Chapter 6: The Confused Dad
"Even you can think of something, but your confused father doesn't understand it." The old lady looked at Lu Xiang and couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that your mother is unlucky. If she were still here, there wouldn't be these bad things in this mansion. Don't worry, Xiangxiang, grandma won't let you suffer any injustice."
When Lu Xiang thought of his own mother, his heart ached slightly.
If her mother were still alive, Liu would not have been taken back to the Lu Mansion. Would she not have died so miserably in her previous life?
The atmosphere suddenly became a little quiet, and Mother Wen smiled and said, "Miss San has you, the old lady, to protect her, so her life will only be smoother. How could she feel wronged?"
"Yes, Mother Wen is right. Grandma, you must take good care of your health. Your granddaughter is counting on you for the rest of her life." Lu Xiang said with a smile.
The old lady was delighted when she heard this. She quickly put aside the unpleasant things and continued to feed her granddaughter: "Okay, okay, grandma must take care of yourself so that you can find a good son-in-law for my Xiangxiang."
"Grandma, I'm only fourteen."
With the shadow of her past life, Lu Xiang couldn't help but tremble all over when she thought about having a husband. Who knew if her son-in-law would turn out to be a deadly monster in the end.
Thank you very much...
The old lady thought she was shy and gave her a knowing smile.
The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly. After thinking about it, she didn't explain and lowered her head to continue eating. Anyway, with her grandmother's love for her, she would not force her to marry someone she didn't want to marry.
"In half a month it will be your mother's death anniversary. I plan to go to Hua'an Temple tomorrow to ask Master Xuankong to perform a ritual for her, and pray for your aunt at the same time. I hope she will have a smooth life in the palace. You can rest and recuperate in the mansion. If your father wants to come to see you, don't see him. Just say it was my idea. If you have anything to do, wait for grandma to come back. Don't act on impulse."
The old lady was afraid that her son would come and pick trouble with Lu Xiang as soon as she left.
Lu Xiang was stunned and couldn't help but think of this time in his previous life.
When Lu Mingzhu learned that her grandmother was going to Hua'an Temple, she urged her grandmother to take them with her. At that time, she wanted Liu and Lu Mingzhu to get the grandmother's approval. In addition, Lu Mingzhu's "life-saving grace" of cutting her own flesh made her willing to do whatever she asked. Although her grandmother was reluctant, she finally agreed for her sake.
Who knew that this trip to Hua'an Temple was a huge trap set by Lu Mingzhu for her.
Lu Xiang's dark eyes rolled around and he said, "Grandma, can I go with you tomorrow? We can stay for two more days. The temple is quiet and peaceful, which will help me recover."
"Hmm?" The old lady looked at Lu Xiang in surprise. Although she was very happy that her granddaughter could accompany her, looking at Lu Xiang's expression, it was obvious that she had some purpose: "Can you tell me why?"
The old lady's persuasive tone was just like a big bad wolf tempting an innocent little white rabbit.
Lu Xiang held the chopsticks tightly and said stubbornly, "My father wants to support Aunt Liu as the legitimate wife. I am very unhappy, so I want to go out with my grandmother to relax. In the Lu family, I am the only legitimate third daughter. If you let me make way for Lu Mingzhu, then I will shave my head and become a nun there."
What I mean is, Dad, you can do it yourself.
If a good daughter from a family decides to become a nun, it usually means she has made a serious mistake.
If there is a daughter who has made a mistake in a family, and she is the legitimate daughter, then the reputation of the other daughters will not be good, and at least it will be difficult for them to marry into a higher class in the future.
Lu Mingzhu, the apple of my eye...
From the name, we can tell how much Lu Youping values and loves his daughter. How could he bear to let Lu Mingzhu's reputation have even the slightest flaw?
You said keep it secret?
Since Lu Xiang did this, he intended to make it known to everyone. How could he hide it?
"You..." The old lady understood what she meant instantly. She looked at her helplessly and smiled dotingly, "Okay, I'll take you with me, but don't mention becoming a nun again. Leave this matter to grandma. I should also wake up your father."
Lu Xiang nodded in agreement.
What her grandmother meant was not to let her confront her father head-on. After all, he was her father. Even if her father finally compromised, it would be bad for her if the reputation of a daughter forcing her father got out.
But it was different when my grandmother took action.
It is natural for a mother to suppress her son. If her father doesn't care, he should not be the prefect.
Oh my God, grandma was so good to her. She must have been so blind in her previous life to ignore her grandma’s love for her.
After dinner, Lu Xiang accompanied the old lady for a walk in the yard to help digest the food. Suddenly, bursts of sobbing were heard outside the yard.
"Who's outside?"
A little maid ran to the door and after seeing the person standing outside, she replied, "Madam, it's the Fourth Miss." Lu Mingzhu was not included in the family tree, so this Fourth Miss still referred to Lu Yue.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yue came in while wiping her tears and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Grandmother, Third Sister."
Lu Yue was wearing a plain dress, and her pretty face was covered with traces of tears. Her delicate and touching appearance made people feel pity at first sight.
Lu Xiang looked at his younger sister with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. She had a soft and harmless face, but her heart was more poisonous than snakes and scorpions. Lu Yue thought she was smart and got carried away by her beauty, thinking that she could fly up to the top with her beauty. But in the end, she could only be manipulated by Liu and her marriage was unhappy.
"Why are you crying so late at night?" the old lady asked calmly. If you listen carefully, you can hear a hint of concern in her indifference.
Even though she is a concubine's daughter, she is still a child of the Lu family, and the old lady always cares about her.
Lu Yue knelt down in front of the old lady, and her tears fell even harder: "Grandma, help me, my father is furious and wants to punish my aunt, please save me, grandma."
Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Aunt Fang thought she had found Liu's fault and asked Lu Yue to ask for help, but she just wanted grandmother to severely dampen Liu's fighting spirit. As long as grandmother hated Liu, Liu would not dare to jump around.
But Aunt Fang would never think that Liu dared to be so arrogant because she relied on her father's love and support. As long as her father didn't dislike her, Liu's status in this mansion would always be very high.
If you want to destroy the Liu family, Lu Youping is the only way.
"Go and take a look." The old lady frowned and said.
The old lady didn't let Lu Xiang go back, so Lu Xiang followed her without hesitation.
The waning moon is like a hook, and the entire night sky looks quiet and peaceful.
Lu Xiang supported the old lady as they walked to the front yard. Lu Yue, beside him, followed with tears in her eyes and told them what had happened. The bright moonlight poured down, making the tears in her eyes look as crystal clear as pearls.
He is really good at pretending.
From the main hall of the front yard, the voice of Aunt Fang crying could be heard: "Master, I have done something wrong. It is clearly Lu Mingzhu who does not know the rules."
"Shut up, you were the one who called her Mingzhu. She is the young lady of the Lu family and a legitimate master." Lu Youping said angrily.
Aunt Fang's face turned pale. Even if she was a concubine, she was still his woman. Now he was trying to humiliate her for the sake of a daughter born out of wedlock?
