Chapter 404: Unable to get what you want
When Lu Xingyue heard that Yu Shengsheng and the other two had arrived, she was overjoyed and came to greet them in person despite being stopped.
She walked forward and hugged the three of them, jumping and dancing, and took them to the garden and the greenhouse. She ordered people to prepare snacks, candied fruits, and tea, all of which were the tastes of the three people that she remembered when she was in Zhenqiao Tower.
Lu Xingyue is like a butterfly, flying east and west, seemingly tireless.
Mrs. Lu was originally worried and wanted her to take good care of her health, but when she saw this scene, she stopped.
"Madam," the maid beside her said, "Miss, are you tired from all this?"
Mrs. Lu's eyes moistened unconsciously: "We were wrong. Perhaps we were all wrong before. I have never seen Xingyue like this before. She is always sick. It's not because she is not in good health, but because we wrongly locked her heart."
There were sounds of laughter and joy, but Mrs. Lu was in tears.
She turned around and saw the old lady standing not far away, so she hurried over to greet her.
"Mother."
Old Madam Lu glanced at Lu Xingyue who was sitting in the pavilion. She didn't know what Jin Baobao said, but Lu Xingyue slammed the table and laughed.
She doesn't act like a noble lady at all.
Madam Lu also laughed unconsciously: "Forget it, as long as they are safe and healthy, it's no big deal. The sons of our Lu family have been bound by too many constraints and have to bear too much pressure and responsibility, so let the daughters be more casual."
"Otherwise, why are you guys fighting for a seat in the court? You say it's for the king, but when you close the door, isn't it to protect the safety of your clan?"
"If you can't even protect your wife, daughter and sisters, then what's the point of fighting for it?"
Mrs. Lu's heart warmed: "Mother is right, Xingyue's marriage..."
"Not just Xingyue, for the marriages of the other girls, we need to first get their consent, find out their personalities, and then have them meet in secret. If they are willing, we can proceed with the next step."
"Yes, thank you, mother."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Lu Xingyue shouted, "Third brother!"
Turning around, they saw Lu Xingzhan coming over and walking towards them.
Yu Shengsheng stopped laughing and quickly stood up to greet him.
Lu Xingzhan glanced at her and said, "Alright, I am a commoner, and my status is not as high as yours. Are you making fun of me?"
Yu Shengsheng smiled faintly: "Of course not, I haven't thanked the Third Master for speaking for me in the temple yet."
Lu Xingzhan narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her: "So, you did it on purpose, you know everything, right?"
Yu Shengsheng blinked: "What? What do I know?"
Lu Xingzhan stared at her for a long while, his eyes slightly deep.
Yu Shengsheng was stunned, vaguely feeling that there was something else in this look.
Lu Hu said, "Miss, have a cup of tea."
He poured more tea calmly and stopped Lu Xingzhan's gaze.
Lu Xingzhan lowered his eyes and looked at the candied fruit. Lu Xingyue noticed his gaze and took the plate away.
"Third brother, this is for Shengsheng, don't try to snatch it."
Lu Xingzhan: “…”
"Well, Yu Xiaosha, I'm going to the military for training."
Yu Shengsheng almost choked: "What?"
Lu Xingyue reached out and touched his forehead: "Third brother, are you stupid?"
Lu Xingzhan opened her hand: "What are you talking about? Your third brother went to the army, so he is stupid? Can't I do something?"
Yu Shengsheng saw his serious look and thought about Lu Xingyao's current status, and she could understand him a little.
He handed the teacup forward and said, "Third Young Master, I wish you all the best and a bright future."
Lu Xingzhan felt a lump in his throat and raised his teacup: "The future is bright..."
I'm afraid my wish cannot be fulfilled.
Mrs. Lu was terrified from a distance: "Mother, Zhan'er..."
The old lady sighed softly: "Zhan'er is a smart child. He may seem absurd, but he is actually very sensible. Let him be."
"But, this princess and the one in Zhenqiao Tower..."
The old lady looked at Yu Shengsheng: "Didn't I just say that Zhan'er is a sensible child, otherwise, he wouldn't have asked to join the army. This princess is a good child, if not... it would be a good choice."
"You and I don't need to interfere. Let the children decide for themselves."
"Come on, follow me to the kitchen and let the princess have dinner."
"yes."
Lu Xingyue cheered with joy when she learned that she could invite Yu Shengsheng to have dinner in her yard.
Yu Shengsheng didn't expect that when she heard that it was Old Madam Lu's idea, her favorable impression of the Lu family increased a little more.
With an old lady like this, the family will surely prosper.
After dinner in the afternoon, knowing that Lu Xingyue had the habit of taking a nap, Yu Shengsheng said goodbye and repeatedly assured her that he would visit her often and agreed to go out and play together in a few days.
Yu Shengsheng didn't let her see her off, and followed an old maid to lead the way out of the house.
Met Lu Xingyao halfway.
"Princess, I heard you were visiting, but I didn't dare to disturb you. Xingyue has been weak since she was a child and doesn't have many friends. Thank you, Princess, for treating her as a close friend."
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "My Lord, you are very polite. Miss Lu treats me very well, and friendship is mutual."
Lu Xingyao nodded: "The princess is smart."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "My third brother is going to the army for training. Has the princess heard about it?"
"I met the Third Young Master today. I heard from him that he is a generous, righteous and enthusiastic person. I believe he will achieve something."
Lu Xingyao paused and laughed: "He is generous, righteous and enthusiastic? If my third brother knew your evaluation of him, he would be very happy."
"I'm just telling the truth. The Third Young Master deserves it." Yu Shengsheng bowed, "Eldest Young Master, I'm sorry to bother you for a long time. I'm leaving now."
Lu Xingyao made way, watched her leave, and let out a long sigh.
…
Yu Shengsheng left the Lu family and looked at the time. She thought that Fu Qingyin had been busy and must want to rest now. She decided not to bother him and go back to the house.
She was also a little sleepy and wanted to fall asleep in the car, so she fell asleep when she returned to the cottage.
In a trance, I saw a figure swaying in front of my eyes. I suddenly opened my eyes, turned over and sat up, and pulled the quilt tightly with panic.
Fu Qingyin was startled, and the fingers that were about to stroke her forehead stopped.
When Yu Shengsheng saw clearly that it was him, she let out a sigh of relief and let down her guard.
"Commander, why are you here?"
Fu Qingyin took back his hand: "Well, you didn't come after dinner, come and take a look."
Yu Shengsheng obviously didn't take what happened just now to heart, and asked quickly in a low voice: "I heard that the queen... is it true?"
Fu Qingyin looked at her expectant eyes and asked, "Do you want her to die or live?"
"Of course I want her to die," Yu Shengsheng clenched his fists slightly, "but not now, and she shouldn't die like this."
"What I heard from Baobao are just rumors. They have not been confirmed and cannot be trusted completely, so I want to ask you."
Fu Qingyin spoke slowly, "There was indeed a fire in the Queen's palace, which killed dozens of palace maids and eunuchs. The Emperor also ordered a grand funeral."
Yu Shengsheng felt strange: "Is she really dead?"
Just die like that?
