Chapter 114
Lu Mansion, Orchid Garden.

It was just dawn, when Lu Yun was dressing up, the maid Hong Ling came in with a wide-mouth basin with flower and bird patterns in Ding kiln, and said with a smile, "Look, girl, the water lily was still a flower bone last night. It only bloomed in one night. It's so big."

Lu Yun tilted her head and looked into Hong Ling's arms.The white-bottomed flower pot is as delicate as beautiful jade, and the lotus leaves on it are green and graceful, and there are three flower buds in total when I saw it last night, and now one of them is blooming, pink, and the petals are so delicate that they seem to shatter when touched, passing through the window sash When the soft morning light casts over, it looks like a lotus fairy just waking up.

Lu Yun's eyes softened, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of his lips.

Xingzhi who combed her hair let out a long sigh of relief.She and Hong Ling were newly sent to the girl's side, and Nanny Zhou and others were sold out by the master before.The matter between the girl and her former son-in-law was aroused in the capital, and she and Hong Ling knew the inside story. Seeing that the girl was depressed all day long, they tried every means to make her laugh, and they finally got some improvement today.

But looking at the beautiful woman with worried brows and eyes in the mirror, whom I feel pity for, Xingzhi couldn't help feeling a little bit wronged for the girl.

Why does Mrs. Yao look down on girls?The girl's temperament is a bit weak, but the girl is gentle and considerate. Sometimes she obviously doesn't want to laugh, and she will pretend to be happy to take care of them for fear that the two servant girls will be embarrassed.The Yao family doesn't want such a gentle daughter-in-law, does it have to be a slick one?Could it be that only a slick daughter-in-law can be a clan wife?There are only a few people in the Yao family, and the girl has a nanny to help her, how can she manage well?
Old Mrs. Yao was picky everywhere because she thought the girl was not pleasing to the eye, thinking of ways to torture the girl, and in the end she had to label her as "mud can't support the wall".It's ridiculous, Mrs. Yao has been the mistress of the house for so many years, so she can get on the wall?A good marriage has been tossed like this, even the girls in the Shangshu Mansion dare to talk about it, let's see who in the capital dares to marry their daughters over.

Lu Yun has a quiet personality and likes flowers and plants. After breakfast, she ordered her servant girl to put water lilies on the imperial concubine's bed, and she devoted herself to admiring the flowers.

When Mrs. Zhu came over, she saw her daughter sitting there with a peaceful face. The human face and the lotus flower matched each other, and it was hard to tell which was more beautiful.

Seeing her daughter becoming more energetic, Mrs. Zhu couldn't bear to hurt her daughter's heart anymore, but long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and the pain will be relieved in the future, and the current situation of her family does not allow her daughter to continue to immerse herself in her own pain. In misery.Having made a decision a long time ago, Mrs. Zhu forced herself to be cruel and sent the maids away. She sat across from her daughter, cared about her daughter's health, and then told the rumors spread by the Yao family.

"Ajun, Mrs. Yao can think of such an excuse. Could it be that Ji Ting has already touched the maid beside him behind your back?"

Zhu Shi asked cruelly.

Lu Yun's expression was dull, and it took a while to come back to her senses. After thinking about it seriously, she shook her head, lowered her eyes and said, "No, the Yao family said so, just because they don't want people to suspect that there is something wrong with his heir." As long as Yao Jiting is at home, almost With her, no matter how sad Lu Yun was, he would not easily believe rumors.

The daughter is so calm, without the grievance and tears she imagined, but can rationally analyze the Yao family's thoughts, Zhu was a little confused, and asked tentatively: "Ah Jun, they slandered you as a jealous woman, are you not angry? How come you don't feel sad at all for allowing his grandmother to bully you?"

Lu Yun lowered her head, finally showing an unconcealable sadness on her face.

Yao Jiting was a talented person, and he always spoke softly to her after marriage. Lu Yun was really satisfied with this husband-in-law. On the day she decided to divorce, she cried all night.But it doesn't matter if you cry any more, it doesn't matter if you have a husband or leave, if you leave, you will leave. In the dead of night, there are no more tears. Lu Yun couldn't help but think about his life in Yao's family this year.

The old lady Yao didn't like her, she had always been vaguely guessing, so she worked hard to learn how to be a housekeeper, went to see the old lady Yao who was in charge of the Yao family's servants every day, and counted the account books, even though the old lady Yao was right. She has learned it a long time ago, and she listens carefully.The Yao family had few children, so she was considerate of Mrs. Yao's longing for a child, and also wanted to conceive as soon as possible, so no matter how bitter the medicine was, she willingly drank it.

It wasn't until the old lady Yao expressed her dislike for her that Lu Yun knew that some people couldn't please her no matter what she did.Since she couldn't get old lady Yao's favor, Lu Yun didn't want to force herself any more. It didn't matter if she endured hardship or wronged her, but her father, brother and sister-in-law were all venting her anger for her.

It was a relief for Lu Yun to calm down and not have to be the granddaughter-in-law of Mrs. Yao anymore.

As for Yao Jiting...

Lu Yun was very reluctant, but it didn't seem too reluctant.When Yao Jiting was nice to her, she was very good. She accidentally pricked her hand while doing needlework. Yao Jiting was more nervous than her. After a year, Lu Yun couldn't find any fault in him. The only thing he wasn't used to was that Yao Jiting was too keen on that.On the wedding night, she felt extremely uncomfortable, but her mother said that it was the same on the first night, and she endured the pain. After a long time, she still felt... some taste, but Yao Jiting asked too often, and often she was I really didn't want to, but he begged me to have to accompany him.

In Lu Yun's view, the happiness of husband and wife is just the happiness of men.

Back at her natal home, she slept alone in the same bed. At first, Lu Yun was not used to it. She couldn't help but think about Yao Jiting, and wanted to have someone to rely on at night. After the most difficult nights passed, she would have her brothers and nephews to accompany her during the day, and at night. Lu Yun didn't have to worry about Yao Jiting any more.

But Lu Yun felt a little guilty towards Yao Jiting, because his father gave Yao Jiting medicine in front of the whole family, and because his elder brother wrote a letter of divorce. For a man, all these things are over.Of course, her father and elder brother love her dearly, and Lu Yun won't blame them. She just feels a little sorry for Yao Jiting. Now that the Yao family framed her as a jealous wife, Lu Yun calmed down instead.

From now on, she and Yao Jiting owe nothing to each other.As for whether a woman is jealous or not, she won't remarry anyway, so it doesn't matter what people say.

She told her mother what she thought, so that her mother would not worry.

Mrs. Zhu couldn't help crying. Before she broke off with the Yao family, she suddenly heard that she was being slandered. Her daughter could never be so calm. How indifferent her daughter is now shows how much her daughter has in her heart a few days ago. uncomfortable.No one is born with open minded minds, and his broad-mindedness is forced out of all kinds of bad things he has experienced.

"Since Ajun thinks thoroughly, mother will not mention their family's affairs. Ajun, you just need to remember that there are many women who remarry with Li. With your identity and appearance, you can marry someone better than him if you remarry." Hugging her daughter, Zhu sincerely comforted her and said, "You are only seventeen, you will have a long time to come, and you won't have to worry about finding a good husband-in-law."

Lu Yun smiled bitterly, at least for now, she doesn't want to remarry.

Mrs. Zhu lowered her head and looked at her daughter. Knowing that her daughter had a hurdle in her heart, she couldn't figure it out in a day or two. She sighed and said in a low voice: "Ajun, your third brother arranged your marriage. He loves you so much, he blamed himself for losing weight, and your third sister-in-law was unhappy. You were sick a few days ago, and my mother didn't remind you. Now that you are healthy, let's go see more Look at your third brother and third sister-in-law, let them know that you really let go, and they can feel at ease, so they can prepare for Ah Nuan's engagement, don't you think?"

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, and Zhu is most afraid of affecting his granddaughter's engagement banquet because of his daughter's affairs.

Lu Yun was a bit cautious in dealing with people and things. She did not have the grandeur and style of Shang Shu's daughter, but she was pure and kind by nature, and she was not stupid. After her mother reminded her, she immediately knew what to do.Looking at the newly opened water lilies in front of her eyes, she smiled at her mother, and ordered Hong Ling to hold the flower pot, and go to the third room with her spirits up.

Lu Mingyu also wanted to find her aunt, so she came to her mother to tell her before leaving, and was about to leave when she heard the maid outside said that her aunt was here.

Lu Mingyu looked at her mother in astonishment, since her aunt came back, she hasn't been out yet...

Xiao was also puzzled, and led her daughter to pick him up.

Lu Yun had already walked to the door of the main room. When she raised her eyes, she saw her sister-in-law and niece rushing out to pick her up. She suddenly noticed that both of them had lost weight, with a haggard look on their faces, and looked at her nervously.Lu Yun wanted to come over and tell her sister-in-law that she was fine, but later realized that her sister-in-law and niece had been worrying about her, and she only cared about her own pain and neglected her loved ones around her. Lu Yun suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

She couldn't help herself, sobbing loudly.

Xiao Shi was startled, and hurried out to help her sister-in-law, and said distressedly: "It's all right, why is Ah Jun crying?"

Lu Yun buried herself on her sister-in-law's shoulder, crying like a child, "Sister-in-law, I was stupid and didn't take good care of myself, and now I'm hurting you because of my self-blame..." She severed ties with her husband, and from now on she is no longer Yao's wife , Lu Yun used to be distraught, but she always cried secretly by herself, biting the quilt to keep herself from making a sound. Only now, she couldn't help it anymore, and cried out all the grievances and sadness left in her heart.

Lu Mingyu and her mother helped him into the house.

Lu Yun cried a lot, and finally stopped, her eyes were swollen from crying, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, Ah Nuan, I understand now, I feel uncomfortable in Yao's house , It’s fine to leave, just ask sister-in-law and third brother not to blame themselves, don’t be in a bad mood because of me, or I will die of guilt.”

Although Mrs. Xiao advised her husband not to think too much, she also helped out with her sister-in-law's marriage. Wipe the sister-in-law's face with a wet towel, "Okay, the past is over, let's look forward together, and no one is allowed to think about those things that block our hearts."

Lu Yun closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

"Aunt." Lu Mingyu leaned closer, leaning on her aunt's shoulder coquettishly, with complicated emotions.

If she hadn't mentioned to her parents about her aunt's early death in the palace, but waited for her to find a way to help her aunt avoid disasters after she entered the palace, then her father wouldn't fall in love with the seemingly responsible Yao Jiting, and her aunt wouldn't marry When he arrived at Yao's house, he was forced by Mrs. Yao to drink those disgusting soups, not to mention hurting his body and becoming so weak that he passed out.

Her rebirth changed her aunt's life. Now her aunt was alive, but she was severely injured once.

If she had chosen another path, things would have been different, right?But can she guarantee that her aunt will be able to avoid that catastrophe?

But these are destined to have no answers, because there is no medicine for regret in this world, and she will never return to the day when she still has a choice.

Lu Mingyu only knows that the aunt in front of her has already been married once, and there must be twists and turns in remarrying later. As for where her aunt's marriage will end up, Lu Mingyu has no idea.That day her grandfather scolded her father severely and forbade her to interfere in her aunt's marriage. Lu Mingyu could only place her hopes on her grandfather, hoping that her grandfather would find someone who would truly love her aunt.

"Ah Nuan has lost weight, now that my aunt is well, hurry up and eat well, and grow back the meat early, otherwise what will happen if my niece and son-in-law meet and depend on me?" Wiping his face, Lu Yun turned around and held his niece's little hand, Quietly said.Her relationship with Yao Jiting is over, but her niece's good marriage is still waiting for her. Lu Yun hopes that her niece will be raised beautifully, get engaged, and then get married happily.

Lu Mingyu couldn't tell how much her aunt felt relieved, fearing that her aunt would be sad because of her marriage, she pretended to be ashamed and lowered her head, not daring to answer.

Lu Yun wanted to tease his niece again, but there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, "Ma'am, Ma'am, the Duke sent someone to bring a gift, old lady, please go and have a look quickly."

Lu Mingyu raised her head in surprise, and looked at the door of the inner room. It wasn't a festival, so what gift did Chu Xing give at this time?
"Why are you still in a daze, let's go, let's go and see what good things my niece and son-in-law have brought." Lu Yun smiled and nodded her niece's little head, and led them out.Lu Mingyu bit her lip, followed her aunt uncomfortably, and was also full of curiosity.

The three mothers rushed to Ning'an Hall, and heard Brother Nian's excited voice from a distance. They walked around the corridor, and first saw Mrs. Zhu standing at the door of the hall, smiling so hard that his eyes almost narrowed into a line. There were two yellow-haired monkeys, carrying a mountain sedan back and forth like bearers, and a five-year-old Nian was sitting on it, yelling and ordering the monkeys to turn.

An old man with a white beard was watching by, and the two monkeys obeyed him, turning left when told to turn left, and turning right when told to turn right.

Lu Mingyu stopped in shock and stared blankly at the two yellow-haired monkeys.

"I want it too, I want it too!" Brother Heng chased after the monkey, eager to sit in the sedan chair, while Brother Chong stood farther away, but stared intently at the monkey with his big black eyes, apparently also wanted to sit .

The white-bearded old man supported Brother Nian while coaxing Brother Heng with a smile: "The third son has grown up and is heavy. These two monkeys are too lazy to lift. If it is difficult to lift, they will stop doing it."

"I don't care, I'm going to sit down!" Seeing Mei Zizi's younger brother showing off to him, Brother Heng was so anxious that he almost jumped.

Mrs. Zhu couldn't bear his grandson's anxiety, so he suppressed a smile and persuaded him: "If he likes to sit, let him try it. How heavy can an eight-year-old child be?"

When the master spoke, the old man with the white beard asked the monkey to stop, and Brother Nian sensibly made room for his brother to sit.

Brother Heng sat down unceremoniously.

The old man with the white beard and his hair were orderly, the two yellow-haired monkeys bent down, and lifted the handrail like a bearer, but just lifted up a little, before Brother Heng left the ground, the two monkeys gave up and left the sedan chair and sat on the ground , the monkey turned its head eastward and westward, turning a deaf ear to the orders of the old man with the white beard, clever and reckless.

Lu Mingyu burst out laughing, Xiao Shi and Lu Yun beside him couldn't help laughing too, Brother Nian laughed the most, his face turned red.

The monkey refused to carry him, and refused to listen to his orders. Brother Heng jumped off the sedan chair in anger, glared at his younger brother who was gloating, and then ran to the corridor, complaining to his sister wrongedly: "Sister, my brother-in-law is partial, why didn't he send him off?" Two big monkeys? Big monkeys can lift me!"

The younger brother called Chu Xing brother-in-law in full view, Lu Mingyu blushed, turned around and walked back, couldn't hold back before leaving, and looked back at the two monkeys.

Two yellow-haired monkeys are sitting on the ground like uncles, doing nothing is ridiculous.

Lu Mingyu looked at the smiling relatives in the yard, and suddenly understood the meaning of this gift.

I understand, my heart is like being filled with honey, full of sweetness.
