Chapter 40: 1,000 casualties
Chapter 40
Lu Songli had just arrived home, and before she had time to ask her mother about her father, her father arrived home at the other end.
"Dad, haven't you met the Queen Mother?"
"No, why do you ask that?"
Lu Songli then told her father what happened behind Changle Palace.
After hearing this, Lu Desheng's eyes were filled with joy. He wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said, "Fortunately, your father and I can run fast."
Lu Songli looked at her father suspiciously, saying such words could easily be misunderstood. First, the Queen Mother pretended to be in charge of the Qian Palace, looking like she was going to catch the adulterer aggressively, and then her father acted like the adulterer who had sneaked away...
Before they could continue, Mrs. Jiang shouted at them, "You two, father and daughter, haven't had dinner? Aren't you hungry?"
"Hungry!" the father and daughter said in unison. The two of them battled wits and courage with the big boss in the palace. They consumed a lot of money and were already hungry.
"Auntie, you are worried about us at home. Come on, let's have something together." Lu Songli personally served her mother half a bowl of minced meat porridge. This amount is just right for an old man of their age. If there is more, she will need it at night. Overeating.
"Okay, then I'll eat something with you." When the father and daughter returned safely, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved.
After Lu Desheng had eaten half full, he thought of the news that Wei Zili had just brought back from Changle Palace in Yuqian Palace, and he felt a little overwhelmed. He couldn't help but ask his little girl, "Ah Li, how did you know that you What’s the real condition of your body?”
He and his wife obviously never told her, could it be from the Xie family? Thinking about this guess, he couldn't help but his eyes turned cold.
Lu Desheng's words shocked Ms. Jiang. Did she mean what she thought? She looked at her husband first, and then looked at her little girl after seeing his serious expression.
Seeing the solemnity of her parents, Lu Songli touched her belly and put down the bowl helplessly, "Are you talking about the fact that I soaked in cold water for too long to save Xie Zhan and my body was too cold to give birth?"
When Jiang heard this, he quickly asked Lu Songli, "When did you know about it? How did you know about it?"
"Knowing it accidentally."
Lu Desheng and Jiang just thought she overheard them talking about this matter.
Lu Desheng sighed, feeling extremely worried, "You kid, you already knew it, why did you take it out as a weapon? Do you want us as parents to die from heartache?"
When Jiang heard this, she had a very bad premonition in her heart. She quickly asked, "The child's father, what do you mean by this?"
"Still not be honest?"
Sensing that her cheap dad was not in a good mood, Lu Songli had no choice but to tell her exactly what happened in Changle Palace.
At the end, Lu Songli asked curiously, "Dad, how do you know so clearly what happened in the Queen Mother's palace?" It was so timely, and she hadn't mentioned it before she came back.
Lu Desheng rolled his eyes at her, "You're heartless girl. Your father was worried about you when he was in Yuqian Palace, so the emperor sent someone to Changle Palace to find out the news."
"I see."
At this time, Mrs. Jiang came to her senses and raised her knife, slapped Lu Songli on the shoulder, and said bitterly, "You unlucky kid, why did you leave such an important matter to yourself? ”
Lu Songli bared her teeth and begged for mercy, "My dear mother, feed her gently. Your daughter is too delicate and delicate to withstand your iron palm."
"Didn't we agree before we set off? The worst we can do is lose our marriage to the Xie family, and we don't really want it anyway." Mrs. Jiang was really worried. Once her daughter's body was damaged and she couldn't have children, what if it happened again? If you break off your engagement with the Xie family, who else can you marry? Otherwise, it’s better to keep the Xie family alone? Thinking of this, Mrs. Jiang looked at her daughter.
Lu Songli seemed unaware and muttered, "At that time, if I didn't tell them, the Queen Mother would have given Xie Zhan and Zhao Yutan a beautiful marriage."
Jiang choked.
"Then I feel so aggrieved. This is also the reason why the Xie family has been silent and allowed the Zhao family to do whatever they want. How can I let them do what they want without knowing that our Lu family doesn't dare to show their cards?"
"You have injured the enemy a thousand times and suffered an injury of eight hundred to yourself."
"Then I think it's worth it. Mom and dad, the Xie family also knows this details about me." This was what she had guessed, otherwise in the original work, the original owner had no heirs and was never criticized by her husband's family. It seems that the Xie family is unreasonable in this regard.
Lu Songli's words left Lu Desheng and Jiang speechless. Yes, both Xie Zhan and his father knew about this. Whether Mrs. Xie knew about it or not is unknown.
Lu Songli felt that since this matter could not be kept secret in the end, it should be used to maximize benefits.
It has become an established fact that her body is damaged and she cannot have children. If this matter continues to be hidden, she and the Lu family will have to suffer this hidden loss. It is not cost-effective. Speaking out will become a weapon to constrain the Xie family and Zhao family. It can directly defeat the sympathy points that Zhao Yutan took away by committing suicide twice. As long as Zhao Yutan still marries Xie Zhan in the end, he will have to bear the stigma. Unless she really died, would Zhao Yutan be willing to do so?
Moreover, Lu Songli dared to be so arrogant, all because she dared to support herself. Now she also possesses the medical skills inherited from her family. Ahem, although her medical skills are not as good as those of her family members who practice medicine seriously in later generations, she is still confident in curing this body's extreme cold. When the time is right, she will start preparing herself the appropriate medicine to condition her body.
With Lu Songli's forgiveness, Ms. Jiang also figured it out, but she felt sad when she thought that her future marriage was destined to be bumpy.
Lv Songli could understand her mother's worries, but she couldn't say that the disease was nothing, just because her medical skills were not yet mature.
Seeing his daughter's nonchalant attitude, Lv Desheng also felt relieved. Forget it, things have come to this point, and the boat will naturally straighten out when the time comes.
"The Queen Mother is also confused." Jiang grumbled. Why did she intervene in this matter, knowing that the Xie and Lu families had been engaged for nearly ten years.
Lu Desheng hurriedly said, "The child's mother, be careful with your words."
Jiang rolled her eyes at him. She had cleared the servants out long ago, and there were only three of them left in the room. Otherwise, how could she dare to say such words.
"You said that the Queen Mother left in a hurry in the end, and no one knew why?" When mentioning this result, Jiang had all kinds of feelings in her heart, but more of it was torment. The knife was going to fall, and it was uncomfortable.
Lu Desheng touched his nose, "Maybe it has something to do with me."
Jiang and Lu Songli looked at him at the same time.
Lu Desheng hesitated and didn't say anything.
Lu Qingli was a person who was good at observing people's words and expressions. At this time, she stood up and said considerately, "Dad and Mom, I'm full. I'll go back to Xiaofeng Courtyard first. You guys eat slowly."
"Okay, you're tired today too. Go back and wash up and rest quickly."
Lu Songli had consumed a lot of physical and mental energy today. She returned to her yard, took a bath and lay down quickly.
