Chapter 208: Bitterness

Lu Jiang sat in the middle of the ancestral hall, looking at Lu Tianyang with a rather indifferent gaze, as if Lu Tianyang, who was peerless, couldn't get into his eyes at all.

The patriarch's father is still like this, except for Mrs. Lu who wiped her tears, the rest of the Lu family's attitude towards Lu Tianyang is by no means cordial.

Who forced Lu Tianyang to come back?

They put on this appearance as if they had been wronged.

Ah Jiu pursed his lips, he really hated the hypocritical Lu family, and when he was about to speak, Lu Tianyang calmly lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt on the futon that had already been prepared.

Several young people in the Lu family opened their mouths in shock.

Needless to say, how arrogant Lu Tianyang was, at the same time, his previous experience and resentment towards the Lu family and the county lord of Zhaohua ...... How could he say kneel and kneel?

The atmosphere of the entire ancestral hall suddenly became solemn, even if the corners of Lu Jiang's mouth were stiff.

Ah Jiu didn't know why his heart seemed to be redrawn, a little sour, and a little painful.

"Son Lu Tianyang visits his father."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Not. โ€

Lu Jiang's hands were clenched into fists, and he watched his 'son', who had never taken himself seriously, bowing and bowing, sitting on the chair as if there were nails on it, and moved his body uneasily, "Get up." โ€

When he knelt, no one would pay attention to Ah Jiu anymore, and naturally no one would remind Ah Jiu to also salute Lu Jiang.

"Grandchildren visit grandmothers."

"Good, good, good." Mrs. Lu's tears fell even more fiercely, and her arm was on Lu Tianyang's shoulder, "God open your eyes." It is really blessed by our ancestors. โ€

Turning his head to Lu Jiang, who had complicated eyes: "I said a long time ago that Tianyang is a good child who is filial. โ€

Lu Tianyang smiled reservedly, and protected Ah Jiu behind him, and the last one...... Lord Zhaohua!

Exhale slowly. Lu Tianyang seemed to be about to spit out the stuffiness that had been pressing on his chest for more than ten years.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Meet...... Mother. โ€

Lu Tianyang lowered his head in front of the county lord of Zhaohua, and his fingers almost cut through the futon under his knees, "Mother is fine." โ€

Each word seems to weigh a thousand pounds.

Lu Tianyang laughed at himself so much that he hooked the corners of his mouth, and he didn't feel too embarrassed to call the word mother in the end.

Lu Lingfeng, who was standing beside the county lord of Zhaohua, looked down at Lu Tianyang with a sรจ expression, but his face was fleeting, and he was afraid that no one would pay attention to him at this time.

The county lord of Zhaohua bit his lip and forcibly suppressed the ups and downs of his heart. Lu Tianyang lowered his head, she could only see the top of his head, and she could only feel that even though he was kneeling, he was more imposing than others.

He knelt on his knees...... He also called himself mother. The county lord of Zhaohua felt an indescribable taste in his heart, and his black eyes were full of complicated and incomprehensible colors.

Xu didn't even understand that she had grown up as a child.

For the first time, the county lord of Zhaohua looked at Lu Tianyang without any emotion, he was a month younger than Ling Feng. Although it was born at term, it was held in the mother's body for too long. The body is not very good.

However, no matter how bad her body is, she is not as bad as Ling Feng, when she was about to give birth, she was about to die to protect the Lu family from danger, so she almost caused Ling Feng to die.

Now that he is in better health than Ling Feng, a layer of anger was smeared on the eyebrows of the county lord of Zhaohua.

"Mother, let the fourth brother get up."

Lu Lingfeng suddenly flashed out, grabbed ahead of the county lord of Zhaohua, and helped Lu Tianyang up with the demeanor of a brother, "Fourth brother." โ€

As if there had never been any contradiction between them.

Lu Tianyang lightly pushed Lu Lingfeng away. "Third brother doesn't have to be polite."

didn't save face for Lu Lingfeng at all!

How could the county lord of Zhaohua see his son humiliated, especially in front of the Lu family's relatives. The son is the prince of Chengguo and the heir of the Lu family.

"Since you have come back and called me my biological mother again, your name is still ......"

Under Lu Tianyang's gaze, she couldn't say the word Weichen.

"My current name was given by my father-in-law, who raised me for more than ten years, I can't forget my father-in-law, and you don't want me to be ungrateful."

Lu Tianyang chuckled and spit out two words: "Yes, mother." โ€

"It's good to come back, and I'll talk about the name later." Mrs. Lu grabbed Lu Tianyang, "Give incense to Liu Zuliezong, you have to pay a good respect, you have had many twists and turns over the years, but you can always turn evil into good fortune, obviously the ancestors bless you." โ€

Lu Tianyang obeyed Mrs. Lu's wishes and offered incense to the ancestral shrine in the ancestral hall.

Subsequently, he was pulled by his warm and loving grandmother to introduce the Lu family.

The real intimacy is the eldest uncle Lu Hai and the third uncle Lu He.

Only the three of them lived in the Chengguo Mansion.

Lu Hai's body is weak and emaciated, and he has been pressed by the radiant Lu Jiang, and his mental state is not very good. However, Ah Jiu noticed that Lu Lingyu, the real eldest son and grandson of the Lu family, was not as distant and indifferent to Lu Tianyang as others.

There was an inexplicable look of admiration in his eyes, and he asked Lu Tianyang about the battles he had commanded, and he admired and envied Lu Tianyang during his conversation.

The aura of the Lu family and the strength of the Lu Jiang family make him mediocre and passable.

"It's not necessarily bad to grow up in the Lu family."

He muttered so quietly.

Because of Lu Tianyang's 'obedience', naturally no one will come to give Ah Jiu a horse, she can calmly see the Lu family and the Lu family's daughters-in-law.

Lu Lingyu's wife Xia Shi did not have a good attitude towards Ah Jiu, and frequently talked and laughed with Lu Lingfeng's wife, the daughter of the crown prince, and threw Ah Jiu aside.

The county lord of Zhaohua acquiesced to Xia's actions.

However, Ah Jiu doesn't care about this, and he can see a qiqi clearly when he is a little snubbed.

"I've cleaned up the courtyard for you, I'll go and see what's missing, just tell me."

Mrs. Lu said to Ah Jiu.

"Don't bother you, Master Hou has a mansion in the back street."

"What, you don't live in the Guogong Mansion?"

"You are angry." Ah Jiu pressed Mrs. Lu's arm and smiled sweetly, "How can Xianggong say that he is also a hereditary Marquis Yu, how can he not have his own mansion?" What's more, Hou Ye has a lot of things to do, and he knows a lot of people, and it is not good for the deployment and former colleagues to always go to the Chengguo Mansion for outsiders to see. โ€

Lu Tianyang's former colleagues were either Jinyiwei or King Qi's subordinates.

The Lu family, who was already suspicious of Emperor Shenwu, would never let them come and go from time to time.

"But......" Mrs. Lu looked very reluctant. Tianyang has suffered too much, I can't bear him, thinking about him from time to time. โ€

"Master Hou also wants to be filial to you. The left and right are close, you can see Hou Ye by lifting your feet, and Hou Ye will often come to greet you. โ€

"You have to let Tianyang Chang come back, I can't bear him not being around anymore."

"Hmm."

Ah Jiu nodded again and again to assure, his eyes swept over the slightly pale Zhaohua County Lord, and sighed silently, how could he not have imagined that he would be like this with the Zhaohua County Lord.

The banquet was lined up. The man pushed the cup and changed the lamp, Lu Lingfeng took the lead in toasting Lu Tianyang, and then the children of the younger generation of the Lu family rushed up. Trying to get drunk with fine wine.

After getting drunk, you think Lu Tianyang will lose his temper? Or is it out of control?

Ah Jiu looked at the people around Lu Tianyang with pity, a group of stupid hats!

"Ah Jiu."

"Huh?"

Lord Zhaohua put down his wine glass and slowly got up, "I have known your parents for a long time. Before...... Loved you very much. Would you like to go out for a walk with me? By the way, I'll show you the Chengguo Mansion. โ€

"Mother, I'll hold you." The serious daughter-in-law Ying took the initiative to come forward.

"No need, you can stay with Mrs. Tai and them."

"Yes."

Whoever she marries into as a Ying family is treated as an ancestor, but she is the daughter-in-law of the county lord of Zhaohua.

Not to mention that the prince is now quite dependent on Chengguogong, she doesn't dare to play the prestige of the prince's daughter in her in-law's house.

Again, the most majestic person in the royal family, he has been the lord of Zhaohua from beginning to end.

Do you want to be majestic? When the crown prince ascends the throne, he will be crowned as the eldest princess.

Ah Jiu thought about it for a while, and instructed the maid beside him, "Look at the Hou Ye, he always likes to sweat after drinking too much." โ€

"Yes. Madam. The maid hurriedly responded.

Ah Jiu calmly helped the county lord of Zhaohua out of the living room full of banquets.

Lu Tianyang clenched his wine glass, his face was slightly ugly. The hand hanging under the table gestured, and the entourage behind him looked for an opportunity to withdraw, and arranged nearby to protect the young master's treasure who would rather be humiliated than spoiled.

This group of attendants has been following Lu Tian for many years, and sometimes they can guess the young master's thoughts.

It is humiliating for the young master to kneel and bow to Lu Jiang and the others, but the young lady is the person that the young master pampers in his heart, how can the young master let the young lady also be humiliated?

******

"You've been here."

"Hmm."

Ah Jiu and Lord Zhaohua walked side by side on the gravel road, "I remember the last time I came to the Chengguo Mansion, this was the Plum Garden. โ€

The plum forest of the Guogong Mansion is extremely famous, symbolizing Lu Jiang's deep love for the lord of Zhaohua.

"If you remember Merlin, you should remember that I said that my favorite flower is not plum blossoms."

"So Cheng Guogong understands your intention to pull out Merlin?"

Ah Jiu's face showed a little pity, the magic of plum blossoms blooming all year round is just afraid that it will never be seen again, I don't know how Lu Jiang did it.

"Your husband's birth mother loves Merlin." A hint of complexity flashed in the eyes of the county lord of Zhaohua, "But now he has plucked the plum tree for me with his own hands." โ€

"You've surprised me."

"What?"

"You want me to say that you've finally defeated a deceased man? Let me congratulate you on completely occupying the whole heart of Cheng Guogong? "As if I'm afraid that the county lord of Zhaohua is not enough to be congested," the county lord of Zhaohua, who was once on horseback and saved me, is a proud and confident person. โ€

The implication is that how can you be happy because Lu Jiang pulls out plum trees?

She was still angry, angry that Lu Tianyang knelt in front of the county lord of Zhaohua...... Until this time, Ah Jiu still remembered the taste of sรจse.

If you are not happy yourself, how can you make others happy.

Lord Zhaohua?

It's just someone who is closer than a stranger.

If Lu Tianyang is calculated again, Ah Jiu doesn't mind fighting with her.

The county lord of Zhaohua was really depressed enough, "You took revenge on me for him?" Don't forget, I'm your ......."

"Who am I?" Ah Jiu immediately pushed back, "You are embarrassed and resentful of being my husband, not facing him, should I be facing you?" โ€

The disappointment spread little by little, and the county lord of Zhaohua said, "It seems that I shouldn't talk to you today. โ€

Ah Jiu pursed his lips and was silent for a while, "You shouldn't have looked for me in the first place." โ€

Lord Zhaohua's body shook suddenly, Ah Jiu subconsciously supported her, seeing the layers of cold sweat on her forehead, her face was as white as paper, and she looked like her heart was not very good, "I'll call someone." โ€

"No, you don't."

"I'll help you to sit on the stone bench."

The county lord of Zhaohua did not object, and leaned on Ah Jiu.

Arranged her on the stone bench, Ah Jiu squatted down, and slowly smoothed the clenched fists of the county lord of Zhaohua, his fingertips seemed to be a little sticky, and when he looked down, the palms of the county lord of Zhaohua were oozing blood, all of which were scars cut out by his fingernails.

"You ......" Ah Jiu raised his head, and the county lord of Zhaohua leaned against the trunk of the tree, his face was a little better than before, "Why bother to eat hard?" In fact, Hou Ye and I have nothing to do with the Lu family. โ€

Looking at the wound on her hand, it was obvious that she had been masochistic since Lu Tianyang entered the door.

"Ah Jiu, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Lord Zhaohua smiled bitterly: "When you have your own piano sound, bones and blood, you will understand." โ€

"When I have a son, I won't understand you."

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"I have advised you before, whether your son is competitive or not does not depend on whether his brother is excellent, but on himself, you are earning him a mountain of gold, knowing that all the opponents you can see, what you can't stand, he still can't stand it, and you can still watch him for a few years?"

Ah Jiu gently wiped the wound on the palm of the lord of Zhaohua County with a handkerchief, "I'll call your maid to come over and clean the wound, if you don't use medicine, it will be easy to get infected and inflamed." โ€

The palms of your hands are easy to sweat.

"You're trying to get away from me."

The county lord of Zhaohua said firmly, "Afraid that Lu Tianyang will doubt you?" โ€

"It's so suspicious that I think he's more uneasy." Ah Jiu smiled confidently, "I'm afraid you'll hurt me." โ€

The smile was a little dazzling, the county lord of Zhaohua looked away, the feeling of happiness, being wholeheartedly protected seemed to have never been obtained, even if Lu Jiang was obedient to himself, so tender, and considerate, after the county lord of Zhaohua saw Ah Jiu's smile, he suddenly understood why sometimes there was melancholy in his heart.

"There you go."

The county lord of Zhaohua suddenly lost the mind to talk, looked up at the sky, and slowly closed his eyes.

It is undeniable that the county lord of Zhaohua at this time is pitiful, and the woman who has always been tough is suddenly vulnerable, and ordinary people will stay.

It's a pity that Ah Jiu has never been an ordinary person.

She is destined to be unable to get close to the county lord of Zhaohua, and she feels sorry for her...... Who feels sorry for Lu Tianyang?

The most cruel treatment was always her husband.

Ah Jiu turned to leave, and the county lord of Zhaohua was slightly surprised, but when he thought of Ah Jiu's usual words and deeds, he felt that it was natural.

"County lord, the fourth young grandmother asked the slave maid to come over."

"Hmm."

The county lord of Zhaohua clenched his fists again, and there was a slight pain in the palm of his hand again.

******

The banquet was coming to an end, Lu Tianyang got up slightly drunk, and pulled his mask as if he was hot, obviously acting rudely, he did it very freely.

He is handsome, has an outstanding temperament, and does look good in everything.

When Ah Jiu entered the door, he saw that almost all the ladies of the Lu family were looking at him, and he felt a little more sour in his heart.

Walking over quickly, Ah Jiu grabbed his arm, "Don't drag, be careful about the cold." โ€

"Ah Jiu?"

Lu Tianyang saw the person in front of him clearly, smiled evilly, and there were gasps one after another from the side, his appearance was too foul.

"I'll help you back." Ah Jiu looked away, and he couldn't stand him closely.

"I'm heavy."

Lu Tianyang suddenly bent down and directly hugged Ah Jiu horizontally, drunk and proud, "I'll go back first." (To be continued......)
