When Lu heard his nephew and niece say this, a big stone in his heart was put down, and he felt more and more aggrieved, looking at Mrs. Lu, he smacked and said, "I don't dare to think about anything now, mother, I beg you to come forward to put pressure on the old lady, and release Yue'er from the ancestral temple first, I am really worried that if it continues like this, she will be ruined." ”

Old Madam Lu pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

Lu Rong couldn't bear it anymore, stood up and said, "Grandmother, let's go to the Gu family with my aunt immediately, and let the old lady release my cousin from the ancestral temple!" I don't believe it, how capable is that Gu Qingwan, and dare not give us the face of the Lu family? When I go, I must peel her two layers of skin and ask her to see how powerful our Lu family is. ”

"Sister, you don't have to do anything to teach Gu Qingwan a lesson." Lu Yuan's eyes overflowed with a hint of coldness, and said, "As the eldest son in the family, I have the obligation to stand up for the Lu family, and my aunt doesn't have to worry." ”

Lu Shi cried with joy and said, "Yue'er is saved now." ”

"Don't worry." At this time, Mrs. Lu finally spoke, and said, "This matter, let's talk about it, now the Gu family has not driven Yue'er out, Yue'er made a mistake, and Mrs. Gu used family law to deal with it, which is reasonable in the past, if the Lu family comes forward so rashly, it is unreasonable to say, and if it is spread, others are afraid that they will gossip about your father and your brother." Besides......"

Old Madam Lu raised her eyes and looked at Lu's makeup, which was not as delicate and gorgeous as in the past, exuding an aura of falling out of favor, and she said, "You ran out secretly." ”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he bowed his head and said, "I can't hide anything from my mother." ”

"You secretly ran out to move the rescue soldiers like this, if I really go to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion with you to put pressure on the Gu family, then what should the Gu family think of you, even if you are forced to release Yue'er like this, how will you gain a foothold in front of Old Madam Gu and the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the future?"

"This ......" Lu Shi was dumbfounded, what Mrs. Lu said was actually right, the evidence of Yue'er's mistake was conclusive, and the punishment was justified, she ignored the old lady's wishes to go home to move the rescuers, she was slapping her in the face and not taking her in her eyes......

"What then? Do you just watch your cousin suffer in that hellish place? I heard from my aunt that my cousin's injuries have not healed, so what if this goes on for a long time, what will happen if she dies? Although Lu Yuan felt that what his mother said was reasonable, he couldn't swallow this breath!

"Yes, does it just look at Gu Qingwan's pride? Grandmother, no matter what, let's teach her a lesson! Lu Rong took Lu's hand and said, "Auntie, it's inconvenient for grandmother to come forward, I'll go with you, I must rescue my cousin!" ”

"Smack!" Suddenly, Mrs. Lu slammed an empty teacup on the ground and scolded, "Bold! Who is in charge of this Lu family now? I dare to take my words as wind in my ears! ”

When the two siblings saw their grandmother's sudden anger, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

Old Madam Lu stared sternly at the two brothers and sisters in front of her, and said, "Lu Yuan, you are a man, you are aiming at the imperial court, what are you blindly involved in the struggle between the women of the back house?" Lu Rong, what are you? That old lady Gu is the lady of the imperial court, Gu Qingwan is the lord of Zhaoyang County, you are a stinky girl with no grade, why are you talking in front of them! ”

Lu Shi listened to Mrs. Lu's words, and was shocked, every word her mother said was very reasonable, but this attitude, how did she feel that her mother was saying that she and Yue'er deserved it, and she did it herself?

Mother, what the hell are you thinking?

Seeing that the two brothers and sisters were silent, Mrs. Lu was relieved, and said, "Your second brother made a special trip a few days ago to bring back a very rare night pearl from the border gate, I heard that Mrs. Gu doesn't like gold and prefers pearls, you take this night pearl back, in the name of the Lu Mansion, how can Mrs. Gu look at the face of the Lu family, and will not let Yue'er die." ”

"Yes, thank you, thank you, Mother."

In the end, the Lu family returned to the Yuanhou Mansion with a priceless night pearl.

"Brother, is that really it?" At the gate of the Lu Mansion, looking at the carriage of the Lu family, Lu Rong said unwillingly.

Gu Qingwan killed her Zheng Lang, and treated her aunt and cousin like this, she and Gu Qingwan are incompatible, one day, she will make Gu Qingwan pay the price and avenge her Zheng Lang!

"Sister, what my grandmother said is very reasonable. However, ......" A touch of coldness flashed between Lu Yuan's eyes, and he said, "It's not good for us to come forward on the surface, and it's always okay to teach Gu Qingwan a lesson secretly." ”

Lu Rong's eyes lit up, and she coquettishly held her brother's hand and said, "Brother has any good way, don't leave me alone, I want to participate together, and teach Gu Qingwan a lesson with my own hands." ”

Lu Yuan smiled, "Don't worry, sister, there will be your share when the time comes." ”

＊

The Lu family went back to Lu's house, and rushed back for several days, and stayed in the middle for about three hours.

When I returned to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, I couldn't wait to come to Haitang Garden.

When she arrived at the Begonia Garden, before she got closer, she faintly heard bursts of laughter and laughter from inside, thinking that her daughter was still suffering in the ancestral temple, her eyes couldn't help but feel hot, and her hand tightly pinched the handkerchief.

Raising his feet and stepping through a circular wall, Lu saw Mama Zhou, Mama Sun, Zilan, Ziyu and others standing under the eaves coaxing the noble white fox.

As soon as they saw her, everyone was stunned for a moment.

She glanced at everyone coldly, her waist straighter than before, and said, "I want to see the old lady." ”

"Yes, the slave will report it." The maid guarding the door opened the curtain and walked in, and after a while, she came out and said:

"The old lady said that she was playing with the county lord, please wait here for a while."

actually let her eat a closed door, and the Lu family suddenly felt ashamed! But there is no way, if she wants to save Gu Qingyue from coming out, she must wait here.

She stood in the doorway, and there was no servant to bring a chair to sit for her, and at this moment, it was the hottest time of the day, and she stood there alone and waited, and sweat began to break down on her forehead.

And the laughter of Old Madam Gu and Gu Qingwan was still heard from time to time inside, and I vaguely heard Old Madam Gu say, "Wan'er, you ghost girl, you will pit me......"

When did this old lady become so intimate with Gu Qingwan? In the past, when her moon was the most favored, there was no such treatment.

The more Lu thought about it, the more unwilling she became, she felt that her head was a little dizzy, she had been standing at the door for an hour, the skirt on her body was soaked, and the makeup on her face was soaked with sweat.

When the sun was about to set in the west, the door of the closed room finally creaked open, and the voice of Old Madam Gu came from inside-

"Outside, come in."

Lu closed her eyes, calmed down, wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief, showed a flattering and flattering smile on her face, lowered her head and walked in around the curtain, she saw at a glance that Gu Qingwan was also there, and everyone's face was a little red when they smiled.

The expression on Lu's face froze for a moment before he called out in a clear voice:

"Old lady......"

Old Madam Gu sat on the red sandalwood chair carved by the Qingluan Peony Group, holding a bowl of pear soup in her hand, without even raising her eyelids, and said coldly, "It's coming, it's coming, it's so noisy that it hurts my brain." ”

"......" The expression on Lu's face suddenly froze, being watched by so many people, he couldn't laugh, he didn't laugh, he couldn't laugh, he could only stand there in disdain, unable to say a word.

"You're not in your yard, what are you doing here?" After Gu Qingwan finished drinking most of the bowl of pear soup, Old Lady Gu finally raised her head and asked lightly.

Lu Shi looked at the people present, and there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

Gu Qingwan put the bowl back in the tray, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, got up and said, "Grandmother, it's not too early, I should leave too, you can rest for a while." ”

Old Madam Gu showed a loving smile on her face and said, "Today's flower lottery is really fun, call your mother another day to play together." ”

"Yes, Mother must be very happy." Gu Qingwan also smiled, and then left, when passing by Lu's side, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and a smile swept by, Lu only felt that her body was split in half by the cold blade, and she shivered all over, and her heart was cold.

After everyone left, Old Madam Gu finally looked at the Lu family and said, "I heard that you have returned to the Lu family?" ”

Lu Shi hurriedly opened the delicate and luxurious wooden box in his hand, only to see that there was a huge and bright night pearl inside, full of color and luster, bright as that, at first glance, it was a priceless thing.

Old Madam Gu pursed her lips and did not speak, her face expressionless.

"Old lady, this is what my mother at home entrusted me to bring back. Said that my brother spent a few days ago at the border to get such a rare 'water drop', the first time I wanted to dedicate it to you, my brother said that such a rare thing only you have a blessing to deserve, so he sent someone all the way back, and now while I went back to my mother's house, I let me bring it back and give it to the old lady. Lu said, respectfully holding the pearl and placing it on the desk.

"Nothing to do, are you going to exchange this bead for a second girl?" Unexpectedly, Old Madam Gu didn't even look at the "water droplet", and asked indifferently and directly.

“…… This ......" Lu was stunned, he didn't expect Old Madam Gu to be so straightforward, and he didn't even give her patience to deal with her.

"I'm tired, I don't want to be false with you anymore, just say it if you have something to say. When you go back to Lu's house and use such a bead to press me, isn't it just to force me to release the second girl?

Lu bent his knees, knelt on the ground, and pleaded, "Old lady, there are thousands of mistakes, all of them are the fault of the concubine, the concubine begs you to be merciful and forgive Yue'er this time."

It's not a secret, today the concubine is really relieved, so she secretly went to the ancestral temple to take a look, Yue'er she ...... She doesn't look like a complete person now, there is no one around to take care of her, the wounds on her body have not healed well, the scars on her face have not completely disappeared, she can't eat and sleep well every day, I am worried...... I'm really worried that she will be the same as Yan'er back then. ”

Lu said, secretly raising his eyes and glancing at Old Madam Gu.
