Chapter 51
"My mother-in-law was a guest in my mother's yard. My mother invited her younger brother and sister-in-law to come with her. The younger brother and sister only brought their long bows, but not Brother Qing."
"Brother Qing is my brother's biological son, but she prefers an outsider."
It's not good for children to hear this. When Lu Jia said it, the old lady had already asked Brother Qing to be taken out.
Mrs. Lu's face didn't look very good.
Although so many things happened, Brother Qing did not like Lin Yunwan's heart, but she was the legitimate mother and should not treat the two children differently.
There is no reason why the old lady loves her grandson. She said: "When I have time, I will beat Yun Wan."
Lu Jia was happy after hearing this and said more eloquently: "In my opinion, so what if I tell her the truth!"
"She is the legitimate mother. No matter where the child comes from, as long as it is a child of a rivalry, doesn't she have to raise it?"
"After telling her what she is afraid of, she still dares to get angry with her husband?"
Lu Zhengliu frowned: "Sister, things are not as simple as you think."
Lu Jia didn't know how complicated things could be, and said contemptuously: "Brother Qing's status is not honorable, but to be honest, he is an illegitimate child born before marriage, and that is the only bloodline of the Lu family! Yun Wan couldn't help but not want to. "
If only it were that simple!
Behind Brother Qing'er is Ge Bao'er. She is not simple. She brought her son to the marquis family, and she also tried to seek the position of mistress. She was very ambitious.
Mrs. Lu glanced at Lu Zhengliu.
But her stubborn and stubborn grandson really followed Ge Baoer's mistakes step by step until today. Now he is no longer as easy to explain the past as an illegitimate child.
She said irritably: "Okay, stop talking. You don't have to worry about family matters."
Lu Jia's expression changed.
Does this mean that she is the daughter of a foreign marriage and is nosy?
Oh, when it comes to her son getting close to Brother Qing, he doesn't want to talk about it outside of his family!
She quickly regained her composure and asked in a normal tone: "I heard that a cousin came to the house. How come I didn't know there were relatives like this at home? Why doesn't my grandma let my sister come out to meet us?"
"I haven't had any sisters since I was a child. Now that I have an extra sister, I'm really happy from the bottom of my heart."
Mrs. Lu, however, did not agree to her words and responded perfunctorily: "A distant relative from the country cannot be sent away, so I kept him at home. Don't ask any more questions."
"You have time now, tell us more about the Xia family."
Lu Jia smiled meaningfully.
It's really interesting. She wanted to ask about her husband's family affairs, but the old lady didn't say anything to her. She treated her as if she were a stranger and was on guard. Instead, she tried her best to get her to talk about her husband's family affairs.
However, she also talked about some things about the Xia family, but she did not dare to reveal the Xia family's details.
Mrs. Lu was still shocked, and she valued this in-law relationship more and more.
She held Lu Jia's hand and said very excitedly: "It's not in vain that your mother and I agreed to this marriage for you. You have a good life."
Lu Jia was noncommittal.
As a concubine, it was honorable enough for her to marry into the Xia family, a prominent family in Yu.
Lu Zhengliu listened for a long time, and only expressed concern about Mrs. Xia's brother.
"His medical skills in treating eye diseases are really superb?"
Lu Jia nodded and said, "My uncle's medical skills are also famous in Henan. He has the ability to 'bring the dead back to life' in treating eyes, and blind people can see again."
Lu Zhengliu felt hot in his heart.
Of course Mrs. Lu knew what he was thinking, and she probably wanted to use this incident to reconcile with Lin Yunwan. She also said seriously: "It would be great if your uncle from the Xia family could cure Yunwan's mother's eyes. .”
Lu Zhengliu was worried and frowned.
He pursed his lips, but decided to ask first: "Grandma, Yun Wan's mother's eyes are completely blind, does it have anything to do with me?"
Lu Jia suddenly became energetic and stared at the two of them.
Mrs. Lu was silent for a long time before she said: "What mother doesn't want her daughter to marry into her husband's family and live a good life? You left for a few years, leaving her alone in the empty house. Although it is true that you can't come back from guarding the border, there is nothing to blame. Lin After all, Madam loves her daughter, but she will still shed tears."
Talking about what happened that year, the old lady said: "Yun Wan also cried sadly after visiting her mother. However, her mother had eye problems and could no longer see clearly. It was only a matter of time before she became blind. Look away."
Lu Zhengliu lowered his head and blamed himself unspeakably.
He also thought that if he married her, as long as he didn't touch her, he wouldn't hurt her and it would be fair to both of them. It can be regarded as following the way of a gentleman.
It turns out not to be.
Mrs. Lu advised him again: "Yun Wan has already looked away, so don't take it too seriously. The days are long, so just make it up to her."
"My grandson understands."
Lu Zhengliu was not in a good mood.
The two siblings came out of Yushou Hall together, and he didn't say much. When Lu Jia asked, he answered without hesitation.
Lu Jia simply stopped talking to him.
A messenger came up to the second door. He was running in a hurry. Lu Jia stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"
The boy, who was five or six years old, said in a childish voice: "There is a message from the old lady of the Xia family."
Is there any news about Uncle Xia's uncle?
Lu Zhengliu suddenly became excited: "Where is he?"
The boy pointed toward the outer courtyard and said, "In the front hall."
"Sister, let me go over and take a look first."
"Okay, go ahead."
Lu Jia did not return to the yard.
She now lives in the same courtyard with her mother-in-law. When she returns home, she wants to see her mother-in-law's face, so she takes her confidant Roujuan to stroll in the garden.
"I haven't been back for a long time, and I feel like the garden has changed."
Roujuan smiled and said: "My eldest madam, you are homesick. At any rate, you are back. From now on, you, my eldest sir, and my old madam will live in the capital. You can come and visit us anytime you want."
Lu Jia smiled and said nothing. How could she come here so easily? Her mother-in-law didn't like her going out often.
But it's better than being unable to return to my parents' home all year round when I was in Yudi.
When it comes to returning to her parents' home, she actually feels a little dissatisfied.
Lu Jia was very emotional: "After all, it was my married daughter who threw the water away. I am already an outsider."
Roujuan helped her up to the pavilion and said, "Madam, why are you telling me so much about the Xia family?"
"Silly girl, Wudinghou Mansion is my natal family after all. I can't write two characters for "Lu" in one stroke. The truth is correct."
"The Xia family is said to be a Qingliu family. Xia Ji has fewer women in his house? He has countless women outside! There are also a lot of concubines and concubines in the house. As a daughter-in-law and aunt, I am no more than a maid. Just be comfortable."
"I'm just helping my mother's family. Who will support me in the future? I will be beaten to death by our old lady!"
Thinking of her mother-in-law's face, the anger in Lu Jia's heart crawled onto her face.
Roujuan comforted her with a few words.
Lu Jia had long been accustomed to this kind of life, and after being angry for a while, he didn't take it to heart anymore.
"My 'cousin', I want to meet her for a while if I have a chance."
She said it meaningfully.
During the few years she was away, she didn't know the secrets of the family. The identity of that cousin must not be simple.
"Madam, it's getting cold, let's go back." Roujuan reminded her.
Lu Jia didn't dare to stay too long. It was time to go back and see if her mother-in-law had woken up, so that she could help her get up and freshen up.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law was still sleeping.
When she returned to the house, she suddenly felt that the room was dusty and not as bright and bright as when she was in the boudoir.
After looking around, I felt that Lin Yunwan had arranged the room badly!
"Is this what you use for me?"
Lu Jia took the teacup with blue and white flowers that promised to have many children, and attacked the maid of the Lu family.
The maid said in a panic: "Auntie, calm down, I will change my slave for you right now."
After collecting the tea set, I went to Chuisi Hall to find Pingye. This was already the best porcelain. If I wanted to get better porcelain, my wife would have to take the initiative and go to the warehouse with the right cards.
