Xu was stunned and couldn't come to her senses.

Jue Xia smiled and said, Madam, our young master has become sensible. I will be happy to know that.

Madam and Master are deeply in love, but the only shortcoming is that their three children are useless.

There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of Xu's mouth.

Yingxue glared at Jue Xia. Madam had been sitting there all day without waiting for the master to come. Madam was feeling uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to say something, he heard a reply from outside the door.

Madam, Miss Dengzhi is back.

Xu sat up straight.

Dengzhi looked gloomy and ugly: You guys go out and guard the door. The two second-class maids withdrew.

As soon as the door was closed, Mrs. Xu's expression dropped a bit.

Dengzhi knelt on the ground with a clang.

Her eyes were red, her whole body was trembling, she almost gritted her teeth and said, Madam, she knows things like a god, in Qingyu Alley... Dengzhi's eyes were red, she almost went crazy on the spot when she saw that scene.

When the slave left, the master happened to be helping a tightly wrapped woman get into the carriage. There was also a newborn baby in his arms.

Denzhi almost cried.

[Oh, it seems that I was not strangled to death, but the two women were arrested. They were afraid of an accident and moved their positions...]

She really heard this sentence.

Xu took a deep breath and suppressed the shock in her heart.

Can you see clearly? Is it really... Mr. Hou? She almost gritted her teeth, her face as pale as paper.

Dengzhi wiped his tears and said, I heard her call me Lu Lang.

The slave pretends to be renting a house. I heard from the residents next door that they have lived here for many years. They have always been referred to as husband and wife. The two of them... Dengzhi wiped his tears.

The two of them are extremely affectionate. Mr. Lu was worried that she would be wronged, so he personally bought gifts and visited every house, asking everyone to take good care of her. Every family had a very good impression of them.

Xu's heart seemed to be ripped open.

Madam... Dengzhi couldn't help but look at Madam. She felt like she was struck by lightning, let alone Madam?

[My beautiful mother, let’s not cry. Don’t shed tears for the scumbag. I feel so sorry for my mother...] The little guy is chirping. Such a beautiful mother, the scumbag is blind.

What's that girl's last name? After a long while, Mrs. Xu asked quietly.

There was a hint of despair in his tone.

My servant only heard that her surname is Pei. On weekdays, the Marquis calls her Jiaojiao. Maybe it's her nickname.

The last glimmer of hope in Xu's eyes suddenly collapsed.

Jiaojiao?

A few years ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we had an extra drink at our family reunion, and Lu Yuanze shouted Jiao Jiao in his dream at night.

Mrs. Xu felt a sweet taste in her mouth. Her years of love and trust suddenly collapsed.

Mrs. Xu leaned on the head of the bed, tears falling heavily.

Before I had time to express my feelings, I heard the soft and waxy little milky voice saying again.

[Mom, please stop crying. Under the crooked-neck tree in your natal family, the horoscope of the current emperor is hidden...]

Lu Chaochao only regretted that he could not speak. The Xu family was searched, and something treacherous and immoral was found under the crooked neck tree. The eldest uncle took the blame and was beheaded in public.

This was also the beginning of the Xu family's downfall.

Xu's heart felt numb when she heard that horoscope.

Back then, Lu Yuanze asked to marry the Xu family, but her father and brother at home did not agree, so she insisted on getting married, and this was how the marriage took place.

In recent years, because Lu Yuanze didn't like her, she deliberately alienated her parents' family.

I was deeply afraid of offending Lu Yuanze.

But she doesn’t want anything to happen to her parents’ family!

She sat up straight in an instant, wanting to hear a few more words, but the little guy didn't say a word for a while.

Today's Holy Emperor hates the art of witchcraft and Gu the most. If we search it out from the Xu family...

Xu didn't have time to think about it.

He waved Dengzhi forward and whispered in Dengzhi’s ear.

Just saying that during my confinement period, I want to eat the ginseng soup made by my mother. You go dig it out secretly and don't let anyone see it. After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, there was a flash of struggle in her eyes.

No, wait. Mrs. Xu struggled to get up from the bed.

On an October day, she was soaked in cold sweat.

She took out a Buddhist scripture from the highest cabinet. The Buddhist scripture was copied by her personally. It was originally used to celebrate the birthday of her mother-in-law.

At this moment, she bit her finger and endured the pain while writing something on it.

Wait for the writing to dry: Take out the thing under the tree and put the blood book in it. Don't let anyone find out about it. Take the thing out and return home immediately!

Mrs. Xu's face was solemn, and she didn't dare to be careless when climbing the branches, so she hurried out of the door.

That night, Mrs. Xu couldn't sleep all night.

Until the early morning of the next day.

Lord Lu looked exhausted and hurried back home.

Yun Niang, you all blame me. There was something important at court last night. I was so busy that I stayed up all night and couldn't get back in time. I have wronged Yun Niang. Lu Yuanze apologized as soon as he entered the door. This kind of thing is so familiar.

In the past, every time he admitted his mistakes like this, Mrs. Xu would comfort him very considerately, saying that government affairs were important.

But now...

She looked carefully at Lu Yuanze. Lu Yuanze was 34 years old this year, but he was still handsome, a little more elegant and temperamental than before.

The guilt and look in his eyes seemed to be about to overwhelm her.

[My cheap scumbag dad looks like a human and a dog. No wonder people were coaxed into waiting for him for more than ten years. ] Lu Chaochao couldn't help but complain.

This is our little daughter, right? Come on, daddy, give me a hug. This is the only daughter in our family... Lu Yuanze paused.

Xu's eyes were cold, her only daughter?

Yes, she is the only daughter of our Lu family. Mrs. Xu said with a slight frown.

The eyebrows and eyes are like yours, and the mouth is like mine. Lu Yuanze's eyes flashed with displeasure.

But I have to say, this kid looks really good.

You haven't hugged the first three, but you are willing to hug this one. Mrs. Xu said with a chuckle.

You can't spoil your son, but your daughter is different. Lu Yuanze has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and his colleagues have become fat men with big bellies. He is still thin, somewhat elegant, and has the aura of a superior.

In the capital, there were always many women who liked him.

Everyone praised him for his cleanliness and his reputation in Beijing.

[Beautiful mother, he lied to you again. He said to his brothers...] She muttered, but Xu didn't understand a word.

When it came to her three sons, she felt instantly excited.

What did he do to his son?

Her scalp couldn't help but tingle.

Xu's mind suddenly became clear.

She only thought that Lu Yuanze had changed his mind. Could it be that there was any secret in this?

Lu Yuanze, who had always been careful, didn't notice anything strange about her. After so many years of deception, he no longer needed to think of another reason.

She believed it with just a casual lie.

Have you decided on the child's name yet? Mrs. Xu looked at him.

Lu Yuanze was stunned.

After being stunned, I heard the young man behind Lu Yuanze say: Master, I am concerned about my wife's pregnancy. Before the child was born, I spent the whole night in the study thinking about a name.

Master has read through the Book of Songs.

Talk too much! Lu Yuanze's face darkened and he yelled.

When the boy raised his eyes, he saw that the master's face was extremely gloomy, as if a storm was about to come. The boy was murmuring in his heart, obviously the master has been looking through names for three days?

Seeing that Mrs. Xu was frightened, Lu Yuanze shook his head and said, I wanted to give you a surprise, but this idiot revealed it.
