Chapter 104
"Old lady, something big happened!"
On New Year's Eve, the Lu family set up a stage and invited a theater troupe to come over to perform operas. They also invited family members and relatives to come over for a New Year's Eve dinner.
Before Mrs. Lu went to the flower hall, she heard Yan's mother say something big.
There was a thump in her heart, and she didn't even have time to pick up a string of Buddhist beads. She frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Yan's mother said with an embarrassed look on her face: "The relatives and clan members in the flower hall are quarreling."
"You are celebrating the New Year, why are you making such a fuss!"
Yan's mother said: "It's not because of Aunt Ge!"
"for her?"
Mrs. Lu said nonchalantly: "Didn't you let her go out? What's the fuss about?"
Yan's mother said: "Those Lin clan people made a fuss outside some time ago, saying that the Lu family should not take this aunt back. They are afraid that they may have the idea of doting on their concubine and killing their wife again."
"Old madam, there is a lot of noise outside now. People in our own family are being pointed at and scolded when we go out. We are all so embarrassed!"
"I don't know why Aunt Ge was mentioned in the flower hall..."
Everyone has been dissatisfied since the two tribes negotiated peace and separation, so why not start a quarrel?
However, the Wuding Marquis Mansion is a direct descendant of the Lu family. Given their status here, everyone still cares about the harmony of the clan.
Yan's mother said worriedly: "If Aunt Ge is not dealt with, I'm afraid the peace in the clan will not last long..."
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly and said, "What do they know!"
"Let my wife suppress it first. When they know my plan in the future, they will understand my painstaking efforts."
"It's hard to face the situation now. It will only happen for a while. If we really get into the Xingguo Duke's mansion..."
Yan's mother felt very uneasy, and then thought about the poisonous soup she drank, so she said: "Old madam, I think our grandma is better, so the wealth of the Xingguo Duke's mansion cannot be easily achieved."
Mrs. Lu sighed: "Why didn't I know Yun Wan was good?"
"She doesn't agree with the Lu family anymore, so what if she is good? The better she is, the more she will be an obstacle to our Lu family!"
Yan's mother had nothing to say.
There was a quarrel outside Yu Shoutang. Mrs. Lu frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan's mother went out to take a look, and when she came back she said in panic: "They made a noise here! They said they wanted to send Aunt Ge away!"
"Nonsense!"
Mrs. Lu stood up and wanted to go out. She saw from the window that the door could hardly be closed. She also heard the voices of several shrewd women in the clan, as well as an old lady of the same generation as her...
Yan's mother said: "You'd better not go out."
Mrs. Lu really didn't dare to go out, so she came back and sat down. If a few shrews got into trouble and started fighting, she would be too shameless!
She lay down on the bed and closed her eyes: "Just say I'm sick and let them go. Don't eat this year's New Year's Eve dinner."
Yan's mother felt that hiding was not an option.
She said: "If you avoid tonight, what will you do when we pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year? What will the Lu family do?"
Mrs. Lu said: "Let's just say that I will be ill from today until the Chinese New Year. When the first ten days of the first lunar month come, the clan members' anger subsides, and the rumors outside stop, then my illness will be 'recovered'."
Yan’s mother didn’t even know what to say.
She works as a slave and doesn't talk much, but deep down she feels that the old lady doesn't care about face anymore!
"well."
After Yan's mother went out, she also sighed and shamelessly persuaded the Lu family to leave. She was also afraid of something happening during the Chinese New Year, so she went to tell Ge Baoer: "If you don't want anything to happen to my aunt, you'd better stay calm. There are dozens of Lu family members." Both eyes are staring at you!"
Ge Baoer's face was expressionless and he was focused on embroidery.
Yan's mother found it boring and left after finishing speaking.
Ge Baoer stabbed the embroidery needle hard on the embroidery surface and smiled coldly.
"You won't have a good death!"
The Lu family's affairs became a joke in the capital.
During the New Year's Eve of the first lunar month, Mrs. Lu still pretended to be ill and did not see the Lu family members. When relatives and neighbors came to visit her for New Year's greetings, they had to talk about the Lu family's affairs.
The servants of the Lu family feel ashamed when they go out now.
Yan's mother came over to serve the old lady and said to her, "I went to find the maids at Chuisi Hall and asked everyone I could. No one knows where grandma's jade pendant is hidden."
Still can't find it.
Mrs. Lu became upset after hearing this and said, "Where is she hiding? Does she have one with her?"
Forget about searching the house, if you want to search the mistress... that's impossible.
Yan's mother asked again: "Old madam, you also said that you want to give grandma some medicine, should you give it or not..."
"Of course we can't do it now!"
Mrs. Lu frowned and said: "Although the medicine is not easy to detect, if something happens to her now and a powerful doctor finds out about it, even if someone is found to be responsible, our Lu family will not be able to get rid of the murder of the mistress. reputation!"
"My aunt's affairs are all trivial. It's just a man's indulgence to talk about Po Tian. If something happens to the mistress, the Lu family will be in trouble!"
"Don't mention the medicine yet. Go and ask Zhengliu to come over."
"You and I can't get close to Yun Wan. Zhengliu is her husband and she can't hide from him."
"this……"
Seeing the obvious expression on the old lady's face, Yan's mother lowered her head and retreated.
Lu Zhengliu was in Yuxing Pavilion.
Speaking of which, he found it incredible that being here in Zhuqing was the most comfortable time for him in the house.
Zhuqing sent over a cup of tea: "Uncle, please drink some."
Lu Zhengliu took the tea and asked, "How do you feel about being pregnant with your child now?"
Zhuqing sat down and said with a smile: "I feel sleepy easily and want to vomit. I don't feel any other discomfort. Grandma takes good care of me."
Lu Zhengliu nodded.
Lin Yunwan...has always been very kind to Zhu Qing and the maids.
"Mother Yan."
Zhuqing saw Yan's mother coming and got up to greet her.
Yan's mother smiled and said: "Auntie, sit down quickly. I'll come over and have a few words with you."
Lu Zhengliu listened impatiently.
I was so upset this year, so I said, "If there's nothing important, don't talk about it."
Zhu Qing said very wisely: "I will go out and sweep some snow to save it."
Two maids served her out. Outside, they heard Lu Zhengliu losing his temper and smashing a cup.
Yan's mother was also startled and said, "Uncle, it was all the old lady's idea. Alas..."
Lu Zhengliu didn't want to speak.
He was looked down upon by others outside, and now he was ostracized no matter what he did. When he got home, he still had to listen to this and that!
Yan's mother also said helplessly: "Uncle, if you feel annoyed, just ask your own heart, which one do you want to be close to? Just don't listen to the old lady, just follow your own heart!"
"my heart?"
Lu Zhengliu sneered and said, "I want to go back eight years ago, is it possible?"
Eight years ago, he and Lin Yunwan were inseparable, playing the piano and the harp in harmony, and there was no frivolity in the family. The Lin family and the Lu family were very good friends.
"this……"
Yan's mother shook her head and sighed, how is this possible!
People can't have their cake and eat it too, now they can only choose one or the other.
"I will go to Yun Wan's place."
After Lu Zhengliu left Yuxing Pavilion, he decided to go to Chuisi Hall, not for the jade pendant, but just to get close to her.
When I walked to the door of Chuisi Hall, I saw the maids carrying luggage.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Zhengliu asked the maid coldly. He did not agree to divorce!
Pingye was frightened and said, "Uncle, the old lady has been ill since she was young and is not getting better now. Grandma is going to pray for the old lady at her nunnery."
Lu Zhengliu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was very alert.
The Lu family's nunnery is on the south side of Wuding Houfu Street. You have to leave the house. There is a small Buddhist hall at home, so why do you need to go out to pray?
Lin Yunwan came out of the Chuisi Hall, all her clothes were in plain colors, and she didn't have a hairpin on her head. She really looked like a widowed or a monk.
