Stepmother's Adoption Letter

Chapter 65 Marriage (1)
After the old lady passed the message, Yuan Lu resumed her morning and evening meditation the next day.

The old lady was hale and hearty, and she never looked like she had just recovered from an illness.

Yuan Lu just didn't know.

The old lady didn't deliberately make things difficult for her, so she left her in the room for a while and asked her about the affairs of the house.It's as if he doesn't know about the rumors that are spreading outside.

Later, when she saw the place to eat Chaoshi, Yuan Lu was afraid that the old lady would ask her to eat with her, so she hurriedly left.

In the afternoon, Yuan Lu was lying on the couch by the window basking in the sun, when Lu's mother suddenly walked in quickly, and even fended off the others.

Seeing that she had something important to say, Yuan Lu quickly gathered her clothes and sat up.

Lu's mother said: "Ma'am, it has been spread all over the capital today. The son of the right servant of the Ministry of War is engaged to the girl of the Hanlin scholar's family."

Yuan Lu raised her eyebrows. The current Hanlin scholar is a relative of her mother's Chen family. It stands to reason that the girls in their family are still cousins ​​with her.

"Then I'll take a gift with you too. I don't know what to give, so my mother will help me choose."

Madam Shi took another step forward, approached her and said, "This right servant of the Ministry of War is the one who is engaged to the third girl in our mansion. Their family can only have one unmarried son."

Yuan Lu was quite surprised: "How could their family do such an embarrassing thing? Are you not afraid that we will sue them with the letter of appointment?"

"The engagement between the third girl in the mansion and the son of the right servant of the Ministry of War is something that everyone in the capital knows, but since the third girl was kept outside, her matter is not allowed to be mentioned in the mansion."

Yuan Lu hurriedly called Lu Shui to comb her hair and change her clothes: "If the old lady doesn't like it, it doesn't mean that outsiders are allowed to use the third girl to step on the face of the Duke's mansion. This matter must be reported to the old lady as soon as possible."

Lu Shui combed her hair neatly, Yuan Lu changed her homely clothes and went to the old lady's place.

The old lady is taking a nap.Grandma Sun saw that she was in a hurry, "Madam, is there something urgent?"

Yuan Lu suppressed her anger, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but there are some troubles in the house, so I need to ask my mother-in-law about it. Don't worry, I'll just wait here."

Grandma Sun asked someone to serve her tea, and she waited calmly for more than half an hour.

Then the old lady woke up, and Nanny Sun went in to help the old lady get up.The old lady heard that Xiao Yuan had been waiting outside for a long time, so she called her in.

Yuan Lu met Li calmly, "It's not a big deal, it's disturbing my mother-in-law."

The old lady was quite satisfied with her low profile, so she said, "Let's talk about it if you have something to do, you don't need to be so meandering."

"Also ask the mother-in-law to screen out people."

The old lady muttered: "What do you have to avoid talking about?" But she still shouted at everyone except Nanny Sun.

Only then did Yuan Lu tell about the engagement between the right servant of the Ministry of War and the Hanlin scholar's family.

The old lady let out an "oh" after hearing this, but she didn't realize that this matter had anything to do with the Duke's Mansion.Isn't it just a matter of a boy from a third-rank official family marrying a girl from a fifth-rank official family.

Grandma Sun reminded her next to her: "The right servant of the Ministry of War is also surnamed Gao, and he went to the battlefield with our old man in the early years. Because he was a round younger than our man, our man took him as his own." He brought his nephew with him, when he was not an official a few years ago, he often came and went in and out of our mansion."

The old lady recalled, "Oh, it's him. I remember he gave birth to three sons, right? Why, is this the eldest son or the second son died and the wife wants to marry another one?"

The old lady spoke without tact at all. Yuan Lu wanted to laugh, but she couldn't do it when she thought of the situation in front of her. She continued, "It's the marriage between the third son of their family."
