Lu Shangxuan took away the triumphant smile in his eyes, and said impatiently: "Mother, this is obviously Lianniang's fault, she doesn't abide by the woman's way and doesn't return overnight, do you want to blame me?" ”

However, Mrs. Lu obviously didn't believe it, and asked again and again: "You honestly explain to your mother, does this matter have anything to do with you?" ”

Faced with Mrs. Lu's questioning, Lu Shangxuan just lowered his eyes and didn't say a word.

Angry, Old Madam Lu clenched the crutches in her hand, wiped her tears, and reprimanded: "Confused, confused, son, what have you done, you really want to destroy our entire county palace!" ”

As soon as these words were suppressed, Lu Shangxuan almost opened his mouth, but he remembered what Lu Lianzhi said to him last night.

"If my mother knows that my brother pushed my sister-in-law into the water, I will definitely blame you again, it's better to hide it, and when the matter passes, my mother only has a child like you, and I can't bear to scold you more."

Zhi'er has a point, he must not tell his mother about this now.

Thinking of this, Lu Shangxuan gritted his teeth, raised his head and denied: "Mother, my son has definitely not done anything to harm the reputation of the county palace, if you are not at ease, then the son will go to find Lianniang to come back." ”

After that, Lu Shangxuan was about to go out, so anxious that Mrs. Lu got up and stopped him, and nervously admonished: "We must not make a fuss to everyone, otherwise we will not be able to bear this charge when the Xiangye asks about it!" ”

"Got it, mother."

Lu Shangxuan nodded, thinking in his heart that what Zhi'er said was indeed true.

Before Lu Shangxuan stepped out of the house, a little guy ran straight out of breath, and shouted in his mouth: "I'm back, the young lady is back!" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Lu Shangxuan to help her go out to see the situation.

After she called out a few words, Lu Shangxuan came back to his senses, his eyes were full of an irrepressible sense of panic, and a lot of thin sweat oozed from his forehead in an instant.

At this time, his heart was already turbulent, and he couldn't imagine how Dou Lianyi escaped in that situation last night!

"Son, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing."

Old Madam Lu found that Lu Shangxuan's expression was wrong, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she immediately guessed that her son must be playing tricks behind this.

But now is not the time to settle accounts, she must take out the momentum of the head of the family to settle Lianniang's emotions first.

"Come with me to meet Lian Niang, and don't forget to wipe all your sweat off for me."

"Yes, mother."

However, when Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan wanted to pick up Dou Lianyi, they were stopped outside the courtyard by a slave with a delicate face and a cold voice.

Lu Shangxuan recognized the identity of the other party at once, it was Dou Lianyi's other personal maid Yuzhu, but he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion some time ago.

"Yuzhu, how is Lianniang now, as her husband, I have to go in and see her."

The old lady Lu on the side didn't speak, but she had to go in to see the posture.

Yuzhu coldly refused: "Back to the young master and the old lady, our young lady has just fallen asleep, and it is inconvenient to see people." ”

"What is the inconvenience of seeing people, is it reasonable that she didn't come home all night? Shouldn't she come out and explain? ”

After all, Lu Shangxuan has a ghost in his heart, and the more Dou Lianyi refuses to come out to meet people, the more bottomless he is.

Seeing that Yuzhu was still blocking the gate of the courtyard uninterestingly, Lu Shangxuan waved his hand a little impatiently, signaling the mother-in-law behind him to rush over and pull her away.

Just when Yuzhu was about to stop it, Dou Lianyi's voice came out from inside.

"I don't know when did you know that I didn't return overnight, was it last night, or today?"

She had already changed into the clothes she wore when she was resting, her hair was scattered, and she looked a little tired, but when she raised her eyes to look at Lu Shangxuan, her eyes were still full of mockery.

Lu Shangxuan made a preemptive move, and his face was also full of disappointment.

"Lianniang, what do you mean by that? Do you know how worried I am about you? How can you question me like that? ”

"If my husband found out that I was missing last night, why didn't he send guards to look for me immediately?"

"I ......"

Dou Lianyi interrupted Lu Shangxuan's explanation without hesitation, and threw out another question: "If you only found out that I was missing today, then where were you last night, husband, and why weren't you by my side to protect me?" ”

Lu Shangxuan couldn't answer two questions in a row, in front of so many people, he was questioned so red that his face was flushed, and he was hesitant, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "There are too many people on the Lantern Festival, even if you get separated, it's normal, and I thought that Lianniang you would go back to the house by yourself, but you never came back." ”

Dou Lianyi's face was already covered with a look of mourning, and she complained sadly: "I was pushed into the moat last night, if it wasn't for the rescue of well-wishers, how could I stand here today, husband, instead of caring about me, you blame me everywhere, you are really ruthless!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Dou Lianyi's face was already full of tears, as if she was extremely sad, she didn't even look at Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan, and turned her head directly and went back to the house.

"What, what is this doing?"

Old Madam Lu was confused, she looked at Dou Lianyi who had walked away, and then at her son who had been lowered and had a gloomy expression, she couldn't help but shake her head, and muttered in her heart.

"It's nothing," it took a while for Lu Shangxuan to recover, he changed the topic and said, "By the way, Mother, it's your birthday in two weeks, and I'll let Lian Niang handle it well." ”

"Okay, I hope there won't be any more moths."

Seeing that Lu Shangxuan didn't want to explain, although Mrs. Lu was faintly uneasy in her heart, she didn't say anything more.

Two days later.

"Young lady, winter melon and duck soup is here."

Bai Zhi came to the courtyard with the steaming stew, put it on the stone table, and then said to Dou Lianyi, who was closing his eyes on the rattan chair to recuperate: "Young lady, the young master has been coming to you for the past few days, and said that he had found a doctor with excellent medical skills to show you your body." ”

"You let Yuzhu find a reason to push it," Dou Lianyi's eyes didn't fully open, and he said a little lazily: "I'm afraid that those doctors will show me something wrong." ”

"Got it, young lady," Bai Zhi nodded, and then said: "Young lady, you have ordered you to choose some gifts to send to the 'Wind and Snow Pavilion', the slave maid has already been selected, you can take a look at the list." ”

Hearing 'Fengxue Pavilion', Dou Lianyi immediately opened his eyes, got up and took the gift list with Bai Zhi and looked at it seriously.

In the end, the people who followed him, Bai Zhi knew Dou Lianyi's mind very well.
