Lu Bozhou had just arrived home and had not even had time to drink a sip of tea when he was shocked after hearing what Lu Sheng said.

"My father-in-law asked my mother to commit suicide?"

Lu Bozhou put the tea on the tray, his face turning blue with anger.

"It's just nonsense!"

When he married Li Jinglan, he knew that Li Jinglan was a concubine's daughter. Would he no longer recognize his mother-in-law if he returned to the royal family one day?

"Don't let my father-in-law come in from now on!" Lu Bozhou walked out with a sullen face to see Aunt Zhao.

He had just acknowledged his relationship with the Prince of Jin when he forced his mother-in-law to commit suicide.

This is unjust, unkind and unfilial! It is more infuriating than abandoning your wife and marrying someone else.

How would he have the nerve to speak in front of the ministers in the future?

What does it mean to be a pig teammate who helps others to harm his own people?

This is!

No wonder Li Jinglan wanted to break off the relationship with the Li family.

He also wants to break up the relationship now.

When they arrived at Xuanrui Hall, Aunt Zhao was in a trance and her face was pale.

Lu Bozhou sighed and walked up to Aunt Zhao.

"Has my father-in-law come today?" Lu Bozhou asked.

Aunt Zhao heard Lu Bozhou's voice and stood up quickly: "Is my son-in-law back?"

"Please sit down." Lu Bozhou stood opposite Aunt Zhao and bowed deeply to her. "No matter what your father-in-law said to you today, I hope you will not do anything foolish for the sake of Jinglan and me."

Aunt Zhao felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife at this moment, and when she saw Lu Bozhou paying such a great tribute to her, tears finally fell.

"I said at the beginning that I couldn't leave the house, so you shouldn't have gone to pick me up." Aunt Zhao choked.

Lu Bozhou stood up straight, "You are Jinglan's biological mother, and my mother-in-law. I just went to the Prince of Jin's mansion to recognize my relatives today. If you do something stupid, how will people in the world look at me in the future?"

"Mom, if you really love us, you should live a good life."

"Tomorrow, I will ask His Majesty for permission to grant you a first-rank imperial decree."

"You have an imperial decree, I wonder who will dare to say anything to you in the future."

When Aunt Zhao heard that Lu Bozhou was going to ask for an imperial decree for her, she was really frightened. She shook her head frantically: "No, no, no, I don't want it, I don't want it."

Although Lu Bozhou didn't understand why Aunt Zhao was so resistant, he couldn't say anything seeing how scared she was, so he stepped forward to support Aunt Zhao.

"Mom, please sit down first." Lu Bozhou said gently, "If you don't want me to, I don't have to invite you. But I hope you can have pity on Jinglan and me. It's not easy all the way. Don't do stupid things."

He paused for a moment, "Don't let us bear the crime of forcing our own mother to death and forcing our mother-in-law to death. My father-in-law is confused, you can't be confused! I have already told my family that my father-in-law is not allowed to come into the house anymore."

Aunt Zhao's lips trembled for a moment, and she finally said, "I've already said that I'm an unlucky person. If I had known this would happen, I would..."

She knew that Lu Bozhou was right!

If she really committed suicide at this time, Lu Bozhou and Li Jinglan would indeed be charged with forcing her to commit suicide.

Li Chengyue may not care about the reputation of Lu Bozhou and Li Jinglan, but she cannot.

If she had known this would happen, she should have committed suicide on the day she gave birth to Li Jinglan.

"You raised Jinglan so well, how could she be an unlucky person?" Lu Bozhou comforted her gently.

Aunt Zhao wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to harm you."

After hearing this, Lu Bozhou felt relieved. "Jinglan, Zhongyu and Xiaoyuer will stay in the palace with the queen and can only come out on the 18th of the first lunar month."

"No one is home, could you please take care of the housework?"

Aunt Zhao immediately shook her head: "Let Miss Tuanjin help preside over it. After all, she will be a member of the Lu family in the future."

Lu Bozhou originally wanted to find something for Aunt Zhao to do, but since she said so, he didn't insist.

"Then rest in peace, mother."

Lu Bozhou turned around and told Xi Que, "Take good care of mom. If anything happens to her, you'll be the one I'll hold responsible."

"Yes!" Magpie knelt down and saluted with red eyes.

After Lu Bozhou left, Xi Que finally burst into tears: "Uncle is right! If you do something stupid, how will uncle and aunt live in the future?"

"If my uncle and I quarrel and become estranged because of your foolish behavior, how can I live?"

Aunt Zhao closed her eyes and said nothing.

Lu Bozhou went to find Zhou Jin again and asked Zhou Tuanjin to help manage the housework.

Zhou Jin already knew what happened today, so he took out some wine and asked, "Have a drink?"

"Come, let's get drunk." Lu Bozhou asked someone to prepare some snacks.

The two sat by the stove, warming their wine and talking.

Zhou Jin didn't mention what happened today at all, and kept talking about official business in Wenyuan Pavilion.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Jin talked about Chen Shuo.

"What's wrong with Chen Shu?" Lu Bozhou has a low alcohol tolerance and is already a little drunk.

Chen Shuo was the runner-up in the first class together with Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin.

"He came to me today and said he wanted to invite you to drink together." Zhou said.

Lu Bozhou drank another bowl of wine. He had no good feelings towards Chen Bangyan. "We never interacted with each other in the past. Why are you asking me to drink today?"

"Then just refuse." Zhou Jin suddenly thought of Wang Zhenyan and Wang Yongqing, "I don't know if they have taken up their posts yet."

Speaking of the Wang brothers, Lu Bozhou's expression became distant. He turned his head to look out the window at the cold winter and chuckled, "It should be time now."

Zhou Jin laughed and tapped the wine bowl with his chopsticks, "Thousands of miles of yellow clouds, the sun is dim, the north wind blows the geese and the snow falls. Don't worry about having no friends on the road ahead, everyone in the world knows you."

When Zhou Jin recited the poem, Lu Bozhou thought of the poem "He Xinlang" that Wang Zhenyan asked Zhou Jin for. "Are you trying to fool Zhenyan and Yongqing by writing "He Xinlang"?"

Zhou Jin nodded as a matter of course: "Is it so easy to write a famous article that will be passed down through the ages? If I could write it, I would have written it a long time ago."

Lu Bozhou pointed at Zhou Jin with his hand, his face flushed with alcohol, and said, "We've had enough wine and food, let's go and walk on the snow."

Zhou Jin felt that Lu Bozhou was really drunk, "Where is the snow?"

Lu Bozhou pulled him up regardless and said, "If I say there will be snow, there will be snow."

Zhou Jin was dragged by him into the yard.

Lu Bozhou hugged a tree and shook it vigorously: "Let it snow for me."

The tree stood still, not even a leaf moved.

Zhou Jin shook his head helplessly and said, "Just kick the tree." He stepped forward and kicked it.

As the foot kicked down, the branches and leaves trembled, and finally a leaf fell down.

"Look, it snowed when I said it would." Lu Bozhou looked up at the treetops.

There seemed to be a woman in red sitting on the top of the tree, reaching out to push the door.

"Open the door!" Lu Bozhou shouted again.

Zhou Jin looked up and didn't see any door on the tree, so he kicked the trunk again.

A few leaves fell again.

"Who, who kicked Jinglan away?" Lu Bozhou struggled to climb up the tree.

"Who dares to kick my sister-in-law?" Zhou Jin looked around in horror, trying to find the person who dared to kick Li Jinglan.

Seeing Lu Bozhou climbing up the tree for a while, Zhou Jin thought about it and followed him up.

While crawling, he asked, "Who kicked my sister-in-law?"

Lu Bozhou climbed up the first branch and pointed to a corner in the yard, "Jinglan, there are plum blossoms."

Zhou Jin didn't see the plum blossoms, but he felt a snowflake falling on his head. He looked up stupidly, "It's snowing."

Another drop fell and landed in Zhou Jin's mouth.

Zhou Jin tasted it and said angrily: "Pah, bird shit?"

"How dare you, that thief bird, poop on me?" Zhou Jin was so angry that his face turned red. He looked around for his sword, "Where's my sword? Bring me my sword! I want to stab this thief bird to death."

When the servants heard the news, they ran over and saw one standing on a tree branch fighting with a bird, and the other sitting on a tree branch shouting that he was looking at the plum blossoms.

He was so scared that he hurried to call Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng.

"The falling snow indicates the arrival of spring, and the plum blossoms elsewhere are fragrant." Lu Bozhou shook Zhou Jin's clothes and yelled at the corner, "Bloom, bloom! The poem has been written for you, why don't you bloom? Jinglan, why don't you bloom?"

Zhou Jin pulled back the hem of his clothes and pulled up his belt. "It's cold, the leaves are sparse, and the snow is fine and wet. Don't pull me. What's the next line? Wait for me to write a poem to scold this thief to death."

As a result, Lu Bozhou pulled his clothes again, tearing out the rest of the sentence.

Zhou Jin was furious. He turned around and grabbed Lu Bozhou's shoulders and shook him, "You have to pay for my poem! You have to pay for my bird!"

Zhao Zhengyi and Lu Sheng carefully put the ladder up the tree.

Several servants were holding up the quilts below and looking up nervously.

Gao Daxixi came out of the palace and saw this scene as soon as he entered the courtyard.

I was so scared that I almost lost my soul.

He commanded everyone and finally got Lu Bozhou and Zhou Jin down from the tree.

As soon as Lu Bozhou got down from the tree, he ran to the corner of the yard: "Jinglan, come and look at the plum blossoms."

Gao Daxi was so frightened that he grabbed him and said, "Your Highness, there is a bunch of roses in front of us, and they have thorns."

"The rose that occupies the four seasons of spring all year round? What a beautiful flower, what a beautiful flower." Lu Bozhou turned his head, his eyes hazy with drunkenness, "Come on, come on, let's celebrate the rose and dance for the rose."

Taking Gao Daxi's hand, he started dancing.

Gao Daxi, who was forced to twist along, said: …

Help!

Zhou Jin also rushed over, holding Gao Daxi's other hand, and with his other hand he pulled Lu Bozhou: "Play music, play music!"

The three of them were dancing in circles around a bunch of roses.

——*The falling snow tells us that spring is here, and the plum blossoms elsewhere are fragrant. The weather is cold and the leaves are sparse, and the snow wets people's clothes. I imitated Qiu Yuan's "Two Poems on the Beginning of Winter" and Wang Wei's "In the Mountains", hehe, it is considered plagiarism.
