Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 2 Lu Mansion
Dongying Kingdom, in Suzhou City, Lu Mansion in Thirteen Alleys.

"Ma'am, Ma'am is not well. Fourth Miss has fallen into Fengwei Lake." A little girl of about eleven or twelve years old was wearing a double-ringed bun, wearing a peach-colored narrow-sleeved white dress, and holding a Suzhou embroidered cattail fan. With tears in her eyes, the girl stood anxiously by the edge of Fengwei Lake and shouted loudly to Mrs. Lu who was sitting in the Huxin Pavilion.

The Huxin Pavilion is only [-] or [-] feet away from Fengwei Lake. Madam Lu naturally heard what the little girl was yelling. The folds on the skirt, quickened the pace and rushed towards Fengwei Lake, shouting "Oh, come to me quickly, Sister Yu fell into the water" while walking.

Lu Ziyu felt his body slowly fall into the darkness.

Immediately afterwards, pictures flashed in front of my eyes. The women in the pictures had exactly the same face as my own, except that they were wearing ancient women's palace attire.

She frowned slightly, with despair in her eyes, teardrops hanging from her long eyelashes, falling drop by drop on her plain brocade gown, the blue silk was tied up with a jade hairpin in clear water, revealing her smooth neck , such a beauty with pear blossoms and rain, even a heartless person like Lu Ziyu feels sorry for her.

Immediately after Lu Ziyu saw a woman with the same appearance as himself, he raised his head and looked out of the palace door. After a while, a group of people came in, including eunuchs, maids, and guards. Seeing them coming, the woman put away herself With a sad face, his eyes fixedly looked in Lu Ziyu's direction.

A group of people who entered the hall were not curious when they saw that Concubine Yu was neither crying nor making trouble, but after thinking that all her family members had been executed, this Concubine Yu might have lost her heart a long time ago.

The eunuch at the side took out a yellow scroll from the tray in the hand of the maid, unfolded it and stood in front of Concubine Yu and read: "Concubine Yu received the order, and the emperor's decree said: The sinful father Lu Jinyan colluded with the enemy and treason, an unforgivable crime , withdrew the honor granted by the late emperor to enjoy the imperial temple, confiscated all the belongings of the Duke's mansion, and punished all the people in the sinful mansion, regardless of gender, to the nine families. , Qin this"

The eunuch finished speaking for a long time and saw that Concubine Yu hadn't got up to receive the order, so he coughed softly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's order has been issued, please leave early and ride the crane westward."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and summoned two guards, and presented the poisoned wine in the tray to Concubine Yu, which meant that if you didn't drink it yourself, we would get rough.

"The concubine knows, please let your father-in-law bring a message to Your Majesty, saying that the concubine is grateful to the Lord for your kindness." After finishing speaking, Concubine Yu raised the poisoned wine from the tray to her lips, raised her head and drank it without any hesitation.

Lu Ziyu felt like her heart was being pierced by a needle. She really wanted to tell the woman with the same appearance as her not to drink this glass of poisoned wine, and wanted to reach out to knock it down, but her body seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't move. I can watch my other self die slowly.

Lu Ziyu saw Concubine Yu in the painting whisper a few words in her direction, she couldn't hear Concubine Yu's voice clearly, but she understood the shape of her mouth, what Concubine Yu said before she died was "For me, Live again".

"Ah~~ don't..." Lu Ziyu's consciousness became heavier and heavier in the darkness, and he shouted loudly, hoping that someone could take him away from this oppressive darkness.

"Sister Yu, mother is here, so don't be afraid~ My good child is not afraid." Mrs. Lu sat by the bed, clutching the handkerchief in her hand, and kept wiping the sweat from the forehead of the girl lying on the bed.

I saw the girl on the bed wearing a princess bun, with a small pearl tassel hairpin in her hair, a small and fair face, her tender skin was pink because of her body heat, her eyebrows were slender and picturesque, and her thin lips were lightly pursed like she had done it. What a terrible dream.

Even though she is less angry now that she is sick, but the appearance of being as delicate as a May cherry still makes people look at it and want to pamper her. At this moment, the girl on the bed has her eyes half-opened, hiding a little bit of awakened moisture and looking up and down. Looking at the people in the house.

What beautiful eyes these are, two clear phoenix eyes, the eyes are flowing, Gu Pansheng seems to hide thousands of emotions.

Lu Ziyu opened his eyes in a daze, and above his head was a soft blue sea veil hanging on the beam frame of the finely carved sandalwood bed. The tail of the curtain swayed in the room with the wind, and one could tell it was an ancient noble lady boudoir.

Sitting next to the bed was a young young woman, wearing a blue smoky blouse, a lotus-colored skirt, green tulle on her shoulders, and a moon bun on her head. Color-glazed mandarin duck and golden silk hairpin, a few strands of blue hair fell on her shoulders because of the anxiety she had just shed by the Fengwei Lake, and she looked delicate and charming. She was about thirty years old, with a delicate face and bright eyes, almond-like eyes. Bo was looking at the girl on the bed with worried eyes at this time, and when the girl woke up, the woman's brows relaxed, as if the dark clouds in the sky were swept away by the sun.

Lu Ziyu's head hurt, and the memories of the previous life of the owner of this body flooded in like a tide.

In the previous life, Lu Ziyu was the fourth daughter of the Duke of Lu's mansion. The Duke of Lu's mansion was originally the mansion of bells and bells for generations. In Lu Ziyu's father's generation, because of his mediocre talent, he was frustrated everywhere in Beijing. His title moved to Suzhou.

Suzhou is the old home of the Lu family, and many foundations are here. Although he has no official position, the property left by his ancestors can ensure a prosperous life for the whole family. However, Lu Jinyan returned to the court to be an official, inheriting the legacy of his ancestors. Glory.

The population of the Lu family is relatively prosperous, and all four children are born to Mrs. Lu, which can be regarded as a testament to the deep love between Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu Ziyu has three older brothers, the eldest brother Lu Zhiting, the second brother Lu Zhimu, and the third brother Lu Zhichen .

In the previous life, it was because among the three elder brothers, except for the eldest brother Zhiting, he was outstandingly talented and became the servant of the household department, so Lu Ziyu entered the palace for draft.

Because he was protected in a deep boudoir since he was a child, Lu Ziyu in his previous life was a white lotus flower. After entering the palace, he was not favored by the emperor. Eating a large amount of safflower by mistake caused the palace to be cold and could no longer conceive.

Not long after, I heard people in the palace discussing that her father had committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Lu Ziyu originally wanted to see the emperor to intercede for his father, but she forgot that she had never seen the emperor's face since entering the palace. On the other hand, because he was afraid of competing for favor, he simply became an ostrich and hid in this huge golden cage.

Lu Ziyu thought that as long as she didn't fight or rob, she could spend her life safely in this palace, but she was wrong, she realized that only by earning and robbing could she protect her family and herself well. .

Before she died, because of her deep obsession, she attracted the soul of Lu Ziyu who fell from the miusi bar, and hoped that she would live a new life for her, fulfill her last wish, protect her family, and restore the former glory of the Lu Mansion. Live wantonly.

Lu Ziyu sorted out the thoughts in his mind, sneered and swore inwardly, "Don't worry, I will protect myself and my family in this life, and of course I will not let anyone who hurt you in the palace go." Pass".

Mrs. Lu looked at the strange smile on her child's face, thinking that the water had poured her head into a fool, and she cried out in fright, "My sister Yu, my poor child, why did she become a fool so unfortunately?" what".

"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry and want to eat your glutinous rice balls." Lu Ziyu put away his smile, she is a child of seven or eight years old now, she can't do anything weird, she can only pretend A look of innocence and harmlessness.

"Sister Yu, are you really okay? Is there anything else you can tell your mother about?" Mrs. Lu felt more at ease when she heard that her child did not look like a fool when she spoke to her.

My first three children were all boys, and I was afraid that the fourth child would still be a boy. Like myself, my father-in-law also hoped to have a sister to be his sweet little padded jacket.

Girls are always better than a few monkeys at home, so Lu Ziyu has enjoyed the love of his family all his life. The yard alone is the largest in Lu's mansion, not to mention any rare gadgets, as long as there are The good ones are all picked up by my father and brothers to please me.

Mrs. Lu didn't pay much attention to her three sons since they were young, but she always cared about her fourth daughter. Today, if Sister Yu fell into the lake, if something happened, Mrs. Lu might suffer for the rest of her life. Heartache.

"It doesn't hurt anywhere, mother~, but Yu'er's stomach keeps growling." Lu Ziyu pouted, pointing at his stomach pitifully, and looked at Madam Lu obediently.

Seeing Mrs. Lu so worried about her appearance, I couldn't help being touched. In my previous life, I had never felt the warmth of my loved ones. In this life, I am satisfied with my parents who love her and my brothers who love me.

"Okay, okay, mother is going to make you your favorite glutinous rice balls. You sleep for a while, and mother will come to see you later." Mrs. Lu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, got up and talked to Lu Ziyu, bringing Followed by the two servant girls, they turned and walked outside the house.

Lu Ziyu watched his mother's figure walking farther and farther away from his Lanyue Tower through the window, and then his face sank.

She knew that it was not an accident that she fell into the water this time, because there were scratch marks on her arm, and it was hard to see the scar when it was soaked in water. When Mrs. Lu was there, Lu Ziyu wanted to prevent his mother I was worried, so I didn't talk about it.

When he just opened his eyes and woke up, Lu Ziyu saw Ah Wan, the maid sweeping the floor in his yard, looked at her in panic, and sneaked out of the yard while he was talking to his mother, but no one was there yet.

"Luo Ning, go and get Ah Wan for me." Lu Ziyu instructed Luo Ning, the personal maid who was serving him to drink water.

Luo Ning is the maid given by Mrs. Lu early on. She is quick to do things and is attentive to her master. She is the maid in charge of Lanyue Pavilion. At this moment, Luo Ning listened to the young lady's orders, and hurriedly called three or four rough envoys It's too late for Mammy to look for Ah.
