"I'm going to see my aunt. I'll come see you when my mother and brother come."
Lu Shiyuan took his little hand and said with a smile, "Great-grandfather will go with you." Then the grandfather and grandson left the room hand in hand.
Chen followed behind slowly. Nanny Zhang whispered, "Madam, how can two people in this world who are not related by blood look so similar? Especially that glaring red mole on your face."
Mrs. Chen was very confused when she saw how close the grandfather and grandson were. How could they look so similar if they were not related by blood?
Especially when he smiles, his expression is almost the same as my mother-in-law's. If you look closely, his eyes look a bit like my eldest brother's.
If she had not witnessed the burial of the child with her own eyes, she would have suspected that he was her eldest brother's posthumous child.
"Maybe that's possible. Aren't his mother and eldest brother coming over? I guess his mother also has a red mole like this on her face."
…
"Mom, does the wound still hurt?"
Lu Hangan took the maid to change the medicine for Luo Shi. Seeing that Luo Shi looked a little haggard, he felt very distressed.
Seeing Lu Hangan's worried look, Luo Shi felt very upset. "Why are you here at this hour? Go to the academy and study."
How could Lu Han have the heart to study? Because of what his mother did, his path to the imperial examination would end at the level of scholar, and he might even be deprived of the title, but he had no complaints.
"How can I study peacefully while you are suffering in prison?"
Luo took a quick look at the cell and found that all the necessary daily necessities were there.
Facing her son who looked worried about her, Luo felt extremely guilty, "Godson, mother is not suffering here."
After saying this, Mrs. Luo turned her head away from him. She had always been a gentle and loving mother in front of her children, but now she didn't know how to face him.
"Don't worry, mother. I will find a way to save you from the death penalty."
Free from the death penalty?
When she woke up last night, the Cui family gave her the news that every move of the Cui family is now related to the future of the second prince.
The timing of the incident was wrong and she became a discarded child.
"Godson, don't go begging your elder sister. I know my sins are grave and I can't ask for her forgiveness. The crime I committed is punishable by death or exile. Accepting the punishment will make me feel better. Now all I can do for you is to ensure you have a career in government."
She knew very well that Lu Yuan would not vent her anger on her godson, but after the old man passed away, her godson would not have an easy life and the Lu family might even face the possibility of division.
"Mother, I don't have any extravagant hopes for a career in government. It would be nice to be a wealthy and noble man in the future."
Mrs. Luo shook her head. "The best plan for now is for you to be adopted by the Cui family. You will then be a member of the Cui family and your career path will not be hindered."
"What about Brother Kun?"
"Mother can only take care of you."
"Grandfather wouldn't agree."
Lu Hangan did not approve of this approach. As a descendant of the Lu family, how could he forget his roots for a career that he was not passionate about?
"Your grandfather would agree. Only by pursuing a career in government can you have a good future."
Lu Han knew that his mother was plotting for him. Six years ago, his mother and fourth aunt murdered eldest aunt for him and brother Kun.
But it was because Mother and Fourth Aunt never asked them about their true thoughts that the disaster occurred.
"Mom, I know you and Fourth Aunt are planning for my brother and me, but everything you planned for us is not what we want."
Luo's heart tightened, "Are you blaming mother?"
"I've never blamed you, but I just don't want to go down this path this time." Lu Han reached out and touched Luo's hand. "Mom, please believe me. I will live a happy life."
Luo looked at his determined eyes, and for a moment she felt as if she had really done something wrong?
But she felt very sad. She could not bear that her son was just a rich and powerful man with no power.
"Okay, I believe you. I want to see your father, so please call him over."
Let his father talk to him about this, maybe he will change his mind.
"Okay, I'll go back home and ask Dad to come over."
When Lu Hangan left, he carefully examined her wounds again before following Lu Hankun out of the cell...
"Ayu."
"Ayuan, you're awake. Do you feel any discomfort?" Si Chuyu reached out and touched her forehead, breathing a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan glanced out the window. It was already daybreak. "Why did I sleep so long?"
"You fell asleep after returning from the ancestral tomb last night and developed a high fever in the middle of the night."
Only then did Lu Yuan notice the dark circles under his eyes and said with deep guilt, "Ayu, I promise to listen to you from now on. I'll take good care of myself and not run around."
Si Chuyu passed the matsutake and shredded chicken porridge to her mouth, "Then drink the porridge first."
"good."
Lu Yuan drank two mouthfuls of porridge and put down the spoon. "Second Aunt, has the government announced the verdict for Fourth Aunt?"
Si Chuyu said: "He hasn't been brought to trial yet."
Lu Yuan's anger flared up upon hearing this. "Why are the Cui family still dragging their feet and not letting us go to court?"
The fever had not yet completely subsided, and Lu Yuan suddenly felt a splitting headache as his qi and blood surged up.
"Ayuan, don't worry. They will be brought to trial today, and the verdict will be out before dinner at the latest. We will go back to Xishui County to see our godson the day after tomorrow." Si Chuyu pressed her temple to comfort her.
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuan's anger instantly dissipated. "After lunch, we will go to the provincial government office."
Si Chuyu was very concerned about her health and didn't want her to go, but since this matter couldn't be resolved, she couldn't rest assured to recuperate, so he had to agree to her.
"Okay, we'll go there at noon."
At the same time, at the Lu family villa.
"Nephew, why can't I wipe this off?" Lu Yao squatted in front of Su Ningjie and touched the red mole on his face. "I remember it wasn't here last time. Where did this come from? Could it be a mosquito bite?"
Su Ningjie: “…”
