Chapter 60: Leave the Church
Lu shook his head, although he hated it in his heart, he had to deny it: "Husband, the concubine has never thought of persecuting you, Miss Cousin is a good girl, if you really like her, how can you not understand you as a wife, but I am afraid that Miss Cousin will be angry and refuse to be a concubine, then the concubine body is not blocking the good things of the husband, the concubine is willing to do everything for the husband, including inviting herself to the court!" ”
What she said was sincere, if the people present didn't know about the Lu family, I am afraid that they would really be moved by her, but Bai Mujian was not moved, and the person who was moved was Bai Shizu.
didn't give the Lu family a chance to turn the tables, Bai Muhiscus spoke at the right time, and praised sincerely: "Mother is really virtuous and virtuous, which makes Jin'er admire, but there may not be no way to have both worlds in this world. ”
Hearing this, Bai Shizu suddenly felt that his daughter had never been cute and clever, and kept nodding to her, his eyes were full of emotion and joy, but he still didn't speak, after all, this matter still needs to be said by the Lu family to show her generosity.
Lu lowered his head and gritted his teeth, Bai Mu Hibiscus is really a harmful spirit, how can she have her business anywhere, and now she is forced to be in a dilemma, she may have just taken a concubine, but now she actually said that Empress E, that is, to let Mu Xinping be on an equal footing with herself? How does this work?
She was helpless, and finally she was unwilling to speak by herself, because once she spoke, there would be no room for turning around. Mama Du is also in a hurry, if the Lu family pushed the boat down the river just now and took the initiative to help the grandfather open his mouth to accept Mu Xinping as a concubine, then this matter would be so decided, at most she is just a noble concubine, but now she is going to be raised as a flat wife, how can this be good?
Old Madam Bai was silent on the side, but her eyes showed her approval for Bai Mujian, she was really a smart child, and she forced the Lu family into a dilemma and had no way out. Originally, she just wanted Mu Xinping to be a concubine first, and then find a way to raise her identity after giving birth to a son in the future, but she didn't expect her to say this, I'm afraid this entry is a flat wife.
Naturally, it is very good for her, as long as she becomes a flat wife, she can justifiably ask for half of the housekeeping rights to be given to Mu Xinping, wouldn't that be a lot less trouble?
Lu's heart turned a thousand times, and he couldn't wait for a few more brains to figure out how to break the trap set by Bai Hibiscus for her, and it took a long time to raise his head, look at Bai Shizu gently, and said: "Husband, it's all up to you, it's just that Miss Biao is injured now, it's better to wait for her to wake up, let's think about it in the long run, no matter how you say about this matter, you have to nod from the girl, otherwise wouldn't it mean that our Guogong Mansion is oppressive of people?" ”
Bai Shizu also felt justified when he heard it, but he didn't know that this was Lu's delaying plan, and was about to speak, but Bai Mujin took the lead, seeing that she looked at Lu with a happy and convincing expression, and said with emotion: "Mother, if you say virtuous, I'm afraid there won't be a few people in the whole capital who can compare with you." For the sake of your father, you really agreed to let your cousin be a flat wife, this belly is worthy of being the daughter of the Lu family, if your father can get a good wife, what is there to be dissatisfied with? In the future, Jin'er will have another mother who loves me, but it's good for my mother, there is someone to help you share, and you don't have to work too hard! ”
Bai Shizu listened to Bai Mujian's words, his eyes narrowed with laughter, and he said happily: "What Jin'er said is reasonable, Ning Xiang, I didn't misunderstand you, you are really a virtuous person, hehe...... In the future, I will be able to have you and Xinping, which is a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life! ”
Lu never thought that her plan to delay would become an established fact, and she was confused when she saw Bai Shizuxing's elated appearance.
Bai Shizu gently helped her up, nodded at her incessantly, his heart was full of joy, and then he went to the soft couch to look at the sleeping Mu Xinping, with a look of affection, that deep and meaningful look, which made Lu's heart wrinkled, painful and astringent, this man, who used to belong to her alone, is now going out in half of his life, doesn't it break her heart?
Bai Shizu gently shook Mu Xinping's hand, but saw her wake up slowly, open her misty eyes, and look ignorant.
Bai Shizu hurriedly asked, "Xinping, how are you?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Mu Xinping frowned and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with me?" My head hurts......"
Old Madam Bai saw her like this, and said distressedly: "Silly boy, why are you so fierce, you don't even care about your life, if you go like this, won't you make me feel distressed to death?" ”
Mu Xinping glanced at Old Madam Bai apologetically, and said in a sad voice: "Auntie, I'm sorry, Xinping is too reckless and makes you worry, it's really unfilial!" ”
"Okay, okay, it's okay if people are okay, it's okay if it's okay!" Old Madam Bai patted her hand and said very happily.
Mu Xinping glanced at Bai Shizu, her eyes were a little evasive, painful and hurtful, which made people feel pity, Bai Shizu was the most pitiful person, how could he be indifferent? Hurriedly said: "Xinping, you're fine, it's really good, you really scared me to death just now!" ”
Mu Xinping withdrew her hand and said with a little timidity: "Cousin, please don't say such things again, lest my cousin-in-law misunderstand me again, I will definitely stay away from my cousin in the future, and I won't dare to get close to my cousin, so as not to embarrass my cousin!" ”
"What are you talking about, Xinping, I know your mind, it must be the same as me, in front of your mother today, can you accept me and marry me?" Bai Shizu couldn't wait to say, for fear that he would really miss Mu Xinping a little later, and let her stay away from him.
Mu Xinping looked at him in surprise, and looked at the silent Lu family behind him as if she was worried, and then said, "Is my cousin going to be a concubine?" I know I'm a low-status orphan girl, but ...... But ......"
"Fool, why did I say I wanted you to be a concubine? Ning Xiang has already agreed, let me marry you as a flat wife, and I will never wronged you, are you willing? Bai Shizu didn't wait for her to finish, and hurriedly explained clearly.
Lu Shi was behind her, her heart was tight, and she couldn't wait to pounce on her now to stop everything from happening, but Mama Du grabbed her to the death, didn't let her move, and reminded her with her eyes that she couldn't do anything but watch Mu Xinping become Bai Shizu's wife.
Old Madam Bai slowly spoke at this time, and said: "Xinping, don't say anything about your humble status, you call me aunt, I am your maiden family, although you are in the middle of the road, but you are also a scholarly family, the daughter of the Mu family, why not be a flat wife?" What's more, your reputation is also affected by the ancestor, if you don't marry him, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to find a good family in the future, so it is reasonable for him to give you a name! ”
When she spoke, her eyes still glanced at Lu, who had a painful face, as if she was saying it to her, which made Lu's face turn white suddenly, she was so stupid that she fell for them.
If she doesn't come to make trouble today, Mu Xinping can only be a concubine, but ...... She turned around and glanced at the white hibiscus who was silent on the side, as calm as water, this matter was absolutely inseparable from her.
If she hadn't made trouble, Bai Shizu would definitely not marry Mu Xinping against her will, he would have pity for her as in the past, and then put Mu Xinping aside, and after today, she could think of countless ways to get rid of Mu Xinping, but she appeared, didn't give herself any chance to retreat, and pushed herself into the trap step by step.
Bai Hibiscus's eyes were so light and light, as if he was still smiling, but when Lu looked at it, he felt like falling into an ice cellar, that kind of cold eyes, how could it belong to Bai Hibiscus, how could it belong to a thirteen-year-old girl?
But when she looked closely, she couldn't catch anything, she still had such a gentle and harmless expression, and even smiled at her.
Mu Xinping pondered for a long time, Fang looked at Old Madam Bai with emotion, and said softly: "Auntie, you are so good to Xinping, Xinping will definitely be filial to you like her own mother, serve you, and serve you well...... Cousin......"
After saying that, she lowered her eyes shyly, her face was red, and she didn't dare to look at Bai Shizu, but Old Madam Bai patted her hand happily and said, "Hehe...... It's good if you're good, all my wife wants is a house full of children and grandchildren, and Cheng Huan is on his knees! ”
Bai Shizu glanced at Mrs. Bai gratefully, feeling that his mother loved him without asking for anything in return, thinking of his father's early death, she worked hard to run the family alone, and thought about him wholeheartedly, and was full of emotion for a while.
"Mother......" Bai Shizu shouted to Mrs. Bai with red eyes, but saw her nodding and smiling, as if she understood everything, but she didn't care about everything.
Bai Shizu also nodded, thinking that he had done so many bastard things, and he had repeatedly contradicted his mother for the Lu family, he felt guilty.
Seeing this, Bai Mujin walked over unhurriedly, and said with a smile: "It's good now, no one needs to be sad anymore, hehe...... Aunt Cousin, oh...... Father, grandmother, isn't it time for Jin'er to change her mind? ”
Bai Hibiscus looked innocent, but with an obvious urgency, which made Mu Xinping's face even redder, and she pretended to glare at Bai Hibiscus angrily, and said angrily: "Okay, you are a narrow ghost, you actually teased me, look at me, don't beat you!" ”
Bai Mujin hurriedly hid behind Bai Shizu, and said with a frightened face: "Father, look, my cousin is going to beat me before I pass the door, you have to make the decision for me!" ”
Bai Shizu was amused by them and laughed, lit Bai Hibiscus's nose, and pretended to blame: "You girl, what a living treasure!" ”
After speaking, she looked at Mu Xinping affectionately, always feeling that her delicate appearance was so pitiful and cute, Bai Mujian smiled and pulled Mrs. Bai's hand, and said, "Grandmother, Jin'er remembers, I just made a painting in the afternoon, and I haven't shown it to you yet!" ”
Old Madam Bai understood, so she said: "Well, it's okay, let's all go, and let Xinping have a good rest, you can stay here and serve tourmaline!" ”
Tourmaline hurriedly responded, Mrs. Bai glanced at Lu before leaving, as if telling her that she should also be more interesting and leave, Lu was helpless, and was pulled by Mama Du to leave the study, watching her husband stay to take care of another woman.
Bai Mu Hibiscus followed Mrs. Bai away, and Mrs. Bai asked with a smile, "Jin'er, do you really like Xinping to be your mother?" ”
