Chapter 60: Lu's Peace
Mama Du helped Lu Shi straighten her messy hair, wiped her tears, and said gently: "Good madam, you know it all in your heart, why bother asking the slave maid? You are still young, and your beauty is not lost to Miss Mu, how much your grandfather spoils her, you will treat her as much as you want, so that others can't find fault with you! Grandpa naturally feels that he owes you, sooner or later, you will grab that woman's handle and put her to death, why not?"
Lu Shi suddenly straightened his face, got up and sat in front of the dresser, looking at the bronze mirror, his charming appearance, a sense of confidence rose from the bottom of his heart, yes, she not only has children by her side, but also has a heart-warming face of Bai Shizu, she will never lose to anyone!
Reinvigorated his spirits, Lu showed a bright and moving smile, took Mama Du's hand, and said in a low voice: "Mama, if I don't have you by my side, I really don't have the backbone!"
Mama Du shook her head and said humbly: "Madame was just blinded by anger for a while, you don't need to be reminded by the slave, you will also wake up and make the most correct choice!"
"You're right, go to the treasury and pick up a good blood swallow, we will send it to Miss Biao, let her take good care of herself, and wait to be a pair of good sisters with me!" Lu straightened his clothes and made his smile extraordinarily bright.
Mama Du was deeply satisfied with her sudden change, in the end, it was a passing thing, otherwise she would not have stood tall in the Guogong Mansion for so many years.
The two of them brought high-grade blood swallows, and even the Lu family himself was reluctant to use them on weekdays, but they took them all out and sent them to Tangli Garden. When he entered the door, it happened that Bai Muhibi and Old Madam Bai were there, and Lu showed a rare soft smile for many days, and saluted Old Madam Bai respectfully.
"Old lady, my daughter-in-law was ignorant in the past and caused you a lot of trouble, and I hope you don't remember the villain, forgive me!"
Old Madam Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at Bai Hibiscus for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "Come here so late, but what's the matter?"
Seeing that she didn't answer her words, Lu Shi was not annoyed, but smiled flatteringly, and said: "Today is the concubine's recklessness, and the injured Miss Cousin was injured, and I went back to think about it for a long time, but I still felt guilty and uncomfortable, so I came over to take a look, and by the way, I also accompanied the old lady and Miss Cousin, here is the blood swallow that my second sister-in-law sent to me a few days ago to make up for my body, so I will give it to Miss Cousin, and I will be the apology of the concubine!"
The words were sincere, and people felt moved when they heard it, but Bai Mujian and Old Madam Bai knew the Lu family too well, but seeing that the blood swallow was indeed a rare treasure, their hearts were also full of doubts.
Old Madam Bai nodded lightly and said, "Such a good blood swallow, why don't you keep it for yourself?" Xinping just hit her head, but she is not so weak!"
When Lu Shi heard Mrs. Bai's words, she immediately lowered her head a little aggrieved, and then raised her head again and said: "Does the old lady suspect the concubine's intentions? You can let Grandma Sun see, how dare I start eating and eating, the concubine is truly repentant, just like Jin'er said that home and everything is prosperous, it is also a blessing for the concubine to have a caring person to help me take care of my grandfather!"
Seeing that she was so low, Old Madam Bai couldn't blindly let her lose face, after all, the Lu family was still the righteous Duchess of Ningguo, so she said: "If you have a heart, I will accept it for Xinping, it's good if you can be so knowledgeable, we are the family of the minister, don't do something that hurts the dignity!"
Lu Shi happily handed the bird's nest to Grandma Sun, nodded and said, "Yes, the concubine has written it down, please rest assured, I don't know if Miss Biao is not there, and the concubine wants to apologize to her personally!"
Old Madam Bai nodded, she was very satisfied with Lu's performance in understanding current affairs, she didn't care what mistakes Lu had made before, as long as she could be obedient in the future, and stop trying to go against herself, then she could completely avoid the past.
Old Madam Bai said: "She rests in the west wing, let Jin'er accompany you!"
Lu thanked the old lady again, respectfully retired, and then followed Bai Mujin out of the old lady's house and transferred to the west wing where Mu Xinping lived.
"Jin'er, are you still blaming your mother?" Lu suddenly looked at Bai Hibiscus with a somewhat apprehensive expression.
Bai Mu Hibiscus didn't know what she had in mind, so he asked a little puzzled: "Why did Mother say this? How dare Jin'er blame Mother?"
Lu knew that she was deliberately pretending to be confused, so he made her words clear and said: "Jin'er, a few days ago, my mother did something wrong, and she was confused for a while, don't you take it to heart, let's still be as affectionate as in the past, okay?"
Bai Mujin didn't expect Lu to admit his mistake directly, but he was a little surprised, but when he thought of Lu's temperament, he didn't make any fuss, so he also pretended to be calm and said: "Where my mother said, there are all parents in the world, and only filial piety is the part of children, where do you dare to blame your parents, my mother is too careful!"
Seeing her like this, Lu rubbed his eyes with a handkerchief, and said aggrievedly: "I still refuse to forgive my mother when I think about it, hey...... In fact, there are many misunderstandings in this, even if your mother explains a lot, you won't believe it, but in the long run, you will definitely understand your mother's sincerity to you!"
Seeing her such a pretentious attitude, Bai Mujin couldn't help but feel disgusted in her heart, but she forced herself to press it, and said with a clever smile: "Mother is really, such an adult is still crying in front of her daughter, which makes people afraid to say that I am a bully mother who is a daughter, just as my mother said, how can I not understand my mother's hard work?"
She understands it too well, and understands that even if the Lu family has changed a pair of Guanyin skins now, she also knows that what is hidden in it is a black and smelly heart, and no one can simply think that the wicked will repent for no reason after experiencing such a painful lesson.
Lu Shi listened to her meaningful words, and there was a burst of anger in her heart, what a girl who didn't know what to do, even if she deliberately surrendered, she couldn't impress her, it seems that she and Bai Hibiscus have already formed a deep enmity, and they will have to fight to the death before they can stop.
Although he thought so in his heart, Lu still had an amiable appearance on his face, and said, "It's good if you know!"
"Mother, when you arrive, do you want to talk to your cousin alone, or do you want Jin'er to accompany you?" Bai Mujian looked at Mu Xinping's door and asked tentatively.
Lu Shi took her hand and said with a smile: "I'm just here to apologize, what else is there to see, you also happen to be a witness to me, and help my mother persuade your cousin and aunt, don't break up with me!"
Bai Mujin smiled noncommittally, and then knocked on the door, it was Yan'er who came to open the door, and when he saw Lu, his face changed slightly, but he still saluted respectfully.
"Miss Biao is awake, is it convenient for us to go in and sit?" Lu put on a kind smile, and Yan'er was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know how to let the door go.
Bai Mu Hibiscus coughed lightly and said, "Yan'er, my mother is here to visit my cousin!"
Yan'er reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped aside, and respectfully invited in, Mu Xinping was resting in the inner room, she had already heard the movement outside, and when she saw Lu and Bai Mujian coming in, she struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Lu Shi hurriedly pressed her, and blamed her with concern: "You are not feeling well, what are you doing when you get up?" and lie down, we are all a family now, what kind of hypocrisy are you talking about!"
Mu Xinping didn't expect Lu's attitude to change so quickly, and she was a little stunned for a while, until she received Bai Mujian's hidden and meaningful eyes, she came to her senses, and thanked her with a smile: "Thank you cousin-in-law for your concern, I'm just a little dizzy, and I'm so weak that I can't get out of bed, so much so that my cousin-in-law laughs!"
Saying that, he still wanted to sit up, but he was pulled by Lu, with a sincere smile on his face, and said: "Don't be polite to me, you should call me sister soon, I was confused that day, and said a lot of ugly things, my sister still blames me?"
Mu Xinping hurriedly said nervously: "Cousin-in-law, don't say that, you have to shame me, it's because I'm too impulsive, no wonder cousin-in-law!"
"My sister is really a big-bellied person, let's get along well in the future, serve my grandfather together, regardless of each other, do you think it's okay?" Lu took Mu Xinping's hand, as if he was afraid that she would not agree, and stared straight at Mu Xinping.
Mu Xinping is not stupid, knowing that the Lu family has suffered such a big loss, it is impossible to get rid of her previous suspicions, and now this attitude is just to let down her guard and achieve her reputation as virtuous. He replied shyly and timidly: "Cousin-in-law, you can be so kind and generous, it really makes me feel ashamed, how can I refuse! After all, I am young, and many things still rely on my cousin-in-law to mention in front, you must not annoy me for those past filths!"
Lu secretly thought that this Mu Xinping was really not a vegetarian, her mind was very lively, and she could adjust her mentality so quickly, but she had to be more vigilant, her face was stiff for a moment, but she soon smiled softly: "Don't say this, it's all my fault, I just loosened some blood swallows and handed them over to Grandma Sun, let her tell the small kitchen of Tang Liyuan to stew for you to nourish your body, take care of your body as soon as possible, and marry me early, I am looking forward to you officially changing your words and calling me sister!"
said as if how much she was looking forward to Bai Shizu marrying Mu Xinping back, Bai Muhibiscus looked at it coldly from the side, and felt that the Lu family was able to calculate step by step to the end in her previous life, it was really not luck, and her endurance alone was not comparable to ordinary people.
In the afternoon, I was so angry that I almost went crazy, and it didn't take two hours for me to change my face, and my sisterly attitude was deep, if I let Bai Shizu see it, I don't know how to be happy, can I not like such a virtuous and generous wife? What a clever means.
It's just that I don't know how long the Lu family can endure it, Mu Xinping is by no means as easy to handle as she seems on the surface, she is supple on the face, but in her bones she is a person who can be ruthless to herself, if it weren't for this, she wouldn't have broken her head and made Bai Shizu feel so distressed, so she would make up her mind to lift her.
But this is what she is willing to see, in the future, the Lu family is afraid that she will have to take out a hundred times her strength to pretend to be virtuous and generous, but she is afraid that she will not be able to bear it for a while, and her efforts will be wasted, so she just watches the play on the side.
Lu and Mu Xinping came and went, politely to each other for a long time, and there was really a feeling of releasing their previous suspicions and feeling like old friends at first sight. It's just that they both know in their hearts that this apparent peace doesn't know how long it can last.
Some feuds can be resolved, but the conflict of interests cannot be settled, the two fundamentally have conflicts of interest, and they can't be a pair of good sisters anyway.
