Chapter 19 Finalized
But as long as she thinks that it is precisely because of Mrs. Lu's meddling or doing bad things with good intentions that she was deeply trapped in the big quagmire of the Duke's Mansion in her previous life, and ended up with one corpse and two lives in the end, she can't do it again. As in the previous life, she respected and loved Mrs. Lu from the bottom of her heart, even as she thought before, even if she didn't enter the Duke's mansion, her existence was still a time bomb, and when Lu Mingzhu found out next year, she would not let her go She still couldn't do it—after all, she still had resentment towards Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingzhu, especially Lu Zhongyu who caused all this. What she lost was the most precious life and innocent flesh and blood. How can she not complain or hate? !

The only good thing is that the girls in the Duke's Mansion are not here at the moment, so she doesn't have to face Lu Mingzhu directly, otherwise she really can't tell what she will do out of control.

Madam Lu naturally had no way of knowing the churning emotions in Lu Mingxuan's heart. The sight of Double Happiness brought in Lu Mingfu, whom she had only met a few days ago, and another strange little girl, who was leaning on the big red flowered golden thread pillow. Mrs. Lu immediately sat up, waved to Lu Mingfu and said with a smile: "Miss Fu is here, is this your sister Xuan? Come quickly, my old lady, and see if your sister is the same as you Beautiful and sensible."

Lu Mingfu hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted, and said with a smile: "This is indeed my sister-in-law Mingxuan, but our sisters can't be praised by your old lady, the old lady. If you want to say that they are beautiful, the girls in the Duke's Mansion are really beautiful. My sister and I are far behind." Turning her head, she ordered Lu Mingxuan in a low voice, "Have you met the old lady soon?"

Lu Mingxuan took a deep breath before she calmed down a little, and bowed her knees to salute Mrs. Lu: "Mingxuan has met the old lady, wishing the old lady good health and a long life!"

A smile filled Old Madam Lu's eyes, and she said, "What a sweet-mouthed child, look up and let me have a look."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan pursed her lips, then raised her head with a just right smile, and met Mrs. Lu's gaze.

Old Madam Lu was stunned, and her clear eyes were a bit dazed, as if she was reminiscing about something, she came back to her senses after a while, then took Lu Mingxuan's hand, and said in a low voice, somewhat sadly: " You are quite similar to your mother. When she first came to serve me, she was still a little girl, not much taller than you are now. Who knows that her daughter is already so old now. There is a strange saying called 'Time makes people old', before I know it, the children are getting older, and I am also getting old, and I don't know how many years I have left to live..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice from the side laughed and said: "What did mother say, we are still waiting for you and father to live a long life, and the five generations of the family live together, and the sixth generation lives together!"

The person who spoke wore a peony beige with purple peony flowers, a blue and white gourd pattern of eight blessings and a floor-length skirt, a peony bun with a phoenix hairpin with nine tails dripping emerald green on the side. Although not very beautiful, he was well-mannered and graceful , not someone else, but the current Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Dingguo, who is also the younger sister of Empress Xu, and the head mother of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help laughing: "If you live for a few more decades, won't you really become an old goblin? By then, you won't dislike me much, and I will dislike myself more." After speaking, she turned to Lu Ming Fu said: "You have seen your first aunt and second aunt last time, so you can lead your younger sister to meet them."

Lu Mingfu hastily bowed her knees to answer, and led Lu Mingxuan to greet Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, but she did not dare to follow Mrs. Lu's words and call the two wives aunts, but said: "Mingfu has seen Mrs. Lu , met the second lady."

This is exactly what Lu Mingxuan wanted, and she didn't want to get too close to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu at the beginning. It would give people a feeling of not knowing what to do, so she also said: "Mingxuan has seen Mrs. Lu , met the second lady."

Mrs. Lu laughed, and said, "This child is so well-born! What's your name, Ma'am, it's a no-brainer." After speaking, she glanced at the maid standing behind her, and the latter presented a black lacquer carved The small box contained a peony flower-shaped golden step shaker inlaid with emeralds, and said with a smile: "This is a new look that just came out in the palace a few days ago, you can wear it and play with it!"

Although the words were spoken politely and the greetings were generous enough, they didn't say anything to make the two sisters call her 'Auntie'. Obviously, Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan's sense of proportion was just right.

The meeting gift given to Lu Mingxuan by the Second Mrs. Qu's is a jade swallow jade hairpin. She is a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a magenta phoenix-tailed bezel, wearing a phoenix bird with golden steps, and a pretty face. Beautiful, with a soft voice, exuding the grace and restraint of Jiangnan women, perhaps because she is a concubine and daughter-in-law, she doesn't talk much, and she laughs before saying anything to everyone, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

After Lu Mingxuan received the meeting gift from the two wives, Mrs. Lu smiled and said: "Look at me, I forgot to give the meeting gift to Miss Xuan. She is really old and her memory is not good." She stroked her wrist A beautifully carved chicken blood jade bracelet was involuntarily slipped on Lu Mingxuan's wrist. The blood red jade bracelet set off Lu Mingxuan's fair wrist, making it indescribably beautiful.

All the people in the room, including Mrs. Lu, were stunned for a moment, because the bracelet seemed inconspicuous, but it was worn by Mrs. Lu for decades. It was of extraordinary significance, but now it was given to Lu Mingxuan For a side girl who has only met once, people really can't help but think about what kind of virtue and ability Lu Mingxuan is capable of, to make Mrs. Lu look so impressive?
Mrs. Lu didn't seem to notice everyone's surprise, she was still smiling and talking to Lu Mingfu and Lu Mingxuan: "When I met girl Fu a while ago, I felt very good, whether it's rules and etiquette or speaking and acting. Excellent, it's the same when I see Miss Xuan now, it can be seen that your father taught you well, only your father is a big man, and you are one year old and two years old, I'm afraid there are things he can't consider The key point is that if there is no female elder in the girl's family to teach, it will be difficult to talk about marriage in the future... Otherwise, you can stay with me for a few years, and the sisters will learn some rules together and explain to me along the way If you are lonely, you can also let your father run errands for the house without any worries, are you willing? If you are willing, I will let someone talk to your father."

What he said made everyone in the room even more suspicious. There are already five girls in the Duke's Mansion. Even if the old lady wanted to relieve her boredom, she wouldn't have to keep two side girls who had only seen it once or twice by her side for a few days. Years?There must be some other reason for this... But having said that, these two girls are really lucky. After being in the eyes of the old lady, no matter whether it is marriage or marriage in the future, they don't have to worry about candidates and dowry.

Although Lu Mingfu had already learned from Lu Zhongxian that their sisters might be stayed in the Duke's mansion by Mrs. Lu for a few years, but after all, it was only a possibility, not a certainty, and now she finally heard from Mrs. Lu herself. Having said that, I can imagine how happy I was. I hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Lu, and couldn't help saying: "Thank you for your kindness, Mrs. Lu, we are willing!"
