Chapter 95
The Lu family's reputation can no longer withstand the abuse.
If she can be soft with Lu Zhengliu, Mrs. Lu certainly doesn't want to be tough.
She picked up the teacup, took a leisurely sip, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Do you know what Ge Baoer's jade pendant symbolizes?"
I am not worried at all that Lu Zhengliu is not curious.
As expected, he frowned and said, "Grandma, please stop being so pretentious and tell me what you have to say."
Mrs. Lu put down the tea cup and made a sound as it fell to the ground: "That is the jade pendant only owned by the mistress of Duke Xingguo!"
Lu Zhengliu was stunned, his cold eyes full of disbelief.
"Xingguo Duke's Mansion?"
He scoffed, not believing it at all.
Mrs. Lu ignored the truth and asked him, "If she is really the lost legitimate daughter of Duke Xingguo, will you write this and Li Shu or not?"
Lu Zhengliu murmured, and finally clenched his fists and said, "Don't write it!"
He said with disgust: "Because she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of the State, I will divorce my wife and marry another. What will people outside say about our Lu family? Can the Duke of Xingguo think highly of me?"
"Grandma. I don't want to live my life looking at other people's faces."
The Lin family has already made it difficult for the Lu family to hold its head high, and if the Xingguo Duke comes again, he will never be able to get ahead in his life.
"Grandma, the people in the Xingguo Palace have a reputation for being domineering, and they are not so easy to make friends with."
He frowned when he thought that he would be restricted by the Yue family everywhere in the future, and even interfere with his affairs in the back house.
No matter what he chooses, he feels that now is the best choice.
Mrs. Lu thought deeply about her grandson's words.
She was silent for a moment and said: "What you said is not unreasonable. But -"
"That's the Xingguo Duke's Mansion!"
Even if it is suppressed by the Chen family, Wudinghou Mansion is much stronger than it is now.
She asked: "Do you have a better way to get ahead now?"
Then he patiently advised: "If you want to go to higher places, you should first go to that higher place, and then you can show off your tactics! No matter how long the hands of Duke Xingguo are, how much can they control your son-in-law? This is the Lu family! You and I Father is still here!"
Yan's mother also came in and said, "Uncle, you don't have to think so far ahead. Let's get over the immediate difficulties first."
The Lu family's revocation of title is not just a matter of losing their salary. From now on, no one outside the family will buy into the family's business.
Mrs. Lu said dejectedly: "You can't tell it right now, but you will know it when the New Year comes. Life at home is getting worse day by day."
"The face of the mansion is lost today, but it will be missing tomorrow. In less than three or two years, Wudinghou's mansion will collapse!"
This made Lu Zhengliu very embarrassed.
He lowered his head, his face full of complacency and melancholy.
Mrs. Lu couldn't bear to see her grandson like this. She looked at the bruises on his face and asked with concern: "Did you quarrel with someone outside?"
Lu Zhengliu pursed his lips and said, "Who told you?"
"No one told me, so you just pretend I don't know?"
Mrs. Lu sighed and said, "Don't fall for this. The Lu family got through it seven or eight years ago, but they can't get over it now?"
Lu Zhengliu said: "Grandma, my grandson has not fallen."
"Then you go out to drink and quarrel with others?"
Lu Zhengliu explained helplessly: "My grandson has also considered the crisis you mentioned. Therefore, I want to recruit a few talented staff to build some businesses in the future. The government cannot sit back and rest on its laurels. Changgong and Brother Qing still need money to pave the way."
"I met a few helpless idiots by chance, and then..."
"Don't worry, I'm measured. I didn't cause any trouble."
Mrs. Lu was surprised.
Her grandson is more ambitious than she thought.
She could also imagine how her grandson had been wronged, so she said in a gentle tone: "What you think is good, but things are not that simple. If you really think about the house, think about it carefully." if."
Let Lin's daughter get married early.
Thinking of the anger he suffered outside, Lu Zhengliu became less determined, but in the end he did not relent and agreed to divorce.
After he left, Mrs. Lu's expression changed, and she became very cold, and said to Yan's mother: "What Zhengliu said is right. Is it because of my reputation that I reconciled with Yun Wan for the sake of the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Guogong?" Okay. He’s so stubborn – the situation can force him, but I can’t force him anymore.”
Yan's mother was shocked: "Old madam, do you want to..."
"Is there any medicine left?"
He was talking about the poison obtained in the nunnery.
Yan's mother said: "There are still more. Didn't my aunt stop taking the medicine? There is just no place to deal with it."
Mrs. Lu said slowly: "Keep it for now, don't be in a hurry, everything must be stable... You can't do anything that will cost you my wife and lose your troops."
At least it must be confirmed that Ge Baoer is really the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Xingguo.
Yan's mother wanted to persuade her, but she swallowed her words again.
This is true spoiling a concubine and destroying a wife!
It's not as simple as poisoning an aunt to death. If you're not careful, the Lu family will suffer a big disaster.

Chuisi Hall.
Pingye and Lin Yunwan said, "The uncle has already gone to the old lady's place."
Lin Yunwan responded.
He had already guessed that the old lady was going to force Lu Zhengliu to reconcile with her.
She closed her eyes and said softly: "If we reconcile peacefully like this, it will not harm the reputation of the Lin family and me."
But I didn't expect that it would be like this in the end.
Taoye said worriedly: "One woman can't care for two husbands. Grandma, Mrs. Lin will not allow you to marry again."
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "I don't want to marry again."
She said calmly: "It would be good to find a clean nunnery to spend time in. If Changgong can study in the Lin family, it will definitely be no worse than in the Lu family."
Life in the future will definitely be very dull, but being dull is not necessarily bad.
But she still felt uneasy.
The shamelessness of the Lu family is always beyond ordinary people.
When the old lady first sent her bird's nests and a few pieces of jewelry, her uneasiness was suddenly settled.
The girl said: "Grandma, the old lady asked these to be delivered. She also said that she still has a few good ginseng roots. If Mrs. Lin needs them, you can just go and get them."
Pingye was completely confused, so she asked the girl first: "Old Madam is such a good person, why do you want to give grandma bird's nests? Give these things?"
The girl said blankly: "Yes, the old lady asked the slave to deliver it."
"Pingye, step back."
Lin Yunwan grabbed the handkerchief and asked someone to collect it first, but she didn't dare to use it. She changed her clothes and went to see Mrs. Lu.
The old lady knew she was coming and why she was coming. She smiled lightly and said, "Yun Wan, if you think the Lu family can abandon you for a legitimate daughter of the Duke of Xingguo, then you are looking down on our Lu family. .”
Lin Yunwan's face was very cold.
It’s not that she looks down on them, it seems that she thinks too highly of the Lu family!
Mrs. Lu knew that she said this, but she didn't believe it. She said seriously: "As long as Zhengliu refuses to let you go, I, as a grandmother, will not force him to do anything."
"Yun Wan, don't say she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke. Even if the princess marries, my Lu family won't want her."
"I just hope that you and Zhengliu can run the family well now."
"Then if Aunt Ge is really the legitimate daughter of the Duke, if you have such a kind heart, letting her go will be a good deed for Long Gong and your mother. If you don't want to... then forget it!"
Lin Yunwan smiled coldly.
She didn't believe a word of it!
