The Hou family's mistress was reborn and destroyed the household registration book of the scumb

Chapter 15 How did she come back alive?

Lu Shangxuan suppressed the triumphant smile in his eyes and said impatiently: "Mother, this is obviously Lian's fault. She didn't follow the rules of a woman and didn't come home all night. Do you have to blame me for this?"

However, Mrs. Lu obviously didn't believe it and asked again and again: "Tell me honestly, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Facing Madam Lu's questioning, Lu Shangxuan just lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Madam Lu was so angry that she clenched the crutch in her hand, wiped her tears, and scolded: "Confused, confused, son, what have you done? You really want to destroy our entire county and prince's palace!"

As soon as he said these words, Lu Shangxuan almost opened his mouth, but his mind remembered what Lu Lianzhi said to him last night.

"If my mother knew that you pushed my sister-in-law into the water, she would definitely blame you again. It would be better to hide it. When the matter is over, my mother only has a child like you, and she will not have the heart to scold you any more."

What Zhi'er said made sense. He was determined not to let his mother know about it now.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan gritted his teeth, raised his head and denied, "Mom, my son has definitely not done anything to harm the reputation of the county prince's palace. If you are worried, then my son will go and find Lian Niang himself."

After that, Lu Shangxuan was about to go out, so Mrs. Lu stood up and stopped him in such a hurry, and nervously warned: "We must not make the trouble known to everyone, otherwise we will not be able to bear this crime when the Prime Minister comes to ask about it!"

"Got it, mother."

Lu Shangxuan nodded, thinking that what Zhi'er said was indeed correct.

Before Lu Shangxuan could step out of the house, a young boy ran straight towards him, panting, shouting: "I'm back, the young lady is back!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu was overjoyed and quickly asked Lu Shangxuan to help her go out to see the situation.

After she shouted a few words, Lu Shangxuan came back to his senses. His eyes were full of uncontrollable panic, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant.

At this moment, his heart was filled with turmoil. He couldn't imagine how Dou Lianyi escaped in the situation last night!
"Son, what's the matter with you?"

"No, nothing."

Mrs. Lu noticed something was wrong with Lu Shangxuan's expression. She rolled her eyes and immediately guessed that her son must be behind this.

But now is not the time to settle accounts, she must show off the momentum of the head of the family to calm Lian Niang's emotions first.

"Come with me to meet Lian Niang, and don't forget to wipe off all your sweat."

"Yes, mother."

However, when Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan wanted to pick up Dou Lianyi, they were stopped outside the courtyard by a slave with a delicate face and a cold voice.

Lu Shangxuan recognized the other party's identity immediately. She was Dou Lianyi's other personal maid Yuzhu, but she had something to do and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago.

"Yuzhu, how is Lian Niang doing now? As her husband, I must go in and see her."

Mrs. Lu on the side didn't say anything, but she just looked at the posture and had to go in.

Yuzhu refused coldly: "To the young master and the old lady, our young lady has just gone to bed and it is not convenient to see people."

"What does it mean to be inconvenient to see people? Is it reasonable that she didn't go home all night? Shouldn't she come out and explain?"

After all, Lu Shangxuan had something secret in his heart. The more Dou Lianyi refused to come out to meet people, the more unsure he was.Seeing that Yuzhu was still blocking the door of the yard in a daze, Lu Shangxuan waved his hand impatiently, signaling the woman behind him to rush over and pull her away.

Just when Yuzhu was about to be unable to stop him, Dou Lianyi's voice came out from inside.

"I don't know when, husband, you knew that I hadn't come home all night. Was it last night or today?"

She had already put on the clothes she wore when resting, and her hair was down. She looked a little tired, but when she raised her eyes to look at Lu Shangxuan, her eyes were still full of ridicule.

Lu Shangxuan struck first, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Lian Niang, what do you mean by this? Do you know how worried I am about you? How can you question me like this?"

"If my husband discovered that I was missing last night, why didn't you send your guards to look for me immediately?"

"I……"

Dou Lianyi interrupted Lu Shangxuan's explanation without hesitation and asked another question: "If you only discovered that I was missing today, then where were you, husband, last night? Why weren't you by my side protecting me?"

Lu Shangxuan couldn't answer two questions in succession. In front of so many servants, he blushed and hesitated, and finally managed to say: "There are too many people at the Lantern Festival, even if they get separated, It’s normal, and I thought that Lian Niang would return home on your own, but unexpectedly you never came back.”

Dou Lianyi's face already had a sad look on her face. She complained plaintively: "I was pushed into the moat last night. If there were no kind people who rescued me, how could I stand here today?" Here, husband, not only do you not care about me, but you blame me everywhere, you are so cruel!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dou Lianyi's face was covered with tears, as if she was extremely sad. She turned around and went back to the house without even looking at Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan.

"What, what is this doing?"

Mrs. Lu was confused. She looked at Dou Lianyi who had walked away, and then at her son who had been humiliated and had a gloomy expression. She couldn't help but shake her head and began to murmur in her heart.

"It's nothing." After a while, Lu Shangxuan recovered. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, mother, your birthday will be in two weeks. I will let Lian mother take care of it."

"Okay, I hope nothing more happens."

Seeing that Lu Shangxuan had no intention of explaining, Mrs. Lu didn't say anything more although she felt a little uneasy.

Two days later.

"Young lady, winter melon and duck soup is here."

Bai Zhi came to the yard with the steaming soup, put it on the stone table, and then said to Dou Lianyi who was sitting on the wicker chair with his eyes closed and concentrating: "Young Madam, the young master has been coming to see you these days, and he said I have found a doctor with superb medical skills to take a look at your health."

"You asked Yuzhu to find an excuse to push it away," Dou Lianyi said lazily, without fully opening her eyes: "I'm afraid those doctors will find something wrong with me."

"I understand, Young Madam," Bai Zhi nodded, and then said: "Young Madam, you have previously asked us to choose some gifts to send to the 'Fengxue Pavilion'. The servants have already selected them. Please take a look at the list."

When she heard 'Fengxue Pavilion', Dou Lianyi immediately opened her eyes, stood up and took the gift list from Bai Zhi and looked at it carefully.

After all, Bai Zhi knew Dou Lianyi's thoughts very well about the people who were following her.
