Lu Zhan walked fast, and Madam Lan had to trot to keep a distance of ten steps from him.

The wind was blowing, and the wind on the night of the first lunar month was biting cold, but Madam Lan looked at the cold back of the man in front of her, and felt even colder. Since she became Madam Lan, the maid Zhu, the most trusted maid next to Zhu, the master never asked her to come to the front yard again. This time, was there any important advice or...

Thinking that the master might have heard what she said to Zhu, Madam Lan felt like she fell into an ice cave.

She tried hard to remain calm and followed Lu Zhan into the main hall.

Lu Zhan turned around and sat on the chair of the master of the red sandalwood.

Madam Lan didn't dare to look around, she lowered her eyes and stood quietly, waiting for the master to speak first.

Lu Zhan raised his eyes and looked at the maid he once trusted very much.

He was an official of the court. He went out early and came back late. He said a few words to his maids every day. But he was confident in understanding these women. Lu Zhan sold out all those who acted lightly and intended to seduce him. Only Aunt Zhou and Madam Lan were regular and decent from the beginning. Therefore, after Lu Zhan lost his wife, he carried one to become a maid and the other to continue to be a maid. Later, when Zhu entered the door, Lu Zhan was worried that his new maid would not be considerate enough, so he handed over the trusted Madam Lan to his wife.

Lu Zhan still remembered that when he discovered that Zhu was deliberately imitating those noble ladies who were not favored at home and could only rely on noble makeup to support his face, he advised Zhu and told Madam Lan to reason with more reason. After the advice, Madam Zhu was indeed peaceful for a while, and later became cute. He questioned Zhu, but Zhu only knew how to cry and said he didn't want to be laughed at. Lu Zhan thought that Madam Lan was paranoid, and Madam Lan, a servant, could only obey his wife's instructions.

But today Lu Zhan realized that Madam Lan was just a hypocritical disobedience. She agreed in front of him well, but she secretly encouraged her wife to turn into a false makeup that did not conform to her demeanor. How could her wife's soft temper resist Madam Lan's persuasion? Madam Lan actually dared to mislead her wife's daughter-in-law's identity, so what about the concubine's daughter-in-law? The daughter-in-law is the only daughter of Prince Zhuang, the emperor's serious cousin, and the true royal bloodline. Except for the late old princess, who among the officials in the capital dares to despise her daughter-in-law? Without mentioning these, the daughter-in-law is both well-educated, well-behaved and talented. If she really can't get on the table, how could he come to propose marriage for the third son whom he cherishes the most?

My wife was born in the countryside and didn’t understand these things, would Madam Lan not understand?

This foolish slave deliberately wanted to provoke the relationship between them and their husbands.

What I hate most is that he doesn’t know people well and blames his wife for twenty years!

"I know I don't like my wife's heavy makeup, why did my wife want to change it, but you advised her to persevere? How dare you arrange the third wife?"

The man's voice was calm, and Madam Lan's legs became weak. This time she really knelt down. She knew better than anyone else that the calmer the master was when he was angry, the more miserable the person he would be.

When his forehead touched the ground, Madam Lan said in panic that the emergency excuse had been thought of on the road, "Master, you misunderstood. I didn't advise my wife to wear heavy makeup. The fourth girl is right. The wife looks better when she is light makeup. But the wife is the wife of the imperial decree after all, so her makeup should not be too light. I want to persuade her to focus her makeup when she goes out. You can do whatever she wants in the mansion."

The divine slave was so sarcastic. Lu Zhan suddenly didn't want to waste time with her, and shouted: "Zhao Wu."

As soon as the voice fell, a burly man immediately turned around outside the door, which was Lu Zhan's personal bodyguard Zhao Wu. Zhao Wu came to the Lu family at the age of seven and served as a accompanying student for Lu Zhan. The master and servant studied together and practiced martial arts together. Lu Zhan led his troops to the battle. Zhao Wu escorted his left and right. Lu Zhan entered the Ministry of War. He wanted to find an official position for Zhao Wu, but Zhao Wu refused to resign and just wanted to stay in the Lu family.

"master."

Stopped beside Madam Lan like a mountain, Zhao Wu asked for instructions in a deep voice.

Lu Zhan glanced at Madam Lan with expressionless expression, "She has been secretly provoking my relationship with her wife. Take it down to question and answer it within half an hour." The woman's heart was twisted and he disdained to ask in person, and took it out to serve her various tortures. Seeing whether Madam Lan dared to speak lies with her eyes open.

"Don't worry, Master, I will review it as soon as possible." Zhao Wu hated the person who was betrayed the Lord the most in his life, and he knew the past of the master and his wife best. Now he learned that the master and his wife were separated because of Madam Lan. Zhao Wu's eyes shot at Madam Lan was sharper than a knife. He bent down, grabbed Madam Lan's left arm, and pulled it up like a chicken pull.

Madam Lan was frightened and her face was no longer covered in blood. After being with Lu Zhan for so long, Zhao Wu had heard some rumors of listening to people. She could still rely on the master to pity her for many years of love and trust that she had served her for many years. She might be taken away by Zhao Wu. If she told the truth, she would lose half her life.

"Master, I said, I have told you all the instructions, please spare me!" My body had been pulled far away by Zhao Wu. Nanny Lan was not as strong as Zhao Wu, so she tried to fall down, hoping to delay Zhao Wu's footsteps by relying on her body weight. She burst into tears and begged Lu Zhan to have another chance.

Zhao Wu turned around and met the man's cold face. Zhao Wu understood. He held Madam Lan in one hand and covered Madam Lan's mouth with the other, and left with great force. There was a place for punishment for the Shangshu Mansion. Zhao Wu walked vigorously and kicked open a door soon, and took Madam Lan to the wooden shelf by the north wall.

He wanted to tie Madam Lan to the wooden rack and had to free his hand. Madam Lan was trembling with fear, and she still begged him with a glimmer of hope, "Brother Zhao, for the sake of our service with the master for so many years, can you take me to see the master? I didn't provoke my wife, the master really misunderstood me..."

Zhao Wu sneered, tied the hemp rope tightly, then grabbed a piece of gag cloth next to him and stuffed it directly into Madam Lan's mouth, "Is it a misunderstanding? You'll know in a while?" After saying that, he raised an iron whip covered with barbed iron, and came hard on Madam Lan's left leg that was fixed.

Madam Lan's hands and feet were tied, and only her waist could twist. An indescribable severe pain came, and she twitched in pain. Zhao Wu waved the second whip, Madam Lan's legs were shaking like sieve chaff, and the two blood marks were like gullies. Like a thousand needles, she gritted her teeth hard, hoping to divert the pain on her legs, but she lost the energy to control the rest. With a clatter, she was beaten to incontinence...

Zhao Wu was not surprised and continued to fight. In the dark room like a cell, except for the sound of the iron whip breaking through the wind, only Madam Lan was left with whimpering whimpering.

After calling for a quarter of an hour, reviewing for a quarter of an hour, then calling for another quarter of an hour to the limit of being able to bear it. After interrogating again, Zhao Wu threw away the iron whip and finally glanced at the blood-stained Madam Lan, who was dying of blood, he walked to the corner to wash his hands and went to the main hall to reply.

Lu Zhan still maintained his original sitting posture. Seeing Zhao Wu coming, he finally moved, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Wu looked weird, looked at him, lowered his head, and his head was much lower than when he replied, "Master, she, she said that she served you with her aunt back then. She was obviously better than her, but the master chose the aunt. She felt uncomfortable. Later, the master married a wife, and she felt that the wife was not as good as her and was not worthy of you, so she tried every means to persuade the wife to dress up against the master's wishes... My subordinate asked her what benefits she could get when she did this, and she said..."

Lu Zhan Tieqing's face became even heavier, "Say!"

Zhao Wu knelt down, took his leave, and lowered his head and said, "She said she was not upset when she saw her husband, she was happy to see her wife, she was happy to see her wife sad and wronged, and she also said that she didn't want to give her aunt Zhou. As soon as the master went to her aunt's side, she advised her to change her mind, which would reduce your suspicion, so as not to think that she hadn't persuaded her wife, and then encouraged her to wear heavy makeup every now and then."

Lu Zhan's iron fist clenched and made a crackling sound.

What did Madam Lan think she was and treat them like a monkey?

If she can't stand his love with the Zhu couple, why should she? A maid dares to imagine him?

After being missed by a seemingly honest maid for so many years, Lu Zhan felt disgusted, but the one he angered the most was not Madam Lan. He was angry with himself. If he hadn't read the wrong person, he thought that his wife had become vain after seeing the prosperity of the capital, he wouldn't have let Madam Lan play tricks for so many years!

But Lu Zhan was not so angry that he lost his mind. He stared at his subordinates and asked, "Is it sure she is not the same as Aunt Zhou?"

He alienated his wife, but in fact, the one who benefited the most was Mr. Zhou, although Mr. Zhou did not really get some favor.

Zhao Wu shook his head and said seriously: "I have confirmed it again and again. I just mentioned that she wanted to pull her into the water. But when I discovered the clue, Madam Lan did not dare to lie and honestly explained her dirty thoughts."

Lu Zhan nodded. Outsiders thought he favored Aunt Zhou, but Aunt Zhou knew it and couldn't be in a position to collude with Aunt Lan.

"It's done, remember to let her live for a few more hours."

Waving his hand, Lu Zhan signaled his subordinates to take his leave, not wanting to hear anything related to Madam Lan again.

After Zhao Wu left, Lu Zhan closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair. His chest felt like a blockage of sand, which was stuffy and frustrating.

He claimed to be a hero but was fooled by a maid for twenty years!

There seemed to be something leaping in his forehead. Lu Zhan frowned deeply and pressed it hard to try to relieve the recurrence of the headache. When he was old, he couldn't accept it. When he was young, he fought everywhere and was wearing armor and was full of energy. However, the root of the battle wounds that fell at that time emerged when he was old, as if his souls were in this way to collect debts.

"master?"

A familiar voice came from the door. Lu Zhan opened his eyes. In the soft light, Zhu ran in with a cloak embroidered plum blossoms, "Do you have a headache?"

She stopped in front of him, her eyes were worried, her face was filled with a blush that she had just woken up, and she was beautiful and gentle.

Strangely, Lu Zhan's headache gradually eased.

He held Zhu's hand, held his wife to his legs contentedly, and lyed and coaxed her skillfully, "No, it's just a little annoyed. When you were asleep, someone came to Madam Lan's family. Her nephew made a fortune in business and wanted to take her back to enjoy her old age. Madam Lan is the most valued person around you. I don't want to let her go. Madam Lan kowtowed and begged me, and her forehead was broken. I looked at it and sent her out of the house directly. I only had a headache to explain to you."

My wife is so kind. If she knew that Madam Lan was dead, even if Madam Lan blamed her, her wife would probably be uneasy.

Zhu was shocked. She just slept for a while and Madam Lan left?

"I can't bear to leave her?" Lu Zhan smiled, "Why do I send someone to catch her back and continue to serve you?"

Zhu quickly shook his head, looked at the door, and sighed softly, "Forget it, her nephew is filial, and taking her home to enjoy her happiness is a good thing. I can't just hold her by my side just because I can't bear to leave. However, after so many years, she left, I couldn't see her for the last time, and I felt a little uncomfortable." The master and servant relationship for more than 20 years have been together.

Lu Zhan patted her hand, "It's okay, I'll promote one from the people around you. Madam Lan has gone to enjoy her happiness. You should be happy for her."

Zhu nodded, and was about to express his reluctance to Nanny Lan again, his stomach suddenly slurped.

When he met the man's joking gaze, Zhu blushed and whispered to him, "It's all your fault, I have to make trouble." She slept after dinner.

"Blame me, let's go and have a meal with you now." His wife was shy and charming, and Lu Zhan's mood improved completely and couldn't help but kiss her.

He was powerless to change in the past, but fortunately he still had the opportunity to make up for it. He would accompany his wife in the next twenty years or even longer.

~

After a short day of rest, Lu Zhan went to the palace to attend court early on before dawn the next day.

Mr. Lu is going there too. Lu Rong is blind and has no errands, so he can sleep comfortably. It’s dawn and get up with Xiao.

Lu Mingyu was anxious to go to his grandmother's place to inquire about the situation. He got up two quarters of an hour earlier than usual, so he dressed up and came to his parents to pay his respects first.

Mrs. Xiao was still dressing up. When she saw her daughter coming in, she asked with a hilarious question: "Why didn't A Nuan sleep for a long time?"

"I miss my mother." Lu Mingyu acted coquettishly, walked to the dressing table, and looked at her mother's outfit with interest, "Is she going out today?"

If a woman goes out or not, she can tell from the makeup and jewelry that day.

Xiao nodded and dressed up. She turned to her daughter and held her little shoulder and sighed: "When you were unconscious, my mother went to Anguo Temple to burn incense. I beg the Bodhisattva for blessing. Now A Nuan has recovered from illness. I will take you to fulfill her wish."

It was cold and Lu Mingyu didn't want to go, but she was resurrected from the dead, and there should be the blessing of the Buddha. If she really deserves to worship, she looked very happy.

Xiao raised his chin to the other side of the bed, winking his daughter.

The mother and daughter were in harmony, and Lu Mingyu understood it. She left her mother and ran to the bed with a smile, asking the man who was sitting there listening to the opera, "Dad, do you go with us too? Our family of three hasn't gone out together for a long time." Because of her eyes, her father didn't like to go out easily, but Lu Mingyu thought that even if she couldn't see the scenery, she would feel different. She was depressed in her previous life and was deeply touched by this.

Lu Rong showed a dilemma. No matter where he went, he had to use a blind stick, which would definitely attract attention.

"Dad, the Bodhisattva bless me with peace and safety. Mom has made up with you. Isn't it worth your incense and thank you?" Lu Mingyu turned around and looked at his mother and said with a smile.

Xiao glared at his daughter.

There was a hint of warm smile on Lu Rong's fair and handsome face, and he unconsciously looked at his wife, "Okay, let's go together."
