Chapter 58
"Zhuqing, thank you for your hard work last night."
She served Lu Zhengliu last night, and before dawn, she went to take care of the old lady with Shoutang and Wei. She stayed up all night and came over to tell Lin Yunwan that the old lady had woken up.
Lin Yunwan told Pingye: "Ask the kitchen to send some breakfast."
"yes."
He opened the curtain and went out, letting the kitchen prepare breakfast for three people.
Zhuqing sat down and said, "Madam, please rest assured. There is nothing serious about the old lady. She is just anxious and has not hurt her roots."
The old lady's body is really strong.
Lin Yunwan said perfunctorily: "That's good." She didn't take it seriously.
Zhu Qing whispered: "Madam, I heard that the Xia family has started to pack up their things in the yard. I don't want to stay at the Lu family and want to leave."
"Yeah?"
This was a bit unexpected. Lin Yunwan didn't expect Mrs. Xia to have such a tough temper and not give the Lu family face.
She said: "If the old lady knows, I'm afraid she will still be angry."
Zhuqing didn't dare to show too much happiness.
But she will not be sad for the old lady. If it hadn't been for the old lady a few years ago, how could she have been driven to Zhuangzi? After all, the old lady didn't care about her.
She sighed, as if sad.
"Mother, aunt."
Lu Changgong came, with black eyes under his eyes, obviously he hadn't slept well.
Lin Yunwan said to him, "Come and sit." She looked into his eyes and asked, "You haven't slept all night? Why are your eyes bloodshot?"
Lu Changgong felt guilty.
He frowned and wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to say it.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yunwan asked.
Lu Changgong choked slightly: "It's all my son's fault. I shouldn't have fought with my brother." Hearing that the old lady had fainted, he was frightened to death. If the root cause is traced and the blame is placed on him, and then on his mother, he will be so sorry for his mother!
"This has nothing to do with you. It's all adults' business. Don't take it personally."
Despite Lin Yunwan's persuasion, Lu Changgong still felt guilty.
Zhuqing said helplessly: "Young master, please don't be sad. You are following other people's rules and you are still blaming yourself!"
"What's wrong?"
Lu Changgong raised his head and looked at Zhu Qing. He rarely looked at his aunt, after all she was his father's concubine.
Zhu Qing said quietly: "Young Master, can't you see that Young Master Qing deliberately led you to fight in front of Madam and Old Madam? No matter how much you don't want to fight, he will find a way to fight with you."
"Think about it carefully, why do you want to fight him?"
Lu Changgong touched the jade pendant on his waist, which was a initiation gift from his mother.
Lin Yunwan and Zhu Qing both looked over.
Zhuqing said "yo" and said, "The strings on the jade pendant have changed."
She thought for a while and then said: "Master Changgong, how much you cherish the jade pendant, you probably won't break the straps that Madam gave you. It must have been the straps that Brother Qing made yesterday."
Lu Changgong suddenly realized that Brother Qing did it on purpose!
At that time, Brother Qing refused to let him go to his mother to complain, and then pulled his jade pendant, which angered him. Every move he made was calculated.
He thought Brother Qing had really changed for the better.
He is overthinking it!
"Okay, don't think about the past anymore."
Chang Gong was just a child who was less than nine years old, and Lin Yunwan didn't want him to focus on the affairs of the inner house prematurely.
Unlike women, men can study and become officials, and they will be the leaders in the future.
For now, he still has to concentrate on his studies and gain some knowledge of human nature.
"yes."
Lu Changgong lowered his head and held the jade pendant tightly.
Lin Yunwan thought he had heard it, but she didn't expect that the child waited until Zhuqing returned to Yuxing Pavilion and asked her alone: "Mother, if your son retaliates with tooth for tooth, is he a bad learner?"
"What?"
Lu Changgong pursed his lips and said, "It's nothing, my son just said it casually."
Lin Yunwan was stunned for a moment, then understood and said to him: "You don't have to be like this, study hard first. With your intelligence, be careful and there will be nothing to worry about."
Lu Changgong raised his head and said calmly: "That's what mother said."
"This time it was his son who was stupid and got into his way. But if he doesn't know, it's not that his son doesn't know how to do it, he just doesn't want to be like him. He will use his son to embarrass his mother next time."
"Son, resign."
He turned around and went out, and in the back of the thin young man, Lin Yunwan actually saw a bit of him strategizing and making great changes in the future!
Taoye came over worriedly and said: "Madam, Master, he..."
Lin Yunwan raised her hand to interrupt her: "Let nature take its course. My father said when he was still alive that the most taboo thing about teaching and educating people is going against one's nature."
"Besides, this Hou Men is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones. He has the ability to protect himself, which is not a bad thing."
Taoye nodded.
Pingye didn't think there was any harm in doing it, so why did she only allow others to do mischief and not allow her eldest son to think of some tricks?
Three days later, Mrs. Lu improved a lot and called Lin Yunwan over to attend to her illness.
Mrs. Wei was waiting beside her, so Lin Yunwan didn't have to do anything at all.
Mrs. Lu took the medicine, leaned on the bed, and asked, "Why don't you see Jia'er?"
Even if the Xia family didn't come, why didn't Lu Jia come?
Mr. Wei was about to speak but stopped.
Although Mrs. Lu was worried, her lips turned white and she asked Lin Yunwan, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yunwan said: "Mrs. Xia has forbidden Auntie Jia's feet. The Xia family has also closed the gate of the courtyard and cannot leave the house. The Xia family's master and his son have gone out to find a house. After the deed is signed and the delivery is completed, they will move out."
"Why are you so anxious?"
Mrs. Lu was so anxious that she almost couldn't breathe again.
Yan's mother came over to cheer her up and comforted her: "It's always inconvenient for relatives to stay here. You need to take good care of yourself first."
Mrs. Wei curled her lips and said angrily: "It's not because I can't bear to see Miss Biao! Otherwise, why would I leave sooner rather than later, why would I leave now?"
Yan's mother was speechless and said angrily: "Madam, please stop saying a few words."
Do you still think the old lady is not sick enough?
Mrs. Lu had no intention of blaming her daughter-in-law. She only asked Lin Yunwan: "How was the banquet that day..."
Lin Yunwan was silent.
Nothing can make the old lady more panicked than letting her imagine.
Mrs. Lu was really upset: "What happened in the end, please tell me!"
Mrs. Wei pinched the handkerchief and said irritably: "What else can we do? You are already sick, who still wants to watch the show and get together? The women ate in a hurry and then left. The eldest master of the Xia family and the third master Jin didn't come at all. ”
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
Mrs. Lu frowned and shouted: "Yun Wan, help me, help me go to see Mrs. Xia. The Lu family cannot neglect relatives like this."
Lin Yunwan was too lazy to go over. She said, "What will the old lady say now?"
How to say?
Mrs. Lu was stunned and said she felt guilty for not being considerate at the banquet?
Lin Yunwan said slowly: "You know what the Xia family cares about. It's just an apology for the banquet, so there's no need."
"You should think about how to deal with Miss Cousin's matter. Only when her matter is dealt with, will the Xia family not look down upon the Lu family so much."
Wei gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, he was strangled to death!"
But this is not something she can decide.
Yan's mother glanced at Mrs. Wei, she really couldn't speak.
If it could be so easy to strangle him to death, why would the old lady bother?
