Chapter 226 Lu Nianyao Returns
Chapter 226 Lu Nianyao Returns
She knew Mrs. Fu's intention very well, but she couldn't go against it.
After all, Madam Fu holds a high status in the Fu family, and her words carry irresistible weight.
Seeing Lu Zhiran remained silent for a long time.
"Child, I know this is a difficult problem for you. But you know Yu Zhang best, and you have a deep relationship recently. I believe you can find a suitable way."
Madam Fu spoke slowly, her tone revealing an unquestionable firmness.
No matter what Lu Zhiran thinks about this matter, she must do it.
Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a plan in mind.
She turned around and bowed to Madam Fu, and said softly, "Grandma, Lu Zhiran understands. I will do my best."
After saying that, Lu Zhiran turned and left, leaving Madam Fu there with a satisfied smile on her face.
She knew Lu Zhiran would agree.
She is a smart girl and knows what she should do.
Lu Zhiran returned to his room, his mind was full of mixed feelings.
She knew Fu Yuzhang's character, he was proud and stubborn, once he knew the truth, he would do everything he could to get back at his dignity.
This matter is not easy to handle!
However, she could not disobey Madam Fu's instructions.
This put her in a dilemma.
How can I stop Fu Yuzhang from reading?
Lu Zhiran pounded the table angrily.
It's so annoying. If I had known this, I wouldn't have gotten so angry. Now both sides are in a bad mood.
……
After Lu Nianyao and Mu Qizon came back, they rested in the Mu family for two days. Then, she wore luxurious clothes and stepped into the Lu family mansion gracefully and elegantly like a blooming peony.
She had not yet told her family that she had left the Third Prince's Palace, so she wanted to give them a surprise.
When Lu Nianyao came over, the maids and servants of the Lu family looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
Lu Zhiran just walked to the front of the hall.
She saw her brother Lu Yunqi kneeling in front of the hall with his head lowered, enduring the scolding from Lu's mother.
"You are such an unfilial son. You actually gave the shop that your father redeemed to your adopted daughter Lu Zhiran. Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
Mother Lu's voice was sharp and piercing, her face was ashen, and she was obviously extremely angry.
Back then, Lu Zhiran secretly mortgaged her shop to the gambling house, and Lu's mother had no chance to settle the score with her!
We guard against thieves day and night, but we never expected that it is difficult to guard against thieves in our own
His own son turned out to be a traitor and gave the deeds of several shops that he had redeemed with great difficulty to Lu Zhiran.
Mother Lu was almost mad at Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi raised his head, his face full of guilt and helplessness.
He had a handsome face, with a heroic look between his brows, but at this moment he looked pale and haggard.
He whispered, "Mother, I know I was wrong. But Lu Zhiran...she married into the Marquis' Mansion and needs that shop to maintain her daily expenses and dignity. I...I just want to help her."
"Help her? She's just an adopted daughter. What qualifications does she have for you to help her? What does she have to do with us? The Lu family has shown the greatest tolerance towards her by raising her. Have you been so bewildered by her that you don't even care about the brother-sister relationship?"
Mother Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. She couldn't understand how her son could do such a stupid thing.
Lu Nianyao stood aside, listening to the conversation between her mother and brother, her heart also surging.
She originally thought that her brother was a smart and wise man, but she didn't expect him to do such a foolish thing.
And, most importantly, Lu Zhiran is actually an adopted daughter!
Not even a concubine's daughter of the Lu family!
What's the matter?
Lu Nianyao almost dropped her jaw when she learned the truth.
"Mother, Lu Zhiran is an adopted daughter. What's going on?" Lu Nian Yao couldn't help but speak. She only found out about Lu Zhiran's adopted daughter today.
Mother Lu was startled when she suddenly heard Lu Nianyao's voice.
She saw Lu Nianyao appear at the door.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses.
At this moment, seeing Lu Nianyao returning safe and sound, Mother Lu and Lu Yunqi were filled with indescribable excitement and relief.
Mother Lu hugged Lu Nianyao, tears welling up in her eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Yao'er, you are finally back. Mother was worried about you."
Lu Yunqi also hugged Lu Nianyao tightly, tears flashing in his eyes. He said in a trembling voice: "Sister, I'm so glad that you're okay. We have been trying to save you, but... but it's all useless. It's great that you can come back by yourself."
Lu Nianyao felt the warmth and love of her family, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She gently wiped away her mother's tears and said with a smile: "Mom, brother, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine."
When Mother Lu heard this, she still had some doubts in her heart, but when she saw Lu Nianyao's calm and confident expression, she couldn't help but feel relieved.
She held Lu Nianyao's hand and looked at her face carefully, her eyes full of love. Lu Nianyao's beautiful appearance and noble temperament made people unforgettable at first sight.
After this period of hardship, her eyes became more determined, like a pearl that has been baptized by wind and rain, becoming more dazzling and brilliant.
"Yao'er, you've lost weight." Mother Lu said with concern.
"How did you get back?!"
The issue that Lu Nianyao was most concerned about at the moment was Lu Zhiran's status as an adopted daughter. She hurriedly answered Lu's mother's question, "Mu Qizong was appreciated by the Third Prince and became his retainer, so he let me go back."
"Mother, you just said that Lu Zhiran is an adopted daughter. Is this true? Whose daughter is she? Why didn't you tell me about this?"
There was a hint of displeasure in Lu Nianyao's eyes. If Lu Zhiran was the adopted daughter of the Lu family, then the stain that she had always despised and mocked Lu Zhiran for being born by a virgin would be gone.
Really annoying!
Mother Lu sighed and said.
"Lu Zhiran is indeed an adopted daughter. Her parents are a couple from the same village as your father. Lu Zhiran's father left to join the army. All the people from the same village who went with him died on the battlefield. When Lu Zhiran's mother heard the news, she became depressed all day long. She was also pregnant, and it was difficult for a widow to survive."
"Your father was worried that Lu Zhiran's mother would be bullied to death, so he took Lu Zhiran's mother back home to raise her. Who knew that she died of complications during childbirth, so Lu Zhiran was raised in our home!"
It was only at this time that Lu Nianyao understood the causes and consequences of these things.
But she still didn't quite understand.
"If that's the case, why did you tell others that Lu Zhiran was a concubine's daughter?"
Mother Lu said bitterly, "Your father liked Lu Zhiran's mother when he was young, but Lu Zhiran's mother didn't like him."
However, when Mother Lu thought about it again and thought about the miserable death of Lu Zhiran's mother, she felt much better.
"Who could have thought that the most beautiful woman in the area would end up with a tragic fate for a man from another place, and end up living a worse life than me!"
