Chapter 32
"Madam, Master Qing went to the old lady to complain."
Pingye looked at the little maid coming from Yushou Hall, curled her lips and said, "I said I asked you to come over for dinner, I'm obviously blaming you!"
However, after experiencing Brother Qing's change of teacher, Yu Shoutang did not dare to accuse him openly.
Taoye was a little puzzled: "Old Madam, you dote on Young Master Qing too much. Madam, you are the mistress of the family." How come you regard your adopted second son as more important than being the mistress of the family? The old lady is really strange.
Pingye also noticed something was wrong and couldn't figure it out, so she muttered, "Does Master Qing have something special to make the old lady happy?"
Lin Yunwan said softly: "Be patient, as time goes by, everything will come to the surface."
She changed her clothes and went to Yushou Hall.
Although the old lady didn't say anything to blame her on the surface, after finishing the meal, she couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Lin Yunwan why she hit Brother Qing. She was afraid of offending Lin Yunwan, so she explained: "What's wrong with the child is exactly It's time to hit, I know you have sense. I'm not blaming you."
Lin Yunwan was too lazy to speak in person, so she called out: "Pingye."
"yes."
Pingye learned what Brother Qing said in the afternoon, but she didn't mention his bullying of Lu Changgong. The old lady will not uphold justice for Lu Changgong, but she must be afraid that Brother Qing will spill the beans.
Sure enough, after hearing Brother Qing say, "He is the master of this family," he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Old madam, I wonder where Brother Qing learned these words at such a young age? Not to mention that the prince and I are still here, even my mother-in-law and you are healthy and live a long life. When will it be his turn to have a seven-year-old child in the Wuding Marquis Mansion? Does the child make the decision?”
Mrs. Lu was frightened when she heard this, and she tried to deal with it first: "He is just a child, what does he know?" She said with a sinister face: "I will have people find out the servant who taught him such words and deal with them severely. "
She was talking about servants, but Ge Baoer's face appeared in her mind.
Not who she is!
Lin Yunwan looked relieved and said, "Since I have the old lady to worry about, my granddaughter-in-law will have nothing to do."
The old lady nodded and said, "It's getting late, you should go back first."
Just as Lin Yunwan got up and went out, Lu Zhengliu came.
"Your Majesty."
He stood outside the threshold without moving. It was obvious that he had been standing for a while. He must have heard the conversation she had just had with the old lady.
Lin Yunwan looked cold and prepared to pass him by.
Lu Zhengliu frowned and said, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, "I'm not here to blame you."
In the side room, Ge Baoer had already poked his head out.
Lin Yunwan withdrew her peripheral vision and said to Lu Zhengliu, "I wonder if it would be convenient for the prince to take a step to talk?"
He originally wanted to greet the old lady first, but the old lady heard it from inside and said, "Zhengliu, you go first."
"yes."
They both turned around.
Mrs. Lu was happy in her heart, but when she thought about Brother Qing, she slammed the table and said, "I thought mother and son were connected, and Brother Qing only listened to Ge Bao'er's advice. I didn't expect Ge Bao'er to teach him this! "
Yan's mother was happy for her: "Old madam, you must take care of yourself! My cousin is short-sighted, what big truth can she tell Master Qing?"
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly: "She thinks mother is more valuable than son, what a beautiful idea!" She smiled and said: "I think Zhengliu's attitude has softened, and I am not afraid that there will be no legitimate son in the house."
"Brother Qing is my great-grandson, so naturally I love him, but if there is a legitimate son, he can only be ranked behind Yun Wan's child. A legitimate son is a legitimate son, a concubine is a concubine, and there is a difference between a legitimate son and a concubine - The rules set by our ancestors.”
Yan's mother also said: "Don't say that there is no legitimate son. The prince is still young, so he can't say nonsense like 'Brother Qing is the only legitimate son'. How can any man not take a concubine? In a few years, the prince should also be the ruler of the house." Add some bastards to the house. The things in the house cannot belong to Master Qing alone."
Mrs. Lu was noncommittal.
But before the other children were born, of course Brother Qing was more important in her heart.
She smiled and told Yan's mother: "Go out and take a look, the two of them..."
Yan's mother also smiled ambiguously, turned around and left.
"If that's the case, I don't think a kid would be able to figure it out."
Lin Yunwan and Lu Zhengliu walked slowly outside the Yushou Hall. The maid happened to be holding a lamp in the yard. Under the warm light, their shadows stretched long on the ground. Looking at their backs, one has slender shoulders and a slim waist, while the other is tall and straight. They match each other perfectly.
Lu Zhengliu followed her pace and frowned: "That's for sure." He also said specifically: "You are right to punish him. If I heard this, I would also punish him."
Lin Yunwan suddenly stopped and looked at him.
Lu Zhengliu was stunned for a moment, and for some reason he couldn't look away from her bright eyes.
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing I have to say."
"Say." His voice became hoarse.
Lin Yunwan glanced at the side room and said: "Although my cousin is not young, she is still waiting to be married. Although what Qiao Da said is unacceptable, it is not unreasonable. The prince should be filial to the old lady. Yes, you should avoid suspicion."
"What do you think, Prince?"
Lu Zhengliu was not angry, but rather...unexplainably happy.
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You don't like me meeting Cousin Ge?"
Lin Yunwan sneered and said: "The prince misunderstood, I am talking about the reputation of the prince and the reputation of the Marquis Mansion."
"I understand." Lu Zhengliu assured her: "I will be careful in the future."
He thought this was a good opportunity to talk to her. He remembered the old lady's advice and cared about her family affairs: "Were your mother's eyes always like this before?"
"Your Majesty, you don't remember anything?"
Lin Yunwan's voice was a little cold.
Lu Zhengliu frowned as he recalled, vaguely recalling some things.
Lin Yunwan knew that he probably couldn't remember it, so she told him: "Before I made an engagement with the prince, my mother's eyesight was not very good." The more she said, the more sad she became: "Later, after I married into the Hou Mansion, I completely lost my sight. Gone…”
Without her first words, Lu Zhengliu also vaguely felt that Mrs. Lin's eye disease might be related to the Lu family, or even him.
"Have you seen Dr. Xunming?"
Lin Yunwan: "Old diseases have no cure."
Lu Zhengliu said sincerely: "My mother-in-law is blind and has to take care of her young brother-in-law. Life is difficult. As the head mother of the Lu family, you can ask the government to help the Lin family buy a bigger house and buy more young and easy-to-handle people." Servant. Mother-in-law can also relax."
Lin Yunwan frowned and sneered: "Your Majesty, you don't have to humiliate people like this."
"The Lu family is the Lu family, and the Lin family is the Lin family. I will never use the Lu family's money to subsidize the Lin family."
"That's not what I meant. The Lu family is what it is today, thanks to your hard work. I just think..." His tone was a little anxious.
Lin Yunwan said with a cold face: "The prince has been away from home for a few years, and he doesn't know what is going on in the inner house. It's very cold at high places. Hundreds of pairs of eyes are watching every stitch in the house. If I pretend to be a public servant and do not stand upright, what will happen to the servants and people below me?" Even if the clan members in the clan disobey orders, how should I run the family then?"
Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips and said, "I made a mistake."
Lin Yunwan bowed and said goodbye.
Lu Zhengliu secretly clenched his fists, feeling a little regretful that he had spoken inappropriately.
When he turned around, Ge Baoer was already standing under the lamp, his face pale, he must have heard something.
