She must have been out of her mind back then.
That's why they would consider Emperor Yuanwu's favor as more important than their family or even themselves.
Looking back now, it's truly laughable.
The general's mansion remained the same, except that red lanterns were hung at the entrance to welcome her arrival.
Consort Shu stared at the scene before her, tears streaming down her face.
"Don't cry, little girl. Let your mother see you properly. It's been so long since your mother last saw you."
Madam Lu told Consort Shu not to cry.
She cried even more bitterly than Consort Shu, and her last few words were choked up and indistinct.
Consort Shu felt increasingly guilty towards her family. She nestled in Madam Lu's arms and cried her heart out, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had accumulated over the years.
"Mother, it is your unfilial son who has failed to take good care of you and has even implicated the General's Mansion." Consort Shu cried uncontrollably.
"My child, do you know how heartbroken I was when I found out you were punished by the Emperor?" Madam Lu said with resentment, but her heart was full of heartache. "No matter what happens in the future, you must protect yourself first. Don't plead for me, your father, or your brother."
The thought of my daughter being confined to her home during her pregnancy and childbirth, and not receiving proper care, breaks my heart.
Even his own granddaughter was almost framed.
According to the parents.
What can wealth and glory compare to the safety of a child?
Consort Shu cried so hard she couldn't speak.
Even at a time like this, her mother not only didn't blame her, but also told her to mind her own business. She had resented her mother in the past.
She truly feels that every tear she sheds now is a result of her being out of her mind back then.
General Lu, who usually appears cold and indifferent, was also moved to tears by the mother and daughter's weeping.
"Let's talk about it at home."
Home!
Upon hearing this word.
Consort Shu choked up again.
Madam Lu then stood up from the ground with a start: "Yes, yes, let's talk at home. Your father has already had a table full of your favorite dishes prepared. Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Consort Shu cried until her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted the moment she stood up.
Fortunately, her second brother, Lu Zhaofeng, reached out and pulled her back.
Consort Shu knew that her return this time was not easy.
It was obtained by his own brother who risked his life on the battlefield.
She couldn't help but bow deeply to Lu Zhaofeng: "Brother."
Lu Zhaofeng's eyes flickered: "Sister, what are you doing?"
"It was all because I was ignorant before, causing you a lot of trouble. Please don't blame me. If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to go home in this lifetime." Consort Shu wiped away her tears guiltily.
"What are you saying, little sister? I'm your brother. If I don't love you, who will?"
Lu Zhaofeng shrugged casually and turned his head to the side.
He didn't want his sister to see the tears welling up in his eyes.
Hearing Lu Zhaofeng's words, Consort Shu's tears, which she had just stopped, fell again.
She cried even more bitterly than before.
Lu Zhaofeng: ...
He dared not look at Consort Shu any longer, afraid that he would also burst into tears along with his sister.
There were many servants and neighbors standing at the entrance to watch the spectacle.
He couldn't possibly shed tears in front of those people.
Otherwise, how can he demonstrate his general's demeanor in the future?
Lu Zhaofeng turned around and saw the baby in Consort Shu's arms.
Mu Qianqian's gaze also happened to fall on him.
Lu Zhaofeng was taken aback: "This... is Qianqian, right?"
Consort Shu nodded and handed Mu Qianqian towards Lu Zhaofeng: "Quickly, let your uncle take a look."
