Old Madam Lu is too old to be easily upset. If Lu Qingyan really dares to say such things and causes Old Madam Lu to suffer a serious injury, it would be her own fault.
Old Man Lu was in his prime, and Lu Qingyan felt no guilt whatsoever about what she had said to him.
"I'm full, I'm going out to play now." Lu Qingyan threw down her chopsticks and ran away. She didn't want either the imperial examination or marriage, being a girl.
"You little brat, stop right there!" Lu Zhizhi said angrily.
Old Madam Lu snapped at her son, "Sit down! We haven't finished discussing the selection of a granddaughter-in-law yet, where are you in such a hurry?"
Lu Qingyan had been idle at the Lu residence these past few days, so she secretly used the spiritual spring water to help the old lady recuperate.
In Lu Zhizhi's view, it was because Lu Qingyan had been too leisurely and lacked ambition lately.
As Madam Lu's health improved and her energy increased, she even spent more time choosing a wife for Lu Qingyan than usual.
Before long, Madam Lu actually found a suitable one.
Before Old Madam Lu could even send a matchmaker to propose marriage, the Lu family was thrown into chaos.
On this day, a scream pierced the sky: "Oh no! Oh no! The young master has run away from home!"
Pingfu heard the news and thought with a bitter face, "Young Master is really something, leaving without taking me with him. How dangerous it is for him to be out there alone! I must go out and find Young Master!"
Pingfu made up his mind, but didn't know where to look, so he could only stay in the mansion listlessly.
"Dad, Grandma, I'm off to roam the world freely, don't worry about me."
Upon seeing this sentence on the blank paper, Lu Zhizhi was furious. Old Madam Lu cried out, "My eldest grandson!" and then fainted.
"Quickly, please invite Doctor Ma over," Lu Zhizhi said hastily, supporting Old Madam Lu. Unexpectedly, Old Madam Lu woke up again, patting him and crying, "It's all your fault! Why did you force him to study and take the imperial examinations? You've driven him away!"
The Lu residence was in chaos. Some people were trying to appease Old Madam Lu, others were serving tea to calm the master down, and still others were going to fetch a doctor.
Lu Zhizhi felt wronged when he heard the old lady's accusation. He couldn't very well tell his mother: "Mother, that boy ran away because of the wife you found for 'him'."
Lu Zhizhi was certain that if he said that, he would not get any credit. Perhaps Old Madam Lu would hold him responsible and say that he, as the father, had not raised his son well.
The mansion was in chaos. Doctor Ma arrived quickly and, after examining Lu Zhizhi, told him that the old lady was in good health and there was nothing wrong. Just as he was about to take his leave, he heard someone from the main courtyard say that the lady was about to give birth.
Wow, this is great news!
Lu Zhizhi was immediately happy. Although his relationship with his stepmother was not as good as that with his first wife, he still respected her and was looking forward to the child in her belly.
"Let's go, let's go and take a look," Lu Zhizhi said, not forgetting to pull Old Madam Lu along.
Old Madam Lu also went over. Several hours later, the stepmother gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, which made the Lu family extremely happy. Old Madam Lu also gave the stepmother a rare kind of smile. However, she did not forget to tell Lu Zhizhi to find Lu Qingyan as soon as possible, so that he would not forget his "eldest son" after having a younger son and a daughter.
By this time, Lu Qingyan was already nearly a hundred miles away from Yunzhou, and she was riding her horse slowly and leisurely.
