Chapter 69: Premeditation
Lu Mingke chased him to the courtyard and asked Shen Qingrong to let go of Lu Xingyuan.
Shen Qingrong didn't let go, and his crazy appearance scared Lu Xingyuan to cry.
Seeing that the situation was wrong, the subordinates hurriedly went to report to Shen Changze and Shen's mother.
Shen's mother and Shen Changze rushed over, and when they learned that Lu Mingke was going to reconcile with Shen Qingrong, they were shocked.
"Uncle, no. If there is any fault in Qingrong, it is enough to reprimand and punish him. Xingyuan is still so young, he can't live without his mother. Shen's mother persuaded her bitterly.
Shen Changze also said: "Mingke, if there is something to sit down and discuss and solve." Qingrong is a little arrogant, and let her correct it later. ”
"Yes, correct, let's go into the house and say." Mother Shen pulled Shen Qingrong to the house and handed Lu Xingyuan over to the maid to take care of.
Lu Mingke pursed his lips tightly and followed silently.
A few people went to the house and sat down, and the people were dismissed.
Lu Mingke said in a deep voice: "Since returning to Shangjing, she has been silent in her words and deeds many times, ignoring my reminders and warnings as if they were the wind on a deaf ear. During the birthday banquet, he was even more daring, and everyone who did not abide by women's morals and had private meetings with others was well known. ”
"That's it, I also tolerated it again and again for Xingyuan's sake, and wanted to keep her decent. But she became more and more arrogant, and today she ran to make trouble again, slamming my Lu family's face to the ground and trampling on it. ”
"If my father and mother knew what she had done, they would definitely divorce her directly, and it would never be as simple as leaving."
Shen Mu and Shen Changze were shocked when they heard this, and understood that Lu Mingke and Li were serious, not a momentary anger.
And the Lu family is reasonable and courteous, and the family education is very strict, and they have also heard of it.
Mother Shen knew that she was at a loss, so she could only say kindly: "Qingrong is indeed wrong, but for the sake of Xingyuan, be a little more lenient." ”
Lu Mingke asked directly: "How can I be forgiving?"
Mother Shen said cheekily: "Don't divorce, leave her as a wife, and punish her as much as you want." ”
Lu Mingke didn't speak, as if he was considering.
Shen's mother gave Shen Changze a look and motioned for him to say something good.
Shen Changze's thick eyebrows frowned, glanced at Shen Qingrong, whose eyes were red from crying, and said stiffly: "I know that Qingrong has made an intolerable mistake, but in the love between Xingyuan and the two families, can you forgive her this time." ”
"If she doesn't repent and reoffends, she won't have more than half a word to abandon and leave the Shen family."
Lu Mingke's brows furrowed, as if he had been persuaded to loosen a little.
When Shen's mother saw it, she hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "As long as you don't get along, you can do anything." ”
Shen Qingrong went crazy at the birthday banquet, and everyone in Shangjing knew that she did not abide by women's morals. If you are separated and return home, let alone remarry, you will be pointed out and spurned when you go out.
It is the only way for Shen Qingrong to live, and the only way to stay away from Shangjing is to stay away.
And the Lu family is undoubtedly the best destination.
"Really? What if I want to marry a wife?" Lu Mingke said.
Shen Qingrong raised his head violently and stared at Lu Mingke with resentment.
She wanted to say she didn't agree, but she didn't dare.
After sharing the same bed for four years, Shen Qingrong knows Lu Mingke's temperament. He did not consult, but informed.
If the Shen family does not agree, then Lu Mingke will remarry after leaving.
In short, this Su Rou, Lu Mingke is married.
"This ......" Shen Mu and Shen Changze glanced at each other, a little caught off guard.
Aren't they talking about peace and departure? Why did it get to the flat wife again?
Or did Lu Mingke premeditate?
After thinking for a moment, Shen's mother discussed: "If my uncle falls in love with that girl, would it be good to accept her as a concubine?" Qingrong will not compete with it. ”
One house and two wives, the previous wife is a joke, and Shen Qingrong will have no face to show in the future.
The most important thing for the wife of a nobleman is not the favor of her husband, but her dignity.
Lu Mingke sneered: "If the concubine can be sent away, why would the eldest brother have a wife?"
Shen's mother, who was blocked by a word, was speechless.
Shen Changze understood at this time that Lu Mingke had a plan.
"If you marry a flat wife, how will the Lu family treat Qingrong?" Shen Changze asked.
Lu Mingke groaned: "As long as she keeps to herself, the matter of going to Beijing will not spread to Pingyang, and she can still be honored to be Mrs. Lu." ”
"If she doesn't change her temperament, she will find a house to put her under house arrest to ensure the peace and dignity of the Lu family."
is also a man, Shen Changze understands that Lu Mingke has made the biggest concession, and he is impeccable.
"Qingrong, you can choose for yourself." Shen Changze looked at Shen Qingrong.
They are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and if she leaves home, he will raise her for the rest of her life.
"I am Xingyuan's mother, and no one can separate me from him." Shen Qingrong gritted his teeth and had already made a choice.
Shen Changze took a deep breath and advised: "In this case, after returning to Pingyang, you will keep to yourself, and teach the stars to live far beyond your own life, don't think about anything else." ”
"If you make a mistake again, you will be left to the Lu family."
"Qingrong, remember your eldest brother's words, don't annoy your uncle again." Shen's mother also advised.
Lu Mingke didn't want to listen to them say these high-sounding words, so he got up and said, "The day after tomorrow, we will leave for Pingyang, and if my mother and eldest brother have anything to say, let's say it as soon as possible." ”
After the words fell, Lu Mingke walked out of the house.
Shen Qingrong owed Jiang Shu a dowry, and he had to go to the money village to redeem the silver and pay it back.
Looking at Lu Mingke's ruthless departure, Shen Qingrong burst into tears like rain, crying uncontrollably in front of Shen's mother and Shen Changze.
Shen's mother was distressed, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.
Shen Changze pinched his eyebrows irritably, and coaxed patiently.
Finally, Shen Qingrong cried enough, his mind was clear, and he listened carefully to Shen Changze's instructions.
"After returning to Pingyang, you can do it yourself, the eldest brother can't protect you."
Mother Shen wiped her tears and said, "Don't blame your eldest brother, it's not easy for him to support the Hou Mansion." Pingyang is high and the emperor is far away, and the Lu family is powerful, and he can't reach it. ”
Finally, Shen's mother sighed: "Before leaving, go and see your grandmother, since the birthday banquet was provoked and fainted one after another, she couldn't afford to be sick." I don't know when you'll come back next time, but it's the last time you can't say. ”
Shen Qingrong nodded.
The next day, Lu Mingke gathered all the money and went to Jiang's house with Shen Changze's IOU.
Jiang Shu received it in person.
"Miss Jiang is right." Lu Mingke handed the IOU to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu glanced at the IOU written by Shen Changze, glanced at the eight-mouth mahogany box that was opened, and said with a warm smile: "I believe in Lu Gongzi's personality." ”
Lu Mingke's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he admired Jiang Shu more and more, and said sincerely: "If Miss Jiang goes to Pingyang in the future, she must inform Lu, and I will be entertained." ”
Jiang Shu said with a smile: "Pingyang is the territory of the Lu family, if I go, I won't say it, and I won't be able to hide it from Lu Gongzi's eyes." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Jiang Shu personally sent Lu Mingke out of the house.
At this time, the two of them didn't know that their casual joke would come true.
Early the next morning, Lu Mingke and Shen Qingrong boarded the Lu family's ship and returned to Pingyang with different thoughts.
After Shen Changze sent them home, he saw that Shen Changhuai had also prepared a carriage to return to Hengzhou.
After the brothers said goodbye, Shen Changhuai left in a car.
Shen Changze walked into the mansion, the subordinates were listless, Shen's mother sighed and complained, and the atmosphere in the mansion was silent and depressing.
The autumn wind blows down the osmanthus flowers, and it is deserted and lonely.
Shen Changze didn't understand, but Jiang Shu was missing, why did the Hou Mansion seem to have lost its backbone?
