Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 218
As night fell, Lu Cheng's family sat around a table to eat.

Brother Rong ate slowly, Brother Mao was hungry and ate in a hurry, a grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth, silly, Brother Rong saw it, and quietly tugged on the sleeve of the sister next to him to let her see.

Because Xiao Nan was coming to propose marriage at night, Guo'er was full of worries, saw the rice grains on the face of the second brother, smiled slightly, and reminded Brother Mao softly.

Brother Mo said, and wiped the corners of his mouth.

Guoer continued to eat.

Ningxiang looked at her daughter unexpectedly, no, her daughter likes to tease her younger brother the most, why is she looking listless today?
"Is Guo'er still not feeling well?" Ning Xiang asked worriedly.

"No." Guo'er raised her head, met her mother's concerned eyes, realized that she was distracted, and smiled quickly, not daring to be distracted.

Ning Xiang looked at her husband, Lu Cheng was not as careful as her, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.

After dinner, the family should chat as usual, but Guo'er went back first on the grounds of being tired.Lu Cheng was not at home during the day, and when he came back at night, he pretended to study the two children's homework, and Ning Xiang watched from the side with a smile.Brother Rong finished reciting the article, and it was Mao's turn. Mao was fond of playing and didn't like reading, so he stuttered and stuttered. He looked at his father's increasingly ugly face with his big black eyes, and was scared and worried. When he was about to be beaten, the servants ran over to report back, saying that the prince's elder brother had come.

"I'm going to pick up the prince's brother!" Brother Mao ran out.

It was already dark outside, Lu Cheng looked at Ning Xiang suspiciously, and went out to greet her together.

Xu Mu smiled gloatingly, and was about to see how Xiao Nan persuaded his sister and brother-in-law, but Xiao Nan refused to let him see the joke, and solemnly said to his adoptive mother: "Mother, I have something to say to you alone, let Rong Rong's son grow up Brother go back first."

Ning Xiang thought that something serious happened in the palace, she was a little anxious, she quickly signaled her two sons to go back to bed first, and invited Xiao Nan to come in.

Xu Mu wanted to follow in, but Xiao Nan stared at him, "You stay on guard outside."

You're especially welcome.

Lu Chengningxiang was even more confused, thinking that it was some big secret that Xu Mu had to guard outside so that no one could hear it, but Xu Mu knew Xiao Nan's thoughts, hummed, and didn't make things difficult for him anymore, obediently outside the main room watch.

"What's the matter?" Ning Xiang asked anxiously after entering the inner room.

"Mother, sit down, don't worry, the palace is fine." The adoptive mother was pregnant with Liujia, Xiao Nan helped her to sit on the chair, glanced at the adoptive father from the corner of the eye, Xiao Nan moved the chair from the side and put it next to the adoptive mother, especially Looking at Lu Cheng sincerely, "Father, you sit too."

Ning Xiang widened her eyes.

Lu Cheng was even more flattered, and stared at Xiao Nan suspiciously.Before the age of eight, the brat would call him daddy in private, but after he was eight years old, he would call him father. After he was ten years old, he would never call him father again. If there were outsiders, he would call him Lord Hou, and if there were no outsiders, he would call him "you" and "you". , or simply don't address her, why are you so sweet again today?

Looking from Xiao Nan to the chair, Lu Cheng always felt that there was a hole there, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Say something quickly, don't play tricks." He won't sit down tonight unless his son makes it clear.

Xiao Nan turned his head to look at his adoptive mother, realized that there was no skill in this matter, suddenly lifted up the hem of his clothes, knelt down in front of Ningxiang, bowed his head and kowtowed, "Mother, I like Guo'er, and I want to marry Guo'er as the crown princess. My son also agreed, as long as you agree with your father, the emperor will immediately issue a decree to marry you."

Ning Xiang stood up in shock, Lu Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, strode over to his wife, and held her firmly: "Don't worry."

Xiao Nan mustered up the courage to raise his head, facing his adoptive mother's unbelievable eyes, he panicked, "Mother, please sit down first, don't scare me."

Seeing the young boy whom she always regarded as her own flesh and blood, Ning Xiang took a deep breath, sat down slowly, stared at Xiao Nan, but didn't know where to start.Ananguoer, the two children are brothers and sisters. Although Anan has long recognized his ancestors, he has always called her mother, and she has never seen him as an outsider.

How can siblings get married?
Ning Xiang raised her head and looked at her husband.

Lu Cheng's face sank like water, and he directly refused: "I don't agree, the prince please go back to the palace."

How can there be any reason for a daughter to marry a son?He didn't care what Xiao Nan's surname was, in his heart, Xiao Nan was his son, and everyone in the capital knew about the relationship between the two families, if it spread, what would others think of Guo'er?Xiao Nan ran here every day. In the past, everyone regarded it as a brother-sister relationship. Once the news of Xiao Nan's proposed marriage spread, would those gossips talk nonsense, saying that the Lu family had long wanted to let their daughter climb high, or To slander your daughter's reputation?
Due to emotion and reason, Lu Cheng disagreed.

Thinking of Xiao Nan saying Guo'er agreed in a flash, and thinking of Xiao Nan fooling his stupid daughter at some point, Lu Cheng's face became even more stinking.

Xiao Nan would look at his face, looked at his adoptive mother pleadingly, walked a few steps forward on his knees, put his hands on his adoptive mother's knees, "Mother..."

Although the appearance has grown, the young face that was a little fat at the beginning has long become unparalleled handsome, and the phoenix eyes are still the same pair of phoenix eyes, looking over pitifully, as if his mother would agree to all his requests, Ning Xiang couldn't resist it, and all the time A heart instantly melted.This child hasn't acted like a baby with her for many years...

Ning Xiang couldn't help holding the young man's hand, and just about to speak, her husband poked her shoulder.

As if being woken up suddenly after drinking ecstasy soup, Ning Xiang tightened her mind, stared at her husband as a warning, then looked at the pleading young man, Ning Xiang was in a dilemma, and finally stood by her husband, sighing Patted Xiao Nan's hand gently, "You child, you said you kept calling me your mother, how could you have that kind of thought for Guo'er?"

Lu Cheng nodded.

Xiao Nan glanced at him, pursed his lips, put his forehead on his adoptive mother's lap, and said the truth sullenly: "I know I have been calling your mother all the time, and there will definitely be a day. When I changed my name to my father, I hesitated whether to change my name too. You are my wife. But I can’t say it out loud. I’m afraid you’ll misunderstand me and I don’t want to recognize you. I’m afraid you’ll feel uncomfortable. I don’t want to make you sad. Mother, my adoptive mother is a mother, and my mother-in-law is also a mother. Apart from my mother, I only recognize you as a mother. , you just promise me, betroth Guoer to me, and let me continue to call your mother..."

Ning Xiang was already crying when Xiao Nan said the previous words, and she couldn't stop crying.

When the child called her husband Lord Hou for the first time, Lu Cheng came back and didn't sleep well all night. He laughed at himself and said that he felt like he had lost a son, and his son didn't recognize him anymore.Ningxiang understood her son and her husband, and while comforting Lu Cheng, she felt uneasy, fearing that her son would call her Mrs. when he came again, fearing that she would cry uncontrollably.But when Xiao Nan came, he continued to call her mother, as intimacy as before, Lu Cheng was sour, but Ning Xiang was overjoyed.

Now after hearing Xiao Nan's explanation and knowing how much pains he has put in for her, Ning Xiang completely sided with her son.

Wiping her tears, Ning Xiang smiled and touched the back of Xiao Nan's head, and asked with a sob: "You changed your mind when you were ten years old, and you decided to marry Guoer then?"

Xiao Nan raised his head, his eyes were wet, he looked at his adoptive mother and said, "I made up my mind when I was six years old. When my father asked me to enter the palace, he said that I would stay in the Hou's mansion. In the future, Guo'er will marry someone else, only me Leaving this family, I can only marry Guo'er when I grow up, so I promised to recognize my ancestors and return to my family. Mother, if it wasn't for Guo'er, I would rather our family go back to the village to farm, and I don't want to be some kind of prince."

Finally understanding the reason why her son entered the palace, Ning Xiang's tears fell again, she couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Silly, you were only six years old at that time, how do you know what liking is?"

"I don't care, I just want to be with Guoer." Xiao Nan said stubbornly, worried that his adoptive mother would misunderstand his feelings for Guoer, and added in time: "Mother, I didn't understand when I was young, but now I understand, I like Guoer , I want to marry her, treat Guoer as well as my father treats you, and only treat her once in my life, so you promise me?"

Ningxiang nodded with tears in her eyes. Others told her that he would always be good to Guoer. Ningxiang definitely didn't believe it, at least not right away. Only Xiao Nan, who only had Guoer as a girl companion, said this from a young age. When she said it, Ning Xiang firmly believed it.

Xiao Nan grinned, and suddenly heard someone beside him coughing.

The two girls looked at Lu Cheng together.

"I don't agree." Lu Chengcheng disagreed, and sat down on a chair far away with a sullen face.

Why?Ning Xiang agreed because Xiao Nan respected her, Ning Xiang was given the ecstasy soup, but he was not.Alright, I didn't change my name because I was afraid that my mother would feel uncomfortable. When it's his father's turn, I changed it without saying a word?Now that he came to marry his beloved daughter, he coaxed his silly daughter first, and then his mother. He didn't see him at all, so why would Lu Cheng agree?

I don't agree.

The more you think, the more angry you are.

Xiao Nan looked at his adoptive mother nervously. Although he knew that as long as his adoptive mother agreed, his adoptive father would definitely compromise in the end, but he was still worried.

Ning Xiang looked at her husband's back, she knew her husband's thoughts very clearly, she moved to Xiao Nan's ear and whispered for a while.

Xiao Nan's eyes were full of shock.

Ning Xiang nodded with a smile, patted the young man on the shoulder encouragingly, and signaled him to go quickly.

Xiao Nan blushed, it didn't matter how coquettish the adoptive mother was, but the adoptive father...

Xiao Nan looked at his adoptive mother with a bitter face.

Ning Xiang was funny, and deliberately whispered in a voice that Lu Cheng could hear, "What are you afraid of, before I married your father, he was the one who coaxed you to sleep, and loved you more than anyone else. Once you fell asleep at our house, you Daddy came to pick you up and carried you home all the way, Guoer, he never carried you for so long."

Lu Cheng's old face was hot, and he wanted to stare at his wife for thinking she was talking nonsense, and he was afraid that his son would stand in front of her, so he pretended he didn't hear it.

Xiao Nan didn't remember this, but he remembered that someone scolded him as a bastard, and his adoptive father led him to the other's house to settle accounts, and when he came back, he lifted him on his shoulders, Xiao Nan remembered that he hugged his father's head, and smiled very happily.

Taking one last look at his adoptive mother, Xiao Nan slowly walked towards the tall man sitting with his back facing him, "Father, I..."

"Don't call me father, I can't afford it." Lu Cheng interrupted him forcefully.

Ning Xiang frowned, Xiao Nan didn't care, pursed his lips, and called out with difficulty: "Father, I know you treat me well, will you promise me?"

"Don't call me dad either." Lu Cheng's heart beat faster inexplicably, disgusted by this feeling, he flung his sleeves and stood up, ready to leave.

This time, Xiao Nan didn't need Ningxiang's move, Xiao Nan rushed over, the young man was nimble, jumped onto Lu Cheng's back, hugged his neck and shouted: "Father-in-law, please marry Guoer to me!"

"Are you looking for a beating?" Lu Cheng's neck was almost strangled by the young man, and he grabbed Xiao Nan's arm and threw him to the ground.

"If you dare to beat me, I will send you to the border, and then find a good man of my mother's age!" Xiao Nan was happy, unprecedentedly happy, so happy that he forgot that he was the prince, forgot himself He should put on airs at all times to make the courtiers afraid of him. He only knows that there are two people who love him the most in this room, one is his father and the other is his mother.

After becoming the prince, Xiao Nan laughed out loud for the first time, and quickly ran behind the desk, proudly looking at the distraught man opposite him.

Lu Cheng was indeed furious, and it sounded like he was fooling people, but what does "find a good man for my daughter-in-law about her age" mean?He is only eight years older than Ningxiang, did the child think that he was too old and wronged his wife, or did Ningxiang reveal this meaning to the children?
Looking at his wife covering her stomach and grinning from ear to ear, Lu Cheng gritted his teeth and went to catch the brat.

Tonight, first catch the brat and beat him hard, and after his wife has given birth, he will teach her a good lesson to see if she dares to despise him for being old!
