Chapter 16: Why

The ancestral hall was heavy, and after kneeling for a few hours, Lu Anran dragged his tired body back to the courtyard.

The maid Chunmiao boiled hot water, soaked some medicinal powder in it, and took a clean cloth to warm Lu Anran's knees.

The water vapor was steaming, and Lu Anran's soul had drifted away.

After that, Lu Xun didn't say anything more, just took Lu Anran out of the ancestral hall and handed it to Chunmiao to let her take care of Miss.

As before, mother and medical skills are like two taboos in Lu Xun's eyes, and no one can mention them.

Everyone in Mengzhou knows that Lu Xun is obsessed with his deceased wife, so much so that Mrs. Lu has tried to renew him several times, but he has vetoed it.

Although Lu Xun is modest and gentle, after all, he is the head of the Lu family, the master of Mengdu, if he is unwilling, no one can force him, including the old lady.

In the face of other things, Lu Xun gave Mrs. Lu enough rights, only this one, stick to her own opinions, no one can shake it.

However, who can know that the so-called deceased wife, at the time of her death, was not the county guard wife that Lu Xun was marrying, and she did not enter the ancestral land of the Lu family after her death, but was buried in a picturesque scenic spot in Mengdu County.

She Lu Anran, the noble lady in the world, is actually an illegitimate daughter who is unsightly.

Regarding his mother's affairs, the Lu family was silent, because Mrs. Lu didn't like it.

Lu Anran only knew that Lu Xun and his mother were in love deeply, but because of his mother's bad background, Mrs. Lu had already set a yin family daughter for Lu Xun at that time, who knew that Lu Xun would directly bring back an illegitimate daughter later.

At that time, the Lu family had already begun to decline, and the Yin family was in the limelight, and Mrs. Lu wanted to take advantage of the wind of the Yin family to burn the Lu family, a family that had been dying for a hundred years.

Pity......

People are not as good as heaven.

Not long after Lu Xun brought Lu Anran back, the woman who had never had the opportunity to be Mrs. Lu fell seriously ill and died, leaving an orphan girl and becoming the eldest lady of the Lu family.

I heard that she was not terminally ill originally, but she prescribed herself two pairs of medicines, and the more she ate, the worse she became, and in the end she couldn't be saved.

With this incident in the past, from then on, Lu Xun strictly forbade Lu Anran to study medicine.

Later, the Lu family released the words that Lu Xun and the woman had actually become married outside, so the Yin family's family affairs could only be stopped, and the Lu family lost a lot of treasures for this, and Mrs. Lu fainted several times in heartache.

It's not just for those rare things, but also because he can't marry the Yin family completely, but he has a grudge.

Therefore, it is rare that Mrs. Lu can have a good face for Lu Anran.

After dressing it up, Chunmiao put down Lu Anran's trouser leg, took a wool blanket to help her cover her leg, and just when the stewed soup was ready, she served a bowl.

"Miss, first drink the soup to warm up your body, such a snowy cold day old lady actually let you kneel in the ancestral hall, it's really ruthless." Chunae pursed her lips and lowered her voice and chattered in a dissatisfied tone.

Winter bamboo shoots and yam bone broth, the meat is stewed very badly, the umami of winter bamboo shoots is all hooked out, mixed in the soup, sucked a bite, warm to the heart and lungs, lips and teeth fragrant.

Chunmiao picked up the basin of water and opened the room, splashed the water in the courtyard, and a little fine snow drifted in and landed on Lu Anran's hair.

"It's starting to snow again." After Chunmiao came in, she patted her body and walked over to cut the candle with scissors.

After drinking a bowl of soup, Lu Anran put the bowl back.

Chunmiao saw it and asked, "Miss is eating now or waiting?" ”

"Wait a minute, I can't eat the soup right now."

Chunmiao nodded in response, and her mouth didn't stop for a moment, "It's a winter visit today, the slave maid brought some raw mutton dumplings from the big kitchen, but you didn't hear it, Miss, just a few dumplings they still said." ”

"What did you say?" Lu Anran leaned back, took a book and opened it, and asked casually.
