Chapter 52: I Don't Owe You
In the room, Mrs. Lu sat with a gloomy expression, and beside her was Lu Shiming and his wife.
"When your eldest brother left, he still remembered you, he couldn't get your forgiveness, he refused to close his eyes, and finally put it off until he told him, you never blamed him, and showed him all the ginseng herbs you sent, and he swallowed his last breath of ......" Old Madam Lu's voice was very low.
Lu Shiming lowered his head, he didn't know about this matter, when he heard that his eldest brother had died, he had already rushed back, but he still didn't have time to see him for the last time, "Mother, I didn't complain about my eldest brother." ”
"I know that you have always had the best relationship with your eldest brother, and the incident of your imperial examination is that your eldest brother can't stand you, and you don't want him to be sad to see you when you go away." Mrs. Lu sighed lightly, "Your sister-in-law is just too sad, don't take her words to heart." ”
Lu Shiming said in a low voice, "Mother, I don't blame my sister-in-law, I know she is unintentional." ”
"You husband and wife have been away from Kyoto for too long, and now that they have finally returned, I hope that the family will be in good shape and not separated again." Old Madam Lu said this by looking at Pei's family.
Pei Shi said with a smile, "Mother, even if you drive us away, we won't leave." ”
Only then did Mrs. Lu feel relieved, "If you leave, it will be even more difficult to delay." ”
"Mother, we know." Pei Shi said softly.
"Since your eldest brother died, the Liu family has been locking herself in the house, and fortunately, she still knows that she has a pair of children, so she didn't go with your eldest brother, and it is not easy to delay, even if your sister-in-law says it in the future...... If it doesn't like you, you can bear with it, just for the sake of me, an old woman. The old lady sighed, "I have lived to this age, and now I just want to see the family reunited, and when I die, you can divide it as you want, anyway, I can't see it." ”
"Mother......" Lu Shiming knelt down in front of Mrs. Lu, "It's me who is not filial!" You shouldn't be out there for so many years, and things at home can't help. ”
Old Madam Lu helped him up, "You get up!" You sacrificed your fame for the sake of your family, which has helped you a lot. ”
"Mother, it's not about the father-in-law, he ...... it for me" Pei hurriedly took the responsibility on himself.
"Well, that's all in the past." Old Madam Lu interrupted Pei's words, "Let's go, it's not early, let's go out to eat, those children should be scared." ”
Pei Shi thought that his daughter didn't know about the past grievances between Dafang and their three rooms, but he was afraid that he would be frightened.
When they arrived at the side hall, several children sat on the side and no one was eating, all waiting for the old lady to land.
"Zan Zhi, go see if your eldest brother and second brother are here." Old Madam Lu commanded, not mentioning Old Madam Lu at all.
Lu Lingzhi and Lu Tingzhi sent the eldest lady back to the house, but the eldest lady Lu was unwilling, holding the hands of her two sons and crying, "I just can't swallow this breath, your father didn't even have his life for the Lu family, why should they sit back and enjoy it, Yanto, Tingzhi, you are my son, don't you understand what my mother is thinking?" ”
"Mother, we all know it, but that's the third uncle." Lu Tingzhi said that he has been by his father's side since he was a child, and he is also clear about what happened back then, he doesn't think his father did anything wrong, but he also feels that the third uncle is not sorry for the big house, if you really talk about it, it is indeed the third uncle who has been wronged.
Mrs. Lu cried and scolded, "Are you all going to help outsiders talk now?" ”
"Tingzhi, you go to the old lady's side first, don't make your grandmother too sad." Lu Lingzhi sat down on the Taishi chair and sent his younger brother out.
Only their mother and son were left in the house.
"Mother, what do you think the third uncle owes us?" Lu Lingzhi looked at his mother and asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu looked at her most valued son and asked with tears in her eyes, "What benefits did the third room give you, and you want to help them like this?" The Lu family has today, what they have done, you and your father are doing, why do they get benefits when they come back? ”
"If it weren't for the third uncle sacrificing his fame, our Lu family would have been dispersed a long time ago, the third uncle could have been a high-ranking official, he gave up for the sake of this family, mother, my father and I have done so much, not just for ourselves, but for everyone in the Lu family to live better, and the third uncle also took into account the Lu family back then, so he didn't say anything about the test paper being changed." Lu Lingzhi said in a deep voice.
Mrs. Lu said hatefully, "I just don't want to ......."
"Mother, what are you unwilling to do? Didn't you want to see you before he died? Dad hid the whole family, and regarded the matter of selling test papers to others as if he did it, so far even the old lady doesn't know that you killed the third uncle, why do you hate the third uncle? Lu Lingzhi asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Lu's face changed, and she looked at her son in shock, "How do you know?" ”
"I guess, the eldest brother can't treat the third uncle like this, you didn't betray the third uncle for the Lu family in the first place, you just did it for personal gain, you are afraid that the third uncle will pass the exam, you are afraid that the third room is better than the big house, mother, the third uncle does not owe us." Lu Lingzhi said in a low voice.
"You...... You also have to be like your father, blaming me for being a mother for outsiders to snub me, right? Mrs. Lu's shoulders trembled, and her face turned pale with anger.
Lu Lingzhi said, "I won't do this to you, mother, I just hope you don't vent your grievances on others again." ”
"What benefits does the third room give you?" Mrs. Lu asked sharply.
"Before my father died, I must help the third uncle, mother." Lu Lingzhi looked at her, "If my mother wants to take advantage of this matter and take back the housekeeping power with the old lady, my son disagrees, you are not in good health, there are second and third aunts in the family, you should take care of your illness!" ”
Mrs. Lu glared at him and asked angrily, "Do you want to put me under house arrest?" ”
"My son doesn't dare, he just wants to ask his mother to take care of his illness and wait until your illness is cured." Lu Lingzhi said that with her mother's current situation, if she was in charge, the Lu family would be dispersed sooner or later.
"I really don't know what benefits Sanfang has given to your father and son...... "Mrs. Lu cried, "I am your mother, your father has snubbed me for more than ten years for Sanfang, do you want to do this?" ”
Since Lu Shiming left Kyoto, Lord Lu has completely snubbed the eldest lady, and he didn't even go further in her house, how could she not hate the third room? Isn't what she did for their good? Why don't you understand her intentions at all?
Lu Lingzhi stood up and said softly, "I won't do this to you, mother, grandmother is still waiting for me, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow." ”
