Chapter 47 Xu's Mother Comes to the House
It was rare for Mr. Lu not to talk back to Mother Lu.
But in the morning, it was boiled white radish again.
Father Lu was well prepared, so his expression remained calm.
Mother Lu had some pastries in the evening and no other food.
I was just glad in my heart that Lu Yuan said that if I couldn’t finish the food, I could take it to the yamen and eat these boiled radishes at noon.
Although Mother Lu had only eaten two meals, she still felt uncomfortable just by smelling the radish.
She thought of taking it to the yamen and adding some salt to it, and then giving it to the people in the yamen to eat.
But Mr. Lu was an honest man, and since he had promised Lu Yuan, he would eat it all himself.
Mother Lu felt sorry for Father Lu, so she had no choice but to eat with them.
I ate boiled radish for three days in a row.
Mother Lu felt like a small fry.
But during these three days, she found that Lu Yuan was also eating radishes.
Except for lunch when she and Mr. Lu were not there, other dishes were served.
But if she was in the Lu Mansion with Lu's father, Lu Yuan would also eat radishes, but they would be cooked with various kinds of meat, such as pork ribs stewed with radishes, stir-fried pork slices with radishes, and beef stewed with radishes.
The only difference is the way of cooking radishes.
Mother Lu originally wanted to talk to Lu Yuan.
But these days Lu Yuan has been studying hard at home.
She felt that if Lu Yuan really became a better person, she would be willing to endure some hardship!
Of course, passing imperial examinations is much more promising than doing business.
Moreover, Lu's mother knew very well that Lu Yuan's character was much more smooth than Lu's father's, and his achievements in officialdom would definitely be higher than Lu's father's.
Therefore, Lu's mother hoped very much that Lu Yuan could pass the imperial examination.
The willow branches in the yard are already very long, swaying in the warm breeze, and the willow branches are dancing in the air due to the wind.
The temperature in May has begun to rise gradually.
Like Xu Qiuyue, she also likes to eat cold food.
Although eating these is not good for the body.
But Xu Qiuyue likes to eat, she just controls herself and doesn’t eat too much.
Xu Qiuyue started using her internal energy to make iced drinks early on.
Although the temperature has risen, it is not yet time to live on ice.
June is really hot.
Xu's mother, who hadn't visited for a long time, suddenly came.
When Xu's mother arrived at Lu's house, her face was beaming.
She was dressed ostentatiously.
When facing Xu Qiuyue, he felt somewhat smug.
Obviously, Xu's mother had been threatened by Xu Qiuyue last time. She had not expected that this daughter who had always protected her since she was a child would stab her in the back for such a small amount of dowry.
She was sad and upset about this for a long time.
She hated Xu Qiuyue even more.
If it weren't for her, Xu Qiuyue would have died long ago.
Because whatever Xu Qiuyue did for her was what she should do.
What's more, she also gave Xu Qiuyue such a good marriage, allowing Xu Qiuyue to marry such a good husband like Lu Yuan.
"Qiuyue, Lu Yuan is now penniless. This is God punishing you. You are disrespectful to your parents, unfilial to them, and unkind to your sister, so you have ended up like this."
Xu's mother snorted coldly: "What did you say before? You wanted to cut off ties with me! What about now! Without me, look at how you are doing!
I tell you, if you continue like this, you will definitely be disgraced by God and you will definitely be punished.”
Listening to Xu's mother's vicious words, Xu Qiuyue turned pale and her body trembled.
Indulge in living a new life.
She also has feelings for Xu's mother.
But she couldn't understand why Xu's mother treated her like this.
When she was a child, she would always stand up to help her mother when her father beat her. No matter what delicious food she found, she would give it to her mother first, but her mother would always give it to Xu Chunhua first.
Xu's mother always told Xu Qiuyue that Chunhua was her younger sister and she should take care of Chunhua and give in to Chunhua.
But Xu Qiuyue and Xu Chunhua are twins, and Xu Qiuyue just came out first to Xu Chunhua.
In her previous life, after Xu Chunhua died, Xu's mother seemed like a completely different person.
He almost wanted to kill Xu Qiuyue immediately.
It was obvious that Xu Chunhua's death was an accident.
But Xu's mother blamed all the faults on Xu Qiuyue.
Xu Qiuyue did not answer Xu's mother.
Mother Xu didn't really want to wait for Xu Qiuyue's answer.
Anyway, she felt that she had the upper hand.
Mother Xu walked to the living room, sat down, drank a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "Do you know? Chunhua is going back to Taohua Town. She is marrying Xuan Jiuqing. Xuan Jiuqing is the Ninth Prince. Chunhua will live in the capital forever in the future.
This time he happened to come to Taohua Town to investigate a case, and Chunhua came with him.
Chunhua is a lucky person. Even if she marries a refugee, it is much better than someone like you who is unlucky."
Xu's mother became more and more proud as she spoke: "Don't be jealous of this matter! You know that you are unlucky. Can you compare with Chunhua?"
At the end, there was a look of sarcasm in Xu's mother's eyes.
She doesn't like Xu Qiuyue at all.
Sometimes I even think that I should have just killed him back then so that he wouldn't be such an eyesore now.
Xu Chunhong went to Beijing alone, not knowing what she would encounter. She came to Xu Qiuyue for help because she was desperate. What was the result?
She was so good that she didn't even have a cup of tea when she came in. She said a few sarcastic words and was driven away.
Mother Xu sneered at Xu Qiuyue and said, "Don't worry, I know you are unhappy. After all, she is the sister who grew up with you and married such an excellent man.
But you must remember, although Chunhua is married, she is still a member of our family. This time she returned to Taohua Town.
If you dare to do anything to let our family down, I will go to the capital and file a complaint with the emperor, so that everyone in the world will know that you are an unfilial daughter!"
After saying this, Xu's mother walked away.
Xu Qiuyue was left dumbfounded.
She had never thought that Xu's mother would think of her like this.
Even though Xu Qiuyue was stabbed in the back by Xu's mother and Liu Ping in her previous life, she never thought of taking the initiative to deal with Xu's mother.
All that hatred happened in previous lives.
Nothing in this life has ever begun.
Even if the betrothal gift given by Lu Yuan was embezzled by his family.
She didn't pursue it.
When Xu Chunhua came to her house, although Xu Qiuyue did not take the initiative to help, she still gave some suggestions.
It turns out that even after so much time has passed, my heart still hurts.
A feeling of sadness surged in Xu Qiuyue's heart. She closed her eyes and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
These were the last tears she shed for the Xu family.
Xuan Jiuqing is coming to Taohua Town. He is a prince, so of course he will choose to come to the Lu family.
After all, the Lu Mansion is the most imposing house in Taohua Town.
But Xuan Jiuqing lives here.
Xu Chunhua did not come here, but was placed in another place.
……
……
After Xu's mother left Lu's house, the carriage stopped in front of a house in the south of the city.
When Xu's mother walked into the courtyard, she saw a woman sitting in the pavilion.
The woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes, skin as white as cream, and facial features as delicate as a landscape painting by an artist.
The woman looked up at Xu's mother, a hint of pride and complacency flashing in her eyes.
