Chapter 1: The husband who died in battle is back On
the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the Lu family is busy decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations.
The reason is simple: the eldest son of the Lu family, who died in battle at the border five years ago, has returned.
Not only was he unharmed, but he also made great military achievements and was awarded the title of General Zhenbei by His Majesty, a third-rank official.
Meng Qianqian stood at the door, quietly looking at the man in silver armor in the hall.
Five years ago, she married into the Lu family at the behest of her grandfather. However, she never even saw her husband before he went off to war.
Not long after, bad news came from the border that her husband had been killed by the Northern Liang army and his body was not left.
There was another strange woman standing at the door. Meng Qianqian had never seen her in the house before.
"You are willing to come back...you are willing to come back! Do you know that I am about to cry my eyes out? Since you are fine...why don't you bring a letter home...how have I been living these years...have you ever thought about it? Do you want to make me anxious to death..."
Mother Lu hit him with her hands and burst into tears.
Lu Lingxiao said ashamedly: "I am sorry for making you worry. I am an unfilial son!"
As he said this, he immediately took a step back and knelt down heavily in front of Mother Lu!
Meng Qianqian stared at the man's broad and strong back without blinking.
As if he had noticed Meng Qianqian's prying eyes, Lu Lingxiao turned around abruptly, with a sharp murderous look and cold light flashing in his eyes: "Who is it?"
Meng Qianqian was stunned.
Lu Lingxiao was also stunned.
Mother Lu wiped her tears, pulled Lu Lingxiao up, and waved to Meng Qianqian: "Qianqian, come in quickly."
Meng Qianqian stepped inside and stood beside Lu's mother.
Mother Lu smiled and took Meng Qianqian's hand: "Qianqian, do you know who he is?"
Meng Qianqian nodded: "Husband."
The soft and sticky voice of "husband" made Lu Lingxiao startled again, and the murderous aura on his body was stagnant!
"Yes, he is your husband."
Mother Lu smiled even more deeply, and turned to her son and said, "Qianqian has had a hard time these past few years. After you left, she has been a young widow for five years and has never thought of remarrying. At least you faked your death, and Qianqian's wait was not in vain. You are back, and Qianqian has grown up... Qianqian, Ling Xiao will live in Haitang Courtyard from now on, Qianqian, do you think it's okay?"
Before Meng Qianqian could say yes, Lu Lingxiao's expression changed and he spoke first: "Mom!"
Meng Qianqian tilted her head and looked at Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Lingxiao felt a little at a loss when he saw that clear look. He looked away and said to Lu's mother, "Mom, I have something to tell you."
"you say."
Lu's mother said.
Lu Lingxiao paused and whispered to the person outside the door: "Wan'er."
Meng Qianqian opened her eyes wide and saw the strange woman who had just stood at the door with her and looked at Lu Lingxiao walked in.
The woman was dressed in plain clothes, with a white jade hairpin on her head and a white cloak on her body. She was slender and had a pretty face. She looked so pitiful.
She walked to Lu Lingxiao's side and stopped.
Lu Lingxiao said: "Mom, her name is Wan'er, Wan'er, this is my mother."
The woman folded her hands, bowed slightly and saluted.
Mother Lu was stunned.
Lu Lingxiao said: "Wan'er can't speak, please forgive me."
"Ah...this...this..." Mother Lu was unable to recover for a long time.
Lu Lingxiao said to his mother solemnly, "Mother, Wan'er's father and brother died to save their son. Before they died, they entrusted Wan'er to their son. Wan'er has no relatives at home. Their son cannot abandon Wan'er at the border. I hope mother can accept Wan'er."
"Since, since I have done you a favor, you are also an honored guest of my Lu Mansion, Miss Wan'er."
Mother Lu reached out and held the woman's hand.
But the woman pulled her hand away and leaned towards Lu Lingxiao's side.
Mother Lu's face darkened slightly.
Lu Lingxiao hurriedly explained: "Mother, Wan'er was injured."
Mother Lu was already somewhat unhappy, but she was still happy about her son's return, and she was reluctant to offend her son too much.
She sighed and said to Meng Qianqian, "Qianqian, go back to Haitang Courtyard first."
Meng Qianqian asked: "Would you like to come over for dinner?"
Mother Lu said gently, "Your grandmother is not back yet, so you can eat in your own yard tonight."
"oh."
Meng Qianqian went there obediently.
Mother Lu looked at her from behind and sighed deeply, "In order to bring good luck to your grandmother, Qianqian married here at a young age. She didn't know anyone in the mansion. I don't know how many times she cried secretly... Miss Wan'er, please step aside for a while."
The woman looked at Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Lingxiao said to her gently: "Go to the warm room and wait for me."
The woman left reluctantly.
With no one else in the room, Mother Lu's expression suddenly became serious: "Qianqian has been a widow for you for five years, and you turned around and brought a woman back from the border. Are you worthy of Qianqian? I warn you, you can't let me accept her as a guest!"
Lu Lingxiao's expression changed: "Mom!"
Mother Lu said, "She is the daughter of your benefactor. It is reasonable that our Lu family owes her a favor. You don't have to worry about her affairs. I will take care of it for her."
Lu Lingxiao asked: "What is mother going to do?"
Mother Lu said, "I will adopt her as my adopted daughter, buy her a decent dowry, and let her marry in style as the daughter of the Lu family!"
Lu Lingxiao hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Mother, Wan'er is pregnant."
Mother Lu was stunned.
at night.
Lu Lingxiao came to Haitang Courtyard.
Meng Qianqian had just finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed, reading a book and eating fried fruits. Her pair of white and tender legs were swaying, looking so comfortable.
"Ahem."
Lu Lingxiao cleared his throat at the door.
Meng Qianqian's little body shuddered, and she stuffed the book under the pillow, then covered the tray of fried fruits with silk cloth.
Then she sat up quickly, looking serious, just like a lady from a noble family in the eyes of others.
"I'm coming in."
Lu Lingxiao said.
"Um."
Meng Qianqian replied, glancing at the fried fruit with her little eyes, "I didn't eat it secretly."
Her cheeks were puffy and her lips were greasy, which made it seem like she was trying to cover up something.
Lu Lingxiao thought he would see a heartbroken little wife, but unexpectedly, she didn't look hurt at all and was in the mood to eat.
Lu Lingxiao suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
He frowned and came to sit beside the bed: "I came here to talk to you about Wan'er, and then I'll leave."
Meng Qianqian's face darkened.
This is more like it. His indifference just now was probably just an act.
Lu Lingxiao shook his head, holding his knees with both hands, and said: "Wan'er will live in the Lu family from now on. I know you are not happy about it. I can compensate you for other things, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you know what's good for you, I will treat you as my wife, and you will always be the eldest lady of the Lu family."
"Don't worry, Wan'er is simple-minded. She won't be jealous of you, nor will she bother about those empty titles."
"I hope you can get along well with Wan'er."
Fang Fang is back, are you still here? I'll take over the post first and update after the holiday.
