Chapter 43
"Madam, you are joking. How do I know who threw that thing?"
Zhuqing's eyes flickered.
Lin Yunwan continued to fiddle with her abacus with her head down.
After a while, Zhu Qing couldn't help it anymore, and she said with a sad face: "Madam, I just want to help you."
Lin Yunwan: "Really?"
Zhu Qing forced a smile: "Of course, I also have selfish motives."
She just didn't like the feeling of being kept in the dark. Lu Zhengliu suddenly asked her to drink Bizi Soup, but Ge Baoer was full of joy. Even if she tried to harm the wrong person, if Ge Baoer was innocent, this matter would not harm her!
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "I don't care what you want to do for yourself. But you must be able to take responsibility for what you do."
"Zhuqing, you are not so lucky every time."
Zhuqing lowered her head and said, "Yes, madam. I don't dare to mess around anymore."
Pingye came in and sent a message: "Madam, the old lady is here to receive the reward."
Lin Yunwan promised to reward her, and she would never break her promise. She ordered: "Go grab a handful of silver ingots and give them to her."
Pingye grabbed the silver lock from the cage and took it out. She held it in front of Lin Yunwan and asked, "Madam, is that enough?"
This amount is not light anymore, Lin Yunwan nodded and said enough.
The woman's monthly salary was not as much as the girl who was waiting in the yard. She held a handful of silver and looked at the moon carefully. The silver light was shining, so dazzling!
She said loudly and happily: "Thank you, madam! Thank you, madam!"
Pingye frowned and dismissed her: "It's so late, why are you yelling? Go back quickly."
After the mother-in-law left, Zhu Qing also left.
The two girls, Ping Ye and Tao Ye, actually heard what their masters said outside.
"Aunt Zhuqing is really not a simple person. Madam, please be careful of her."
Pingye has a more aggressive personality, but she has a simple personality. She is afraid of dealing with such complicated people.
Lin Yunwan said: "It doesn't matter, she can't make trouble."
She also understands Zhuqing's temperament. As long as he doesn't go against her, he will be a good help.
But if anyone offends Zhuqing, her bite will be very painful.
Fortunately, she took Zhuqing back first.
The next day.
Lin Yunwan had told the girl early in the morning: "Let me know when the prince comes back."
Taoye was delighted: "Madam is going to see the Crown Prince?"
"It's time to meet him."
Zhuqing took action, so she should get what she wanted. Because she was satisfied, Ge Baoer panicked.
After Taoye agreed, he went to the second gate in person and asked the concierge to watch carefully. If there was any news, he would go to Chuisi Hall to report back.
Lu Zhengliu returned home, going to pay his respects to his elders and also take a look at Ge Baoer.
As soon as the mother-in-law saw him, she immediately woke up and ran to report to Lin Yunwan. She ran in a hurry, as if she had seen a ghost.
Lu Zhengliu saw it and frowned.
Babako!
"grandmother."
Lu Zhengliu entered Yushou Hall, but saw Mrs. Lu's face turned gray and very unhappy.
He took two steps at a time, crossed the threshold and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Yan's mother sighed and stopped talking.
Lu Zhengliu took a look at the side room and said, "What happened to her again?" Didn't he already let her do everything!
Mrs. Lu didn't want to go into details, she just frowned and said, "Your eldest sister and her family are coming to stay in the house soon. I told Bao'er not to go out to offer incense in the near future. Yun Wan also made a sound decision to everyone in the house. Fan, you here - I won't say more, you have to be more measured. Don't make others laugh. "
Hearing the word "joke", Lu Zhengliu thought of the events when Brother Qing was studying in school, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
"Yes, grandson understands. These days, grandson doesn't go out casually when he has nothing to do."
He made it clear that he would no longer meet Ge Baoer in the temple.
Mrs. Lu simply said: "Zhengliu, I want... to leave her in the temple to practice for a while, do you think it's okay? You also know that she is not a peaceful person. Wait until her relatives leave before taking her back." .”
Lu Zhengliu was silent.
How could he not understand that this was his grandmother's gentle approach.
They said they would pick her up later. When exactly was "later"?
"Grandma, if Brother Qing wants his mother, what do you want me to say?"
The prince is so stubborn that even Yan’s mother can’t persuade him.
Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "I understand."
Lu Zhengliu left without saying a word.
Mrs. Lu's eyes became sharp. She held the prayer beads tightly and gritted her teeth and said, "If it hadn't been for the rat-proof weapon, she wouldn't be alive now!"
Yan's mother also said: "Throw it into any village, and your life will be gone as soon as you tell her."
"Hey, it's not just for the sake of the prince."
Mrs. Lu said helplessly: "We must wait until the Xia family is settled properly before we deal with her. We need to find a long-term solution. If we do this again and again, my old bones can't bear it anymore..."
Yan’s mother asked: “What is the long-term method?”
Mrs. Lu sneered: "She doesn't want to leave the Lu family, but she also wants to stay with Zhengliu forever."
"You want the Crown Prince to take her as his concubine? How could the Crown Prince be willing to do it! How could she be willing to do it!"
I couldn’t have done it sooner!
Mrs. Lu put away the beads and said coldly: "I have to agree even if I don't want to! Why can't Zhuqing be a concubine, but she can't?"
Yan's mother was worried: "How can Madam explain this matter? Ge Baoer is your grand-niece in name. If people know that you gave your grand-niece to the Crown Prince as a concubine, your face and Madam's face will be lost." There’s room for it.”
"I can't care about face anymore. When something happens and something happens, Zhengliu will have nothing to say. Unless he wants Ge Baoer to die."
"But we can't do this in front of our relatives, otherwise we will lose face, and the married eldest sister will lose face in front of her mother-in-law. The Lu family is such a joke."
Yan's mother was relieved for the old lady: "You need to relax and recuperate first, and then slowly make plans after the Xia family leaves. The days are still long, and we have plenty of time."
Mrs. Lu nodded, coughing twice because her mood had been ups and downs these past few days.
While Yan's mother was helping her rest, she muttered: "I'll ask the doctor to check your Ping'an pulse tomorrow... It's not autumn yet, why are you coughing?"
As the sky darkened, lights began to be lit everywhere in the Hou Mansion.
On a quiet summer night, only the cicadas chirp.
Lu Zhengliu did not go to Yuxing Pavilion, but went to the study. Unexpectedly, he would see Lin Yunwan at the door of his study.
She stood on the porch with a gauze-covered red lantern above her head.
He walked over and moved his brows slightly, not frowning. He couldn't tell what he was feeling: "Why... why are you here?"
Lin Yunwan turned around.
Lu Zhengliu: "What do you want from me?"
He pushed open the study door and said to Lin Yunwan, "Come in and talk."
Lin Yunwan did not step into his study, but stood outside the door and said calmly: "I only have one sentence, so there is no need to go in."
Lu Zhengliu looked at her. His face was stern, and most servants were afraid of him.
But she was not afraid, and she even had more aura than him, especially those bright but cold eyes.
He couldn't understand how a housewife could look like this.
It seems that he has gone through thousands of sails and even his husband is ignored.
"Say what you want."
Lu Zhengliu was also cold when he heard his own voice.
Lin Yunwan said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, please stop Zhuqing's Bizi Soup."
Lu Zhengliu looked at her and smiled coldly.
"Is this why you came to me?"
Lin Yunwan asked him back: "Didn't the prince hear any rumors? I really can't understand why the prince ignored his wife and didn't allow his concubine to get pregnant."
"Is it because the prince has an ulterior secret? Or is it like the rumors outside - prince, are you physically ill?"
Lu Zhengliu's face darkened.
Is he sick?
Does she mean to say there's something wrong with him?
Lu Zhengliu walked up to her and said word by word: "Lin Yunwan, I am your husband!"
