Lu Zilian is the daughter of Duke Dingguo Lu Minghan and his only child. Lu Minghan was poisoned since childhood. Fortunately, the imperial physician was very skilled and saved his life, but his body was also injured.
After growing up and getting married, they were unable to have a child. A few years after marriage, after being treated by the imperial physician, Cui finally became pregnant. She had hoped to have a boy, but fate played a trick on her and she ended up giving birth to a daughter, Lu Zilian.
Later, Lu Minghan and Cui thought that since they could give birth to a daughter, they would definitely be able to give birth to a son. However, things did not go as they wished. After wasting years, Cui was never able to get pregnant again. As for the matter of offspring, Lu Minghan and his wife no longer had any illusions after trying for a few years. They thought they would be satisfied with having a daughter. After all, Lu Minghan was deeply poisoned in his childhood. Although his life was saved, his foundation was ultimately damaged. Therefore, Lu Minghan needed to take medicine from time to time in recent years, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.
Of course, the Empress Dowager and Princess Jing were also very worried about their offspring, but sometimes it is like this, just when everyone has given up hope, Lu Zifeng appears, and with the help of Lu Zifeng, they finally find their long-lost brother. This makes Lu Minghan, the Empress Dowager and their two siblings very excited. Now at least the Lu family's bloodline will not be broken.
Of course, the Lu Minghong family, who are very precious in the eyes of old man Lu Lanqing, are nothing in the eyes of Lu Minghan and his three siblings. They don’t regard them as their own family at all. In their eyes, they are all the sons of their enemies.
Lu Zilian first paid her respects to Lu Mingyuan, which was a kowtow. Lu Mingyuan was Lu Zilian's second uncle and the biological father of her younger brothers.
Lu Zifeng also brought his two younger brothers to pay their respects to Lu Zilian, and the family finally completed the greetings.
Lu Zifeng discovered that his sister actually looked very similar to his aunt, especially the nose. The rest of her body was very similar to that of the Lu family, such as her eyes and mouth, which was actually very similar to Lu Zifeng.
Early the next morning, Lu Minghan went to court. After having breakfast, Lu Mingyuan and his family paid their respects to the old lady and then prepared to go to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion to take a look. That would be their home in the future, and Lu Mingyuan was still a little excited.
He has loved reading since he was a child, but the conditions at the time did not allow it. Although he studied, he was ultimately unable to pass the imperial examinations. However, he never imagined that he would have such a background and eventually got such a title because of his sister.
As soon as the family walked out of the house, they met Lu Lancheng and his wife who had returned to the Lu residence yesterday.
Yesterday, the old couple Lu Lancheng appeared in front of all the officials and noble families in the capital. They all knew that Lu Lancheng and Lu Lanqing were actually cousins with the same grandfather, and they were also Lu Mingyuan's adoptive parents. People in the capital were very surprised by this. What kind of fate must they have? The lost child was still alive and well in the family. This incident also gave people in the capital more topics to talk about after dinner.
"Dad, Mom, let's go. We're just about to go take a look at our son's mansion. We'll be living there from now on. Let's go over and see if there's anything that needs to be packed. Once it's packed, we can move in."
Lu Lancheng waved his hand.
"Second brother, Dad and your mother thought about it last night. From now on, your mother and I will live in the current courtyard. However, we hope that the servants can be left to us."
When Lu Mingyuan heard Lu Lancheng say this, he immediately became anxious and said hurriedly.
"Dad, Mom, how could this be? You are my parents, how can I, as a son, not take care of you? If you don't live with me, what will I do if something happens and I'm not around? Besides, my eldest brother is far away in Luzhou Prefecture, and here in the capital, I'm your only son by your side."
In fact, Lu Zifeng could guess a little about Lu Lancheng's thoughts, but this matter really couldn't go as the old man wanted.
"Grandpa, if you really want to do this for my parents' good, you can't live there alone. Otherwise, people who don't know the situation will say that my parents are unfilial, don't you think?"
Lu Zifeng's words were indeed harsh, but they were also the truth. Others would not think whether the two old people were willing to live in the small house. They would only say that Lu Mingyuan was rich now and was unwilling to serve his adoptive parents.
Lu Lancheng was startled by Lu Zifeng's words, but after thinking about it, he understood. He didn't say anything more and nodded.
"Alright, I'll live with you in the Marquis' Mansion from now on. But, Second Brother! I want to meet your biological father. After all, he's my cousin, and I want to talk to him. Of course, I'm not here to laugh at him, but there's something I can't figure out, so I want to talk to him."
To be honest, Lu Mingyuan had some fantasies about his so-called father before he came to Beijing last year. However, he was really shocked after arriving in Beijing. After visiting him that day, he never went there again. Now that he heard that his father wanted to see him, Lu Mingyuan was still a little resistant. But now that his father said so, he might as well take some time to take him to see him!
"Okay, Dad, but it looks like we'll have to wait a few days. You know, after we went to see the house today, I still need to see if there's anything else that needs repairing. You also know that Feng'er will be on duty starting tomorrow, so I'll have to worry about the mansion's affairs. Yan'er and Mo'er still need to go to school."
Lu Lancheng nodded. "Yeah, I know. He's there anyway. It doesn't matter if he comes a few days earlier or later."
The carriage stopped at the gate of Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion. Lu Zifeng took a look and found that the gatehouses of this mansion were similar to those of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but because of their different levels, the decorations on the gatehouses were slightly different.
The three Lu Zifeng brothers got off their horses and threw the reins to Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong. At this time, Lu Mingyuan and Tan Yunniang had also helped the old couple Lu Lancheng get off the carriage.
Perhaps hearing the noise, a middle-aged man in his forties ran out from the side door. He walked straight to Lu Mingyuan and knelt down.
"This old servant Lu Lin greets the Marquis and Madam, greets the old master and the old lady, and greets the three young masters and young ladies."
Lu Mingyuan reached out and helped Lu Lindao up.
"Who are you……?"
Lu Lin said hurriedly.
"My Lord, I was sent by the Empress to serve your family. I am your steward in the mansion."
Hearing Lu Lin say this, Lu Mingyuan understood that his elder sister was worried that he had just arrived in Beijing and didn't understand everything, so she sent him a housekeeper to assist him.
