Chapter 143 Hidden Worry (3)
Nanny Zhang now also knows the real reason why they came to Longfu Temple this time. Mrs. Lu never hides anything from her, let alone pointing Nanny Zhang to run errands, she can't let her have nothing. Knowing that, Wen Yanyin said: "It's almost four o'clock now, presumably they have all gone back? Even if Young Master Ling has resentment in his heart, it's just the nature of mother and child. Kuang Guangpinghou's family doesn't treat him very well. How do you know that now that he has a chance, he won't want to hate him? Don't worry, it's a matter between their mother and son after all, it's useless for you to worry about it."

Mrs. Lu said: "I'm not worrying about their mother and child, I'm worrying about our own family... The emperor has always favored that one. Since she entered the palace, although she is not a special room, but you Besides her, is there any other woman who gave birth to a son and a half? Now I know her true origin, but a woman who has been with others and has given birth to others can make the emperor do this for her It can be seen that the emperor really loves her. If something goes wrong during her trip to Longfu Temple, brother Qi will be fine. If there is someone who protects him, the emperor may not do anything to him, but our family will say It’s not good, when the time comes, besides us, who else can the emperor take his anger on?”

Zhang Momo couldn't help but frowned when she heard this, and said hesitantly: "After all, it's my own mother and son, so Master Ling won't deny her? Or, I'll go out quietly and go to Master Ling's room to have a look. Let's see if Young Master Ling has gone back, and if he does, just see how he looks, whether he's happy or not, and check him out along the way, then you'll know what you need to know."

"That's a way," Mrs. Lu couldn't help being moved, but then she said, "Don't go, who knows if there will be someone watching us in the dark? The more we know, the faster we will die. Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to arrange only two women to sleep tonight, and the others to stay in the house to sleep, and told them that Longfu Temple is a quiet place for Buddhism, so that they should not go out if they can't go out at night, no Is it because they accidentally heard something that they shouldn't hear, and saw something that they shouldn't see? Well, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk, let's sleep for a while, and have to go on the road after dawn, and go back to report to the old man It’s not too late to make a decision later.”

After Madam Lu finished speaking, she closed her eyes, she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, which made Nanny Zhang unable to sleep either. The master and servant, like Ban Xiang, also waited for dawn with their eyes wide open.

At that time, Mrs. Lu came from the courtyard next door to serve Mrs. Lu. Seeing that Mrs. Lu was tired and looked like she hadn't slept well, she apologized with a busy smile: "Mother chose the seat, so she didn't sleep well all night? I know that my daughter-in-law should have stayed behind to serve her mother last night."

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Isn't it the same choice of seats if you stay with me? Besides, you still have the third girl and the fifth girl with you. I'm fine. I'll be fine after I go back today and have a good night's rest."

Just as they were talking, Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingli came over, and later Lu Mingfu, Lu Mingxuan, and Lu Mingya and Lu Mingxin from the next courtyard also came over. After eating the breakfast specially prepared by Longfu Temple, they were surrounded and went to the temple. He got into the carriage outside and drove back in a mighty way like yesterday.

On the way, Lu Mingxuan wanted to lift the curtain of the car several times to see Ling Mengqi in the crowd. It would be even better if she could find a chance to talk to him. Lu Mingfu still held back his scruples. Lu Mingfu was a little suspicious when he saw her look like she didn't sleep well. If she doesn't know how to restrain herself, who knows what kind of chaos Lu Mingfu will cause think?

After seeing Ling Mengqi's calm face in the car, Mrs. Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Brother Qi's appearance, although their mother and son did not have a happy conversation last night, at least they did not speak ill meet each other?As long as nothing happened to that one in Longfu Temple, she would be relieved.

The group arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion at noon, and Ling Mengqi rode his horse to Madam Lu's carriage to bid farewell to her, "...I still have to go to the guard station to work, so I won't go in until the next time I rest. Come back and greet the old man and the other elders."

Mrs. Lu took a closer look and found a blue shadow under his eyelids, and his eyes were bloodshot. She knew that his heart would not be as calm as he showed, so she couldn't help but secretly sighed. After all, the child is An innocent person, but now he has to bear the consequences of the adult's reckless actions, what a crime!
His complexion unconsciously slowed down a lot, and he said softly: "Go and do your work, and come back when you have a rest. I will ask the people in the kitchen to prepare delicious food for you."

Ling Meng prayed, and after saying goodbye to Lu Wenting and Lu Wenyuan with his hands clasped together, he turned his horse's head, beat the horse and galloped straight to Jinyi Weiwei.

Mrs. Lu and the others allowed the carriage to move on, and they got off the carriage when they went straight outside the Chuihua Gate. Mrs. Lu had already led Mrs. Lu and a group of girls and women waiting there, and when they saw Mrs. Lu's carriage stopped, They hurriedly went forward to pay respects, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law personally helped Mrs. Lu get off the car, and they went to Rongtaiju in a crowd.

After arriving at Rongtaiju, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu were busy leading people to help Mrs. Lu change clothes, fetch water to cleanse noodles, or make some tea. Mrs. Lu also took time to arrange lunch , busy around.

Mrs. Lu saw that Mrs. Lu was also busy on the sidelines. Although she tried her best to bear it, she still couldn't hide the tiredness on her face. Looking at the granddaughters, they were all listless, and they were no longer as energetic as before yesterday's departure. He smiled and said: "You all go back and change your clothes. You don't have to come back after changing your clothes. You can take a nap after dinner, and it's not too late to come back at night."

During the journey, everyone did not feel well. Mrs. Lu led sister Lu Mingfeng to smile and agreed. After saluting, they exited Rongtaiju and went back to their respective courtyards.

Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu led Banxiang and Luomei back to Kongcui Pavilion.

Sister Sang, who had stayed behind for a long time, Sister Duan, learned that the two sisters had returned, and prepared hot water in advance. The two sisters went back to their respective rooms, washed their faces, combed their hair, and changed their clothes before sitting in the living room for lunch. .

Because only her two sisters ate, Lu Mingfu did not abide by the rule of "no talking when eating, no talking when sleeping". While eating, she said to Lu Mingxuan: "After eating and taking a nap, we should start packing the boxes and cages. After returning to the old lady in the evening, I can go home directly tomorrow, and I don't know what my little brother looks like? Is it like a father or a wife? And my wife, I don't know if it's better now?"

Although Lu Mingxuan was full of worries at that time, she was also thinking about Qi and Qi's newborn little brother, she nodded and said: "Of course we will know when we go home tomorrow, and I don't know if the old lady will agree that we stay at home until the little brother Come back after the full moon? Let’s pack some commonly used things and clothes for the little brother first, if the old lady doesn’t agree with us going back to live for so long, we don’t have to bring too many clothes and jewelry back.”
