Chapter 569, Reparation

After the winter solstice, the weather suddenly turned cold, and it snowed heavily for two days in a row.

Because Yan Yu was still in confinement, and the Zhu family was grounded again, the Lu family's soup kitchen activity was presided over by Zhou Wan.

During the soup kitchen, Zhou Wan took a few housekeepers with a big belly into the two health halls in the city, and donated some money, grain and cloth and cotton in the name of the Lu Mansion, saying that it was to pray for Lu Duan and the Lu family.

The news reached the palace, and when he learned that the Lu family had sent a noble concubine with a big belly to give porridge in the street and visit the abandoned baby in the health hall, Li Cong also guessed the Zhu family's intentions, but he didn't say anything.

Towards the end of the year, Li Cong has a lot of things, in addition to paying attention to whether Lu Duan can come back, he is also worried about whether those cities can be recovered, thinking about the annual scenery and harvests in various places this year, as well as various natural and man-made disasters or something, so this little thing of the Lu family did not even splash in his heart.

However, the Lu family's porridge was not in vain, because after the Lu family, the Ma family quickly picked it up, and she also personally took a few housekeepers to give porridge in the city for three days in a row, saying that it was to pray for Yan Peng on the battlefield and for the Yan family.

After the Yan family, the Zhao family, the Wu family, the Zhu family, etc. also followed, therefore, from the day after the winter solstice to Laba, these days there are big families in the city soup porridge.

For this reason, Li Cong realized that the Lu family's good deed is of great significance, at least, there are no people starving to death or freezing to death in the street these days as in previous years, because in addition to giving porridge, these families also donated some unused clothes and quilts at home to keep out the cold.

So, Li Cong specially praised the good deeds of these families in the court, and emphasized a few words about the Lu family, attributing this credit to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, saying that Mrs. Lu will change her mistakes when she knows them, but she will not lose her kind nature.

However, praise is praise, Li Cong did not revoke the will to ban her, so Zhu was still a little dissatisfied in addition to the surprise, because this idea was Yan Yu's idea, Zhu gave Yan Yu a few days of good face, diluting some of the disappointment brought to her by Yan Yu's daughter.

On the afternoon of Laba, when Yan Yan was listening to Qingglaze talk about the porridge outside on the kang, a mother-in-law replied under the corridor, saying that Yan Zhang and Yan Bin were coming, and Yan Yan hurriedly got up and went out.

"What's wrong? Who messed with you? Yan Yan saw that Yan Bin was not as lively as before, and Yan Zhang's eyes were also misty, Yan Shan pursed his lips tightly and asked first.

"Eldest sister, I, I, I apologize to you for my second sister and mother, I, I..." Yan Zhang knelt down first, and Yan Bin and Yan Shan also knelt down.

When Yan Yan heard this, he guessed that these three people must have known about Yan Yu and Lu Ming, but it has been a few months since this matter, who found out about it?

"Hurry up, one yard is one yard, this matter has nothing to do with you." Yan Yan said as he stepped forward to help people.

"Eldest sister, will you not like us anymore, we, you, hate us or not, I, I..." Yan Bin suddenly hugged Yan Yan and cried.

"The second brother is obedient, the eldest sister doesn't dislike you, you can come to see the eldest sister, the eldest sister is very happy, really, tell the eldest sister, what do you want to eat today?" Yan Yan took advantage of the situation to help Yan Bin up first.

Yan Bin shook his head, "Eldest sister, I won't eat today, I just want to tell the eldest sister, I, I like the eldest sister, as long as the eldest sister doesn't dislike me, I can always be the second brother of the eldest sister, and I will support the eldest sister when I grow up in the future." ”

Yan Yan was a little inexplicable when he said this, "Okay, who told you about this?" ”

It turned out that because Yan Yu was picky last time, this time Yan Zhang came back to see Yan Yu first, and it happened that Yan Yu also gave birth to a child, and in confinement, they pooled some money to buy some gifts for the child.

Yan Yu didn't say anything about Yan Yan this time, but talked about Zhou Wanlai, Zhou Wan has been beautiful these days, a concubine went to the soup kitchen on behalf of the Lu family to send things to the health hall, and now almost the people in the city knew that this pregnant woman with a big belly was Lu Ming's newly married concubine, and couldn't help but have a good impression of her, saying that she was kinder than Yan Yu, but unfortunately it was not the main room.

But this idea was still Yan Yu's idea, and Yan Yu felt sick in his heart.

Who knew that a few days later, Zhou Wan also gave birth, but she also gave birth to a son, and now Yan Yu felt even more panicked.

This god is too unfair, her idea is to bless her to have a son, but who knows that this good thing has fallen on Zhou Wan's head, she might as well say everything!

Yan Zhang was not interested in what Yan Yu said, but he was a little puzzled by Zhou Wan's ability to come forward on behalf of the Lu family, mainly because they had just returned from the academy, and the Ma family naturally would not take the initiative to mention the Zhu family's grounding to his sons, so Yan Zhang didn't know what happened during this time.

Who knew that Yan Zhang was just about to ask Yan Yu, but Yan Yu's daughter suddenly cried, and Yan Zhang had to give up.

However, when he came out of Yan Yu, Yan Zhang had a little more heart, grabbed Caiyi and asked.

Caiyi had to tell the story that the Zhu family was grounded by the emperor, and also said why the Zhu family was grounded.

Knowing that the Zhu family was grounded because he said bad things about Yan Yan, Yan Zhang realized another problem, such an important festival as Laba, but Yan Yan did not return to the Lu family, this doesn't seem to be right, does it have anything to do with the Zhu family's grounding?

It's a pity that Caiyi didn't dare to answer this question, vaguely, and his eyes were dodging, and finally found a reason why Yan Yu was looking for her and hurried back, even forgetting the basic send-off etiquette.

Seeing this, Yan Zhang's suspicion became even heavier, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered one thing, the last time he came to visit the second sister at the Lu family, it seemed that he also sent them out by Caiyi, and as soon as he came out, he ran into Zhou Wan, when the three of them were talking to Zhou Wan, Caiyi went in and called out the second sister, and finally the second sister sent the three of them out of the Lu family, and did not let them talk to Zhou Wan alone.

Obviously, Zhou Wan is in the know, and the second sister is guarding against her.

In other words, something big must have happened before this, and this matter must be related to the second sister, and it is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhang had an idea, and asked Yan Bin and Yan Shan to visit Zhou Wan, the two of them were just ten years old, and in the name of sending a congratulatory gift, it should not cause any bad rumors.

Yan Bin already had a good impression of Zhou Wan, so when he heard that he was asked to visit Zhou Wan, he also happily agreed, pulling Yan Shan to bounce and leave, Yan Zhang pulled the two of them back, instructed them a few words, and then ordered a mother-in-law to send them to Zhou Wan's yard.
