Chapter 66: Moral kidnapping, right?

Pei has been the mistress of the family for so many years, and has experienced both glory and desolation.

After going through many storms, to this day, she doesn't see anything wrong in having to rely on her granddaughter to vent her anger.

As long as you can vent your anger, the details don't matter.

Lu Xinran received the news in the evening that her grandmother would recover early the next morning, and she went to sleep with a smile on her face.

The next morning, without Cuizhu and Cuixi waking her up, she put on her new dress in high spirits and tied her hair into a neat bun with a thumb-sized hairpin inlaid with oriental pearls.

She put on the Buddhist beads given by the Queen Mother on her wrist, looked at herself again and again in the bronze mirror, then took out a gold locket from the box and hung it around her neck.

Well, it looks luxurious and luxurious, very good!

When the granddaughters came back, someone helped to support Pei's back, and Pei's illness was almost cured immediately.

When Lu Xintong and Lu Xinling heard that they would go to visit Aunt Wang in her room later in the evening, they were so happy that they surrounded Lu Xinran and chattered non-stop.

Lu Kanghe's wife, Wang, still had swollen eyes. She had been very worried and stressed out during this period.

She was the illegitimate sister of Wang Jianmin, the Minister of Honglu Temple. First, Wang Jianmin's mission went wrong, and all the evidence of his corruption was found out, and a memorial was submitted to the emperor.

Although she was only a concubine's sister and not from the same mother as Wang Chien-ming, Lu Kang-he was loved by Lu Jin-chuan. As Lu Kang-he's legal wife, she was also highly respected in her parents' home.

Over the years, the couple has taken many opportunities to go back and reap the benefits.

Originally, when Wang Jianmin got into trouble, the Wang family asked her to help think of a solution.

As a result, before she had the chance to talk to Lu Kanghe about this matter, she was thrown into the Shuntian Prefecture jail for manslaughter.

"Mother, Third Master is begging you to think of a solution."

As she spoke, tears started to fall from her eyes again.

Her parents' family was finished, her husband was finished, and her world was about to fall.

Pei looked at her kindly, her eyes were indescribably kind, but the words she said were not at all pleasant to the ear.

"What good solutions can an old woman like me come up with? This matter, hey, there are witnesses and evidence, and it is a case handled by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince himself. It is difficult."

"Mother, you are an old friend of the Empress Dowager, please help the Third Master."

Wang knelt down with a plop and crawled to Pei's front on her knees, as if she would not get up unless Pei gave her a response.

This sudden change immediately made everyone in the room pay attention. Lu Xinran had already taken out Wang's booklet.

[What is she doing? Forcing her grandmother to commit moral kidnapping?]

[Why doesn't she ask Aunt Wang to find a solution for Lu Kanghe? ]

[She had been trying to help Aunt Wang trap her grandmother, and followed Aunt Wang to seize the public property. Now that something has happened, she remembered that her grandmother is her real mother-in-law. She really does not burn incense when she has nothing to do, but only seek help when she has nothing to do. ]

[How could she have the nerve to ask Grandmother to beg the Queen Mother? A bastard who challenges others every day, when something happened, Grandmother didn't applaud and cheer, which showed that she was kind and magnanimous.]

As soon as Wang's crying started to rise, her face turned red as if someone had pinched her.

Pei was still looking at her with that gentle and kind expression, but a closer look would reveal that her eyes were filled with coldness.

"My dear third son's wife, your father loves him the most. If he can't find a solution, it will be useless for us to ask anyone for help. You don't have to worry too much. Go back and take good care of yourself. You see, you have lost weight in the past few days."

As soon as Mrs. Pei finished speaking, Madam Xu brought two maids and dragged the man up from the ground half-forcefully.

Wang left in a daze. Pei patted her wrinkled clothes and stood up with a smile.

"Such a big thing has happened. Aunt Wang is also a pitiful person. Let's go and see her."

Lu Xinran immediately came up to her happily and held her arm, "Grandma is kind and compassionate. It is her blessing to have a mistress like you."

Lu Xintong and Lu Xinling followed behind him and flattered him, with no one trying to hide their smiles on their faces.

The courtyards of Lu Jinchuan's two concubines were both close to the lake, and the courtyards were only surrounded by trees. People in the room could see the lake view by opening the window.

[As expected, she is the favorite person of the old scumbag. The place he arranged for her to stay is the place with the best view in the mansion. 】

[But living near the lake is very humid, so it's easy to get rheumatism, right? ]

[By then, the two aunts, one with chronic cold legs, the other with rheumatoid arthritis...]

Lu Xinran laughed out loud as he thought about it. The crow's feet at the corners of Pei's eyes made it seem like one of those concubines had cold legs and the other had arthritis.

The imperial physician who came to the mansion to examine them mentioned it vaguely several times, but the old lady thought that she couldn't bear to see those two people living such a good life, so after refusing several times, the imperial physician never mentioned it again.

It was just a small matter and she had forgotten it long ago, but when she heard her precious granddaughter mention it, she suddenly felt extremely happy.

Lu Xinran looked at the lake, and the scene of his original body and Lu Xinlan falling into the lake together flashed through his mind.

I don’t know where they are now, whether I have exchanged souls with them, or whether they have completely disappeared from this world.

Pei looked at the shimmering lake and raised her hand to pat the back of her hand.

Lu Xinran came back to his senses and suddenly grinned.

"Grandmother, if Third Aunt and Aunt Wang come to you for help again, you don't have to refuse them outright."

She chuckled, then blinked when she met Pei's inquiring gaze.

"Third Aunt and Aunt Wang are both well-off. I believe they would be willing to spend some money for their husbands and sons."

Pei was startled, then she started laughing too.

"You're such a smartass!"

In front of the half-open gate, the gatekeepers were chatting together.

Seeing them coming straight towards them, one of them hurried in to pass on the message, while the other one greeted them with a big smile on his face.

Aunt Wang was staring at the curtains above the bed with swollen eyes.

When she heard the servant say that Pei had arrived, she struggled to sit up and asked the maid to put on makeup for her.

After being sick for several days, her palm-sized face became dark and waxy, with very obvious spots on both sides of her cheeks.

Even when she was sick, she would ask her maid to put on pearl powder on her face before Lu Jinchuan came back, covering up her ugly complexion and leaving only the pitiful paleness.

She had been fighting with Pei all her life, so how could she let her see her most embarrassing side?

Pei came in very quickly, and when she saw the pearl powder in the servant's hand, she stepped forward with a smile and blocked the person behind her.

"Hurry up and lie down," she walked over to the bedside, not forgetting to pull up the corner of her back to tuck Aunt Wang in. "You should focus on recuperating now, and don't worry about these details."

She said so, but the sarcasm in her eyes was clearly reflected in Aunt Wang's eyes.

Aunt Wang was so angry that her eyes hurt, and she forced out an ugly smile with blood in her throat.

"Mrs. Lao is worried."

"Oh, it's a pity. I can't help much even if I'm worried. The old man can't think of a solution, so I can't help even more."

Pei's words were so sincere that she almost showed off her schadenfreude.

Lu Xinran huddled in the crowd and began excitedly flipping through the booklet.

[As expected, old ginger is still spicy. Grandmother's words are enough to make Aunt Wang angry to death. Unfortunately, her own son is not doing well, and she can't refute a word. ]

[I would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. Let me see how she entered the mansion and how she degraded herself to become a concubine.]

As soon as she finished speaking, even Pei, who was sitting beside the bed, pricked up her ears and focused.
