On the other side, Meng Qianqian also planned to take a rest.

Everyone said this was a haunted house, but she felt somewhat at ease lying here.

When Nanny Li came to call her for supper, she was already fast asleep.

Nanny Li tucked the quilt in for her out of concern, lowered the curtain, and walked out quietly.

Tan Er held a large bowl of mutton dumplings and asked in a low voice, "Sister, you don't mind? Then I'll eat them all!"

Madam Li said, "Eat."

The next day, Meng Qianqian got up very early.

Madam Li asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? We are at home now, no one will say anything."

Meng Qianqian said: "I've slept enough."

I’m used to getting up early in the military camp.

After breakfast, Meng Qianqian took Banxia and Tan'er to the Lu family.

The Second Madam and Lu Linglong were just about to go out, but when they met her, they were stunned.

Lu Linglong asked unhappily, "What are you doing at the Lu family?"

Meng Qianqian smiled faintly: "I came here to collect debts. What do you think you are doing?"

Lu Linglong choked violently.

The Second Madam smiled awkwardly and said, "Qianqian, we in the Second House are not very clear about the family debts. You should go find the First House and the Old Madam!"

After saying this, he quickly dragged his daughter into the carriage and drove away.

The servant reported to several stewards, but no one was willing to come forward. Finally, it was Steward Liu who invited Meng Qianqian to the flower hall.

Manager Liu used to work under Lu's mother. He was one of the few people with a clean record, and he was always polite to Meng Qianqian.

"Madam, please sit down for a moment. I will go and report to the old lady."

Banxia corrected him, "Manager Liu, my young lady is no longer a member of the Lu family, so calling her Madam Young Master is a little inappropriate."

Manager Liu sighed, "In my heart, the only eldest lady of the Lu family is Miss Meng."

"Go and report to the old lady." Meng Qianqian said.

"Yes."

Manager Liu left.

When the old lady heard that the debt collector came to her house, she immediately pretended to be sick and disappeared.

Manager Liu came to urge three times.

Later, it was heard that the old lady was alarmed, and she called Meng Qianqian to her own yard, and the old lady breathed a sigh of relief.

The old lady was overjoyed to see Meng Qianqian, but at the same time she felt a little aggrieved: "Why did you take so long to come back? Take me with you next time!"

Before moving out of the Lu family, Nanny Li was afraid that the old lady would have a seizure if she couldn't find Meng Qianqian, so she secretly told her that the young lady had gone out to visit relatives and would bring her many interesting booklets when she came back.

How could the old lady have known that this wait would last two months?

Meng Qianqian smiled and said, "Okay."

The old lady asked Xi Que to call Lu's mother over.

In the past, Lu Lingxiao was raised by Old Madam Xixia. In order to let Lu's mother see her son more often, the old lady would call Lu's mother and Lu Lingxiao to her courtyard.

"flourishing?"

Mother Lu was shocked.

She didn't know that Meng Qianqian had left the capital. She had been missing Meng Qianqian very much during this period, but she didn't know where Meng Qianqian had moved to.

"lady."

Although she can no longer call them mother, in Meng Qianqian's heart, Mother Lu and the old lady are both her relatives in this life.

Mother Lu felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Qianqian was only twelve years old when she came to the Lu family. She would miss home when she was lonely at night and cry secretly. When she cried, she would let Qianqian sleep in her room. Later, her son "died in battle", and she cried all night instead.

Qianqian brought a pillow and stayed with her all night, fearing that she would be upset.

If it weren't for this child, she really didn't know whether she could have survived those years.

"I thought...I thought you..."

Mother Lu choked up.

Meng Qianqian held her hand and looked at her sincerely.

Some words do not need to be spoken out loud, they are already understood in the heart.

The old lady said seriously: "I haven't cried yet, so you are not allowed to cry either!"

Mother Lu burst into laughter.

Mother Lu was in poor health, so Meng Qianqian brought her a lot of precious medicinal herbs and also wrote down the recipes for decoction.

Meng Qianqian also brought some tonic herbs and storybooks collected from various places for the old lady.

Lu Lingxiao had just come from Songzhuyuan. He was here to visit his great-grandmother and heard laughter from afar.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised, as his great-grandmother's yard was rarely so lively.

When he came closer and took a look, his expression froze.

Is she there too?

The weather is nice today, so we opened the doors and windows in the yard for ventilation.

Meng Qianqian sat with the old lady and Lu's mother in Shu Ming's spacious main hall. The three of them were talking and laughing. Even her mother, who was always unhappy in her impression, couldn't help but smile.

Lu Lingxiao couldn't help but feel dazed.

The maid inside the door spotted him and said, "Master, do you want to come in?"

Lu Lingxiao thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, I'll come back later."

He returned to Shochikuin.

Lin Wan'er was sitting in his room.

He was startled. Somehow, he would feel pleasantly surprised when he saw Lin Wan'er in the past, but now, he felt that her behavior was a little abrupt.

Lin Wan'er gestured and said: I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have argued with you. I'm here to apologize to you. Please don't be angry with me, okay?

Lu Lingxiao's expression relaxed and he sat down next to her: "I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself."

Lin Wan'er signed softly: Regardless of whether you have made any contributions or not, you are a hero in Wan'er's mind. As for Miss Meng, you don't have to worry too much for the time being. Lu Yuan is going to deal with you, so Miss Meng will be fine.

Lu Lingxiao frowned and did not respond.

Xiaodie walked in: "Brother Lu, didn't you go to see the old lady? You're back so soon? I heard Sister Meng was here too, did you see her? Is she okay?"

When Lin Wan'er heard this, her expression suddenly changed slightly: You went to see Meng Qianqian?

Lu Lingxiao frowned: "I don't have it!"

Lin Wan'er: Then why don't you come to see me? You clearly said last night that you would come to see me today!

Lu Lingxiao said: "I was just planning to go, and you came."

Lin Wan'er gestured and said: From the old lady's yard to the Pine and Bamboo Courtyard, you will pass by my yard, why don't you go in?

Lu Lingxiao raised the brocade box in his hand: "I have something in my hand, I want to put it down before going to see you!"

Lin Wan'er angrily signed, "I don't believe it! Do you regret bringing me back? Do you regret losing her?"

Lu Lingxiao had never thought of this before: "Don't be unreasonable! When did I regret it?"

Lin Wan'er: Then why did you go to see her?

Lu Lingxiao said with a headache: "I said I wasn't going to see her! Before I went there, I didn't even know she was there!"

Xiaodie urged anxiously, "Brother Lu, Sister Lin, stop arguing! Anger is harmful to your health. Sister Lin, if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider the baby in your belly. And even if Brother Lu went to see Sister Meng, so what? It's not like a man and a woman are alone in a room with so many people watching. Brother Lu and Sister Meng are innocent, what's there to say?"

Lin Wan'er slammed the table and gestured coldly: It's not your turn to speak here!

Xiaodie hid behind Lu Lingxiao in fear.

Lu Lingxiao said coldly: "Enough!"

"I'm going to do the laundry."

Xiaodie picked up Lu Lingxiao's spare clothes and went out timidly.

Lin Wan'er looked at Lu Lingxiao with hurt.

"I have something to do. I'm going to the military camp first. I won't be back tonight!"

Actually, there was nothing to do in the military camp. He just didn't want to stay and argue with her. In his memory, she was gentle, generous and considerate, but he just went to the border and she seemed to have become a different person, suspicious and jealous.

As soon as Lu Lingxiao arrived at the door, he ran into Meng Qianqian who was coming from the old lady's yard.
