Lu family.
I heard that all the daughters-in-law who came to congratulate her were gone, Lu Zhan rubbed his hands and strode to see his wife.
"Master." The maids in Ning'an Hall were all happy and their voices seemed to be laughing.
Lu Zhan looked faint and waved his hand and said, "Go down."
The maids of all sizes quickly became sensible as they were.
Lu Zhan stood under the eaves of the corridor with his hands in his arms, stood silently for a while before entering the inner room. Zhu had long heard the movement outside. Because of his shyness, he lay in the side, revealing his slim figure as a young woman. While walking to the bed, Lu Zhan looked at his wife secretly, and couldn't help but remember his sexual intercourse in the past two months.
Indeed, it's a little more frequent than before...
It is a happy event to have a child in old age, but when it is heard, it is inevitable that he will be teased by his colleagues. Lu Zhan sat on the edge of the bed in a complicated mood, his eyes paused on his wife's waist for a while. When he raised his eyes, he saw his wife looking at him with a red face, with her eyes sober.
"It's all your fault." Zhu said shyly and timidly, "I'm so old, and I won't make anyone laugh at me if it's heard."
The wife was also afraid of being laughed at. The little awkward feeling in Lu Zhan's heart suddenly disappeared. He held his wife's hand and pretended to be serious: "We are harmonious, you are still young, it's normal to get pregnant and have children. Who would joke? They will only be jealous of your favor."
Zhu's face turned redder and he spat.
Lu Zhan laughed and turned the person around. He gently touched his wife's lower abdomen that had not yet been bulging with his big hand. His eyes gradually became soft. He looked at Zhu and said, "When you were pregnant with Ayun, I was not good enough to you. This time I happened to be a compensation. You can take care of your baby with peace of mind. All other chores will be handed over to the eldest daughter-in-law. I will accompany you more when I come back from the palace."
Zhu nodded obediently and held his hand and whispered, "I want to have another son." The eldest son was blind and had no errands. Zhu was worried that his granddaughter would grow up, and others disliked his granddaughter without his father's care, so he would just give birth to a biological uncle.
Lu Zhan saw through his wife's stupid thoughts at a glance and said helplessly: "It's the same for having children. Don't think about it. A Nuan has me to support him, and the prince and grandfather. Only she can choose someone else's share. No one can pick her. Don't forget that the emperor has no daughter now. That time A Nuan entered the palace and called out the emperor's uncle. The emperor liked it so much. Every time there was a lively palace in the palace, they would ask them to enter the palace. This honor is not the same for other daughters."
Zhu's ears are soft, and she believes whatever others say. Since her granddaughter has a bright future, Zhu also touched her belly and felt that it was good to have a baby.
"Master, Madam, Third Master and the others are here to pay their respects."
When the voice came in, Zhu quickly sat up, tidied up his clothes, and followed Lu Zhan to the main hall to wait.
"Grandma, my mother said you were going to give birth to an aunt and uncle for me again, is that true?" Lu Mingyu threw away her parents and ran over first. She was small in body, and she became more and more accustomed to being a child in front of her elders. Seeing her grandfather and grandmother sitting upright on the chair of the Master Rose Tan, she ran to her grandmother with a smile, looking innocent.
Zhu hugged his granddaughter, smiling and silent.
Lu Rong and Xiao and his wife followed. Zhu looked at Zhilan's jade-like son, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. After his son's eyes were blind, no one liked to pay attention to him. The mother-son relationship gradually became colder. Zhu wanted to care about his son, but he didn't know how to get close. He could only worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Zhu really wanted to know what his son thought of her. Now that she is giving birth again, will his son feel that his mother doesn’t like him enough?
When she saw Zhu's complicated eyes, Xiao suddenly felt very sympathetic to her mother-in-law. She was closest to Lu Rong and knew Lu Rong the best. She was a man who easily refused to let people know his thoughts. She liked to sit alone in the room and walk at the garden pavilion of three bedrooms at most. But Xiao could also understand Lu Rong's thoughts. She was blind and could not see anything, the worries on her mother's face, and she could not see her daughter staring at him. She couldn't even take good care of herself. How could she walk out of the darkness and care about others?
"Mom, when my husband heard about your good news, he immediately took us back, and he didn't even have to clean up the cage." Xiao sat down at his mother-in-law's head and said softly, "On the road, he kept asking A Nuan not to rush to you without moving, and asked me to bring A Nuan over to talk to you more, for fear that you will be bored."
Lu Mingyu pursed her lips and held back her smile. Her father would not say such words. My mother's mouth was so coincidental.
Zhu didn't know, but was so happy when he heard this. He hugged Lu Mingyu and said to his son: "We A Nuan are the most obedient. We know the right way to do everything. Third brother, don't worry." He felt sweet in his heart. Unexpectedly, his son looked at Leng Qingqing and cared about her so much.
Lu Rong would not say sweet words to his mother, but he was not so stupid that he exposed his wife's kind lie. He smiled and said, "Mom, take care of her baby. If you have anything to do, tell A Nuan Niang, don't be tired."
Zhu nodded repeatedly. Lu Zhan looked at his son inquiringly, but he felt that his son had lived outside for a while and seemed to be much more cheerful. He used to be like a lonely and cold bamboo, but now the bamboo is completely renewed and full of vitality. But he was surprised that Lu Zhan could not think of the reason.
After visiting, the family of three returned to the third room and did not mention Xiao's pregnancy, because Xiao hoped to be more disconnected with his mother-in-law.
But the child in her belly was obviously a person who liked to show off. After three months of the day, Xiao reacted and suddenly vomited when she woke up early and washed up. There was no way to hide it. Lu Rong asked the servant to hire a doctor to take the pulse. He was indeed happy. He said that Xiao had been pregnant for more than a month. The couple secretly calculated that the day should be the rebirth of his daughter, who made up the pregnancy on the night of the two of them. The most frequent that day...
The good news came to Lu Zhan and his wife. The couple looked at each other in a happy mood. The young couple was energetic and no one would gossip when they were pregnant. When they were pregnant, they got pregnant and even collided with their daughter-in-law... For this reason, Zhu complained about Lu Zhan several times. Lu Zhan started to go out early and come back late, trying not to meet his son, for fear of embarrassment.
He didn't want to see his son, and Lu Rong didn't want to "see" him, and he stayed by his wife every day. When he was pregnant with his wife, the couple had a better relationship. In addition, his eyes were bright and bright, Lu Rong no longer minded the inconvenience caused by eye disease. He used to be unwilling to walk on the wall, but now he was in a mess and could laugh it off.
"Xianxian, A Nuan said that the plum blossoms on her side were in bloom, so I'll accompany you to go shopping?" After breakfast, his daughter went to Tongyintang to study. Lu Rong suggested warmly. What should pregnant women pay attention to? He knows what they have already been a father, but he missed a lot of things because of his face before, and this time he wanted to make up for it.
"Okay." It was rare for her husband to have Yaxing to accompany her to appreciate the plum blossoms, so Xiao of course agreed happily.
So Xiao took her husband's arm and the couple walked towards their daughter's yard like a leisurely walk. They walked around casually, while Xiao only took Qiuyue to serve her.
After the master left, Bitan found Madam Li, who was newly promoted by Xiao this year, and said: "Madam, I went to the eldest lady's place to do the job yesterday, and the earrings seemed to have fallen on the way. While the eldest lady is not here, I want to go and look for it and come back at most two quarters of an hour. Otherwise, I will be afraid of being picked up by someone else when I go tonight."
Madam Li is almost fifty years old and is very amiable. She complains intimately: "I'm still frustrated with my wife for so long. How can my wife let you take care of jewelry in the future? Go quickly and look carefully, and don't take advantage of outsiders."
"Hey!" The nanny was ready to speak, and Bitan went there happily.
The Lu family's garden is not small. Bitan is walking around and looking around, as if she is really looking for earrings. But halfway through, she suddenly turned around and headed to the rockery. In early March, the grass and trees in the capital had not yet fully recovered, and no one could see clearly wherever they saw. When they came to the rockery, Bitan continued to pretend to be looking for something, but in fact, they observed the surroundings repeatedly and confirmed that there was no one, so they slipped in.
The rockery was built with a winding and rugged mountain, with ups and downs. Time was limited, Bitan went directly to the middle of the rockery, and opened a piece of rock, and found a flat piece of stone inside. She had an agreement with the man to carve letters here every ten days. When the wife was pregnant these ten days, it was even more impossible for the man to break the appointment.
Take out the stone slabs, Bitan lowers his head to check the lettering on it.
"At the end of the month, see you in the old place."
Bitan has a clear idea. Every month, people will have holidays. It is dangerous to meet in the mansion, and it is safest to be outside.
After reading it, Bitan used his sleeve to wipe off the charcoal characters from the ink stone tablets, wiped them cleanly, put them back, and put them back to seal the small hole. After busyness, he quickly rushed to the third room. After Bitan's figure disappeared, a little maid in green clothes continued to wait in the dark, and confirmed that there was no one in the rockery, so he ran over secretly.

Lu Rong and his wife came back after enjoying the plum blossoms for a while. When they entered the door, Xiao received the look handed to her by Madam Li.
"I'm a little tired and want to lie down for a while. You go to Tongyin Hall to have a walk. I'm afraid that A Nuan won't listen to the teacher's lectures." Xiao sat on the couch of Huanglimu Concubine Huang and said to her husband with a smile. Her daughter is back from being reborn and can be said to be proficient in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she is only seven years old on the surface, and she must study with her sisters and behave like a good person.
Lu Rong nodded and leaned on a blind stick to "supervise" his daughter's homework.
After her husband left, Xiao lay down comfortably, closed her eyes and said lazily: "Madam, my legs are a little sore, please help me rub them."
Madam Li responded and turned around and ordered Qiuyue, Bitan: "Madam, you need to rest, you can go outside."
The two maids retreated obediently without doubting him.
Madam Li looked at the curtains and knelt in front of the couch. She really helped Xiao rub her legs. After rubbing her left leg, she said softly: "Madam, Bitan just lied that she went to the garden to find the earrings left yesterday. Halfway through, she turned into the rockery and stayed in it for a few words. There was no one else in the rockery. Yingge searched there for several times, but found no clues, and could not guess what Bitan did."
Xiao slowly opened his eyes, with doubts in his eyes.
The daughter said that she committed suicide by jumping into the lake in her previous life. Xiao knew very well that she was not that kind of person. Since she would not take the initiative to seek death, the only Bitan that accompanied her at that time was worth noting. Bitan was just a maid, and Xiao could easily get rid of it. But if her death was really related to Bitan, Xiao wanted to find out why Bitan wanted to harm her and whether Bitan had any accomplices in this huge Shangshu Mansion.
"She is sneaky and there must be something weird. I continue to send someone to stare at her, not afraid that she will not show her flaws."
With his eyes turned out to the window, Xiao said calmly.
Madam Li Zheng pointed out. Although she didn't know why the lady suddenly suspected Bitan, Bitan's actions today just proved that her wife was suspicious, so she would just follow her wife's instructions to do things.
Xiao was not sleepy. After talking about the secret, she thought about her daughter. Xiao stood up again and led Qiuyue to Tongyin Hall. When she arrived at the place, she saw her husband standing outside the window, facing outward, smiling with his lips, and listening intently. The husband judged whether his daughter was studying well with his ears. Xiao leaned over and looked in quietly.
In the school, Lu Mingyugang finished reciting an article, sat upright and listened carefully to the female teacher's explanation, and was very well-behaved.
Xiao took a proud look, looked away, and whispered to her husband: "It would be great if the second child was as good as A Nuan."
Lu Rong instinctively looked at his wife's lower abdomen, and when he lowered his head, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he saw a light green color in a trance.
Unfortunately, the next moment, darkness returned to my eyes.
Lu Rong's lips moved, and finally suppressed the surprise.
