Chapter 254: Unmarried and Pregnant
Lu Bingyan, who had been busy for a while, had just returned home, but he saw several women passing by the door pointing and not knowing what they were muttering.
Steward Zhao came out of the door to greet him at this time, and when he saw this, he hurriedly greeted him twice, and asked the servants at the door of the mansion to drive the people outside.
Lu Bingyan was a little strange, and asked Steward Zhao while taking off his official hat and walking to the study: "What happened to those ignorant women?" I'm not here today, what's going on at home? ”
During this time, Lu Bingyan was busy in the dark, all for the preparation of the royal ceremony.
A few days ago, Lu Guanlan gave him the marriage he earned, and he didn't have time to take care of it.
After all, compared to his own marriage, the title given by His Majesty to these sons is the most important, which is related to who the future prince is.
Speaking of which, he, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who presided over the ceremony, is nothing, and the most headache should be their majesty.
Originally, he thought that His Royal Highness Chengmo was the most likely to become the prince, but what he saw in front of the emperor recently, the emperor's meaning seemed to have changed slightly.
In the past, he always mentioned in front of him that he wanted to help His Royal Highness more in the future, but now he didn't mention a word.
His Majesty's attitude is playful, and he, as a courtier, does not dare to say more.
Steward Zhao saw Lu Bingyan asking, coughed lightly, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that a doctor came last night and stayed in the house all night before leaving, presumably these women thought that someone in our family was sick." ”
Lu Bingyan came back to his senses when he heard this, frowned and said, "Doctor? ”
Steward Zhao nodded, "The night before, the eldest lady was infected with a cold and fell unconscious, and the girl in the yard invited the doctor to come, but somehow, I heard that the second lady also invited the doctor to see the doctor in the second half of the night." ”
As soon as Lu Bingyan heard that Lu Jingzhu was sick, he asked, "Why is the second miss sick again?" ”
Steward Zhao said: "I don't know this, after the doctor came out of the second lady's courtyard, he was sent home, and I don't know what kind of illness the second lady had, the doctor is gone, and the little one is not good to go out to ask." ”
Lu Bingyan didn't seem to hear that Lu Guanlan was in a coma due to the wind cold, and only thought about whether to go and see Lu Jingzhu.
At this time, I suddenly heard a report from the servant outside, saying that the eldest lady of the Chen family asked to see the eldest lady.
Lu Bingyan frowned again when he heard this.
What time has it been, and you are still bothering you?
Although he thought so in his heart, he thought of the face of Mrs. Chen and General Chen, so he naturally would not pull down his face, so he immediately ordered Steward Zhao to take Miss Chen to Taoyuan, and he would go back to the study first, and then go to see the second miss after dinner.
Steward Zhao turned his head in response.
When Lu Guanlan saw Chen Ruoxuan coming in a hurry, he was still a little surprised.
Seeing that her young lady's close friend was coming, Ah Li immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Miss Chen can have dinner?" The slave maid will add you a pair of dishes and chopsticks. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to fetch the dishes.
Chen Ruoxuan waved her hand, took off the fox cloud, and sat down directly beside Lu Guanlan.
"Sister Lu, you are the most well-informed on weekdays, but now you don't know it, do you know that something has happened to your family," Chen Ruoxuan frowned, looking anxious and worried.
When I heard the news in the house, I rushed here before I had time for dinner, and I couldn't help but be even more anxious when I saw that my sister Lu was still casually using dinner.
Seeing this, Lu Guanlan smiled slightly, "Is dinner available?" Eat some more. ”
As he spoke, he sandwiched a piece of crispy meat and was about to feed it to Chen Ruoxuan.
Chen Ruoxuan coughed lightly, turned her head sideways to avoid the chopsticks sent by Lu Guanlan, and then said, "Oops! You can't just be careful, it's about your reputation, after all. ”
Lu Guanlan put the piece of puff pastry meat that Chen Ruoxuan rejected in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and smiled with satisfaction, then put down his chopsticks and said, "Then tell me, what happened in my family?" ”
Chen Ruoxuan glared at Lu Guanlan angrily and said, "You still ask me?" Your good second sister is about to become known to everyone. ”
Lu Guanlan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me." ”
Chen Ruoxuan snorted lightly and told everything she knew.
It turned out that Chen Ruoxuan accompanied the eldest lady to the temple to offer incense today, and when she came out of the temple, she heard the two ladies walking in front chatting about something.
originally thought it was just gossip between the ladies, but Chen Ruoxuan, who knew that her ears were smart, heard the words "Lu Jingzhu".
Then, she asked the eldest lady to go back to the carriage first, and under the pretext that she wanted to go back to Xu Duan'er's marriage, she waited for the eldest lady to go back and catch up and ask the two ladies what they said.
These two ladies are both wives outside the Beijing Central Committee, and when they heard that Chen Ruoxuan was the daughter of General Chen, they naturally treated each other with good words.
told Chen Ruoxuan about the matter.
It is said that Dr. Tian, a famous doctor in Beijing, went to the Lu family the night before, and returned to his home the next day, and when the maid of the Lu family sent Dr. Tian to the door of the house, she also told Dr. Tian not to tell the second miss of the Lu family about the consultation, and then left.
If you have a good ear to listen to such a mouth, it's nothing.
Who knows, Dr. Natian is a drinker, and he went to the wine shop later, and as soon as he drank high, he shook off the matter with his drinking friends.
There are already a lot of people in this wine shop, and Dr. Tian is in the hall again.
Speaking of seeing an official lady, but seeing the happy pulse, you know, this official girl is not married, I didn't scare myself to death at the time, and I thought I couldn't live in someone's mansion, and now I can live like this, it's really good luck.
As soon as these words came out, some people remembered what the Lu family's maid said when they sent Dr. Tian back earlier, and immediately understood that the official lady that Dr. Tian said must be the second lady of the Lu family.
No, there is such an ugly thing in the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, where can it not be said.
Chen Ruoxuan was stunned after hearing these words.
didn't have time to think about it, so he turned his head and sent the eldest lady back to the general's mansion, and he didn't have time to pay a tribute to the Lu family, so he rushed over.
"I know I came in a hurry, because I was a little rude, and maybe annoyed your father, but this is ······ after all." Chen Ruoxuan looked at Lu Guanlan, and the worry on her face was revealed.
Lu Guanlan still looked unfazed, but said: "She Lu Jingzhu has an accident, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Chen Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's what I said, but after all, she is the daughter of the Lu family, and this matter is known to everyone, and there are really rumors outside, and it will definitely affect the rest of your Lu family's daughters, whether Lu Jingzhu is dead or alive, good or bad, what does it matter to me, I am just worried about affecting you······"
Lu Guanlan's heart warmed, and he raised his hand and handed Chen Ruoxuan a cup of tea, "I must have been thirsty after talking for a long time, the water that I just boiled is too hot, and I guess it's just right to drink it at this time." ”
Chen Ruoxuan paused, shook her head with a chuckle and took it.
I heard Lu Guanlan continue: "What's going on outside?" ”
Chen Ruoxuan just swallowed a few sips of tea, and when she heard Lu Guanlan ask like this, she snorted coldly angrily, and said, "What do you say, the child in Lu Jingzhu's belly is the Third Highness." I'm surprised, how could Lu Jingzhu climb the Third Highness, and I don't know how the group of people outside spread it. ”
Lu Guanlan turned his head, looked at Ah Li and smiled, and then turned around and said: "If you really want to talk about it, when I saw it in the bamboo forest last time, I looked at the Third Highness as if I really had an interest in my second sister." ”
Chen Ruoxuan was stunned when she heard this, and she also recalled that day.
She was not very polite to Lu Jingzhu that day, but when the Third Highness came, she relieved Lu Jingzhu of the siege, and maintained Lu Jingzhu everywhere, and even scolded her openly and secretly.
Now that I think about it, it's really a bit unusual.
Lu Guanlan watched the change in Chen Ruoxuan's expression from the side, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.
To say that she really didn't want Chen Ruoxuan to get involved in this matter.
Yesterday, Ah Li sent Dr. Tian back, and Dr. Tian's habit of drinking on weekdays, became the best introduction.
Doctor Tian's drunken act of spitting out the truth is naturally pretending, and spreading rumors can be done by Chu Yu alone.
So, this is just overnight, and the rumors that Lu Jingzhu is the same as Chengye have spread much more widely than the original Lu Lianqing lost her virginity.
After all, Lu Lianqing's matter is the Lu family's own business, as long as the time passes a little, it can be calm, at most it can be regarded as a secret of the Lu family's mansion.
But Lu Jingzhu's matter is not only about the heavenly family, but also about "human evidence" like Dr. Tian.
Even if someone wants to press it behind it, they can't press it down.
Besides, a "human witness" like Dr. Tian was not disposed of at the beginning, and it was too late to do it at this time.
In such a well-known situation, no matter which party makes the move, it is undoubtedly the matter of Lu Jingzhu and Chengye.
When she thought of the autumn hunt, she also helped Lu Jingzhu, so that Lu Jingzhu and Chengye could 'have lovers and eventually become married'.
Who knew that this Lu Jingzhu was really not angry, but it was in vain for her "good intentions".
Now it's okay, I'm afraid even Yun Concubine can't stop this.
Thinking of Lu Bingyan's reaction after learning about this, she felt funny.
But for some reason, Rao is this matter was done so smoothly, and seeing that her purpose was close at hand, she still couldn't be happy.
Chen Ruoxuan saw a trace of loneliness in Lu Guanlan's eyes at this time, so she asked, "Sister Lu, what are you ······ What's wrong? ”
Lu Guanlan raised his eyes and smiled, as if the haze had never existed.
"Then you're here to tell me the news?" Lu Guanlan asked.
Chen Ruoxuan nodded, and shook her head again, "I just want to come and see you, after all, this matter is a big deal in any family, and now that your family is on the top of the Third Highness, I don't know what happened to the one in the palace." ”
Chen Ruoxuan said that it was naturally Chengye's mother Concubine Yun, in Chen Ruoxuan's opinion, after the last palace banquet, she was 10,000 careful with that Concubine Yun.
Now Lu Jingzhu is provoked, but the master's own son doesn't know what will happen next.
Thinking about it, Chen Ruoxuan shook her head, but suddenly remembered something, and said to Lu Guanlan: "I don't know if these three highnesses recognize this child in Lu Jingzhu's belly." ”
