Chapter 338 Have You Really Thought It Through?
Mrs. Zhao just couldn't understand why her well-behaved and sensible daughter wanted to divorce over a trivial matter just a few months after getting married.
She couldn't understand why Pei could understand Lu Xinlan's feelings.
She waved her hand, motioning Zhao to sit aside and not interrupt them anymore.
Zhao was extremely nervous, but Pei's eyes were so sharp that she shuddered and subconsciously sat back in the chair she had just sat in.
She tightened her clothes, raised her eyes and met Lu Xinran's half-smile, and instantly regained her composure.
Her precious daughter’s future is more important, and she doesn’t have time to compete with this guy now!
Thinking of this, she snorted and turned her eyes away, which made Lu Xinran feel a little surprised.
She originally thought that she and Lu Xinlan came back together. With Zhao's indiscriminate nature, Lu Xinlan would definitely blame her for leaving Zhao, thinking that she was the one who instigated it.
Well, it's okay, not too stupid.
Zhao: “…”
Even if she doesn't know that others can hear your thoughts, you can't keep scolding her for being stupid in your heart, otherwise she will immediately turn hostile regardless of the situation!
Pei didn't want to pay attention to their little quarrel. Facing Lu Xinlan's slightly nervous gaze, she just asked another question with concern.
"Xinlan, have you ever thought about getting divorced right after you got married? What will happen to Chongli? He will have to die next year. If you do this... you will ruin him, right?"
Hearing Pei mention Tang Chongli, Lu Xinlan bit his lower lip tightly.
She knew that the biggest victim of the divorce would be Tang Chongli, and that he was doing his best to protect her by being between them.
"Divorce is not a trivial matter. Liu came here in anger yesterday. She must have been upset by what you said. But she didn't say a word about your fault after she came in. In her heart, she probably didn't think that this matter would end up in a divorce.
"I know you're not happy, but listen to grandma's advice. Don't make things too bad. Just try to get on with your life.
"Didn't the kid from Chongli also promise you that he would apply for a transfer out of town after he graduated from high school? Then you can leave Beijing together and live your own lives.
"There are many ways to solve the problem. Divorce is the worst option. Grandma still hopes that you can really think it through."
Lu Xinlan's eyes dimmed. Pei was right.
Her words and actions over the past two days seemed to outsiders to be a temper tantrum, and also seemed to be resentful and inconsiderate to anyone.
She closed her eyes, trying to grasp her true thoughts and feelings amidst the chaos of thoughts.
"Old lady."
There was a servant's voice outside the door, and Mrs. Pei gave a look to Madam Xu, who hurried out to ask what had happened.
"Madam, it's Madam Tang who's here. She's already entered the mansion."
There was still no delivery note, but the servants in the mansion did not dare to stop anyone, so Liu got off the car and went straight into the mansion, and was now walking to Zhaoyun Courtyard.
Pei glanced at Lu Xinlan and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
Liu had been thinking about this matter since she returned to the Tang Mansion yesterday. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Is Lu Xinlan trying to use He Di to control her?
Do you really think she will be scared by this and let her do whatever she wants in the house?
She had to wait two years before giving birth, and her silly son obeyed her in everything, so she couldn't force him to do anything in his bedroom.
But she can be allowed to do whatever she wants in this matter, but not in other matters. Otherwise, where is her authority as a mother-in-law?
She asked people to keep an eye on the movements at Prince Wei's Mansion, and after discovering that the two sisters had returned to Lu's Mansion early in the morning, she immediately rushed over.
In her opinion, although Lu Xinlan had said some harsh words in the mansion yesterday, she would definitely not mention such a ridiculous thing as divorce to the elders of the Lu family.
She hurried over here today just to give her a step in front of the Lu family so that she could go back home with her.
Otherwise, the daughter-in-law they just married would first live in Prince Wei's mansion and then move back to her parents' home. If outsiders found out, would the Tang family still be able to save face?
Liu was in high spirits. As soon as she entered the yard, she spotted Lu Xinlan standing next to Pei.
Very good, you look a little haggard, it seems you didn’t sleep well last night.
It’s okay to be worried and anxious!
"What brings Madam Tang here? Come in and sit down."
Pei greeted everyone warmly, and everyone returned to the house in great excitement.
Pei pulled Lu Xinlan in and let her sit next to her, holding her hand tightly.
Liu looked at Pei's actions and wondered what Pei knew.
She never thought of herself as a wicked mother-in-law who would make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Without rules, there would be no order. She was just doing what ordinary mothers-in-law in Beijing would do, which was to set rules for the bride.
If she had discovered early on that Lu Xinlan was too opinionated and had the power over Tang Chongli the moment she came home, she would definitely not have chosen her as her daughter-in-law.
However, although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she still had to consider the reputation of the Tang family. She glanced at Lu Xinlan again before speaking with a smile.
"Xin Lan said yesterday that she had something important to do and wanted to go to the Prince of Wei's mansion to look for the Princess of Wei. They just encountered an accident yesterday, so I thought it would be inappropriate for her to go back alone. Why don't I come and pick her up? I'm not too busy at home anyway."
Her words gave enough face to Pei and Lu Xinlan. In her opinion, if Lu Xinlan still had some sense, he should follow her words and go back with her.
Pei smiled and patted the back of Lu Xinlan's hand, "I knew that Madam Tang was a caring person, and she knew how to care for us Xinlan.
"This child was spoiled by me and her mother. The imperial physician said that it would not harm a girl's health to give birth after the age of 20, so she made a note of it.
"You said that we didn't even think of asking the imperial physician back then. We all thought that we would have children for our husband's family as soon as we got married. We forgot that if we didn't take good care of our bodies, we would suffer in the future."
Pei spoke with a smile and in a casual tone, but Liu's expression suddenly became stiff.
Her eyes suddenly became sharp and shot straight at Lu Xinlan. Did she really tell Pei and the others about what happened in the mansion?
[What's that look? Do you have some shame now?]
[When you were hypocritically thinking of ways to torture your sister every day, why didn't you think about whether these things would affect the reputation of their Tang family if they got out? 】
[What do you mean a mother-in-law sets rules for her daughter-in-law? Was she set rules when she married Tang Quyan? ]
[She had her mother-in-law firmly in her control since she entered the house. Now she is afraid that she will suffer the same fate, so she wants to take the initiative, right? ]
[She only knows how to do this kind of drama where a woman embarrasses her daughter. She has no vision or heart.]
[If I had known that Liu was such a person, I should have tried my best to prevent this marriage.]
[It's a pity that my dignified and elegant sister has to have such a mother-in-law. It's really a bloody tragedy for her. ]
Liu, whose cheeks flushed red from the series of inner voices, raised her hands to defend herself, but when she felt the gazes of Pei and Zhao, she couldn't say a word of the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She... since when did she only make things difficult for that damn girl Lu Xinlan? !
