Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 995 Who dares to treat her sincerely

Wen Chuying and Cao Zhuohui smiled at each other and said, "You've been coming home late lately, and I thought it would be the same today. It's already dinner time, so I didn't wait for you."

"Why are you waiting for me? I've already eaten. I'm going home to prepare something. We're going to the Lu residence to pay our respects later."

As soon as Cao Zhan opened his mouth, he announced breaking news.

Wen Chuying put down her chopsticks: "Lu Mansion?"

Cao Zhan nodded and said, "Just now in the palace, Lord Lu came to the palace to report the news. Lord Gu and I were still in the palace at that time, and we all knew about it."

Mr. Lu Dalang pointed at Madam Lu Da and Lu Xidao, the son of Lu Gongchuo.

However, Lu Gongchuo has been dead for many years, so could it be Lu Gongbi who came to report the death this time?
This was too sudden.

Lu Gongbi was sixty-six years old and there was no news of him having any serious illness. How could he die suddenly?

Cao Zhan: "Not only Lord Lu, but also Mrs. Lu's second wife has passed away."

Wen Chuying: "Both died?"

I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here.

Although Wen Chuying thought so in her heart, she did not say anything. After the children finished their meal and returned to Prince An's Mansion, the two of them packed up and prepared to go to Lu's Mansion.

Sitting in the carriage, Wen Chuying whispered: "The water in Lu Mansion is not shallow!"

Cao Zhan patted his wife's hand and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I know everything about the Lu Mansion."

Wen Chuying said: "With my husband's current ability, I am not worried about any impact on you, but the daughter of the Lu family is in the same Anwang Mansion with our Hui'er after all, so I have to worry."

"What does it have to do with our Hui'er?"

The affairs of the Lu family are not as simple as they seem. Ever since the incident of Master Jingyin a few years ago, the backyard of the Lu family has been criticized. Madam Lu San became the head wife of the Lu family and reorganized the backyard.

After that, Lu Gongbi was not so fond of showing off in the court. When Lu Sihui became pregnant, he was high-profile for a while and gave birth to Zhao Ming, the third son of Prince An's Mansion. Lu Gongbi often asked his second wife Lu to visit Prince An's Mansion.

But just three months ago, Madam Lu II rarely went to Prince An's Mansion.

Lu Gongbi claimed to be ill and did not attend court.

Cao Zhan went to visit him and said that Lu Gongbi did not seem to be seriously ill. He looked listless, which was largely due to mental illness.

Three months have passed and he's dead?

"Your Majesty, don't you have any doubts? Have you sent someone to investigate?"

"I don't know about that!"

The Lu family is no longer as glorious as it used to be. Lu Gongzhu, who had a smooth career, was demoted from the capital because of his different political views from Wang Anshi in the court. Lu Gongru, the fourth son of the Lu family, is said to not have a very good relationship with his second brother.

So even if some people suspected Lu Gongbi's death, no one would stop this thankless task.

When Lu Sihui learned about this, she wanted to return to the Lu Mansion.

Chun Tao said, "My Lady, let's go ask the princess for permission before returning to the Lu residence, so as to avoid being held accountable again."

"I just returned home a few days ago, and everything was fine then. How could he suddenly die? There must be something strange."

Mother Liu was someone close to Madam Lu. She was sad to learn that her master had died, but she couldn't bear to watch the concubine make a mistake.

"My queen, I know you are anxious, and the princess is not unreasonable. Let's report first and return to the palace after your consent."

Before Chunmei arrived, the princess sent someone over.

It was Madam Gao beside the princess: "My Lady, the princess heard that something happened in the Lu Mansion, so she asked you to hurry back to the mansion. Don't rush back." Lu Sihui, who was in a hurry to go back to the mansion just now, suddenly calmed down. She straightened her back, straightened her clothes, and glanced at Madam Gao: "The princess is thoughtful!"

Mother Gao smiled and said, "Of course. The princess is the mistress of Prince An's mansion. It's normal for her to know more about these things than the concubine. This is a match."

Mother Gao put down her pair of cards, knelt down to greet Lu Sihui, and then retreated.

"Mother Liu, look at her. She is a slave who acts so high and mighty."

She was not saluting to her just now, it was clearly a demonstration.

"My queen, now is not the time to talk about this. You should hurry back to the mansion. Madam Lu Er has always been in good health. She died suddenly this time. I think something is fishy. Only if you go back can you take charge of the situation."

"it is good."

They were her backers, and if there was something fishy about their deaths, she would not just let it go.

Lu Sihui brought Liu Mama and others to Lu's house.

The mourning hall at the Lu Mansion had been set up, and visitors came one after another to pay their respects. The first thing Lu Sihui did when she came back was to ask Mrs. Lu San why she didn't notify her immediately.

Madam Lu San: "Concubine An, I am also very sad about the death of my second brother and second sister-in-law. I asked your eldest brother to report the news immediately. However, you are a concubine, so even if you report the news, you must first inform Concubine An, and she will inform you. Aunt San knows that you can understand this principle. Since you understand it, don't make a scene at this time."

"Third Grandmother is so mean!"

Madam Lu San smiled and said, "Harsh? Compared to you questioning your elders right after you arrived, especially for such a big matter, I am being polite."

Lu Sihui: "Isn't it? Grandpa and grandma were always in good health. There must be something fishy about their sudden death. But you didn't report it to the police and planned to bury them like this. Don't you have something to hide?"

"Since the Concubine wants to slander me, then you should report it to the police. But you should think it over carefully. Your actions have deeply hurt the Lu family. It will be impossible for them to support you in the future."

Lu Sihui pursed her lips.

There was still anger on his face, but in his heart he had already begun to weigh the words of Mrs. Lu San. Should he fall out with the entire Lu family because of his deceased grandparents?

What if nothing is found?

Lu Sihui's expression softened: "Don't be offended, Third Grandmother. Grandpa and Grandma passed away suddenly. Hui'er was upset and said something that was not taken seriously."

Madam Lu San's expression also eased up: "Your Highness, you are too serious. This matter is not easy for anyone to feel, but it has already happened, and we can only accept it."

Lu Sihui curled her lips and said yes.

I still feel a little unhappy!

At night, Lu Sihui returned to the palace.

The child needs his mother, and since she has no intention of investigating, there is no need for her to stay overnight at Lu's house. It would be the same if she went there early tomorrow morning.

Knowing that Lv Sihui would return home at night, Cao Zhuohui touched the child's back and chuckled, "Isn't it because she was suspected of dying strangely? I thought she would turn the Lv Mansion upside down, but it turned out to be just a lot of noise but little action."

Mother Gao: "She's already dead, so why would the concubine quarrel with the family over someone who's already dead?"

"I really despise people like this."

Her grandparents who raised her since she was a child didn't dare to fight for her and only thought about themselves.

Who would dare to be sincere to her when she is so selfish?

After the child fell asleep, Lu Sihui left only Mother Liu to talk to her.

"Am I very heartless?"

Mother Liu found it difficult to respond to this. Her real master had already died, so she had to support him wholeheartedly from now on and not offend him.
