Chapter 20 Did Prince Lu deliberately take advantage of me?
Lu Ze heard this and said, "It wasn't you who caught the wolf and snitched that day? Was it Qin Yuli?"
Time passed, and Lu Ze only remembered that after being caught by the adults, Qi Yuning was the only one who was not punished.
Later, Lu Baozhu said that Qi Yuning was timid and went to the princess to tell the secret, and she would not play with Qi Yuning in the future.
At that time, Lu Ze only thought that Qi Yuning was timid and afraid to tell Princess Pingrou about the matter. He never thought that the informer was someone else.
Under the dim candlelight, Qi Yuning looked into Lu Ze's eyes and said, "So at that time, you all thought that the informer was me?"
"It's what Baozhu said." Lu Ze said, "It's true that I didn't verify it at that time."
Qi Yuning said coldly: "That idiot Lu Baozhu."
"Mother, what is an idiot?"
When Lu Ze heard Xiao Lingling's words, he glanced at Qi Yuning and said, "Princess Qi, be careful what you say."
Qi Yuning said: "Lu Baozhu has wronged me for 12 years. What else is he to be a fool? It just taught Lingling not to be a fool and wrong others..."
"Speaking of being wronged, hasn't Princess Qi ever done anything to wrong others?"
Qi Yuning felt guilty for no reason. The only person she had ever wronged was Lu Ze.
Qi Yuning hummed, "Lu Baozhu and I often argue and quarrel. Who told you to go to the queen to complain? If you hadn't complained first, I wouldn't have taken revenge on you."
Lu Ze said: "I have to study at that time, and I don't have time to deal with the grievances between you and Baozhu over and over again. Today I'm competing for the crown, tomorrow I'm competing for the hairpin, and the day after tomorrow I'm competing for the skirt.
Qin Yuli comes to me all day long to deal with the grievances and lawsuits between you. I will go to the queen to file a complaint. I will punish you by copying books so that you can remember it for a long time. "
Qi Yuning said, "I have a quarrel with Lu Baozhu, so you don't need to worry about it."
Lu Ze said: "If Qin Yuli hadn't come to me at that time, I wouldn't be willing to care about the grudges between you little girls."
Qi Yuning suddenly smiled.
Lu Ze suddenly smiled when he saw Qi Yuning and said, "What's wrong?"
Qi Yuning said: "Qin Yuli is looking for you all day long. Is it possible that she is looking for you and not because of my quarrel with Lu Baozhu?"
Lu Ze looked into Qi Yuning's eyes, lowered his head and saw that Lingling had fallen asleep at some point, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lingling is asleep."
Qi Yuning looked at Lingling and nodded lightly.
Lu Ze carefully moved his hand out of Lingling's little hand. He only moved halfway before Lingling woke up in a daze.
Xiao Lingling held Lu Ze's hand with one small hand and Qi Yuning's hand with the other. She put the two big hands together and pressed them with her small hand.
Qi Yuning felt numb all over for a moment. Lu Ze's palm was on the back of her hand, and warmth continued to spread.
When Qi Yuning was about to take his hand out, he saw Ling Ling move.
Then, her hand was held tightly by a big hand.
Lu Ze lowered his voice and said: "Princess Qi, you don't want to coax Lingling anymore, right?"
Qi Yuning only felt that her hands were numb, and she pretended to be calm and said: "Prince Lu, are you deliberately taking advantage of me through Lingling?"
Lu Ze stared at Qi Yuning, his eyes filled with the look of a gentleman.
Qi Yuning only felt that the back of his hand was getting hotter and hotter.
Lu Ze looked at Qi Yuning through the dim candlelight and said, "Actually, this is not the first time we have held hands. Has Sister Qi forgotten?"
Qi Yuning was only six years old when he was looking for wild wolves that night. How could he not be scared on the mountain at night? At that time, Lu Ze kept holding her hand tightly and did not let go until Lu Ze was punished.
Qi Yuning felt much less cramped when he recalled the past events of his childhood.
When Lingling fell asleep and moved her little hand away, Qi Yuning immediately took back her hand, which seemed to still have the residual warmth of Lu Ze's palm.
"Prince Lu, please go slowly. I won't see you off." Lu Ze stood up and said, "Princess Princess, please rest early."
When Lu Ze returned to the princess's mansion, he still felt the cool touch on the back of his hand. He looked at the palm of his hand and smiled.
When I was lying down and about to go to sleep, I saw the hosta that I hadn't had time to return.
Lu Ze put the hosta aside.
……
Lu Ze was woken up by Lu Baozhu early in the morning.
When Lu Baozhu came in, he said with a bit of schadenfreude: "Brother, brother, get up quickly. The Duke's Mansion invited five or six imperial doctors last night. I think that old woman may not be able to survive the Double Ninth Festival!"
Lu Ze saw Lu Baozhu gloating about his misfortune and scolded him: "Baozhu, that's our grandmother!"
Lu Baozhu hummed: "What kind of grandmother is she?"
Six imperial doctors were invited to the Duke's Mansion last night, and Lu Ze had no time to teach Lu Baozhu a lesson, so he hurriedly changed into clothes and went to the Duke's Mansion.
When Lu Ze went there, his second uncle and third uncle were waiting outside the house.
At dawn, Lu Ze asked, "Second uncle, third uncle, what happened to grandma? What did the imperial doctor say?"
Lu Baozhu looked at him helplessly: "Is grandma dying?"
Uncle Lu said helplessly: "Ze'er, after your father left yesterday, your grandmother fainted from anger. She finally woke up and said she wouldn't eat. Your grandmother's health is not good, and she refuses to take medicine. If you are willing to eat, your body and bones will not stop you!"
Lu Ze hurriedly entered Mrs. Lu's room.
Mrs. Lu said angrily: "Take it away, I won't take the medicine, and my children and grandchildren will be unfilial. What's the use of keeping these old bones?"
Mrs. Lu Er said anxiously: "Mother-in-law, you just want to shame us by saying this. How dare we be unfilial!"
Mrs. Lu Er was really suffocating in her heart. Her eldest sister-in-law was a princess, so although she did not have the name of the Duke's wife, she had to take charge of the entire Duke's mansion for her eldest sister-in-law.
My mother-in-law is a great person. After she got married, she didn't dare to disrespect her mother-in-law in the slightest. She was always filial and filial.
If the mother-in-law really passed away now, and this unfilial label was pinned on her children and grandchildren, wouldn't she die unjustly? Mrs. Lu said: "You are a good daughter-in-law. I have always wanted to find a virtuous wife of the Lu family for Ze'er. Ze'er..."
Lu Ze walked up to Mrs. Lu and said, "Grandma."
Lu Baozhu followed Lu Ze and cried loudly: "Grandma, don't die!"
Mrs. Lu frowned when she saw Lu Baozhu, held Lu Ze's hand tightly and said: "Ze'er, before your grandfather died, he always said that he would find you a virtuous, kind, gentle and caring crown prince wife. Ze'er, your crown princess has nothing to do with it. The entire Lu family.
I know that she is gentle and virtuous, and she saved my grandmother. I should repay my kindness to my grandmother. She is the one my grandmother has chosen..."
Lu Baozhu burst into tears again, and before Mrs. Lu could say the words "granddaughter-in-law", she squeezed Lu Ze away.
Lu Baozhu held Mrs. Lu's hand and said, "Grandma, please don't die. What will I do if you die?"
Mrs. Lu coughed twice. She was always afraid of people talking about death. She said angrily: "Lu Baozhu!"
Lu Baozhu's eyes lit up, "Ah, grandma, you are so angry when you speak? Then you won't die. That's great. It's great that you won't die! By the way, you haven't met your eldest brother yet. Your daughter is Lingling, right? Lingling is so cute, she looks exactly like me when I was a child. You will definitely like Lingling after seeing it! "
Mrs. Lu has hated Lu Baozhu since she was a child. Lu Baozhu has been a restless girl since she was a child. She has never learned the four female books that the Lu family's daughter should learn. She is arrogant all day long. For a cousin like this, it is very tiring. Got the sister down there.
The Lu family's daughters are now haircut, and there are very few people talking about marriage.
Mrs. Lu already disliked Lu Ze's daughter born from an affair with Qi Yuning, but she became even more disgusted when she sounded like Lu Baozhu.
Lu Baozhu said: "Grandma, how can Lingling's parents be separated? So my brother can only marry Princess Qi, but not the daughter of the Guan family! If you really think the daughter of the Guan family is good, why don't you let your son go? Marry me?"
Mrs. Lu Second and Mrs. Lu were both shocked, "Baozhu!"
Lu Baozhu smiled and said: "The Guan family's daughter saved you, can't the Lu family repay the favor with your own body? As your eldest son, my father should repay the kindness of saving your mother and marry Miss Guan."
