"Sister, please drink tea."

Xin Ruxuan looked at the kneeling woman in front of her calmly.

Emei has bright teeth, skin like cream, and a willow waist under her pink skirt that is less than a handful. She is a rare beauty.

Normally, she would have praised him, but now she felt disgusted, just because of the clear pride in the woman's eyes.

The hall was quiet.

"Sister..." The woman raised a face that was about to cry, and the hand holding the tea cup trembled.

"Okay, Xue'er." The man standing next to him couldn't help but stepped forward, supported the woman's trembling body, and said distressedly, "You are pregnant, so you shouldn't kneel for a long time."

"What!? This Is it true?" Mother Lu stood up excitedly and walked over with the help of her nanny, "How long has it been?"

The woman shyly touched her flat belly, "I'm not sure yet. Lu Lang is just a little girl who is too nervous."

Although his words were uncertain, his tone was firm.

"Come on, come quickly, go and find Doctor Gao, Feng'er, please..." Mother Lu's voice gradually disappeared, as if she suddenly saw Xin Ruxuan, her eyes looked at Xin Ruxuan with guilt.

Xin Ruxuan stepped forward generously and took the tea, "Mom, please don't worry, I will have people clean up Xiyuan in a while. My husband is tired from running around with Aunt Xue, so go down and wash up first."

Xin Ruxuan made the words Aunt Xue very clear, and the person in Lu Jingfeng's arms couldn't help but tremble.

Lu Jingfeng didn't notice. He glanced at Xin Ruxuan gratefully, picked up the person in his arms, and looked at Mother Lu, "Mom, Xue'er and I will go back first."

"Hey, okay." Mother Lu was excited. He nodded and watched the two of them walk out the door before looking back at Xin Ruxuan, "Mother Xuan, thank you very much."

Seeing the meaning in Mother Lu's eyes, Xin Ruxuan lowered her head, the bitterness in her heart was spreading, but her voice was very calm, "Mother I haven’t seen my husband for so long, so I must have a lot to say, so I won’t disturb my mother.”

“Okay, okay.” Mother Lu smiled and went out impatiently, followed by the maid and maid behind her.

"Mommy, I remember there is a hundred-year-old ginseng in the warehouse. I will remember to get it to Xiyuan later... Also, I need to prepare the children's clothes..."

As the person went away, the voice gradually disappeared.

Xin Ruxuan stood there, looking at the cooled tea in her hand, just like her current state of mind.

The maid Qiu Ya behind her walked up and supported her with a worried look on her face, "Mrs. Madam, are you okay?"

Xin Ruxuan calmly put the tea in her hand on the table, "It's okay."

Thinking of the woman who left Liu just now Xin Ruxuan pursed her lips with a proud smile.

She felt that the house would not be too peaceful next.

She had been married for two years without any children. Her husband returned from a study tour and brought back a pregnant woman.

Xin Ruxuan sat in front of the mirror, and Qiu Miao beside her was removing the accessories on her head.

Qiu Ya on the other side didn’t look angry and kept chattering.

"That Aunt Xue is dominating the house by relying on the meat in her belly. I heard that she even asked the big kitchen to make bird's nest tonight."

"Where did you get such a big face? We ladies don't even have to eat it. Who doesn’t know that it’s only been two months now that the lady is supporting her? “

” “Okay,” Qiu Ya said more and more outrageously, and Xin Ruxuan had to stop her. "No matter what, she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Lu family, so it doesn't matter if she loses anything."

"Also, now I am the young lady of the Lu family. Please don't call me miss outside."

"Miss, no, young lady..." Qiu Ya stopped talking. Now who doesn't know that the madam's heart has been turned aside? The things in the warehouse are constantly entering Xiyuan. Why can't she see the madam's interest in her home? The lady is having such an easy time.

After all, her lady has been filial to my wife for two years.

"You guys go down, I want to rest. "Xin Ruxuan stood up, walked to the bed and sat down.

"Yes. "Qiu Miao pulled Qiu Ya down who still wanted to speak.

The door was closed and then opened.

Xin Ruxuan raised her head, thinking that the two maids had left and returned again, but she saw Lu Jingfeng walking in.

Xin Ruxuan’s face showed no emotion and she stood up, “Husband. "

Lu Jingfeng frowned when he looked at Xin Ruxuan who was wearing a single suit. Xin Ruxuan was beautiful, but she was like a dead fish in bed. She couldn't compare to Yang Xueer's charm, which made him happy every time.

But his mother was right. , He needs a legitimate son.

Seeing Lu Jingfeng reaching out to pull her, Xin Ruxuan's eyes flashed with disgust, and when Lu Jingfeng looked over, they returned to normal, "It's so late, why aren't you with me in Xiyuan? Aunt Xue? "

Lu Jingfeng didn't like her tone, as if he was not her husband, but an insignificant person," Mom said, I shouldn't have ignored you just after I came back, so let me spend more time with you. Moreover, I need a legitimate son. "

Hearing the meaning of Lu Jingfeng's words, Xin Ruxuan raised her head in shock. How could this man go out and pretend that nothing happened before when he came back, thinking that she would still sleep with him?

She didn't want to monopolize it. Lu Jingfeng, on the contrary, she wished that Lu Jingfeng would have more concubines, and then he would no longer have any thoughts about her. She only needed to be the young lady of the Lu family.

But Lu Jingfeng didn't seem to think so now.

Lu Jingfeng pulled her clothes when he came up. Although Xin Ruxuan was very cold, under the candlelight, her figure looked more curvy, and he became angry immediately.

She was his wife anyway, so she would not be in vain if she did not sleep. Go to sleep.

The man's smell of alcohol came to her face. Xin Ruxuan couldn't help but felt annoyed, and reached out to stop his hand, "Husband, I'm not feeling well today. I'm afraid I can't serve you. "

Lu Jingfeng didn't care, "You are my wife, and it is only natural to serve me. "

What Xin Ruxuan hated the most was his face, so she pushed him away hard, "I said, I can't serve you today. If you want, I will call the maid over to serve you. "

" OK, good. Lu Jingfeng suddenly changed his face and hugged her pitifully, "Have you forgotten that you are my wife?" Today, I will teach you how to be a good wife. "

The sound of tearing clothes rang in her ears. Xin Ruxuan was startled. When she lowered her head, she saw that the thin single garment was torn in half, revealing the bellyband inside.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Lu Jingfeng felt his lower abdomen getting hotter and tighter. Holding the woman in his arms, she pressed herself onto the bed.

Xin Ruxuan came back to her senses and found that she was pressed against the quilt. The man's wet kiss fell on her exposed shoulder.

Xin Ruxuan closed her eyes resignedly. Forget it, just think it was bitten by a dog.

Just when Lu Jingfeng was not satisfied and wanted to pull off the man's bellyband, there was a hurried knock on the door.

An anxious voice came, "Master, I don't know why. , Aunt Xue suddenly suffers from abdominal pain. Please go and have a look. "

" What! ? Lu Jingfeng let go of Xin Ruxuan unhappily, frowned and stood up to put on his clothes, "Can you please call the doctor?" "

" Please, but my aunt said she was afraid and wanted you to accompany me, Master. "

Lu Jingfeng didn't even look at Xin Ruxuan. He put on his shoes and opened the door and went out. The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Xin Ruxuan slowly sat up and put the quilt on her body, her eyes gradually turned red.

Qiu Miao and Qiu Ya came in and were shocked when they saw Xin Ruxuan's appearance, "Miss?"

Both maids thought that Lu Jingfeng's departure had made Xin Ruxuan sad, so they didn't dare to speak, so they could only close the door and leave.

Xin Ruxuan opened her eyes, her eyes were dark.

3

Xin Ruxuan didn't sleep well all night. Xin Ruxuan got up with dark circles under her eyes. Qiu Miao didn't dare to delay and applied a thick layer of foundation on her.

Qiu Ya pouted on the side. If Xin Ruxuan hadn't allowed it, she would have cursed.

It’s all that bitch from Xiyuan who made her young lady look like this.

Xin Ruxuan just sat quietly, waiting for Qiu Miao to insert the last jade hairpin into her head, then stood up, "Let's go and say hello to mother."

"Yes." The two maids agreed obediently. .

When they arrived at Mother Lu's yard, Xin Ruxuan discovered that Yang Xueer was there, and she made Mother Lu laugh non-stop.

Seeing Xin Ruxuan, Yang Xueer was in a good mood and stepped forward to salute, "I've met sister."

Before Xin Ruxuan could say anything, Mother Lu took care of her first, "Okay, you are pregnant now. We are a family now. From now on, No need to be polite. "

"Yes." Yang Xueer responded with a smile, and smiled proudly at Xin Ruxuan before slowly returning to her seat.

Xin Ruxuan looked at it and felt cold in her heart.

She and Lu Jingfeng were destined by her parents. According to the matchmaker, she and Lu Jingfeng only met twice before they got married.

I can’t say I like it, at least I don’t hate it.

After getting married, she originally planned to live a good life with Lu Jingfeng, but two months after getting married, Lu Jingfeng's original temperament was revealed. Not only did he like to tease the maids in the mansion, but he also liked to stay in the flower house from time to time.

The more she made trouble, the more Lu Jingfeng went too far. In the end, she was heartbroken, and her relationship with Lu Jingfeng was only about face.

Two years ago, when Lu Jingfeng proposed that she wanted to travel around, she was happy because she didn't have to pretend to be a harmonious couple with Lu Jingfeng for the sake of Lu's mother.

Unlike her indifference towards Lu Jingfeng, Xin Ruxuan really regarded Lu's mother as her own biological mother.

Mother Lu has a good nature. She gave her the right to be the head of the family the day after she got married. She also supported her in front of everyone and taught her how to run the family.

Normally, Mother Lu would not let her set rules. She would give her any good things as soon as possible, which moved Xin Ruxuan very much.

Yinbi has reciprocated the favor in the past two years. As long as there is something delicious and fun, she will prepare a copy for Mother Lu. If she is free, she will always come to Mother Lu to chat with her.

As long as Lu Jingfeng is not mentioned, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law always talk happily.

It can be said that apart from not liking the husband she married, Xin Ruxuan is very satisfied with the Lu family. In the past two years, she has regarded the Lu family as her second family.

Now seeing Mother Lu caring so much about Yang Xueer, Xin Ruxuan felt uncomfortable.

It turns out that no matter what she does, she can't compare to her biological son.

No, even the unborn grandson cannot compare.

The thought of getting divorced came to mind again last night. Xin Ruxuan made an excuse and left in a hurry.

Looking at Xin Ruxuan's back as if she was running away, Yang Xueer said in her heart that her dissatisfaction was a lie. She slowly finished the meal with Mother Lu, took the tonics given by Mother Lu, and returned to Xiyuan in a swaggering manner.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Mother Lu asked the nanny beside her to help her back to the inner room. She was still thinking about what else in the warehouse was suitable for making baby clothes.

The nanny next to her couldn't help but said, "Madam, the young lady just said she wasn't feeling well. Do you think she could send a doctor to take a look?"

After all, she was her daughter-in-law who had been with her for two years. Mother Lu nodded, "Then. Let the doctor in the house take a look."

Mother Lu had completely different attitudes towards Yang Xue'er and Xin Ruxuan. Auntie felt a little aggrieved for her young mistress, "Madam, after all, she is just a concubine. If you act like this, you will chill the young lady's heart. Of course Mother Lu knew, but Yang Xueer was pregnant with the flesh and blood of her precious son, so how could she not be happy.

Grandma was still trying to persuade her, "The young master has been away for two years, and now he has not only brought back a concubine, but also a child. It is right for the young lady to be angry. Whose wife wants the eldest son of a concubine to be born before her?"

Lu The mother was also helpless. She knew her son's temperament. She didn't agree with Lu Jingfeng to go out in the first place. It was Xin Ruxuan who insisted on persuading her, so she reluctantly agreed. Although she felt sorry for Xin Ruxuan in this situation now, there was nothing she could do about it.

Mother Lu sighed quietly, "I don't know when my life will end. Now I finally have a grandson. What can I do?"

"I also know that Xuan Niang has been wronged. You go She warned Erlang not to neglect Xuan Niang. After all, no matter how good a concubine is, he cannot compare to his legitimate grandson. "

What she can do now is to restrain Lu Jingfeng and let Xin Ruxuan get there as soon as possible. Conceive a child.

After her master had finished speaking, Grandma did not dare to say anything more and quietly waited for Mother Lu to go to bed.

Xin Ruxuan had made up her mind to reconcile, so naturally she would not let Lu Jingfeng get close to her again.

However, Lu Jingfeng had been out for two years, and he seemed to be a different person. He was much thicker-skinned, and he couldn't even see her face. He tried to get in front of her, and he even said that a little goodbye is better than a newlywed. , after going out, he realized how good she was, and it was not too late to make up for it now.

When Xin Ruxuan heard this, she felt sick and wanted to vomit.

Don’t think that she doesn’t know that this man’s words sound nice. In fact, his moral character has not changed at all. When Yang Xueer had no time to take care of him, she caused trouble to all the pretty maids in Xiyuan.

If she wasn't afraid of making too much noise, she would have wanted to beat him out with a stick.

While Xin Ruxuan was thinking of countermeasures, the news that she was unwilling to have sex with her husband spread out from unknown sources, and it soon reached Mother Lu's ears.

Xin Ruxuan was called over, and her mother Lu was obviously concerned but secretly accused her of being unkind. She was completely confused.

Not only that, she was even "invited" by Mother Lu, which was something that had never happened before.

When Xin Ruxuan stood at the door of Mother Lu's yard with a blank look on her face, she met a pair of gloating eyes.

Yang Xueer walked a few steps quickly and arrived in front of Xin Ruxuan. Her words were full of ridicule, "Oh, what happened to sister? She was kicked out by the madam? How pitiful."

Qiu Ya next to her was so angry that she just wanted to scold her. He was stopped by Xin Ruxuan who came back to his senses.

Looking at the beautifully dressed Yang Xueer, Xin Ruxuan twitched her lips. It was because she was usually too polite that she thought of stepping on her head.

"When will it be an aunt's turn to care about my mother's affairs? In the final analysis, Aunt Xue is just a servant. Don't think that after being praised for a few days, you will forget your duty as a servant."

"You..."

Xin Ruxuan's words on the left and the right are on the right. Yang Xueer's face was twisted with anger. She was about to speak, but Xin Ruxuan blocked her back.

"By the way, it's been so long since Aunt Xue came in, and I, as the elder sister, haven't given any gifts yet. I'll ask the maid to go to the warehouse to pick up a few things and send them to Xiyuan as a token of my sister's gratitude. After all, Xue When the child in my aunt's belly is born in the future, she will have to call me mother."

" Aunt Xue should keep her peace, otherwise I don't mind drinking a few more cups of tea, and I think my husband agrees. "

Xin Ruxuan glanced at Yang Xue'er's belly, then took Qiu Ya and walked away happily, leaving Yang Xue'er half-dead with anger.

After a long while, looking at Yang Xue'er's gloomy face, the maid behind her said cautiously, "Auntie, we still have Go to Madam's? "

Yang Xueer slapped her away, "Who do you think you are? You still dare to laugh at me, don’t think you can ride on my head by climbing into your husband’s bed. "

Don't think that she didn't see the ridicule in the maid's eyes. She couldn't deal with Xin Ruxuan, but she can still deal with a maid.

The little maid covered her face and lowered her head, putting away her little thoughts.

Look at the maid behind her to be honest. Only then did Yang Xueer let her go, sullenly staring in the direction Xin Ruxuan was leaving.

Having been in the world for many years, she naturally knew that men were unreliable, let alone a rich and powerful playboy like Lu Jingfeng.

However, among the men she has met over the years, there are very few men she likes who can redeem her life. Lu Huxing is more to her liking, so she grabs Lu Jingfeng regardless .

After following Lu Jingfeng, she found that this kind of life without worrying about food and drink was what she wanted, so she would do whatever it took to stay with Lu Jingfeng.

She was not stupid and would not let a man go. Take it seriously in bed, all she wants is status.

She thinks she is no worse than Xin Ruxuan. She loses because she does not have a good identity. This is something she has determined when she comes to the Lu family.

She will never accept her fate. She will naturally get what she wants.

Even if that woman threatens her with the child in her belly,

Yang Xueer smiled slightly, "Let's go in. "

One day, she will get everything she wants.

When Yang Xueer's belly was three months old, Mother Lu couldn't wait to ask the doctor to come back.

After hearing that all the doctors said it was a male fetus, Mother Lu couldn't wait to see her. As soon as she was happy, she held a banquet and invited most of the wealthy people in the city to attend.

Although Xin Ruxuan felt uncomfortable, she still organized the banquet dutifully, which made the two maids half-dead with anger,

especially Yang Xueer. When saying thank you, the two maids wanted to beat him out with a broom, but Xin Ruxuan stopped her.

Xin Ruxuan really felt that it didn't matter, as long as Mother Lu was happy, it was just a waste of money.

Although she comforted herself like this, At the banquet, looking at Yang Xueer sitting in the place that should belong to her, and seeing Yang Xueer coaxing Mother Lu to be happy, Xin Ruxuan couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart.

Two years of companionship is still not as good as that of an unborn child. Grandson.

Xin Ruxuan sat blankly, and suddenly someone said, "I heard that Mrs. Lu plans to send this child under the name of Mrs. Lu?

Named. "

The ladies who heard this looked at each other, but soon smiled and congratulated Xin Ruxuan.

Looking at the sympathetic or pitiful eyes of the ladies, Xin Ruxuan twitched the corners of her lips, unable to pretend any longer, and said sorry to everyone. , hurriedly ran out of the seat.

Facing the cold wind, Xin Ruxuan walked aimlessly in the garden alone.

As she walked, Xin Ruxuan sobbed. She had lost her mother since she was a child. She had really lost her mother in the past two years. Mother Lu was treated as if she were her biological mother.

Mother Lu was in poor health. She consulted famous doctors and collected precious medicinal materials. Even though she had never believed in Buddhism before, she went to pray to God every once in a while, just to protect Mother Lu's health. good.

Now it seems that she is not her biological child after all. No matter how much she does, she can't warm Mother Lu's heart that only has her own flesh and blood.

She ran into a warm embrace, and the strange man's breath hit her nostrils. Xin Ruxuan woke up, took a few steps back, saw the person clearly, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen you, brother."

She had seen the man in front of her before. At the family dinner years ago.

The two brothers of the Lu family are divided into different clans. The man in front of them is Lu Jingzhe, the eldest son of the uncle of the Lu family next door, Lu Jingfeng’s cousin.

Not long after she got married, she heard Lu's mother say that the Lu family had ancestral precepts that only one of the descendants could pursue an official career, while the rest would be engaged in business.

Since her father-in-law, Lu Jingfeng’s father, has become an official, the uncle of the Lu family can only do business.

Xin Ruxuan raised her eyes. The two families were close to each other. Although they didn't have much contact, she had also heard about this real young master from Lu.

Lu Jingzhe started business with his father at the age of twelve, and became the leader of the Lu family at the age of sixteen. Under his hands, the Lu family's shops were almost spread across all major state capitals.

The most important thing is that Lu Jingzhe is twenty-three this year, but still not married.

Lu Jingzhe quietly looked at the red eyes of the person in front of him and clenched his fists. He knew why Xin Ruxuan was crying.

As Lu Jingfeng's cousin, Lu Jingzhe naturally sat at the same table as Lu Jingfeng, and also heard the compliments of the young masters to Lu Jingfeng.

Everyone congratulated Lu Jingfeng on getting a legitimate son, but the protagonist today was clearly his pregnant aunt.

What did Lu Jingfeng think of her! ?

Lu Jingzhe's anger couldn't help but rise when she thought that her cousin didn't know how to cherish her.

Seeing that Lu Jingzhe's face turned ugly, Xin Ruxuan was about to speak when Qiu Ya's voice came from behind, "Young Madam?"

People saw her walking to the male guest's side, and she couldn't say anything after opening her mouth. Qing Dynasty, Xin Ruxuan and Lu Jingzhe confessed, picked up their skirts, and returned to the inner courtyard along the corridor.

Lu Jingzhe closed her eyes in pain as she watched Xin Ruxuan's back disappear around the corner.

was a step late, and he could only watch her marry someone else and become his younger brother and sister-in-law.

But now he discovered that she was not having a good life.

For the first time in his life, Lu Jingzhe hated his own powerlessness so much.

Lu Jingzhe was immersed in his own emotions and did not notice that this touch was captured by a pair of eyes.

Xin Ruxuan was sick. It was a heart attack and she almost couldn't get out of bed.

Mother Lu would come occasionally, but she only sat there for a while before being persuaded to go back by the nanny next to her because she was afraid of getting over her illness.

And Lu Jingfeng didn’t show his face even once.

The one who came most frequently was Yang Xueer, who kept her stomach full every day, under the guise of caring about Xin Ruxuan, and secretly thinking about how to seize the right to be the head of the family.

Xin Ruxuan has followed Xin's father since she was a child and has met many people. From the first moment she saw Yang Xueer, she saw the greed hidden in her eyes.

Since Yang Xueer wanted it and she was really tired of seeing her face that was always smiling, Xin Ruxuan took advantage of Mother Lu's presence and asked the maid to pack up the account books and keys and gave them directly to Yang Xueer.

Mother Lu didn't agree at first, but seeing that Xin Ruxuan really didn't care about the family affairs, and Yang Xueer took care of things in an orderly manner, she agreed to let Yang Xueer take care of the house for a while.

Just after Xin Ruxuan recovered from her illness, Yang Xueer pretended to hand over the account book and keys, saying that she was giving them back to Xin Ruxuan. Xin Ruxuan pretended to be confused and had no intention of getting back the housekeeping rights.

Later, when she was really annoyed with Yang Xueer and Xin's father fell ill, Xin Ruxuan told her mother Lu and took Qiu Ya back to her parents' house to stay for a few days and hide away for a few days.

When Xin's father recovered from his illness, he wanted to drive Xin Ruxuan back to the Lu family. Xin Ruxuan couldn't laugh or cry, but she still agreed to go back to the Lu family.

came out of home, it was already Shen time.

Xin Ruxuan was not happy to go back so early, so she took Qiu Ya to walk around on the street.

Since marrying into the Lu family, apart from occasionally visiting stores, she hasn't gone shopping for a long time, so as soon as she was free, Xin Ruxuan bought a lot of things.

Really tired from walking, Xin Ruxuan entered a teahouse, while Qiu Ya went out to look for a sedan chair.

"Brother and sister?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Xin Ruxuan turned around and saw Lu Jingzhe standing at the door of the teahouse.

Xin Ruxuan was stunned, and then called out, "Brother."

Lu Jingzhe stepped in, sat opposite her, and glanced at her slightly red face, "Brother and sister, why are you here?"

Xin Ruxuan pursed her lips, "I just came back from my parents' house and was about to go back to the Lu family."

"I just have to visit my second aunt in a while. I'll take you back later."

"No need..."

Xin Ruxuan hasn't finished speaking yet. He was interrupted by Lu Jingzhe, "Are you hungry? There are some good dim sums in this teahouse, why don't you try them?"

"I..." Xin Ruxuan looked at Lu Jingzhe's hopeful eyes, hesitated for a while, or Agree, "Okay, thank you so much, brother."

Lu Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief and asked the waiter to bring something. While talking to the waiter, he looked at Xin Ruxuan who was drinking tea from a teacup, and his eyes darkened. dark.

He wished that the time he spent with her could go slower.

Xin Ruxuan finally ate a lot of snacks and drank water on the way back.

Back in the yard, Qiu Ya wanted to have a meal prepared, but Xin Ruxuan refused.

She is full of tea now and really doesn’t want to eat anymore.

Qiu Miao came over to help Xin Ruxuan undress, "The young lady has been away these days, and Aunt Xue has sent people here several times, saying that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner next month, and she wants to ask the young lady how to organize it."

Xin Ruxuan just nodded, she He knew what Yang Xueer wanted to do, it was just to make her a victim again.

For more than a month, there was no falsification in the account books, which was enough for Yang Xueer to understand clearly that although the Lu family looked glamorous, they had only been unable to get in or out in the past two years, and the house could barely maintain normalcy, paying Lu family every month. The money my mother paid for the medicinal materials was her own dowry.

When she greeted Lu's mother just now, she heard that Lu's father would come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and also invited the Lu Jingzhe family next door. Yang Xueer wanted to win Lu's father's favor, so the banquet must be beautiful, so the money needed That’s quite a few.

Yang Xueer didn’t want to pay out of her own pocket, so she would definitely come to her place to show her courtesy and coax her into giving her money.

Even if Xin Ruxuan still regarded this place as her home in the past, she would not stupidly make wedding clothes for others.

"Go ahead, I'm not feeling well these days, and don't let anyone in who is not important come in."

"Yes." Qiu Miao responded very simply.

"Also, let Qiu Ya put away those jewelry."

"Yes."

Seeing the confusion on Qiu Miao's face, Xin Ruxuan said nothing and just stared at the drawer of the dressing table.

There are the books written by her and Li.

Father Lu returned home on the afternoon of August 14th.

Knowing that Father Lu didn’t like her, Xin Ruxuan didn’t go to pay her respects until the morning of the 15th.

As soon as she entered, before she could speak, Father Lu angrily scolded her.

Xin Ruxuan lowered her head and listened quietly.

If it was the same as two years ago, she would have stopped caring.

Anyway, from Lu’s father’s point of view, she was born in a merchant family, and being able to marry Lu Jingfeng meant she was a member of the Lu family.

I just heard the last thing, Lu's father said that she had been married for two years, but she still didn't do anything for him, and even drove her husband out, obviously to destroy him as the heir to the Lu family.

Xin Ruxuan pursed her lips. Father Lu just came back last night, but he knew so clearly. He also thought he knew who made the complaint.

Xin Ruxuan looked up and saw Mother Lu's evasive eyes, and smiled to herself.

Sure enough, two years of companionship is still not as good as the love between a parent and a child.

However, she was as calm as water now. Listening to Father Lu's words, she felt like she heard a dog barking in her ears.

After some training and an order to Xin Ruxuan that she must sleep with Lu Jingfeng, Father Lu let Xin Ruxuan go.

When Xin Ruxuan came out, she happened to meet Yang Xueer who had just entered the yard.

Her ears were still buzzing, and she didn't want to talk to Yang Xueer, so she took Qiu Yaqiu Miao and walked along another road.

Seeing Xin Ruxuan's back as if she had "fleeed", Yang Xueer smiled proudly, "Young lady of the Lu family, you are not at my mercy."

The maid behind asked timidly, "Auntie, are we really Do you want to do this? "

"What? Do you pity her?" Yang Xueer proudly touched the jade bracelet on her hand, which was given to her by Father Lu when she went to pay her respects last night. "As long as I become the young lady of the Lu family, I will be happy. Your benefit."

"Yes." The maid responded, looking up at Yang Xueer and then lowering her head. She really didn't think there was anything good about the Lu family after following her aunt as the housekeeper for so long.

In her opinion, if nothing else, Mrs. Lu's illness is a bottomless pit.

It’s just that my aunt only sees the scenery in front of her.

Yang Xueer touched the hairpin on her head, glanced at the direction Xin Ruxuan left, and smiled disdainfully. After tonight, she will be a real young lady.

"Let's go, let's go pay respects to our parents."

Xin Ruxuan had no idea of ​​the conspiracy that awaited her at the evening banquet. She came back after breakfast and secretly returned to her parents' home with Qiu Ya Qiu Miao.

made a dress for his father, and chatted with his father. It was a very pleasant time.

If it weren’t for Qiu Ya’s reminder, she wouldn’t have remembered there was a banquet in the evening.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xin Ruxuan returned to the Lu family, put on some clothes casually, and asked Qiu Ya to put away the things Xin's father had given her, and hurried away with Qiu Miao.

The banquet was held in the outer courtyard, and not many people were invited. They were just people who came to fawn upon Lu's father after hearing his return, so the male guests were on one side and the female guests on the other.

When Xin Ruxuan arrived, almost everyone came.

The seat arranged for her by Yang Xueer was in the front. Xin Ruxuan glanced at Yang Xueer who was nestling next to Mother Lu. She had no intention of going to the front and randomly found a seat in the back to sit down. Unexpectedly, there was an acquaintance sitting next to her, "Auntie. "

The person Xin Ruxuan called uncle, Lu Jingzhe's mother, smiled at her, "Ms. He walked next to Lu Jingzhe's mother and said, "Now that someone has fulfilled my filial piety, I won't go up and disturb others."

Lu Jingzhe's mother frowned and looked at Lu's mother in front of her. Ever since Lu Jingzhe took over the family affairs, she He traveled around with Lu Jingzhe's father and was rarely at home, so he didn't know much about his second uncle's family.

She only met Xin Ruxuan four or five times, but Xin Ruxuan gave her the impression that she was a good girl who had a measure of progress and retreat.

gave Xin Ruxuan a piece of food. Lu Jingzhe's mother patted Xin Ruxuan's hand and said in a low voice, "If you are not happy, just come to my aunt and she will make the decision for you."

Xin Ruxuan was a little surprised. Apart from her father, this was the first time anyone wanted to support her, and it would be a lie to say they were not touched.

She nodded to Aunt Lu, "Thank you, Auntie, but you don't have to worry about me, I have my own plans."

Lu Jingzhe's mother patted her hand. She was a good girl, but her nephew didn't know how to cherish it. .

Lu Jingzhe had always been paying attention to his mother, so he naturally saw Xin Ruxuan and saw Xin Ruxuan chatting happily with his mother. He lowered his eyes, with emotions rolling in his eyes.

The voice of his father came to his ears. Lu Jingzhe quickly put away his emotions and returned to his expressionless face.

All this fell into the eyes of Yang Xueer, who was sitting in front. She winked at the maid behind her, and the maid nodded and retreated.

Suddenly there was a noise from the opposite side. Xin Ruxuan looked up and saw only the back of Lu Jingzhe hurried away.

She didn’t think much, and ate a lot of food at Aunt Lu’s invitation, and finally drank half a bowl of the sweet soup presented by the maid at the end.

Originally, she planned to chat with Uncle Lu again, but she found that the more she sat there, the hotter she became. She told Uncle Lu and left with Qiu Miao.

As soon as the evening breeze blew out of the yard, the heat in my heart went away a lot.

asked Qiu Miao to go back to celebrate the festival with Qiu Ya and the others, and Xin Ruxuan walked slowly back to the yard along the path.

When passing by the garden, Xin Ruxuan saw a dark figure approaching from the corner of her eye. She was about to turn around to see clearly, but suddenly her eyes went dark and she fell unconscious.

Xin Ruxuan felt very hot, as if there was a fire burning in her heart. She tugged on her clothes randomly, and suddenly a fiery body came close to her and pressed on her.

wanted to struggle in her heart, but the fire in her heart grew stronger and stronger, burning away her reason. Xin Ruxuan was completely defeated.

Lu Jingfeng kept yelling "bitch" louder and louder in her ears. Xin Ruxuan came back to her senses and was about to scold him angrily, but her eyes widened the moment she raised her head.

She originally thought that Lu Jingfeng drugged her because she had never agreed to having sex.

As a result, she discovered now that the person lying next to her turned out to be Lu Jingzhe.

Xin Ruxuan was still in shock, but Lu Jingfeng was already staring at her fiercely, "Whore, no wonder you have to let me touch you. It turns out that you can't bear the loneliness and hang out with him."

After saying that, Lu Jingfeng The wind turned to Lu Jingzhe again and said, "Lu Jingzhe, I treat you as my elder brother, but you sleep with my wife, are you still a human being?"

"Second brother, I..." Lu Jingzhe put on a single coat and was thinking about it. He opened his mouth to explain, but Lu Jingfeng rushed forward and punched him.

The two men soon struggled with each other.

Xin Ruxuan opened her mouth, but found that all the words were stuck in her throat. When she became anxious, her eyes turned black and she fell on the bed.

When Xin Ruxuan woke up again, she found that it was already dawn and she was in her boudoir. Her father was sitting by the bed, looking at her with worry.

Seeing her waking up, Xin Rong hurriedly stepped forward, "Xuan Niang, you're awake."

"Daddy..." For some reason, Xin Ruxuan's tears couldn't stop flowing when she saw her father.

Xin Rong quickly stepped forward to wipe her tears, "Don't worry, as long as dad is here, dad will not let you suffer any more injustice."

"Dad..."

Xin Rong was very angry, "Dad already knows. It's dad's fault. He let you marry Lu Jingfeng without finding out, and suffered so many grievances. "

"Now you have nothing to do with the Lu family. Daddy will take you out of here in two days. "

Xin Rong said all kinds of things, and Xin Ruxuan stopped crying.

Seeing that Xin Ruxuan's mood had stabilized, Xin Rong asked Qiu Yaqiu Miao, who was guarding outside, to come in and serve her.

After dinner, Xin Ruxuan wanted to ask her father how he solved the Lu family's problem, but the two maids kept silent about it.

Xin Ruxuan wanted to mention what happened that day, but Xin Rong blocked her.

It was not until Xin Rong left with Xin Ruxuan and settled in Jiangcheng that Qiu Ya told Xin Ruxuan what happened that day under Xin Rong's instructions.

The scuffle between Lu Jingfeng and Lu Jingzhe soon alerted Lu's father and mother Lu. As soon as Lu Jingfeng said that they had caught her and Lu Jingzhe in bed, Lu's mother fainted on the spot, and Lu's father was livid. .

Lu Jingfeng wanted to divorce her, but he didn't know what Xin Rong said to Lu's father when he rushed there that day. Lu's father agreed, and the two reconciled.

It was only later that Xin Ruxuan learned from her father that all her dowry had been given to the Lu family, and Xin Rong also gave another one hundred thousand taels of silver, so Lu's father agreed to suppress the matter.

Thinking of Xin Rong's haggard appearance now, Xin Ruxuan's heart ached. If it weren't for her, why would her father be in such a mess?

Suddenly remembering the dark shadow she saw that day, Xin Ruxuan shouted, "Qiu Ya."

Qiu Ya came in quickly, "Miss?"

"Go and check..."

Explain everything, Xin Ruxuan said quietly Look out the window quietly.

She has never been a temperless person. Since someone has tricked her into such a situation, she will always retaliate.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xin Ruxuan has adapted to life in Jiangcheng.

Afraid that she would think too much, Xin Rong gave her the management of all the shops in the city. Xin Ruxuan thought that she could take care of her father's worries, so she naturally agreed.

However, she did not forget to keep people staring at Yang Xueer.

A month ago, Yang Xueer persuaded Lu's father to agree to take Lu Jingfeng and others to Longcheng. Now the "family" is reunited.

had been paying attention to them, and Xin Ruxuan found out that Lu's father had been an official outside for many years and had already taken many concubines. The eldest bastard was only one year younger than Lu Jingfeng.

In the past, Xin Ruxuan might still feel sorry for Mother Lu, but now, she just treats it as a joke.

Qiu Miao walked in and hesitated, "Miss..."

Xin Ruxuan stopped writing, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Miao said bravely, "Master Lu is here and is talking to the master in the hall."

Xin Ruxuan was stunned, Lu Jingfeng is here?

She then realized that if Lu Jingfeng came, her father would have someone beat him out immediately.

Having followed Xin Ruxuan for many years, Qiu Miao naturally understood the confusion on Xin Ruxuan's face, "It's Mr. Lu Jingzhe."

In business dealings, the master was seriously ill two years ago, and it was Mr. Lu who sent him the doctor.”

"I understand." Although Lu Jingzhe was her father's savior, the person Xin Ruxuan didn't want to see the most right now was him.

Seeing that her young lady did not want to mention Lu Jingzhe, Qiu Miao changed the subject wisely, "My servant has already sent money to Aunt Hu according to your instructions, young lady."

"Yes." Xin Ruxuan nodded lightly and continued to look down at the account book in her hand. .

Yang Xueer followed to Longcheng. She knew very well what her intention was. Since Yang Xueer wanted to be rich, she would help her.

How can being Lu Jingfeng's wife be compared to being Lu's father's concubine? After all, Lu's father is still a prefect, he is not very old, and his official career is going smoothly. He might be promoted one day.

I just don’t know how many tricks Yang Xueer can take on Father Lu’s aunts.

"I'll tell you later, I'm going to have dinner with daddy."

Business is too busy, and Xin Rong has formed a habit of never eating on time. Only when Xin Ruxuan is watching, can he eat well.

"Yes."

"By the way, add an extra pickled fish." For some reason, Xin Ruxuan likes eating sour things recently.

"Yes, I will give you the order in a moment."

Xin Ruxuan touched her belly in a daze.

In the morning, she only had two mouthfuls of porridge and she felt nauseous. Xin Rong saw that her face was really ugly, so she quickly sent for a doctor.

As a result, a pulse showed that she was more than two months pregnant.

Xin Ruxuan knew who it was without even thinking.

Three months after Lu Jingfeng came back, she had never slept with him. The only time was that night in Zhongqiu.

Xin Ruxuan’s heart was confused.

Xin Rong was sitting with Lu Jingzhe who came after hearing the news. He was puzzled by the anxiety in Lu Jingzhe's eyes.

In his opinion, Xin Ruxuan had suffered so many grievances in the Lu family, and he did not want to see anyone from the Lu family, especially when Lu Jingzhe later got involved with Xin Ruxuan. However, Lu Jingzhe saved his life, and he was not good Turn people away.

Lu Jingzhe is also knowledgeable. He visits occasionally and only talks about business matters.

He has never seen this rush today.

Lu Jingzhe naturally knew what Xin Rong was thinking, but he couldn't care about that much now.

Originally, he planned to just stay by her side quietly, and then slowly approach her after Xin Ruxuan forgot those things.

But now, Xin Ruxuan was pregnant, and he had to change his plan.

"Uncle Xin, can you let me see Xuan...Miss Xin?"

Xin Rong didn't want to agree, but Lu Jingzhe kept begging, so Xin Rong could only agree.

As for the child in Xin Ruxuan's belly, in his opinion, it could only be Lu Jingfeng's.

Xin Rong felt that what Lu Jingfeng said that day was a frame-up. He knew his daughter's temperament well, and Xin Ruxuan was not a womanly person.

Xin Ruxuan had no plans for the child in her belly when she saw Lu Jingzhe appear and was startled, "Why are you here?"

"I..." Lu Jingzhe looked at her deeply, without saying that they had just arrived. Jiangcheng, he followed on the back foot.

"What are you going to do?"

Before Xin Ruxuan could react, what did Lu Jingzhe mean, she heard Lu Jingzhe say, "I invited Doctor Gao."

So he knew about her pregnancy, Xin Ruxuan His eyes widened, "You..."

Lu Jingzhe stared at her closely, "It's mine, right?"

Although it was a question, his words were affirmative.

Xin Ruxuan pursed her lips and could only nod.

This man heard what Lu Jingfeng said that day. When he went back and thought about it, he naturally knew what was going on.

Lu Jingzhe's face was filled with joy, "You... how about we get married?"

Tou married his former uncle again, how did this make outsiders think?

Lu Jingzhe could clearly see the meaning in Xin Ruxuan's eyes. He didn't want to force her, so he could only figure it out slowly.

"No matter what decision you make, I'll let you do it, but can you let me see you once in a while?"

Lu Jingzhe's posture was too low, and Xin Ruxuan couldn't bear to refuse.

"Okay."

11

After that day, Lu Jingzhe really stopped mentioning the marriage, and just often gave her things.

However, when Xin Ruxuan was three months old, she had severe vomiting. Lu Jingzhe bought the yard next door and sent his parents over. Lu Jingzhe’s mother made a lot of appetizing things, which made Xin Ruxuan My appetite has improved a lot.

Xin Ruxuan was originally worried that Lu Jingzhe's parents would dislike her, but she didn't expect that the two parents didn't mind her past at all. Aunt Lu even said that if she knew that Lu Jingzhe liked her two years ago, she would have sent someone to propose marriage. .

However, it is not too late now, I just feel sorry for Xin Ruxuan who has suffered so many grievances.

Since Xin Ruxuan doesn’t want to get married now, then she can leave Lu Jingzhe alone. He has been a bachelor for so many years anyway.

Aunt Lu really regarded Xin Ruxuan as her daughter. Even Lu Jingzhe was ranked behind, which made Xin Ruxuan very touched.

The two of them get along more and more harmoniously.

lived a comfortable life. If Lu Jingzhe hadn't mentioned it, Xin Ruxuan would have almost forgotten that Yang Xueer and the others existed.

Lu Jingzhe came to the door on the second day after returning from Longcheng. As soon as he saw Xin Ruxuan, he said, "My second aunt is dead."

Xin Ruxuan blinked and it took a long time to realize that Lu Jingzhe's second aunt was not Lu Mother, "How did you die?"

Although Mother Lu's illness is delicate, with the help of medicinal materials, it is not a problem to live for more than ten or twenty years.

Only then did Xin Ruxuan know that as early as a month ago, Yang Xueer gave birth to a daughter at full term. As soon as she was born, she couldn't wait to climb into Lu's father's bed, making Lu's mother faint. Finally, she couldn't get up, so she This is gone.

According to Yang Xueer's temperament, it was only a matter of time before she climbed into Lu's father's bed. Xin Ruxuan just made Aunt Hu more angry by letting her often show the jewelry given by "Father Lu" in front of Yang Xueer. Together with Yang Xueer's greed, naturally He would climb into Father Lu's bed.

But she didn’t expect that she would piss Mother Lu to death.

After two years of getting along, Xin Ruxuan no longer blames Mother Lu, but she also doesn’t want Mother Lu to die.

Knowing Xin Ruxuan's guilt, Lu Jingzhe sighed and held her in his arms, "It's not your fault, the real reason lies with Yang Xueer."

Xin Ruxuan looked up and quickly realized what she was doing.

Lu Jingzhe just said that Yang Xueer's child was born at full term, but when Yang Xueer first came to the Lu family, she was only two months pregnant. Now, the child in Yang Xueer's belly should be only nine months old.

Lu Jingfeng was plotted."

Yang Xueer climbed into Lu's father's bed, and Lu's mother was not that angry. As a result, the grandson who had the first pulse turned into a granddaughter, and it was not Lu Jingfeng's. Lu's mother was immediately furious. .

Lu Jingzhe said that Mother Lu's disdainful look made Xin Ruxuan stunned, "You seem to hate your second aunt."

Lu Jingzhe sneered, "It's disgust, my parents were almost separated by that woman. ”

The Lu family has an ancestral saying that if one person takes an official career, the others can only do business.

Lu Jingzhe's father, Lu Hui, is the eldest son. He was elected in the imperial examination in his early twenties. He is very talented, but he resolutely chose to go into business in order to marry Aunt Lu, who was a merchant.

None of the Lu family disagreed. Anyway, Lu Jingzhe’s father, Lu Wen, was still alive in his generation.

Unexpectedly, Lu’s mother, who was supposed to discuss marriage with Lu Jingzhe’s father, did not agree to marry Lu’s father. Instead, she drugged Lu Jingzhe’s father to force him to marry her.

If Lu Jingzhe’s father hadn’t chosen to jump into the river in the end, Lu’s mother would have succeeded.

Later, after Lu Jingzhe’s father married Lu Jingzhe’s mother, he rarely interacted with Lu’s father’s family except during New Year holidays.

Xin Ruxuan was silent. No wonder Lu Jingzhe's parents always liked to play outside. It turned out that they didn't want to see Lu's mother.

Lu Jingzhe smiled, "My parents went to Longcheng this time for the sake of other tribesmen."

As for his second uncle, he had no political achievements and was quite lustful. It was not bad for him to be a prefect.

This is good, he won’t have to give so much money to support his second uncle in the future. As for Lu Jingfeng, he didn’t pass the exam and said it was too early to become an official.

Just thinking of Lu Jingfeng, Lu Jingzhe squinted his eyes and sighed to the person in his arms, "I don't know when I can marry my wife?"

Lu Jingzhe's breath was in her ears, and Xin Ruxuan came back to her senses. She still In his arms, she quickly broke away from him.

Lu Jingzhe let go of her and just looked at her slightly bulging abdomen, "Maybe my child is born, so you can't call me daddy?"

Xin Ruxuan glared at him and walked back slowly.

didn't notice that since he brought his parents over, her father has turned a blind eye to him, which means that he has approved of him.

As for her, Xin Ruxuan touched her belly.

didn't even mention marriage, he just wanted her to marry him.

This man looks smart, but sometimes he doesn’t know what he is doing.

12

Xin Ruxuan finally agreed to marry Lu Jingzhe after giving birth to the child.

When she was giving birth to the baby, this man was crying beside her and kept saying that she would never give birth, which made Xin Ruxuan dumbfounded.

is already half born, how can she not give birth?

After pain all day and night, Xin Ruxuan gave birth to a son.

Lu Jingzhe didn't even look at the child. He handed the child over to his mother and concentrated on serving Xin Ruxuan.

Looking at Lu Jingzhe who was carefully feeding her water, Xin Ruxuan suddenly remembered that Aunt Lu had said that Lu Jingzhe had fallen in love with her three years ago.

"When did you first see me?"

Lu Jingzhe glanced at her silently, "In Tongcheng."

At that time, Xin Ruxuan went to discuss business with someone for the first time in order to share Xin Rong's worries, and that happened to be He also made an appointment with Lu Jingzhe to discuss other business matters.

At that time, Lu Jingzhe came in from the door and happened to see Xin Ruxuan coming down from upstairs with a bright smile on her face and her eyes sparkling.

Lu Jingzhe remembered her at a glance.

Later, after he met Xin Rong, Lu Jingzhe met Xin Ruxuan twice, but Xin Ruxuan was focused on business at that time and never noticed Lu Jingzhe.

When Lu Jingzhe learned that Xin Rong was seriously ill, he rushed around to find a doctor. Unexpectedly, Xin Rong was afraid that she would die before it was too late, so in order to properly arrange for Xin Ruxuan, she got her married.

When he hurried back, Xin Ruxuan had already married Lu Jingfeng.

Later, Lu Jingzhe chose to go away to do business.

Unexpectedly, when he came back again, he learned that she was not doing well.

At that time, he thought that she was spending her good years, how could he bear to let her wither beside his cousin, and before he could take action, she was sent to him.

From that moment on, he swore that even if he died, he would never let her go again.

After Xin Ruxuan and Lu Jingzhe got married, their life was like honey. If Lu Jingzhe hadn't mentioned Yang Xueer inadvertently, she would have almost forgotten that this person existed.

"The woman later got pregnant again. As a result, she was pushed and the child was lost. She will not be able to have another baby in the future. She was sold into a brothel by my second uncle."

Xin Ruxuan smiled, Yang Xueer had been begging for so long. Wealthy, after exhausting all his means, unexpectedly, he went round and round and returned to the starting point.

"As for my second brother, he flirted with a woman on the street, but his legs were broken. Now he is in a state of drunkenness."

Speaking of Lu Jingfeng, Lu Jingzhe also secretly observed Xin Ruxuan's expression.

Xin Ruxuan found it funny. She and he had children. This man is still often uneasy.

Don't say that she never liked Lu Jingfeng. Even if she did, it was already in the past, and he was the one she wanted to cherish now.

If she hadn't experienced so many things, how would she know that there was someone behind her, holding a hot heart, waiting for her all the time. (original title: "Women's Song: Xin Ruxuan")
