If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Looking at the entire Lu family, Lu Yuan’s situation is most similar to that of Mr. Lu Sanye.

And Master Lu San also helped the young Lu Yuan, but...

After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, and anything could have happened.

Although the enemy of my enemy is my friend, Shen Sui'an didn't dare to open his heart to the third room right away.

She only introduced the current situation of the Lu family to Ruan.

Ruan listened humbly, and in fact, she was analyzing the current situation of the Lu family in her heart.

Before she and Mr. Lu Sanye returned to Beijing, they had someone make some general inquiries.

What interested her most was the fact that Shen Sui'an had broken off the engagement.

As a woman, it is not easy to take the initiative to cancel an engagement.

Before she came back, she thought Shen Suian should be a heroic and powerful woman.

When she met Shen Suian, he was different from what she had imagined.

Such a beautiful, graceful and gentle girl is not weak at all when doing things.

She quite likes Shen Suian.

Shen Sui'an naturally also noticed Ruan's kindness towards her, and she made an appointment with Ruan to go out on the street together tomorrow.

"The Chinese New Year is just a few days away. The streets are bustling with activity now. When the Chinese New Year comes, there will be lights and decorations everywhere, and various parades and competitions to watch." Shen Sui'an said.

Ruan's eyes lit up: "It's much more lively than Subei."

As they were speaking, a maid came to report that the Duke and Mr. Lu San had returned together, and asked everyone in the family to go to the upper room.

Shen Sui'an's heart sank slightly, and she looked at Ruan worriedly. Could it be that the old lady went to complain, and was going to make things difficult for the third room again?

"Yaoyao, does your hand still hurt?" Ruan asked softly to her daughter who was playing nearby.

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Lu Yaoyao raised her tender white hand. After applying medicine, the redness and swelling had disappeared.

Ruan smiled and said, "Daddy is back, let's go find him."

Upon learning that the Duke had returned, the old lady hurriedly got up from the bed. If Ruan hadn't threatened her today and she was not allowed to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, then she must divorce such a shrew.

In the hall, Duke Lu was smiling widely, he hadn't felt so happy and proud for a long time.

"Father, why are you so happy? I heard your laughter outside." Master Lu came in leisurely and greeted Master Lu San with a smile.

Uncle Lu followed closely behind, and his expression wasn't as good.

As someone who had come out of the palace together, Mr. Lu naturally knew what had happened today.

"When everyone is here, I will tell you some good news." Duke Lu said with a smile.

Soon everyone arrived.

Old Madam Lu's face was pale, and she pointed at Third Master Lu and was about to burst into tears.

"Second son's wife, give orders to hold a banquet tonight to welcome third son. Send someone to the princess's residence to invite the princess and Lu Heng back as well." Duke Lu ordered.

Madam Lu: “…”

She was almost mad to death, yet she still wanted to hold a banquet to welcome them?

Lord Lu did not notice his wife's expression. When he saw that most of the family members had arrived, his smile became even wider.

"The third brother has made great contributions in Subei. Today, the emperor is very pleased and has promoted him to General Guangwei." Duke Lu laughed happily.

Mr. Lu Sanye was originally a senior cavalry captain, and now he has been awarded an additional rank for his meritorious service. As long as he makes one more merit, he will soon be promoted to a senior light chariot captain.

It is not easy to get promoted in the army, and the emperor values ​​the third brother very much.

"Congratulations, Third Master. You have made a great contribution to become a general of the fourth rank in an instant." Second Master Lu was the most heartless. He didn't notice the ugly faces of his wife and mother at all. He smiled and congratulated Third Master Lu.

Master Lu San folded his hands and said, "It's all thanks to the Emperor's grace. My contribution is not worth mentioning."

Duke Lu stroked his beard with satisfaction. He had been worried about the future of the Lu family for a long time because of Princess Lu Hengshang. Now that the third son had made military achievements, he saw hope for the future of the Lu family again.

"You didn't even mention a word when you came back yesterday, Third Brother. You don't trust us at all." Uncle Lu glanced at Uncle Lu San, feeling an indescribable depression in his heart.

He had a feeling that he understood his son's feelings. It was really unpleasant to see a bastard who had never been as good as himself suddenly gain military merit and be rewarded by the emperor.

Lu Heng must have felt the same way when facing Lu Yuan.

"Everything I did was to defend my country. I never thought about whether I had made any contribution or not. If the emperor says I have made any contribution, then I have made any contribution." Master Lu San said calmly.

"In short, today is a good day. Third brother, you must guard against arrogance and impatience, continue to work hard, and practice diligently. The swords on the battlefield are ruthless, so you must also be cautious and take care of yourself." Duke Lu said in a deep voice.

Master Lu stood up and bowed, "Yes."

"Does military merit mean you can be disrespectful and unfilial to your stepmother?" Old Madam Lu suddenly spoke in a sharp voice.

"Why don't you ask what your good daughter-in-law did today!"

Mr. Lu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced sideways at Ruan, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Ruan shook her head slightly at him.

"Why are you angry again!" Lord Lu was displeased and glared at his old wife with a frown.

Madam Lu sneered, "How dare I lose my temper? I'm afraid someone will break my neck."

"That's enough. Why are you talking so quietly?" Lord Lu scolded.

"If you don't believe me, then ask the second son's wife. Rong Jie'er and Yin Jie'er were both present, and they were also scared." The old lady shouted.

Lu Yin and Lu Rong, who have been treated as invisible people since childhood: "..."

Duke Lu looked at Second Madam Lu with his sharp eyes.

Mrs. Lu smiled awkwardly, "It's just that the third brother's wife is quite strong. We have never seen such a strong woman. The old lady was a little scared."

"Daddy, grandma hit me today, but I didn't cry. I was very good." Lu Yaoyao suddenly squeezed out from behind Ruan and ran towards Master Lu Sanye.

The little fat boy just reached Mr. Lu Sanye's knees. He was fair and cute, and his voice was so tender and sweet that it made people feel soft-hearted.

Mr. Lu San held his daughter in his arms and sat her on his lap. He saw that the back of her little hand was a little red and had a faint smell of medicine.

"You hit such a young child?" Duke Lu couldn't believe it and glared at the old lady.

Madam Lu was furious and said, "It was just a slap on the back of the hand, how could it hurt?"

"It hurts." Lu Yaoyao's lips pouted and she looked like she was about to cry again.

Ruan came out at this time and said, "It's my fault. Yaoyao wanted to care about grandma, but she didn't know the rules and went forward. She really deserved to be spanked on the back of her hand. I didn't teach her well, and I didn't control my temper and crushed the spoon. Please punish me, old lady."

“Then go kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and reflect on your sins.” Old Madam Lu snorted immediately.

Master Lu San said calmly, "It's time to go to the ancestral hall."

"Father, I think tomorrow is a good day. Why don't we move my aunt's spirit back to the Lu family ancestral hall tomorrow?" said Mr. Lu San.

"What did you say?" Old Madam Lu and Mr. Lu spoke in surprise at the same time.

Shen Suian couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

What a wonderful, intense way to get angry.

Mr. Lu Sanye really knows how to piss off the old lady to death.
