Chapter Ninety-Nine: Confession
Lu Man's original intention was to clean up Mrs. Lu and Brother Lu Fangrong, but it was not feasible to listen to Jiang Zhanwei's words. It seems that because of this battle, Lu Fangrong will be reused. Thinking that the phoenix man might be promoted, Lu Man was like a stalk in his throat, extremely depressed.
She said angrily, "Mama, there are so many injustices in the world, not only Xiao Chen's and Baoqin's bad, but also Mrs. Lu, Lu Fangrong, and Lu Fangming are not much better. Ruthless and greedy for money, but they don't get the retribution they deserve. ”
Mama Wang also persuaded, "Third grandmother, just keep the words of scolding the old lady and the second master in your heart, and people will say that you are not filial." ”
In Luo Xuanli, the eldest grandmother sent her subordinates down, and whispered to Jiang Shizi, "Uncle, that Lu family is not simple, he can talk and be ingenious." Now, not only does he coax his grandmother well, but Lao Guogong Xie also looks at her differently. No wonder after her mother-in-law accompanied her to Xie Guogong's mansion last time, she was unhappy, saying that there was no one in the old man's mind, and she held a little family girl who couldn't get on the stage to the sky. In the eyes of the Xie family, except for grandmother and Lu, they can't pretend to be anyone else......"
Jiang Zhanju pondered for a moment and said, "The Lu family will be clever again, and they are also people in the second room, whether they are good or not, it has nothing to do with us." Now that grandmother values her, you should not have a gap with her, try to be as harmonious as possible, and never let grandmother dislike. Of course, my mother was right, the old man Xie was indeed disgusting, vulgar and arrogant, and my grandfather never liked him. Now that my grandmother has something to ask Xie Guogong for, she will put down her body and make friends, and the two governments will not have too much contact in the future, so there is no need to be angry. I also persuaded my mother that she should at least be superficial with the Lu family, and not let her grandmother and father dislike ......"
The eldest grandmother listened to her husband's words very much, and when she saw him say this, she also suppressed her dissatisfaction with Lu Man, thinking about how to continue to befriend her without pleasing her mother-in-law.
During the night, it began to rain. The lightning and thunder woke Lu Man up from his dream, and after thinking about his thoughts for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, the rain did not stop, and Lu Man took a sedan chair to Heming Hall.
The eldest princess didn't sleep well because of the heavy rain last night and because she was thinking about Jiang Zhanwei. She cheered up, said a few words by the old colt's bedside, and went to rest in the west room.
Lu Man looked at the old colt whose face was fine, drank the fragrance of numb, and grew some meat, sighed slightly, helped him pinch his arm, and pouted, "Grandfather, why hasn't your old man woken up yet." You slept sweetly, and your granddaughter-in-law's heart was not steady. Wake up quickly, wake up, your granddaughter-in-law will have a better life in the future......"
Lu Man thought about his thoughts, and talked to him for a dozen and said irrelevant things for a while, and when he saw Xiao Caihe coming, he got up and went to the west side room.
The eldest princess was reclining on the pillow of the Luohan bed with her eyes closed, and a girl knelt on the paddle board and thumped her legs. Because the weather was a little cooler, the jade pillow had been replaced with a green silk pillow embroidered with money.
Lu Man hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not.
The eldest princess didn't open her eyes and said, "It's Zhanwei's daughter-in-law, come in and pinch my neck, I didn't sleep well yesterday, sore." ”
Lu Man walked in, and the eldest princess sat up straight, still not opening her eyes.
Lu Man rubbed her, and the sound of Xiao Cai and babbling came from the east, singing tiredly.
She rubbed it for a while before she called softly, "Grandmother......"
The eldest princess said, "Well, what do I mean? ”
Lu Man looked left and right, and the people under him retreated in interest.
She said, "Granddaughter-in-law wants to report one thing to you, that is, the third master sent someone to find the granddaughter-in-law's nurse Mother Wang." "She must report the matter of Mother Wang to the eldest princess, and don't tell anyone else for the time being, but she can't hide it from the eldest parent.
"Oh, don't you say that her son is a thief, why did you get her into the house?" The eldest princess asked.
Lu Man came to her and knelt down in front of her, and said, "Mama Wang's son is not a thief, because my stepmother occupied my mother's dowry Renhetang, so I found an excuse to sell Mama Wang's family, who knew the inside story." He added, "It was also later that my girl went out of the house to run into the shopkeeper Li of Xiaorenhetang, and I only found out when I heard about it." Later, the third master came back and helped me find someone after he found out. Because Mama Wang sold it to Jiaodong, it was close and she was found within a month. Her man and son and daughter-in-law were sold far away, and now there is no news, and a granddaughter died at the hands of Renyazi......"
She also told Renhetang that Renhetang had stopped practicing medicine a few months before He Huang's accident, He Huang wrote the big courtyard into the dowry list of his only daughter He, and after He was divorced, Xiao Chen and Baoqin stole the dragon and turned the phoenix into Renhetang's name. But Mrs. Lu's harsh criticism and Lu Fangrong's ruthless words have been replaced, I am afraid that Lu Man, who is a granddaughter and daughter, will talk too much and dislike the eldest princess, so they will be told by others, or the eldest princess will think about it herself.
The eldest princess opened her eyes and scolded, "There is such a greedy stepmother in the world, a cheap maid who betrays the master, hateful!" He said to the tearful Lu Man, "Get up, poor man, you didn't grow crooked in that house, and you can still be so good to Xiao Jiu'er, it's really hard for you." and your nurse, she is a rare loyal servant, for the sake of the little master, she was ruined. When you go back, let Minshu take fifty taels of silver, which is the reward of the palace. Tell her again, what Hongu said, she did a good job. ”
Minshu is the name of Mama Qian.
Lu Man thanked Mama Wang, got up, saw the eldest princess beckoning, and sat down beside her again.
The eldest princess took her hand and said, "You want to get Renhetang back, right?" ”
Lu Man nodded and said, "That's my mother's dowry, before she left the capital, she asked Mama Wang and Lao Li to help me keep it, and my grandmother also promised to hand it over to me completely." I can't let it fall into the hands of Xiao Chen, I'm so sorry for my mother. ”
The eldest princess said, "Well, I have to come back." However, don't be too ostentatious when you want it, after all, it used to be He Huang's industry, and it made a big fuss, so that person knows that it's not good......"
Lu Man said obediently, "Well, my granddaughter-in-law knows." The third master said that my father would return to Beijing soon, but my father seemed to have important business, and when he was busy for a while, the third master would help me discuss it together. ”
The eldest princess nodded and said, "If there is something that is difficult to do, let Yan Jialing and Yin Weishu help do it." ”
The family order and the guard rate are both subordinate officials of the eldest princess's mansion, the family order is equivalent to the housekeeper, and the guard rate is equivalent to the captain of the guard.
Lu Man didn't expect the eldest princess to be able to do this for her, and he was very moved in his heart, and said, "Thank you grandmother for protecting me so much." ”
The eldest princess patted the back of her hand and smiled, "You are the granddaughter-in-law of this palace, of course this palace has to think about you." Thinking of the old lady of the Lu family, she snorted coldly, "That old lady Lu is also vulgar and doesn't know what to say, such a delicate and delicate and capable granddaughter, but she is practiced by others." ”
