Chapter 151 My son presented me with a beautiful woman
Not far away, Zhang Shui'er, who came to watch the ceremony, saw this scene and was so secretly happy that she could hardly suppress the smile.
She knew that her aunt would intend to ruin the ceremony, so she asked Mrs. Qiu to remind Madam Gu in a tactful way early in the morning.
As expected, the old lady listened to the advice and specially sent two powerful maids to guard An today.
But it's still a bit of a pity.
The Lu family is a family of civil officials, and has always been clearly distinguished from the family of military generals and has little intersection.
But if Lu Xinran were here, she would know whether her good aunt was really dizzy or just pretending to be dizzy.
Before the ceremony was completed, An was carried directly to the backyard room by the servants of the Gu family.
For fear of being accused of being rude, the third wife of the Gu family came to the room to watch over her.
An was supported by someone and drank a whole bowl of medicine with coptis root added in it. She felt so miserable that she couldn't say anything.
The day after Gu Zixian returned to his ancestral home, Zhang Shuier excitedly ran to Lu's house to share the "interesting things" of the previous day with Lu Xinran and the others.
"Aunt, you've done something wrong this time. I heard that there was a lot of coptis root in that bowl of medicine. It smells terrible."
If Mrs. An really fainted, she would definitely vomit out the medicine after waking up and then push the medicine bowl away.
But he actually drank the whole bowl, which showed that he had a guilty conscience no matter how you looked at it.
Lu Xinran laughed so hard that he fell backwards. It was okay to add Coptis chinensis, but how much did the Gu family hate Qiu Zhenye and An!
But these two people are indeed hateful. Gu Zixian is not without family, so they just took him back to Anshi to "treat" him in a moment of desperation.
The secret has been kept secret for twenty years, causing the Gu family to worry and be heartbroken for so many years. Now An still looks as miserable as if they have suffered so much injustice and their son has been taken away by someone else. Even if she is a member of the Gu family, she would be very disgusted.
How is this any different than being scammed by a pile of shit?
Zhang Shui'er listened to her comparing An to a dirty thing in her mind and started laughing so hard that her body trembled.
"Has your cousin known about this? What was his reaction?"
Lu Xinlan waited until they both finished laughing before asking another question. Zhang Shuier thought about it.
"My cousin... probably doesn't know about this. My aunt didn't feel comfortable mentioning it, so the Gu family naturally wouldn't mention it either."
"Really?"
Lu Xinlan smiled meaningfully, and Zhang Shuier's smile faded a little before she smiled brightly again.
"Who knows? It doesn't matter."
As long as he 'doesn't know' about this, there's no need to be caught in the middle.
"Look at it this way. Your aunt is not without merit. She didn't mention this matter to your cousin because she didn't want to embarrass him."
So it is true that she has the careful intention to raise the An family, and it is also true that she loves her son deeply.
Zhang Shuier nodded, and suddenly felt that it was a bit boring to talk about this matter again.
"Forget it, let's not talk about them. I heard from my grandfather that Prince Yu is back. He went straight to the palace after arriving in Beijing yesterday evening and did not come out all night."
"Is Prince Yu back?"
Lu Xinran pulled the person out from the corner of his memory.
If she remembered correctly, they went to Jiangnan to solve the flood problem that day, right?
It's already winter and he just came back... He didn't succeed in solving the problem by freezing the water, did he?!
Thinking of how he had previously mocked her and Lu Xinlan for being impolite, she immediately started to flip through her little notebook of grudges.
I hope Song Junhe didn't do anything shameful during his trip to Jiangnan!
Otherwise, she would have dug it all out, and then everyone who tried to spread it would know about it!
Zhang Shui'er chuckled, suddenly grabbed their necks and asked them to move closer to her.
She lowered her voice and laughed obscenely, "I heard that he brought back some beauties."
What she didn't say was that he brought half of these beauties with him when he entered the palace.
Although she didn't say it, Lu Xinran had already seen it from the booklet after being reminded by the system.
My son presented me with a beautiful woman!
Is it that Song Junhe is too courageous, or does he know his father too well?
As if she could sense her eagerness to see the excitement, Zhang Shuier's smile became a little more obscene.
"The birthday of the wife of the Minister of War will be in a few days. Has your family received the invitation?"
Lu Xinran looked at Lu Xinlan instantly and saw Lu Xinlan nodded slightly.
"Received, but Concubine Shu is in trouble. The Kong family is her family, so the birthday of Madam Kong will not be celebrated as grandly as in previous years. The person who came tactfully suggested that it would be best for each family not to bring the young ones."
When she said this, her eyes fell directly on Lu Xinran. Why not let him take care of the younger generation...she was the reason.
Zhang Shuier snorted, "Shufei has been bullying the harem for so many years, isn't that what she deserves? What euphemism? If we don't understand, that's it."
After spending a long time with Lu Xinran, her speech and actions began to become more like Xinran's.
The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of Confucius’ wife, Mrs. Cai.
The Lu sisters arrived at Pei's courtyard early in the morning, and the whole family got on a carriage and rushed to the Minister of War's residence.
It had been a long time since Lu Jinchuan had ridden in the same carriage with his old wife. He talked for a long time without getting any response from Pei.
"Mingyue, it's been so long since that happened, can't you just..."
"cannot!"
Pei glanced at him coldly, as if she saw something dirty.
"Lu Jinchuan, there is no turning back in life. If you do something wrong, don't even think about turning back. I don't want to, and neither should you."
If it weren't for the children, she wouldn't even be willing to show superficial harmony today.
Lu Jinchuan looked at her in a daze, and he didn't say anything until the carriage stopped in front of the Confucius Mansion.
But in front of outsiders, he still got out of the car first, then turned back and helped Pei down.
In the Kong Mansion, Mrs. Kong, Mrs. Cai, got a headache when she heard that the entire Lu family had come, especially the young man who could pry into people's privacy.
She didn't want her family to become a laughing stock, and she didn't want anyone else to get into trouble in their house and be blamed.
Hadn't we already told Pei not to bring the kid along? Why did he still bring him here?
She looked at the group of people coming in with a headache, but she suppressed her annoyance, smiled and invited Pei to come over and sit down.
"It's worth it to have you come here in person to celebrate my birthday today."
"Look at what you said. At our age, we still want to see our old sisters whenever we have the chance."
Pei smiled and sat over, trying to cover up the fact that she was actually there to watch the excitement with a high-sounding excuse.
