Now that he had a suspicion about Lin Wanyu's true identity, Lu Mingyu directly sent people to Shengjing to investigate carefully to confirm whether she was Lin Wanyu or Lin Wanyu.
If she was really Lin Wanyu, then was it King Xuan or Concubine Rong who sent her by name to be his concubine?
No wonder the bad old man in the family used his mother's memorial tablet to force him to submit! It seems that in Lu Zhang's eyes, only the Lu family is important.
As for Lin Jinlan, who now lives in Jinlanyuan, in her memory, she was also gentle and quiet. She also gave him sweets when she saw him, and taught him how to throw a pot for a whole day. But since her mother passed away and she was promoted as the main wife, she has changed. She has become harsh and harsh, and she will be extremely harsh on him for the slightest mistake!
Rather than being a stepmother, she is more like a sparrow who once gained power, turned into a phoenix and was eager to whitewash her head high. So much so that as soon as he took office, he renovated the Luming Garden where Lin Haitang and Lu Zhang lived from top to bottom, inside and out, erasing all traces of Lin Haitang's past.
At that time, he was only five years old.
No one understands his pain of losing his mother and unborn brother, no one understands his fear after waking up crying in the middle of the night, and no one understands his loneliness and loneliness as he huddled alone in the corner of the dusty courtyard for days and nights without anyone looking for him. despair.
His father doesn't love him anymore.
but why?
Because my mother is gone.
There are too many women in this house. There are so many women that the mother still has no smile on her face after she became pregnant with her brother. There are so many women that the backyard becomes a mess as soon as the mother walks out.
Perhaps because Aunt Lin was his mother's concubine, in order to continue to win over the Lin family's support and respect for the Lu family, Lu Zhang chose Lin Jinlan without saying a word, and she lived up to his expectations and kept the backyard clean. Saved him a lot of trouble.
It's just that he doesn't know what life is like for his legitimate son who was once doted on to the top of his heart.
Every time he wanted to complain, his father would just tell him to listen to his mother. Although she is not your biological mother, she is also your biological aunt. His father did this for your own good.
ridiculous! A few years later, he finally realized that all of this was just a high-sounding excuse for his inappropriate behavior!
Just like this time, what was An's intention when he took back the Lin family's daughter who had been convicted and put her in his yard?
On the branch under the moon, Lu Mingyu personally sent Lin Wanyu back to his residence. The stone was not allowed for his entourage to enter the girl's house. Bai Lu, who was still waiting for Lin Wanyu, sleepily dragged the big and small bags into the house bit by bit.
Looking at Bai Lu who was busy and making small mistakes from time to time, Lu Mingyu's eyes were full of disgust. He frowned and said to Lin Wanyu: "Tomorrow I will ask them to point out two maids for you. From now on, you will live here. To the outside world, you are My newly adopted concubine, I will not touch you internally, let alone stay overnight. You can live in this small courtyard for as long as you like, as long as you don’t cause me any trouble, it won’t be a problem to keep you as a child.”
Lin Wanyu was extremely surprised. She thought that she would really become a concubine in the deep house compound who could not even control her life and death. Now this man told her that she didn't have to!
It turns out that what Bai Lu said was true.
"Thank you."
Besides thanking him, Lin Wanyu didn't seem to know what to say.
"No! But there is one thing I have to remind you again. You are my, Lu Mingyu's, and you are not allowed to go out to flirt with women or commit any betrayal! And more!"
As he said that, Lu Mingyu suddenly stepped forward and warned him seriously: "Don't miss me! I am so rich and noble, not just any woman can get it, do you understand?"
"..."
Lin Wanyu was stunned for a moment, but she had no choice but to respond. She looked very obedient, so obedient that she was exactly the same as the woman Lu Mingyu rescued from the outside.
"Hey, it's boring."
Just as Lu Mingyu wanted to leave, he was stopped again.
"My maid Yuyan." Lin Wanyu knew that Yuyan was not a good person, but she hadn't seen her since she cut her wrists and woke up. She didn't care about Yuyan, but she also wanted to ask her about her situation.
"I heard that she was imprisoned by you?"
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows, "What, asking for mercy?"
"No!" Lin Wanyu immediately denied it, her voice rising a little higher unconsciously. After realizing it, she adjusted it back and said in a calm tone: "She is not good to me. I don't want to keep her. You can help me find any reason to kick her out. "
Oops, that's an idea.
"Okay, is there anything else?" Lu Mingyu remained calm, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly showed his admiration for her: tenacity, sobriety, determination, definitely not a lady raised in a small family.
"Master, please help me find some books and copybooks. I'm bored alone in the yard." Lin Yunyu made her request bluntly, but the more she spoke, the weaker her confidence became. She was afraid that Lu Mingyu would find her troublesome.
During the days when she was recuperating, Bai Lu talked to her a lot about the big and small things of the Lu family. Although she was often in a daze, she listened more or less. The Lu family is a businessman, and the only one in the family who is studying is the seventh young master Lu Langchen. He just became a scholar a few years ago, and their sixth young master only spends his days looking for flowers, gambling and prostitution. He has never seriously studied. If you compare him with Lu Langchen on this point, he will be angry, very angry.
And if she asks him for a book now, I'm afraid he won't agree.
It was just that she was really bored when she stayed in the yard by herself. When her mind was empty, she thought of the tragic situation at home and her parents and brothers. She was in so much pain that she wanted to find something to do.
But Bai Lu also said that although they were rescued and had enough food and clothing, they could not just walk out of Tomorrow Garden, cause trouble to the young master, or do this or that.
She made a lot of requests when she first arrived, which was really not polite. Therefore, in the silence for a long time after she spoke, she did not dare to raise her head to look at Lu Mingyu. Instead, she became lower and lower. The once proud daughter of heaven now asked for books and copybooks. Ordinary things must be humbled.
For a long time, just when Lin Wanyu wanted to forget it, Lu Mingyu suddenly said: "I don't like books. There are none in the yard. I definitely don't know what you want. Why don't I take you to the bookstore another day and you can choose by yourself."
After saying that, he left.
He actually agreed!
Lin Wanyu felt relieved and showed her first sincere smile in these days.
The sixth young master of the Lu family seems to be a really good person.
Now that she has chosen to live, she must bravely face the current predicament and the days to come. Even as a concubine in a merchant's family, Lin Wanyu is not willing to just be the dodder flower trapped in the back house. She wants to break free. Bricks and soil grow toward the sun. Even a small blade of grass must become the one with the most vitality!
But the wait lasted several days.
With two helpers, Bai Lu could go back to her small courtyard and no longer have to serve Lin Wanyu like a maid, but she felt that she couldn't get along with those sisters and it was boring to be by herself, so she still stayed by Lin Wanyu's side every day. Bring her some tea and cut some fruit.
The sun was shining brightly on this day. The first thing Lin Wanyu did after getting up was to ask Bai Lu, has the young master come today?
But Bai Lu still shook her head. Seeing Lin Wanyu's disappointed look, she said with relief: "The young master rarely comes to our place, but since the young master said he would come, he will definitely come. If he doesn't come, he is too busy and has no time."
Playboys, they are only busy eating, drinking and having fun.
She didn't say this, but the disappointment in her eyes was obvious. Bai Lu also smiled awkwardly, thinking that she couldn't defend the young master, so she had to change the subject: "Are you hungry, girl? There are butterfly cakes in the big kitchen today, honey." Fusu, and my favorite meatloaf! I'll go get some, okay?"
Bai Lu is greedy, and any ordinary food that comes into her mouth is like delicacies from the mountains and seas. Therefore, when eating at the same table with Bai Lu, Lin Wanyu will eat a lot even if she has no appetite. After this period of time, her health has improved, and the scars on her wrists have also healed. Under the action of Jade Skin Cream, there is only a faint trace, which cannot be seen at all unless you look carefully.
The originally thin and pale little face became delicate, rosy and shiny, except for the sad look between the eyebrows, showing her beauty.
"How did the big kitchen cook these things today?" Lin Yunyu felt very strange. The Lu family was full of young masters but no girls, and the ladies didn't like sweets, so the big kitchen rarely cooked anything. A while ago, Bai Lu was greedy, and he was like a thief. Like a mouse, she stole two pastries from the leftovers in the main courtyard, which made her proud for a long time.
"Ah! Today is our eldest young master's wedding day!"
Only then did Lin Wanyu notice that when Bai Lu smiled, she had two faint dimples on both sides of her face, which was very cute.
"Oh, girl, do you want to eat?" Bai Lu instinctively felt that Lin Wanyu's status was different from theirs. If she wanted to eat, she would not have the confidence to do so, but if Lin Wanyu wanted to eat, she could do so openly.
The point is, get as much as you can! Take lots of them! It’s best to have a little of each!
As she thought about it, Bai Lu felt like the gluttons in her stomach were about to burst out. She resisted the urge to drool and couldn't wait for Lin Wanyu to nod before running towards the big kitchen, but she was stopped as soon as she took a step out.
"The eldest young master is getting married, will the sixth young master attend, right?" Lin Wanyu suddenly thought that Lu Mingyu hadn't shown up for a long time, and it was time for her eldest brother to get married. She didn't want to wait any longer, and winter would come if she kept waiting.
Bai Lu nodded.
"Let's go together." Lin Wanyu stood up and went back to the house without hesitation, took a white fox shawl and put it on, and walked out of the gate of Tomorrow Garden with Bai Lu.
Maybe he just forgot. She had to catch him and make an appointment, instead of just letting her wait like this.
The Lu Mansion was holding a wedding event, and the array was unprecedentedly large. Every servant and servant was in a hurry, wearing red silk and satin that symbolized the happy event around their waists, and they were still walking as fast as flying while holding wine and food in their hands.
Lin Wanyu was walking behind Bai Lu, who was familiar with the family. She accidentally thought of some things she heard about the eldest young master of the Lu family when she went to Yunxiang House a while ago. It seemed that he was already over thirty. He once had a wife who respected him as a guest. Unmarried wife.
Today should be the day to marry the step-brother.
There is such a big deal to marry his step-brother, so he must have a high status in the family, at least higher than the sixth young master.
Lin Yunyu made some mental calculations on how to find Lu Mingyu inconspicuously. She accidentally didn't pay attention to the scattered gravel under her feet. When she twisted her foot, her center of gravity suddenly became unstable. She was about to fall. Lin Yunyu exclaimed: "Bai Lu" ——”
"Hey, where did this little fairy come from?"
Lin Wanyu felt like she had hit a piece of stinky tofu, which was soft and smelly.
