"Madam, someone was really struck by lightning."
"It's a house in Ping'an Lane in the north of the city. It's said that the male owner was hacked."
"A month ago, someone spent a lot of money to buy a house. The lady was so charming, as if she had just given birth. Her daughter was only forty days old. She was born in the same year, month and day as our little lady. There is also an eldest son, who is said to be very good at reading. , quite famous in Beijing."
"Bangdang..." The tea cup in Xu's hand fell to the ground.
Crushed in response.
"Madam..." Jue Xia was startled when she saw that her hand had been burned, so she hurriedly brought cold water to soak it.
Xu, however, had no consciousness.
"You have... your eldest son? How old is he?" Her voice was dry, and she grabbed Juexia's hand, which made Juexia hurt.
Jue Xia didn't know why, but noticed that the lady's face was solemn, so she hurriedly said: "The eldest son is seventeen years old. He is the same age as Mr. Yanshu. This year is also seventeen... It is a coincidence that the young master is also named Lu."
Xu was struck by lightning.
Seventeen?
Xu's lips opened, her throat seemed to be stuck, and she couldn't say a word.
Dengzhi glared at Jue Xia and hurriedly stepped forward to reassure his wife: "Madam, it may not be the Marquis, it may not be the Marquis..." These words made her feel guilty.
Jue Xia and Ying Xue looked at each other, their expressions changing.
Jue Xia's face was even more pale. That young man's surname was Lu, Lu Jinghuai.
Xu took a deep breath and bit her lower lip, leaving a trace of blood.
"Why on earth is he? Why does he treat me like this? I broke up with my natal family for him, washed my hands and made soup for him, respected my mother-in-law for him, and raised my brothers and sisters in the house for him. Why does he treat me like this?"
She didn't even dare to think that maybe this was a scam from the beginning.
"His **** outside is already seventeen years old, seventeen years old!" Mrs. Xu felt chilled just thinking about it.
She gave up everything for this man, and he actually still has a family outside!
"Madam, it's not your fault, it's him who failed you. Don't be angry and hurt yourself." Dengzhi and several maids consoled him with red eyes.
Lu Chaochao sighed a little, her mother has been PUA for more than ten years, how pitiful she is.
"Madam, even God can't see this. Yesterday, I'm afraid it was the Marquis who was hacked." Juexia spoke hurriedly. Before, he was thinking of gossip, but now he sounded like he deserved it.
"God has opened his eyes and knows the grievances in Madam's heart. This is just to vent Madam's anger."
"Yesterday, the lightning strike was also a coincidence. As soon as the fox girl was born, she was in a hurry to seduce a man. It was clear and sunny, and it happened to strike the two of them on the bed. This white body, with nothing on, was all black. , when the neighbors came in, the vixen covered her face and screamed."
Xu's eyes widened, what a coincidence?
Jue Xia nodded: "I'm so embarrassed this time."
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and snorted coldly: "You deserve it!" But the unwillingness and grievance in her eyes could not be suppressed no matter what.
Hate?
She hates it.
How can I not hate it?
But ever since she was born, she has only had him in her eyes and in her heart, even severing ties with her natal family just to stay with him. She is unwilling to accept it. How should she cut it off?
"Madam, the Marquis has returned to his residence and is going to Deshan Hall. Please come over." The maid outside the door whispered back.
Xu frowned slightly and Denzhi raised his eyebrows.
I don't know what happened to Mr. Hou after he was struck by lightning.
"Bring Chao Chao, let's go and have a look." Mrs. Xu stood up and headed towards Deshan Hall.
Deshan Hall is located to the east of Zhongyonghou Mansion. The old lady likes to be quiet and built a Buddhist hall in the east courtyard. On weekdays, she does not listen to what is going on outside the window and only cares about worshiping the Buddha.
Going through the inner lake in Fuzhong and passing through the corridor, you will find Deshan Hall.
[Yeah, it smells like it's burnt. ] Xiao Chaochao shrugged his nose, and there was a faint smell of burning in the air.
The more you walk into Deshantang, the more intense it becomes. Yingxue happened to hold her upright, and Lu Chaochao glared at her: "What a big braised egg!" Suck it...] She also sucked the saliva hard.
Xu was stunned and suddenly looked up at the braised egg.
I saw a bald black head sitting in the middle, without a single hair. It was bald and burnt black.
The handsome and handsome man in her heart, the handsome young man who has always made it difficult for her to let go...
It seemed like it collapsed in an instant.
Xu was stunned on the spot and didn't even react for a while.
"Why don't you come in? What are you doing standing in the wind?" Sensing her gaze, the old lady scolded her for the first time.
Mrs. Xu's mind is filled with her daughter's exclamation, braised eggs, braised eggs, braised eggs…
She hated Lu Yuanze, but she had been brainwashed for many years, and she couldn't help but feel bad when she saw him. It's like being split into two people, half hating him and half loving him.
But now…
The heartache is gone, but my mind is filled with the lingering braised eggs.
Her eyelids trembled, and she walked in and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Marquis? Where's his hair? Did he have his head shaved by a ghost?"
[My mother is really good at touching people's hearts, she did a great job]
[Being a doormat is worse than going crazy and irritating the whole family]
Lu Yuanze's mouth sank: "There was a fire in Ping'an Lane. I went in to save people, but my hair was burned. It's nothing serious."
"I gave your Majesty a note, and I will rest in the mansion during this period."
Xu's eyebrows were slightly cold, saving someone?
You really know how to put gold on your face.
"Master is also in Ping'an Lane? What a coincidence. I heard that someone in Ping'an Lane was struck by lightning. It is said that the man and woman engaged in prostitution during the day and were struck so naked that everyone could see them. Is it possible that the master put out the fire? Which one is it?" Hearing her daughter's shouting, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but add another sentence.
Sure enough, Lu Yuanze's face was ashen and his fists were clenched tightly.
"You are a woman, what do you do when you listen to those things?"
Xu held the handkerchief and slightly curved the corners of her lips.
"It is being spread all over the capital that I am just a joke." This made the mother and son on the opposite side instantly darken their faces.
[Hehehehehe...]Xiao Chaochao smiled mischievously.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but **** up her ears. She could only occasionally hear her daughter's thoughts, so she couldn't help but pay close attention.
He and the outer room were hacked, their naked buttocks were exposed, and they did not dare to go back. Now the whole city is looking for him] Unfortunately, he covered his head when he ran and no one saw his face.
Ms. Xu frowned, which really offended her daughter's ears.
"You, just wait for Yuan Ze at home. He works hard for the Hou Mansion all year round and rarely rests. What's the use of a woman who doesn't know how to serve a man?" The old lady was a little unhappy when she heard Mr. Xu's ridicule.
"You are not allowed to contact your mother's family. It might be a crime of beheading." The old lady gave her a stern look.
Xu sat up straight.
"What do you think, Lord Marquis?" Xu looked at him faintly.
Lu Yuanze glanced at her: "Of course I feel sorry for my father-in-law's suffering, but His Majesty is furious, and no one dares to persuade him. I can only try my best to protect the Hou Mansion. Yun Niang, you are a sensible person, don't harm the Hou Mansion."
His tone paused.
"Don't be sad about the inkstone. The inkstone has a bad fate. Miss Jiang is quite talented and famous in the capital. It's better not to delay Miss Jiang." His eyes flickered, which made Mrs. Xu suspicious. What good would it do him to break off the engagement?
Obviously he is Yan Shu's father, wasn't he the one who was slapped in the face?
