Ever since she escaped from Duke Cheng's mansion, she would never trust anyone again. Although she had lived in Taizhou for many years, she rarely made close friends with others and rarely told anyone about her life story.
She was good at embroidery and with this skill, she was appreciated by the owner of the embroidery workshop. Under her protection, she lived a simple and stable life.
When her son passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he wrote a letter and sent someone to bring her to the capital, but she originally wanted to refuse.
But when he thought about how his life had been plotted against, he felt unwilling to accept it, so he followed the person back.
The first time he went out on the street after returning, he met Qian Yumei. When she was slandered, it was Princess Lingxiao of the Prince Qin's Mansion who protected her.
This child is affectionate and righteous, and is a likable person.
If she hadn't been here today, she would have definitely suffered because of Qian Yumei's arrogant and domineering personality.
Naituanzi took Lu Ailan back to her own home. Li Sizu did not follow her into the mansion, but said goodbye outside the mansion gate and returned to the palace.
The reason why Lu Ailan followed Chu Xiaoxiao back was that she wanted to tell the old lady about her life experience. She didn't ask her to make decisions for her, but just hoped that she could come forward to support her at the critical moment.
Even if they didn't say anything, Qian Yumei wouldn't dare to act recklessly if she knew that her son was the son-in-law of the Chu family.
Her dowry will definitely be returned.
"Grandma! Grandma! Yes, guests."
After arriving home, Naituanzi struggled out of Lu Ailan's arms, twirled his two short legs, twisted his little butt, and ran quickly to the yard.
Lu Ailan was afraid that she would fall, so she followed closely behind her, while the dark-haired guy walked slowly behind them.
The old lady's people had been watching at the gate of the mansion. Knowing that Chu Xiaoxiao had returned, they ran to report.
Faintly hearing her granddaughter's call, the old lady came out happily to greet her. Seeing the adorable little granddaughter running towards her, her heart was almost melted by her cuteness.
"Grandma's dear granddaughter! Run slower, slower, and don't fall."
The little girl also obeyed and slowed down immediately. She looked back and saw that Lu Ailan had not caught up. She frowned and ran back, shouting as she ran: "Grandma! A guest!"
The old lady was confused by her behavior and asked the nanny beside her: "What did the child say? Are there guests? Who is coming?"
The nanny smiled and replied, "It's probably the princess's own little guest."
"No way! What did her guest bring to me for? It must be a guest who came to see me, but who could it be? I haven't received a visiting card!" The old lady muttered suspiciously.
After a while, I saw the sweaty boy leading a woman towards me. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the mother of my grandson-in-law.
The mother-in-law who looked like she had an extraordinary aura in her bones.
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and asked the nanny beside her to invite Yu and Chu Lianlian. Her mother-in-law might have something to ask her, so she asked her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to accompany her.
From now on, my granddaughter will live under the care of this mother-in-law, so everyone should get to know each other in advance.
Seeing the old lady, Lu Ailan knelt down and saluted: "Grandmother-in-law! Sorry to bother you!"
"You're welcome. We're all family."
The old lady asked Lu Ailan to sit down and had tea served. After a few pleasantries, Yu and Chu Lianlian came together.
Lu Ailan liked Chu Lianlian's obedience and gentleness. Seeing her, she smiled and said, "Lian'er! It's just right that you're here. Mother has something to say."
After the engagement, although Lu Ailan had not seen Chu Lianlian for a few times, she truly loved her as her daughter. Moreover, the Chu family did not despise their son's background, and Chu Lianlian and others were waiting to marry him, which showed that they were fond of her son.
As a woman, who had suffered such a disaster, she naturally hoped that her daughter-in-law could live in harmony with her son and his wife.
Yu and Lu Ailan greeted each other, and then everyone sat down and Lu Ailan told them everything about her life.
The old lady was shocked when she heard this.
She had heard about what happened in the Chengguo Mansion in the past, but she didn't expect that the deceased wife of the Chengguo Duke would come back alive.
She also became the grandmother of her granddaughter.
After all, Yu was young and had never heard of Lu Ailan's story. After Chu Lianlian heard about it, her eyes turned slightly red.
My mother-in-law had a really hard life. She gave birth to a child and raised him all by herself, and then returned to the capital. She only said a few words about it.
No one else can understand the hardship you go through, only you know it.
Chu Xiaoxiao sat on the old lady's knees, swinging her little feet constantly.
[The fire was set by Qian Yumei. It has been so many years since the incident, and she has killed everyone who helped her. It may not be easy to investigate the case.]
old lady:"......"
Does this mean that there is no way to catch the murderer who framed your mother-in-law?
"My dear in-laws! What are you going to do? Do you want to restore your status? Go back to the Duke Cheng's Mansion?"
Lu Ailan shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No, I want to divorce Ji Fenglin and take back the dowry that belonged to me. I just don't know if my doing this will affect Lian'er."
Yu thought carefully for a moment and did not dare to speak. Instead, she looked at her daughter Chu Lianlian and then at the old lady.
Chu Lianlian spoke first: "Mother, just do whatever you want to do, don't worry about Lian'er. If I can really get my dowry back, it will be a relief for me."
The old lady nodded slightly: "Lian'er is right. Since the Chengguo Mansion has wronged you, you should take back what you should take back. We are a family of military commanders, there is no need for so many twists and turns.
I just hope that Qingsu will treat Lian'er wholeheartedly in the future, and not follow those men who have three wives and four concubines."
"Don't worry, old lady! As long as I'm here, Su'er will never do that. If I'm gone, I will leave her some instructions. Concubines have always been the ones who bring chaos to a family. Don't look at others, just look at his mother and you'll know." Lu Ailan said this sincerely.
That's what she thought in her heart. If Qian Yumei hadn't climbed into Ji Fenglin's bed and became his concubine, how could she have been so ambitious and hired someone to burn her to death?
If you want a peaceful home, you really can't have concubines.
The truth. And the truth from the heart.
"I feel relieved now that my mother-in-law said that." Yu's heart was at ease. "I chose my son-in-law because of his talent and because I hoped he would treat my daughter Lianlian well."
"I understand." Lu Ailan turned to look at Chu Lianlian, "If I also had such a beautiful daughter, I would naturally hope that she could marry someone who loves me.
After this experience, I will restrain Su'er and will not let him do anything reckless. We do not seek high positions, high salaries, or great wealth, but only hope that the young couple can live happily together until old age. However, I do not want Su'er to go back and fight for the position of the Crown Prince of Chengguo Mansion."
"Hey! It doesn't matter!" The old lady waved her hand, "The Chu family chooses a son-in-law based on his character, and nothing else matters."
Chu Lianlian herself didn't care: "I don't want to get involved in the muddy waters of the Chengguo Mansion. It's best not to fight for it. If I want to fight for it, I really have to think about it carefully. Sitting in that position, there will definitely be many unsatisfactory constraints."
"Mother is relieved when Lian'er said that." Lu Ailan was in a good mood when getting along with the Chu family. "I am waiting for good news from mother. The dowry will be returned. In the future, the three of us will live a better life."
