Chapter 35 The Thirteenth Concubine 3
Chapter 3
Mr. Lu was panting heavily, and after kicking the door, his old foot was almost lame.
Qi Qi followed Master Lu in and held out his hand to support him. "Master, please don't be angry. The First Madam... The First Madam must have some difficulties!"
The eldest wife and the actor were so frightened that they fell off the bed. They were both shirtless, and when they saw Mr. Lu coming in, they hugged each other in fear.
Hearing Qi Qi's words, the eldest wife quickly pushed the actor away and crawled towards Master Lu.
"Master, Master, it was this actor who forced me to do this!"
Mr. Lu was so angry that he laughed. He looked at the actor and asked, "Did you force the first wife?"
The actor blushed and dared not speak.
Master Lu looked at the first wife mockingly. "I didn't even know my wife was being threatened by an actor. Tell me how he threatened you, and I'll take care of it for you!"
Qi Qi patted Master Lu on the back, "Master, please don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry. The first wife was just momentarily possessed by evil spirits. If you are really angry, let the first wife kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole night..."
Mr. Lu's cheek twitched, and he snorted and said, "You're really good at making excuses for her!"
Qi Qi quickly knelt down and said weakly, "Master, I am just a new concubine. The eldest wife is my elder sister. I...I am also doing this for the sake of family harmony!"
"Haha!" He just laughed when several curious servants came over, cried out "ouch", and fell to the ground in fright. Soon, the eldest lady's yard was in chaos.
If Qi Qi hadn’t persuaded him, if so many people hadn’t seen it.
Considering that they are an old couple, he really doesn't mind.
It's uncomfortable to wear this green hat.
"Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down. I won't let you out. You have to kneel down there!"
Mr. Lu turned around and walked outside. As he reached the door, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Before his legs stepped out of the door, he felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a bang.
Qi Qi shouted loudly: "Oh, the eldest wife made the master faint from anger. Hurry and call a doctor."
The doctor arrived soon after. Mr. Lu had suffered a stroke due to anger.
It's not a big problem, but he is old and needs careful care.
Qi Qi said, "Master, you are sick. Why don't you let the first wife out? Someone needs to take care of the affairs in the mansion!"
Master Lu's mouth and eyes were crooked, and only his mouth could utter a few words, "No... No!"
The reason he is in his current state is all because of the first wife!
Qi Qi continued, "Master, there's something I want to say, but I don't know if I should say it. I asked around, and it turns out my sisters were all killed by the eldest wife!"
Before Qi Qi entered the mansion, all the concubines were dealt with by the first wife.
Now she is the only one left, only because she just came in and there is no hot Master Lu to give her anything.
Although the first wife was having fun outside, it did not prevent her from having a strong possessiveness over Mr. Lu.
Master Lu became even angrier after hearing this, and he said, "This vicious woman!"
Qi Qi had no choice but to persuade Master Lu not to be angry, "Master, there is one more thing I don't know whether I should say or not. Logically, your health is like this. If I tell you, I'm afraid you will be angry!"
Master Lu straightened his back and raised his head with an effort, "Speak!"
Qi Qi sighed, "The doctor said that there's another reason why you had a stroke. It's because the food that the eldest wife feeds you is too nutritious. You're old, so you can't eat too well. It's easy to have a stroke!"
Mr. Lu's eyes flashed with anger, and he fluttered on the bed like a carp out of water.
He counted six with his left hand and seven with his right hand, pointed outside and scolded loudly, but could only make a loud noise.
In the blink of an eye, the symptoms of his stroke became more obvious.
Qi Qi was frightened and quickly asked someone to call the doctor back. After a lot of treatment, he was finally brought back from the brink of death.
The eldest wife thought that something had happened to Mr. Lu, and as the eldest wife, she should at least take care of the household affairs, so she did not go to the ancestral hall to kneel.
As soon as she heard that Mr. Lu had suffered another stroke, she came trotting with her maids.
"Master, I'm glad you're okay. If something happened to you, what would I do?"
The eldest wife threw herself beside Mr. Lu's bed and cried heartfeltly.
After Mr. Lu suffered another stroke, he was able to speak fluently again.
He pointed at the eldest wife and said, "You bastard, leave all household affairs to Sister Hua. From now on, you will be in the ancestral hall! Apologize to our ancestors!"
The eldest wife fell to the ground in fear. She had never thought that Master Lu would be so heartless. "Master, we are married!"
Speaking of this, Master Lu became even angrier. "Come here, lock her up in the ancestral hall. There is no longer a first wife in the mansion, only the thirteenth concubine!"
Qi Qi walked over with a worried look on his face, patted Master Lu on the back, and comforted the eldest wife, "Madam, the master is just a little angry. You should stay in the ancestral hall first until the master calms down..."
The eldest wife jumped up fiercely, "You little whore, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could the master treat me like this..."
Qi Qi was so frightened that he hid behind Master Lu, raising his eyes provocatively towards the first wife, "Master, I'm scared!"
"I will protect you!" Master Lu said, "You don't have to go to the ancestral hall!"
The eldest wife smiled, after all, they had been married for many years.
She was about to speak when she heard Master Lu say, "You committed adultery with an actor. According to clan rules, you must be drowned. Sister Hua, please ask the elders of the Lu family to come here. Today I will..."
"Master!" The eldest wife knelt in front of the bed, tears streaming down her face. "Master, you can't do this to me. We are husband and wife!"
Master Lu snorted, "Husband and wife? That's how you cheated on me. When you were looking for a gigolo outside, why didn't you think of us as husband and wife? When you killed my concubines, why didn't you think of us as husband and wife?"
The first wife wanted to scold Mr. Lu, asking why he could marry so many concubines.
She can't just find a gigolo.
But these words were too shocking. If she said them, she would probably be thrown into a pig cage.
She bit her lower lip tightly and could only vent her resentment towards Qi Qi, "Do you think you can have a good ending? I have been running the Lu Mansion for many years. Do you think they will listen to you?"
Master Lu slammed the bedside, "I'm not dead yet! I still have the final say in the Lu family!"
Mr. Lu’s words dealt a fatal blow to the first wife.
After all, this is Mr. Lu’s home.
The eldest wife is just a housekeeper, and the one who can really call the shots is Master Lu.
Besides, Qi Qi is not a delicate girl, she has plenty of means.
Within a few days, the entire Lu Mansion was handled in an orderly manner, without any disturbance.
At the beginning, some people tried to curry favor with the eldest wife and brought her water and food.
Qi Qi didn't care and just told his men to turn a blind eye.
After a few days, those who tried to curry favor with the eldest lady found that no matter how they tried, it was useless.
He even offended the Thirteenth Concubine, who was the master's favorite, by trying to curry favor with the First Wife.
They were people who changed their stance according to the situation, and when they saw this scene, they all changed sides.
The eldest wife's life began to become difficult.
Qi Qi didn't take the initiative to deliver food to her, and those who tried to curry favor with her no longer went.
She was so angry that she wanted to go find trouble with Qi Qi, but she couldn't even leave the ancestral hall.
Occasionally, Master Lu would remember and ask her to serve him.
But Mr. Lu is now paralyzed on one side of his body, and only his mouth can still speak.
She served with all her heart, but was still scolded by Master Lu. Although she could have enough food during those days, she was unwilling to go.
When will days like this end?
"Write a letter to the eldest young master and ask him to come back!" The eldest wife then remembered the eldest young master who was studying abroad.
"Take the letter and deliver it to the young master. He must be brought back, otherwise, he may never see his mother again."
The eldest wife cried so hard that she was out of breath. As she wrote the letter, her tears fell drop by drop onto the letter paper.
After handing the letter to her confidant, the eldest wife became unusually happy.
When he thought that after Lu Bingcheng came back, he would no longer have to be bullied by Qi Qi, and he would no longer have to look at the master's face.
The frustration in her heart dissipated a lot.
Qi Qi quickly received the letter.
The eldest wife didn't know how to protect the servants. Everyone in the Lu family, young and old, was now Qi Qi's people.
Even the confidants around the eldest wife obeyed Qi Qi's orders.
Qi Qi, adhering to the attitude that he was just a manager, handed the letter to Mr. Lu.
"Master, the eldest lady wants the young master to come home quickly and inherit the family business!"
Mr. Lu’s face turned red, he was so angry!
"What inheritance? I'm still alive!"
Qi Qi sighed, "Actually, I understand the eldest wife, Master. Your life is getting worse day by day. She must want to make plans for herself!"
Qi Qi helped Master Lu massage his legs and feet. As soon as she put her hands on them, Master Lu's sore legs and feet felt much better.
"Plan! What plan? As long as I'm not dead, her plan is useless!"
Master Lu's face turned pale. "Don't send this letter. Bingcheng hasn't finished his studies yet. Because of her delay, I've become a laughing stock in this town!"
Qi Qi hummed, and she sighed, as if she had something to hide.
"What happened? Just tell me and I'll take care of it for you!"
Qi Qi said guiltily: "Master, don't ask, it's not a big deal!"
"You said, no matter what happens, I can make the decision for you!"
Qi Qi sighed, "Master, actually... it's not a big deal. I just thought... the eldest young master was born to the eldest wife, and there is only one eldest young master in our family!"
Mr. Lu loves this son very much. For so many years, this is his only descendant.
After hearing Qi Qi's words, he still hadn't reacted, and then asked: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Qi Qi quickly said, "Master, just think of it as my imagination. Please don't take it to heart. I... I must be wrong."
"I was wrong, what was wrong?"
Qi Qi looked around and said something else, "The eldest lady has only started looking for actors in the past two years because she feels lonely at home. In the past... Master, I was just overthinking it. How could the eldest young master not be your son!"
Qi Qi quickly covered his mouth and said in panic: "Master, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that."
She knelt on the edge of the bed, kowtowed to Master Lu, and then ran away quickly.
