Chapter 688: Handle (4K, March Pink 1650, 1700+)
Zhu Susu then stood up, "It's not that serious, is it?" Even if he is on the family tree, at most he has the same status as a concubine, and if he wants to divide the family property, where will it be his turn?! ”
Du Hengshuang looked back at Zhu Susu, unconsciously twisting a handkerchief in his hand, "...... Yes, at most, it's like a concubine. She stopped, not saying any more.
Why did she always feel a little uncertain?
"Why don't you go back and discuss it with Brother Xiao?" Zhu Susu persuaded. Since Xiao Shihe and Du Hengshuang got along, Zhu Susu has called Xiao Shihe "Brother Xiao" again, and he is not so angry.
Du Hengshuang was confused, and hesitated: "He has gone to the military department, I should go to Lu Mansion first to see what is going on." Come back and talk to him. ”
"Go ahead, come back and tell me if there's anyone you need help." Zhu Susu personally sent Du Hengshuang out.
"Go to Lu Mansion." Du Hengshuang got into the car and instructed the coachman.
The coachman drove the cart of the Zhuguo Mansion and soon came to the mansion of the Lu Mansion.
Du Hengshuang ordered someone to knock on the door to deliver the post, and said that she came to see Mrs. Lu.
Of course, the disciples of the Lu family knew that Mrs. Qin Guo was close to his own wife and was an in-law, so he immediately let them in, and sent someone to the inner courtyard to spread the word.
When Du Hengshuang came to the second gate in a sedan chair, Mrs. Lu was already waiting at the second gate with her two daughters-in-law.
"Yo, you can't wait for a day, are you coming to see me if you are embarrassed by your sister-in-law?" Mrs. Lu quipped.
Du Hengshuang smiled and took Xiao Yanran's hand and patted it, "You said yes." We are so well-behaved. You must not be willing to embarrass her. ”
Xiao Yanran blushed, but she was still very happy to see her sister-in-law come to see her, and went to the middle hall with her.
Du Hengshuang said that she was here to see Mrs. Lu, so Xiao Yanran and Mrs. Lu's eldest daughter-in-law just had a cup of tea here and went back.
Du Hengshuang and Mrs. Lu went to the inner room to talk.
"What's wrong? You came here today, could it be that you really came for Yanran? You still don't believe me? Mrs. Lu quipped with a smirk.
Du Hengshuang shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not." As he spoke, he glanced around the room.
Mrs. Lu understood and ordered, "Go down and tell the kitchen." I'm going to leave Mrs. Qin Guo for lunch today. Make a few more Huaiyang side dishes, as well as snacks, and take them back to a few little boys and little ladies to eat. ”
The maid who was waiting in the house bowed down and retreated, leaving only Du Hengshuang and Mrs. Lu.
Du Hengshuang took a sip of tea. He said in a low voice, "Mrs. Lu." I'm still thinking about that Qiu Niang......"
Mrs. Lu wiped her mouth with a handkerchief. "What's wrong? Rest assured, they can't afford to turn over the waves. ”
"But I always felt a little uneasy." Du Hengshuang said in a low voice, "If." If Qiu Niang's child is already on the Lu family tree, Mrs. Lu, what impact will it have on your family? ”
Mrs. Lu's hand paused, thinking slowly, and the expression on her face gradually became serious. She turned a silver spoon in her hand and lowered her eyes, as if pondering the matter.
"Think about it, your patriarch goes in and out with her, can you still help her with this?" Du Hengshuang simply said all his conjectures.
Prepare for the worst to be the most prepared.
The Lu family is good friends with the Xiao family, and Xiao Yanran has just married into the Lu family, so it is reasonable, Du Hengshuang knows that he can't stand by and watch the affairs of the Lu family.
Forget about ordinary trivial things, but looking at the menacing momentum of the Qiu Niang at the faint ceremony, Du Hengshuang felt that they couldn't be too contemptuous and underestimate the strength of their opponents.
"If it's a family tree, it's a bit tricky." Mrs. Lu said slowly, "However, it's not a big deal. At most, it will cost a few taels of silver. She glanced at Du Hengshuang, "Why do you look like this?" ”
Du Hengshuang smiled bitterly, "I don't know." Just looking at the expression of that Qiu Niang, it seems that she has a big handle in her hand, and she is a little worried. Hopefully, I'm worried about it, it's not a big deal. ”
"How so?" Mrs. Lu, "How can I have a handle...... Her voice stopped abruptly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she remembered something troublesome, and as if she remembered something that she had forgotten a long time ago, her face gradually turned pale, if it bloomed to the flowering stage, from the peak to the withering, it was only a moment.
However, her abnormality only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.
Du Hengshuang just lowered his head to drink tea, and didn't notice Mrs. Lu's strange appearance. Besides, she didn't think that Mrs. Lu would fall into the hands of Qiu Niang.
After receiving the assurance from Mrs. Lu, Du Hengshuang was relieved, and after a few gossips, he returned to the Zhuguo Mansion.
Xiao Shihe came back from the military department in the evening, and Du Hengshuang told him about the day.
Xiao Shiji thought for a long time and said, "If the head of the Lu family also supports Qiu Niang, this child will probably have to stay." "On the genealogy of the Lu family, it must be under the name of Lu Zhongwang.
Du Hengshuang was a little dissatisfied, and said, "How can they do this? Can you put a child under someone's name at will without their consent? That's too much, isn't it? ”
Xiao Shiji told her: "This is the power of the patriarch, but generally speaking, the patriarch will not do this. Unless, they have some special reason, or if they are sure, even if they forcibly put that child under Lu Zhongwang's name, Mrs. Lu will not refute it, she will only knock out her teeth and swallow blood. ”
This goes back to the question that Du Hengshuang thought of in Lu Mansion.
That is, the patriarch of the Lu family and Qiu Niang are sure that Mrs. Lu will definitely not disagree with them doing this.
If they can have no fear, they should still take Mrs. Lu's handle......
Could it be that Lu Zhongwang was the cause of death?
Du Hengshuang hesitated, whether to tell Xiao Shi about this matter.
Xiao Shiji glanced at Du Hengshuang, "What's wrong?" If you have something to say, don't babble. ”
Du Hengshuang opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words after the last moment, changed the topic, and said, "I only hope that this matter will not go to Yanran and Lu Erlang." ”
"Probably not. This is the trouble that Lu Zhongwang caused before his death, what happened to Lu Erlang? Xiao Shiji said disapprerovingly. It's night, wash and sleep. ”
The two of them stopped talking.
Two days later, it was the day when Xiao Yanran returned to the door in three dynasties.
Xiao Tai and Long Shuzhi have already arrived.
Du Hengxue and Xu Yanbang also came to the Zhuguo Mansion and waited for Xiao Yanran to come back.
Du Hengshuang looked at Du Hengxue's plump and gorgeous face, and sighed: "Look at your appearance, what did Xu Erlang give you to eat, look at your beautiful ......"
Du Hengxue chuckled: "I cooked for him, why did he give me food?" - Sister, you're putting the cart before the horse, aren't you?! ”
Du Hengshuang reached out and twisted her mouth, "Look at your little mouth." It's getting more and more flamboyant. But smeared with honey? ”
The sisters laughed.
Xu Yanbang stood next to Xiao Shiji and Xiao Taiji, smiling and watching the two sisters frolic. Long Shuzhi was a little absent-minded beside her, pursed her lips disdainfully, and secretly calculated the conditions that Qi Yuexian had prescribed to them. Thinking about convincing Xiao Tai and ......
It's a quiet day. The air is filled with the lively atmosphere of the New Year's Festival.
Xiao Yanran and Lu Erlang arrived soon. Du Hengshuang and Du Hengxue personally went to pick her up from the second gate.
After the two came, they had to go to the courtyard where Long Xiangye lived and kowtow to Long Xiangye.
Xiao Shiji, Du Hengshuang. and Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi all came over to take care of it.
Long Xiangye sat on the top in a newly made mink robe, although his eyes were blank, but he was very quiet, not as crazy as before, beating people and taking off his clothes at every turn......
"Mother, Yanran is married." Xiao Yanran said with tears in her eyes, and Lu Erlang held a cup of tea for Long Xiangye.
Long Xiangye smiled infatually, took the teacup, shook it with his hand, and suddenly splashed it on Lu Erlang's face, and said sharply: "Du Hengshuang's little slut is exactly the same as her slut!" It's all demon tunes, and they're used to hooking up with men! Yanran, you have to learn from them, I'll break your legs! Do you hear me?! ”
Xiao Yanran raised her head suddenly, looked at Long Xiangye in disbelief, and thought that her madness was cured, but Long Xiangye scolded the teacup in front of her, taking the teacup as "Xiao Yanran......
Lu Erlang wiped his face, protected Xiao Yanran behind him, and said softly: "...... Be careful, mother-in-law is delirious, don't hurt you. ”
Xiao Shiji glanced at Du Hengshuang with some anxiety, and saw that her face was as usual, thinking that she had long been used to Long Xiangye scolding her like this.
"Okay, go kowtow to Mrs. Zeng." Xiao Shiji shook his head, and asked Lu Erlang again, "Do you want to change your clothes?" ”
Lu Erlang's body was splashed with a cup of tea from Long Xiangye, and his front placket was wet.
"I'm tired of my uncle." Lu Erlang smiled and followed the little maid to change clothes.
Xiao Taiji bowed his hand to Du Hengshuang and said politely: "Sister-in-law, my mother is crazy, don't be angry with her, she didn't mean to." ”
Du Hengshuang had long stopped taking Long Xiangye's words seriously, waved his hand nonchalantly, and said, "I know." If I want to talk to a patient, how small should my heart be in the eye? Saying this, he looked at Xiao Taiji with a smile, "Second brother, in your heart, am I such a narrow-minded person who will repay me?" ”
Xiao Taiji was choked and said with a smile: "Of course not." The sister-in-law is broad-minded and sincere, we know everything. ”
"Do you still ask? I know better than you what kind of person your sister-in-law is. In the future, don't say that again. My mother is sick, and what she says doesn't count. Xiao Shiji said stubbornly. In fact, after so long, he also saw that even if Long Xiangye was not crazy, she could say these words......
Thinking about it like this, Xiao Shiji felt a little more guilty about Du Hengshuang.
He sighed, looked back at Long Xiangye's courtyard, and said slowly: "Until my mother recovers, don't see outsiders again." ”
Lu Erlang saw Xiao Yanran's stunned face, and leaned over to hold her hand.
Xiao Yanran was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "You have nothing to do, right?" My mother ......."
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lu Erlang smiled honestly, "It's just that he splashed me with a cup of tea." Your sister-in-law's mother was scolded by your mother, she doesn't care, am I not as open-minded as a woman? - You're underestimating me, too. ”
Xiao Yanran sighed deeply. Du Hengshuang treats her better than her mother treats her, but Long Xiangye is her mother, and she can't say that her mother is not.
"Erlang, in the future, we will be better to our sister-in-law." Xiao Yanran said with a straight face, her voice was not high, only Lu Erlang could hear it.
Lu Erlang nodded, "That's nature." Your sister-in-law treats you, even if it's your own mother. ”
Lu Erlang has seen that some families prefer sons over daughters, and their daughters are sold just to find benefits for their sons. A sister-in-law like Du Hengshuang, who thinks about her sister-in-law wholeheartedly, is really rare.
Xiao Yanran smiled on her face, nodded vigorously, and said, "So, I have a good sister-in-law, who is already luckier than many people." She was not a person who liked to drill the horns of the bull, so she quickly came out of her low mood and happily followed her to Mrs. Yang Zengtai's yard to kowtow to tea.
Mrs. Yang Zengtai was a kind person, and asked Lu Erlang a few words with a smile, asking him to be more sympathetic to Xiao Yanran, and then gave him some meeting gifts, and then went to the middle hall with them for lunch.
When Lu Erlang and Xiao Yanran returned to the door in the third dynasty, guests also came to the Lu Mansion, who were the Lu family patriarch and Qiu Niang who tried to make a big fuss three days ago, but were forcibly stopped by Xiao Shi and his party.
Mrs. Lu has been a little uneasy since Du Hengshuang left that day, but she did not act rashly. She wanted to see what was in the other person's hand......
"Patriarch, may I ask what you are doing?" After Mrs. Lu waited for them to sit down, she asked deliberately.
The patriarch of the Lu family coughed and said to Qiu Niang, who was sitting next to him, "Qiu Niang, you still don't kowtow to your sister?" - After toasting tea, it is a family. ”
Mrs. Lu laughed dryly twice and said, "Where do you start with this?" I have neither brothers nor sisters, and the patriarch should not send me any relatives. ”
The patriarch of the Lu family also laughed and said, "Zhongwang daughter-in-law, you can't say that. I know that you are not a jealous person, this Qiu Niang is indeed a person from Zhongwang, her son, and the widow of Zhongwang. You are the daughter-in-law of Zhongwang, how can you be so ruthless and turn away their mother and son? In the past two years, their mother and son have not had an easy time, for the sake of Zhongwang, let them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors and return to the Lu family. ”
Mrs. Lu's heart moved, and she secretly wondered if she hadn't gone to the family tree yet? He asked tentatively: "Our master has been dead for two years, even if I don't care, but the master is not alive, how can I let them recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors?" ”
The patriarch of the Lu family really said nonchalantly: "Oh, you don't have to worry about this, I have already put the child's name on the family tree and recorded it in your name......"
"What?!" Mrs. Lu stood up with a bang, her whole body trembling, "Patriarch, did I hear it wrong?" You put an outer room in my name?! ”
The patriarch of the Lu family smiled, looked up at Mrs. Lu, and said slowly: "So, do you admit that he is the widow of Zhongwang?" - It's okay this way, you don't have to dig up the coffin and drip blood to recognize your relatives. Mrs. Lu's words just now admitted that the child was Lu Zhongwang's outer room, and accepted and recognized this blood relationship that day.
Mrs. Lu narrowed her eyes and had to be cautious. She knew that she had fallen into the first pit dug by the other party.
