MIRACLE DOCTOR
19.
The Lu family did not have a separate family. The First and Second Families lived in the large residence of the Left Minister Lu.
It was just that because only Lu Xiaoyuan was an official in this family, so for the presence of the Second Family to be a bit.
Second Master, “Lu Xiaoyu” is an honest and kind person. He doesn't really care about this. However, Second Mistress, “Lu Xiaoyu”'s wife Lady Luo was the one who was unwilling to budge.
He was always looking for trouble for the First Family to argue desperately. Although he had been defeated repeatedly, yet it did not defeat his battle sense with them. He had never missed the chance to be able to defeat the First Family.
And also he was only being unkind when he saw the bad problems that were happening in front of him. His attitude remained the same when dealing with Pei Qing, as well as Yunshi.
As he looked at Yunshi speechless when facing Lu Ciqiu, in his heart he felt extremely happy and satisfied. However, no matter how happy it was in his heart, the look on his face still looked sad.
All of this was due to the news of Pei Qing's death being rumored yesterday.
Then he stood up and walked towards Lu Ciqiu, holding her hand with reddened eyes and saying:
“Second Miss, I've heard about Brother-in-law's death. I lived with him under one roof for many years. When I heard the news, I felt very sad.”
As he spoke, he removed the bracelet from his hand and placed it on Lu Ciqiu's wrist.
"At home he didn't have his funeral and I don't know how to express this sadness. Please keep this bracelet, Second Miss. This is the sympathy of our family."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yunshi for a moment and his smile briefly appeared at the corner of his lips.
Then she quickly changed her mood, wiped away her tears and quietly retreated back to her seat.
Lu Ciqiu was shocked by the sudden handing of the bracelet, but as she looked at Yunshi's slightly displeased face. He also understood Madam Luo's thoughts.
This bracelet was considered as condolences and the Second Family gave it away. Yunshi who was as the Great Mistress, how could she not give it away.
And even though he gave it away, it was also behind the Second Family. It doesn't look good in people's eyes.
Lu Ciqiu knew that the Second Family wanted to make things difficult for the First Family, yet she was currently very happy to cooperate with Madam Luo.
Then he got up and walked towards Madam Luo. Then he knelt in salute to her with reddened eyes and said:
“Thank you Second Aunt remembers my mother. In our family, other than Grandma, Second Aunt was the first to talk about this matter. Ciqiu was very grateful."
As he said that, he touched the bracelet on his wrist.
"The items that Second Aunt was wearing must have been precious items, so it was seen that Second Aunt had sincerely given them. Huft, by the way, I am the child of the First Family, but the Madam of the Second Family gave me condolences first. It's really embarrassing.” Lu Ciqiu.
Yunshi's face looked even worse. His hand gripped the chair he was sitting on, until it left a deep mark. He glared at Madam Luo sharply, yet it was Mistress Luo who looked at him with a gaze that challenged him and was proud.
“Second Miss, I also have prepared condolences for you. But if you keep thinking about this sad problem, I'm afraid you can't accept this reality. That's why I'm afraid to say it, so that Lady Luo also has a chance to give it to me first.”
“However, it's okay. We are one family. Whoever gives first, it does not affect the sadness we all.”
While speaking, he stood up, took the gemstone ring from his hand and put it into Lu Ciqiu's hand.
"This was given by your father when he performed the wedding ceremony with me. The gemstones on it came from the Fan Kingdom in the Western Region and there was only this one. You keep it well. This is my sincerity."
Lu Ciqiu almost lost her temper and wanted to laugh. Lady Yun this is so funny. When giving condolences, do not forget to show off the affection of husband and wife. As afraid no one would know how good Lu Xiaoyuan was to her.
However, showing this affection is a rule-breaking thing. He was wrong to take his step.
He hurriedly returned the item to Yunshi with a panicked face.
“I cannot accept such a valuable item. And I'm still immature, a lot of things aren't understood. This is the first time I heard of holding a wedding ceremony for an illegitimate wife.”
“Befit the Crown Prince held a Wedding Ceremony to welcome his second wife, it turns out all this he learned from Dad, huh?”
......
As soon as these words came out, Yunshi was stunned for a moment and everyone in the room fell silent.
It never occurred to Yunshi that he was forced by the Second Family to give something to Lu Ciqiu. Why now bring up the legitimate and illegitimate wife??
Yesterday, Eunuch Wei came here to apologize for the Crown Prince making a mistake. Today Lu Ciqiu said that the Crown Prince learned from Lu Xiaoyuan, isn't this pushing his Master into the fire pit?
Let alone Yunshi, even Old Madam who heard him was furious.
In his heart he said:
“Yunshi is such a stupid person!”
Where does anyone give a ring as condolence? His golden bracelet from the Second Family still made sense. Who cares about the ring.
The Old Madam said to Yunshi.
“What are you saying?”
Right now, Yunshi really wanted to tear Lu Ciqiu's face apart. As the Old Madam rebuked him, she bowed and apologized to the Old Madam.
“I said wrong, not a wedding ceremony. At that time, I was still the second wife of Mr.”
This was the humiliation of Yunshi's entire life. And it was also his disgrace that he wanted to erase at all costs.
Seeing that he had admitted his mistake, the Old Lady said nothing more, then she told Yunshi that condolences should be given in the form of money.
At this moment, Lu Ciqiu also said:
“Mistress Yun told me, a gemstone ring can only be one. Such a precious item, it seems obvious that I love you more than anything. Otherwise, this good item why didn't Dad give it to his own little sister? This ring is so beautiful. If worn by Bibi and taken to the Palace, Bibi must look dignified inside the Palace.”
Yunshi almost fainted hearing that. Why isn't this child inexhaustible???
This looks like an enhanced version of Pei Qing!!
The Old Madam also looked at Yunshi thoughtfully and after a while, she sighed with an unhappy expression:
"Well, my dear wife is more important than her little sister."
Everyone present there looked at Yunshi, Mistress Luo also enlivened the atmosphere and did not mind making the matter even bigger.
“Yo, Sister-in-law is not only a spoiled wife in the Residence, it even also snatches the one that should belong to Consort Chen.”
Next to her, Fourth Miss Lu Fanghua also said:
“There is a saying that says, one must depend on his clothes. Mother, if at that time Aunt wear this ring into the Palace, will not it look more beautiful and favored by the Emperor?”
Madam Luo answered him.
“It was just a ring alone, nor was it a blush, where it might be pretty. However, if your Aunt has more good stuff, then she can live better in Palace.”
“Huft, the concubines inside the Palace have a nice family background. We know the situation in it. If you want to live better, in addition to seeing the power of the family, it also depends on the wealth in our hands.”
Lu Ciqiu currently felt this Luo Madam was indeed a great person. He is also a good partner in words.
He only changed the topic, yet he could say it even more deeply. To the extent that making Old Madam who had not originally thought about it was unable to help but think about it.
Right now, Yunshi was on the verge of the brink. The ring he was holding felt very disturbing. Then, he also planned to give it to Consort Chen.
The Old Madam was panting with emotion. Seeing this, Lu Fanghua rushed forward to help stroke his Grandmother's back, saying:
“Huge Lady has been wearing it for almost 20 years and now just thinking about it for Auntie at the Palace? It is obvious that you are forced to give it. No sense of sincerity in the slightest!”
“After all, this was originally intended to be given to Second Brother as condolences, now willing to give to Auntie, how unlucky this is! Do you want to piss Grandma off?”
For a while, Yunshi really did not know what to do anymore.
The servant girl named Yimei stepped forward and said:
“Second Miss, Big Madam has prepared the silver money to be given to you. It's my fault for forgetting to carry it around while busy. Later I will bring it to Second Miss and please punish me for wrongdoing.”
After he finished he reminded Yunshi.
“The Big Lady forgot about it, huh? Actually today we are indeed willing to offer condolences to Second Miss. But because I have been busy to take care of the amount of money, so forget it in the room.”
Yunshi was conscious after being remembered by him. Basic, important things have not been done, even confused by the Second Family. Old Madam is right, I have a lot to learn with noble Madams.
Then she put her ring back on and changed her expression to normal, then she said to Old Madam.
“I recently got a letter from the Yun family and mentioned about an ancient painting. The master said the Emperor mentioned some of the famous calligraphers and painters who had died a few days ago. In the words of the Emperor, it seemed to appreciate it very much.”
“So, I thought if the ancient painting had arrived, I would deliver it to Consort Chen, so that he could give it to the Emperor. And it will definitely make the Emperor happy.”
The expression of Old Madam became soft.
“Good if you have such thoughts.”
Yunshi finally heaved a sigh of relief and gestured for Yimei to take out the paper money that had been prepared earlier——
The banknote cost five hundred silver.
Pei Qing left for five months, a total of 150 days. And ate three meals a day and one silver for each meal, a total of 450 silver.
It was also because Lu Rongxuan was a child, that he ate together with his Brother. Otherwise, perhaps he would have paid double for the money he gave.
Yunshi also made his own decision and added another 50 silvers to Lu Ciqiu. So he gave Lu Ciqiu 500 banknotes.
“Kitchen manager has been blinded by money. How dare he treat Miss and Young Master by cheating your money with food. Only, the money that has been taken by them has been spent and can not be returned anymore.”
“Now that I am the Big Lady, it is my fault that something like this has happened. I won't let Second Miss be bullied like that. So, these 500 banknotes I gave you personally. Ciqiu, you save this money.”
With a face full of sincerity, he handed the money to her.
“Good son. These few months, have made you suffer so much.”
As he said it, he let out a few drops of tears.
Madam Luo who saw this atmosphere, she also thought of bad intentions.
“Yo, Sister-in-law is acting fast once. Why don't you bring the culprit here to give an explanation in front of Old Grandma, instead of driving her out of here? While Big Madam Pei was still around, she had never made a mistake like this.”
“Here his daughter was raised pretty and not treated unfairly. However, why when you take care of the household, other people's daughters even have to pay money to eat in their own neighborhood?”
Madam Luo's mouth really cannot be underestimated. He was trying hard to bring Yunshi down.
His daughter, Lu Fanghua, was also a person who was not easy to deal with. Once Madam Luo started it, she immediately followed him.
“What's the difference with eating at the diner?”
**********
It is clear that Old Grandma Lu is very easily influenced by their words 😅
If I became that old grandma, maybe my heart was not strong, up and down because of emotions....
