Chapter 501 Sincere Blessings
Mrs. Lu was staring at the food on the table in a daze. Banxia picked up a steamed dumpling for her. Mrs. Lu shook her head and said, "Put it down. I don't have much appetite."
Banxia advised: "Madam, even if you have no appetite, you should eat something."
Madam Lu still shook her head. Banxia placed the bird's nest that had been stewed for a long time in front of her and said, "Madam, how about you drink some bird's nest first? You can't just not eat anything. Your body can't handle it."
Mrs. Lu held a spoon in her hand and stirred it occasionally.
Suddenly, someone came to report that Green Bean had arrived. Mrs. Lu's eyes lit up instantly and she said hurriedly, "Quick, please invite Green Bean in."
Soon, Luodou came. Mrs. Lu stood up and asked Luodou to sit down. She first asked Luodou if he had eaten breakfast, and then repeatedly asked someone to get clean dishes and chopsticks.
"Doudou, look, see if there is anything you like to eat. If not, I will ask someone to make some more." There was obvious flattery in Mrs. Lu's voice.
Green Bean was about to say something, but when she saw the bird's nest porridge in front of her that had been mixed into a somewhat crumbly state, she swallowed it back.
"I eat everything." Green Bean picked up the bun in front of him and started eating, and motioned Mrs. Lu to eat as well.
Mrs. Lu, who had no appetite just now, also picked up a steamed dumpling and thought it tasted really good.
Every time Green Bean ate something, he would remind Mrs. Lu to eat more, but Mrs. Lu had a small appetite. She ate a bun, two fried dumplings, and some side dishes, and almost didn't drink the bird's nest porridge in front of her.
Seeing that Mrs. Lu really couldn't eat anymore, Lu Dou quickly stuffed two fried dumplings into her mouth and then wiped her mouth.
"Doudou, eat some more. There are still a lot of food on the table." Mrs. Lu was afraid that Green Bean was not full, so she wanted to pick some vegetables for Green Bean.
"No, Mom, I'm full. I came here today because I have something to tell you." Green Bean seemed to have the courage after his stomach was full.
"Okay, you go ahead and talk, and I'm listening." Mrs. Lu sat upright, looking as if she was waiting for the verdict.
Lu Dou first glanced at Ban Xia, who quickly realized that Lu Dou meant for her to leave. Although she was reluctant, she still bowed to Madam Lu and said, "Madam, I'll have someone clear the table first. Otherwise, you and the young master can go sit in the flower hall first."
Mrs. Lu then noticed that they had been sitting at the dining table. She stood up and held out her hand to Green Bean: "Doudou, let's go to the side."
Ludou stood up and stood next to Mrs. Lu, but did not hold her hand.
Mrs. Lu was a little disappointed, but she still forced a smile and walked towards the flower hall next door.
The two of them sat down in the flower hall. Yue Gui brought in two cups of fruit tea and placed them on the tables respectively before leaving. There were only two people left in the entire flower hall. The door of the flower hall was open, and one could see that the yard outside was empty.
"Doudou, we just finished our meal, have some fruit tea." Mrs. Lu was the first to break the silence.
Luodou picked up the fruit tea and took a sip. It was indeed the taste of the one in Prince Jing's Mansion.
"Mom, you have suffered a lot these years." Green Bean said in a low voice while holding the cup.
"It's not bitter, mother. I'm not bitter. I'm just sorry for you. I left you alone for so long. It's understandable that you don't want to forgive me." Mrs. Lu couldn't control her emotions as she spoke, and tears flowed down her face.
Green Bean shook his head: "Mom, I went out on my own. This has nothing to do with you."
Mrs. Lu was still crying, her voice choked with sobs.
"Mom, I wrote a letter to my grandfather. Let's get ready for your marriage with Uncle Ling." Ludou's voice was very soft, but it successfully stopped Mrs. Lu from crying.
"Dou, Doudou, what did you say?" Mrs. Lu blinked. She seemed to hear that Ludou agreed to her marriage with Ling Yingwu.
"I say, mother, you should discuss the marriage with Uncle Ling. You can arrange it by yourselves as to when and how you want to do it." Ludou raised his voice a little. He couldn't connect the woman crying with her head down in front of him with the woman riding a horse and looking heroic that Uncle Ling mentioned.
Mrs. Lu's eyes were filled with confusion. She whispered, "Doudou, do you agree? But if I marry Ling Yingwu, I have to change my name."
Mrs. Lu had a hard time saying the last few words. She felt that she was very selfish. In order to get married, she even gave up the name her father gave her.
"I know that from now on, there will be no Crown Prince's wife in Prince Jing's Mansion. There will only be my grandfather and me." Luodou said this with a bit of sadness.
Mrs. Lu's tears came out again, she covered her mouth and shook her head.
"Mom, I know you've had a hard life these years. It's rare that Uncle Ling is willing to wait for you all these years. Don't let him wait any longer." Lu Dou said, suppressing the pain in his heart.
"Doudou, it's your mother who is sorry for you." Mrs. Lu walked up to Ludou, hugged him and started crying.
Lu Dou broke free from Madam Lu's embrace. He wiped away the tears from his eyes as he lowered his head. When he looked up again, a smile appeared in his eyes. "Mom, I sincerely wish you and Uncle Ling the best. I hope you can be happier in the future."
After saying this, Ludou couldn't stay any longer. He forced a smile and said, "Mom, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. You should discuss the wedding with Uncle Ling."
Ludou listened very quickly, and Mrs. Lu couldn't stop him.
When Banxia arrived at the flower hall, Mrs. Lu was sitting alone in a chair in a daze.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Banxia's exclamation woke up the dazed Madam Lu.
"Go and tell Ling Tongzhi to come over when he's free." When Mrs. Lu said this, she didn't look as happy as she had imagined.
Banxia frowned: "Madam, what did the young master want to say?"
Mrs. Lu gave a wry smile: "Lu Dou came to tell me that he agreed to my marriage with Ling Tongzhi."
Banxia's eyes lit up: "Really? I'll go tell Ling Tongzhi."
Mrs. Lu looked at her back and shook her head.
When Luodou returned to Jiang's house, Ye Mingzhu and the others had not eaten yet and were waiting for him.
"Sister, I just went to my mother's house and had dinner there." Luodou stood in front of Ye Mingzhu with guilt.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Luodou's expression carefully and saw that he didn't seem sad, so she felt relieved.
"Next time you go to your mother's house, tell us and we won't wait for you to eat." Ye Mingzhu was not angry, but Ludou felt even more guilty: "Sister, I'm sorry."
"Silly boy, why are you saying sorry to me?" Ye Mingzhu smiled and shook her head, then said jokingly, "I won't say any more to you. We are all hungry and need to eat first."
After Ye Mingzhu picked up her chopsticks, Ye Yun'an couldn't wait to start eating. Although Lu Dou had just eaten at Mrs. Lu's house, he was preoccupied at the time and didn't eat enough. Now that he relaxed, he felt hungry again.
Ye Mingzhu noticed that he was swallowing his saliva and found it a little funny. She pointed to the stool next to her and said, "We cooked a lot of food this morning. Why don't you sit down and help eat some, Green Bean?"
