The surrounding atmosphere was somewhat depressing. Mo Rongzhan looked at Ye Zhen with a blank expression. Fu De, who was standing behind him, wanted to bury his head in the ground. He didn't want to be noticed at all.
"Lu Yaoyao!" Mo Rongzhan's voice was squeezed from his thin lips. "Are you an idiot?"
Ye Zhen's apricot eyes widened. "Of course not!"
"Then how do you know that I want you to plead for Lu Wushuang?" Mo Rongzhan asked, roaring in his heart that he wanted to strangle this woman who didn't know what was good for her.
"This subject's daughter is just guessing. Your Majesty, please calm down." Ye Zhen laughed a few times. She was really afraid that Mo Rongzhan would regret punishing Lu Wushuang. In any case, she would not use this wish to help Lu Wushuang.
Mo Rongzhan had nowhere to vent his anger. Looking at the petite and slender little girl, he felt that he could pinch her to death with one hand.
"Get lost!" He took a deep breath. If he saw her again, he would strangle her.
Ye Zhen wanted to ask if she could go to the library, but when she looked up and saw Mo Rongzhan's face, she had to swallow her words. "Your Majesty, this subject's daughter will take her leave."
Mo Rongzhan looked at her coldly and strode out.
Fu De woke up immediately and ran to catch up with Mo Rongzhan's footsteps.
In the evening, the news that Lu Wushuang was grounded reached the Lu family, frightening the masters of the Lu family.
"Mother, what the hell is going on? Why is Shuang 'er grounded? " The most nervous person was Lu Da's wife. As soon as she got the news, she immediately came to Old Madam Lu.
Old Madam Lu was uneasy. It was no secret that the emperor doted on Imperial Concubine Lu. Almost the whole capital knew it. Xiu Nu would enter the palace in a few days. At this critical moment, how could Imperial Concubine Lu be grounded?
No matter how she thought about it, it was strange. Old Madam Lu found it difficult to feel at ease.
"Mother, what should we do? Should we write a letter to Yan Zhi to inform him? We can't just sit back and do nothing about this matter. "Mrs. Lu said.
Old Madam Lu looked at her coldly. "Yan Zhi is suppressing the rebellion in the western vassal state. At this critical moment of life and death, you let him manage the affairs of the emperor's harem?"
"Do we not care about Imperial Concubine Lu?" Old Madam Lu's voice was sharp.
"Is this something we can control? If the Emperor wants to ground Guifei, it naturally means that Guifei has done something wrong. Right now, we still don't know anything, so how are you going to help Guifei? Don't drag the entire Lu Clan down with you when the time comes. "Old Madam Lu reprimanded.
Eldest Madam Lu sat back down with a sullen face. Her daughter was in trouble now, but Old Madam Lu was not worried at all. Instead, she was worried that it would implicate the Lu Clan. If it wasn't for her daughter becoming the Imperial Concubine, would the Lu Clan have the glory and wealth they had today? Did Madam Dowager place her hopes on the third branch?
Humph, Lu Shiming is only a Hanlin, how can he be compared to her marquis son? No matter how beautiful his daughter was, she couldn't compare to Shuang 'er.
"Mother, is there any other news from the palace?" Lu Shiming asked Old Madam Lu in a low voice after seeing that First Madam Lu had calmed down.
Old Madam Lu shook her head, "Shuang 'er has not only angered His Majesty, I'm afraid that even the Empress Dowager has been angered. I heard that the Empress Dowager has found two instructor aunts to teach her the rules."
"How is Shuang 'er unruly?" Eldest Madam Lu couldn't sit still when she heard this.
Old Madam Lu glanced at her coldly, "Then do you think that you have the rules?"
"Mother, how can you always pick on our first branch? If Shuang 'er really falls out of favor, what benefits does the Lu Clan have? Isn't what you are enjoying now brought by Shuang 'er? "Eldest Madam Lu shouted in annoyance.
"Liu, the glory and wealth of the Lu Clan today are indeed brought by your son and daughter. If it wasn't for the wealth earned by the ancestors of the Lu Clan, if the Lu Clan didn't help the Emperor at that time, would the Lu Clan be where it is today? Don't always use your son and daughter to scare others. If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, wait until you come back and ask him if he wants to separate from the family. "Old Madam Lu shouted sternly.
Eldest Madam Lu was speechless for a moment, "Mother, I'm just worried about the Imperial Concubine."
"Who isn't worried about the Imperial Concubine? Who do you think you are? Do you think that the Emperor's family matters are something that you can meddle with? "Old Madam Lu asked.
"Are we just going to do nothing?" Eldest Madam Lu asked unwillingly.
Old Madam Lu said, "Doing nothing is helping the Imperial Concubine."
"Mother …" Eldest Madam Lu was indignant.
"Don't ask about this matter anymore. We will naturally know what we should know. I'm tired, you can go back." Old Madam Lu sent the eldest daughter-in-law away to prevent her from getting a headache.
"Mother, then I'll go back first." She looked at Pei Shi, who kept her head lowered and did not speak, and finally could not help but say, "Third Sister-in-law, you should consider the matter that I mentioned to you last time. We are all members of the Lu Clan, we can't let the first branch take responsibility every time something happens. Yaoyao is not young anymore, you won't get another chance like this if you miss this opportunity. If you had listened to me and agreed to this matter earlier, there would be someone to help the Imperial Concubine now."
Pei Shi raised her head with a flushed face. She had said it out of anger, "Eldest Sister-in-law, I will not consider this matter. You don't have to say anymore."
"How can you be so selfish? Don't you have a share in the Lu Clan?" Eldest Madam Lu shouted.
Pei Shi sneered, "You want me to marry my daughter to a widower for my own good life? Eldest Sister-in-law, unless I die!"
"You …" Eldest Madam Lu glared at Pei Shi angrily and pointed at her, wanting to curse.
Bang —
Old Madam Lu slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, her face as dark as water. She stared coldly at Eldest Madam Lu, "Liu-shi, do you think I am dead? Since when was it your turn to decide the marriage of the girls in the family? If you like to be in-laws with the Liang Clan so much, why don't you marry your daughter over? Yaoyao has an older sister. "
"Mother, I am just saying." How could Eldest Madam Lu dare to say that this was the Imperial Concubine's idea? When the Imperial Concubine sent someone to visit her, she had also instructed her to marry Lu Yaoyao off no matter what, otherwise her position in the palace would be affected.
Thinking of Lu Yaoyao's appearance, Eldest Madam Lu felt that the Imperial Concubine's worries were reasonable. Coincidentally, Yanzhi was not at home and no one could control her now, so she wanted to fool Pei Shi into agreeing to this marriage. Who would have thought that Pei Shi would not listen to her and would rather die than agree, angering Old Madam Lu instead.
"I am still alive, you have no right to say that!" Old Madam Lu snorted.
"Yes, mother." Eldest Madam Lu curled her lips, feeling that the Third Branch staying in the capital was really troublesome. Old Madam Lu was simply biased.
Old Madam Lu glanced at her, "In the future, if there is nothing important, don't go out. Didn't you just recover? Don't fall sick again. "
"Yes!" Doctor Lu was so angry, this damn old woman was basically cursing her.
