Chapter 40
The next day, Lin Kangjie came over, bringing a lot of gadgets and snacks bought from the market outside.

Lu Zheng happily hugged Lin Kangjie to thank him, and immediately climbed onto the heated kang to find a gadget he wanted.

There are wooden carvings of flying eagles, cute puppet tigers, glazed pottery tumblers, wooden paintings of nine palaces, and a rattan ball.

These are naturally prepared for Lu Zheng.

And Lu Weiyu brought a small glazed lotus lantern.

The pink-winged lotus cover is attached to the base, and when not in use, it can be folded up like an oil-paper umbrella.

When you want to use it, it is like an upside-down oil-paper umbrella, with nine lotus petals scattered to reveal the round glazed lampshade inside.

In the center is a night pearl emitting pale white light.

The whole lantern is small, cute and delicate.

At night, I carried it as if it were an ordinary palace gauze lantern, but I didn't know that it was the light from the night pearl.

This gift is much more valuable than those trinkets.

After reading it, Lu Weiyu put it on the table, and looked at Lin Kangjie puzzled.

"Second cousin, why did you give such an expensive gift?"

Even in the prosperous Wuchangbo Mansion, there are not a few luminous pearls that can be used casually.

This thing is priceless.

Those who can take out a few luminous pearls at will are either rich or noble.

"Brother saw this little lantern at His Majesty's place, and asked for it because he thought it was interesting." Lin Kangjie quickly explained.

"I nearly lost your life when you fell into the water before, and it's our fault that you've been sick for so long."

"I didn't fulfill my brother's responsibility, and I feel ashamed."

"I just want to give this to you, I hope you like it."

Lin Kangjie smiled and said what his elder brother taught him, but stared nervously at Lu Weiyu.

That day my cousin was angry, choked on my uncle, and questioned General Lin's house. Afterwards, my elder brother came to visit and treated him coldly.

The three brothers all knew that their cousin had been wronged, so they wanted to find an opportunity to make amends, and hoped that their cousin would forgive them.

Only then did Lu Weiyu know that the second cousin came over today mainly to give this little lotus lantern.

The gifts given to Zheng'er were just a cover-up, why are they guilty?
She smiled faintly, and was about to decline when she saw Lu Zheng stretching out his little hand on the heating kang.

"Brother Jie! Sister! The little lantern is beautiful, please mention it to me!"

Lu Weiyu swallowed the words that came to her lips.

Lin Kangjie smiled awkwardly, and quickly brought up the small lantern that was put away on the table.

When the little lantern is lifted, the nine-petal pink lotus will open downwards, exposing the glazed lampshade inside.

That night pearl exudes a faint light.

This is daytime, if you look at it when the night is dark, the light will be brighter.

If you hang this small lantern beside the bed, it can indeed illuminate most of the room when you get up at night, saving you the trouble of lighting the lamp.

"Sister, this looks so good!"

Lu Zheng stretched out his little hand to take it, and walked back and forth on the heating kang a few times with his hands, happily motioning for Lu Weiyu to look at him.

"Zheng'er, this gift is too expensive, we can't accept it." Lu Weiyu said in embarrassment.

"Xiao Yu..." Seeing Lu Weiyu's refusal, Lin Kangjie was a little anxious, and looked at her sincerely.

"These days, my elder brother and third younger brother and I have thought about it carefully and reflected on it. We did ignore your grievances in the past."

"My aunt is in poor health. If even our cousins ​​don't know how to support you, who can you rely on?"

"Even if your concubine sister is ignorant, even if she just did it unintentionally, what Aunt Yang did is by no means innocent."

"It's our fault that our elder brothers didn't react quickly to this matter. Zhan Hong still doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, making mistakes on top of each other."

"After my father found out, he gave Zhan Hong a good beating, and then told us: we can't distinguish between closeness and closeness, so we are in vain as an elder brother."

"Wei Yu, we are ashamed, please be generous, don't be angry."

After Lin Kangjie finished speaking, he cupped his fists towards Lu Weiyu, bowed, and bowed to the ground.

Obviously, it is very sincere to apologize today.

Lu Zheng was happily holding the little lantern, when he looked at Lin Kangjie in surprise, and at his sister in doubt.

Lu Weiyu didn't want the younger brother to know these things.

"Forget it. In the past, I couldn't tell my sufferings, and no one cared about my grievances. Last time I said it, I really felt a lot more comfortable."

"Actually, I don't care about anything anymore. I am also very grateful that my cousins ​​care about me."

"As long as you don't be blinded by some people's small thoughts and small calculations, and think you are justified when you are used as a knife."

"There's nothing else to complain about, just..."

"Because Qianqian repeatedly violated the family rules a while ago, my mother also found out what was going on in our yard and quarreled with my father."

"Later, I thought it wouldn't be a problem to continue like this, so I asked my parents for permission, and now my surrogate mother is in charge of the house."

"It's not that I want to be in charge of the family or really take care of anything. I don't have the ability."

"It's just to say something on behalf of my mother to the uncle's mansion and those who gossiping outside the mansion: Mrs. Uncle is still here!"

"That's all, I haven't gone out to recuperate these days."

"By the way, I learned to read the ledger and taught Zheng'er how to read and write. My life has finally calmed down a bit."

"I never thought about it, cousin, you still remember this matter." Lu Weiyu pondered for a while when she said this.

"I dare not accept this compensation. I was not angry at first, so how can I forgive you?"

"If I accept it, it will appear that I am stingy."

Anyway, what you do is up to you.

I, Lu Weiyu, don't want to have anything to do with your cousins ​​of the Lin family in this life.

In her previous life, she had no one to rely on, and she would be considered lucky if they didn't make trouble in the name of "for her own good".

Especially the third cousin, Lin Zhanhong, was thoroughly used by Lu Qianqian.

In the end, she thought that it was she who forced Lu Qianqian to follow her into the Prince's Mansion for the sake of the glory of her princess.

Before she got married, he came to scold her viciously and cursed her to die.

Ha ha!

Thinking of that scene in the previous life, Lu Weiyu's heart was already numb with pain.

Seeing that Lu Weiyu still refused, Lin Kangjie was a little helpless for a while.

Before coming here, he and his eldest brother had speculated about his cousin's reaction, and he said everything he could say sincerely.

What to do now?

If the apology cannot be sent out, doesn't it mean that the cousin is still angry and doesn't intend to forgive them.

"Cough." Lin Kangjie coughed, and turned his eyes away, "By the way, Wei Yu, you just said that you are the surrogate mother."

"When I came here, I went to my aunt first. My aunt fell asleep, and Nanny Lin refused to tell the truth. I don't know how my aunt is doing these days?"

"Ah." Mentioning her mother's illness, Lu Weiyu slightly lowered her brows, with a sad look on her face.

She turned her eyes to look worriedly at the children playing with small lanterns on the heating kang.

"It's the twelfth lunar month. I hope my mother can get through it. In the spring and summer of the coming year, she can always recover some vitality, and the effect will be better when she treats the disease again."

"Nowadays it's freezing cold, even Grandpa Qu is exhausted, he's doing his best."

There was hidden worry in her words, and Lin Kangjie couldn't help feeling worried.

If my aunt really can't make it through...

Wouldn't that arrogant concubine gain power?
Just now, Wei Yu said that her surrogate mother was in charge of the house, but she was just telling the world on her mother's behalf that she was still alive.

This actually means that Mo Zhen thinks that the concubine can be deceived.

But if...
