Chapter 44: Lifting a rock to drop on the sister-in-law's foot
"Can I still scare you?"
"This is Madam Xu from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and this is her daughter, Lu Chaochao. This baby of mine was given to me by Chaochao."
After saying that, he stretched out two fingers.
"I want two."
Praying to the Buddha every morning didn't work, so she has now changed to praying every morning.
When Madam Qin heard about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, her eyelids twitched.
Seeing Xu's dignified and virtuous appearance, he hated Marquis Zhongyong even more.
You don't love your wife at home, but you're good at hiding the slut outside.
There was even a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
Xu stood up and bowed deeply to Madam Qin: "Thank you for your help last time, Madam Qin."
Qin waved her hands and said, "It's okay, just do it." Then she paused.
"Madam Xu, you have to make a decision now." Qin felt chilled when she saw how Marquis Lu treated that family so dearly.
Xu nodded.
The eldest princess was a little suspicious: "You two know each other?"
"It's quite interesting that we met by chance." Qin was unwilling to reveal it, so the princess didn't ask.
"Hey, hey, hey, you two, please don't make fun of me."
Qin has a good relationship with the eldest princess.
"I kowtowed a thousand times in the Huguo Temple, but I still couldn't have a child." She touched her belly with a lonely look. This world is unfair to women.
She could only try her best to provide support for her daughter.
She walked forward and picked up Lu Chaochao: "Chaochao, are you willing to give me a child? I am willing to be a vegetarian all my life, light a perpetual lamp for you, and worship you." Qin's expression was very serious.
She knew that the eldest princess never joked.
No matter how bizarre it was, she wanted to give it a try.
Chao Chao stretched out his hand and touched her forehead. A stream of spiritual energy flowed into her sea of consciousness and reached her limbs and meridians.
"Yaoyao...Didi, or sister?" The little guy asked seriously without clear words.
Qin held her in her arms and said, "A healthy son." Her daughter was weak and had difficulty giving birth. She didn't want her daughter to suffer and didn't want to marry her off.
It has also received some criticism over the years.
If I don’t have a son, the house will probably be divided up by the clansmen in the future.
Even my daughter cannot be saved.
Chaochao nodded and grinned at her aunt: "Okay... okay..." She was repaying Qin.
"Is it done?" Qin touched her belly in surprise.
The princess rolled her eyes at her and said, "Go back to find your husband."
Qin burst out laughing, but she didn't dare to make any dirty jokes in front of Lu Chaochao.
"Chao Chao, if your aunt can get pregnant, the doors of our Qin and Chen families will always be open to you." Qin was the daughter of a general.
The princess refused to be outdone, "The Princess's Mansion will always be open for you."
He even took off the jade pendant from his waist, as if she were there in person.
"This... this is too expensive. I can't accept it." Xu stood up and started to refuse.
The princess waved her hand and said, "This isn't for you. It's for our Chao Chao. Take it quickly."
The little guy staggered over to take the jade pendant and hung it around his waist.
"Good...it looks good." The chubby baby looked very happy.
"When auntie gets pregnant, auntie will give you a token of trust from both the Qin and Chen families. If that bastard bullies you..." Qin's eyes were slightly frivolous and she chuckled.
Lu Chaochao patted her round belly, making a loud thumping sound: "Life, life... life!"
Xu stayed there until evening before returning home.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Lu Wanyi's shrill cry.
"I won't go back. I will never go back. I won't go home. Mother, mother, save me..." Lu Wanyi was so frightened that his face turned pale, but he was held down by the sturdy old woman.
At this point, the old lady took the medicine and fell into a sleepy state.
Gu Ling was wearing a blue shirt and looked like a gentleman.
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to take Wanyi home. Wanyi is spoiled and willful, and I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." He looked at Lu Wanyi with gentle and considerate eyes, but scared Lu Wanyi so much that she trembled all over.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. Sister-in-law, please save me." She begged Xu cautiously.
"If you save me, I will tell you a secret. Okay, sister-in-law?" She tried to bargain.
Xu was heartbroken. She knew the truth from beginning to end, but she never thought of telling her.
Now, she is willing to speak only when her interests are affected.
But she...
No need.
"Wanyi, sister-in-law is not interested in secrets. It's inevitable for a couple to quarrel. They quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed. Sister-in-law understands it all."
"Son-in-law, Wanyi has been spoiled by us. Please teach her the rules properly, Gu family."
"Lu family, no objection."
"If you don't believe me, ask the Marquis. This girl from the Lu family was not taught well and it is the Lu family that is bringing shame upon itself." She spoke generously, and Lu Wanyi felt as if she were falling into the abyss.
Gu Ling looked at Lu Wanyi with a smile: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your understanding."
After the two left, Xu said calmly, "From now on, all letters from the Gu family should be sent to my courtyard."
"The old lady has been sick several times this year. If she is stimulated again, I'm afraid she will have a stroke."
"If anyone disturbs the old lady while she is recuperating, you'd better watch out for yourselves!" He glanced at her with a stern look.
Everyone knelt down tremblingly: "Yes."
After Mrs. Xu had dinner, the old lady woke up slowly.
When he heard that Lu Wanyi was taken back by her brother-in-law, he was shocked.
He sent someone to ask more questions and only heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the two of them were walking back hand in hand in a loving relationship.
She seemed worried and sent someone to the Gu family to ask about Lu Wanyi's dowry maid.
Now, Lu Wanyi's two maids who came with her as a dowry have become Gu Ling's concubines, so they naturally responded according to Gu Ling's wishes.
The matter was thus concealed.
In the evening, Lu Yuanze came to Deshan Hall and heard his son say again: "Let your sister live a good life. The top scholar is a man and a court official. How can he kneel down when he makes a mistake? Let her control her temper. Is she still as willful as she was at her mother's house?"
The old lady asked anxiously, "Is Gu Ling really worthy of trust?"
Lu Yuanze frowned and said, "Mother, Gu Ling is the new champion. His Majesty thinks highly of him. Why is he not worthy of trust?"
The old lady looked a little unhappy.
"It's all because of your daughter-in-law. She won't tolerate Wanyi. She insisted on sending Wanyi back to Gu's house."
I thought Lu Yuanze would scold me too, but unexpectedly Lu Yuanze got angry.
"Mom, Yunniang tried to stop you but you and Wanyi insisted on getting married! Besides, Wanyi and Gu Ling just got married, and she went back to her parents' home in a rage. What would outsiders think?" Lu Yuanze was a little annoyed. Pei Jiaojiao had been worrying about him these past few days, so he turned around and left Deshan Hall.
Tingfeng Garden was filled with laughter and chatter. Standing outside the hanging flower gate, Lu Yuanze couldn't tell the feeling in his heart when he heard the laughter and chatter inside the house.
From the moment I decided to marry Xu, it was all a scam.
At this moment, seeing Lu Yanshu in a wheelchair, the silly Lu Yuanxiao, and the eight-month-old Lu Chaochao who could only act cute to get meat, he sighed softly.
Turn around and leave.
If anyone is to blame, blame Xu's children for being useless.
After Lu Yuanze left, Lu Yanshu looked up at the door.
Silver charcoal was lit in the room. Lu Chaochao was drowsy, revealing her snow-white belly. Xu hurriedly covered her.
"Eat...eat and...slurp." In the dream, he was thinking about Rourou and slurping his saliva.
Lu Yanshu's cold eyes turned gentle and peaceful when they touched Chao Chao.
