"Leave me alone, I want to continue sleeping."
Fu Ling had no choice but to ask Lu Wanxi for help, "Eldest girl, go and wake up the second girl!"
Lu Wanxi has already dressed up. Today she is wearing a light yellow skirt, which is fresh and elegant. She has a pair of white magnolia hairpins on her head, which is very beautiful.
Lu Wanxi had no choice but to lift her quilt. Lu Yanhua was tired yesterday and started to cheat this morning. He hugged the quilt tightly and refused to let go, "Sister! I beg you, sir, just let me continue to sleep for a while, just for a while, I beg you."
Lu Wanxi didn't let go, and the two of them were in a stalemate, "No, get up quickly, you have to hurry up. As I said, grandma is going to question us today, and you can't afford to stand still."
"I don't care, I just don't understand arranging flowers and ordering tea. Let me sleep a little longer, just for a little while—"
Lu Wanxi couldn't pull her any longer. She really had no strength and fell directly to the ground. Poria Gardenia hurried to help her, "Miss, are you okay?"
Lu Yanhua felt a lot lighter. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw her sister lying on the ground. She quickly crawled to the bed and asked, "Sister! Are you okay?"
Lu Wanxi deliberately sat on the ground, raised her head and asked, "Can't you get up?"
Lu Yanhua surrendered, "I'll get up, can't I get up?"
"It's almost there."
"The older girls are still more powerful. We girls are not afraid of anyone but the older girls."
Lu Yanhua had a bitter look on her face and had no choice but to get off the bed and said, "Who made me little?"
"hurry up."
After the two freshened up, they went to Tingyuxuan together, and Mrs. Ning Guogong was also there.
"Greetings to grandma."
"Okay, don't be too polite."
"Mother."
"aunt."
"Sit everyone!"
The two of them sat down opposite Mrs. Ning Guogong one after another. Mrs. Ning Guogong said: "Mother, next month is the hair-raising ceremony for Wanxi Yanhua. This is a major event in our family, and we need to handle it well."
"That's natural. We, the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, will naturally have a more grand ceremony."
"In a few days, my daughter-in-law will prepare the guest list and hand it over to my mother for inspection."
Mrs. Lu drank tea and nodded repeatedly. She was very satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law and felt at ease in doing things. "You can make your own decisions on these matters, and there is no need to report back to me. You are the mistress of the house now, so you should act like a mistress of the house."
"Daughter-in-law remembered."
"Besides, before the Lord went to court today, my second brother came and said that Aunt Liu and Yan Ru had realized their mistake and wanted to come to pay their respects to their mother."
Mrs. Lu's face suddenly changed, and she placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "Huh! He is really interested in them, mother and daughter. How many days has it been? I said that they are not allowed to come to the door again." My words fell on deaf ears.”
"I don't dare, of course I don't dare."
"You tell him that if he continues to be stubborn, don't recognize me as his mother. The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are completely separated. It's just a matter of a wall, so it's not troublesome. I'll take it as my right, without him as a son. "Old Mrs. Lu regretted that she should have dealt with that bitch long ago, so that these troubles would not have arisen.
"Mother calm down."
In front of the children, Old Mrs. Lu would not say anything. "Take the girl down for dinner."
Does Lu Yanhua still want to continue listening to gossip? But the old lady had already spoken, so she could only follow the maid down to have a meal.
Mrs. Ning Guogong comforted the old lady, "Mother, don't be too angry. Zuo is just a concubine. Why are you so angry?"
"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. There is no mistress in the Hou Mansion, and it is controlled by that bitch, making it a mess. No, if this continues, our Lu family will be destroyed sooner or later at her hands."
"Mother, what do you want to do?"
"Give the second string a second string."
"Continuation?" Mrs. Ning Guogong looked shocked. She was not worried about the new sister-in-law's entry into the family, which would threaten her. It's just that this is a continuation after all, and a girl from a good family is not willing to do it.
"Mother, although my second brother is still young, this continuation is..."
Old Mrs. Lu was not worried, she had already made a plan in her mind. "That's okay. The big families are not willing, but the small families are always willing. This time, I have to put an end to my worries."
"We will start looking for candidates right away. I still don't believe it. I went to the capital and couldn't find a woman who was willing to be the continuation of the Marquis."
"My daughter-in-law obeys."
Old Mrs. Lu was still angry when she thought about it. She had never suffered anything in her life, let alone been angry. My whole life has gone smoothly, but I didn't expect that when I get old, I will still be angry with my younger son's concubine.
After Lu Hongye left the morning court, he was coaxed by Aunt Liu Lu Yanru to come to listen to Yuxuan and apologize to the old lady.
Lu Hongye was a soft-spoken person, so he agreed after the mother and daughter acted coquettishly.
When they appeared outside Tingyuxuan, Tingyuxuan's maid saw them and couldn't stand Aunt Liu's charming tricks.
When Mrs. Lu found out about this, she was so angry that she threw the tea cup on the table. Mrs. Ning Guogong on the side also felt unworthy of Lu Hongye. Why was he so stunned by a woman? "Don't be angry, mother."
"Let them come in, I want to see what that bitch wants to do?"
"Yes!"
Lu Hongye took their mother and daughter into Tingyuxuan.
Lu Hongye walked in front, and Aunt Liu Lu Yanru followed behind. They really looked like a family of three who loved each other.
"Greetings to mother."
"Greetings to the old lady."
"Grandma Ci'an."
Seeing the broken tea cup on the ground, Lu Hongye immediately regretted it. "Mother, who are you angry with?"
"What do you say?"
"Children don't know."
"Come here! Get Mr. Liu and the third girl down for me." Old Mrs. Lu gave an order, and several women stepped forward and pressed them to the ground.
"Master Hou, save me."
"Father."
Lu Hongye looked at his mother, "What are you doing, mother?"
"What to do? I want to ask what do you want to do? Have I ever said that they are not allowed to step into the Duke's Mansion again. Today you ignored the rules I set and slapped me in the face. Do I still want to do this? Is it possible for you, Marquis of Xiangyang, to save face for a cheap concubine?" Old Mrs. Lu's lips trembled with anger, her breathing became rapid, and she coughed repeatedly.
Mrs. Ning Guogong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, help her calm down, and caress her chest gently. "Second brother, do you want to make your mother angry to death? They mother and daughter are so ignorant of the rules and disrespectful to their mother. Do you still want to continue to defend them?"
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"Master Hou, you have to save me! Master Hou—"
"Father, Yanru is your most beloved daughter. Father—"
Old Mrs. Lu calmed down a little and continued: "I want to see if you dare to stop me today, and if you dare to stop your mother."
Someone went to get the family law. Fan Yanglu's family had a strict family tradition and had a punishment system for female relatives. The lips were severely beaten with a ruler. Those who received this severe punishment could hardly speak.
"Mother, they are not guilty enough."
"If you dare to plead for them again, you don't have to recognize me as your mother. Don't do anything yet!"
"Yes!"
Ting Yu Xuan made such a big noise, which naturally alerted Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua who were attending class in Ting Yu Xuan. Hearing the whispers of the female envoy outside, Lu Yanhua's soul followed him. After all, who can resist the temptation of gossip?
"What's going on outside here?"
A female envoy came in to report, "Go back to my lady, the Marquis brought Aunt Liu and the third girl to pay her respects to the old lady. She angered the old lady and took action against the family."
Lu Yanhua's expression of excitement almost made her laugh out loud. How could such a breaking news be omitted from a melon-eater like her? But she can't act too much, after all, there is still mama here.
Lu Wanxi didn't care much, but the heart-wrenching cry was indeed terrifying.
Lu Yanhua now really wants to rush over, rush to the first melon-eating scene, and watch the excitement. But seeing the atmosphere, it seems that this is not possible.
Hearing Yuxuan's side, Aunt Liu's shouts from Lu Yanru made Lu Hongye very distressed. He knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Lu, "Mother, my child, please stop!"
Old Mrs. Lu looked at the son who had been deceived by a woman and was very disappointed in him. She pushed him away and cursed: "I don't have a son like you. From now on, you will no longer be my son. Don't you like That bitch? Hengsong doesn’t like Yan Hua, the legitimate daughter, but she likes the bastard son and daughter she gave birth to.”
"Okay! I will sever ties with you today. I don't care whether you want to make her your wife or live with her in the future."
"Mother-"
Mrs. Ning Guogong has already sent someone to call Ning Guogong. She is now looking forward to her husband coming over quickly, otherwise she is really afraid that something will happen to the old lady.
Ning Guogong got the news and hurried here. As soon as I entered Tingyuxuan, I heard heartbreaking sounds.
The moment Mrs. Ning Guogong saw Ning Guogong, she finally saw her savior. "Master."
"Mother."
"Boss, hurry up and drive this unfilial bastard out of the Duke's mansion. From now on, I will never have this son again."
"Don't be angry, mother, Hong Ye is just confused for a moment."
As soon as Ning Guogong arrived, he stabilized the situation. Old Mrs. Lu went back to the inner room to rest. Lu Hongye was still kneeling on the ground and did not stop doing his homework.
Duke Ning Guo was also greatly disappointed in his younger brother.
"Get up! The man has gold at his knees, don't act like a coward."
Ning Guogong saw that the mouths of Aunt Liu and her daughter were already rotten, so he stopped. "Stop it now!"
Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru were speechless, and their tears flowed on the wounds, which was even more painful. The mother and daughter hugged each other and looked at each other with pity and adoration.
"What does mother mean?" Duke Ning asked his wife.
Mrs. Ning Guogong repeated the old lady's intention, "My mother's intention is to renew my second brother's string. As for the Liu family and the third girl, my mother said that they are not allowed to enter the Lan Yue Pavilion in the Hou Mansion. No one is allowed to visit before the third girl reaches her hairpin." Take one step out of Lan Yue Pavilion. My second brother is even more forbidden to take one step into Lan Yue Pavilion, otherwise the Liu family will be sold out."
"Second brother, Hengdong and Yanru are both descendants of the Lu family of Fan Yang. Mother will never let you and your son be separated. But the Liu family is just a concubine. At best, she is half a master. At worst, she is just a slave. It's very easy to sell her."
"You understand what your sister-in-law said." Ning Guogong looked at Lu Hongye, who nodded helplessly.
"Now that we understand everything, let's do what mother wants! Someone, take Mrs. Liu and the third girl down."
Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru shook their heads desperately and wanted to open their mouths, but their lips were rotten and the pain was terrible, so they did not dare to move at all.
"Uh-huh-"
Lu Hongye didn't say a word from beginning to end, letting his brother do whatever he wanted. After taking them away, Ning Guogong said to his younger brother: "After so many years of reading and learning a lot of principles, what have you learned? Do you think that because you have made great contributions to the Lu family of Fan Yang, His Majesty will personally designate you as the Marquis of Xiangyang?" , you can get rid of the family and do whatever you want, regardless of the consequences?"
"Do you think that you are here today, being appreciated by His Majesty and holding a high position because of your own hard work? Do you think that you can fly now that your wings have hardened? There are many people who work harder and are more talented than you. But. But The reason why His Majesty prefers you is because your surname is Fan Yanglu. After enjoying the glory brought to you by Fan Yanglu, you should also protect the reputation of our Fan Yanglu family with all your heart."
"You can't help but understand the principle of both prosperity and loss. Everyone is telling you that Mrs. Liu is a coquettish woman, but you have no doubts about her. So many people, everyone can see it, but you can't. Miss you? Are you really blind or pretending to be blind?"
"When my sister-in-law was alive, did she ever do anything to make me sorry for you, sorry for Fan Yanglu, or sorry for the children? But how did you treat her? She is your married wife, how did you treat her? How did you deal with her? Song and Yanhua’s?”
"Unkind as a father, unkind as a husband. This is how you have glorified the lintel of my Fanyang Lu family. I have been giving you opportunities, waiting for you to change your mind and come back. But what did you do? Repeatedly indulged and pampered, Yanru How did you get raised by Mrs. Liu? The day before yesterday, she pushed Wanxi Yanhua into sex, and I didn’t say anything. Was this to save face for you? "
The more Ning Guogong talked, the more excited he became, and he suddenly said all the words he had suppressed in his heart for more than ten years.
Lu Hongye was ashamed of himself. He had been undisciplined since he was a child and didn't like strict rules, so he also didn't like his first wife who followed the rules. Aunt Liu is passionate, lively and unruly, which coincides with him.
"Brother, I..."
"No one can change the decision made by mother. Just listen to mother's arrangements and prepare to renew your marriage! If you continue to be stubborn, I guarantee that you will sell Mrs. Liu, and Yanru will marry her far away. , you will never see them again in this life. Think about it for yourself!"
"Brother, I don't understand. What happened to their mother and daughter?"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Ning Guogong couldn't bear it anymore and directly reached out and punched him. Mrs. Ning Guogong, who was standing aside, did not stop him and clapped her hands in her heart, saying it was a good fight.
"You bastard! You pushed Wanxi Yanhua into the water, and you are so cruel and ruthless at such a young age. What else happened? What did you say happened? If this spreads out, the reputation of our Fanyang Lu family will be ruined. The reputation of all the female members of the Lu family will also be ruined. Well, Hengbai, Hengfeng, Hengsong, Hengdong, which other family is willing to marry their daughter over?"
"If your children's marriage is ruined, what will happen to your and my career? What will happen to the entire Fanyang Lu family? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Listen to me clearly. If you let me know that you secretly visited their mother and daughter, don't blame me for not caring about our brotherhood. Even if you break up with me, I will send them away."
Mrs. Ning Guogong couldn't stand it any longer, and earnestly persuaded her: "I'm talking about my second brother! What's so good about that Liu family? How can he compare with my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law comes from a well-known family. After marrying you, she will be filial to her parents-in-law. Be considerate of your husband and discipline your children, but what exactly is it that makes you unhappy?"
"That Mr. Liu, besides giving you ecstasy, what else can he do? Why are you so stubborn?"
"Sister-in-law, she comes from a humble background, so she naturally wants to rely on me. Who else can she rely on besides me?"
"Yes! She comes from a humble background, but is this the reason for her pampering and willfulness? There are many female servants in our house who are of lower origin than her. Are everyone like her?"
"Okay! You said you like her for being unruly and lively and cheerful. But let me ask you, is Yan Hua the same? But why can she please her mother and everyone, but Liu can't. Origin It’s low, but it’s true that his character is bad.”
Ning Guogong and his wife said that Lu Hongye had nothing to say. He just didn't want to admit that the person he had liked for many years was the one they said had evil intentions and evil intentions. He didn't want to admit that he was wrong, or that he was blind.
"Second brother! Mother has asked me to arrange a marriage for you. A wealthy family is unwilling to marry their daughter, but a small family will naturally be willing. When Wanxi Yanhua has passed the hairpin ceremony, I will prepare your marriage. Marriage. Don’t forget that Wanxi is going to be the Crown Princess, and even Yan Hua can become the Princess. If this matter comes to His Majesty and ruins Wan Xi and Yan Hua’s marriage, your eldest brother and I will definitely All the blame, all the hatred, is to be blamed on the Liu family and her daughter. You should think it over yourself!"
Lu Hongye finally agreed, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
"The most important thing right now is Wanxi and Yanhua's hairpin ceremony. Please listen to me clearly. If Liu and Yanru have any evil intentions again, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know my methods."
"yes, Sir."
"Huh!" Ning Guogong threw up his sleeves and left, going to the inner room to visit the old lady.
Mrs. Ning Guo Gong sighed, shook her head repeatedly, and followed Ning Guo Gong to the inner room.
On the other hand, Lu Yanhua was still feeling sad about not being able to eat the melon, her soul drifted outside, and she accidentally knocked the tea cup over to the ground.
This movement also attracted Grandma over.
Grandma shook her head repeatedly with a look of helplessness on her face.
Lu Yanhua could only smile naively, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry! Mom, I'll get it done right away."
Mammy looked at Lu Wanxi and then at Lu Yanhua. They were both girls raised by Mrs. Lu. How could this be so bad?
"It's not okay for a girl to go to the talent show like this. If she doesn't want a good future for herself, she has to do something for the Fan Yang Lu family."
Lu Yanhua naturally understood what she meant. The ancients paid most attention to family interests. "I understand what grandma means."
"Second girl, just understand, let's continue!"
Lu Yanhua's back hurt from sitting. She really wanted to lie down and take a nap. She was so tired.
"Okay, Mommy."
Finally, the morning classes ended and it was time for lunch.
Lu Wanxi, Lu Yanhua and Mrs. Lu were accompanied by Mrs. Ning Guogong, Mrs. Ning Guogong and Lu Hongye for dinner.
Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua remained silent, minding their own meals. The table was quiet, and they really managed to eat without speaking.
Lu Yanhua's meal was very dull, her appetite was reduced, and her appetite was gone. However, this large family really pays attention to rules. When dining with the elders, they don't have to pick up the food themselves. The female servants do it for them.
After finishing the meal, I rinsed my mouth. Only then did Mrs. Lu say: "You can stay here tonight! Don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Go and clean up the Fanxing Pavilion so that the Marquis can stay tonight."
"Yes!"
Lu Hongye had no room to refuse, so he could only nod and agree. "Yes! Mother."
"It just so happens that Yan Hua is here, tell her your decision in person." Although Mrs. Lu's move is a bit cruel, since she has taken this step, Yan Hua will know sooner or later.
Lu Yanhua was confused. What does this have to do with her? Is it possible that Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru confused right and wrong and wronged themselves?
Lu Hongye spoke slowly, "Yan Hua, my father is going to renew his marriage."
Lu Yanhua naturally knew what the continuation of strings meant, but he was still shocked and couldn't hold it back, "What? Continuation of strings?"
Mrs. Lu was worried that Yan Hua would be irritated, so she quickly explained: "Yan Hua, this is what my grandmother meant. The Marquis Mansion needs a mistress, and your father also needs a good wife and mother."
Under the table, Lu Wanxi kicked Lu Yanhua with her foot, and Lu Yanhua understood what she meant. I should shed a few tears first to make Lu Hongye feel distressed, and then agree obediently and sensibly.
Lu Yanhua's tears fell down as she said that. It would be a pity for her not to act now. The tears fell right away.
When everyone saw Lu Yanhua crying, their hearts tightened. Mrs. Ning Guogong immediately stood up and went to comfort her, "Yan Hua, it's okay. Even if your father remarries, your grandmother, uncles, aunts, and your father will still love you as much as before. Your grandmother is right, the Marquis Mansion needs A mistress, your father needs a good wife and mother. You don’t want that Liu to stay with your father and be deceived by her, right?"
Lu Yanhua knew how to give up when things were good, and nodded repeatedly, "Yan Hua knows, and I listen to my grandmother." But after saying that, she shed a few more tears, which made Old Mrs. Lu feel bad.
Old Mrs. Lu had no choice but to do so. She loved her two granddaughters Wanxi Yanhua the most and couldn't bear their sadness. But for the future of the Fan Yang Lu family, I had to do this, and I could only feel wronged by Yan Hua.
Lu Yanhua's crying was a blessing in disguise. She didn't have to go to class for the next two days.
After finishing the meal, Lu Wanxi accompanied Lu Yanhua and left Tingyuxuan and returned to Ningxiang Courtyard.
On the way back, Lu Yanhua kept suppressing the joy in her heart, "Sister! This is great. After two days of vacation, I can finally rest."
"You've only been on the job for a day and a half, and you've got two days off. Don't get an advantage and act like a good boy."
"No way? But in this situation, the second string needs to be renewed. Where is the Liu family? How to deal with it?"
Lu Wanxi shook her head, "I don't know, but it seems to be quite serious."
"This rich family is so good! They are already old and they still have a relationship with a teenage girl, as expected!"
"Please keep your voice down, are you still outside?"
"understood."
The two of them returned to Ningxiang Courtyard and distributed Poria, Gardenia, and others. Only then did the two of them dare to talk to each other, "Sister! What kind of woman do you think your father will marry? If she is a few years older than me, or as old as me, then I will still call her mother. This I can't scream."
"You have to bark even if you don't bark. This is etiquette."
"Sigh~ If it were my dad, he would not be far from Guixi, and my mom would probably be on her way to kill my dad with a knife." Lu Yanhua's parents have a very good relationship. They have similar personalities. Likes to be noisy. But the two are very affectionate. Lu Yanhua is a child who grew up in love, so she is willful, because there are always people who will pamper her. But she is also everyone's pistachio, repaying everyone who loves her deeply.
"Uncle and aunt have been quarreling all their lives, but the more they quarrel, the better the relationship becomes. This kind of love is really rare."
"I guess they are just used to noisy with each other, and they feel unhappy if they don't quarrel for a day."
"That's true. Maybe love will disappear, but habits won't!"
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she felt something was wrong and looked at Lu Wanxi meaningfully.
Lu Wanxi felt ill-intentioned when she saw her look in her eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You sound like you have had this kind of experience before. You must be secretly hiding from me that you are in love with someone, right?"
"What are you talking about? Who should I fall in love with?"
Lu Yanhua blurted out, "Yun Zhifan! You two are both top academics. You say the school belle, he is the school belle. Everyone says you two are made for each other. Isn't this true?"
"Are you making up a story? Why would I fall in love with him?"
Fu Ling had no choice but to ask Lu Wanxi for help, "Eldest girl, go and wake up the second girl!"
Lu Wanxi has already dressed up. Today she is wearing a light yellow skirt, which is fresh and elegant. She has a pair of white magnolia hairpins on her head, which is very beautiful.
Lu Wanxi had no choice but to lift her quilt. Lu Yanhua was tired yesterday and started to cheat this morning. He hugged the quilt tightly and refused to let go, "Sister! I beg you, sir, just let me continue to sleep for a while, just for a while, I beg you."
Lu Wanxi didn't let go, and the two of them were in a stalemate, "No, get up quickly, you have to hurry up. As I said, grandma is going to question us today, and you can't afford to stand still."
"I don't care, I just don't understand arranging flowers and ordering tea. Let me sleep a little longer, just for a little while—"
Lu Wanxi couldn't pull her any longer. She really had no strength and fell directly to the ground. Poria Gardenia hurried to help her, "Miss, are you okay?"
Lu Yanhua felt a lot lighter. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw her sister lying on the ground. She quickly crawled to the bed and asked, "Sister! Are you okay?"
Lu Wanxi deliberately sat on the ground, raised her head and asked, "Can't you get up?"
Lu Yanhua surrendered, "I'll get up, can't I get up?"
"It's almost there."
"The older girls are still more powerful. We girls are not afraid of anyone but the older girls."
Lu Yanhua had a bitter look on her face and had no choice but to get off the bed and said, "Who made me little?"
"hurry up."
After the two freshened up, they went to Tingyuxuan together, and Mrs. Ning Guogong was also there.
"Greetings to grandma."
"Okay, don't be too polite."
"Mother."
"aunt."
"Sit everyone!"
The two of them sat down opposite Mrs. Ning Guogong one after another. Mrs. Ning Guogong said: "Mother, next month is the hair-raising ceremony for Wanxi Yanhua. This is a major event in our family, and we need to handle it well."
"That's natural. We, the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, will naturally have a more grand ceremony."
"In a few days, my daughter-in-law will prepare the guest list and hand it over to my mother for inspection."
Mrs. Lu drank tea and nodded repeatedly. She was very satisfied with this eldest daughter-in-law and felt at ease in doing things. "You can make your own decisions on these matters, and there is no need to report back to me. You are the mistress of the house now, so you should act like a mistress of the house."
"Daughter-in-law remembered."
"Besides, before the Lord went to court today, my second brother came and said that Aunt Liu and Yan Ru had realized their mistake and wanted to come to pay their respects to their mother."
Mrs. Lu's face suddenly changed, and she placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "Huh! He is really interested in them, mother and daughter. How many days has it been? I said that they are not allowed to come to the door again." My words fell on deaf ears.”
"I don't dare, of course I don't dare."
"You tell him that if he continues to be stubborn, don't recognize me as his mother. The Duke's Mansion and the Marquis' Mansion are completely separated. It's just a matter of a wall, so it's not troublesome. I'll take it as my right, without him as a son. "Old Mrs. Lu regretted that she should have dealt with that bitch long ago, so that these troubles would not have arisen.
"Mother calm down."
In front of the children, Old Mrs. Lu would not say anything. "Take the girl down for dinner."
Does Lu Yanhua still want to continue listening to gossip? But the old lady had already spoken, so she could only follow the maid down to have a meal.
Mrs. Ning Guogong comforted the old lady, "Mother, don't be too angry. Zuo is just a concubine. Why are you so angry?"
"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest. There is no mistress in the Hou Mansion, and it is controlled by that bitch, making it a mess. No, if this continues, our Lu family will be destroyed sooner or later at her hands."
"Mother, what do you want to do?"
"Give the second string a second string."
"Continuation?" Mrs. Ning Guogong looked shocked. She was not worried about the new sister-in-law's entry into the family, which would threaten her. It's just that this is a continuation after all, and a girl from a good family is not willing to do it.
"Mother, although my second brother is still young, this continuation is..."
Old Mrs. Lu was not worried, she had already made a plan in her mind. "That's okay. The big families are not willing, but the small families are always willing. This time, I have to put an end to my worries."
"We will start looking for candidates right away. I still don't believe it. I went to the capital and couldn't find a woman who was willing to be the continuation of the Marquis."
"My daughter-in-law obeys."
Old Mrs. Lu was still angry when she thought about it. She had never suffered anything in her life, let alone been angry. My whole life has gone smoothly, but I didn't expect that when I get old, I will still be angry with my younger son's concubine.
After Lu Hongye left the morning court, he was coaxed by Aunt Liu Lu Yanru to come to listen to Yuxuan and apologize to the old lady.
Lu Hongye was a soft-spoken person, so he agreed after the mother and daughter acted coquettishly.
When they appeared outside Tingyuxuan, Tingyuxuan's maid saw them and couldn't stand Aunt Liu's charming tricks.
When Mrs. Lu found out about this, she was so angry that she threw the tea cup on the table. Mrs. Ning Guogong on the side also felt unworthy of Lu Hongye. Why was he so stunned by a woman? "Don't be angry, mother."
"Let them come in, I want to see what that bitch wants to do?"
"Yes!"
Lu Hongye took their mother and daughter into Tingyuxuan.
Lu Hongye walked in front, and Aunt Liu Lu Yanru followed behind. They really looked like a family of three who loved each other.
"Greetings to mother."
"Greetings to the old lady."
"Grandma Ci'an."
Seeing the broken tea cup on the ground, Lu Hongye immediately regretted it. "Mother, who are you angry with?"
"What do you say?"
"Children don't know."
"Come here! Get Mr. Liu and the third girl down for me." Old Mrs. Lu gave an order, and several women stepped forward and pressed them to the ground.
"Master Hou, save me."
"Father."
Lu Hongye looked at his mother, "What are you doing, mother?"
"What to do? I want to ask what do you want to do? Have I ever said that they are not allowed to step into the Duke's Mansion again. Today you ignored the rules I set and slapped me in the face. Do I still want to do this? Is it possible for you, Marquis of Xiangyang, to save face for a cheap concubine?" Old Mrs. Lu's lips trembled with anger, her breathing became rapid, and she coughed repeatedly.
Mrs. Ning Guogong hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, help her calm down, and caress her chest gently. "Second brother, do you want to make your mother angry to death? They mother and daughter are so ignorant of the rules and disrespectful to their mother. Do you still want to continue to defend them?"
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"Master Hou, you have to save me! Master Hou—"
"Father, Yanru is your most beloved daughter. Father—"
Old Mrs. Lu calmed down a little and continued: "I want to see if you dare to stop me today, and if you dare to stop your mother."
Someone went to get the family law. Fan Yanglu's family had a strict family tradition and had a punishment system for female relatives. The lips were severely beaten with a ruler. Those who received this severe punishment could hardly speak.
"Mother, they are not guilty enough."
"If you dare to plead for them again, you don't have to recognize me as your mother. Don't do anything yet!"
"Yes!"
Ting Yu Xuan made such a big noise, which naturally alerted Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua who were attending class in Ting Yu Xuan. Hearing the whispers of the female envoy outside, Lu Yanhua's soul followed him. After all, who can resist the temptation of gossip?
"What's going on outside here?"
A female envoy came in to report, "Go back to my lady, the Marquis brought Aunt Liu and the third girl to pay her respects to the old lady. She angered the old lady and took action against the family."
Lu Yanhua's expression of excitement almost made her laugh out loud. How could such a breaking news be omitted from a melon-eater like her? But she can't act too much, after all, there is still mama here.
Lu Wanxi didn't care much, but the heart-wrenching cry was indeed terrifying.
Lu Yanhua now really wants to rush over, rush to the first melon-eating scene, and watch the excitement. But seeing the atmosphere, it seems that this is not possible.
Hearing Yuxuan's side, Aunt Liu's shouts from Lu Yanru made Lu Hongye very distressed. He knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Lu, "Mother, my child, please stop!"
Old Mrs. Lu looked at the son who had been deceived by a woman and was very disappointed in him. She pushed him away and cursed: "I don't have a son like you. From now on, you will no longer be my son. Don't you like That bitch? Hengsong doesn’t like Yan Hua, the legitimate daughter, but she likes the bastard son and daughter she gave birth to.”
"Okay! I will sever ties with you today. I don't care whether you want to make her your wife or live with her in the future."
"Mother-"
Mrs. Ning Guogong has already sent someone to call Ning Guogong. She is now looking forward to her husband coming over quickly, otherwise she is really afraid that something will happen to the old lady.
Ning Guogong got the news and hurried here. As soon as I entered Tingyuxuan, I heard heartbreaking sounds.
The moment Mrs. Ning Guogong saw Ning Guogong, she finally saw her savior. "Master."
"Mother."
"Boss, hurry up and drive this unfilial bastard out of the Duke's mansion. From now on, I will never have this son again."
"Don't be angry, mother, Hong Ye is just confused for a moment."
As soon as Ning Guogong arrived, he stabilized the situation. Old Mrs. Lu went back to the inner room to rest. Lu Hongye was still kneeling on the ground and did not stop doing his homework.
Duke Ning Guo was also greatly disappointed in his younger brother.
"Get up! The man has gold at his knees, don't act like a coward."
Ning Guogong saw that the mouths of Aunt Liu and her daughter were already rotten, so he stopped. "Stop it now!"
Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru were speechless, and their tears flowed on the wounds, which was even more painful. The mother and daughter hugged each other and looked at each other with pity and adoration.
"What does mother mean?" Duke Ning asked his wife.
Mrs. Ning Guogong repeated the old lady's intention, "My mother's intention is to renew my second brother's string. As for the Liu family and the third girl, my mother said that they are not allowed to enter the Lan Yue Pavilion in the Hou Mansion. No one is allowed to visit before the third girl reaches her hairpin." Take one step out of Lan Yue Pavilion. My second brother is even more forbidden to take one step into Lan Yue Pavilion, otherwise the Liu family will be sold out."
"Second brother, Hengdong and Yanru are both descendants of the Lu family of Fan Yang. Mother will never let you and your son be separated. But the Liu family is just a concubine. At best, she is half a master. At worst, she is just a slave. It's very easy to sell her."
"You understand what your sister-in-law said." Ning Guogong looked at Lu Hongye, who nodded helplessly.
"Now that we understand everything, let's do what mother wants! Someone, take Mrs. Liu and the third girl down."
Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru shook their heads desperately and wanted to open their mouths, but their lips were rotten and the pain was terrible, so they did not dare to move at all.
"Uh-huh-"
Lu Hongye didn't say a word from beginning to end, letting his brother do whatever he wanted. After taking them away, Ning Guogong said to his younger brother: "After so many years of reading and learning a lot of principles, what have you learned? Do you think that because you have made great contributions to the Lu family of Fan Yang, His Majesty will personally designate you as the Marquis of Xiangyang?" , you can get rid of the family and do whatever you want, regardless of the consequences?"
"Do you think that you are here today, being appreciated by His Majesty and holding a high position because of your own hard work? Do you think that you can fly now that your wings have hardened? There are many people who work harder and are more talented than you. But. But The reason why His Majesty prefers you is because your surname is Fan Yanglu. After enjoying the glory brought to you by Fan Yanglu, you should also protect the reputation of our Fan Yanglu family with all your heart."
"You can't help but understand the principle of both prosperity and loss. Everyone is telling you that Mrs. Liu is a coquettish woman, but you have no doubts about her. So many people, everyone can see it, but you can't. Miss you? Are you really blind or pretending to be blind?"
"When my sister-in-law was alive, did she ever do anything to make me sorry for you, sorry for Fan Yanglu, or sorry for the children? But how did you treat her? She is your married wife, how did you treat her? How did you deal with her? Song and Yanhua’s?”
"Unkind as a father, unkind as a husband. This is how you have glorified the lintel of my Fanyang Lu family. I have been giving you opportunities, waiting for you to change your mind and come back. But what did you do? Repeatedly indulged and pampered, Yanru How did you get raised by Mrs. Liu? The day before yesterday, she pushed Wanxi Yanhua into sex, and I didn’t say anything. Was this to save face for you? "
The more Ning Guogong talked, the more excited he became, and he suddenly said all the words he had suppressed in his heart for more than ten years.
Lu Hongye was ashamed of himself. He had been undisciplined since he was a child and didn't like strict rules, so he also didn't like his first wife who followed the rules. Aunt Liu is passionate, lively and unruly, which coincides with him.
"Brother, I..."
"No one can change the decision made by mother. Just listen to mother's arrangements and prepare to renew your marriage! If you continue to be stubborn, I guarantee that you will sell Mrs. Liu, and Yanru will marry her far away. , you will never see them again in this life. Think about it for yourself!"
"Brother, I don't understand. What happened to their mother and daughter?"
Seeing that he was still stubborn, Ning Guogong couldn't bear it anymore and directly reached out and punched him. Mrs. Ning Guogong, who was standing aside, did not stop him and clapped her hands in her heart, saying it was a good fight.
"You bastard! You pushed Wanxi Yanhua into the water, and you are so cruel and ruthless at such a young age. What else happened? What did you say happened? If this spreads out, the reputation of our Fanyang Lu family will be ruined. The reputation of all the female members of the Lu family will also be ruined. Well, Hengbai, Hengfeng, Hengsong, Hengdong, which other family is willing to marry their daughter over?"
"If your children's marriage is ruined, what will happen to your and my career? What will happen to the entire Fanyang Lu family? Have you ever thought about it?"
"Listen to me clearly. If you let me know that you secretly visited their mother and daughter, don't blame me for not caring about our brotherhood. Even if you break up with me, I will send them away."
Mrs. Ning Guogong couldn't stand it any longer, and earnestly persuaded her: "I'm talking about my second brother! What's so good about that Liu family? How can he compare with my sister-in-law? My sister-in-law comes from a well-known family. After marrying you, she will be filial to her parents-in-law. Be considerate of your husband and discipline your children, but what exactly is it that makes you unhappy?"
"That Mr. Liu, besides giving you ecstasy, what else can he do? Why are you so stubborn?"
"Sister-in-law, she comes from a humble background, so she naturally wants to rely on me. Who else can she rely on besides me?"
"Yes! She comes from a humble background, but is this the reason for her pampering and willfulness? There are many female servants in our house who are of lower origin than her. Are everyone like her?"
"Okay! You said you like her for being unruly and lively and cheerful. But let me ask you, is Yan Hua the same? But why can she please her mother and everyone, but Liu can't. Origin It’s low, but it’s true that his character is bad.”
Ning Guogong and his wife said that Lu Hongye had nothing to say. He just didn't want to admit that the person he had liked for many years was the one they said had evil intentions and evil intentions. He didn't want to admit that he was wrong, or that he was blind.
"Second brother! Mother has asked me to arrange a marriage for you. A wealthy family is unwilling to marry their daughter, but a small family will naturally be willing. When Wanxi Yanhua has passed the hairpin ceremony, I will prepare your marriage. Marriage. Don’t forget that Wanxi is going to be the Crown Princess, and even Yan Hua can become the Princess. If this matter comes to His Majesty and ruins Wan Xi and Yan Hua’s marriage, your eldest brother and I will definitely All the blame, all the hatred, is to be blamed on the Liu family and her daughter. You should think it over yourself!"
Lu Hongye finally agreed, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
"The most important thing right now is Wanxi and Yanhua's hairpin ceremony. Please listen to me clearly. If Liu and Yanru have any evil intentions again, don't blame me for being ruthless. You know my methods."
"yes, Sir."
"Huh!" Ning Guogong threw up his sleeves and left, going to the inner room to visit the old lady.
Mrs. Ning Guo Gong sighed, shook her head repeatedly, and followed Ning Guo Gong to the inner room.
On the other hand, Lu Yanhua was still feeling sad about not being able to eat the melon, her soul drifted outside, and she accidentally knocked the tea cup over to the ground.
This movement also attracted Grandma over.
Grandma shook her head repeatedly with a look of helplessness on her face.
Lu Yanhua could only smile naively, feeling embarrassed. "I'm sorry! Mom, I'll get it done right away."
Mammy looked at Lu Wanxi and then at Lu Yanhua. They were both girls raised by Mrs. Lu. How could this be so bad?
"It's not okay for a girl to go to the talent show like this. If she doesn't want a good future for herself, she has to do something for the Fan Yang Lu family."
Lu Yanhua naturally understood what she meant. The ancients paid most attention to family interests. "I understand what grandma means."
"Second girl, just understand, let's continue!"
Lu Yanhua's back hurt from sitting. She really wanted to lie down and take a nap. She was so tired.
"Okay, Mommy."
Finally, the morning classes ended and it was time for lunch.
Lu Wanxi, Lu Yanhua and Mrs. Lu were accompanied by Mrs. Ning Guogong, Mrs. Ning Guogong and Lu Hongye for dinner.
Lu Wanxi and Lu Yanhua remained silent, minding their own meals. The table was quiet, and they really managed to eat without speaking.
Lu Yanhua's meal was very dull, her appetite was reduced, and her appetite was gone. However, this large family really pays attention to rules. When dining with the elders, they don't have to pick up the food themselves. The female servants do it for them.
After finishing the meal, I rinsed my mouth. Only then did Mrs. Lu say: "You can stay here tonight! Don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Go and clean up the Fanxing Pavilion so that the Marquis can stay tonight."
"Yes!"
Lu Hongye had no room to refuse, so he could only nod and agree. "Yes! Mother."
"It just so happens that Yan Hua is here, tell her your decision in person." Although Mrs. Lu's move is a bit cruel, since she has taken this step, Yan Hua will know sooner or later.
Lu Yanhua was confused. What does this have to do with her? Is it possible that Aunt Liu and Lu Yanru confused right and wrong and wronged themselves?
Lu Hongye spoke slowly, "Yan Hua, my father is going to renew his marriage."
Lu Yanhua naturally knew what the continuation of strings meant, but he was still shocked and couldn't hold it back, "What? Continuation of strings?"
Mrs. Lu was worried that Yan Hua would be irritated, so she quickly explained: "Yan Hua, this is what my grandmother meant. The Marquis Mansion needs a mistress, and your father also needs a good wife and mother."
Under the table, Lu Wanxi kicked Lu Yanhua with her foot, and Lu Yanhua understood what she meant. I should shed a few tears first to make Lu Hongye feel distressed, and then agree obediently and sensibly.
Lu Yanhua's tears fell down as she said that. It would be a pity for her not to act now. The tears fell right away.
When everyone saw Lu Yanhua crying, their hearts tightened. Mrs. Ning Guogong immediately stood up and went to comfort her, "Yan Hua, it's okay. Even if your father remarries, your grandmother, uncles, aunts, and your father will still love you as much as before. Your grandmother is right, the Marquis Mansion needs A mistress, your father needs a good wife and mother. You don’t want that Liu to stay with your father and be deceived by her, right?"
Lu Yanhua knew how to give up when things were good, and nodded repeatedly, "Yan Hua knows, and I listen to my grandmother." But after saying that, she shed a few more tears, which made Old Mrs. Lu feel bad.
Old Mrs. Lu had no choice but to do so. She loved her two granddaughters Wanxi Yanhua the most and couldn't bear their sadness. But for the future of the Fan Yang Lu family, I had to do this, and I could only feel wronged by Yan Hua.
Lu Yanhua's crying was a blessing in disguise. She didn't have to go to class for the next two days.
After finishing the meal, Lu Wanxi accompanied Lu Yanhua and left Tingyuxuan and returned to Ningxiang Courtyard.
On the way back, Lu Yanhua kept suppressing the joy in her heart, "Sister! This is great. After two days of vacation, I can finally rest."
"You've only been on the job for a day and a half, and you've got two days off. Don't get an advantage and act like a good boy."
"No way? But in this situation, the second string needs to be renewed. Where is the Liu family? How to deal with it?"
Lu Wanxi shook her head, "I don't know, but it seems to be quite serious."
"This rich family is so good! They are already old and they still have a relationship with a teenage girl, as expected!"
"Please keep your voice down, are you still outside?"
"understood."
The two of them returned to Ningxiang Courtyard and distributed Poria, Gardenia, and others. Only then did the two of them dare to talk to each other, "Sister! What kind of woman do you think your father will marry? If she is a few years older than me, or as old as me, then I will still call her mother. This I can't scream."
"You have to bark even if you don't bark. This is etiquette."
"Sigh~ If it were my dad, he would not be far from Guixi, and my mom would probably be on her way to kill my dad with a knife." Lu Yanhua's parents have a very good relationship. They have similar personalities. Likes to be noisy. But the two are very affectionate. Lu Yanhua is a child who grew up in love, so she is willful, because there are always people who will pamper her. But she is also everyone's pistachio, repaying everyone who loves her deeply.
"Uncle and aunt have been quarreling all their lives, but the more they quarrel, the better the relationship becomes. This kind of love is really rare."
"I guess they are just used to noisy with each other, and they feel unhappy if they don't quarrel for a day."
"That's true. Maybe love will disappear, but habits won't!"
When Lu Yanhua heard this, she felt something was wrong and looked at Lu Wanxi meaningfully.
Lu Wanxi felt ill-intentioned when she saw her look in her eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You sound like you have had this kind of experience before. You must be secretly hiding from me that you are in love with someone, right?"
"What are you talking about? Who should I fall in love with?"
Lu Yanhua blurted out, "Yun Zhifan! You two are both top academics. You say the school belle, he is the school belle. Everyone says you two are made for each other. Isn't this true?"
"Are you making up a story? Why would I fall in love with him?"
