The little child was frightened by him and couldn't understand what was going on.
He couldn't understand why he had a brother-in-law before and another brother-in-law now. Which of these two brothers-in-law was the real one?
His big eyes were filled with confusion, and he turned to look at Lu Jinyue questioningly.
Not only Lu Xiuyuan was confused, but even Lu's mother and father were extremely confused.
Didn’t he say that his daughter was taken into the palace by the emperor?
But now my daughter doesn’t look like she’s angry or sad. Instead, there’s an indescribable sense of incongruity when these two people stand together?
They hadn't reacted just now, but now they finally realized it.
These two people don’t look like enemies, but rather have a sweet feeling that only newlyweds have!
Huge waves of shock rose in the hearts of Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
Could it be that something really happened that they didn't know about?
As if noticing her family's doubts, Lu Jinyue coughed lightly a few times to hide her embarrassment.
"Well, let's go inside and talk. Dad and Mom, are you just going to let the emperor stand here?" Lu Jinyue said as she glanced at Shen Yunxiao quickly, then quickly looked away, like a thief.
Shen Yunxiao was amused by her little action, and the corners of his lips curled up, which made Lu Jinyue even more embarrassed.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please come this way." Father Lu reacted quickly and made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Jinyue held Lu Xiuyuan and followed behind him. Lu Xiuyuan's face was full of questions but he couldn't get an answer. He looked at Shen Yunxiao and then at Lu Jinyue.
"Sister, why do you have two brothers-in-law?" Lu Xiuyuan couldn't hold back and asked in what he thought was a small voice.
In fact, everyone heard what was said. Father Lu's back stiffened instantly and he walked with his hands and feet trembling.
Mother Lu twisted her foot and almost fell.
Lu Jinyue was suddenly choked by his own saliva and coughed so hard that he could hardly hold the person. It was Lu's mother who carried him over.
"Xiuyuan, be good. I'll tell you about this when I have the chance. Just remember that the emperor is not a bad person. He didn't kill your grandmother. OK?" Lu Jinyue touched his furry little head and explained softly and patiently.
"Then, did my brother-in-law lie to me?" Lu Xiuyuan began to feel uneasy. He felt like something in his heart was collapsing.
"Yes. Sister won't lie to you." Lu Jinyue said with a smile. Then whatever Sister said was what it was.
Lu Xiuyuan didn't intend to dwell on it anymore, his attention was attracted by Shen Yunxiao again.
"Are Madam Lu and Xiuyuan feeling better?" Shen Yunxiao put down his cup and looked at Lu Xiuyuan.
"In reply to the emperor, my wife and I are in good health now. Thank you for your care over the past few days." Mother Lu calmed herself down and replied.
When Lu Xiuyuan heard his name, he looked at him, his big eyes full of confusion. Since the man in front of him was not a bad person, he could no longer be angry with him.
After hearing this, Father Lu picked up Lu Xiuyuan and placed him on the ground, teaching him to properly salute Shen Yunxiao again.
Although Lu Xiuyuan was only four years old, he was very polite at such a young age. After his father taught him this, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Yunxiao seriously.
The etiquette is impeccable.
"Your Majesty, my mother and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Could you allow me to have a few private words with her?" Lu Jinyue stood up and went over to refill his tea.
In fact, she leaned in front of him and whispered, "If you don't agree, then I will squeeze into the same bed with Baozhen! Also, don't scare the child, you are an adult."
Shen Yunxiao raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at her meaningfully.
After a while, he said, "I agree, go ahead."
Only then did Lu Jinyue bow with satisfaction and followed her mother into the boudoir before her wedding.
Mother Lu felt like she was dreaming at this moment, as she actually saw her daughter whom she had not seen for a long time.
As soon as she closed the door, Mother Lu couldn't help but hug Lu Jinyue and burst into tears, as if she wanted to cry out all the panic and sadness she had experienced during this period of time.
Lu Jinyue was infected by her, her eyes also turned red and she started to cry.
Perhaps she had cried enough, so Mother Lu stopped crying. Lu Jinyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief and comforted her softly.
"Jin Yue, tell your mother honestly, are you living well in the palace? Are the Emperor Chen Yun treating you well? Has he ever beaten you?" Mother Lu glanced at the silhouette on the window and changed her mind midway.
The palace maid followed Lu Jinyue closely, so she didn't dare to speak too loudly.
Mother Lu asked a series of questions, and Lu Jinyue didn't know which one to answer first. Seeing that she was wary of Baozhen, she also lowered her voice.
"Don't worry, mother. The emperor treats me very well. He has never hit me." Lu Jinyue pinched the handkerchief and lowered her head, not daring to look into her mother's eyes.
"That's good." Mother Lu nodded with relief, then she remembered something and grabbed her wrist again, her tone becoming stern. "If my son-in-law hadn't come to tip us off that night, we would have died at the hands of Emperor Shen! Now that he's locked us up in the Lu Mansion, is he using us to threaten you?"
Lu Jinyue frowned slightly after hearing this. Couldn't her mother see such an obvious trap?
"Mother, there must be a misunderstanding!" She stood up, her hands behind her back, "The Emperor didn't threaten me with you. Ye Zhixing and I have nothing to do with each other in this life. I've been walking on thin ice in the palace, but fortunately, I have won the favor of the Emperor. Don't misunderstand him. The assassination that night must have been done by Shen Yunheng, just to gain your trust. If he had saved you at the critical moment of life and death, the people would only praise him for his kindness and righteousness."
Mother Lu paused in wiping her tears, as if she didn't understand what she said.
When Ye Zhixing rushed here overnight, not only was he in a mess, but his hatred for the current emperor was not fake.
"Daughter, let me ask you, was it the emperor who asked him for you? What about you? What did you think at the time?" Mother Lu asked back.
"Mom, did I have a choice at that time?" Lu Jinyue looked straight at Mother Lu in front of her, her hands on the table slowly tightened, and she once again recalled the moment when she was abandoned.
"What's more, for the sake of his family's survival, he took the initiative to persuade me the moment the emperor opened his mouth. He said that as long as I followed the emperor, everyone would be safe. He was the one who gave up on me first!"
"If he truly loved me, he should have fought the Emperor to the end. Even if it meant dying together, he would have preserved our friendship! But he was so flattering and despicable, he actively persuaded me to follow the Emperor. When I disagreed, he even slapped me in the face. Mother, I feel sick just thinking about people like him!"
As Lu Jinyue said this, tears fell from her eyes. The sadness in her eyes made her mother feel heartbroken.
"Mother, I nearly died several times in the palace! Fortunately, the emperor had mercy on me, otherwise, as the wife of a guilty minister, I would have died without regret. Ye Zhixing and I have long since broken off our relationship. If we meet again in the future, we will fight to the death."
