Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 650
After sending away the servants in the palace, Wang Mingnan, the head of the criminal department, stood there for a while, finally came to his senses, looked at his wife Liu in disbelief, and stammered and asked, "Husband... madam, what are you doing?" Husband isn’t dreaming, is he? It’s really...it’s the empress... who wants to summon you?"

He was completely stunned by the news, okay?When did his wife have friendship with the empress?

Now he is just a small head of the criminal department. In the eyes of the empress, he is probably just a ninth-rank sesame official. He doesn't think that the empress will know him.

Mrs. Liu, that is, Lu Fu, came back from the memories, smiled slightly at her husband who had lost an inch, and said, "Husband, don't worry, I will tell you slowly."

As he spoke, he pulled him to sit down, and slowly explained the matter.

Since the empress announced her entry into the palace, she was allowed to tell her husband something.

Of course, what she told her husband was just some insignificant things, and she didn't mention the former identity of the Empress. Even so, it was enough to shock Wang Mingnan.

"Ma'am, you... you mean, the empress was once your old master?" Wang Mingnan didn't know what he thought of, his expression changed again and again, and he was so dumbfounded that he was so stupid.

He only knew that his wife used to be a servant girl, but she kept secret about the people he had served, and he was not a good person to inquire. Seeing that his wife didn't want to mention it, he didn't ask any more.Judging from his wife's dowry, it can be seen that her old master is definitely not an ordinary person. However, he never expected that her background would be so great.

Lu Fu nodded, seeing that he still wanted to ask again, she immediately raised her hand to stop her and said, "Don't ask, even if you ask me again, I won't say anything, knowing more will not be good for our family. "

Wang Mingnan also understood what was right and what was wrong, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded slowly, and said, "Madam said yes, don't worry, I won't say anything."

Lufu laughed again and said: "Fortunately, you are still a bit promising, now, even if the empress sees me, she won't look so obtrusive."

When Wang Mingnan heard this, he scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

Wang Mingnan wasn't too smart, so he took the exam two or three times before he managed to get a third-class Jinshi.

Later, he was released and went to a remote area to become a county magistrate.

Fortunately, he is a pragmatic person who works for the common people sincerely and has some ability to judge cases, which allowed him to make a lot of achievements. After many years, he was finally transferred back to the capital, entered the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and became the head of the sixth rank. Now, it is highly valued by the boss.

It is really not easy to go from a fellow Jinshi to this step without any background.

In the past, Wang Mingnan thought that he was lucky, but now it seems that he is very likely to be in the favor of his wife.Otherwise, relying on him alone, I am afraid that he will not be able to avoid those open and hidden arrows in the officialdom.

Moreover, he knew his aptitude clearly. Being admitted to Juren was actually a high honor for his ancestors. To be admitted to the same Jinshi, he thought it was a manifestation of his ancestors!Now, he understood what was going on.

However, he didn't feel that his self-esteem was hurt by this. He only felt that marrying Lufu was a blessing he had cultivated in three lifetimes. If he had disliked Lufu's background as a slave and refused to marry her, how could he be where he is now? Achievement?
What's more, after Lu Fu married him, she managed the house in an orderly manner, and was even more filial to the elders in the family. It's too late to like her, so how can you be dissatisfied with her because of the face problem?

So, he said with high spirits and full of fighting spirit: "Madam, don't worry, I will continue to work hard for my husband. Although I can't guarantee that my husband will let my wife achieve the position of first-rank lady, but third-rank Shuren can still fight for it." All of a sudden, one day, I will make Madam proud of me."

Lu Fu glanced at him and said with a smile: "The concubine is waiting."

In fact, she is already very satisfied with her current life, no matter how good it is, it is just icing on the cake. However, hearing what her husband said, she still feels very relieved and sweet in her heart.

The next day, Lufu put on the gown of Liupin Anren and entered the palace with the servants.

This is her first time entering the palace. She was very nervous at first, but when she thought that she was about to see the empress, she couldn't help being excited, which relieved her nervousness a bit, and she was only looking forward to seeing her. Empress.

We met after more than ten years of separation. Originally, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to the empress, but when she really saw the empress with her own eyes, she found that she was speechless at all and could only stare at her in a daze. She didn't even know she was crying.

The appearance of the empress has not changed much, but she is much more mature than before, adding a bit of extravagance and majesty, but the way she looks at her is as kind and gentle as ever, but the circles of her eyes are a little red.

It wasn't until the servant next to her reminded her that Lu Fu just woke up like a dream, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su Wan.

"Liu Shi, the wife of Wang Mingnan, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, kowtowed to the Empress Empress, who is a thousand years old."

"Get up!" Su Wan suppressed the excitement in her heart and said with a smile.

"Thank you, empress!" Lu Fu said with a choked voice, and after another kowtow, she stood up slowly.

"You all go down!" Su Wan said, and the maids and eunuchs standing beside them all slightly bent their knees and retreated silently, leaving only a few confidantes behind.

At this time, Su Wan waved to Lu Fu and said, "Come here, let Ben Gong take a closer look."

Seeing this, Lu Fu didn't care about the rules anymore, wiped away her tears, and walked forward slowly.

After Lu Fu stepped forward, Su Wan took her hand and looked at her carefully.

Seeing that Lufu's face was ruddy, her expression was peaceful, her figure was slightly plump than before, and she seemed to be doing well, so she nodded in satisfaction.

"Seeing that you are living a good life, I am relieved." Although she has always known about Lufu, she has always seen it with her own eyes, so she has a sense of reality.

At this time, Lufu's excited mood calmed down a lot. Hearing this, she couldn't help saying sincerely: "It's all because of your mother's blessings that this servant is here today. The mother's great kindness to this servant will never be forgotten by this servant."
