Chapter 57
"To seize someone's wife is against the law of the court. Brother, you, you are confused!"
Lu Jia's face turned pale. She could never imagine how her brother, who had been outstanding since childhood, could do such a bastard thing.
I also secretly hated myself for talking too much.
If I had known better, I would have instigated my mother-in-law to come here. If her mother-in-law sees this kind of family scandal, how will she behave when she returns to her husband's house?
Lin Yunwan found it funny.
Lu Jia is scared now, but this matter is not just a violation of the law?
She seemed to be as surprised as Lu Jia, and came out worriedly to accuse: "If the prince wants to take a concubine, where can't he get one? My cousin's husband's family went to Shuntian Prefecture Yin..."
Are you still afraid that you don’t have a copy of Ginseng Wudinghoufu?
When the Lu family's affairs come to court, the nightmare of almost being deprived of the title seven years ago may come true.
These words frightened everyone and made them uneasy.
Mrs. Xia's face didn't look good either. The Xia family and the Lu family were related by marriage. If something happened to the Lu family, the Xia family would probably be affected as well.
She couldn't help but look at Lu Zhengliu reproachfully.
If it weren't for her identity, she would have scolded her in front of her!
Lu Zhengliu broke into a cold sweat on his back. When something unexpected happened, he was so focused on saving people that he never thought that he had fabricated the lie that Ge Baoer was already engaged.
He ignored Ge Baoer on the bed and quickly explained: "It was a helpless act to save my cousin just now... She and I have nothing to do with each other."
But who believes him!
So many women couldn't save them, so he was expected to save them?
Moreover, he left Master Li Qi and ran all the way here.
If they are really okay, then there is something wrong!
Lin Yunwan looked at him with complicated and disappointed eyes, not believing it at all.
Mrs. Xia obviously didn't believe it either. Lu Jia wanted to speak for her brother, but she didn't know where to start.
This can cost your life!
Mrs. Wei panicked, roughly pulled Ge Baoer up from the bed, held her shoulders tightly and asked, "Cousin, what happened that made you want to hang yourself? Please tell me clearly!"
Lu Zhengliu glanced at Ge Baoer with a hint of compulsion in his eyes.
Regarding concubinage, he would agree to it if he promised.
She should have some sense of propriety and not harm him or the entire Wuding Hou Mansion at this time!
Ge Baoer got off the bed and knelt softly on the ground.
She lowered her head and cried loudly with tears in her eyes: "Old madam, my grandniece is unfilial and she is a lonely and helpless person... Now that things have come to this, please execute me."
This is admission!
Mrs. Lu stared.
Others didn't know it yet, but she felt the smell of blood in her throat, her legs were stiff, and although she was standing firmly, her mind began to become confused.
Mrs. Xia shook her head in disdain and said with a solemn face: "If you don't abide by the rules of a woman even after you're engaged, it wouldn't be a pity to be executed!"
Lin Yunwan sighed: "Mrs. Xia, you are right. Come, bring me the rope."
Ge Baoer also forgot to cry and looked frightened.
How dare Lin Yunwan really execute her?
She is not a member of the Lu family in name, so even if Lin Yunwan is the mistress of the Lu family, she is not qualified to deal with her life or death!
In this matter, the Lu family should have come forward to "break off the engagement" for her. No one had anything to worry about. In the future, Lin Yunwan would generously offer to let her be Lu Zhengliu's concubine.
How could he strangle her to death!
The others also looked at Lin Yunwan in surprise.
Even so, it was not the Lu family's turn to intervene, not to mention she was just a daughter-in-law.
"puff--"
Madam Lu spat out a mouthful of blood.
Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she screamed: "Oh my God! Hurry, call the doctor!"
Lu Zhengliu took a step forward and hugged Mrs. Lu.
Yan's mother was originally supporting the old lady, but when she looked back, Brother Qing, who was following, heard about strangling Ge Baoer and rushed over. His mouth was opened, and he was about to call "Mother".
Little Ancestor, you can’t yell like this!
She hurriedly covered Brother Qing's mouth.
Brother Qing looked at her tiger's mouth and bit down, causing Yan's mother to have stars in her eyes from the pain.
"Ouch, ouch..."
The courtyard was in chaos.
Zhu Qing was also a little panicked and came out and said: "Mrs. Xia, don't you know medical skills? Quickly, give our old lady acupuncture!"
Mrs. Xia had a dark face and nervously declined: "I'm not good at studying, so I'd better call a doctor quickly."
In fact, she has no medical skills at all. Lu Jia didn't just make it up casually to trick her into coming over to see the Lu family's scandal!
She glared at Lu Jia again.
Lu Jia was afraid that something would happen to her grandmother, so she ignored her mother-in-law's eyes and helped pinch Renzhong.
Lin Yunwan calmly walked to the courtyard and ordered the ladies to evacuate the servants in clear words. Lu Zhengliu was urged to take Mrs. Lu back to Yushou Hall to see the doctor.
He sent Mrs. Xia away with apologies, and sent Mother Yuan to appease the guests in the garden.
When Mrs. Wei saw Lin Yunwan being so calm, she felt relieved.
Before following Yu Shoutang, she looked back at the bloodless Ge Baoer, slapped him in the face, and spat: "Despicable!"
Someone tied up Ge Baoer.
It was impossible to strangle her, so it would be better to tie her up first.
The banquet today can be said to be a mess.
Lu Zhengliu and Mrs. Wei stayed with the old lady. Lin Yunwan had to deal with other matters, but Mrs. Wei earnestly urged her to go back and rest.
Mrs. Wei also said sincerely: "You are indispensable in the family. It doesn't matter if I am a little tired, but you must not collapse from exhaustion."
If this mess all depends on her, it will be over!
She couldn't handle it.
While serving the old lady, Mrs. Wei would cry and curse in front of Lu Zhengliu and Yan's mother from time to time: "It's all that little hoof's fault! She is a disaster! In my opinion, strangulation means strangulation!"
Lu Zhengliu was worried and his face was dark.
After a long day of work, he asked about Master Li Qi's affairs. He found an opportunity to apologize to Lin Yunwan, but when he saw the look of disappointment and disgust on her face, he couldn't say anything.
Finally, while it was dark, I went to meet Ge Baoer.
"Are you satisfied now?"
He looked coldly at Ge Baoer sitting on the ground, regretting that he was soft-hearted today.
"I always think that you are Brother Qing's mother and my childhood sweetheart. Even if you are short-sighted, I can't just ignore you."
"As soon as I heard that you couldn't think about it, I rushed over to save you."
"But you want to harm me and my grandmother..."
Ge Baoer cried and shook his head: "Brother Azheng, I never thought of harming you or harming the Hou Mansion! Brother Qing is still in the Lu family, how could I do such a thing. I didn't know it would be like this."
Lu Zhengliu left with a cold face, leaving a warning to her before leaving: "Bao'er, don't violate the childhood friendship between you and me."
No one was allowed to untie her.
Ge Baoer was a little panicked. Will he really not miss his old relationship?
\
Lu Zhengliu went back to Yuxing Pavilion.
Zhuqing didn't sleep either. She didn't dare to sleep because she was afraid that something might happen to the old lady. If she needed her for something, she stayed in the room waiting for news.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Lu Zhengliu came first.
"Pour me a cup of tea."
Lu Zhengliu frowned and sat in the bamboo green room in despair.
Zhuqing handed over a cup of hot water and said, "It's too late. It's not good to drink tea. Your Majesty, drink something warm first to make your stomach feel better."
The service she served was very attentive.
Lu Zhengliu took the tea silently and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhu Qing was beside him and said softly: "Your Majesty, I would like to say a few words about today's matter."
Lu Zhengliu frowned, but did not stop her.
Zhu Qing continued: "My cousin is really scheming! You don't know that she not only picked a good time for you to go over and rescue her, but also interfered with the matter of you taking Mr. Li Qi to see Mrs. Lin for eye problems, and provoked you. The relationship with Madam.”
"Today, Master Qing and Master Changgong fought in front of the old lady and the ladies. Otherwise, who would have known that you ran to save your cousin?"
"You can't make a mistake even for a moment. If there's even the slightest difference, things won't break out."
"My cousin looks innocent and has never read a few books. She is like the female Zhuge in the inner house. Although she is under house arrest in the side courtyard, she still plans strategies and makes every move, and makes everyone happy."
"Your Majesty, I must be a little overthinking. How on earth did this girl Baoer coax the old lady to take her into the house? Is she really as lonely and helpless as the old lady said?"
"I always feel that this may not be the case."
Lu Zhengliu's heart suddenly sank.
Did he really find Ge Baoer by himself, or did Ge Baoer wait for Brother Qing to be old enough to remember and let him find him on purpose?
