1475. Chapter 1475 Unreasonable Trouble
It was the first time for Mingxi and Mingyu to visit Lu's house. Mingyu, who was held in Lu Xiangzhi's arms, looked left and right. Although it was smaller than the palace, because it was her first time here, she felt fresh.
"Little uncle, why didn't you see little aunt?" Mingyu asked curiously.
"What little aunt?" Lu Xiangzhi didn't understand what the words meant for a while, and walked up to the room with Mingyu in his arms.
Ming Xi said later, "The queen mother said that the little uncle will have a little aunt soon."
Now that Lu Xiangzhi understood what it meant, he coughed lightly, "There will be a little aunt next time."
"When is the next time?" Mingyu asked.
"Well, Chinese New Year is over..." Lu Xiangzhi just went to Su's house yesterday, and saw his future daughter-in-law, she looked very cute and gentle. He originally wanted to go again today, but he was afraid of the abrupt beauty. We got married early.
Mingyu wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by a voice.
"Third Uncle, Xiangzhi." A slender figure walked over from the other side. The man's handsome and gentle face was somewhat similar to Lu Xiangzhi's. His gaze fell on Mingyu's face, and complex emotions flashed in his eyes.
Mingyu looks like Ye Zhen, so she can tell her identity at a glance.
"Second Brother." Lu Xiangzhi called out with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Lu Shiming nodded slightly, looking at this nephew who hadn't seen him for many years and had become a talented nephew.
"Mother is here with Third Aunt. I'll take her back to the house." Lu Tingzhi came in front of them, and looked away from Mingyu's face without leaving a trace. He came to pick up Liu Shi. What kind of person is his mother? , he knew better than anyone else that she would not be grateful for Third Uncle's keeping them at home, but would think it was right, and maybe she would make excessive demands on Third Aunt.
Mentioning Mrs. Liu, Lu Xiangzhi's face paled, "It happens that we are going to the room too, let's go in together."
Lu Shiming said to Lu Tingzhi, "Tingzhi, this is His Royal Highness and Princess."
"Caomin met His Highness, Princess." Lu Tingzhi bowed his hands and saluted. He didn't dare to hope that Yaoyao would still be willing to treat him as the second elder brother. Now he just returns his hometown and moves out when he finds a house. If he can buy the original big house of the Lu family Even better.
Mingxi glanced at him, "Family, don't be too polite."
When Lu Tingzhi heard Ming Xi's words, he looked at him in surprise. The little prince looked less than five years old, but he already revealed a natural dignity and majesty.
"Are you uncle too?" Seeing that Lu Tingzhi was good-looking, Mingyu felt somewhat fond of him.
How can he be an uncle.
"Mingyu, she is my second brother, you want to call her uncle." Lu Xiangzhi said in a low voice.
"Second uncle." Mingyu called out sweetly.
Lu Tingzhi's uncle's heart throbbed because of this sound, and he clenched his fists to suppress all the excitement, "The princess loves you so much."
"Let's go, go to the upper room first." Lu Shiming looked at Lu Tingzhi's hands, and led Ming Xi to the upper room.
Mrs. Liu came to see Mrs. Pei early in the morning. She didn't come to talk about the family life, let alone express her gratitude, but asked Mrs. Pei to tell Lu Shiming to find an official position for Lu Tingzhi in the court.
"...Tingzhi was a fifth-rank official when he was in Qi State. If he can't come to Jin State, he will be nothing. Third uncle is a cabinet minister, and your son, I heard that he is a fourth-rank official. You guys Sanfang was nothing before, and they were all supported by the big house, now you are lucky, shouldn't you repay your kindness?" Mrs. Liu straightened her back and sat down on the grand teacher's chair, holding a teacup in her hand , that posture looks like someone who came to collect debts, not like someone who came to ask someone to do something.
Mrs. Pei thought she was a good-tempered person, and she was relieved to hear these words. The three of them had to rely on their own efforts to get to where they are today. If it wasn't for Mrs. Liu, her master would have been an official in the court long ago. How could he have gone? After so many years in the border town, she still had the nerve to ask for credit.
"Sister-in-law, I know that Tingzhi is not a vulgar person, but you have just returned to the capital, you should rest for a few days, maybe Tingzhi has his own plans, we are elders, don't get too involved in the affairs of juniors." Pei patiently Persuade.
"If you dare to love that it's not your son, don't worry." Liu Shi's voice was sharp. She was not from a high family background, but she had a son who was once a marquis, so she treated herself as the wife of a famous family. There is no dignity at all, "Now you are just making excuses for doing small things. If you let us stay just for the sake of face, then there is no need, we can't afford it."
Mrs. Pei looked at her coldly, "It's not for the sake of saving face that you guys are allowed to live at home, it's just for the sake of the old lady, being filial in the court, his third uncle and I both like him, so naturally we are nervous about his future , Sister-in-law doesn’t need to mention this at this time.”
Mrs. Liu is resentful and jealous towards Mrs. Pei. If Sanfang hadn't come back from the border town, their eldest family would not have been downcast, and their titles would not have been revoked. What Sanfang enjoys now should belong to them, Pei Shi's current status should have belonged to her.
This little request from her and Pei's is nothing compared to what they owe her.
"Don't talk about the old lady. If you want to say that you are sorry for the old lady, it is you." Liu snorted sharply.
Pei smiled, "Could it be that we let the Lu family be ransacked?"
"That's not all your adopted daughter!" Liu's resentment gushed out.
"What's wrong with my adopted daughter?" Lu Shiming strode in, his elegant face was as gloomy as water. He respected Liu as his sister-in-law, but it didn't mean he could allow her to ask for things she shouldn't want at home.
Not to mention she dared to talk about Yaoyao.
Liu Shi turned her head and glared at Lu Shiming. Her arrogance subsided a little, especially when she saw Lu Tingzhi standing by the door with an ugly face, she curled her lips, "Did I say something wrong?"
Lu Tingzhi felt embarrassed. He knew that his mother was making trouble for no reason, but he didn't expect to be able to do this. It simply... made him feel ashamed.
"Third Aunt." He bowed his head and bowed to Mrs. Pei, "My mother has little knowledge, so I hope you don't take what she said to heart."
Mrs. Liu stood up abruptly, "I'm all for your own good, and you still despise me?"
Seeing this sensible nephew, Mrs. Pei felt sympathy for him, "It's okay, Third Aunt understands."
"Grandmother!" Mingyu didn't know Mrs. Liu, and was not interested in her existence. She got down from Lu Xiangzhi's arms and ran towards Mrs. Pei.
Seeing the little granddaughter and grandson, Mrs. Pei felt no discomfort at all, with a gentle and loving smile on her face, "Hey, my little baby, come and give grandma a hug."
When Liu Shi heard Mingyu calling her grandmother, her face became gloomy and ugly. When she saw Mingyu running past her, she moved, trying to pretend to faint and catch Mingyu.
Lu Tingzhi couldn't see what his mother wanted to do, so he took Liu's arm with a stride.
At the same time, there was also Yan Xiaoliu who had moved beside Mingyu at some point, looking at Liu shi coldly.
