When Lu Yunying came to the main courtyard again, Mrs. Hu happened to be back from visiting Lu Feng. Lu Yunying unexpectedly appeared again, and both Mrs. Hu and her daughter were stunned.
"I have something I want to talk to Madam about, and I would like to ask my second sister to stay away for now."
"I....."
Lu Yunluo had never heard Lu Yunying talk to her like this. Although he understood what his mother said about Lu Yunying, he still subconsciously wanted to scold her, but was stopped by Mrs. Hu.
When everyone left, Lu Yunying did not touch the tea served by others and said straight to the point:
"My aunt is not feeling well. I took a sign and sent for a doctor. I came here to inform my mother."
"Aunt Zhang is fine..."
"I don't know. The doctor hasn't come yet, but it's probably not serious. Compared to this, it's better for Madam to worry about other things."
Worry, what should she worry about? Before Mrs. Hu could react, Lu Yunying continued:
"I am participating in the election in compliance with the Queen Mother's decree. I have never done anything illegal. I hope my mother can prove it."
"This is natural. Although you are a concubine, you have been raised under my knees since you were a child. You have no more rules."
"That's good."
Lu Yunying nodded, and suddenly looked straight at Mrs. Hu:
"Since I follow the rules, naturally I will not have anything to do with other families before my second sister gets married."
Mrs. Hu is smarter than Aunt Zhang, and she knows the importance of things even more. She immediately understood something when she heard this, her face instantly turned pale, and sweat began to overflow on her forehead.
The Hu family, Aunt Zhang, the Zhang family...the traps they had set for Lu Yunying in the past, the sweet words they used to persuade her to agree to marry, now detonated and turned into shackles that trapped Mrs. Hu herself.
Lu Yunying left quickly. She didn't ask anyone to inquire about anything, but the whole Lu Mansion was in turmoil even if she stayed in the room and heard about it.
Mrs. Hu did not waste a moment and returned to the front yard where Lu Feng was currently recovering. The couple had a rare unified statement - Lu Yunying had not discussed marriage, and had never done so before. The Hu family and the Li family could hardly hear anything. Have not heard.
After reaching a consensus, the couple began to work together again.
Naturally, the Hu family left it to Mrs. Hu to solve the problem. At that time, the old lady of the Hu family only asked implicitly in the letter. If there was anyone suitable, she would let Mrs. Hu keep an eye on it. The person to be noticed was not yet decided.
As for the Zhang family’s nonsense? What does the Zhang family know that they are just a servant? It's the Hu family's birth again, and the entire family's marriage contract is in their hands, so it couldn't be easier to handle.
As for Lu Feng, who dragged his sick body to see Aunt Qin, it was easy for him to deal with Mr. Li's affairs.
Mr. Li, as an official, has always been rigorous and cunning, and left no evidence of letters. After knowing that Lu Yunying was selected, he would probably keep silent in order not to cause trouble.
And Aunt Qin is also a master who will not let go of eagles when she sees rabbits, not to mention that she is just an aunt. Although she is favored, how can she have the right to influence the marriage of the young ladies in the house? She won't leave anyone with any excuses until things are safe.
It's just that Lu Feng came to look for her this time, and then ordered her with a stern and cold tone not to spread rumors about the marriages of the ladies in the house. That really scared her and broke her heart.
Aunt Qin made a fuss for a while, but after getting an impatient warning from Lu Feng, she became completely honest.
She didn't expect that Lu Yunying would become the empress, so she had those plans, but wasn't this the master's tacit approval? Now you blame her again?
She was angry in her heart, but Aunt Qin didn't dare to say anything. She could only sigh and gritted her teeth and sighed that it was better to be a proper lady. She had all the dignity and dignity, and she didn't have to be reprimanded by her husband to lose her confidence.
Aunt Qin's father died suddenly, so naturally her whereabouts could not be arranged in advance. She was an only daughter. As soon as her father died, uncles and relatives from different houses came to take advantage of her, coveted the family's land and property... Lu Feng was already her best choice. A single success would allow her to keep most of her family's property, but the price would be that she could only be a concubine.
Whether it is a good concubine or a noble concubine, it is just a name that sounds nice, but isn’t it just that the body is like duckweed?
Looking at her two daughters who came after hearing the news, Aunt Qin wiped her tears and hugged them again. She secretly gritted her teeth in her heart. She knew that this was the end of her life, but her two daughters must not follow her own path.
Lu Yunsha was still young and only focused on wiping the tears of Aunt Qin whose face was still wet, but Lu Yunshui was different:
"How could my father do this to my aunt? It's Lu Yunying, right? Because Lu Yunying is going to become the imperial concubine, so my father can't stand us."
"Shut up."
"Am I wrong?"
Lu Yunshui's eyes were red, angry, jealous, and unwilling. Why was this person who was usually inferior to her in everything chosen, but she lost?
"I really shouldn't have spoiled you and forced you into this character. After the third lady enters the palace, you will be locked in a room with me and work as a female celebrity to sharpen your temper."
"Why?"
"I am your mother!"
"you......."
In the end, Lu Yunshui couldn't say anything to hurt Aunt Qin. He just stood there with his neck stiffened and refused to lower his head.
Aunt Qin paused, and finally sighed. She thought that letting Lu Yunying fill in the house as Mr. Li was caused by her ignorant daughter, so she asked everyone to leave, leaving only the mother and daughter saying:
"I used to say that you were like me, but I thought highly of you. See how you are like me? You can't be calm about anything, and you won't stop until you make trouble."
"When I was in trouble before, I didn't see you saying that I'm not like you."
The implication is that something is wrong now and he is starting to blame her.
"That's because I was able to clean up your mess before. Now your third sister is the hot spot in the family and the whole family's hope. If you offend her, how can I wipe your ass? You will be the only one who suffers when the time comes. eat by yourself."
"Am I still afraid of offending her? What's more, I have said so much about the empress in the palace, and she may not be able to..."
"Shut up, is this what you can say?"
Aunt Qin stood up, helped the younger fifth lady Lu Yunsha sit down, then walked to Lu Yunsuan and said:
"And since your third sister has such luck, I wish your third sister well. It's best to be pampered, to be a high-ranking imperial concubine, and to be protected by her children."
"Auntie, you..."
"Not only will your brother's future road be much wider this way, but you and your sister's future marriage options will also be much wider. Yun Sui, Madam and I do have many disagreements, but we and the Lu family are both prosperous and prosperous. Everyone suffers, including your third sister."
Lu Yunying didn't know that his "enemies" in the past had already counted on him. Since Lu Yunying was now considered the "most" promising person in the Lu family, Lu Feng and his wife were full of energy. The family dinner hadn't even started in the evening. Aunt Qian was sent to send a message, saying that she could rest assured that everything would be taken care of at home.
In addition, Mrs. Hu also secretly sent five hundred taels of silver notes, and she also said it very nicely. There are many places to spend money in the palace, so she must not be polite to the family, and it is not just that.
Lu Yunying was elected to the palace. It sounds nice in name, she is the emperor's woman.
In actual operation, the ostentation was worse than that of ordinary concubines. Even if it was a concubine, a concubine from a good family like her would have her own dowry. Lu Yunying could only bring two boxes and cages with her into the palace, and put some personal clothes and some jewelry. It's seventy-seven or eighty-eight.
What's more, she can bring a maid into the palace, and the cage space will be even smaller. Therefore, all the "dowry" prepared for Lu Yunying cannot be used and must be liquidated. In addition, she needs to add something to her home. It proves that the Lu family did not "treat" their daughter badly.
So Madam is really busy, busy dealing with the ordinary dowry, busy dealing with the mess caused by herself and Aunt Zhang, and busy coaxing her daughter.
Fabrics with exquisite patterns, uniquely designed jewelry, and a large amount of cash... none of them could be collected in a short time. In order to please Lu Yunying, she could only "borrow" part of her biological daughter's dowry first. This naturally made Lu Yunluo unhappy.
But compared to this, there are more important things that Lu Yunying needs to deal with.
"How's it going with my aunt?"
"The doctor said he was frightened and needs to be recuperated, but it should be nothing serious."
Lu Yunying went to his wife's place, and Yu Duo naturally stayed to take care of Aunt Zhang. Although Aunt Zhang didn't have her own maid, Lu Yunying was not so big-hearted that she just scared her own mother, so she didn't even want to have more maids. situation.
"It's okay."
Lu Yunying breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Aunt Zhang's body was not as weak as she thought.
"Speaking of it, my family attaches great importance to my coming to the palace this time. My aunt is pregnant again, so I won't suffer any grievances, so I feel relieved."
"It's you..."
"Me? Miss, what can I do to make you worry about me?"
"Yu Duo, there are only two of us here. You and I have grown up together, and our friendship needs no words."
"I've also noticed in the past two or three months that the palace is not a good place..."
"Miss, have you been wronged in the palace?"
"No, I just think that the palace may not be suitable for you."
Yu Duo's temperament would make life miserable in the Lu Mansion, let alone in the palace?
Those of them who were elected to the palace, and those below the rank of principal, could bring a maid into the palace. Loyalty was more important in the palace than character. When it came to loyalty, the first thing Lu Yunying thought of was Yuduo.
But it was precisely because of friendship that Lu Yunying had to consider Yuduo's own situation.
"It's more difficult in the palace than in the house. I can't even protect myself, let alone what kind of stable life I can promise you. If you... why are you crying?"
"Miss, you don't want me anymore?"
"No way? I'm just worried?"
"Or do you think I'm stupid and can't be flexible?"
"How could it be? I didn't have a choice before, but now I want you to have a choice."
"Then I will go to the palace with the young lady. Although I am indeed stupid and cannot adapt to the situation, Yu Duo will learn. At least, I can at least serve the young lady comfortably."
"And I have already shown off to other maids that the young lady is going to take me into the palace. If I change someone now, wouldn't I be very embarrassed?"
As he said that, Yu Duo crossed his arms and raised his head slightly, with a proud look on his face.
Lu Yunying: .....
To be honest, she somewhat believed that Yuduo could really do stupid things just to save face, but she still had to finish her words:
"Of course it's you. My first choice is always Yuduo, but hush, don't refute, just listen to me and think about it."
"If you are willing, follow me into the palace in three days. If you are not willing, you can choose to go to my aunt, or I can ask my wife to put you on the Zhuangzi to be a steward. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live a free and happy life? "
