Chapter 106: Filial piety can be outsourced. I have never seen such a thing before.
Zhao originally had a mental illness. As long as he broke through the shackles in his heart and woke up, his body would also get better.
Especially since she was in a coma for less than a day and a night, her body was not affected too much. She could get out of bed and walk after taking some medicine and eating some soft and vegetarian food.
But no matter whether Zhao was taking medicine or eating soup, or being helped by her maid to change clothes and get out of bed, her eyes never left Lu Xinran, which made Lu Xinran very confused.
She didn't think that Zhao's vicious look meant he wanted to reconcile with her and her daughter.
She moved behind Lu Xinlan, not wanting to argue with her at all when she was weak and therefore right.
Lu Xinlan has never figured out how to handle the relationship between the three of them.
She is not her original self, and the fact that she has taken over someone else's nest has always been on her mind.
She wanted to leave on the first day she came here, but the Lu family would not let her leave. She took over the body of her original owner and had to fulfill her filial duties on their behalf.
After "getting to know" Lu Xinran, her dependence on her has only increased. Although she doesn't know how she can help by staying by her side, it should always be good to have her help her with some matters.
She had always been conflicted in her heart and had stayed there out of shamelessness. Now, seeing the hostility between the mother and daughter, she began to feel guilty about being a thief.
Although no one was talking at that moment, it gave people a sense of confusion.
Lu Yuanheng looked at everyone in the room and felt unfamiliar with them.
He looked at Lu Xinran hiding behind her older sister and always felt that she was too ignorant.
"Xinlan, Xinran, mother's health has not improved yet. You should stay here to take care of her for the next few days."
Lu Xinlan tilted his head to look, and before he said anything, he had already started to complain.
[This is just lip service to filial piety. You don’t do anything yourself, just say something, push all the troubles onto others, and keep the filial piety to yourself.]
[If you are so filial, why don't you come and serve me? Don't talk about the difference between men and women. Filial piety is not gender-specific.]
[If you really care about it, then always serve by your parents' bedside, do everything with all your heart and effort, and do not use filial piety to restrict others. ]
[I don't want to do anything, I just pay lip service to filial piety, and I can outsource filial piety. I've never seen such a thing in my life. 】
[I have read so many books by sages for so many years, but they have become useless.]
Lu Yuanheng was a little dazed by the barrage of complaints. He looked at Lu Xinlan in a daze. What did he just say wrong?
As women and daughters, isn't it natural for them to be by their mother's side and serve her well and show filial piety?
Zhao couldn't bear to see her son being scolded for no reason again, so she glared at Lu Xinran.
"I have a nanny and maids by my side, so I don't need Xin Lan to serve me. I can't bear to let her suffer by my side."
Lu Xinran rolled his eyes, thinking that a collision would make her sober up a little, and that she would be more clever in her speech and actions. Now it seems that even if her head is hit, she will still be like this.
[Has she forgotten that her mother-in-law is still in the room? Who is she talking to? Is she telling her grandmother that it is hard to take care of her when she is sick? She has maids and servants around her, so she should not be forced to suffer when she is sick?]
Zhao: “……?!!”
She is not, she didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!
Pei rubbed her brows and took a step forward, separating the mother and daughter who were full of fighting spirit.
"You and the children were frightened by the unexpected incident yesterday. Take good care of yourself in the orphanage for the next few days."
As for taking care of the sick, forget it, don't bother the children.
It’s not like there are no servants.
Lu Yuanheng wanted to say something, but Pei's look made him swallow the words back again.
Zhao felt sorry for Lu Xinlan. Thinking that she was also injured the day before and had to force herself to accompany Lu Xinran into the palace today, she hurriedly called out to chase them away.
Lu Xinran listened to the advice and turned around and walked out first. Zhao snorted and quickly signaled Lu Xinlan to go back and rest as well.
Pei glanced at Lu Yuanheng. This eldest grandson was being spoiled by the old man. If he was not restrained, he would definitely become another Lu Kant.
Thinking of her eldest son who was completely spoiled by Lu Jinchuan, she sighed quietly.
Lu Xinran looked at Lu Yuanheng who left with Pei, and she leaned over and hugged Lu Xinlan's arm.
"Do you think his personality is very similar to Zhao's?"
They are the kind of people who always think they are right and don't consider other people's feelings at all.
Lu Xinlan thought about it seriously and just nodded slightly.
Mrs. Zhao was an extremely selfish person. Not only was Lu Yuanheng influenced by her, but the extreme part of her personality was also affected by her.
"I'm here, don't worry too much, just go back and have a good rest."
"I know, I know. Let's go together. Zhao has servants by her side, so we don't need to worry too much."
The system said that as long as she woke up, nothing would happen. But just now, it was still staring at her with full energy, so it should be fine soon.
"I don't know if Lord Rong En has gathered the money. The emperor has given him a deadline of the evening of the day after tomorrow. He has guards guarding his house, and he cannot continue to get close to Prince Yu. His days ahead will be difficult."
The overly gloating tone of voice made Lu Xinlan start to speculate as well.
"This is just the beginning. This time in Lord Rong's Mansion will be very difficult."
Pulling out the radish brought out the mud; Lu Xinran couldn't see it but she had seen it clearly.
The Rong'en Marquis's Mansion has been abandoned by the Emperor, and Zhao Jingtian's family will not have a good ending.
On the second day after Zhao was recuperating in the mansion, many people in the capital discovered that all the properties that originally belonged to the Rong'en Marquis's mansion had been sold at low prices, many of which were the properties of the former Yun family.
On the third day of Zhao's recuperation, the gate of the Rong'en Marquis's mansion was opened, and boxes of gold, silver, silk, pearls and jade were carried out of the mansion.
Some curious people followed the group carrying the boxes and walked to the gate of the Ministry of Revenue.
It was clearly not a house search, but it was comparable to a house search.
"Looking at the attitude of the Rong En Marquis's Mansion, they really want to hand over Yun's dowry."
"Didn't they all donate it to the imperial court? Half of the Yun family's wealth, how much money would that be?"
"But there's more than that. Yun took away the most profitable shop of the Yun family. You can calculate how much money these shops have earned over the years. Money makes money. We dare not even think about that number."
The streets have been filled with discussions these past two days.
Zhao Jingtian didn't care about these rumors at this moment. He was extremely worried these past two days.
Yun's dowry was too much, including shops, farms, and land... The account books of these industries for just one year could fill a large box.
The emperor also sent an oral order that all the account books of the past forty years should be submitted to the Ministry of Revenue along with the dowry.
He didn't even know how much income he had earned over the years, as the money in the Earl's Mansion was never spent.
"Uncle, you can't take these away! I have kept these pearls and jade for many years. They will be handed over to my daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law in the future. You can't give them away."
Tao rushed to Zhao Jingtian and tried to snatch the box back.
Zhao Jingtian pushed the man away. They had already fallen to this point. If they were not careful, they would be doomed. In the future... they also had to have a future.
