Chapter 107: Escaped 1 calamity
Soon everyone who should leave had left, leaving only the three of them.
Lu Zhan looked at the mess in the yard and said, "Madam, how can you live in such a remote place? I have asked people to clean up the best yard in the mansion, and you can move in later.
And Shuang'er, she has already divorced the Jing family. It's not safe for her to live outside anymore, so let's move in together.
Although she is no longer the wife of Marquis Jingyang, she is still the legitimate daughter of our Lu family.
All treatment will still be in accordance with our family’s.”
Lin didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Zhan, but when she heard that he was willing to let his daughter move back home, she couldn't help but said with red eyes: "Really, are you really willing to let Shuang'er come home to live?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhan frowned and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? This is Shuang'er's home. Why wouldn't I want her to come back and live here?"
When Lin heard this, she laughed immediately, because Lu Zhan had never mentioned this matter before. She always thought that Lu Zhan felt that it was shameful for her daughter to get divorced and was unwilling to let her come back.
It turned out that she was overthinking.
Lin wiped her tears and said, "Shuang'er, mother will ask someone to clean up the yard for you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chenshuang quickly stopped him and said, "Mom, no need, I don't live at home.
I have a place to live, and the Queen Mother has also rewarded her daughter with a house, so I won’t move back for the time being.”
Hearing this, Lin said disapprovingly, "How can that be possible? It's not safe for you to live outside alone. What if someone from Jingyang Marquis's Mansion comes to trouble you?"
Lu Chenshuang finally had two days of peace and quiet, and she didn't want to be involved in the harem struggles in the Lu family again.
So Lu Chenshuang had to persuade Lin with all her might before she agreed that she could live outside, but she must have her own yard at home, and she had to go back home to live for a few days every month.
Seeing Lin's attitude, Lu Chenshuang knew that she loved her daughter dearly, so she had no choice but to agree.
Lu Zhan also had a lot of questions to ask Lu Chenshuang, so he asked the servants to serve tea and asked Lu Chenshuang to go into the house with him to talk slowly.
Since he wanted to hear Lu Chenshuang's words, he naturally had to say it. As the saying goes, the crying child gets the milk.
Before she came, the original owner lived such a miserable life and even lost her life. As her father, Lu Zhan must know about this.
Lu Zhan listened to Lu Chenshuang's account of her experiences over the past three years and slammed the table angrily, saying, "Madam Tai, you vicious woman! Jing Zhaoyan, that brat, is really going too far.
Don't worry, Shuang'er, sooner or later your father will seek justice for you."
Lu Chenshuang was somewhat moved when she heard this, and then she said, "I appreciate Dad's kindness, but Dad has just arrived in Beijing and doesn't know much about the situation there, so it's better not to make enemies.
It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, there is no need to rush. "
For Lu Chenshuang, she would take revenge on the spot.
Although the original owner had a miserable life, she had never suffered any grievances in Marquis Jingyang's Mansion.
But it’s better not to tell Lu Zhan about these things.
Because Lu Chenshuang's yard had not been decorated yet, Lu Chenshuang did not stay at the Lu Mansion that day.
The next day, someone really submitted a memorial to impeach Lu Zhan.
It was said that he favored his concubine over his wife, accepted bribes and gifts on a large scale, and was unfit to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The emperor's face immediately turned dark. Lu Zhan was slapping him in the face.
Fortunately, after Lu Chenshuang's reminder yesterday, Lu Zhan was well prepared.
He stepped forward, knelt down respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me and allow me to explain myself.
Yesterday, when I went to the palace to see the emperor, he was not at home.
The concubine in the house took the initiative to accept the gifts sent by the ministers.
After my wife learned about this, she severely punished the concubine and had the gifts from all the gentlemen returned.
This is a matter of inconsideration on my part, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
The emperor smiled when he heard this.
Then he asked, "Is what Lord Lu said true?"
Lu Zhan quickly replied: "Every word I said is true, please investigate it carefully, Your Majesty."
The emperor glanced at the censor and said, "It seems that the information from the censorate is not comprehensive enough. You should be more careful in your work in the future. Don't bring things to me before you have figured out the situation clearly."
The censor who made the report responded tremblingly, while secretly cursing Lu Zhan as an old fox.
The emperor looked at Lu Zhan again and said, "My dear Lu, please get up. You really have a good wife.
When you have made achievements in the Ministry of Revenue, I will reward your wife with an imperial decree.
Don’t let me down.”
This sentence is an affirmation of Lu Zhan and also a warning to him.
Lu Zhan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly thanked the emperor.
I have finally passed this stage. No matter what, I have to thank my daughter.
After the court session, Lu Zhan unexpectedly met Mu Hansu.
Lu Zhan naturally wanted to greet him, but Mu Hansu just stared at him without saying anything.
The powerful aura oppressed Lu Zhan so much that he couldn't even raise his head.
It was not until he was sweating profusely that Mu Hansu spoke: “Lord Lu should be thankful that he has a good daughter.
Let me remind you that favoring a concubine over destroying a wife is the worst thing to do."
When Lu Zhan heard this, he was so scared that he nodded repeatedly. He felt that Mu Hansu's oppression was stronger than that of the emperor.
Mu Hansu didn't stay long. He left after he finished speaking, as if he was just passing by to remind him.
But Lu Zhan always felt that it was not that simple, but it was not realistic to say that the King of War came to remind him on purpose.
After all, how could a figure like Prince Zhan take a mere third-rank official like him seriously?
Lu Chenshuang returned to her house on East Street.
She felt that there was no need for her to interfere in the affairs of the Lu Mansion anymore.
So after a good sleep, Lu Chenshuang went into the pharmacy.
Lin was suffering from acclimatization and caught a cold, so Lu Chenshuang prescribed her some medicine, hoping that she would get better soon.
After Lu Chenshuang prepared the medicine, she called Guyu and told him, "Go to the Lu residence and give the medicine to Madam. Here are the instructions for taking it."
Upon hearing this, Guyu quickly agreed.
Lu Chenshuang thought about it and took out two bottles of health-preserving pills and two bottles of beauty-preserving pills and handed them to Guyu, asking her to take them to Lin's.
When people reach middle age, especially women, no one will not care about their body and appearance, and Lin is no exception.
Lu Chenshuang was just about to go to Baicaotang to take a look, but the servant at the door brought her a letter.
When Lu Chenshuang opened it, she saw a note inside, asking her to go horseback riding. The signature below was Mu Hansu.
Lu Chenshuang hasn't seen Mu Hansu since the last time she met him at the Princess's Mansion.
I didn't expect that he would ask me to go horseback riding.
Lu Chenshuang had met him a few times, but it was not realistic to say that their relationship was good enough to go horseback riding together.
But since the letter was delivered to her door, she couldn't help but give Mu Hansu this face, because Mu Hansu had helped him time and time again.
The most important thing is that this guy is good-looking. It is a pleasure to ride a horse with such a person.
