Chapter 15 Ulterior motives
Lu Yue couldn't tell whether this person was good or bad, although he looked treacherous, but in the end it was the person that his father fancied, and he thought of his father's illness, so he got up slowly, smoothed out the wrinkled dress, and ordered the person who was kneeling right now to get up.
Turning around and lifting the sedan curtain, Xuan'er was still sitting upright, but her eyes were a little strange when she saw her, as if she was looking at some monster again.
Xuan'er has received a lot of education in the palace, and he has different ways to deal with different humiliations, but he has never heard of it, nor has he thought that there is such a way as Lu Yue, which even makes people want to laugh a little.
Everyone didn't expect that there was still a doll sitting in the sedan chair, and they talked about it again, and now the Zhao family, who had just gotten up, no longer had any energy to care about which child she was carrying.
No longer bothering with the people in front of the door, Lu'er hugged Lu Yue and stepped into the Lu Mansion with Xuan'er Yanbai, the guests outside the original door were just the tip of the iceberg, and the ones in the house were their real audience today.
Lu Yue bowed slightly to the shopping mall giants or officialdom adults in this house, and walked through the weeping flower hall towards the wing.
The people who stayed all the way speculated about the identity of the child.
My father lived in the east wing of the main courtyard, and at the moment the courtyard was silent, and not even a single guard was missing, which was a huge contrast to the guests who were drinking and the maids who came and went in the front hall.
Pushing the door open, a violent cough sounded a little frightening in the quiet environment.
When Lu Yue heard it, she frowned slightly and said, "Lu'er, you take Xuan'er and Yanbai to the canteen to eat some snacks first, and I'll talk to my father for a while." ”
Lu Yue said, took the snack box from Lu'er's hand, with a serious expression on her face, Xuan'er saw it, nodded, and the other two also obeyed the arrangement.
Walking into the wing, the louder the cough became, Lu Yue's heart was inexplicably astringent, and she walked in quickly, only to see her father curled up on the old and worn-out Taishi chair.
But after three days of not seeing him, he looked suddenly older, his temples were even more gray, and his ginger robe looked a little wide on his body, which was similar to the quarrel with her that day.
There was only one maid waiting to take the medicine, but every time my father swallowed a mouthful, he coughed and wanted to arch his thin body.
Lu Yue looked sad, sorted out her emotions, stepped forward with a snack box, and called Daddy sweetly.
Hearing this familiar and well-behaved voice, Lu Zhengxiao raised his eyes and saw that his longing daughter was standing in front of him, his eyes were a little less rebellious and uninhibited, and he was dressed in red and delicate, so that he couldn't tell whether it was the daughter who was married in front of him, or Hua Yue, who was married to him in red makeup.
Seeing this, the maid on the side bowed down and went out.
"Yue'er, my Yue'er." After hesitating for a long time, Lu Zhengxiao finally shouted out with trembling hands.
"Daddy, look at what Yue'er has brought you." Lu Yue leaned over and sat down next to Lu Zhengxiao, opened the snack box in her arms, and took out the peach blossom shortbread inside, "Daddy, look, Yue'er personally hugged her all the way, and she didn't break a single piece." ”
"Good, good, my good daughter has grown up." Lu Zhengxiao still remembered Lu Yue'er's willful appearance, and now he hasn't seen her for a few days, but when she saw that her daughter had become so well-behaved and sensible, she almost burst into tears for a while.
"But Yue'er, why did you come so early, Lord, I heard your Aunt Zhao say that you still have an hour to come back, and your father can't go to meet you." Lu Zhengxiao felt a little guilty, his daughter's return to the door was a big deal, but he was so sick today that he even handed over the return banquet to the Zhao family.
"It's okay, my daughter misses her father, and she can come to visit her father at any time." Lu Yue ignored her father's question, her face pretended to be relaxed, but she knew in her heart that it seemed that this banquet was indeed organized by the Zhao family, but was her real purpose really just to humiliate herself?
Just as he was thinking about it, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it was Lu Lanting.
"Princess!" Lu Lanting saluted Lu Yue, his expression and tone were as usual, as if nothing had happened outside the door. After that, he arched his hand to Lu Zhengxiao and said, "Brother, the return banquet is about to start, and you have to go over to start the banquet." ”
Lu Yue was silent, and helped his father to the front hall with him, but he thought that today's banquet would not be peaceful.
After two days of dazed sleep, Lu Zhengxiao stepped out of the wing room for the first time, looked at the layout of the house and the maids and servants who came and went, and asked puzzledly, "How did this banquet become so grand?" ”。
"Brother, sister-in-law specially invited many big people in Tianfu City today, one is to celebrate the princess's return to the door, and the other is that my brother's illness is urgent, I am afraid that I will provoke something, and today's return banquet also has the meaning of joy." Lu Lanting on the side replied respectfully.
"Nonsense, what nonsense!" Lu Zhengxiao shook his head and said angrily, he was angry and coughed, and his body was low, if it wasn't for Lu Yue's hard support, I am afraid it would be difficult to support.
"Brother is not angry, sister-in-law is also worried about my brother's body, brother must not be angry and hurt his body!" Lu Lanting was busy stroking Lu Zhengxiao's back, and his words were worried and concerned.
Lu Yue looked at Lu Lanting with a concerned look, but a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Walking through the verandah, at the end is the banquet hall where Lufuli usually holds a large banquet, push the door in, Nanmu gold wire tables and chairs, strange flowers and fragrances, the whole hall is decorated magnificently. The hall was already full of guests who had been invited to the homecoming banquet, and the seats of the exclusive upper seat and the host next to it were empty.
Seeing the arrival of the main house, the guests got up one after another to drink, and Zhao's face was happy and calm, and he walked softly, and took Lu Zhengxiao's arm from Lu Yue's hand, as if nothing had happened to Lu Yue.
Seeing that the situation was like this, Lu Zhengxiao didn't know what to say, so he had to be helped to the seat of the main family, and Lu Yue was also carried to the upper seat by a maid.
Lu Zhengxiao turned his head and saw Lu Yue sitting alone, and there was no figure of the prince in the whole banquet, his face suddenly turned suffocated, he couldn't have imagined that on the day he returned to the door, his son-in-law would not accompany his daughter to come back!
"The feast begins!" A sharp voice sounded, and rows of pink-clothed maids entered the door, each holding a white jade dinner plate, lightly placed it on the table, and then left the table.
"Congratulations to Lord Lu, congratulations to Lord Lu, I am really envious of being able to get married to such a good family." A slightly chubby man sitting in the lower seat raised his glass in celebration.
Lu Zhengxiao raised his glass slightly, but his face was a little unbearable, and when he was indignant, he raised his head and drank the wine, but he coughed again.
"It's not, King Qin's Mansion, this family affair is really amazing, it's just that I can't see Lord Qin at this big gift today!" The other person laughed, and Lu Yue turned his head to look over, he was a competitor in his father's business, but he was helplessly overwhelmed by his father.
One sentence provoked the people on the field to whisper.
