Chapter 15 Weighing
When Lu Mingxuan arrived at the main room after changing clothes, Lu Zhongxian had already washed and changed into homely clothes, and was waiting for her together with Lu Mingfu.

As soon as Lu Mingxuan came in, Lu Mingfu ordered his mother-in-law to prepare the meal. After the eight dishes and one soup were put on the table in turn, Lu Zhongxian ordered the mother-in-law who served the dishes: "Bring another pot of wine, it's rare for us to be here today. Happy." As he spoke, joy poured out from the corners of his eyes and brows without concealing it.

"Yes, master." The mother-in-law went away in response. It was rare for Lu Mingfu to see her father in such a good mood, so she laughed and said: "I don't know what made Daddy so happy, why don't you tell me and let my sister and I Happy too?"

Lu Zhongxian laughed and said: "Of course I want to tell you all, but I have to wait for the wine to come, after drinking three cups for my father."

Soon the mother-in-law brought a jug of wine, Lu Zhongxian took it, and after drinking three cups in a row, she smiled and said to Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan, "The reason why I am so happy today for my father is because the old lady personally When I met me, I said that I liked Fuer very much when I met yesterday, and said that you are so pitiful that Jianer lost her mother at such a young age, but she is so well-mannered, generous and sensible, it is really rare, I did it all Father is well-bred. He also said that my sister is like this, and my younger sister must not be much worse. After Xuan'er recovers from illness, let me take your sister into the mansion again, and let her look at the old man. Your sisters stayed with you for a few years. First, everyone is from the same family, and you can’t write two characters of "Lu" in one stroke. You don't have a mother to educate you. She can help a little bit, and secondly, it also allows me to have no worries. It is a great blessing to work for the Duke of the country, the first of all the offshoot girls, I am so happy to be my father, how about you, are you happy?"

Before the words finished, Lu Mingfu shouted with surprise on his face: "Really, Daddy, the old lady really said that she would keep my sister and me to be raised by her old man's house for a few years? You didn't lie to us, this is really too much." All right!"

He covered his mouth and smiled again: "I told my younger sister yesterday that if I could live in a fairyland-like place like the Duke's Mansion for a few days, I would be willing to die immediately. Who knows that today's dream will come true, really. God bless, I must pay the gods well!"

In stark contrast to Lu Mingfu's overflowing joy, it was Lu Mingxuan who was caught off guard like being struck by lightning.

Just now Lu Zhongxian said that he was "rarely happy today", and when he asked his wife to serve a pot of wine, Lu Mingxuan actually had a somewhat ominous premonition in her heart, and she didn't want to think that this ominous premonition would become true in the next moment. The old lady didn't even give her a chance to pretend to be sick and delay the attack, she just called Lu Zhongxian to say that she wanted to keep their sisters by her side to raise them, and for this reason, she even took Lu Mingfu along with her, how could she have a second place? A way to go? !

Could it be that if she told Lu Zhongxian bluntly that she didn't want to enter the Duke's mansion, it would not only disappoint his fatherly heart, make Mrs. Lu vent her anger on him, and even ruin Lu Mingfu's lifelong future?No, even if she was killed, she wouldn't be able to say such a thing, especially at this moment, when both Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu were overflowing with joy.

But she is really unwilling to let her step into the big quagmire of the Duke's Mansion again like this, and repeat the mistakes of her previous life-why did God make such a big joke on her?Could it be that her life is still doomed to be a tragedy after reliving her life?

Lu Mingfu was overjoyed for a while. Seeing that Lu Mingxuan remained silent, she couldn't help asking: "Sister, why don't you speak? Are you so happy and silly..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that Lu Mingxuan's face turned pale. Not at all, I couldn't help but jumped up, and hurriedly said: "What's wrong with you, your face is so pale, is your body uncomfortable again? You are really delicate, but you have only kicked the shuttlecock three hundred times, and you are so tired , That's all, I'll let you off for the next few days, after you recover, I'll supervise you kicking shuttlecock again, you can't tell daddy that I forced you and bullied you!"

Lu Zhongxian hurriedly said, "Xuan'er, what's wrong with you? I'll send someone to invite the doctor right away!" He also annoyed Lu Mingfu, "You still have the nerve to complain about your sister's coquettishness. She is still ill, so you force her to kick her." Shuttlecock, isn’t this clearly counterproductive?”

Lu Mingfu was embarrassed by the words, "I didn't know she would be so delicate... Daddy is tired, so let me send someone to invite the doctor, and it will be atonement." She got up and went outside.

Seeing this, Lu Mingxuan forcibly suppressed the uproar in her heart, smiled forcedly and said to Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu, "Don't worry, father and sister, I'm fine, it's just that I suddenly felt dizzy just now, there is no need to call a doctor, yesterday The medicine prescribed by a doctor has not been finished yet, and you will know if it has any effect until you finish it. Dad and sister should continue to eat, don't spoil your interest for me."

"You're really fine?" Lu Mingfu was a little guilty after all, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Mingxuan say this, "Then continue with your meal, and I'll send you back to your room to take your medicine after the meal. Take a rest early, if tomorrow's performance is not good, you may have to change to another doctor, you can't make the old lady wait for a long time, can you?"

Lu Zhongxian nodded, deeply agreeing: "The old lady is an elder, so I really can't keep her waiting for a long time, Xuan'er, you should go back to your room early after eating, and when you are well, I will bring your sisters into the mansion as a father. The old lady kowtows, such a great blessing is not something everyone can have, if we miss it due to our own reasons, we will really regret it for the rest of our lives!"

From the beginning to the end, both father and daughter never asked Lu Mingxuan if she would like to go to the Duke's Mansion, just like they never thought about it. Apart from being happy and willing, Lu Mingxuan might actually be unhappy or unwilling. Like this will.

Thinking about it, it is true that such a good thing falls on the head of any side branch girl in Dingguo Duke's mansion, and there is no reluctance to agree to it. Just look at Lu Zhongxian's face that was just a few years younger in an instant and Lu Mingfu's joy changed They could tell how happy the father and daughter were, how could they think of such a good thing? Lu Mingxuan was not willing at all?
After that, Lu Mingxuan was in a daze all the time. She didn't even know how to eat, how to go back to the room, how to take the medicine, and when she lay down on the bed. She only had one thought in her mind, how could she avoid it? The Duke's Mansion, escaped the fate of the previous life?

However, Lu Mingxuan didn't worry about it for too long before falling asleep, because the doctor added a tranquilizing medicine to her medicine, and she fell asleep quickly after taking the medicine every time.

When she woke up, it was already four o'clock. Maybe it was because she just fell asleep. She only felt that her mind was much clearer, and she couldn't help thinking hard about the countermeasures in the dark.

Now it seems that it is absolutely impossible not to enter the Duke's Mansion. Mrs. Lu has already said that to Lu Zhongxian. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she must also think about Lu Mingfu. Lu Mingfu Already 11 years old, and lost his mother early, in all fairness, it is really difficult to get married; but if Mrs. Lu stays by her side for a few years, it will be very different, just like a gold-plated The silver hairpin is the same, even if it is still a silver hairpin in essence, its value is much higher than that of ordinary silver hairpins. If Lu Mingfu could propose marriage under the name of an old lady who was raised by the Duke's mansion, the situation would naturally be very different .
