Chapter 286 Filial piety is powerful
morning.
Li Siqi opened his eyes sleepily and looked towards the window.
I saw a faint light coming through the window, and I felt relieved.
"Master, can you see it?" The servant looked at him nervously.
Li Siqi smiled faintly: "Don't worry, you can see it."
The servant suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared. I just hope that the gods and Buddhas in the sky can bless you to get better soon."
"By the way, the Orchid Garden sent a few pots of top-quality orchids, and I beg you to help take care of them." The servant snorted.
"My Lord is the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo, how can he raise orchids for them? They send me flowers that are difficult to raise from time to time. What kind of person do they think my Lord is? But my Lord doesn't allow me to refuse."
Li Siqi waved his hand: "It's okay."
"It is difficult to keep flowers and plants alive. It is my honor to be able to keep a small life alive with just a little effort." Li Siqi did not feel troubled.
"But Lanyuan treats you well, too. They give you all kinds of precious species."
"Our young master is really amazing. No matter how difficult the flowers and plants are to grow, he can easily keep them alive." The servant smiled, as if anything could be kept alive in the young master's hands.
"You're flattering me again." Li Siqi smiled indifferently.
He just felt that everything has life.
As long as you treat it with your heart, everything will be able to feel your intentions.
"I'm not trying to flatter you, this is the truth."
After Li Siqi finished his breakfast, the eldest lady took him to look left and right, and only let him go when she saw that he was in good spirits.
"God bless my son and may he always be healthy." The eldest lady sighed deeply.
"By the way, what was going on with the noise yesterday?" Li Siqi never goes out at night since his eyesight became poor.
"Princess Zhaoyang's grandmother passed away, and she took bereavement leave. Prince Yuzhou was jealous and followed her example to take bereavement leave. All the civil and military officials in the court and even the concubines in the harem rushed to attend the funeral. She was beaten half to death by Prince Jingxi last night. Today she took seven days of sick leave, and her voice is hoarse from crying."
"The Duke also went there."
"Is there such a thing?" Li Siqi was shocked.
"Go to the Imperial College and ask for an hour's leave for me. I'll go over and take a look..." After Li Siqi finished speaking, he asked the coachman to drive to Lu's house.
A white banner had been hung at the entrance of Lu's house, and paper money was scattered all over the ground.
The maid at the door was dressed in mourning clothes, welcoming the guests who came to pay their respects.
The maid led Li Siqi in. As soon as they walked through the gate, they saw that the courtyard was in a mess and there was a noisy sound coming from the hall.
Li Siqi frowned slightly. Ever since Lord Lu divorced, the Loyalty and Bravery Marquis's Mansion has been getting worse day by day.
Now, the title is gone and there are no rules in the mansion.
The young man walked in quickly, fearing that Lu Chaochao would get hurt.
"Get out!" Lu Yuanze, with untidy beard and haggard expression, was pointing at the two people in front of him angrily and shouting.
Lu Jinghuai coughed softly and stood beside Lu Yuanxi.
Lu Yuanxi stood in front of him and saluted to Lu Yuanze: "Brother, you have to let Jing Huai see mother off. After all, this is her only grandson."
"Bah, who is your mother! Get lost, you are not worthy of calling her mother!"
"And you, if you had known that Lu Yuanxi was your father, you would have helped him deceive me!" Lu Yuanze gritted his teeth. At this moment, he truly felt Xu's despair.
The despair of being betrayed by someone close to you.
"Get out of here! I don't acknowledge you. How can you be considered a descendant of the Lu family?!" Lu Yuanze was deeply hurt by the word "only grandson" and his eyes were red.
"Brother, whether you recognize Jing Huai or not, he is the only child in the family tree."
"My eldest brother has no son to see him off, so we should leave a bloodline for our parents to visit their graves."
Lu Yuanxi had a smile on his face, which made Lu Yuanze so angry that he felt dizzy.
The mourning hall was in chaos. Those who came to pay their respects could not help but shake their heads. Lu Yuanze had played a good hand of cards badly.
"Mr. Lu Yanshu has arrived."
"Mr. Lu Yuanxiao has arrived."
"Mrs. Xu is here..."
The servant was delivering a message outside the door, and everyone looked outside.
Xu was wearing a plain long dress, with Rong Che following beside her. General Rong was always unkempt, but now he dresses himself very neatly, even combing his hair meticulously.
Following behind him were Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao, holding Lu Chaochao's hand.
"Chao Chao." Li Siqi walked forward and touched Chao Chao's little face. He especially liked Chaochao's eyes, which were bright and clear and made him happy just by looking at them.
"Brother Siqi, give me a hug..." Lu Chaochao stretched out her hand and threw herself into Li Siqi's arms.
Li Siqi held the little girl in his arms and smelled the milk scent on her body, feeling relieved.
"Brother Siqi, are you hungry? I'm a little hungry..." Lu Chaochao rubbed his stomach.
"Brother will take you to eat later." Li Siqi said gently.
Lu Chaochao struggled to jump down.
Squatting beside the copper basin, he burned paper in the basin carefully.
Lu Yuanze was deeply moved by what he saw.
"Good boy, Chaochao, you are such a good boy. If your grandmother were still alive in heaven, she would be so happy." Lu Yuanze burst into tears. He regretted so much, so much!
"Let's burn some incense for the old lady and see her off." Xu nodded slightly at him.
Rong Che took a few incense sticks and handed them to Xu, Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao.
Lu Yuanze looked at her hopefully.
"Yunniang, Yanshu is the grandson that the old lady values the most. Let Yanshu guard the casket and carry the spirit tablet to send the old lady up the mountain?" Lu Yuanze was never willing to let Lu Jinghuai be a filial son and grandson. The old lady hated Lu Jinghuai the most before she died. If Lu Jinghuai was the eldest grandson, she would probably die with regrets.
Xu Shiyun shook her head decisively: "Lord Lu, this is unreasonable."
"Yanshu is not in the family tree, so how can he be the eldest grandson?"
"For the sake of the deceased, Yanshu can only offer a stick of incense." Xu Shiyun would never allow them to keep vigil for the old lady.
If it weren't for Chao Chao, I would be the one exposed in the wilderness and my entire family would be wiped out!
The light in Lu Yuanze's eyes gradually dimmed.
Rong Che stood behind her, as if asserting his sovereignty.
"Brother, we are all family, don't be fussy. We should let the old lady rest in peace."
"Don't mention it, old lady. When you are gone in the future, it will be my son who will break the pot. It's because my eldest brother has no children to see him off in his later years."
The string in Lu Yuanze's head suddenly broke.
"Don't even think about dying!" Lu Yuanze hated it. He hated it so much.
"Kick this pair of evil bastards out! Kick them out!" Lu Yuanze shouted angrily.
The once famous Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion is now just a joke.
Lu Chaochao squatted in front of the brazier seriously, with a solemn expression, staring at the brazier without blinking.
He ignored the beating and scolding from the two groups of people in the mourning hall.
"Chao Chao, what's wrong with you?" Li Siqi asked cautiously.
Is the little guy sad?
Chao Chao, you are not such a saintly person.
Everyone was pushing and shoving each other, fighting each other, and completely losing their minds.
Suddenly...
There was a sweet fragrance in the air.
Everyone who was fighting was stunned and looked in the direction of the smell. They saw Lu Chaochao eating sweet roasted sweet potatoes around the brazier.
The sound of chestnuts cracking could be faintly heard from the brazier.
What a filial son.
Filial piety makes you stronger.
