Chapter 150 She is not us
Cuizhu was so surprised that an egg could fit in her mouth.
"Girl, did you receive the news early in the morning?"
Lu Xinran smiled and shook his head, "I guessed."
Judging from An's not-so-pure maternal love, if she knew that Qiu Zixian's grandfather was a second-rank military commander, she would have allowed him to trace his ancestry without any hesitation.
After all, Qiu Zixian's biological parents have passed away, and even if he returns to his ancestral home, it will not affect her position in Qiu Zixian's heart.
On the contrary, he had a family of a second-rank military general, and she and her family could benefit from it, which was beneficial to her no matter how she looked at it.
Therefore, in her opinion, An would only pretend to stop him, and then make Qiu Zixian go back to his family as if it was a great sacrifice.
The fact was just as she guessed. That afternoon, Zhang Shuier came to Lu's house because she wanted to find her good sister to talk to.
She pulled Lu Xinran and her sister aside to complain harshly about her aunt.
"You don't know how outrageous she is. The day after my cousin came back to live with his family, she brought her niece to visit. Although she didn't mention my cousin's marriage, who wouldn't understand her behavior?"
This is a really low-brow way of doing things.
Are they afraid that the Gu family will secretly arrange a marriage for Qiu Zixian?
Lu Xinlan just smiled and said nothing, but Lu Xinran spoke quickly: "Actually, if your cousin stays in the Gu family in the future and never returns to the Qiu family, it doesn't matter what kind of person your aunt is."
Zhang Shuier: “?!!”
It seems that this is the truth!
If he returns to his ancestral home and becomes Gu Zixian, he will definitely have to return to the Gu family in the future.
After getting married, he lived with his wife in Gu's house, so it was difficult for An, the mother-in-law, to show off her power.
Unless she doesn't care about her own reputation.
"But you'd better discuss this matter with your mother and the old lady. Your cousin looks at you with hooks in his eyes. If he really doesn't return to the Qiu family in the future, he will definitely be a good match for you."
Even if he acknowledges his ancestry and still considers himself a member of the Qiu family in the future, they will just be cousins forever.
Zhang Shui'er nodded in a daze. She didn't expect that she came to Lu's house just to complain to them, but she didn't expect the topic to turn to herself again.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother that if this doesn't work out, then, then I'll be your sister-in-law!"
Zhao family!
With such a stupid and stubborn character, she was confident that she could control her severely!
Zhang Shui'er came and went in a hurry like a gust of wind. Lu Xinran stood outside the mansion and watched the carriage of the Duke's Mansion go away gradually, feeling speechless.
"She," she turned sideways, her eyes full of uncertainty, "she just said that it would be nice to marry into our Lu family?"
Lu Xinlan nodded in amusement, knowing that she must have forgotten her previous unintentional complaint.
But although she said it unintentionally, Zhang Shui'er listened to it with interest and must have been thinking about it in her mind for several days.
"But, but..."
She wanted to say that Lu Yuanheng was a scumbag, with a head full of chaotic tadpoles, but Lu Xinlan interrupted with a smile: "No buts, Xinran, she is not us."
When getting married, one should also look for good relationships between the two families and a good match in terms of social status.
Even though Lu Yuanheng was a total minus in her eyes, in the eyes of people in this time and space, he was a young talent who had already been admitted to a prestigious university in his early twenties.
He also had a grandfather who was a minister, and a father and second uncle who were also Jinshi graduates. The Lu family was a glorious family and he was a rare and lucky son-in-law.
The reason why the marriage has not been settled yet is that Zhao has high standards and does not like girls from ordinary families.
She had previously wanted to choose Tang Wanrou, but both Liu and Tang Quyan wanted to find a husband for their daughter who shared her temperament.
With Tang Wanrou as an example, and the two sisters having a close friend like Zhang Shui'er, the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, Zhao's standards were infinitely raised, and it was naturally difficult to choose a daughter-in-law.
Lu Xinran listened to her explanation. Although he didn't want to admit it, he no longer insisted on denying Lu Yuanheng completely.
As the two sisters talked, neither of them realized that when they began to consider the people around them, they had become more and more integrated into this time and space, and into their identities.
On the second day of the winter month, Qiu Zixian officially returned to the Gu family to recognize his ancestors.
His grandfather brought the clan leader and elders to open an ancestral hall, burn incense to the ancestors and formally wrote his name Gu Zixian into the family tree.
From this day on, he was the only descendant of the second branch of the Dragon and Tiger General's Mansion, the third son of the Gu family, and no longer the eldest son of the Qiu family.
Mrs. An almost fainted from crying as she watched the son whom she had raised for twenty years kneeling in front of the Gu family's ancestral hall and burning incense.
The son she had raised for twenty years and brought up with great difficulty had now become a child of another family. How could she accept this calmly?
Especially, after Gu Zixian recognized his ancestors and returned to the ancestral home, he would never return to the Qiu family. In the future, he would be the third son of the Gu family, and he would marry and have children here. He would no longer have any relationship with the Qiu family or her.
She originally planned to hide her son so that as long as no one mentioned him, the Gu family would never be able to find him.
But no matter how she begged Qiu Zhenye, Qiu Zhenye, who would always listen to her arrangements in everything, was extremely tough this time.
It has been twenty years since they kidnapped the child from the Gu family. He felt sorry for his good brother who was in heaven, and also sorry for the Gu family members who were still in the world and struggling to find their family.
The next day, he took Gu Zixian to Gu's house, and was severely whipped twenty times by Gu Pingchang.
An originally wanted to work with the Gu family to help Gu Zixian recognize his relatives, and then return to the Qiu family.
After seeing the injuries on Qiu Zhenye's body and feeling the hatred of the Gu family, she never dared to say this again.
She was unwilling to let go of the son she had raised with great effort, so she took her niece from her mother's side to the Gu family.
The old lady of the general's mansion guessed the purpose of the aunt and niece when she saw them, but she hated her for occupying her grandson for twenty years, and she looked down on the petty-mindedness of the An family, so no matter what she said, the other party would not agree to this marriage.
Mrs. An thought that after her son returned to his ancestral home, he would have no relationship with her at all and she would no longer be able to interfere in his marriage, and she felt sad again.
What should her niece do if she can't decide on marriage?
Qingyu had already chosen him, and she had also promised her elder brother and sister-in-law that she would get them engaged after she reached the age of 15.
Now...it's all over.
The more An thought about it, the sadder she became. When she saw the head of the Gu family picking up a pen to write her son's name on the family tree, she closed her eyes and fell down.
The maid and the nanny beside her were about to shout when they were slapped in the face by the nanny sent by Old Madam Gu.
"What are you yelling about? You are ruining the Third Young Master's important event of returning to his ancestral home. Can you afford it?"
The nanny beside An had never been treated with such contempt and slaps before. She was about to lose her temper with a frown on her face, but when she saw the other party raising his hand to slap her again, she gritted her teeth and whispered, knowing the situation very well.
"Our wife has fainted, hurry up and call the eldest master!"
"Will she wake up when he comes?" Nanny Gu glanced at An, who had her eyes tightly closed, and said, "I didn't know that the Third Young Master could have the same superb medical skills as the imperial physician.
"If she is pretending, she can wake up at any time. If she really fainted, we have a doctor in our house. I will ask someone to call him. The Third Young Master does not know medicine, so what is your purpose in calling him?
"Want him to see that your wife has been abused by our family?"
