The girl in the dream was smiling and starry-eyed: "Anyway, the war is over, the two countries have negotiated. My third cousin is fine now, I'm going to go play with him. He's so happy, don't you think?"

The girl smiled and tilted her head to talk to him, and Lu Erlang stood by the corridor and nodded. Under the water bridge, the lake was green for thousands of miles, and fish jumped up from the duckweed, happily blowing bubbles.

Wandering soul Lu Erlang heard his dream self say softly: "Okay, I'll go with you."

…

But she didn't know that he accompanied her and witnessed how Lu Saburo died.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, would Cousin Luo not have been so sad, would she not have left the country, would she not have never seen him again?

The war was clearly over, so why did they see it like that? During this time, who lied, or...an accident happened?

Chapter 89

It had been raining in the courtyard. In the morning, after the rain and wind, the steps and corridors outside the door were covered with wet flower leaves. The maids were busy sweeping the leaves in the courtyard. When they looked up and heard the announcement, they saw Mrs. Lu walking past them absent-mindedly and nonchalantly, entering the house to look for the old lady.

Old Madam Lu was mourning the letter she received last night. Although adultery between men and women before marriage was common in this era, the elders would not be happy about it. In Lu Sanlang's letter, he did not mention that Luo Lingyu was pregnant with his child, but once again emphasized his determination to marry Luo Lingyu.

Lu Yun issued an ultimatum. If the Lu family did not hurry up and prepare for the marriage, he would prepare it himself. After he had settled the matter with the Fan family in Nanyang and arranged the marriage, he would let Luo Lingyu go to Nanyang. The Lu family would need at least half a year to prepare for the marriage, but Lu Yun knew that if Luo Lingyu was pregnant, she would not be able to wait for half a year. He did not tell the Lu family the truth, but just wanted to trick Luo Lingyu to Nanyang to get married. By then, the journey would be long and difficult, and there was nothing the Lu family could do if they objected.

Lu Sanlang's writing is brilliant. He quoted ancient and modern stories in the letter, and he used all kinds of allusions at will. He expressed his feelings and appealed to reason, which made sense. At least Mrs. Lu was very sad when she received the letter last night. She tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep well. She kept dreaming about the events of the year before and after the death of her youngest son and daughter-in-law.

I haven't dreamed of that couple for many years. They were not very affectionate before marriage. Mrs. Lu knew that before her son died, he wanted to take a concubine. Her daughter-in-law cried and complained to her all day, begging her to take care of it. Mrs. Lu was very upset by the couple and tried to persuade them. After ignoring them for two days, her son died in the war and her daughter-in-law also died.

No one remembers whether to take a concubine or not.

I only remember the deep love and loyalty of the Zhenbei general and his wife who bravely sacrificed themselves for the country's crisis.

However, Mrs. Lu knew.

Old Madam Lu knew it better, and Lu Yun probably knew it too. Although Lu Yun was only a few years old at that time, Lu Sanlang was extremely smart since he was young. He just didn't say or ask about many things, but that didn't mean he knew everything. It was because of this that Lu Sanlang always doubted love and marriage. He not only didn't understand his mother's weakness, he also couldn't understand his father's attitude towards love.

In the letter, Lu Yun told Mrs. Lu that if it wasn't Luo Lingyu, it would have been someone else.

If someone doesn't want to have a biological child, once he makes up his mind, how strong is that determination?

Madam Lu came in through the curtains and saw Madam Lu put away the letter in dismay. "Tell Dalang to write another letter to his father, saying that Sanlang's marriage can't be delayed. It's to Madam Luo... The weather has been cold these past two days, so think of a more tactful way to tell the cousins ​​at home. If they want to leave, don't stop them. When Sanlang gets married, let Madam San Shao worry about the socializing of the women at home."

Many girls married into the Lu family, but unfortunately, there were few girls from the direct and collateral branches. Girls' social skills are often more important than men's, and the Lu family lacks this aspect. Mrs. Lu herself is simple and doesn't like to go out. Mrs. Lu can only comfort herself that at least the daughter-in-law chosen by Sanlang has one good thing among all the bad things - Mrs. Luo is lively and likes to socialize.

Mrs. Lu listened to her mother-in-law's instructions and responded with an unpleasant face. When Mrs. Lu looked over, she complained in great sorrow: "Although Mrs. Luo's family background is not good, Sanlang at least got married. But my Erlang was ordained as a lay Buddhist, and the whole house is filled with smoke and miasma. He either worships this Buddha statue or brings that Bodhisattva home."

"I have explained to people many times that a lay Buddhist can get married and Erlang is not going to become a monk. But the families of the girls I met did not respond to me. They all suspected that Erlang might become a monk in the future even though he is a lay Buddhist now. How could Erlang be like this? Even if he becomes a lay Buddhist after getting married, who will care? He has taken the precepts now, so which girl would dare to marry him?"

Mrs. Lu was overwhelmed with grief, and sat below her mother, holding her handkerchief and wailing. Lu Xian was usually so obedient, but he had been acting like a madman for the past six months. She was horrified and her eyelids were twitching. Now it was even worse, her son was even planning to become a monk. Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and said, "What kind of Buddhist temple is this? To me, it's just misleading people, and they should all be torn down!"

"Mother, you said that our son is quite outstanding. Other sons get married at the age of 17 or 18. Why is it so difficult for our Erlang and Sanlang? It's all because I wanted to take my time in choosing. I didn't expect these two children to have such strange tastes. I must arrange a marriage for Xiao Silang as soon as possible. I can't let him repeat the fate of his two brothers."

The fourth son of the Lu family, Lu Chang, is only eight or nine years old now, which is the age for studying without worries. Although he is born to a concubine, Mrs. Lu has no other children, so she takes care of him. Moreover, the fourth son of the Lu family is well-behaved and sensible, which makes him very lucky to be with Mrs. Lu.

The old lady of the Lu family sighed, and she and her daughter-in-law had a similar opinion. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the marriages of the two men, and the old lady Lu, who was originally hesitant about Luo Lingyu, became firm. At least Lu Sanlang was still willing to marry her, and Lu Erlang's marriage was still up in the air.

After being comforted by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Lu made a decision: she would coax a girl to marry her son even if she had to. How could the elder brother be so much slower than the younger brother?

Mrs. Lu thought about it and asked someone to invite Ningping Princess Liu Tang to her home again. This little princess was very innocent and gentle, and she had saved her son Erlang. The girl was deeply in love, so it would be easier to deceive her.
