Shen Lansui had a gut feeling that something was wrong, and her eyelids started to twitch as soon as she came in.
She couldn't help but press it.
When Lu Jingzhi saw this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? But it's windy outside and sand has entered?"
Shen Lansui nodded, "It's okay, you'll be fine in a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xingyue held her hand and pushed her to sit down on a chair on the side.
"Father, madam, why did you call us here?"
Duke Rong Guo was also used to his nondescript name, so he nodded and said, "Everyone, please sit down."
Then he looked at the eldest lady and said with a kind face: "Lan Sui's birthday is in a few days. You and your mother had some disagreements before and had some misunderstandings that have not been resolved. Now we just take this opportunity to have a good talk together. "
Shen Lansui raised her eyebrows. The discord was indeed a discord, but a misunderstanding... was it really a misunderstanding?
She said nothing, her eyes fell on the eldest lady, wanting to see what she wanted to do.
The eldest lady smiled apologetically after hearing this, "My attitude towards Lan Sui and Lao San was indeed a bit harsh before. It has nothing to do with Lan Sui and Lao San. It was because I didn't think about something clearly. Now I have thought about it. I’m here to apologize to you.”
Shen Lansui and Lu Xingyue looked at each other in surprise.
The eldest lady had already stood up and bowed to them. Duke Rong Guo raised his hand to stop them, but when he didn't stop him, the eldest lady actually bowed.
Duke Rong Guo immediately looked at Shen Lansui and the others.
Shen Lansui immediately stood up and quickly dodged the salute. Lu Xingyue also dodged.
"What are you doing, madam? Lan Sui really can't bear it. How can there be any reason to ask the elders to salute? If word spreads, Lan Sui will be scolded in the spine!"
She had supplemented her time with storybooks and folklore books.
I have thoroughly understood the customs and rules here. In ancient times, no matter which dynasty it was, filial piety was the most important. Even the royal family could not avoid these two words.
If you are labeled as "unfilial", your innocence becomes guilty.
Madam, her heart is to be killed.
"Mom, you are too serious. How can a family have an overnight feud?" Lu Jingzhi quickly smoothed things over and stood up to help the eldest lady.
The eldest lady said with some embarrassment: "I originally wanted to apologize to you, but I didn't think too much about it."
Seeing her blushing face, Duke Rong Guo quickly glared at Lu Xingyue and his wife, "Your mother has expressed her stance, what about you?"
Shen Lansui felt unhappy. Duke Rong Guo was really kind to the eldest lady. As a husband, he was indeed good, but as a father, he was still a little behind.
"We -" As soon as Shen Lansui started speaking, a figure appeared in front of his eyes.
Lu Xingyue stood in front of her and looked directly at Duke Rong Guo and asked: "Forgiveness should have a specific matter. I wonder what the eldest lady is talking about? Since we want to untie the grudge, why not talk about it openly so that we can get it done?" It’s clear that my son and Lan Sui are on the same page, and they really don’t know what the eldest lady is talking about, so how can they express their opinions?”
Duke Rong Guo frowned, and the atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.
Shen Lansui quietly pulled off Lu Xingyue's sleeve. Lu Xingyue looked at the faint black anger between Duke Rong's eyebrows and knew that this was a sign of anger. He accepted it and said, "We also understand what the eldest lady means. It's just a disagreement." This kind of thing will inevitably happen under the same roof. Lan Sui and I live in Pinglan Courtyard and will go out as little as possible. I also ask Madam to stay less involved in the affairs of Pinglan Courtyard. We will live in peace and harmony and we will all be happy."
Saying this, he didn't give Duke Rong Guo a chance to react. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Duke Rong Guo couldn't get out his anger, so he had no choice.
Lu Mingwan couldn't see it, he slapped the armrest and stood up and said angrily: "It's like no one cares about you, Lu Xingyue, don't be ignorant and slap your nose on your face!"
Lu Jingzhi said nothing. He looked at this and then that, and decided to remain silent.
Zhou Mengli was even more afraid to say anything. She had heard Shen Lansui say before that their relationship with the eldest lady was normal, and she thought it could be more normal, but she didn't expect it to be to this extent? !
Shen Lansui glanced at Lu Mingchao, but saw that his eyes were distracted and unfocused. He seemed to be distracted?
This family is really interesting.
"Okay, I didn't call you here to quarrel today." The eldest lady sat back in the armchair, and said a little tired and aggrieved: "My original intention was to have a good family, but now it seems that freezing three feet is not a day's cold, slow down Take your time, but I still want to hold a birthday party for Lan Sui, so that the whole family can have a good time, okay?"
Lu Xingyue hesitated to speak, turned to look at Shen Lansui, and asked Shen Lansui's opinion with his eyes.
Shen Lansui thought for a moment, glanced at Duke Rong Guo's face from the corner of his eye, and nodded, "Lady Lansui dare not live up to your kindness, but don't make it too extravagant. It's just a birthday. The whole family can eat together." It’s a good meal.”
After hearing this, Duke Rong Guo's complexion actually improved a lot, "That's it."
"Okay, I'll take care of it." The eldest lady smiled happily, with some genuine feelings.
Lu Xingyue glanced at the anger between her eyebrows. The color was black with white, which showed that she was still pretending to be sincere.
He lowered his eyes and said quietly: "If there is nothing else, Lan Sui and I will go back first."
Duke Rong Guo said "tsk", "Why is everything okay? Follow me to the study."
Lu Xingyue looked at him, and Rong Guogong frowned: "What? I, the father, can't control you anymore?"
Lu Xingyue let go of his hand and whispered to Shen Lansui, "Go back first."
Shen Lansui nodded and said uneasily: "Have a good chat with the Duke and don't make him angry."
Lu Xingyue nodded.
*
The two of them entered the study one after another, and Duke Rongguo said without looking back: "Close the door."
Lu Xingyue closed the door, walked slowly to the desk and stood still.
Duke Rong Guo sat behind the desk, stared at him for a while, and sighed helplessly, "You don't even recognize me as your father now, do you?"
Lu Xingyue moved his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not that I don't deny it, it's just that you and I know some things very well. Apart from those things, I will always be your son."
Rongguo Gong was at a loss for words.
The fire in my stomach was extinguished instantly, leaving only bitterness and helplessness.
The two were silent for a long time, the dust in the air floating in the sun.
For a moment, Rong Guogong seemed to see the shadow of his old friend in Lu Xingyue.
After a while, he waved his hand and said, "That's all, I know your knot cannot be undone, and I won't force it, but for my sake, can you give her a little respect? I don't even ask you to treat her like a mother. But after all, she is the wife I am marrying."
Duke Rong's tone was sincere and almost humble.
Lu Xingyue raised his head, looked at him, and saw with his own eyes that the Qi between his eyebrows turned light pink, and his heart softened.
"Father."
Duke Rong's eyes trembled, "Hey..."
"If she doesn't do anything to Lan Sui anymore, for the sake of her upbringing..." He paused for a moment, seeming to find this statement a bit ridiculous, and sneered.
Duke Rong: "..."
"Don't worry, as long as she doesn't attack Lan Sui, I won't do anything to her. This is my bottom line."
This is all Lu Xingyue said.
