Chapter 71 It is indeed an obstacle
"Madam, it seems that there is the Third Young Master and the Third Young Madam outside." The brisk voice of the little maid sounded in the carriage.
Mrs. Lu gently twisted the Buddhist beads with her right hand. After hearing this, she opened her eyes, and a sharp look flashed across her eyes.
"There are only two young masters in the mansion." Her voice was cold and she glared at the little maid with a warning look. "If you remember wrongly again in the future, you will leave the mansion on your own."
The little maid trembled and lowered her head, not daring to speak any more.
"The little girl is stupid, madam, don't argue with her." Grandma Sun handed a cup of tea to Madam Lu, "Madam asked for a good fortune today, you should be happy."
Master Liao Kong personally interpreted the lot and said that the Lu family has a son who will change the family name in the future.
Mrs. Lu's face softened, she took the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile: "My Yuan'er is indeed a promising person. It's not in vain that the master and I have spent a lot of thought on him."
"The eldest young master is still a filial man." Grandma Sun answered obediently, "Yesterday, I sent someone to send blood swallows to replenish my wife's body. I heard that the eldest son didn't leave any room, and the eldest young lady had a fight with the eldest young master because of this. What a sentence."
Mrs. Lu snorted coldly, "I am Yuan'er's biological mother, so how can Mr. Li compare with me? When you return home, you personally send two volumes of Buddhist scriptures to the main room for Mr. Li to copy."
"Yes." Grandma Sun responded respectfully.
The carriage stopped in front of the Lu Mansion. Grandma Sun helped Mrs. Lu get out of the carriage, but she saw an unfamiliar boy running out of the house in a hurry.
Mrs. Lu frowned, "Stop!"
The boy paused and turned around to salute Mrs. Lu.
"Raise your head." Madam Lu stared at the young man, "If you don't bow to your mistress when you see her, who taught you the rules?"
She hates slaves who don't understand the rules.
The young man said: "The eldest young master ordered the younger one to go to the Yamen. The younger one was in a hurry and accidentally bumped into the madam. Please forgive me."
Mrs. Lu frowned, "Why did Yuan'er ask you to go to the Yamen?"
The young man said: "Madam, please forgive me, but the eldest young master will not let others talk about it."
How is she a stranger?
Madam Lu was about to get angry, when Grandma Sun reached out to support her and softly persuaded her, "Madam, it doesn't matter whether you punish him or not. Don't delay the young master's affairs."
When she thought of her eldest son, Mrs. Lu became less angry and waved her hand to let the young man leave.
The young man bowed gratefully to Grandma Sun and ran away.
Mrs. Lu tilted her head and looked at her nanny, "You would actually use me as a favor."
"Old slave, I don't dare." Grandma Sun helped Mrs. Lu up the steps with an apologetic smile, "It's all because of Madam's kindness. If he wants to remember Madam, he is also a good son of Madam. What does it have to do with Old slave?"
Mrs. Lu revealed the matter with a laugh and told the maid, "Go to Yunlan Courtyard and see what the eldest young master is doing."
"Yes." The little maid took the order and left.
Mrs. Lu returned to the main courtyard, washed herself and changed into a set of homely clothes, then picked up the account book and looked at it carefully.
The maid came in with a cup of stewed blood swallow, and Grandma Sun took it and handed it to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu put down the account book, stirred it gently with a spoon, and then drank two spoonfuls. The little maid came back.
"Back to Madam, the eldest young master is in the study studying."
Mrs. Lu said "hmm", raised her eyes and saw the little maid hesitated to speak, and said displeasedly: "I've already said something, why are you so hesitant?"
"When this slave came back, I heard something about... Mr. Lu." Mrs. Lu was stunned for a moment. After she understood who this Mr. Lu was, her face suddenly became cold, and a deep disgust flashed in her eyes. color.
The little maid was worried about being punished, so she quickly recounted what she had heard.
"My servant heard that Shopkeeper Ge from Mipu caught Mr. Lu committing adultery with a woman. The two went to court to confront each other. After interrogation by the magistrate, it turned out that Shopkeeper Ge and people from Mipu deliberately framed him. Shopkeeper Ge and a boy named Wang Fei Sentenced to death."
"Very good!" Mrs. Lu said angrily, snapping up several cases, "I was kicked out of the house without thinking about myself, but I actually turned against my family members. It's really an evil deed!"
The maids in the room were so frightened that they knelt on the floor. Grandma Sun waved her hands to everyone and asked the maids to go out first.
She stepped forward to give Mrs. Lu some relief, "Madam, please don't be angry, or you may get angry."
"Mommy, why do you think I gave birth to such a cold-blooded monster like him?" Mrs. Lu gasped with anger, her eyes filled with tears, "It was difficult for me to get pregnant with him. I almost miscarried several times. It was so difficult to survive. When she was eight months old, she suddenly gave birth prematurely and almost died."
"I took pity on his frailty and took care of him myself. Even if I hired a wet nurse, I would breastfeed him myself during the day. Which of his first two brothers had drank my milk? He was sick every three days and had high fever at night. I didn't do it every time. Susu's Ao never takes advantage of others?"
"It's easy to raise him to four years old, and he can finally be away from people for a while. I just went out for a while, and he almost bit Yuan'er's ear off."
"He is only four years old and he wants to swallow his brother's flesh and blood alive. How could I give birth to such a monster?"
Mrs. Lu will never forget that bloody scene.
The four-year-old child's mouth was full of blood, and her teeth were still stained with flesh foam. She looked like an evil ghost crawling out of hell. She stretched out her blood-stained hands and called her mother innocently.
She can still have nightmares about the child suddenly rushing towards her and biting her flesh and blood.
Since then, she no longer dared to take care of the child herself. Even though the child was sick and almost died several times, she would only stand outside the yard and take a look at him from a distance.
Yuan'er, on the other hand, not only doesn't care about the harm his brother has done to him, but also visits him from time to time.
One time she saw the injury on Yuan'er's arm and asked the servant who was serving her. Then she found out that the child had never gotten rid of his biting habit, especially towards his brother Yuan'er. He always pretended to be good and waited for Yuan'er to Bites if approached.
Yuan'er is filial and well-behaved, loves his brothers regardless of past grudges, and wants to be a good brother, but what he gets is repeated injuries from his brothers.
They were both obviously children crawling out of her belly, so why were they so different?
Mrs. Lu's mind wandered far away, and she couldn't help but feel cold when she thought of the evil things Lu Chengjing had done when he was young.
A child less than ten years old actually tortured and beat his servants to death, and even ordered them to be chopped into pieces and fed to dogs.
Where is this innocent and cute child? He is clearly a demon!
She didn't dare to let the child stay at home anymore and sent him away on the pretext of recovering from illness. Unexpectedly, after two years of Ansheng, the master learned that the child was intelligent, so he took him back and raised him in the house.
Fortunately, now that the people have been exterminated, the cold-blooded monster can no longer hurt her Yuan'er!
On the other side, Shitou drove an ox cart to pick up Shang Wan and the others and headed to the mason's residence where they had found out.
Passing by a pawn shop on the way, Shang Wan got out of the car and pawned the jade pendant.
Although jade is a rare and good jade, because of the words engraved on the jade pendant, the pawnshop owner deliberately lowered the price, and in the end it was only pawned for fifteen taels of silver.
Originally, the shopkeeper only provided ten taels, but after Shang Wan's friendly negotiation and the fact that he was a deadbeat, he added an additional five taels.
Although it was far from what he expected, Shang Wan thought that there would be free money on both sides. Fifteen taels would be fifteen taels.
She put the baggage containing the money on Lu Chengjing's lap, deliberately teasing him.
However, Lu Chengjing was even more silent than before, and his state was very strange.
