Chapter 121 Howling
"Ah?" Hu Xin'er was a little confused. She imagined so many house fights and evil mother-in-law scenes!
Why is the plot development completely different from what she imagined?
Mother Lu was really happy. She just hoped that her son would be safe.
It doesn’t matter whether the daughter-in-law has a family background or not. What matters is that she is smart, capable and has good character.
Of course, the most important thing is that her arrogant son is willing to marry her.
In ancient times, Lu Yunjue was considered quite old at this age, especially after he rejected many noble ladies in the capital, which caused a lot of rumors.
There are all kinds of opinions. Some say that Lu Yunjue will become a monk in the future and be indifferent to fame and fortune.
Some said he was a homosexual, and the story was quite convincing.
Just at this moment, a spoiled and willful princess appeared.
Anyone who dared to compete with her for a man was taught a lesson.
Just because Lu Yunjue is unmarried, so many troubles have arisen.
Most of the minor troubles that the Lu family had encountered in recent years were caused by their overly outstanding son.
Before Lu Yunjue got into trouble, the Lu family had already been planning his marriage.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the bad news, Lu's mother fell ill and has been in tears for several days.
Now that my son is back home, I am also blessed with a daughter-in-law!
Now that I have a daughter-in-law, is a grandchild still far away?
Now that they have a daughter-in-law, would other noble ladies in the capital still dare to cause trouble because of peach blossom debts?
Moreover, the most troublesome princess seems to have a very good relationship with her daughter-in-law!
Mother Lu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
She stayed in the Dali Temple for the entire afternoon. While Mu Qing went to interrogate her, she chatted with Hu Xiner about family matters.
Now that I have recognized Lu's mother, I naturally have to go back to the Lu family.
On the way home, she was still reluctant to ride in a sedan chair, and invited everyone she met to her wedding banquet.
Mu Qing persuaded her again and again before she reluctantly got on the carriage and ordered all the servants around her to inform her good friends in the capital of the good news.
When we arrived at the Lu family's house, it was indeed magnificent. Compared with the Lu family's mansion, the landlord Luo family looked like an earthen fortress.
Although the palace is also very magnificent, the Lu family is unique in its elegance and refinement.
"The young master is back, the eldest young master is back!"
You can hear the noise of people from afar.
It turned out that they saw Lu Yunjue coming back, so all the servants in the mansion came out to see and congratulate Lu's mother.
Mother Lu was helped out of the carriage and walked inside with Hu Xiner.
Mu Qing looked around and asked, "Why can't I see my father?"
The yard was bustling with activity, but suddenly it became silent.
Mother Lu's expression changed: "You just came back and don't know these things. Let's go in and talk."
She pulled Mu Qing and Hu Xiner into the house, closed the door, and then sighed deeply.
"Your father passed away three years ago." When she mentioned this, tears welled up in her eyes and she patted Mu Qing's hand.
"You don't even remember this incident. It seems you are seriously injured."
Mu Qing hadn't expected this outcome. No wonder he held such a high position and was so highly regarded. It turned out he was the only son of the previous prime minister.
No wonder the emperor chose him to support the prince instead of his father.
These things are common sense. When the eldest princess talked to Erdong, she was afraid to mention his sad stories, and it was not appropriate to talk about other people's elders.
That's why I always glossed over it, which led to his misunderstanding.
Seeing that Mother Lu was sad, Hu Xin'er comforted her, "Mrs. Lu, you've worked so hard. Now that Lu Yunjue is back, things will get better and better."
"Yes, his spirit in heaven must be very happy to know that my son has returned safely." Mother Lu was also very pleased to see Hu Xiner being so considerate.
The more she looked at Hu Xin'er, the more she liked her.
This afternoon, she also saw how Mu Qing treated his wife. If Hu Xin'er had not been gentle and sensible, her son might have been persuaded to make a big mistake.
However, it is precisely because Hu Xiner has many advantages that Lu Yunjue fell in love with her and unconditionally doted on and tolerated her.
The two settled down at the Lu Mansion and had a sumptuous dinner.
"Come, this eight-treasure duck is crispy and soft, it's extremely delicious!" Mother Lu was afraid that she was not used to it, so she kept picking up dishes for Hu Xiner.
"Thank you, Mrs. Lu." Hu Xin'er felt a little embarrassed.
"Xin'er, judging by your accent, you sound like you're from Quanzhou?" Mother Lu asked gently. "Do you prefer sweet or salty food?"
How could Hu Xin'er not hear that she was implicitly asking about her own life experience?
This afternoon, after hearing that Hu Xiner's background was not good and she was a girl from the village, Lu's mother did not ask any more questions, so as not to expose Hu Xiner's scars in front of the eldest princess.
Now that everyone at the table was her own family and the atmosphere was just right, she asked.
Hu Xiner didn't intend to hide it either. A family should understand and trust each other to avoid any trouble in the future.
What's more, the people in her family are really troublesome.
Of course, this is also because Mother Lu and Mu Qing gave her a full sense of security.
They have no prejudice against family background.
A woman's status and dignity in her new home are largely given by her mother-in-law and husband.
She answered honestly, "I'm from Shuangxi Village in Quanzhou. There are four of us in my family, but I've cut off all ties with my parents and their families."
"Why is that?" Mother Lu paused her chopsticks.
This era values parental clan relationships, and those who cut off clan ties are considered disloyal and unfilial.
Hu Xiner answered all the stories about how she had been abused, framed and drowned in the pond, which made Mother Lu feel distressed.
"Poor child." She touched Hu Xin'er's hand, felt the remaining scars and calluses on it, and almost shed tears.
She, the destined daughter-in-law, had actually suffered torture for so many years in a place like the Hu family!
"It's nothing, actually." Hu Xin'er consoled her. "Those things are in the past, and I'm no longer affected by them."
"You are a good child, but they..." When Mother Lu learned that Hu Xin'er also had business skills, she couldn't help but like her even more and hated the Hu family even more.
She closed her eyes and shook her head, trying not to lose her composure in front of her daughter-in-law. "If it weren't for your reputation, I would have sent someone over to teach those people a lesson!"
"Thank you, ma'am." Hu Xin'er was a little touched. She could see that Mother Lu really treated her as her own daughter-in-law.
"Silly child, why don't you call me mother?" Mother Lu patted her hands. "Since you have married Lu Yunjue, this will be your home from now on."
Mother Lu's gentle and warm manner, like a spring breeze, made the usually strong Hu Xin'er burst into tears, but she didn't want to be seen, so she had to bury her head in her meal.
Mu Qing suddenly coughed and said that the food was too spicy. He squeezed out two tears and came to Hu Xiner's rescue.
The mother and son were so kind to each other that Hu Xiner couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears while holding her bowl.
