Chapter 5 Born on the same day of the same month of the same year
Dengzhi also remembered this matter.
At this moment, I was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover.
The master taught Xu, and Xu taught... Lu Yuanze!
"Madam, there are many people who can imitate handwriting. Perhaps it is a misunderstanding." Dengzhi said in a dry tone.
Xu had no evidence for this matter. She just had some guesses in her heart because she listened to Chaochao's thoughts.
Xu's eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Go get a brazier and don't alarm anyone." Her heart was beating like thunder.
Is it really him?
Was it her bedmate who betrayed her that framed her?
Why! Why!! It was clearly him, Lu Yuanze, who came to ask for my hand in marriage in person!
Xu's eyes were red, and she looked very angry.
As soon as she entered the mansion, Lu Yuanze asked her to go to the study to teach her how to write. Has he ever been sincere to her?
She only felt warm at that time, but now, she felt cold all over.
He said that he felt depressed in Xu's family and had not been home for 18 years.
I have never contacted my parents.
She has never opened any holiday gifts sent by her parents!
Even when she was suffering from morning sickness during pregnancy, she didn't dare to accept the sour plums her mother gave her!
Xu felt as if she was trapped in a fine and dense net, which made her feel suffocated.
It feels like being in a world of lies, and if you take a wrong step, you will be shattered.
[My beautiful mother, don’t be afraid, Chao Chao will help you, Chao Chao loves you, mua wow…]
When Mrs. Xu lowered her head, she saw her little daughter staring at her with her big watery eyes and pouting her lips as if she wanted to pat her.
[I raise the banner for my mother, let's see who dares to be her enemy]
[Go, mother!] 】
The depression in Xu's heart eased a little. How could she have deserved such a treasure?
She couldn't help it, so she picked up Lu Chaochao and kissed him on the face.
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and put the child down.
Pour lamp oil on the wood carving, light a fire, and put it in the brazier.
Only after watching the wood carving burn to ashes did Xu slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Madam, please go and wash up first. You are still in confinement after giving birth, and you cry frequently and break out in cold sweats." Dengzhi also felt sorry for his wife. These two days had almost turned everything upside down.
Xu felt weak all over, as if her whole body was falling apart.
I also know that my body can't take it.
"Send someone to look after Yanshu and don't let anyone bully him." Xu went to see her eldest son every day, but she stopped only when he couldn't get out of bed for the past two days.
"I go and punish the servants every day, don't worry."
Xu sighed, with a trace of sadness lingering between her brows.
[Mother, you can’t collapse now. If you collapse, we’ll all be dead… wuwuwu]
Mrs. Xu understood the situation, so she tried to suppress her emotions and take good care of herself during this period of time.
Lu Yuanze never returned home once.
Her heart grew colder.
"Has the date for the full moon banquet been set?" After recuperating for some time, Xu finally recovered some of her strength.
"It's settled. I've already informed Deshan Hall and the Marquis. But the old lady seems to be frowning and wants to change the date." Yingxue replied.
"After one month, the young lady seems to have grown up. She is so beautiful. I have never seen a child as beautiful as this young lady." Yingxue couldn't help but sigh.
God really favors the little lady.
Mrs. Xu touched her daughter's face lovingly.
The old lady and the master never came to see her during her confinement period.
Madam, do you know that your concubine is giving birth to a child?
Did they go to see that evil creature outside?
He treated the illegitimate child like a treasure and ignored her every moment. They only sent a nanny to deliver some gifts, which were all things that were not worthy of their praise.
Fortunately, she will give her daughter 100% love.
As he was speaking, he heard someone outside the door report that Nanny Lin, who was accompanying the old lady, had arrived.
Dengzhi personally welcomed Nanny Lin in. Nanny Lin had a smile on her face and looked like a kind person.
"Madam, the old lady has been unwell recently, and the Marquis is also busy in the court. How about changing the date of the full moon banquet?"
"Why not wait a hundred days?" Nanny Lin's face was full of confidence. The Madam has always been generous and kind, and she will definitely agree. I've gotten used to it over the years.
[Humph, liar, liar!] Daddy wants to attend Lu Jingyao's full moon banquet, mommy, don't be fooled! 】
Xu's breathing was slightly sluggish.
Does the old lady know all this?
"Please tell my mother."
"I only have one daughter like Chaochao, and I absolutely cannot let her down. A few days ago, I asked someone to invite the eldest princess to bring blessings to the child, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to refuse her when the time comes."
Nanny Lin was stunned. This was the first time she was rejected by the Madam.
Somewhat uncomfortable.
But when the eldest princess heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The eldest princess is your majesty's only sister. She has been childless for many years after marriage, and your majesty has always felt sorry for her.
If the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery can establish friendship with the eldest princess, it will naturally be a hundred benefits to the Marquis and no harm at all.
"I will go back and report to the old lady. I think she can hold on for a while." Nanny Lin thought with her toes and guessed that the old lady would agree.
However, the old lady and the marquis have already promised to go there, and I am afraid they will go back on their word.
She glanced at the baby in the cradle.
I was shocked when I saw it.
The chubby little baby has arms like lotus roots and red lips and white teeth. I'm sure anyone who sees him will be happy.
It’s better than the one outside.
Less than half an hour after Nanny Lin returned, she sent someone to tell the old lady that she agreed.
at night.
The marquis, who had not returned home for a long time, also came back.
There was some resentment in his tone.
"Why did you choose the date on March 6th? That day..." That day was Jingyao's full moon banquet.
"The Marquis has not been home for a month, and when he came back he blamed me. Yunniang just wanted to do something for her husband, and specially invited the eldest princess to our house. How did it become a bad thing?" Xu wiped her tears with her handkerchief.
"We are husband and wife, and we just want to help you. Who am I all these years? Doesn't the Marquis know?"
"Even if you are sick, you still have to be filial to your mother-in-law and take care of your sister-in-law. You have been married for more than ten years. Has Yunniang ever made trouble?"
Lu Yuanze looked a little embarrassed.
No matter how gentle my cousin is, unfortunately her family background is not as good as Xu’s.
"Yunniang, how can I blame you? You and I have been young husband and wife, and you understand me the best and are the most considerate of me." Lu Yuanze couldn't help but coax her.
"Then the Marquis must come back on the sixth day of March. Big brother may also rush back to the capital." Xu snuggled in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance on his body that did not belong to her, and her heart ached.
She has lost contact with her natal family over the years and rarely mentions her eldest brother.
Lu Yuanze agreed immediately.
[It’s over, it’s over. The Xu family was found to have witchcraft items on the sixth day of March. Oh my, I’m going to chop these bad guys to death...】 Lu Chaochao stared with his toothless mouth.
"Now that big brother is back, it's time for him to be promoted again, right?" Lu Yuanze asked in a deep voice, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "I am a woman, how can I understand these things? My eldest brother is an official at the border, which is dangerous and full of wars. He got his promotion at the cost of his life."
"Our Chaochao is a blessed child. I heard that there has been severe drought in the north for years and people were about to flee from famine, but it rained on the day Chaochao was born." Xu was very happy and distributed a lot of wedding candies in front of the gate of the marquis' mansion that day.
Lu Yuanze raised his eyebrows slightly and responded softly.
He just looked out the door, not knowing what he was thinking.
