from widow to dame

Chapter 72

"Mother, I beg you, please save Auntie!" A thin figure rushed over from nowhere, knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

Su Huiniang stopped her steps and raised her eyebrows in doubt.Madam Lu's face next to her was so dark that water dripped out: "You girl, what's wrong with you, hurry up and get up."

The girl didn't get up when she heard this, instead she knelt down a few steps, grabbed Mrs. Lu's trouser legs tightly, and said with tears like rain: "Mother, my aunt is dying of illness, please do me a favor and find a doctor to help you." Let her see!"

Mrs. Lu's face turned purple when she heard this. What does she mean?When she said that she abused her concubine's room, she glanced at Su Huiniang aside in embarrassment, and she saw something unusual in the other's eyes.

At this moment, Mrs. Lu wanted to bite her silver teeth, and she angrily taught: "Look at what you look like now, don't you see that there is a distinguished guest at home, come here, take her away for me."

"No, mother, listen to me, my aunt is really going to be unable to hold on..."

Just as the girl was crying like rain and begging bitterly, Su Huiniang also saw her appearance clearly at this moment. This girl was very handsome and aged fifteen or sixteen, and she was just about to bloom. Coupled with the miserable and helpless expression at this moment, it adds three points of beauty. In terms of appearance, it is indeed better than the other sisters. When Su Huiniang's eyes were still waiting to observe, suddenly, she seemed to see something. His eyes suddenly froze like pinpricks.

She saw the girl's hand, which was thin and white, but it was different because she actually had six fingers.

The Lu family?Lu Yu?six fingers?

Su Huiniang took a step back in shock, her face full of disbelief.

Her expression immediately misunderstood Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Lu was no longer furious at this time, but was going to kill someone. She intended to marry the Su family, but now such a thing was exposed. Shave!

Kill her, definitely kill her, let her die with her sick mother.

Just when Madam Lu was spinning all kinds of thoughts in her head, there were already two people who looked like mothers who were about to step forward to catch the girl. At this moment, Su Huiniang said, "Stop!"

"Mrs. Lu, human life is the most important thing, you should send a doctor to take a look with this girl!" Su Huiniang suggested with a 'gentle' face.

Madam Lu's complexion changed three times in a row, and finally she couldn't get in the way of her feelings, so she nodded with a forced smile, and said reluctantly, "That's exactly how it should be."

Hearing this, the girl was overjoyed with tears on her face, and then gave Su Huiniang a grateful look.

Soon, she got up and left with the two mothers who had received orders. Su Huiniang looked at her hurried back, and still felt a strong sense of disbelief in her heart.She really didn't expect that she would meet such a "famous" woman here, the world is really impermanent.

After such an episode, Madam Lu and the other ladies' enthusiasm for appreciating the plums dropped by fifty percent. Even Su Huiniang, who was sitting in the stone pavilion, began to lose consciousness from time to time.

"I made Miss Su laugh..." Mrs. Lu obviously wanted to say something to restore her image, and the girls beside her also joined in, and their words were full of love for that Lu Yu. Contemptuousness, and admiration for Mrs. Lu's kindness.

Hearing this, Su Huiniang raised her head and looked at the people around her. Suddenly, she sighed softly, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

Did you ever know that such a humble concubine who you despise, revil, and despise, will have some achievements in the future?Su Huiniang thought quietly, this is such a woman, she will enter the palace in the future, become a concubine, and give birth to a child, her son will become the next emperor of Darui Dynasty, and she will become the queen mother.

That Empress Dowager Lu who has power over the world and is supreme.

This feeling of trance and absurdity didn't slow down until Su Huiniang came out of Lu's house. In her previous life, she also had an audience with Empress Dowager Lu, but at that time, Empress Dowager Lu was already a drooping old woman. If it weren't for the fact that she has six fingers on her hand, Su Huiniang probably wouldn't be able to associate this girl kneeling on the ground begging with the queen mother who will have endless majesty in the future.

However, no matter how unbelievable, no matter how absurd it feels.Su Huiniang's life doesn't have much to do with it. When she is in a good mood, Su Huiniang no longer deliberately thinks about this matter. Of course, she doesn't mean to curry favor with the future queen mother. It's not because of how "noble" her character is. It's really because Lu Yu's temperament can't really be called kind, but after he got the power, he tortured all the people who had sinned against her before to death, even his aunt and his wife. She is a person who is not spared by the sisters in the family, otherwise there will be no descendants who call her "the most poisonous woman in the world".

But obviously, Mrs. Lu is still very enthusiastic about their family. From time to time, she would send someone to invite her, but Su Huiniang rejected them all. After a few times, Mrs. Lu also felt the other party's indifference. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that it must be because of Lu Yu's actions that day. She harbored hatred in her heart, and instead came to intensify her anger and began to torture Lu Yu's mother and daughter. Not long after, Lu Yu's biological mother, who was already terminally ill, let go just like that The world is gone.

Because the two families are relatively close to each other, Su Huiniang also sent someone to pay attention to this matter, so she found out about it. After pondering for a while, she ordered Mu Xiang to send 100 taels of silver to Lu Pu, secretly of course. Mu Xiang pondered for a long time before she bought a servant from Lu's mansion to complete the matter.

In this way, time passed, and when the spring blossoms and the temperature gradually rises, the three-yearly examination of Da Ruichao is about to begin.

County Examination, Government Examination, and General Examination correspond to Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren respectively.Among them, only students who have passed the examination can be qualified to serve as officials in the imperial court, so you can imagine how lively and restless Shangjing is at this time.Those students who were far away from home had to travel long distances to get there, but it was much more convenient for Su Wen who lived in Shangjing. He didn't choose to stay in the academy to study, but returned home to prepare for the final sprint.

For Su Wen's examination, Lin was the most nervous and restless one, she was grinding all day long, and she lost a lot of weight in a short time.But Su Wen...

Su Huiniang had talked to him before, but Su Wen seemed very confident, and he also said that this time the right should be a test, if he fails, he will not be discouraged, and he will come back next time.Seeing his steady expression, Su Huiniang felt quite calm about honor and disgrace, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

From then on, Su Huiniang stopped asking Su Wen about any matters in the imperial examination, and she didn't let Mrs. Lin ask. She just took care of his basic necessities of life. In order to get good grades, in addition to the accumulated knowledge, a healthy and full of energy Qishen's body is also very important. You must know that it will take ten days to take the exam. People are locked in the exam room. Has anyone fallen down in the examination room and been carried out?

In this way, another two months passed, and on the hottest day in Daruichao, the triennial examination began.

Neither Su Huiniang nor Mrs. Lin went to see her off, but stood at the door of their house watching Su Wen board the carriage.

"Huiniang, do you think Wen'er can do it?" Lin asked with a look of worrying about gain and loss.

Su Huiniang smiled slightly, with a hint of affirmation in her expression: "Okay!"

On the fourth day after Su Wen entered the examination room, an unexpected guest came to the Su family.

Su Huiniang looked at the girl in front of her, her heart was beating wildly several times, she smiled calmly and said, "Miss Lu has arrived suddenly, what's the matter?"

Lu Yan raised his pale face to look at Su Huiniang, and finally gritted his teeth, wanting to kneel down on the ground like that.

How could Su Huiniang make her kneel, you must know that this person is very small-minded, if you let her kneel today, she will be able to dig out her kneecap tomorrow.Su Huiniang quickly grabbed her arm: "If you have something to say, you don't have to."

Lu Yan then said: "To tell you the truth, I came to the door this time to ask for something."

"What's the matter, Miss Lu just tell me."

Lu Yu is a very careful, sensitive and suspicious woman. Her mother died some time ago, and this girl from the Su family who only met once gave her 100 taels of silver. From this, she knew that the other party was treating her She has good intentions, although she doesn't know where the good intentions come from, but her current situation is getting worse and worse. The aunt has already arranged a marriage for herself, and the other party is actually a farmer in the suburbs of Beijing. How could she be willing, but the mother-in-law pressed her hard, she was isolated and helpless no matter inside or outside the house, desperate, she thought of Su Huiniang, so she came here in such a hurry.

Su Huiniang frowned slightly after hearing about Lu Yan's situation, and asked, "How do you want me to help?"

A look of firmness appeared on Lu Yu's face, and she said: "Mother has already accepted the other party's marriage letter, and it is too late to repent, so there is only one way now..."

Su Huiniang's heart moved, and sure enough, Lu Yu said, "I want to enter the palace."

There are two ways for a woman to enter the palace.One is to enter the palace as a concubine through selection.The other one is a little bit worse, and their status is not as good as the former. They are going to serve people, and they are called palace maids.

Obviously, Lu Jia wanted to take the latter path.
