The ancestral hall was filled with gloom, and after kneeling for several hours, Lu Anran dragged her tired body back to the courtyard.
Maid Chunmiao boiled hot water, soaked some medicinal powder in it, and used a clean cloth to apply heat to Lu Anran's knees.
The water vapor was evaporating, and Lu Anran's soul had drifted to an unknown place.
After those words, Lu Xun didn't say anything else. He just took Lu Anran out of the ancestral hall and handed it to Chunmiao to take care of the young lady.
As before, mother and medical skills were like two taboos in Lu Xun's eyes, and no one could mention them.
Everyone in Mengzhou knew that Lu Xun was obsessed with his late wife, so much so that Mrs. Lu's repeated attempts to renew his marriage were rejected by him.
Although Lu Xun is humble and gentle, after all, he is the head of the Lu family and the master of Mengdu. If he doesn't want to, no one can force him, including the old lady.
In the face of other things, Lu Xun gave Mrs. Lu enough rights. Only in this matter, she stuck to her own opinion and no one could shake it.
However, who could know that the so-called deceased wife was not the county guard's wife that Lu Xun was marrying when she died. She did not enter the Lu family's ancestral land after her death, but was buried in a different grave in Mengdu County. Picturesque scenery.
She, Lu Anran, the most noble eldest daughter in the world, was actually a shameful illegitimate daughter.
Mrs. Lu kept silent about her mother's affairs because Mrs. Lu didn't like it.
All Lu Anran knew was that Lu Xun and his mother were deeply in love, but because his mother's background was not good, Mrs. Lu had already arranged for Lu Xun to have an illegitimate daughter at that time. Who knew that Lu Xun would directly bring back an illegitimate daughter later on.
At that time, the Lu family had already begun to decline, and the Yin family was booming. Mrs. Lu wanted to use the Yin family's influence to burn down the Lu family, a family that had been declining for hundreds of years.
pity……
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
Not long after Lu Xun brought Lu Anran back, the woman who had never been able to become Mrs. Lu died of a serious illness, leaving an orphan girl behind who became the eldest lady of the Lu family.
I heard that she was not terminally ill originally, but she just prescribed two pairs of medicines for herself. The more she took, the worse she became. In the end, she couldn't be saved.
With this incident in mind, from then on, Lu Xun strictly prohibited Lu Anran from studying medicine.
Later, Mrs. Lu revealed that Lu Xun and the woman were actually married outside the home, so the Yin family's marriage had to be abandoned. Mrs. Lu lost a lot of treasures for this, and Mrs. Lu fainted several times with heartache.
Not only because of those rare items, but also because he couldn't get married with the Yin family at all, and instead became enemies.
Therefore, it is strange that Mrs. Lu can have a good attitude towards Lu Anran.
After applying it, Chunmiao put down Lu Anran's trouser legs and took a woolen blanket to cover her legs. Just as the stew was ready, she filled a bowl.
"Miss, drink the soup and warm yourself up first. It's really cruel for an old lady to ask you to kneel down in the ancestral hall on such a snowy and cold day." Chunmiao curled her lips and lowered her voice with dissatisfaction.
Winter bamboo shoots, yam and bone soup, the meat is stewed very well, and all the umami flavor of the winter bamboo shoots is brought out. Mixed in the soup, one sip warms the heart and lungs, and leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Chun Miao opened the room with a water basin and poured water into the yard. A few fine snow drifted in and fell on Lu Anran's hair.
"It's starting to snow again." After Chun Miao came in, she patted herself and walked over to get scissors to cut the candle flowers.
After finishing the bowl of soup, Lu Anran put the bowl back.
Chunmiao saw it and asked, "Miss, should you eat now or wait a little longer?"
"Wait a moment, I can't eat the soup right now."
Chunmiao nodded in agreement and kept talking, "It's winter today. I brought some raw mutton dumplings from the big kitchen. Miss, you didn't hear. They are talking about just a few dumplings."
"What did you say?" Lu Anran leaned back, took out a book and opened it, asking casually.
