And now my sister seems to have really grown up and matured...
"Okay." Lu Ling smiled softly and patted his arm, "I couldn't control my emotions when I met my mother and you. Don't think that I'm still the same old sister. I'll be very strict with you in the future. . I will find a way to help you raise the Lu family's property. When you pass the imperial examination and become an official, I will return it to you."
"Sister, I..."
Lu Cheng wanted to say that he was not afraid that his sister would take away the Lu family's property, but Lu Ling interrupted him with a smile: "I know that I am married and should not interfere in family affairs, but I can't worry about you and my mother. The Lu family Your inheritance, I will restore it to you as it was when my father was alive.”
"Sister, I don't have that idea. Although you are married, you will always be my sister. The property left by your father is half of yours. Besides, if I want to take the imperial examination and become an official, I will never do it again. Distracted from business matters.
"Sister, it's best to take them all and treat them as additional dowry."
Lu Ling couldn't help laughing and pretended to be angry: "You are talking nonsense. If I take away all the Lu family's property, wouldn't I be stabbed in the spine?"
…
That night, Lu Ling only slept for three hours. She woke up when the sky was slightly bright.
Although Song Wenzhou lived in the same courtyard as her, they were not in the same room.
When the sunlight shone into the yard, Lu Ling walked out of the room.
Haitang hurriedly chased her out with a thin Western-colored cloak, muttering: "Miss, your injury hasn't healed yet, can't you sleep a little longer?"
Lu Ling paused temporarily and tied the cloak by himself.
In fact, she wanted to say that although her body was freezing, she didn't feel any discomfort at all.
On the contrary, it would be strange if her body warmed up.
"Ling'er, did you sleep well last night?"
Song Wenzhou walked out of his room when he heard the sound, his clothes still untidy.
When Haitang saw him, she stopped bowing at all.
Lu Ling said calmly: "Don't bother me husband."
"Let's go, Haitang." Lu Ling didn't intend to stand and chat with him.
Haitang quickly followed.
"Ling'er, where are you going?" Song Wenzhou awkwardly caught up with Lu Ling and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
"Look at mother."
When Song Wenzhou heard this, he immediately said: "Okay, I will go with you to fulfill my filial piety."
Haitang rolled her eyes and scolded him for being shameless.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the yard, they heard screams and the chaotic footsteps of the servants coming from Mrs. Lu's yard.
Someone shouted: "Hurry up and get the rope!"
Lu Ling's heart tightened and he couldn't help but speed up his steps.
The wound on her chest ached faintly, but she didn't care at all.
As soon as Lu Ling stepped into the yard with his right foot, he heard his mother's crazy roar: "Get out! Get out of here!"
Lu Ling became even more anxious and rushed towards the house in three steps and two steps at a time.
When someone saw Lu Ling, they shouted as if they were seeing a savior: "Miss is here, Miss is here!"
The maids blocking the door of the house moved to both sides to avoid it.
Song Wenzhou stood still when he reached the door.
Lu Ling was frightened by the scene in the room:
Broken porcelain pieces, rags of cloth, brown concoction, red blood drops all over the floor, everything was a mess.
When he looked up and saw Mrs. Lu, Lu Ling was almost frightened to death.
But I saw a pair of sharp scissors in her hand, waving it wildly in the air like crazy. Someone's blood was on the tip of the knife.
Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were wide open, and her eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot eyes. She shouted angrily at the people around her: "Get out of here all! If anyone tries to stop me, I will kill her!"
As he spoke, he raised the scissors and aimed them at his own throat.
Lu Ling was shocked.
At that moment, her mind went blank, and she rushed forward uncontrollably, putting her hand in front of Mrs. Lu's throat.
There was a pop, and the instant pain made Lu Ling feel dizzy.
When everyone came back to their senses and looked again, they saw that the sharp scissors had almost pierced the entire palm of Lu Ling's left hand, and blood splashed onto the faces of Mrs. Lu and Lu Ling.
Mrs. Lu was stunned by the dazzling red color and was stunned.
When she lowered her eyes, she saw Lu Ling's face twisted in pain lying on her chest, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead because of the pain.
"ah!"
Mrs. Lu screamed, suddenly pulled the scissors out of the back of Lu Ling's hand, and threw them to the ground.
More blood spattered, and Mrs. Lu also regained some sense. She looked at Lu Ling who was curled up and stood up slowly in pain.
Haitang shouted: "Go and call the doctor!"
Only then did Xin Yi react. Hurry to find the hemostasis powder.
Lu Ling stood up with Haitang's help, stretched out his right hand to press the bleeding wound, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hurry up and help mother!"
Only then did the servant react and ran to Mrs. Lu to hold her shoulders.
Mrs. Lu's tears were flowing out, and her red eyes were slowly returning to normal.
She sat motionless on the bed, looking at Lu Ling with regret.
Lu Ling met her gaze and tentatively called her mother.
Mrs. Lu shook her head and choked: "Ling'er, mother is crazy, how can mother hurt you?"
Lu Ling quickly let go of his mother and sat next to her.
Xin Yi found some hemostatic powder from Mrs. Lu's cabinet. Seeing this, Song Wenzhou grabbed it into his hands and squatted in front of Lu Ling.
Lu Ling frowned subconsciously.
But thinking of her mother, she obediently stretched out her hand and asked Song Wenzhou to help her apply the medicine.
Mrs. Lu was filled with regret, looking at Song Wenzhou's actions with distress, and kept apologizing to Lu Ling.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Cheng rushed over with the doctor.
Seeing that Lu Ling's palm was almost pierced, he was horrified and distressed.
No one expected that Mrs. Lu would become ill this morning.
Lu Ling saw that everyone around him was looking at her, and he forced a smile and said: "Why are you all so sad? Shouldn't you be glad that your mother is fine and that I only suffered a minor injury?"
Song Wenzhou quickly answered: "Yes, yes, fortunately Ling'er's hand was only injured."
Lu Cheng looked at Song Wenzhou's smiling face and couldn't help gritting his teeth: "How did you protect sister?"
Song Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Lu Cheng's angry eyes, he couldn't help but reply: "What does it have to do with me?"
But since you want to pretend, you have to pretend to be like it.
He pinched his thigh and looked at Lu Ling with a look of self-blame: "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I should have stopped my mother. I just didn't expect my mother-in-law to want to commit suicide, so I didn't react for a moment..."
Although Lu Cheng blamed Song Wenzhou, he blamed himself even more for having rushed over in time this morning instead of busy looking for old books.
Lu Ling ignored Song Wenzhou lazily, just looked at Lu Cheng and said, "I don't blame anyone for this."
Lu Cheng glanced around the room, and finally set his sights on Xin Yi. He couldn't control his emotions for a moment, and spoke louder: "Didn't I say that no dangerous things are allowed in mother's house? You How do you do things?”
