Chapter 1451: War Drums Sound 272

rform a dance or song, she will probably have a hard time."Dugu Cheng frowned. It wasn't that he minded being inconvenienced, but if it was Xi'er who was being put in a difficult position, then he wou..."Your mother didn't acknowledge us, but she will eventually."

Mrs. Lu's smile didn't diminish, looking at Wan'er's surprise, she laughed and said, "Your mother is the only daughter of the Lu family, you are her daughter, and also the only granddaughter of our Lu family."

"Mother, I heard that there are two more children around my sister. Are they hers"

"Child" Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Nian, completely puzzled. "What child When did Xi'er have a child She didn't bring any children with her when she came that day."

"Really not"

Lu Nian was confused, his message couldn't be wrong. Could it be that his sister didn't bring the child to the Lu family, or was she taking someone else's child

That day, she really didn't bring her children. However, the man did bring two, saying they were friends she had met, and asked us to give them a chance.

"Friend"

Mrs. Lu nodded, looking at her son's suspicious gaze. Thinking of Tao Su, the young man, her eyes almost narrowed into a slit.

"Don't say anything, Xi'er brought back a friend who is truly handsome and polite. He seems to be a good man."

"Mother, are you trying to play matchmaker"

"What's the matter"

As soon as Lu Nian's words left her lips, Madam Lu became displeased.

"Could it be that you still expect Xi'er to keep herself chaste for Dugu City He betrayed my daughter and now he dares to dream that Xi'er will remain unmarried for life"

"Mother, you should at least consider Wan'er's feelings. She's right here."

Lu Nian watched as Wan'er remained silent, giving her mother a discreet nudge with her eyes, signaling her to refrain from speaking and risk hurting the child's feelings.

"Grandma Lu, how is my mom's friend to my mother"

Waner's question surprised Lu Nian greatly. Let alone this child agreeing to this marriage.

"Of course, it's great, no need to mention how wonderful it is, but, right now, nothing really matters."

Lu Fu's smile vanished instantly, she looked at Wan'er with a hint of melancholy, "Your mother is truly sought after. Although that Tao Gongzi is quite good, the crown prince is likely to come and snatch her away."

"The Crown Prince Does he want a piece of the action too"

Mrs. Lu nodded, looking at her son's stifled expression and soothingly said, "The Emperor has decreed that we have the time to bring Xi’er into the palace. Some things happened in our Lu family, which caused criticism from officials in court. I'm afraid Xi’er needs to enter the palace to explain."

"Mother, why must I enter the palace to explain What has happened at our house"

Lu Nian felt a shiver run down her spine. This involved the Crown Prince, so it must be a serious matter. She needed to find out more and inform Duke Duolun as soon as possible. If she was late, her younger sister would become the Crown Prince's wife.

Lady Lu told them what had happened to Feng Lingxi at home. Anyway, now everyone in the country knew about this, so Lu Nian would find out sooner or later.

"These old fellows who have nothing better to do than eat and sleep, they just get restless if they don't stir up some trouble. What business is it of theirs what goes on in our Lu family"

"Xier's Purple Star is a sacred relic of the Yao Clan. We never expected something like this purple qi surging into the heavens to happen. You know what this purple qi represents, don't you"

Mrs. Lu took a deep breath, "However, I have already spoken with the Empress Dowager about this. As for how to handle it, it is up to the Emperor."

Lu Nian pursed her lips and remained silent. This matter involved the imperial court, so it wasn't as simple as it seemed.

"Not mentioning these things, Wan'er traveled far and wide to get here. She must be exhausted. How about she rests in Xi'er's room first After she's rested, we can talk."

"My mother's room"

When Wan'er heard Lu Hao mention her mother's room, her eyes lit up. Seeing Lu Hao nod, she said, "Your mother has been living in the mansion for some time now. There's a courtyard specifically prepared for her."

"Grandpa Lu, Grandma Lu, can I go see my mother's room"

"Of course, Grandma will take you there."

Wan'er responded and followed Madam Lu to her mother’s room. Looking at the flowers and plants of the Lu Mansion, Wan'er walked beside Madam Lu, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Grandma, has my mother mentioned me"

"Of course, your mother mentioned you and her eyes turned red. I know some things about what happened back then, but there are some things she doesn't want to say, and I didn't dare ask too much. As you know, I'm not your biological mother. I'm just happy that she came back to visit, so how could I ask more"

Wan'er nodded, said thank you, and then fell silent.

"This is your mother's courtyard. It's a separate one, specially designed for her. There are over ten rooms in the courtyard. I was thinking that when you visit our house in the future, you'll have a place to stay."

Wan'er pushed open the door and looked at the warm room inside. She walked to the bed and said, "This is where my mother slept"

"Well, she'll be here in a few days. She'll still be sleeping here."

Waner fell onto the bed, hugging the quilt and sobbing loudly. Suyue stepped forward to comfort her, but she was stopped by Madam Lu.

"Let her vent for a while, it'll pass."

Even Wan'er was just a child under eight years old. She was already so mature, it was heartbreaking to see her. Just watching her like that made even her feel bad.

Su Yue stayed by Wan'er's side. Lu shi glanced at her, "This child is too repressed. She doesn't act like a girl of seven or eight years old. Don't let her mature too much, we have to give back her natural disposition."

After she finished speaking, Lady Lu left first. Su Yue glanced at the weeping Wan'er, she seemed to have never seen Wan'er cry so heartbroken before.

Wan'er's arrival caused a stir throughout the Lu household. Just days ago, their eldest daughter returned, and now the granddaughter-in-law has also arrived. The Lu Mansion had never been so lively, even more so than when they married a princess.

When the old grandfather and grandmother of the Lu family heard that Wan'er had arrived, they hurried over from the ancestral home. They scolded Lu Hao severely as soon as they saw him, blaming him for not telling them about such a big matter, and even Lu Nian was not spared from being scolded. The father and son dared not retort, so they could only listen to the lecture.

"Hurry and find a way to inform Xi'er that Wan'er is back, asking her to return to the Lu family."

Lu Hao instructed Lu Nian, "I entrust this matter to you, father rest assured."

"Father, where should I look for my sister's whereabouts Didn't you say she came back Then where is she"

Lu Hao rolled his eyes, "She wouldn't let us follow her, how would we know where she is now Go quickly."

“...”

Lu Nian watched his father leave with his grandfather and grandmother, leaving him standing there, full of anger.

He is also wind. Dust-covered, rushing back after his journey, doesn't he need a rest

Doesn't anyone see how hard Wan'er is working Don't they realize that he's the one who is truly suffering Even now, when looking for his sister, it has to be him who takes charge.

The news of Miss Sun's return to the Lu family spread quickly throughout the capital. It was no surprise that Feng Lingxi heard about it. As soon as she arrived in the capital, she heard people on every street and alley discussing the news of Miss Sun's return from the Lu family.

"Lass."

Feng Lingxi didn't return to the Lu family directly, but first stopped at the inn's door. As soon as she got down, she saw her master coming over. Fourth Princess determined to speak her mind here"Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Luo Li's soft eyes. She didn't intend to argue with her."Why don't we find a place to have a meal together...
