Chapter 40
Lu Songli had just arrived home, and before she had time to ask her mother about her father, her father arrived home at the other end.
"Dad, haven't you met the Queen Mother?"
"No, why do you ask that?"
Lu Songli then told her father what happened behind Changle Palace.
After hearing this, Lu Desheng's eyes were filled with joy. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, your father and I can run fast."
Lu Songli looked at her father suspiciously, saying such words could easily be misunderstood. First, the Queen Mother pretended to be in charge of the Qian Palace, looking like she was going to catch the adulterer aggressively, and then her father acted like the adulterer who had sneaked away...
Before they could continue, Mrs. Jiang shouted at them, "You two, father and daughter, haven't had dinner? Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry!" the father and daughter said in unison. The two of them battled wits and courage with the big boss in the palace. They consumed a lot of money and were already hungry.
"Auntie, you're worried about us at home. Come on, let's have some together." Lu Songli personally filled half a bowl of minced meat porridge for her mother. This amount was just right for an old man of their age. If there was more, she would need it at night Overeating.
"Okay, then I'll eat something with you." When the father and daughter returned safely, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved.
After Lu Desheng had eaten half full, he thought of the news that Wei Zili had just brought back from Changle Palace in Yuqian Palace, and he felt a little overwhelmed. He couldn't help but ask his little girl, "Ah Li, how did you know that you What’s the real condition of your body?”
He and his wife obviously never told her, could it be from the Xie family? Thinking about this guess, he couldn't help but his eyes turned cold.
Lu Desheng's words shocked Ms. Jiang. Did she mean what she thought? She looked at her husband first, and then looked at her little girl after seeing his serious expression.
Seeing the solemnity of her parents, Lu Songli touched her belly and put down the bowl helplessly, "Are you talking about the fact that I soaked in cold water for too long to save Xie Zhan and my body was too cold to give birth?"
When Jiang heard this, he quickly asked Lu Songli, "When did you know about it? How did you know about it?"
"I knew it accidentally."
Lu Desheng and Jiang only thought she overheard them talking about this matter.
Lu Desheng sighed, feeling extremely worried, "You kid, you already knew it, why did you take it out as a weapon? Do you want us as parents to die from heartache?"
When Jiang heard this, she had a very bad premonition in her heart. She quickly asked, "The child's father, what do you mean by this?"
"Still not be honest?"
Sensing that her cheap dad was not in a good mood, Lu Songli had no choice but to tell her exactly what happened in Changle Palace.
At the end, Lu Songli asked curiously, "Dad, how do you know so clearly what happened in the Queen Mother's palace?" It was so timely, and she hadn't mentioned it before she came back.
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes at her, "You're heartless girl. Your father was worried about you when he was in Yuqian Palace, so the emperor sent someone to Changle Palace to find out the news."
"I see."
At this time, Mrs. Jiang came to her senses and raised her knife, slapped Lu Songli on the shoulder, and said bitterly, "You unlucky kid, why did you leave such an important matter to yourself? .”
Lu Songli bared her teeth and begged for mercy, "Mother, please feed me gently. Your daughter is too delicate and delicate to withstand your iron palm."
"Didn't we agree before we set off? The worst we can do is lose our marriage to the Xie family, and we don't really want it anyway." Mrs. Jiang was really worried. Once her daughter's body was damaged and she couldn't have children, what if it happened again? If you break off your engagement with the Xie family, who else can you marry? Otherwise, it’s better to keep the Xie family alone? Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter.
Lu Songli seemed unaware and muttered, "At that time, if I didn't say anything, the Queen Mother would have given Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan a beautiful marriage."
Jiang choked.
"Then I feel so aggrieved. This is also the reason why the Xie family has been silent and allowed the Zhao family to do whatever they want. How can I let them do what they want without knowing that our Lu family doesn't dare to show their cards?"
"You are hurting the enemy a thousand times and damaging yourself eight hundred times."
"Then I think it's worth it. Mom and dad, the Xie family also knows this details about me." This was what she had guessed, otherwise in the original work, the original owner had no heirs and was never criticized by her husband's family. It seems that the Xie family is unreasonable in this regard.
Lu Songli's words left Lu Desheng and Jiang speechless. Yes, both Xie Zhan and his father knew about this. Whether Mrs. Xie knew about it or not is unknown.
Lu Songli felt that since this matter could not be kept secret in the end, it should be used to maximize benefits.
It has become an established fact that her body is damaged and she cannot have children. If this matter continues to be hidden, she and the Lu family will have to suffer this hidden loss. It is not cost-effective. Speaking out will become a weapon to constrain the Xie family and Zhao family. It can directly defeat the sympathy points that Zhao Yutan took away by committing suicide twice. As long as Zhao Yutan still marries Xie Zhan in the end, he will have to bear the stigma. Unless she really died, would Zhao Yutan be willing to do so?
Moreover, Lu Songli dared to be so arrogant, all because she dared to support herself. Now she also has the medical skills inherited from her family. Ahem, although her medical skills are not as good as those of her family members who practice medicine seriously in later generations, she is still confident in curing this body's extreme cold. When the time is right, she will start preparing herself the appropriate medicine to condition her body.
With Lu Songli's forgiveness, Ms. Jiang also figured it out, but she felt sad when she thought that her future marriage was destined to be bumpy.
Lu Songli could understand her mother's worries. She couldn't say clearly that the disease was nothing, just because her medical skills had not yet reached a certain level.
The daughter's attitude of downplaying the matter and not taking it seriously made Lu Desheng feel relieved. Forget it, the matter was over, and the boat would be straightened out when it reached the bridge.
"The Queen Mother is also an old fool." Mrs. Jiang muttered. Why is she meddling in this matter, knowing that the Xie and Lu families must have been close for ten years.
Lu Desheng said hurriedly, "Child, please be careful what you say."
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at him. She had already cleared out the servants, and there were only three of them in the house. Otherwise, she would not have dared to say such things.
"You said that the Empress Dowager left in a hurry in the end, and you don't know why?" Speaking of this result, Jiang felt all kinds of feelings in her heart, but more importantly, she felt torment. It was uncomfortable that the knife would not fall.
Lu Desheng touched his nose and said, "Maybe it has something to do with me."
Jiang and Lu Songli looked at him at the same time.
Lu Desheng hesitated and said nothing.
Lu Qingli is a person who is good at observing words and emotions. At this time, she stood up considerately and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm full. I'm going back to Xiaofeng Courtyard first. You can eat slowly."
"Okay, you are tired today. Go back and wash up and then rest quickly."
Today's physical and mental exertion was very great. Lu Songli returned to her yard, took a shower and quickly lay down.
