After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

Shou'an Hall of Zhennan Palace.

Ever since Xiao Yunxi left during the day, the old lady has been very silent and even eats less.

Nanny Li said worriedly, "Madam, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

The old lady sighed, "One wrong step leads to another. You saw how Lu Zhan greeted him just now. That kid is totally different from Lu Ze now!"

"That's right. When it comes to raising children, the princess is really good."

"It's not Xiao Yunxi who is powerful, it's the Ningguo Mansion that is powerful."

The old lady got angry when she thought of Lu Ze's weak look.

"You should arrange for a few reliable people to serve Lu Zhan. When he goes to study at the Ningguo Mansion, don't slack off and keep up with his food, clothing and other expenses!"

"I understand," Nanny Li helped the old lady change her clothes, "but aren't you afraid that he will get closer and closer to the Ningguo Mansion and Xiao Yunxi?"

Just now, Lu Zhan came to ask the old lady for permission, saying that Xiao Yunxi had instructed that he should still go to the Ningguo Mansion to study every day in the future. The old lady thought about it for a moment and agreed.

"What is there to be afraid of? His last name is Lu. Even if he becomes the top scholar or the prime minister in the future, he is still surnamed Lu. He is the eldest son of Jing Ting. The ancestral etiquette and laws are there. Not to mention Xiao Yunxi, even the emperor can do nothing about it!"

The Ningguo Mansion has worked hard to raise offspring for the Zhennan Palace. Isn't it more comfortable to just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor than to work hard?

Thinking about Lu Zhan passing the imperial examination and being paraded through the streets on horseback, the old lady laughed. No matter how well the Ningguo Mansion educates the child, he still has the surname Lu!

Early the next morning, Lu Zhan, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan came to Shou'an Hall to pay their respects.

Lu Ze has lost a lot of weight, and his expression is less innocent and more gloomy. Lu Yuan is no longer as spoiled as before and has become extremely well-behaved.

"great grandmother."

Standing next to Lu Zhan, Lu Ze and Lu Yuan both looked a little timid. At first glance, they looked like the eldest son with his useless illegitimate brothers and sisters.

The old lady's face was cold: "From now on, you can come with Lu Zhan to pay your respects on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Lu Ze looked up in confusion, "Why?"

The old lady took a sip of the tea bowl and said calmly, "There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children. Your biological mother is a lowly concubine, whose status is even lower than that of ordinary illegitimate children."

After saying that, he ignored them, turned around and looked at Lu Zhan kindly, asking about his homework.

Nanny Li walked over to Lu Ze and Lu Yuan and said softly, "Master Ze and Miss Yuan, please go back first. The old lady has only prepared breakfast for Master Zhan."

Lu Ze pulled Lu Yuan, who was sobbing in grievance, and turned to leave.

His eyes were full of hatred. Although the old lady was not very close to them before, she was gentle to them. But today she has become so sarcastic and mean!

why?

Just because they are illegitimate children?

"It's all mother's fault!" Lu Yuan cried louder and louder, "I wish mother was born into a noble family like mother."

Lu Ze also thought so in his heart. If his biological mother had not been of low status, if she had not been stupid and vicious, he and his sister would still be pampered young masters and young ladies.

Now the entire Zhennan Palace, even the servants and slaves look down on them, and Mr. Hu also begins to hate him...

So what if they are their father's biological children? They are not as favored as Lu Zhan.

Half an hour later, Lu Zhan arrived at the Ningguo Mansion and went straight to the study to continue reading and practicing calligraphy.

After an hour, Xiao Yunxi brought the pastries over personally.

"Zhan'er, take a break and try this Longjing pastry."

She sat aside and checked Lu Zhan's homework.

Lu Zhan ate two pieces and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

His eyes were moist, and he felt as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart. His mother still treated him the same as before.

Xiao Yunxi understood his uneasiness and said gently, "Then eat a little more. This is made by Nanny Su herself. It's priceless!"

"Ok!"

"Mother," Lu Zhan put down the snack, "When I went out today, Lu Guifang came back with a face towel.

She... was very cordial to me and asked about your situation.

Knowing that I was going to continue studying at the Ningguo Mansion, she held my hand tightly and insisted that I bring her with me.

Later, she was forcibly dragged away by Li Mama."

Xiao Yunxi frowned, took Lu Zhan's hand, lifted his sleeves, and sure enough, there were purple marks on his arm. He asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Lu Zhan shook his head. "Mother, Lu Guifang is acting a little crazy. I'm worried that she might do something bad to you."

Xiao Yunxi took the ointment from Xia He and gently applied it on Lu Zhan's arm. "It's okay. She can't hurt me."

Lu Guifang has a cold relationship with Mr. and Mrs. Dong, and has always had a bad relationship with Mrs. Dong.

In the past, considering that the Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion and the Duke of Ningguo’s Mansion were in-laws, Old Madam Dong would at most give them some discipline and admonition.

Now the Ningguo Mansion and the Zhennan Palace are enemies. Dong Weixian's future still depends on her grandfather and father. It would be strange if Madam Dong didn't deal with her.

He had been holding a grudge for a long time because he had failed in his previous attempt to divorce his wife. Now he must be thinking of killing Lu Guifang.

Shou'an Hall.

Lu Guifang hugged the old lady and cried for a long time, and Ruan was so angry that she walked around, cursing Madam Dong all the time.

"This old man is clearly trying to force Fang'er to death! I have never heard of any mother-in-law asking her daughter-in-law to get up before dawn to collect dew just to drink tea made from morning dew!

He also has nightmares every day and asks Fang'er to keep watch at night.

Then Dong Weixian will sleep in the second house every night, and she will give birth to a baby soon!

By then, Fang'er and her son will have even less status to speak of."

Lu Guifang cried so hard that she was out of breath. She looked extremely haggard and even older than Ruan.

The old lady felt more and more sad as she watched, and patted her head, "Your mother-in-law is not only humiliating you, she is trying to kill you!"

Lu Guifang sobbed, "Grandma, Fang'er really couldn't bear it any longer. Today she took the second wife to the temple to pray for a child, so I sneaked back through the side door!"

The old lady was shocked. "How foolish! If you run back to your parents' home without permission, won't it give her a better reason to punish you?"

"Madam, how can you blame Fang'er for this? If Fang'er hadn't come back today, we would still be kept in the dark!

We never know when the Dong family will send someone to inform us to hold Fang'er's funeral!"

Ruan was so angry that she slapped her chest and said, "If it were you, I'd better not go back and divorce Dong Weixian directly."

Hearing the word "divorce", Lu Guifang's eyes lit up, but when she thought of the children...she shook her head helplessly, "They won't agree to a divorce. At best they'll give me a divorce letter, but they won't allow me to see the children in the future."

The old lady glared at Ruan and said, "Do you think that you, as the eldest princess, can force the emperor to issue an order?

If you count on your fingers, the number of women who divorced during the Dali Dynasty could be less than five!

What's more, the old lady of the Dong family never thought of letting Fang'er leave alive!"

She turned her head and looked at Lu Guifang steadily, "If you can't divorce, you have to endure it. Either you kill them, or they kill you!"

"Your grandmother is right," the old prince walked in with a sullen face, "You go back now and kneel down in front of your mother-in-law to admit your fault, saying that she was worried that your grandmother could not bear the changes in the family, so she was anxious to go home to see her.

Filial piety is the most important virtue. At most, she would punish you by making you kneel or copy the family rules. That is not a big deal."

The old prince looked at Lu Guifang and said, "Remember, if you don't have the capital to be arrogant, you have to be humble.

For those who achieve great things, patience is their greatest skill! "

"When will Fang Er ever be able to get through this?"

The old prince's eyes moved slightly, "Soon..."

Lu Guifang looked at the old prince's determined expression. Even though she was confused, she felt a lot more at ease and wiped away her tears.

There is nothing we can do now except endure.
