Spring is warm and fragrant

Chapter 44

On the way back to Lu's house, Lu Mingyu and Lu Jinyu sat in the lady's car.

"Mom, you gave Sister Chen so much jewelry and Sister Chen doesn't even want it. How could she steal Xiangxiang's Nanzhu? I also think she was wronged." Lu Jinyu and Chen Lianshuang are the most familiar, and the sister who likes it encounters this kind of thing. , Lu Jinyu felt a little bit wronged for her, and begged her mother in a low voice, "Mother, please help sister Chen..."

The eldest lady looked at Lu Mingyu.

Lu Mingyu sat quietly with her eyes downcast.In fact, just now when her aunt framed Chen Lianshuang, she didn't do anything, but she didn't tell the truth, she just watched Chen Lianshuang being wronged, but if she didn't do anything, she was also an accomplice of her aunt.Lu Mingyu did her best for the sake of harmony between the first and second families of the Lu family, and she didn't want to get involved in anything else.

The little niece was obedient, and if she promised her to keep quiet, she would not say anything. The eldest lady was both satisfied and guilty. In any case, she used her niece to pour dirty water on Chen Lian.But she couldn't help it. Chen Lian Shuang's behavior was flirtatious, but she couldn't let others know, because the crime of "disobedience to women" was too serious for a girl, and it could almost ruin Chen Lian Shuang's life.

The eldest lady didn't want to make things too extreme, she wanted to marry Chen Lianshuang to another place in a reasonable way, so as not to involve the Lu family in the future if something happened to Chen Lianshuang, but she also hoped that Chen Lianshuang would remember this lesson and live in harmony with her husband after marriage.It is not a big mistake for the little girl to secretly hide the things she picked up on the spur of the moment, and the husband will not care too much if he knows about it, but few husbands can bear the intention to seduce a man.

Suppressing the complications in her heart, the eldest lady touched the top of her daughter's head, and asked her in a low voice: "Then Jinyu said, for no reason, who would frame your sister Chen? Jinyu, mother knows that you like sister Chen, but everyone knows I don’t know my heart, some people usually look good, but in places where you can’t see, she may show another side. Take mother as an example, do you think mother is gentle and amiable? But mother punishes servants It's very fierce, so those stewards are afraid of mother."

Lu Jinyu seemed to understand, but frowned, apparently still unable to believe that Chen Lianshuang was obsessed with money.

"Jinyu, mother or sister Chen, who do you trust?" The lady couldn't explain clearly, and resorted to the last trick.

Of course, Lu Jinyu believed in her mother more. Looking at her mother's serious face, Lu Jinyu nodded, but her little face was filled with disappointment, and she lost a good friend for herself.

After that, no one spoke, and the car fell into silence.

The carriage stopped in front of the Lu family's gate, and Lu Mingyu got out of the carriage with the help of the maid, and when the eldest wife and his wife got down, she said goodbye to the elders woodenly, "Auntie, I'm going to find my mother first."

The little girl was frightened like this by her, and the eldest aunt blamed herself more and more, but she had to order what should be ordered. After touching Lu Mingyu's head, the eldest lady coaxed in a voice that only two people could hear: "Ah Nuan, it's the two of us. Remember that no one can tell your secret, okay?"

Lu Mingyu nodded obediently.

The eldest lady didn't believe it or not, and watched the little girl go.

Lu Mingyu had a steelyard in her heart. If she told her mother the truth about what happened today, there would be a rift between her mother and her eldest aunt, so she only said that Chen Lianshuang had hidden Chu Xiang's Nanzhu privately, and Chu Xiang caught it out on the spot.Mrs. Xiao knew from her daughter that Chen Lian's double character was flawed, and after hearing this, she was a little surprised and believed it.

On the other side of the eldest room, the daughter was settled, and the eldest lady went to Chen Lianshuang's room.After entering the main room, she heard Chen Lian's wailing in the inner room. The eldest lady asked her two maids to guard outside and entered the inner room alone.

"Auntie, I really didn't steal anything, please help me, Auntie..."

Seeing the Da Furen, Chen Lian Shuang seemed to have grasped the last straw, staggered and threw herself in front of the Da Furen, knelt down and begged.She wants to stay in the capital. There are many powerful people in the capital. She can't be a decent wife, but she can enjoy all the glory and wealth as a concubine, especially Lu Erye already cares about her. He will definitely find a way to marry her as soon as possible. Second Master Lu, Second Master Lu will never want her to be someone with a bad reputation.

"Auntie, I beg you..." Chen Lian burst into tears, her makeup was already worn out.

Da Furen stood steadily, frowned and said: "You keep saying that you are wronged, so why is Nanzhu in your purse?"

Chen Lianshuang was thinking about this all the way, and said immediately after hearing the words: "I don't know, I, I dropped my purse on the way to the clean room, and I didn't notice it at the time. When I came out of the clean room, a little maid returned the purse to me...Auntie, She must have put Nanzhu in here to harm me, Auntie, can you make the decision for me?"

"Do you know who that servant girl is?" The eldest lady supported her with both hands, her words were warmer.

Chen Lianshuang finally saw hope, and promised, "As long as my aunt takes me to the Duke's Mansion to identify her, I will be able to recognize her."

In fact, Chen Lianshuang must have understood the ways of the world to make it to this day, but at this time, his reputation was damaged, and Chen Lianshuang was so focused on clearing up his grievances that he forgot about the rest.The eldest lady sighed for a long time, patted Chen Lian's hands and said, "Lian Shuang, you are a good girl. Auntie knows it. Hearing what you say, Auntie also believes in you. However, the people who went to the Duke's Mansion today are all from the closest No matter whose family that maidservant belongs to, if your aunt takes you to recognize her, you will..."

Chen Lianshuang raised her head in shock.

The eldest lady knew that she understood, as if she didn't dare to look at Chen Lianshuang, the eldest lady turned her eyes away, and sighed in a low voice: "Lian Shuang, it's not that Auntie won't help you, it's just that Auntie came from a businessman and managed to gain a firm foothold in the Lu family. , I really don't dare to cause trouble for the Lu family anymore, this loss, you, you, admit it..."

Chen Lian was dumbfounded. She understood that the Da Furen would not help her anymore. She could understand Da Furen's difficulties, but what about her?

"Then what should I do?" Chen Lianshuang's tears that had just stopped rolled down again.

"Don't worry, I will arrange a good marriage for you." The lady held Chen Lianshuang's hands and said, "But if something like this happened, you, you will have a lot of trouble if you stay in the capital. Ladies like to say You know the right and wrong of people. When you marry out of town, few people know about it. You can be your official wife with peace of mind, and gradually forget about it."

The phrase "official wife" sparked hope in Chen Lian's heart. She, she is still qualified to be an official wife?

The eldest lady encouraged her again, "You can rest at ease, after this period of limelight, auntie will make arrangements for you."

Chen Lian cried and nodded.

Now that she is living under the fence, she can only listen to the eldest lady.

Although Chen Lianshuang is a girl from someone else's family, she is now being raised by the Da Furen's side. The wife obligingly attended to her husband to bathe, and gloated about learning about it.

Second Master Lu leaned against the bathtub with his eyes closed, with a lazy expression that had nothing to do with him, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.Chen Lianshuang was an orphan, she had no one to rely on, and she was the easiest to get her hands on. When she got it, she got tired of playing with it and threw it aside, so Chen Lianshuang didn't dare to say anything about it.Now that Chen Lianshuang has been arrested, the eldest sister-in-law will probably discipline Chen Lianshuang strictly, which will ruin his good deeds.

It's a pity that the pair of three-inch golden lotuses are so attractive.

"You're talking." The husband said nothing, and the second wife gave him a light pinch.

Only then did Second Master Lu open his eyes, staring at his wife with displeasure, "Sister-in-law is a virtuous and virtuous housekeeper, please don't gossip behind your back."

This wife always disliked the elder sister-in-law's humble background, but seeing how sensible the elder sister-in-law taught her niece, and seeing how self-willed her own daughter was, Second Master Lu became even more dissatisfied with his wife.

As soon as the second wife heard her husband admonishing herself, she immediately threw the wet towel in her hand on the man, "Why am I talking nonsense? Ms. Chen made a mistake, is it because she didn't teach well? The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. You may be greedy for a lot of money secretly, just wait and see, Jinyu is a good boy now, but it may be what she will be when she grows up..."

He even scolded his own niece, Second Master Lu stood up awkwardly, stared at his wife coldly, "Try to say something again?"

The second lady looked at his face, and then at the bottom of him, her face turned white and red, she was too lazy to argue with her husband, and left angrily.

Second Master Lu sat back in the water again, took a shower, and went directly to Aunt Miao's yard. The Second Madam was so angry that she almost gritted her silver teeth.

Dead man, since he doesn't want to accompany her, what kind of guy is he?
At the end of May, the little turmoil caused by Chen Lianshuang among the female relatives in the capital had already subsided. Lu Mingyu went out as a guest and heard about Chu Sui's study abroad.

It was a bit uncomfortable, but she had no choice but to return to Meiyuan. Lu Mingyu lay listlessly on the pineapple rocking chair, looking at the blue sky in the distance, comforting herself while rocking gently.Let's go, Chu Sui travels to gain experience, without today's study tour, how could there be such an excellent Chu Sui later?It's just right to leave, and she can also concentrate on enjoying the happy time of being loved by her parents and making up for the regrets of her previous life.

After being listless for two days, Lu Mingyu quickly cheered up again.

In June, something unexpected and happy happened to Lu Mingyu in the capital.The Hu people invaded Liaodong overnight. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers guarding the city were prepared and blocked the first wave of the Hu people's sneak attack. The losses were slight, but the Hu people's army was coming in menacingly. reinforce.

"Daddy, did your words come in handy?" Lu Mingyu asked her father excitedly.

Lu Rong's eye disease has been cured, and it is as bright as a star, adding to his handsomeness.At the beginning of the year, he knew through his daughter that there would be a war in Liaodong this year. Although Lu Rong was blind, he also cared about the stability of the border. Therefore, after his eyes recovered in April, Lu Rong and his father Lu Zhan, who was the minister of the Ministry of War, had a long-term discussion on the frontier defense of Liaodong. talk.

Lu Mingyu is a female family member, so she doesn't know much about the details of the war, so Lu Rong can only guess the route of the Hu people's advance based on the map.His son was only prepared for danger in times of peace, but Lu Zhan was very pleased with his son's ambition, and he was relieved that his son did not lose his will due to the long period of blindness. At the beginning, Lu Zhan accompanied his son to discuss the Liaodong defense line, which was really a bit like coaxing the child. Tell him to discover a trouble and remedy it in time.

Only in this way did the Hu people lose their first battle.

Lu Rong is not a person who takes credit and pride, but he likes to coax his daughter and pat her on the shoulder, like a general encouraging soldiers, "This is all thanks to Ah Nuan. If Ah Nuan hadn't reported the letter in advance, many soldiers and civilians would have died unjustly at the border. "

In fact, the victory in the first battle was due to the daughter's contribution, the father's contribution, and the Liaodong Lieutenant General Gao Guanxiong's contribution.If it weren't for Gao Guanxiong's devotion to his duty, just because of the incompetent defense that ran away, even if his father succeeded in persuading the emperor to arrange it in advance, the subordinates would still lose this battle.

Lu Mingyu didn't know about this, and she also understood that her contribution was only a little bit, but this little bit made her extremely satisfied, and she always felt that her rebirth had an added meaning.

Feeling happy, Lu Mingyu specially served a plate of pastries, preparing to honor her grandfather, who is the real hero who has made great efforts.

Unexpectedly, I rushed to my grandfather's yard excitedly, just in time to see the steward inviting a guest over.

"Uncle Biao?"

Lu Mingyu stopped in surprise, looked at the stern man in silver armor a dozen steps away, and couldn't move her eyes for some reason.
