Chapter 4 Changing Uncle's Fate
"She is the daughter that our Lu family has been waiting for for a long time. She was born in the morning, so why not call her Lu Chaochao. Chao means morning, which represents hope."
Xu lowered her head slightly, her eyes red.
Hearing this name, he grabbed the quilt on the bed, and his fingers turned white.
My heart felt like it was being tightly grasped.
She had been to Lu Yuanze's study.
There was a thick stack of white paper in the study, with names written all over it.
Lu Jingyao, with a noble character and graceful conduct, is as beautiful as a mountain and as graceful as a flower or a tree. As soon as you hear her name, you can tell that she is beautiful, intelligent, and loved by everyone.
Lu Zhiyuan is well-read and well-mannered, like a kite flying and a fish leaping.
Each name was carefully selected, and he gave it all his expectations and blessings.
And her daughter...
I only got one sunrise.
She was dissatisfied with the names of her three children back then, and now she doesn't want to let her daughter down any more.
"Why not..." Before he finished speaking, a cheerful babbling sound rang in his ears.
[Oh my, I want to call you Chaochao, I like to be called Chaochao, motherly mother, I want to call you Lu Chaochao...] The little guy used all his strength, stretched out his little hands and babbled.
Xu sighed softly and hooked her nose.
"Look how happy she is, let's call her Chao Chao." She hooked her daughter's nose, and the little girl reached out and grabbed her index finger tightly.
Five little fingers could barely hold her index finger.
Holding the index finger and placing it on the soft cheek [Don’t cry, mother, I’m not afraid, I will protect you every day...]
[Chao Chao is super super super super awesome, so awesome] The little guy looks like he is showing off.
There were still some tears in Xu's eyes.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but curl the corners of my mouth, and my heart felt warm.
"Yunniang, you have worked hard these days. There are a lot of things going on in the court, so I will probably be a bit busy this month." Lu Yuanze looked a little guilty, which was rare. Whenever he showed this look, Xu would advise him to consider the overall situation and not be bound by love.
Who would have known that all his time was spent with his mistress.
Her virtue actually stabbed herself in the back.
"You and I are husband and wife, how could I blame you? It's just that our Chaochao has been wronged." Xu touched her daughter, looking a little lonely.
Lu Yuanze glanced at Lu Chaochao who was in the cradle.
He couldn't help but make the comparison.
Speaking of which, Lu Chaochao and Lu Jingyao were born on the same day, both yesterday.
When Jingyao was born, her whole body was red, probably because she had not fully grown yet. Her skin was wrinkled and she cried like a kitten.
Lu Chaochao was born white and plump, with skin as white as snow, and even his eyebrows and eyelashes were long and thick.
She has a pair of sparkling eyes and is not afraid of strangers. She is truly lovely, just like the girl sitting under the seat of Guanyin.
Lu Yuanze took a look and then looked away.
His Jingyao is different.
Lu Yuanze felt a little bit more heated in his heart.
"Our Chaochao has been wronged. Daddy wants to apologize to Chaochao. Then, daddy will give the hot spring villa to Chaochao as daddy's apology." Lu Yuanze smiled and hugged her.
"Hurry up and thank your father. There are hundreds of acres of land around the hot spring villa. Your father is very generous. All of them belong to you, little guy." As Xu's words came out, Lu Yuanze frowned.
He only intended to give it to the hot spring villa.
It can be seen that Xu spoke and he did not refute.
However, this hot spring villa was originally given to Jingyao, so it seems that I have to change the gift.
[Wow, this resentful daddy is so rich. 】
Lu Yuanze was stunned for a moment before he felt a damp heat on his body.
His face froze and he stared with wide eyes at the baby in his arms, who was grinning at him with its toothless mouth.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's pee. The young lady has peed." Yingxue hurried forward and took the child away.
Lu Yuanze's eyebrows darkened and he held his breath, but he couldn't argue with a newborn baby.
Xu secretly concealed the smile on her face.
"My Lord, please change your clothes."
After Lu Yuanze left, Xu patted Lu Chaochao's butt gently: "Naughty."
[He deserves it. He deserves it. Even such a beautiful mother doesn’t love him. He deserves it. Let him bully my mother! 】
After Lu Yuanze changed his clothes and came out, he sat for a while and then got up and left.
Xu's eyebrows drooped.
"Go see where the Marquis has gone?"
Yingxue is honest and Juexia is smart, so they put the child down and followed.
After a while, he came back and reported, "I went to Deshan Hall." Deshan Hall was the old lady's residence.
"When the Marquis left, he took the old lady's Buddhist beads with him. I heard that the old lady was in a very good mood and gave them to the Marquis as a reward."
Xu felt heavy-hearted. Seeing that Madam looked unhappy, Juexia advised, "The Marquis must have left these Buddhist beads for the eldest young master."
There is a taboo in the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis.
His wife gave birth to three sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Lu Yanshu, was born intelligent. During those years, Lu Yuanze probably fell in love with him.
But when the eldest son was nine years old, he fell into the water and became a mentally retarded child.
Now he is locked up in the mansion, unable to even take care of himself, which has become a taboo and a black scale in the mansion.
When Xu went to the old lady to ask for Buddhist beads, the old lady just said that it was Yanshu's fate.
She knelt for three days and three nights but still failed to get what she wanted.
The Buddhist beads that the old lady had were given to her by the abbot of Huguo Temple.
It is said that this string of Buddhist beads has one hundred and eight beads.
Each one is extremely precious.
The Huguo Temple is a royal temple and has always been respected by the whole capital. How could the status of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion allow them to obtain such precious things?
But one year, the old abbot only took one look at her and said that the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery would be extremely wealthy, would have great opportunities in the future, and that there would be noble people with great merits and virtues in future generations.
So he gave me this string of Buddhist beads.
The old lady is very precious on weekdays.
Today, it was sent out.
Xu felt very uncomfortable.
At night, Dengzhi came back.
Dengzhi looked pale and even more frightened than before, and his hands were shaking as he pushed the door.
"Madam..." Dengzhi knelt on the ground with a thud as soon as he entered the room.
He didn't dare to say a word, and tremblingly took out the small wooden sculpture wrapped in white cloth from his arms.
[Oh my, isn’t this the witchcraft that killed my uncle? 】Xiao Chaochao blew bubbles and refused to go to sleep.
Xu's hand trembled and he almost dropped the wood carving to the ground.
"There is someone guarding outside the door, don't worry, ma'am." Dengzhi said, suppressing his fear.
When she discovered this thing, her legs went weak.
If this were discovered, the Xu family would be finished.
The Xu family holds great power, and if they find any clues, His Majesty will be suspicious.
The master of the Xu family was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty. His Majesty was wary of him, so he retired and returned home to enjoy his retirement.
We have finally eliminated His Majesty's vigilance. If it is provoked again, I am afraid that the Xu family will have to prove their innocence with blood!
The eldest brother is now a third-rank official. Due to the influence of his father, many people in the court respect the Xu family.
This is also the reason why the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery wanted to marry her!
Xu looked at the wood carving carefully. The wood carving seemed to be soaked in blood and had a somewhat eerie atmosphere. There were several sharp cuts on the wood carving with a knife, which made it even more shocking.
Your Majesty's birth date is engraved on the back of the wood carving.
"This handwriting..." Xu pursed her lips tightly, clenched her teeth, and traces of blood flowed from the corners of her mouth.
"This is the handwriting of the master." Dengzhi grew up in the Xu family, so he naturally recognized the handwriting of Master Xu.
Xu burst into tears: "No, it's mine!"
Xu's body was covered with goose bumps. She felt scared, terrified, and more importantly...
Fortunately.
She is the youngest daughter in the family. She was raised by her eldest brother and her handwriting was taught by her eldest brother.
After marrying into the Mansion of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, Lu Yuanze admired her good handwriting and often asked her to teach him how to write!
And what about yourself?
Because Lu Yuanze didn't like it, after getting married, she stopped contacting her parents' family and severed all ties with them!
