Chapter 4 Ask her to be generous
At night, after Meng Qianqian coaxed the old lady to sleep, she set out to return to her own yard.
As soon as I came out, I ran into Lu Lingxiao.
Lu Lingxiao came to find Meng Qianqian.
He had wrongly blamed her during the day and already felt a little guilty.
Later, he asked Manager Liu and learned that she had been taking good care of her great-grandmother who was mentally handicapped over the past few years.
He felt guilty, so he bought a hairpin on his way back, intending to apologize to her.
But before he could open his mouth, she spoke first: "Great-grandmother is asleep. You can visit her tomorrow, but later. Great-grandmother goes to bed early."
Lu Lingxiao said: "I came to see you."
"Looking for me?" Meng Qianqian thought for a moment, "I've finished eating the osmanthus cake."
Lu Lingxiao was stunned, feeling a little amused and helpless.
Why is this girl's mind full of food?
Is he the kind of person who would snatch cakes from him?
No, this morning... he took her osmanthus cake and gave it away.
Lu Lingxiao was a little embarrassed. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly: "If you like sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I will buy it for you next time I go to Zhou Ji."
Meng Qianqian asked: "You came to me just to tell me this?"
"I..."
Lu Lingxiao squeezed the brocade box in his hand and was about to take it out and give it to her when Luoluo came over in a hurry.
"General!"
She bowed respectfully to Lu Lingxiao, then turned around and bowed to Meng Qianqian as well, her voice much more cautious, "Young Madam."
Meng Qianqian ignored her.
Lu Lingxiao asked Luluo, "What's the matter?"
Luluo glanced at Meng Qianqian's face and asked in a low voice, "Miss Lin asked you, are you going to Fengyuan for dinner tonight?"
"She hasn't eaten yet?"
"I've been waiting for the general."
"Nonsense!" Lu Lingxiao frowned and walked towards Fengyuan.
Green radish followed in small steps.
Banxia was so angry that she stamped her feet. "What a despicable thing! He came to the old lady's courtyard to rob people! The son-in-law came to the young lady three times, but was called away by Fengyuan twice! The son-in-law belongs to her family? She is the only one allowed to monopolize him? I get angry when I think of the way that damn girl was trembling in front of the young lady just now, as if we couldn't tolerate her Miss Lin!"
Meng Qianqian walked back calmly.
Nanny Li glared at Banxia: "Don't you see that the young lady is already upset enough? You better stop talking!"
Banxia snorted, "Did I say anything wrong? Marry her as a wife, run away as a concubine, my young lady didn't even drink her concubine's tea, isn't it just a piece of meat in her belly? Why are you so arrogant! Young lady, you should give birth to a son for me later! The one you give birth to is the legitimate son! When the time comes, let's see if she can surpass you!"
Although Nanny Li didn't like Banxia's outspokenness, this idea finally touched her heart.
In the husband's family, the son is the mistress's lifelong support.
"Miss, my husband is just dazzled by the vixen outside. Once the novelty wears off, he will naturally come back to you. Then you can get married and have a child. Then your life will be secure for the rest of your life."
At noon, Meng Qianqian got up.
Nanny Li fetched some hot water and went into the room to hang up the curtains.
Seeing that Meng Qianqian's forehead was covered with sweat and her pajamas were soaked, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, did you have a nightmare again last night?"
Half a year ago, my young lady was pushed into the water by Miss Lu from the second room and fell seriously ill. Since then, she has suffered from headaches and nightmares.
"Let's call a doctor."
Nanny Li advised.
Meng Qianqian said calmly: "No need."
When the old lady was at home, Meng Qianqian and Lu's mother would go to visit her every morning and evening.
If Meng Qianqian didn't go, the old lady would not scold her directly, but would scold Lu's mother for her poor discipline.
When Meng Qianqian arrived at Fushouyuan, Lu's mother was already helping her mother-in-law comb her hair.
Perhaps because Lu Lingxiao was resurrected, the old lady was happy. She changed into bright clothes and asked Lu's mother to comb her hair into a more lively bun.
"Sh ...
The old lady frowned.
Mother Lu hurriedly said, "Be gentler, daughter-in-law."
After combing the old lady's hair, Lu's mother personally helped her mother-in-law wash and dress.
Everything was ready, except for the final application of lotion, when the second wife came over with a smile.
"Sister-in-law! I'll do it, I'll do it!"
She rushed into the room, not caring whether Lu's mother agreed or not, snatched the cream from Lu's mother's hand, and pushed Lu's mother behind her.
While she was wiping the old lady, she looked into the bronze mirror and said, "Oh, is this really my mother?"
The old lady frowned: "What's wrong?"
The Second Madam said exaggeratedly, "You look ten years younger. I almost didn't recognize you! As expected, Xiao Ge'er is your sweetheart. When he came back, you had fewer white hairs and no more wrinkles!"
The old lady was amused by her: "You have such a big mouth!"
Mother Lu was used to it, so she said nothing and turned around to serve the dishes.
Meng Qianqian was with her.
In the Lu family, the first wife is the one who works hard and never complains, but the second wife is the one who always reaps the benefits.
It is obvious that Mr. Lu is a concubine's son, and the first lady is the old lady's biological daughter-in-law.
"Where's Linglong?"
The old lady asked.
The Second Madam continued to apply the cream to the Old Madam: "She went to find Xiao Ge'er. You know, she respects her eldest brother the most! Xiao Ge'er is really promising. He has made great contributions at the border. I heard that he is a third-rank official. He must be more powerful than his father! Xiao Ge'er was raised by you. If I had known earlier, I should have sent the second and third sons to you! I regret it, I regret it so much!"
Mother Lu's grip on the chopsticks was a little tight.
The old lady said, "Alright, alright, stop feeding me all that nonsense. What do you want this time?"
The second lady hugged the old lady's arm and said coquettishly, "Mother, I have my eyes on a piece of Baolinji headgear, but I don't have enough money."
The old lady said nonchalantly, "For such a small matter, just tell your sister-in-law and let the warehouse pay you the difference."
Mother Lu said, "Bao Lin Ji is very expensive."
The old lady frowned and asked, "Why? The Lu family can't even afford a set of headgear now?"
"Mother, the one we have been using is..."
"Qianqian, come here."
The old lady interrupted her daughter-in-law and waved to Meng Qianqian.
Meng Qianqian put down the dishes and walked over.
The second wife tactfully gave up her seat to Meng Qianqian.
The old lady held her hand and said kindly, "Xiao Ge'er is back. The happiest person is Qianqian, right? Yes, from now on, Qianqian is the general's wife. Wherever she goes, others have to respectfully call her Madam Lu."
As she spoke, she sighed, "Your grandfather passed away early, and I didn't have that blessing. But then again, being a general's wife isn't easy. I heard that you embarrassed Miss Lin from Fengyuan yesterday because of a plate of osmanthus cake."
"Qianqian, this is your fault. You are a small merchant girl from Youzhou. It is a blessing for you to marry into our Lu family. Your status is no longer worthy of it. Don't behave in a way that is not presentable enough and don't embarrass your husband. Do you understand?"
Meng Qianqian in the past: Madam Lu? Not interested!
Meng Qianqian in the future: Madam Lu? o(*￣︶￣*)o
