Barge into the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
Madame Lu revealed a terrified expression. Although she didn't know much about the rules of the palace, she knew that the Palace of Heavenly Purity was the place where the Emperor lived. Why would the Imperial Concubine break into the Palace of Heavenly Purity?
"Nonsense! Her Ladyship is His Majesty's wife. If she wants to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity, why would she need to force her way in? This can't be the reason. "Madame Lu cried out.
How ignorant and stupid! Ye Zhen sneered in her heart, but there was no expression on her face. "Aunt, I just heard it from others. Whether this is the reason or not, I can't say."
First Madam Lu sneered, "I'm afraid you are well aware of it. Could it really be such a coincidence that the Imperial Concubine is grounded and you happen to be in the palace? Yao Yao, let me tell you, although you are the Concubine's sister, you should know how much you are worth. Even a biological sister would not do this …"
Before she could finish her words, Old Madam Lu's cold and severe gaze shot over again, cutting off her words. "Was it Yao Yao who asked Imperial Consort to barge into the Palace of Heavenly Purity? Do you know what the emperor's wife should be called? The Queen! Even if the Empress wanted to see the Emperor, there was no reason for her to force her way into the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Could the Imperial Consort be an exception? His Majesty only grounded Your Ladyship this time, what about next time? "
Doctor Lu's face turned pale: Niang, how do you know that Imperial Consort will not be the Empress in the future?
"With a mother like you, I'm afraid it's difficult." Old Madam Lu sneered. "Liu-shi, don't think that I won't dare to do anything to you just because you're Yanzhi and Her Ladyship's mother. If you continue to humiliate the rest of the family, you'll see if I'll let you off."
"Mother, we can't just listen to Yao Yao's side of the story." Madame Lu cried out unwillingly.
Old Madam Lu turned to Ye Zhen and said, "Go to your mother first. She has been missing you for several days."
Ye Zhen smiled sweetly at Old Madam Lu. "Grandmother, I will go back first. I have to go back to the college today. Next time I come back, I will talk to you."
"Alright, go ahead." Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded.
Looking at how much Old Mistress doted on Lu Yaoyao, First Mistress Lu felt uncomfortable in her heart. In the past, Old Mistress only treated Shuang 'er like this. How could Yaoyao compare to Shuang' er?
Only Old Madam Lu and her daughter-in-law were left in the room. First Madam Lu looked fearfully at Old Madam Lu who was sitting on the kang bed. Although her son and daughter were already rich and powerful enough, and she should be the most respected person in the Lu Family, she was still afraid of Old Madam Lu. She felt that in front of her mother-in-law, she had no confidence at all.
All of this was because of her son, the Marquis, who treated her, his mother, and the Old Mistress with respect.
"Do you know what the Imperial Consort needs the most in the palace?" Old Madam Lu looked at the Liu matriarch and asked.
Eldest Madam Lu said, "Of course I need the support of my maiden family."
"What kind of support?" Old Madam Lu asked. "No matter how noble the Imperial Concubine is, she is still a concubine. What wife are you talking about? Let Concubine Chen go out and say that she is Shi Feng's wife, are you willing? "
Madam Lu's face changed. If Concubine Chen dared to call her his wife, she would definitely tear her apart.
"Not willing, right? You can't even distinguish this kind of identity, and you still have the face to stand up for the Imperial Consort? "Old Madam Lu smiled." Liu matriarch, don't come out and make a fool of yourself. "
Eldest Madam Lu's face turned green and white.
"Why was the Imperial Consort grounded? It was because the Emperor wanted to favor a palace maid. She forced her way into the Palace of Heavenly Purity and made a big fuss with the Emperor. This kind of behavior is enough to remove her from the throne." Old Madam Lu's heart was burning with anger. Shuang 'er was really spoiled by her family, causing her to not know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that the Emperor was still the same Prince Qin.
If the Emperor wanted to favor a woman, how could she, a mere Imperial Consort, stop him? She even forced her way into the Palace of Heavenly Purity! Fortunately, the Emperor remembered their old relationship and did not really punish her for her treason. Otherwise, the entire Lu Family would have been killed.
Eldest Madam Lu did not expect this to be the reason. She said in a low voice, "The Emperor already has Shuang 'er, how could he still like those palace maids, how could he …"
"Shut up!" Old Madam Lu angrily shouted, "What kind of person do you think the Emperor is? Even if he is an ordinary son-in-law, you can't stop him from taking a concubine. The Emperor is the ruler of a country, it is not difficult for him to have a harem of three thousand beauties. If he wants to favor a woman, who can say no? "
"Mother, I understand." Eldest Madam Lu curled her lips. She knew that she said the wrong thing. She was just feeling wronged for her daughter. Her daughter was so beautiful, didn't the Emperor dote on her in the palm of his hand? She could not blame Shuang 'er for being so angry.
Old Madam Lu took a deep breath, "Take care of yourself, don't harm the Imperial Consort in the palace."
"Mother, even if the Imperial Consort being grounded has nothing to do with Yao Yao, I always feel that it is not good for Yao Yao to always enter the palace. It is better to settle her marriage first, so that there will not be any trouble." Eldest Madam Lu tentatively looked at Old Madam.
"What kind of trouble will Yao Yao cause?" Old Madam Lu asked coldly.
Eldest Madam Lu moved her lips. Seeing that Old Madam's face was getting more and more ugly, she had to say, "Mother, although Marquis Liang is a widower, he is only thirty years old. If Yao Yao marries him, she will be the Marquis's wife. Such a marriage is not easy to find. Yao Yao grew up in the border town, she does not know any rules. It is already good that the Liang family does not dislike her."
Old Madam Lu looked at her with a faint smile and did not say a word.
Marquis Liang looked good on the surface, but the Liang family was already on the verge of collapse. Liu-shi was really daring!
"Liu-shi, be careful of retribution for ruining other people's daughter like this." Old Madam Lu said lightly.
Eldest Madam Lu's face suddenly changed. This was the harshest sentence Old Madam Lu had ever said to her.
"You don't need to interfere in the matters of the family anymore. As for the matter of taking care of the family, we will talk about it when you come back. You should stay in your room, or go to the farm to recuperate." Old Madam Lu said.
"Mother …" Eldest Madam Lu cried out, "Are you going to ground me?"
"Yes!" Old Madam Lu nodded unyieldingly. "Lest you harm everyone in the Lu family."
Eldest Madam Lu's face turned pale and she looked at Old Madam Lu in disbelief.
"Leave." Old Madam Lu simply let her leave.
"If you had not been so biased back then, I would not have been estranged from my husband. Old Madam, what is wrong with me?" Eldest Madam Lu questioned in a hoarse voice. She betrayed Lu Shiming back then because she was worried that Old Madam Lu would be more biased towards the third branch. She did not expect that her husband would blame her, and even her son would not understand her.
Old Madam Lu glanced at her lightly. "Because you have no brains."
If she had brains, would she have treated her husband with such respect for most of her life? Would she let her husband not enter her room for more than ten years?
Old Madam Lu was not an old fool. Even if she did not know the truth back then, she could guess what had happened from her eldest son's actions.
