Chapter 91: Ulterior motives
Lu Xue returned to Songxue Pavilion from Zhuyuan, her face was a little wrong, Mingzhu and Mingyue wanted to ask, but they didn't dare to ask.
Their girls have always had a bad temper, and they get angry when they ask too much.
Although the girls' temperament has become much quieter recently, they do not dare to meddle in the affairs of their masters at will.
Lu Xueyi's face was weird, not angry, but he felt that he seemed to have mistaken Xie Qi, this person was not as indifferent and poisonous as he seemed on the outside, but the pain in his body seemed to be much more normal.
No matter what, Lu Xueyi has a little more humanity towards Xie Qi.
The Lu family lost a big ugly thing because of Aunt Qiao and Shen Li, and hit Master Lu hard.
His reputation for many years was discredited because of this incident, which made him upset and irritable all day long, and even the entire Lu family was panicked.
In the past few days, Shen Li sent people to make peace, but Master Lu directly turned people away.
"Why did the Lu family have such a thing, is it that I am busy with business on weekdays, and I neglect to discipline you, and I have to poke out the holes for eight days before I stop?" Master Lu sat in the living room and was furious.
Tie Qing's face and angry reprimand made the Lu family's subordinates silent one by one.
When Lu Xueyi passed by the hall, she heard the roar of her cheap father, and her mood suddenly became beautiful.
Since she is the eldest lady of the Lu family, she can't leave a group of scourges by her side. She is always rigorous in her life wisdom and wisdom.
If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone deceives me, he will forsake him.
Lu Xueyi came to the pharmacy in the house in a happy mood, since she already knew that the poisonous tongue man was suffering from a stubborn disease, then she should help him in the face of Mr. Qu Yuan.
Lu Xueyi appeared in the medicine hall with Mingzhu, and was naturally respected and flattered in every way.
"Is there something wrong with the eldest lady? How about the little one immediately let people go to the tonic and send it to Songxue Pavilion? The servant in the medicine hall asked respectfully.
Lu Xueyi nodded with satisfaction, this ancient is also good in ancient times. There is no one else who can enjoy this honor anytime and anywhere.
"Help me find some medicinal tonic that is mild and regulates the symptoms of cold, and send them over." Lu Xueyi's face was handsome, and a dimple was faintly revealed when she spoke.
The subordinate felt that he should drink and agreed.
Lu Xue deliberately bypassed the hall on the way back to Songxue Pavilion, and Master Lu was angry, even his own daughter couldn't stand it.
"Girl, the slave maid heard that the old man refused Shen Li's cooperation in a hurry, and she no longer plans to participate in the preparation of the emperor's birthday banquet." This is where Mingzhu is smarter than Mingyue.
Lu Xueyi nodded slightly and said, "I guessed it a long time ago." ”
Mingzhu thinks that her girl has become smarter, and she doesn't know whether it is good or bad.
Before Lu Xueyi walked to Songxue Pavilion, a person ran in front of her, it was Rong Yanqing.
"Yi'er, wait a minute." Rong Yanqing ran over with an eager face and called Lu Xueyi out.
Lu Xueyi didn't plan to stop, but since her name had already been called, how could she turn a blind eye.
"Young Master Rong, is there something wrong?" Lu Xueyi showed a light smile.
Rong Yanqing walked closer and adjusted her breathing, looked at Lu Xueyi and said, "I heard that the old lady said that your illness has been cured, so I wanted to come and see you." ”
Lu Xueyi nodded when she heard this, and said, "Thank you Young Master Rong for your concern, Xueyi's body has recovered, and she doesn't have to worry about it." I still have something to do, so let's go first. ”
After Lu Xueyi finished speaking, she didn't give Rong Yanqing a chance to react, turned around and left immediately.
A few days ago, Rong Yanqing came to talk to her in front of her room every day, and she was a little afraid of this gentle and elegant son.
Lu Xueyi's figure quickly disappeared into the path, leaving only Rong Yanqing with a sad face.
She still didn't want to take care of herself, even if she walked out of the door, she still didn't want to face him, Rong Yanqing thought sadly.
"Girl, Young Master Rong is such a good person, why is the girl avoiding him?" Mingzhu asked puzzled.
Lu Xueyi showed a look at Mingzhu that you don't understand, and then returned to her Songxue Pavilion with brisk steps.
In recent days, the Lu family has calmed down.
Master Lu fell ill in anger because of the previous incident, and he stayed at home to recuperate for the past few days, which made the people in each pavilion and garden settle down a lot.
Aunt Qiao was reprimanded by Master Lu, locked up in her Qiao Xiang Pavilion and thought about it behind closed doors, and was grounded for a month.
Without Aunt Qiao's instigation back and forth in the courtyard, the Lu family was a lot quieter. Even Aunt Xia, because she saw Aunt Qiao being punished, she was a lot more vigilant.
Master Lu has been living in Dongyuan these days and is taken care of by Liu Qingqing, which made Master Lu see Liu Qingqing's goodness, and appropriately delegated the power of the Lu family to Liu Qingqing.
"Master, how does your body feel today?" Liu Qingqing was holding a tray in his hand, on which was Master Lu's tonics.
Master Lu got up from the bed, looked at Liu Qingqing in front of him, and suddenly realized that he seemed to have snubbed his wife for a long time.
"Come here." Master Liu stretched out his hand towards Liu Qingqing, in his impression, this wife is simple and gentle, and she is a good housekeeper.
Liu Qingqing obediently approached the bed, and carefully placed the tray in his hand on the low cabinet next to the bed.
Master Lu reached out and grabbed Liu Qingqing's wrist, held the pair of green and white jade hands in the palm of his hand, and sighed sincerely: "I have wronged you." ”
The woman in the inner courtyard of the boudoir is already extremely happy to be favored by her husband.
When Liu Qingqing heard Master Lu say this, her eyes instantly turned red, she was not afraid of being wronged and cold, she was afraid that her husband would not have her in his heart.
At this moment, someone from outside the door came to report: "Master, Master Shen has sent someone over again." ”
Master Lu's face became a lot heavier when he heard this, he had already made it clear that he would no longer cooperate, this Shen Li was a persistent person.
"Let someone take him to the side hall, and I'll come over in a moment." When Master Lu said this, he inevitably still had some temperament in his heart.
"Master, family affairs and business are not the same thing, take care of yourself." Liu Qingqing just said something appropriately.
Master Lu is an extremely domineering person, and others are not allowed to say a word about what he decides.
Master Lu glanced at Liu Qingqing meaningfully, turned around and left the room.
Liu Qingqing sighed silently, this early morning made the old man angry, when will he be able to change his temperament?
At noon, Master Lu did not go to Dongyuan, which made Liu Qingqing annoyed.
The depressed mood is spreading, but Liu Qingqing has no appetite at all.
"Madam, you can eat a little bit, the slave and maid sent someone to inquire, but the master didn't go anywhere, but went to the eldest lady." Ye Xin, the big girl next to Liu Qingqing, is a clever girl.
In the morning, when she saw that her wife was uneasy, she ran out to inquire, and the news she got was just enough to comfort her.
"Really?" Liu Qingqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Master Lu dotes on his daughter-in-law, this is a well-known thing in the Lu family, and it is Master Lu's consistent style not to come to Dongyuan in order to accompany Lu Xueyi to dinner.
Liu Qingqing put down the big stone in her heart, and learned that Master Lu didn't deliberately snub her because of her gaffe in the morning, and she had a big appetite.
While eating, a servant ran in at the door, who was the little servant waiting beside the master.
"Madam, the master said that I would come back for dinner later, so you can prepare first." The little guy finished the word and left.
This made Liu Qingqing busy, and he didn't eat half of the meal, and hurriedly ordered the small kitchen to cook some meals that Master Lu liked to eat.
Master Lu was in an extremely unhappy mood, and the reason was that his baby daughter actually drove him away under the pretext of having a headache.
Mingzhu and Mingyue were also quite cooperative, and the two knelt down in front of Master Lu with a melancholy expression, blaming themselves for not taking good care of the eldest lady.
Master Lu eats more salt than Lu Xueyi drinks, so how could she not see that she did it on purpose.
Master Lu turned around and left Songxue Pavilion, and when he left, he also instructed Mingzhu and Mingyue to take good care of the eldest lady.
There is also a reason why Lu Xueyi would do this.
Today, she went to the medicine hall in the house to pick up the medicine, and the people in the medicine hall told her that there was no warm and cold tonic in the medicine hall that she wanted.
Lu Xueyi ran back and forth several times and returned empty-handed, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Because of Aunt Qiao's previous matter, Master Lu had already made it clear that no one in the Lu family was allowed to go out without permission.
Who is Lu Xueyi, in her previous life, she was a famous psychological counselor, specializing in studying people's psychological changes.
Don't look at her bold and coquettish behavior towards Master Lu, it was all calculated in her heart in advance, what will Master Lu do next, so she dares to do that.
Lu Xueyi watched Master Lu leave, and the whole person relaxed.
Suddenly, she heard a faint cough, accompanied by a light wheezing.
Lu Xue followed the sound and saw that it was a voice from the main house of Xiyuan, so she asked Mingzhu to go over and investigate.
After Mingzhu came back, she said: "The girl is Aunt Su who is sick, and she said that she has been bored in the house all day and dyed with moisture. ”
Lu Xueyi thought for a while and said, "Go and ask Mr. Qu Yuan to come over." ”
Hearing this, Mingzhu hurriedly ran away.
Lu Xueyi was bored enough in the Lu Mansion, and she wanted to go out for a walk, but she couldn't find an excuse.
Thinking of this, Lu Xueyi got up and took Mingyue to Dongyuan.
As soon as Master Lu sat down to eat, Lu Xueyi followed, which really made him smile bitterly.
"Dad, my daughter has always felt a little headache these days, Mr. Qu Yuan said that it would be better if she could go out for a walk more, so my daughter wants to ask my father for instructions to leave the house." Lu Xue tugged at her eyelids, making herself look like she had no energy at all.
Master Lu has always loved this daughter, and his conditions are naturally met one by one. But Lu Xueyi had just recovered from her illness and was about to go out, so he was a little worried.
"If Dad doesn't worry about his daughter, let Aunt Su go out for a walk with her daughter, I heard that Aunt Su is stuffy in the room all day and dyed with moisture, it would be better to go out and bask in the sun more, okay?" Lu Xueyi came to Master Lu and coquettishly towards Master Lu.
