Herb Family [Rebirth]

Tongcheng Lujia

Mrs. Lu's yard was as quiet as ever. Uncle Lu rarely went to Mrs. Lu's main yard, and usually rested in the yards of other aunts.

But that night, Mrs. Lu suddenly sent someone to invite Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu and Mrs. Lu have "respected each other like ice" for so many years, knowing that if there is no serious matter, Mrs. Lu will not send someone to my aunt's house to invite him.

So Uncle Lu immediately got up and put on his clothes, intending to leave to his wife's main courtyard.

It's just that Uncle Lu understands Mrs. Lu's temperament, but his new favorite aunt doesn't. The aunt thought Mrs. Lu was fighting for favor, so she wanted to keep the uncle so that she could slap her in the face.

Thinking of this, the aunt stretched out a pair of slender arms that seemed to be weak and boneless, climbed up to Uncle Lu's neck, leaned in front of Uncle Lu, and said coquettishly, "It's so late, the night outside is exposed Seriously, Madam has something that can't be said tomorrow, do you have to blow the cold wind?"

How could Uncle Lu not hear what Auntie was referring to?

If it was left in the past, Uncle Lu would not care about it. After all, he and Mrs. Lu did not have a deep relationship. It is not a big deal for Auntie to chew her tongue behind her back. It is impossible for him to discipline Auntie himself.

But now it's different, the Lu family can count on Lu Qi to enter Su Wang's mansion, and if Lu Qi can enter Su Wang's mansion smoothly, he still has to rely on the help of the Xu family in the capital.

At this moment, how could Uncle Lu offend Mrs. Lu?

So after hearing this, Uncle Lu shook his face at his aunt for the first time, and said in a cold voice: "Madam, is it something you can criticize? You can't teach Madam how to do things? I think you are used to living a good life, so you forgot It's your duty."

These words were serious, the aunt was so frightened that she knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot, Master Lu gave a disgusted bah, turned his head and told his confidants, "Pull it down." After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

The confidant waited until after Uncle Lu had left, and then ordered the mother-in-law to come in, gagging and teasing people in one go, the aunt never expected that with just these few words, she would be rejected by Master Lu.

Seeing my aunt's puzzled face, my confidant said kindly, "I can't see the situation clearly. Now everyone in the Lu family is supporting Madam, and you are the only one who is trying to catch up with Madam's eye drops. You are really stupid."

After finishing the speech, he didn't care whether the aunt understood it or not, so he asked the mother-in-law to drag him down. He knew that this aunt was useless. ...

On the other side, Mrs. Lu, who was sitting in the main courtyard, also heard about the movement in that courtyard, but she was not at all grateful to Uncle Lu for venting her anger for her. There was not much love between her and Uncle Lu. Come down, the two can almost be regarded as strangers.

If it weren't for the emergency tonight, she wouldn't have asked someone to call Uncle Lu.

Mrs. Lu's face became heavy when she thought about the letter she had just received. She didn't expect her mother to have such an idea, nor did she expect that Lu Qi was chosen by the Xu family because...

But she clearly saw him standing up before Lu Qi set off. If the Xu family found that Lu Qi's legs and feet had recovered, wouldn't they send Lu Qi back again?

Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Lu's face became distorted.

No!She finally looked forward to this day, when both her natal family and her husband's family would support her. Back then when the Xu family cruelly married her to Tongcheng, all she could think of was wanting to let go.

If Lu Qi can't enter Su Wang's mansion and stay in the capital, how can she vent her anger?

Furthermore, if Lu Qi was sent back, she would become a joke in the Lu family. She tried her best to send Lu Qi away, and even put aside the grievances of her mother's family for the time being. I thought that good times were coming. But reality slapped her again.

Mrs. Lu deeply hated God for being unfair, but she still had to brace herself to deal with all this.

At this time, she could only turn to Uncle Lu for help, otherwise, as a woman, what she could do was too limited.

Therefore, she had no choice but to put down her dignity for the time being, and for the first time in her life, sent someone to the concubine's house to invite the uncle back.

Just when Mrs. Lu was struggling, Uncle Lu came.

As soon as Uncle Lu entered the room, he saw Mrs. Lu's pale face and terrified expression. He was taken aback. This was the first time he saw Mrs. Lu lose her composure after so many years of marriage.

Thinking of this, his expression became serious. What was the big deal that made Mrs. Lu lose her usual calmness?

When Madam Lu saw him coming, she asked all the maids in the room to go down. When only the husband and wife were left in the room, Madam Lu took out the letter from the capital and handed it to Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu took the letter paper, and after browsing through it quickly, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

It's just that he doesn't understand, isn't this a good thing?The Xu family is interested in Qi'er's disability. This is Qi'er's luck and the Lu family's blessing. Why is Mrs. Lu so disheartened?

Mrs. Lu pursed her lips, and said in a low voice: "Qi'er was able to stand up before she set off." Needless to say, a few words are enough.

Uncle Lu's face changed drastically when he heard the words, but he did not forget to lower his volume, and asked repeatedly: "What?! When will Qi'er's legs and feet recover?! How are they? Why don't I know?"

"Three days before departure, Qi'er stood up, and I told him to keep it a secret." Mrs. Lu said flatly.

Uncle Lu tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a while, and then said: "According to what the mother-in-law said in the letter, it seems that Qi'er's legs and feet have not been found. You should quickly write a letter to Qi'er, and don't let him show his feet." yes."

"You mean..." Mrs. Lu was taken aback when she heard the words.

"Since he entered Xu's mansion in a wheelchair, he can no longer stand up." Uncle Lu made a decisive decision and said coldly.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu understood what Uncle Lu meant. Yes, Lu Qi entered the Xu Mansion in a wheelchair, so he was favored by his parents. The mother wrote that they had already started arranging for Lu Qi to enter the Su Wang Mansion.

If Lu Qi was found to have good legs and feet at this time, then not only the recommended Xu family, but also the Lu family would not be able to escape the wrath of Su Wangfu.

For the current plan, only by letting Lu Qi continue to sit in the wheelchair can the Xu and Lu families be safe and sound.

Uncle Lu's method is good, but there is still a problem. Mrs. Lu asked hesitantly: "There are many famous doctors in the capital, and there are also imperial doctors in King Su's mansion. What should I do?"

Uncle Lu has never lived in the capital, so he doesn't know how deep the water is in the capital. Since the eldest son of King Su's mansion is not good at conduct, wouldn't King Su not think that other people would pretend to be disabled just to get close to the eldest son?

Su Wangfu must have thought of a countermeasure long ago, so that those who pretend to be sick have nowhere to hide.

If Lu Qi can hide the truth from the people in the Xu family, can he really hide it from those famous doctors or imperial physicians?This is also the reason why Mrs. Lu hurriedly invited Uncle Lu to discuss it. It is not difficult to make Lu Qi pretend to be sick, but it is difficult to hide it from everyone.

After hearing this, Uncle Lu frowned and began to think. He forgot the most important point, that is, there will be strict censorship when entering the Su Palace. good.

It's just that Uncle Lu gave up this opportunity to climb Su Wang's mansion, but he is not reconciled.

It was not easy for the Lu family to have a further opportunity. If Lu Qi could win the favor of the prince and say a few good words for the Lu family, the Lu family might be able to get rid of the status of a merchant.

That's why Uncle Lu nodded and agreed to let his only son come to Beijing.

You know, Uncle Lu has only Lu Qi as his legitimate son so far. Although he has been in a wheelchair for many years, Uncle Lu has not given up hiring a famous doctor for him, and he wants to cure his son.

After all, except for this defect, Lu Qi is very good in other aspects. Uncle Lu once taught him his homework, but he was far better than the children of the second and third families.

Therefore, when he first heard that the Xu family wanted Lu Qi to enter the capital, Uncle Lu was hesitant for a while. If he hadn't known that the Xu family wanted to use Lu Qi to climb up to King Su's mansion, Uncle Lu would not have nodded.

But now that things have developed to this point, how can Uncle Lu be reconciled?

Originally, he tried his best to cure Lu Qi, but now that Lu Qi is cured, he wished that Lu Qi would never stand up. He can only say that Uncle Lu is worthy of being the son of Mr. Lu. See benefits.

Mrs. Lu sat aside, watching Uncle Lu frowned in thought, her heart was also in a state of panic, what would Uncle Lu do?Will it do what she wants?

She lowered her eyes, clutching the embroidered handkerchief tightly with both hands, waiting for Uncle Lu to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, Uncle Lu finally spoke. His voice was very low, revealing a gloomy look. He said, "Since we can't hide it, why don't we let it become a fact?"

Mrs. Lu's heart skipped a beat, she felt a sense of relief, and a feeling of "it really is".

Uncle Lu stared at Mrs. Lu closely, seeing her expression first hesitant, then strange, as if there was a feeling of relief, which made Uncle Lu feel strange.

So he opened his mouth and said tentatively: "If this is the case, Qi'er will never be able to stand up again."

Mrs. Lu's eyebrows twitched, and she immediately made an expression of pain, "I know...but there is no way... How many people are there in the Xu family and the Lu family?...Qi'er... woo..." After talking , covered his face and sobbed in a low voice.

Seeing this, Uncle Lu dispelled the doubts in his heart. He just said, what mother would be indifferent when she heard that her son was about to have his leg broken.

Thinking about it, he was wrong just now, no matter how bad the relationship between his wife and him is, how could he not love his only son-in-law?

After discussing the remaining details with Mrs. Lu, Uncle Lu left again. Mrs. Lu didn't intend to keep him overnight and sent him out in person.

After returning to the room, Mrs. Lu sat slumped on the soft couch, her back was already soaked with a layer of underwear.

When Jane's mother entered the room, seeing Mrs. Lu's still panicked face, she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Madam, what's the matter?"

"Master agreed." Mrs. Lu sighed heavily, then grabbed Mother Jian's hand again, and said in a low voice: "Mom, Master just suspected me, if I didn't react quickly, I'm afraid I'd be caught by him It's gone."

Mother Jian's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words. Not only was she worried that Madam Lu was almost suspected by Uncle Lu, but she also felt sorry for Lu Qi deep in her heart.

Mrs. Lu would make such a choice. Mother Jian was not surprised. After all, Lu Qi didn't crawl out of Mrs. Lu's stomach. How could Mrs. Lu really treat Lu Qi well?

It's just that Uncle Lu is so cruel, which makes Mother Jian feel chilled. Lu Qi's current identity is the only son of the uncle, and the uncle can say that Lu Qi's broken leg will become a fact without blinking his eyes.

For the sake of the Lu family, the uncle can really give up everything.
