Simeng really wanted to see the Su family as soon as possible. "Yuan'er, tomorrow you tell Madam Su that I'm unwell and invite her to come into the house to take my pulse. Your second brother and sister-in-law also want her to take care of their health. Inviting the Su family into the house under the pretext of a consultation is safer for the Su family."
Si Meng thought that the Meng family's current rival was the Cui family, and the Cui family had spies everywhere. She was afraid that this matter would also involve the Cui family, so she did this to cover up her tracks.
The Su family is weak, and it is not a good idea for them to face the Cui family.
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Mother is so thoughtful. I was just wondering what to do for the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. It just so happens that we can have lunch with the Su family at noon tomorrow, and then the Su family can come back to the Lu Mansion to have dinner and enjoy the moon in the evening. What do you think?"
Simeng thought for a moment and said, "Then why don't you two stay here tonight? It's like you can enjoy the moon in advance."
Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, "I'll follow mother's arrangements."
Simeng said, "Well, let's go sit in the pavilion now."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to the yard and chatted for a while. Lu Yuan thought of Meng Yunqian and said, "We met Young Master Yunqian on the street when we came back. If it weren't for Brother Jie'er's help, I'm afraid..."
Simeng frowned, "Did this kid get into trouble again and get caught by Brother Jie?"
Lu Yuan nodded. "Yunqian was parading with the Luo family kid who was at my grandfather's birthday party that day, forcing the Su family to buy the mask they had bought first. I don't want to make malicious assumptions about this Luo family kid, but he acted today to deliberately mislead the public into thinking that the Meng family had raised a dandy young master, and to smear the Meng family..."
Lu Yuan carefully explained to Si Meng how Su Ningjie handled the situation, cleverly resolving the crisis of damage to the Meng family's reputation.
Upon hearing this, Si Meng was furious. How could her Meng family give birth to such a confused child? She quickly arranged for someone to send a message to the mistress of the Meng family.
"This child has to be raised in my sister-in-law's room, otherwise something bad will happen."
"Alas." Simeng sighed, "Yunqian's mother was originally a lady from a famous family with a good family tradition. If she had been around, I don't think the child would be like this today. It's all because of his father's indulgence."
"Yunqian's mother also had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to him?" Lu Yuan didn't know much about the Meng family. She had been busy taking care of herself all those years and had no time to pay attention to other things.
"The child hasn't even been born yet. I wonder what Xiao Song was thinking? She insisted on going to burn incense and worship Buddha that day, but an accident happened on the way. The child was born prematurely. It was said that the situation was very dangerous and only one could be saved. Xiao Song fought hard to save the child. Meng Zilu doted on the child because of this. They have a good relationship. Zilu has never thought about remarrying. If he had a good stepmother to teach Yunqian, he wouldn't be like this today."
Lu Yuan felt a little panic when he heard this, but soon returned to normal.
There's nothing to be afraid of. To become a mother, you must go through this stage.
Simeng reached out and patted her, "Don't be afraid, your mother and your sister-in-law have experience. When you get pregnant, we'll be by your side, so nothing will happen."
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law." Yu Meishi smiled and said, "It will be a little painful to give birth to your first child, but it won't be so painful with the second one. When the children surround you and call you "Mom", you will feel it is worth it."

"Mom, this quilt smells good, as if it's been dried in the sun." Xiao Xier took a bath and crawled into the bed to sniff the quilt covering her body.
Xiao Lingyu placed the vase of flowers in his hand back to the window. "The servants in your second brother's house are not only meticulous in their work, but also skilled in flower arrangement, gardening, perfumery, and other skills."
"Also, the food cooked by the cook is as good as those in the other courtyards, but it's still not as good as mother's cooking."
Xiao Lingyu pinched her little face and said, "You are just sweet-talking and trying to make your mother happy."
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. Your cooking skills are just amazing. No one can catch up with you."
"What about your father?"
Xiao Xier said casually: "Daddy's cooking is delicious, but it's still a little bit worse than Mommy's."
"You are blindly worshipping your mother. You must remember that you are the best. You are unique in this world. No one can compare to you."
"Mom is right. My brothers are no match for me. Only I can sleep with Mom in my arms..."
"Xiao Yu, have you and your daughter gone to bed?" Su Xingyi's voice came from outside the door.
"Not yet. Come in."
"Dad, why haven't you rested yet?"
Su Xingyi walked to the bedside and scratched Xiao Xier's nose lovingly. "It's still early, Daddy can't sleep. I just saw your Uncle Zhu Xu and Uncle Yan Wei in the front yard. They have something to tell your mother. Do you want to lie down in bed and wait for your mother to come back and hold you to sleep?"
Ever since Zhu Xu and Yan Wei appeared, Xiao Xier judged from the smell on them that they were more powerful than Su Yun and Su Ying.
Their mother had to ask them to do a lot of things. She didn't bring them and their siblings with her when she went to Wuling County, but instead came to Huayang County this time. She had a feeling that her parents were hiding a secret that she must not know.
"Then go quickly. They may have something important to tell mother. I will stay in bed obediently, but you must come back early."
"Okay, mother will come back soon to accompany you."
When Xiao Xier saw the door was closed, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed and followed.
Xiao Lingyu walked a hundred meters away with Su Xingyi, sniffed, and turned around to look.
Xiao Xier quickly hid behind the osmanthus tree next to her, her heart pounding with fear.
Mother is so amazing that she almost discovered her.
Xiao Lingyu's eyes quickly locked onto an osmanthus tree not far away.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyu?"
Xiao Lingyu pointed at the osmanthus tree and signaled with his eyes that he had a "little tail" following him.
