chapter eight
"Grandma, these Ruyi moiré boots were bought by my grandson at a clothing store outside. They were not made for me by Bao'er."
Lu Zhengliu was afraid that Ge Baoer would be reprimanded, so he explained it carefully.
Ge Baoer also wiped his tears and said softly: "Old madam, I came here in a hurry to see Brother Qing, so I chose a pair of shoes at random. I never thought of marrying the prince's..."
Mrs. Lu had a sullen face and was too lazy to talk to a country woman.
Her confidant Yan Mama came out and scolded: "The old lady is talking to the prince, why are you interrupting?"
Ge Baoer's face became even paler, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but shed tears. He was really pitiful.
Lu Zhengliu's heart ached when he thought of what he had owed her over the years.
But his grandmother was so angry that he didn't dare to add fuel to the fire. He had no choice but to put his arm around Ge Baoer's shoulders and coax her in a gentle voice: "You go and dress up first."
He begged Yan’s mother: “I’m sorry to bother you.”
Seeing Mrs. Lu nodded slightly, Yan's mother glanced at Ge Bao'er coldly and said coldly: "'Cousin,' please come with me."
Ge Baoer followed aggrievedly.
As soon as the person left, Mrs. Lu sighed.
"You said she was honest, and I believed you. You asked me to help you tell this big lie, and I helped you. See for yourself what she did."
Lu Zhengliu opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
Mrs. Lu interrupted him: "Don't use the words 'she didn't mean it' to prevaricate me. If she doesn't even have this caution and really wants to move in in the future, the family will be turned upside down by her. "
Lu Zhengliu lowered his head and said, "Grandma, you also saw the way Brother Qing heard that his mother was back."
Brother Qing was so happy that he could hardly hide it.
Mrs. Lu didn't dare to let him come over to see Ge Baoer, but left him in the front yard.
"If it weren't for Brother Qing, she would never have entered the Lu family!"
Mrs. Lu added: "In this way, since she is here to 'fulfill her filial piety' by my side, let her live in Yushou Hall. Every move of their mother and son will be under my nose, so you can deal with the affairs of the court with peace of mind." thing."
"A family doesn't just have to have heirs. If you can't support the Lu family, raising Brother Qing will just leave him with a mess."
"Grandma taught me that."
Mrs. Lu also said to Lu Zhengliu: "Come over tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of your child's education. You are brother Qing's biological father. You should pay more attention to his affairs. No matter how big or small, you should discuss it with Yun Wanduo. She comes from a well-known family. , knows better than us."
Lu Zhengliu couldn't tell that his grandmother was actually trying to bring him and Lin Yunwan together.
But what grandma said made sense.
"My grandson understands."
After Lu Zhengliu exited, Yan's mother came in and said to Mrs. Lu, "The prince has gone to see her."
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and said: "Forget it for the first day, keep a closer eye on her from now on. She doesn't want to be a concubine, and she even wants to be a mistress. Let's see if she can bear the pain."
"There is a huge price to pay for your wildest dreams."
"Don't worry, old slave."
\
Ge Baoer had redressed her makeup, put on a new dress, and taken off her veil.
Yan's mother arranged her in a wing room, which was connected to the small Buddhist hall of the Shoutang Hall. Lu Zhengliu entered through the back door of the Buddhist hall and met her in the Buddhist hall.
"Brother Azheng, I really didn't mean it..."
Ge Baoer threw herself into Lu Zhengliu's arms and cried, and also called her the "baby name" that Lu Zhengliu told her when she was in Liyang, Lu's hometown.
Lu Zhengliu didn't blame her.
But he wasn't one to comfort people either, so he just held her silently.
Ge Baoer got up from his arms after crying enough, and carefully inquired: "Brother Azheng, is the old lady angry with me?"
Mrs. Lu is Lu Zhengliu's most respected elder, and she is also the only person in the Lu family who can protect Brother Qing. She does not want to offend her at all.
Lu Zhengliu said: "The old lady asked you to live in Yushou Hall from now on."
Sure enough, the old lady was offended.
Ge Baoer was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said: "Brother Azheng, I clearly said that we should have a good deal before entering the house..."
Let her live in the courtyard next to the southwest corner gate of Wuding Hou Mansion. The courtyard is connected to the corner gate, just like an independent small courtyard. Lu Zhengliu can enter and exit through the corner gate every day, which is very convenient.
Now I live with the old lady, next door is the Buddhist temple, and I ask her to wear agarwood-colored clothes!
She is still young, how can she endure the days of green lanterns and ancient Buddhas without makeup.
Lu Zhengliu said, "It just so happens that you can take this opportunity to spend more time with the old lady. As time goes by, she will know your true nature."
Ge Baoer thought for a moment.
If the old lady likes her, will she treat Brother Qing better?
For the sake of my son, I can only do this.
She secretly made up her mind to serve the old lady well in the future.
"Brother Azheng, when can I see Brother Qing?"
When he mentioned his son, Ge Baoer's eyes shone.
"Wait a few more days, and the people in the house will no longer stare at you. Then you can have a good meeting with him."
As soon as Ge Baoer nodded, he heard Lu Zhengliu continue: "It will take a while before I can see you again."
She immediately bit her lip, and her clear almond eyes were obviously a little more aggrieved.
How long will it take? Are you going to forget her here?
"Brother Azheng, I might as well not come back with you. I can find my biological parents on my own and support Brother Qing..."
Ge Baoer cried very sadly.
Lu Zhengliu couldn't help but pinch her chin and said in a deep voice, "I have been looking for you and my son for seven years, and there is no way I will let you leave me again."
He lowered his head and sealed her lips.
Ge Baoer struggled a little at first, but gradually stopped struggling, and couldn't keep kissing him.
In the end, she still couldn't let go of him.
"Get some rest early and stop thinking so wildly."
After Lu Zhengliu left, Ge Baoer felt as sweet as honey.
Liyang is her adoptive father's hometown and the old home of the Lu family. Lu Zhengliu often went back to Liyang to play at the Lu Family Village when he was a child. They met in Liyang more than ten years ago, and it is no exaggeration to call them childhood sweethearts.
Although Lin Yunwan is from a good background, how can she compare with him.
"What a soft material..."
Ge Baoer touched the silk and satin on his body and twisted it with his fingertips. Although it was not a bright red or purple color, even the richest family in Liyang Town could not afford such a dress.
A smile gradually appeared in her eyes.
Early next morning.
Lin Yunwan and Lu Zhengliu came to Yushou Hall at the same time, followed by Lu Changgong and Brother Qing.
The servant went first to report to the old lady and said, "The prince and his wife are here with the two young masters."
"Two young masters?"
Ge Baoer was holding a bowl of porridge and made a sound of surprise.
She got up before dawn and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the old lady herself.
This is what she does best.
Fortunately, it tasted good, so the old lady didn't refuse and left her in the kitchen to help with the dishes.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Ge Baoer coldly and said, "Go down."
Ge Baoer lowered his head and put down the bowl.
As soon as he went out, he met Lu Changgong coming in and heard the maid calling him "elder young master".
Ge Baoer's heart tightened. Not only was her son not the only legitimate son, but the identity of the eldest son was actually given to another child!
What exactly is going on.
