Back at the Autumn Water Pavilion, Xianghe was pacing back and forth under the loquat tree.

Seeing Bai Zisu, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Lady, you are back, you are really in a hurry." ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Zisu patted the dust on the hem of his clothes, looked up and asked, "Could it be that someone has come to our yard?"

"Isn't it! Early this morning, the old lady came over with a lot of tonics, saying that she wanted to see the lady. I couldn't stop it, and I almost didn't scare the soul of the servant. Xianghe said as he clutched his chest with palpitations.

"Did she notice I wasn't there?" Bai Zisu hurriedly asked.

"Nope. The old lady came into the courtyard, and the maidservant told her that you were sick, but she would not listen. In the end, Mei Niang was in a hurry, and she kept coughing, so she didn't enter the house. You don't know, it's just a little bit, it's scary. ”

The old lady Xue is Lu Wenhao's mother.

The Xue family has a huge influence in the capital and is very prominent. Xue's father, that is, Lu Wenhao's maternal grandfather, was a brilliant general of Zuo Xiaowei, who fought with the first emperor and pacified Goguryeo, Eastern Turks and other places. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he rewarded the Xue family even more, and even named Xue Lao as the Duke of Dingguo, which can be described as a great grace.

After Xue Lao passed away, the title was inherited by Xue's eldest brother Xue Zhiyuan.

Xue Zhiyuan is brave and good at fighting, and his exploits are not under Xue Lao. Two years ago, after being made a hussar general, he took up the post of commander of the forbidden army. It is said that if you only talk about military exploits and real power, today's military department is not as good as Xue Zhiyuan.

With such a family background and such a father and brother, there is no need to ask about Xue's temper, which has always been arrogant and domineering. Anyway, the Xue family is prosperous, and there are not many people in this world who can help her.

In addition, the Lu family was originally a civil official, and it was not until Lu Wenhao's father's generation began to establish meritorious service, although the family was high, it was not as good as the Xue family. Therefore, the Xue family is in the Lu family, which is the existence of one and the same. After Lu Wenhao lost his father as a young man, the Xue family took over the power and took care of the inside and outside of the Lu Mansion alone.

Five years ago, when Bai Zisu first entered the Lu Mansion, he had met the Xue family.

At that time, she was taken away, knelt under the hall, and only raised her eyes to look at Xue, and was slapped by the maidservant beside Xue.

After the slap was extremely hard and the violent buzzing sound, her left ear was forever silent.

Xue looked at her condescendingly and asked her about her origin. After learning that she was a woman from Hualou, she immediately asked the house slave to tie her up and prepare to throw her into the wilderness.

Later, it was Lu Wenmiao who returned home in time to protect her.

At that time, Lu Wenmiao untied the rope for her and protected her in his arms. She smelled the scent of agarwood on him, and the smell made her drowsy.

She knew she was safe.

Is that...... Than the moment he stretched out his hand to block the whip, he felt more deeply the taste of peace of mind.

She still remembered that Lu Wenmiao took her hand and sent her back to Qiushui Pavilion. His palms were warm, and she didn't dare to look at him, but she just walked very slowly on purpose.

From the antechamber to the backyard, it was the longest and shortest road she remembered.

After that day, Xue never came to trouble her again. was busy with Zhang Luo's marriage and wanted to marry his brother Xue Zhiyuan's daughter to Lu Wenhao.

Later, Xue Ruolan entered the door, as Xue wished. The Xue family didn't have the time to take care of Bai Zisu, so they only concentrated on serving Xue Ruolan, looking forward to it, and wanted Xue Ruolan to give birth to a big fat grandson for her.

However, I don't know if there is something wrong with Xue Ruolan or Lu Wenmiao, two years have passed, and in short, an egg has not been laid.

This made the Xue family anxious, staring at Xue Ruolan's stomach all day long. I asked God to ask the Buddha again, and I asked the doctor to prescribe all kinds of decoctions, but I was about to become a demon, and I still couldn't see any shadow.

Now that he learned about Bai Zisu's, the Xue family was afraid that he finally remembered that there was a concubine in the backyard, and he ran over in a hurry, which seemed to be reasonable.

I just don't know what she's thinking.

"Did the old lady say anything?" Bai Zisu walked into the house, put the pipa on the table, and asked, "Just to see me?" ”

"Forehead......" Xianghe hesitated for a while, his face was red, and he couldn't speak for a long time, so he had to look at Mei Niang next to him.

Mei Niang sighed, took Bai Zisu's hand, and whispered, "The old lady came here today and asked us to come with Bai Aya." ”

"What white aya?" Bai Zisu followed Mei Niang and sat down at the table blankly.

"It's the white silk spread on the couch." Mei Niang frowned and looked at her: "The old lady said that this is the rule of the Lu family, even if the lady enters the mansion, she will also test the white silk." If there is no Bai Aya, even if the lady has a body in the future, the Lu family will not recognize it. ”

Spread on the couch? Bai Zisu finally understood the usefulness of that thing. I'm afraid that the old lady is still worried about her birth in Hualou, and she can't believe her from the beginning.

"Why didn't she ask her son?" Bai Zisu said indifferently: "I don't know this rule, it's her son who didn't shop this thing, what does it have to do with me." ”

"But the old lady said that she would come again to collect the white silk."

"Then just tell her no." Bai Zisu picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "Whatever she wants, I don't plan to give birth to Lu Wenmiao, I don't care if she recognizes it or not." ”

"Lady, don't say that."

Mei Niang looked at her worriedly, and was about to say something more, when Xianghe, who was standing by the door, suddenly exclaimed: "Childe! ”

"Poof-" Bai Zisu was so shocked that the tea in his mouth squirted out.

What did he come to do?

Didn't you just see it the day before yesterday, and the frequency of this is too abnormal. In the past, it would take a year and a half to see each other, and she was ready not to see him for a year. This came suddenly, and it was definitely not good!

Jumping up on the ground, Bai Zisu seemed to have been struck by lightning, his eyes were quick, he splashed the unfinished tea in his hand on his face, and used both hands to rub his hair into a mess. Finally, he picked up the lute and got into the bed.

The lute was brought in from outside the house, and he must not be allowed to see it!

As soon as the quilt was pulled, she rolled her eyes, and instantly looked miserable as if she was going to die.

At the same time, the four-seam moccasin boots just entered the door.

"I heard you have a cold." A cold voice sounded overhead.

Bai Zisu couldn't hold back and shuddered.

Struggling to suppress the tension in her heart, she opened a slit slightly, looked at the person in front of her, and then stretched out a small hand from the quilt, trembling and trembling for a long time, and finally as if she had exhausted her strength, she fell down violently, and the situation was similar to that of a dying person.

This posture, Xianghe stared wide in the back. Why didn't she know that in just a moment, her own lady was sick like this?

"Husband......" His lips trembled, and Bai Zisu squeezed out a sentence for a while: "The concubine is missing...... Ahem...... Far...... Greet. ”

She coughed violently, and it was as hard as she could feed, aiming it at his face and spitting hard.

She didn't believe it, this person who was so clean that he exploded, could he endure this?

Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was completely indifferent, just took half a step back, but had no intention of leaving.
