Chapter 111: A Woman of Unknown Origin
Bai Mujin felt Mrs. Lu's excitement, glanced at the woman, and sure enough, she was wearing the golden hairpin that Lu Tian took from Linglong Fang last time, and she was dressed very finely, but there was always a smell of wind and dust that was difficult to hide when she looked at her face.
She gently squeezed Mrs. Lu's hand and reminded her to be calmer, and when she looked at Mama Cui again, she was also surprised and incredulous, and she knew that there must be something special about this woman.
As soon as the little woman saw Mrs. Lu, she kowtowed and said, "Concubine to the old lady, please let the old lady let me in, I just want to kowtow to Xiangye!" ”
Mrs. Lu listened to her voice, and then came to her senses, this woman was kneeling outside, which had attracted the attention of passers-by, if she could not handle it properly, she was afraid that she would make a storm, so she calmed down and said, "You get up first, follow me in!" ”
Bai Mujin didn't expect that her grandmother would let this woman enter the house so easily, it can be seen that she believed this woman's words, but obviously before she came out, Mrs. Lu still looked like she was going to drive people away.
Bai Mujin was also inconvenient to ask, so she only silently followed Mrs. Lu into the room, and the little woman saw that the old lady was so talkative, so she consciously went in, anyway, as long as she entered the door of the Lu family, she had no reason to leave.
Old Madam Lu deliberately took the woman around the road, avoiding all the guests, and went to her own courtyard. When the little woman saw this, she was a little timid, if she was quietly cooked by the old lady, then her purpose would not be achieved today.
But now that she is in the hands of others, she can't do anything, she just thinks that someone will come in time. Entering Mrs. Lu's house, the little woman immediately knelt down, her eyes were full of tears, and said: "Old lady, the concubine knows that it is really presumptuous to visit suddenly, but now I can't take care of it, I am a woman who has no name and no share, but this piece of meat in my stomach can't become a wild seed!" ”
Old Madam Lu looked at her in shock and asked almost in disbelief, "You have it?" But really? ”
"Naturally it's true, it's been three months, and the concubine has been begging the master to bring the concubine back to see the old lady and the grandfather, but he insisted on refusing, I only thought it was the sister in the family who stopped me, so I couldn't find it on my own, I just asked the old lady to give the concubine a name, so that the child in the concubine's belly could be an upright person!"
The little woman said that she was sincere, and even shed a few tears when she said that she was sad, and it was indeed pity for me to look at it, but Bai Muhibiscus just stared at her stomach. The eldest uncle was diagnosed with sterilization, but she said that she was pregnant at this time, what is going on?
Old Madam Lu was also full of doubts, if it weren't for Lu Zhaoran who was greeting guests, she would definitely invite someone to come over and confront her face-to-face, but now she could only think of ways to appease this woman of unknown origin.
"You settle down here first, since you are pregnant, don't kneel, Mama Cui will move a stool for her!" Mrs. Lu is not salty or light.
The little woman was only momentarily surprised when she saw that the old lady was pregnant, and she did not ask too much, and it was a little strange, but she did not dare to show it, and sat down after thanking her, and there was nothing wrong with etiquette.
Old Madam Lu stared at her face for a long time before asking, "What's your name?" Where are the people? Who else is in the family? ”
The woman replied one by one, only saying that her name was Li Rui, a native of Gusu, who had been living in the capital since she was a child, and she didn't know who else was in the family.
Mrs. Lu asked her where she met Lu Zhaoran, but she couldn't say it when she saw her for a long time, as if she had something unspeakable.
Old Madam Lu was the most unspeakable, and her voice was a little impatient: "If you ask, you will answer honestly, what are you doing?" Could it be that you are not in a place where you can see people? ”
Li Shi immediately knelt on the ground in shock, and replied tremblingly: "The old lady is forgiven, although the concubine is from Hualou, she is definitely a clear man, if you don't believe it, you can ask the master!" ”
It turned out to be a woman in a flower building, and Mrs. Lu was so angry that she almost couldn't slow down, but Bai Mujin patted her on the back in time, and fed her a sip of tea before calming down.
"My Lu family will never accept a woman from a flower house to enter the door, if you are a girl from a pure white family, I can call the shots and raise you as a concubine now, but the Lu family is a century-old family, and we must not ignore the reputation!" Old Madam Lu categorically refused.
Li Rui immediately cried, and said continuously: "Old lady, please be merciful, although the concubine was born in Hualou, her body is clean, and now she has the flesh and blood of the master, how can you watch the blood of the Lu family flow outside?" ”
"Hmph, don't talk about the flesh and blood of the Lu family, is it obvious, not necessarily!" Mrs. Lu refused to give in half a step, and the reputation of the Lu family must not be damaged because of Lu Zhao. Lu Zhaoan is no longer the unaccomplished concubine in the past, he is now of the same grade as Zhaoran, and he is quite trusted by the emperor, she can't help but be afraid.
Once Lu Zhaoran's bad reputation spreads and affects his official career, the next head of the family may fall on Lu Zhaoan, and she can't allow such a thing to happen.
Bai Mu Hibiscus naturally thought of this layer, which family would allow the women of Hualou to enter? Such a notoriety spread, and the uncle's life was ruined, and I don't know why the uncle was so confused, even if he wanted to take a concubine, he should find a clean man, but he went to find a fireworks woman.
Once someone is caught, I'm afraid it won't affect him alone, even my grandfather's reputation will be overshadowed, it's really a fool.
Old Madam Lu knew the reason for this, this woman could never stay, and she must be sent away far away while this matter was not expanded, and she must not appear in the capital again in her lifetime.
made up his mind, and just gave Mama Cui a look, but he heard the voices of the Hu family and the Qin family outside the door. As soon as Li Rui heard that someone was coming, she immediately cried loudly, and begged for mercy again and again, saying: "The old lady is gracious, all the concubine wants is to give birth to a child peacefully, even if the old lady refuses to give the concubine a name, let the concubine give birth to the child and then drive me away!" ”
As soon as the Hu clan and the Qin clan heard such words as soon as they entered the door, they both looked a little shocked. Qin was the first to ask, "Mother, what's wrong?" Who's this? ”
When she walked in, the whole person was stunned, trembling and taking half a step back, fortunately, Mama Cui's eyes were quick and she gave her a hand, otherwise the Qin family might not even be able to stand steadily.
Seeing that her eldest aunt behaved like this, Bai Mujin was even more sure that there must be something wrong with Li Rui's appearance, otherwise she would not have this reaction when facing the women she met for the first time.
Hu Shi had a frightened expression and shouted exaggeratedly, "Oh my God...... This...... It looks too similar, doesn't it? Sister-in-law, am I dazzled? ”
Qin Shi was already trembling, she looked at this woman's appearance, and she had already guessed the ** points, it turned out that her feeling was not wrong, her husband had never forgotten that woman, and now she was raising this woman who looked almost the same outside, but she had been kept in the dark.
Sadness, pain, helplessness, discouragement, and complex emotions came to her heart one after another, making her a little overwhelmed. It was because her expression was too obvious that Li Rui immediately guessed the identity of the Qin family, and immediately crawled over on her knees, knelt in front of the Qin family, and cried: "Sister, please help me beg the old lady to let the concubine stay in the mansion, I already have the flesh and blood of the master, and I can't let the blood and bones of the Lu family be lost outside!" ”
Qin Shi was even more shocked when he heard this, almost speechless, just watching Li Rui cry continuously, almost fainting, it was difficult for any woman to calm down when she encountered this kind of thing.
Hu Shi didn't seem to think that things were messy enough, so he wanted to interject and say, "Where are you a woman, how can you have the flesh and blood of the Lu family?" ”
As soon as Li Rui heard someone speak, she didn't care who it was, so she begged: "The concubine is the outer room of Lord Lu, and she has been raised in the house of Yong'an Lane. ”
Hu Shi was also very embarrassed when he heard it, and secretly glanced at Mrs. Lu, and saw that her expression was cold and very displeased, so he didn't dare to speak, so he could only stand aside and not speak.
Seeing this, Li Rui had no choice but to continue to shed tears at the Qin family. After a while, the Qin clan eased up, looked at her and looked at her with a very cold look, and asked, "You said that you are pregnant with your husband's child, how can you prove that this child is your husband's?" ”
"This ...... How is this fake? You can ask the master to come over to prove it, this is the flesh and blood of the Lu family, and my sister must not speak with a clear conscience! Li Rui did not have the slightest weakness in the face of this problem, and insisted that this was Lu Zhaoran's child.
Qin Shi looked at Li Rui, snorted coldly, and said, "You are a woman of unknown origin, who keeps saying that it is her husband's outer room, and that you are pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Lu family, how can people believe it?" ”
Old Madam Lu also said coldly: "The Lu family will never admit this child, nor will they let you enter the door, you die of this heart, if you are interested, I can give you a sum of money to let you go far away, otherwise ......"
There is no need to say the following words explicitly, everyone understands the meaning, but Li Rui doesn't seem to care at all, just keeps crying.
But Mrs. Lu had already made up her mind, so she said to Mama Cui: "You go and tell Steward Lu to send people away, I don't want to see her again!" ”
When Li Rui heard this, she was shocked, prostrate on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Old lady, are you trying to force me to death?" If you don't give me an explanation today, I will die in the Lu Mansion, and I want everyone in the world to see that your Lu family is actually bullying people and forcing their own bloodline to death, woo woo......"
Saying that, she didn't care that Mama Cui came to pull her, but she collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, but she didn't see that she was really going to kill herself. Where has Mrs. Lu seen such a shrew in the market, and she has no idea for a while.
Bai Muhibiscus was still very calm, leaned into Mrs. Lu's ear, and said: "At this time, there are still guests outside, it is not appropriate to do it, lock people up first, after today, how to cook is not a matter of grandma's words?" ”
Mrs. Lu reacted, and at this time, she wanted to let people send this woman out, and if she accidentally made her trouble with the guests, the reputation of the Lu family would be ruined.
But Li Rui also reacted immediately, suddenly got up, and ran out while people were unprepared. Old Madam Lu immediately panicked.
Bai Mujin didn't care if he had overstepped, and immediately shouted to the subordinates outside: "Stop the person, don't let her run out of the yard!" ”
The subordinate suddenly saw a figure rushing out, and lost his mind for a while, unable to stop it in time, seeing that Li Rui was about to break through Mrs. Lu's courtyard door and run out, as long as she shouted, it would definitely attract the attention of the guests......
