Husband is extremely regent

Chapter 189
"It's not easy to be pregnant for ten months. Why are you willing to spoil your son so badly and push him to a desperate situation step by step."

Lu Shang asked his mother in grief: "Every time I ask you, what kind of business does uncle do, you need to use your son's official seal, you always tell me not to ask, but if your son asks a few more questions, you will get angry at him." , now that the son is about to go to the guillotine, the mother should let the son die clearly."

"You won't die, the old lady will definitely ask your sixth uncle to save you..."

"It was just now that Nanny Ji came to deliver a message. Grandma said that she couldn't get the whole family together for her son, and..."

Lu Shang's eyes were red, but he held back his tears and said, "Sixth Uncle and Sixth Sister have moved away, so don't count on them, let alone bother them."

"You saved Lu Xu back then." The third lady reminded her son that Lu Xu owed him a favor.

"But the fire is set by you, and the two cancel each other out, and they don't owe each other."

Lu Shang reminded indifferently: "Don't forget how you treated Lu Xu in the past. It is the greatest kindness that the sixth uncle and his daughter didn't take the opportunity to add insult to injury."

"We can negotiate with you. As long as the father and daughter are willing to help, Lu Xu will be allowed to enter the Lu family tree." The third wife tried her best to find out the weaknesses of Lu Yi and Lu Xu.

"You're still so naive and self-righteous. It's true that a merchant woman's mind is full of money." Lu Shang said with a sad smile: "Do you think that today, as the sixth uncle, you still care about this?"

"Lu Xu is going to marry in the future, her husband's family..."

"Fanxing and Lu Xu are in love with each other, and he doesn't care about Lu Xu's background at all."

Seeing that his mother was still struggling, Lu Shang said coldly: "Mother, don't struggle, and you tell the Fang family not to struggle, no one can protect them."

"What if someone is willing to protect the Fang family?" The third lady asked her son tentatively. Lu Shang was stunned and said, "It must be someone with ulterior motives. It is the Fang family's business that the Fang family is willing to be protected by them. The son will surrender himself in a while. The Lu family will not be buried with the Fang family."

"You're crazy." The third lady looked at her son in disbelief: "You're going to die, do you know that?"

"It's you who are crazy. You knew your son was going to die, but you still pushed him into the fire pit. Now that mother wants to save Fang's family, go ahead and save her son. The dying man can't take care of him. You can do it yourself."

"Mother, take care!"

Lu Shang knelt down, kowtowed three times, and went outside.

After leaving the house, he saw Lu Chong standing outside, stepped forward and said: "Brother, I have not returned from home this time, so I will entrust my elder brother to my family from now on."

"Brother is also at fault." Lu Chong said with guilt in his heart: "I failed to remind and stop you in time, but for Yu'er..."

"Eldest brother, don't blame yourself. I know the difficulty of elder brother. Mother threatened Yu'er's illness, and elder brother had to marry an unclean woman from the Fang family. It was because I didn't keep my heart, and I couldn't stand my mother's soft and hard words."

Lu Shang sighed softly and said: "Fortunately, Yu'er's condition has improved, big brother has finally come to the end of all hardships, you don't have to worry about me, I'm relieved now."

Looking at his once high-spirited younger brother, Lu Chong lowered his voice and said: "Sixth younger sister asked me to bring you a few words, she said that it is good for fourth brother to tell the truth, and you don't have to take all the sins on yourself. Any offense is a serious crime, and you, a member of the Ministry of Industry from the sixth rank, Wailang, has no right to intervene, and there are people behind the Fang family."

"!!!???"

Lu Shang looked at Lu Chong in disbelief.

"Brother Shang, elder brother will accompany you to Shuntian Mansion."

"it is good!"

*****
The incident of the fourth son of the Lu family turning himself in and pleading guilty caused a thousand waves in the capital.

It was also discovered that Lu Yi and Lu Xu's father and daughter moved out of the Lu Mansion, and the father and daughter were suddenly pushed to the forefront.

The parties concerned were busy with their own work, and Lu Yi went to court to deal with official duties every day, while Lu Xu directed the maids to tidy up, tidy up, and clean the new house at home.

The first important thing in the new house is to put the mother's body in a proper place, and then arrange and arrange various objects. This alone took three days of work, and then named the courtyards and pavilions of the new house, and matched them with suitable matching words. Son, it took another three or four days to purchase all kinds of flowers for decoration and planting.

It wasn't until the day before New Year's Eve that the new house was tidied up.

Since it was said to the outside world that it was in accordance with the law to avoid the case of Fang's family in Nanyang Mansion, the new house can't be called Lu Mansion naturally.

When he came to the front of the new house on the first day, Lu Xu named it Han Garden without even thinking about it, and even carved the name of the garden on the door plaque with a sword on the spot.

Lu Yi came back to look at it and didn't say anything, nor did he have any opinions on the layout of the new house, but Lu Xu had a big opinion: how did the promised big lake turn into a large shallow water beach, and what about boating and rafting? Not even a bamboo raft can float.

Resenting and complaining all day long, Qingluan quickly comforted her: "Miss, the water in the lake comes from the river, and now the water level in the river has dropped in winter, and the lake is only supplied by a hot spring, so it is naturally a shallow beach; in spring, the water level in the river rises because of frequent rains. The water level of the Great Lakes will also rise, which is why it is said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer.”

"I know the truth." Lu Xu said very depressed: "But I promised that the fourth and fifth sisters will swim in the lake together, so why not invite them to soak their feet together?"

"Soaking your feet is also good." Qingluan clapped her hands and said, "When I turn around, I will go to Mr. Shangguan and tell you that your feet are cold in winter, so ask him for a prescription for soaking medicinal soup for your feet, and get a pool full of medicinal soup. , you soak your feet while chatting."

"Remember to call Miss Sun, and Liang Xi, I guess she's bored."

"Where's Mrs. Zhang?" Qingluan asked again

"Forget it, she has a big belly and can't soak her feet..."

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "How about asking her to come and see our feet?"

"Young Madam Zhang will beat you." Qingluan reminded.

But Lu Xu said disapprovingly, "I still want to wear that set, which is exactly the same as her headgear."

"Miss..." Qingluan said to her master speechlessly: "There is no reason for the master to deliberately make things difficult for the guests, who would dare to come to our house as a guest in the future."

"Your lady, I only have those few friends. I don't care if other people come or not."

"Now the master is the right minister, and the officials and family members will come whether they like it or not. You are the only female family member in this mansion, so you need to greet them well."

"Why are they here? We don't hold a housewarming party." Lu Xu said even more depressed: "Whoever has time to greet them, I just care about myself."

Qingluan thought for a while and said: "This is the case in official courts. They will give gifts if you don't do it. It's better to have a gift list than no gift list. At least we can still have the initiative, and we can return it later."

"What should I do now, I haven't organized a banquet before."

"Invite the old lady and several other ladies over to help, and you just need to greet the young ladies."

"Even if grandma and the others come to help with such a big banquet, our family doesn't have enough manpower, and it's too late to buy it now."

Lu Xu looked at Qingluan and said, "Besides, it's inappropriate for grandma and the others to come here now. Our family is in the evacuation period, so it's not suitable to come and go for the time being."

"It really doesn't work, let's borrow it from the palace."

Qingluan reminded Lu Xu that there is also the empress in the palace who can help.

Lu Xu resentfully said: "You forgot, I broke up with the empress, so she won't care about me."

"Borrow Aunt Lan from Mister." Qingluan clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Yes, Aunt Lan is an old man in the palace. With her to help with the banquet, there will be no mistakes. This servant will tell Mr. Fan about it."

"Nonsense, what is Aunt Lan's identity, how can she come to our house to help."

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "No, we're only moving to Hanyuan temporarily. What kind of housewarming is we going to do? We'd better discuss it with my father first."

"Let's get ready..."

"Stop..."

Lu Xu interrupted Qingluan and said: "Everyone in the officialdom is like a thousand-year-old fox. A little trouble can make the matter [-] to [-] percent. At that time, they will send the gift to Hanyuan in advance. Our housewarming party is not good. Doing something has to be done, and doing nothing is the best choice.”

"I invite the sisters to get together. It doesn't deserve their attention."

"The servant sees that you just want to be lazy."

Qingluan still doesn't know her master, so she likes to just hide and be lazy.

Lu Xu coquettishly said: "Don't even think about it. Holding a housewarming banquet will undoubtedly divide the mansion with the Lu family. That is a big deal. The memorial to impeach father can bury the emperor."

Qingluan understood the reasoning after thinking about it: "It's a good thing that the slaves didn't make decisions without authorization and purchased all kinds of cups and cups in advance, otherwise it would be self-defeating and create opportunities for those people to embarrass the master. It's really a blessing."

"You go and buy some unique flower paper. I want to write invitations for my sisters myself, and the ink I use should also be scented."

Lu Xu thought about it carefully and said: "We still need to purchase cups and cups, but we should focus on elegance, and then buy some things like preserved fruits and candied fruits that women like to eat... We are full of water here, why not make a curved water cup? must be interesting."

Explain in detail: "In this way, people outside will know that it's just a gathering of women in the boudoir, so they won't have any wrong thoughts."

Qingluan recorded them one by one, and after she settled down at home, she personally took people out to do the shopping, leaving Lu Xu alone by the water to look at herself. small fish.

"You have a lot of free time, do you want to come over and help?"

Suddenly a figure appeared on the surface of the water, Lu Xu turned around and said, "Why do you have time to stay here, is there any task that needs my help?"

"You also know that Lu Shang surrendered himself. He is also a fool. He doesn't even know how he became a criminal." Gu Jiaolong threw down the brochure and said, "I remember you had a very high opinion of this brother, he Why did it become so unbearable?"

Lu Xu didn't read the brochure, and said flatly: "It's not that his greedy mother is in charge of our Lu family's huge family business, and she still cares about her mother's money, so she cheated herself and her son, but I It is certain that the third brother did not participate in it, but his mother cried, made trouble, and hanged herself."

"Don't worry, we'll find out."

Gu Jiaolong sat down and looked at the surrounding environment and said: "The mansion is well chosen, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, it is very suitable for your physique."

Lu Xu also sat up and said, "Before I moved here, I told Fourth and Fifth Sisters that we could take a boat tour, and now... just now I discussed with Qingluan, asking them to go over to the house to soak their feet together."

"Why don't you invite me?"

"You are not from our generation. Are you comfortable watching us fight?"

"I don't care, I just want to participate." Gu Jiaolong replied forcefully, and suddenly said: "Almost forgot the business, do you still remember Feng Ran?"

"Remember, my father almost didn't hit me because of her." Lu Xu suddenly stared at Gu Jiaolong, deliberately changed the subject and said, "You can treat my father well, he is such a handsome old man, he sees you almost every day , you are not a little bit excited?"

"Not long after I arrived in Tianyu City, someone told me a word. She said: You can't meet someone who is too amazing when you are young, otherwise, no matter how long it takes, you will never be able to seriously like someone again..."

Gu Jiaolong smiled and said: "After the person who once amazed me is gone, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, I can't stay."

Lu Xu recalled that sentence, and said with a smile on his face: "I can understand, if Fanxing suddenly left one day, I might be like you, so can you tell me more about Mr.?"

"I really know too little about Mister, especially his experience in Tianyu City."

Judging from the news he revealed a few days ago, the days of living in Tianyu City were not very satisfactory, and I don't know how he spent that time.

Gu Jiaolong smiled and said: "His experience in the city of Tianyu is not as bad as you imagined. To put it bluntly, he is similar to you. He has good looks and high strength at the same time. He beats everyone who should be beaten and who should not be beaten." At the same time, he is sought after by thousands of girls, but his existence threatens the position of the eldest son."

"Eldest son?"

Lu Xu thought for a while and said, "It's about the same as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Jiaolong hummed: "The eldest son, Fanheng, is excellent in all aspects, and he is recognized by everyone as the successor of the next city lord. This kind of thinking lasted until seven or eight years ago, when the city of Tianyu was invaded by foreign enemies and was in crisis. Fanxing exposed his true strength and ended when he solved the difficulties of the city of Tianyu."

"Probably due to the fear of powerful enemies, there was a dispute in the city about the establishment of the elders and the younger ones, and this almost triggered a civil war. For the stability of the Tiancheng City, the city lord had to let Fan Xing leave the Tianyu City."

"How can there be such a eccentric mother in the world, don't you know that this is tantamount to pushing her son to death?"

Lu Xu was angry for Brahma, as expected, God is jealous of talents, and always let people like them go through hardships in order to get a peaceful life.

Gu Jiaolong said yes and said: "This decision seems to take the overall situation into consideration, but in fact, he has chosen the eldest son as the successor and acquiesced in the subsequent assassination. We don't know what Brahma has experienced, we only know that he can survive. It’s really not easy.”

"He wrote a letter to Tianyu City because of me, doesn't he mean to bow his head to them?"

Recalling that in order to help her get blood ginseng, Fan Xing did not hesitate to send a letter to the city of Tianyu, thinking that he had a happy family, but he did not expect to be more miserable than her.

"It should just be a promise to them."

"Really thick-skinned."
