Five hundred and fortieth chapters take in children
Naturally, the fire could not be saved.
The eldest princess didn't know what was in the Zhuangzi, but Jiang Miao and Shen Yan knew clearly that the Zhuangzi was where Jiang Jiu was staying. When it suddenly caught fire, both of them felt nervous.
Will the child be okay?
After this incident, I can no longer stand the lanterns anymore.
The eldest princess also guessed from the emotions of Mrs. Lu and Jiang Miao that the Zhuangzi on fire was probably the one where Jiang Jiu lived. She could ignore the child these days, but she still learned the news about him inadvertently.
.
The eldest princess had a sullen face and was in a bad mood. The room was full of low pressure. The ladies no longer dared to talk loudly, and the smiles on their faces turned into nervousness.
Zhao Jing didn't know about Jiang Jiu's existence yet. Seeing the serious expressions of the eldest princess and Mrs. Lu, he thought they were worried about Lu Yuanshan, so he waved his hand to call Black Eagle.
"Go and lead a team of imperial guards to help Duke Lu put out the fire."
"I obey my orders."
Black Eagle followed the order, but it was too late for the eldest princess and Mrs. Lu to stop them. They looked at each other, and the eldest princess felt embarrassed and avoided her eyes.
Zhou was extremely excited. Now, what the old lady tried so hard to conceal would soon be exposed. When the emperor's people went over, they would naturally discover the illegitimate son of his eldest brother. By then, he would not be able to hide it even if he wanted to.
"Fortunately, the emperor is here, so the old lady doesn't have to worry about big brother..."
"Shut up!"
Mrs. Lu roared in a deep voice, Ms. Zhou was startled, her face turned red with embarrassment after being reprimanded in public, but thinking that the title of the Duke's mansion would soon fall into the hands of the second wife, Ms. Zhou's heart turned to pride again.
.
"Doesn't my wife feel sorry for my eldest brother..."
She looked at Old Mrs. Lu's angry face and gradually closed her mouth. This old immortal will naturally have ways to control her when she becomes a member of the Duke's Palace, so let her be arrogant for a few days now.
Mrs. Lu was disappointed in her heart. The last thing she should have done in her life was to marry this wife to her second son. The wife of a small official family is just not good enough. She acts recklessly and has a petty attitude. In addition, the Zhou family is greedy for power and has no ability to support it.
Death in this big mansion will only get worse.
Even for the sake of the Lu family, the Zhou family would never stay.
Mrs. Lu closed her eyes, tightened the crutch in her hand, and apologized to the eldest princess.
"Your Highness, I will give you an explanation for what happened today. If this idiot dares to leak a word, I will not let her go."
The people nearby looked at Mrs. Lu's solemn expression, and their hearts tightened. Could it be that what happened to the elder brother was serious?
The eldest princess helped her up and said, "I can't blame you for this. You don't have to do this."
Although she didn't know where Zhou got the news, the eldest princess could tell that she only knew a little bit, and she might even have gone astray.
At this point, the eldest princess no longer cares about her face. If she can blindly take a fancy to Jiang Zhe, her reputation has been ruined by half. Now being humiliated by him again is not a big deal.
Anyway, she has decided to make peace with her. If the things Jiang Zhe did are exposed, the world will only favor her more.
Mrs. Lu sighed and left with her family members. Zhou followed her cautiously. Her original pride turned into panic. The more she thought about it, the more unsure she felt.
Why is the eldest princess's attitude different from what she imagined?
Also, what kind of riddle was the old lady and the eldest princess playing just now? Why did she think that things in the suburbs of Beijing would not go as smoothly as she imagined?
Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the Lu family, the old lady became furious. Although Zhou was not divorced, she was deprived of her power as a housekeeper and was immediately grounded. She was not allowed to leave the yard again in the future.
This is no different from divorce.
Until now, Mrs. Zhou didn't know what mistake she had made. When Dalang and Niu Niu heard that their mother had angered the old lady, they both stayed away from Mrs. Zhou and didn't even plead for mercy.
Dalang, in particular, simply used his studies as an excuse to stay behind closed doors. Mrs. Zhou waited in the yard for a long time, unable to wait for a pair of children, and her heart dropped to the bottom of her heart.
Second Master Lu didn't care about him even more. He slept in flowers and willows all day long. Without the control of his wife, he felt free. He hung out with a few prostitutes every day and couldn't be happy at home.
Mrs. Lu saw it in her eyes and felt extremely disappointed.
The second wife was raised crooked from the ground up. Even if she wanted to be strong all her life, of the sons she gave birth to, only the eldest could take on the responsibility, while the others were mediocre.
If the Duke's Mansion wants to remain prosperous, it still has to rely on Lu Yuanshan.
Black Eagle led people over and quickly put out the fire.
Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing was located in a remote place, and there were few servants, let alone guards. The only two were because Jiang Jiu moved in, so Lu Yuanshan thought of sending people over to protect him.
During the Lantern Festival, every family set off firecrackers and fireworks. There were many children in the village, and the fireworks ignited the firewood, which caused the fire.
Lu Yuanshan originally wanted to deal with it quietly, but he never expected that the emperor would send someone here.
Black Eagle looked at the baby being held in the arms of his mother-in-law in the yard, and narrowed his eyes sharply.
"My lord, do you have anything to explain?"
Her Royal Highness the Princess is the most respected elder of her master. If Her Highness is wronged, his master will not forgive him lightly.
There was a child hidden in Lu Yuanshan's mansion. This was going to reach the ears of his master. Black Eagle sneered, even if the Lu family had a title, they would still be raped.
Lu Yuanshan pursed his lips, knowing that he could no longer hide this matter.
He dragged people into the house, leaving everyone else outside.
Most of the main house had been burned, and the beams were blackened. The two of them stood in the ruins. Lu Yuanshan told Black Eagle the whole story. When he heard the last part, Black Eagle burst into anger.
"Master Guo, are everything you said true? How dare Jiang Zhe!"
He couldn't bear to listen to any outsider. As a person involved, how angry should the eldest princess be?
"Absolutely true."
Lu Yuanshan nodded solemnly, this matter was related to Linlang's reputation, how could he cheat.
Telling Black Eagle was completely out of necessity, and he needed his help to hide what happened today.
"My subordinates know this and will report it to the Emperor when they return to the palace. But this child cannot stay here anymore..."
Nowadays, people in the capital are paying close attention to the matter between Lu Yuanshan and the eldest princess. If they know that Lu Yuanshan has hidden the child, they will definitely find it out. Then they won't be able to hide it even if they want.
The best way is to change the child's identity or send him back to the border.
It is impossible to send him back now, so we can only change his identity first.
Lu Yuanshan agreed to come down. He thought it was impossible, so he asked his subordinates to adopt him.
After all, he is Jiang Zhe's son. As long as he is alive, he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous.
But before Lu Yuanshan's plan was implemented, news came from Jiang Miao.
