Luo Lingyu sobbed and fell into the arms of Mrs. Lu. While wiping her tears and pretending to be a pitiful child, she thought to herself: I must take this opportunity to eliminate the possibility of Lu Yun taking a concubine. At least in the next few years, I can't let the elders of the Lu family urge Lu Yun to take a concubine!

Madam Lu was furious: "Sanlang is so brave! Don't cry, your daughter, I will make the decision for you... Let Sanlang come over to me!"

Chapter 138

Lu Yun was resting at home when he was called by the old lady Lu. The nanny sent by the old lady Lu this time was very tough. Lu Sanlang could not find an excuse to refuse. Thinking that the marks on his face were almost invisible, he agreed to go. When he arrived at the old lady's courtyard, just after the female family members greeted him in the morning, the birds in the bird cage at the end of the corridor chirped. The wind was clear and the sun was bright in the courtyard, and the leaves of the sycamore trees were swaying. A maid saw him coming and opened the curtain from a distance.

The maids in the courtyard looked at Lu Sanlang with red faces. The man's sleeves fluttered like a crane in the mist. He was always dressed in fine clothes and jade crowns, and was spotless. Their hearts beat faster, thinking that such a man wanted to take a concubine, what a blessing it was for the women... It was the women who took advantage of Sanlang, not Sanlang who took advantage of the women. No wonder the cousin was not willing to share with the women.

The shadow of the tree by the window and the woman’s face flashed before Lu Yun’s eyes.

Lu Yun lowered his head and walked into the house. As he got closer, he could hear his wife's familiar sobbing voice: "Grandma, wuwuwu, look, this is the handkerchief that Chen Xue gave him that day. He has been keeping it close to his body, which shows how much he cherishes it. Oh, I am not against my husband taking a concubine, but how can we let a girl who plays the zither enter our family? And that girl is from the north. Isn't my husband trying to force us to death?"

Lu Yun'e's heart skipped a beat and he realized the problem.

He passed the screen and entered the inner room, where he saw several sisters-in-law and aunts surrounding the old lady. Under the old lady's seat, Luo Lingyu covered her face and cried, holding a handkerchief for everyone to see. The female relatives saw the handkerchief, and with Luo Lingyu's continuous and detailed explanation, they sighed and sympathetically advised Luo Lingyu not to be sad, and that everyone would make a decision for her.

Lu Yun: “…”

He felt something was wrong when he saw his wife crying gracefully in front of her grandmother's lap. When he looked closely, the girl covered half of her face and looked back at him. Her eyes were full of tears, dripping wetly. When Luo Lingyu saw him, more tears came out of her eyes, she sobbed, and choked up and couldn't speak.

Then she lay on the old lady's lap and cried again.

When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Yun, she was furious: "You bastard! Look at how you have bullied your delicate daughter-in-law. No matter how pretty that Chen Xue is, I don't think she can compare to Lingyu's finger! You have such a beautiful daughter-in-law at home, but you don't care about her and go out to have an affair. Is this what the Lu family taught you? Are you worthy of me and your grandfather, and your parents who passed away early? Kneel down before me!"

Lu Yun raised his eyebrows and remained calm.

Luo Lingyu shuddered when he gave her a subtle glance and cried even harder: "Wuwuwu, grandma, he glared at me..."

Lu Yun: “…”

Mrs. Lu couldn't stand it any longer: "Sanlang, how did you promise to marry Lingyu? It's only been a few months, and you're bullying her like this?"

Madam Lu: “Kneel down!”

Luo Lingyu showed Chen Xue's handkerchief to everyone. She intended to make a big deal out of it, but she was actually unsure in her heart, afraid that Lu Yun would lose his temper on the spot and not give her face. But what grounds did he have to lose his temper? If he hadn't insisted on doing it in the car before, if he hadn't forced her, she wouldn't have been almost caught. Lu Yun owed her, and he should pay her back. With this in mind, Luo Lingyu didn't dare to look back at Lu Yun. After a while, she heard the movement behind her, and she quietly stretched out her watery eyes from under the handkerchief, and saw Lu Yun lift his robe and kneel down.

Lu Yun's face was cold and pale, his eyes were dark at night, and he glanced at her again.

Luo Lingyu quickly looked away, covering her chest, and finally let go of her worry - although her brother Xuechen's reaction was not good, he was willing to sing opera with her after all.

Chen Xue's handkerchief was passed around the women in the room, and finally returned to Old Lady Lu. Old Lady Lu looked down and saw that her grandson had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so she advised him earnestly, "Sanlang, are you really having an affair with Chen Xue?"

Luo Lingyu looked at him with tears in her eyes.

Lu Yun looked at her.

Old Madam Lu: "Speak up! Why do you always stare at your wife? Sanlang, I tell you, you are not allowed to scare your daughter. If Chen Xue's painting of ladies had not come out, we would still be kept in the dark by you. How could she, a zither player, be included in the painting of ladies? Did you paint for her and make her famous? What do you expect? What is going on between you and Chen Xue? Is there a misunderstanding?"

Old Madam Lu was looking forward to it - she didn't believe that Lu Yun would get together with a zither girl. Lu Yun was so outstanding, what kind of woman did he want? Wouldn't women line up to get him? Why would he be attracted to a woman with such a poor background? In the context of Chen Xue's background as a zither girl, Luo Lingyu's background was already extremely high in comparison.

Old Madam Lu no longer looked down upon her grandson's wife because of her low birth.

In this case, the similarities between Chen Xue and Lu Saburo's faces are not that important.

Lu Yun was questioned for a long time, and after a pause, he said slowly: "There is no misunderstanding. Madam Chen Xue and I...feel deeply connected. Whenever I see her, I always feel that she should stay by my side and accompany me all the time. If it weren't for Luo Lingyu's obstruction, Chen Xue should be living in my yard now, reciting poems with me, and admiring the moon and flowers."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

She pretended to cry pitifully while she was deeply impressed by Lu Yun's shamelessness - they felt they were destined to be together? They were always together?

Lu Yun and Chen Xue?

After Lu Yun said this, Mrs. Lu became even angrier: "Nonsense!"

Lu Yun smiled slightly, his eyes filled with disgust: "Luo Lingyu, you complained to my grandmother? Aren't you afraid that I will divorce you?"

Luo Lingyu was startled and immediately cried even harder.

Mrs. Lu was displeased: "Sanlang, how can you talk to your daughter like this?"

Lu Yun disagreed: "Grandma, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. When I married Luo Lingyu, I didn't expect her to be so jealous. She quarreled with me all the time. She was a tigress... If I had known this earlier, I would not have married her. Chen Xue is better. She is beautiful, knowledgeable, knows the rules, and has similar interests to me..."
