After Lu Qingyan had eaten and drunk her fill, the old lady Lu seemed to remember something. She said happily, "My dear grandson, the master I met at the temple said that our grandson is a reincarnation of a star from heaven and will bring glory to our ancestors in the future."
Lu Qingyan almost spat out her tea; that statement was really far-fetched. Given the original owner's personality, bringing honor to the family was already incredibly lucky if she didn't cause any more trouble.
The task of bringing glory to the Lu family has actually been completed by Old Man Lu.
The Lu family was not originally a prominent family, but Old Master Lu was able to sit in this position in the turbulent court. He was no ordinary person. Wasn't that bringing glory to his ancestors?
Although that's what she thought in her heart, Lu Qingyan was happy to please the old lady: "That master has good taste."
People in temples always like to say nice things, so it seems that Old Madam Lu gave quite a lot of money for incense this time.
Upon hearing Lu Qingyan's words, Madam Lu smiled even more broadly, "I knew it, my dear grandson will definitely have a bright future."
Lu Qingyan pressed her advantage, saying, "Grandson will definitely earn an even higher imperial title for Grandmother."
Because of Lu Zhizhi, Old Madam Lu held the title of Fourth Rank Imperial Noblewoman, while Madam Lu held the title of Fifth Rank Imperial Noblewoman.
"Good, good, good, Grandmother will definitely be waiting for this day." Old Madam Lu smiled so much that her eyes were slits. In the Lu family, only "Lu Qingyun" could make her so happy. Her son, Lu Zhizhi, was not good at coaxing people, and even if his stepmother wanted to, she would never have the chance.
The stepmother, who was serving her mother-in-law, was furious. This favoritism was too much. The old lady could only have eyes for "Lu Qingyun" and no one else.
Doesn't she realize that she's carrying her grandson in her belly? How can she be inferior to that纨绔 (playboy) "Lu Qingyun"?
Old Madam Lu was an old lady who wasn't very literate and was a bit unreasonable and domineering. Because she unconditionally protected herself, Lu Qingyan actually liked this kind of unreasonable and domineering behavior. After all, the original owner had been by Old Madam Lu's side for many years and had more affection for her than others.
In Madam Lu's eyes, all the rumors outside about her grandson being arrogant, domineering, and spoiled were just that—rumors, blatant slander against her beloved grandson, and people were jealous that her grandson would have a bright future.
The stepmother was also baffled as to how Old Madam Lu could stick to this stubborn principle for ten years. Old Madam Lu had given this reason before: when her daughter-in-law gave birth to twins, she dreamed of her old man, Lu Zhizhi's father, who said that the children would be very successful. As a result, Old Madam Lu treated the two siblings like treasures and loved them even more.
Unfortunately, Lu Qingyan died later, leaving only Lu Qingyun. Old Madam Lu lamented that her eldest granddaughter was unlucky and spoiled her eldest grandson even more.
The stepmother scoffed at the idea of a dream. "Lu Qingyun" was already seventeen or eighteen years old, yet he idled away his days away, and his knowledge was not as good as his cousin Meng Yifeng, who was ten years younger than him. What great future could such a person have?
The stepmother didn't understand how much Old Madam Lu valued "Lu Qingyun". Firstly, Lu Qingyan's birth mother was related to Old Madam Lu by blood, and they were naturally quite close; secondly, the child in her womb hadn't been born yet, and everyone didn't know whether it was a boy or a girl. How could Old Madam Lu wrong her grandson, whom she had raised for over ten years, for a child that hadn't even been born yet?
