Chapter 583 New Year's greetings (5)
His mood couldn't have been better all of a sudden, and he said with a smile: "It's packed, we'll go back to pay New Year's greetings to father-in-law and mother-in-law after breakfast, and come back after dinner in the evening. Anyway, it's the big festival, and the curfew time in the capital is too late." Much later than usual."

Perhaps it was because he had never tasted the warmth of a family since he was a child. Ling Mengqi always liked to go to Lu's house, especially after he got engaged to Lu Mingxuan, he liked to go even more.

Lu Mingxuan understood his mood, and hurriedly got up with a smile and replied, "It's already packed, let's go to eat."

The husband and wife sat down for breakfast, then got into the carriage and returned to Lu's house with big bags and small bags.

Red lanterns were hung in front of the Lu family's gate, couplets were pasted up, the word "Fu" was pasted in red on the door, and red strings were tied on the corners of the walls and the flowers and trees in the yard, making them look very happy.

As soon as Lu Mingxuan and Ling Mengqi saw Lu Zhongxian and Qi's, they knelt down to pay New Year's greetings to them, took the lucky money they gave them, and gave lucky money to Brother An and Brother Ding.

Mrs. Qi knew that Lu Zhongxian cared about her daughter and son-in-law, and didn't know how the young couple spent their first year at their home, but it was not easy to ask in front of Ling Mengqi, so she asked Lu Mingxuan with a smile, "Speaking of which, this is It's the first New Year after my aunt got married, and my aunt's family has no elders who can help me. I don't know how you guys have spent this year? The master has been talking about it, afraid that you will feel deserted, and even more afraid that you will wrong yourself. It's not that the rules don't allow it, but I will personally pick you up on New Year's Eve and come back to celebrate the New Year."

Is it deserted? Speaking of which, I really don't feel it at all, but instead feel indescribably warm and satisfied... Lu Mingxuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Dad and wife, there are dozens of people in our family, and we don't feel deserted, Dad If you know me, you won't wrong yourself and your son-in-law, it's not like you don't know that I'm capable."

It made Lu Zhongxian laugh out loud: "You will put gold on your face, because you are sure that my uncle will not be able to refute your words in front of us, right?"

Lu Mingxuan raised her chin with pride: "Even if he's not in front of you and your wife, wouldn't he dare to refute my words?"

Now not only Lu Zhongxian, but even the Qi family couldn't help laughing. Ling Mengqi looked calm and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law. Generally, those who suffer from Ji Chang's addiction will do so for the rest of their lives, and I am no exception. I'm afraid it won't get better for the rest of my life."

Just as they were talking lively, it might as well be that Lu Mingfu and Yan Shijiulang arrived with Wang Geer, and they happened to hear Ling Mengqi's last words outside the door, and they were taken aback. Stepping in, he asked anxiously, "What will never get better in this life, what happened?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they realized that she must have misunderstood, and they all laughed. After laughing, they briefly explained what happened, which caused Lu Mingfu and Yan Shijiulang to laugh too, and sent a message to their two brothers. After receiving the red envelopes, Lu Zhongxian and Qi's gave them their own red envelopes, and Brother Dai Wang also received the red envelopes from his grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, and uncle, Lu Zhongxian took the two sons-in-law to the study to talk.

The Qi family talked with the two daughters for a while, then went to the kitchen, Lu Mingfu took the opportunity to say to Lu Mingxuan: "Have you heard that the eldest concubine gave birth to a little princess yesterday, although it is only a daughter, but Because he was born on the first day of the first lunar month, he won a good fortune, and now everyone says that this little princess will be a great fortune in the future!"

It was really the first time for Lu Mingxuan to hear about this, she shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of it, where did you hear it from?" Counting the days, Lu Mingfeng is only more than eight months pregnant, so she shouldn't have given birth yesterday Yes, did something unexpected happen?Is it because of this that Empress Xu had no time to care about other things yesterday?
Lu Mingfu said: "It was my mother-in-law who went to my house yesterday to pay New Year's greetings to Mrs. Tai. I heard from Mrs. Guo that it happened in the afternoon." After a pause, she continued, "This is the first time I have lived so long. I heard that someone was born on the first day of the first lunar month, and that little princess may be really lucky in the future."

"She was already born as the princess, isn't this good luck enough?" Lu Mingxuan responded casually, but she didn't think so in her heart, and she didn't know who deliberately let it out. The prince's daughter is already honorable enough, unless it goes further. Only by becoming a princess can one be said to have a great fortune. Could it be that the person who let the words want to tell the people in the capital that although the eldest prince has lost his reputation now, he is actually the one whom the heavens prefer?
On the way back at night, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help telling Ling Mengqi about this matter. Although Ling Mengqi's people were constantly monitoring Lu Mingfeng's movements, they didn't communicate with Ling Mengqi all the time. It was also the first time I heard about this, so I couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why do I feel that there is something strange about this?"

Lu Mingxuan said: "If it's strange, it's just a strange one. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, so let's not worry about it."

Ling Meng prayed, but after returning home, he still called Hu Zi to the study to talk. After about an hour, he came back and said to Lu Mingxuan: "It turns out that Lu Mingfeng knew that the child she was pregnant with was probably a girl. This child doesn't occupy anything, and the status of their mother and daughter is worrying, so they took the risk of taking oxytocin drugs on New Year's Eve, which forced the child to be born yesterday, and then let people say that the child was born in Zhengdan, she will definitely be a great fortune in the future... Speaking of which, she can be considered a scheming and cunning, but it's a pity that her scheming and cunning are in the wrong place!"

Lu Mingxuan was speechless for a moment. Thinking of Lu Mingfeng's magnanimity when she first entered the Duke's mansion, and her calm and steady expression when she was overwhelmed by Mount Tai, she really complied with the sentence "one wrong step, one wrong step"!
But she just sighed innocuously in her heart. Lu Mingfeng's fate today was caused by herself, but she was not good enough, so she wanted to drag others along, and she was not a saint. She can repay grievances with virtue, and if she really repays grievances with virtue, how can she repay virtue?

The next day, Lu Mingxuan and Ling Mengqi went to the Duke's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the old Duke, Mrs. Lu and others.

Old Mrs. Lu's complexion looked a little unhappy, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but secretly frowned, did she also know about Lu Mingfeng's risk of inducing labor?However, she would not be so stupid as to ask Mrs. Lu about it directly. What if she didn't know, wouldn't it be self-defeating, so she just smiled and asked, "Why don't you see the second lady and sister-in-law?"

"You all step back." Seeing the question, Mrs. Lu pushed away all the servants, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Lu Mingxuan in a low voice: "Your second aunt and sister-in-law went to the eldest prince's mansion... Feng girl the day before yesterday I gave birth to a daughter earlier, and now both the mother and daughter are in a bad situation. I am worried. I let them go the day before yesterday. I am still worried today, so I let them go too. I heard that girl Feng slipped accidentally. She would have been born prematurely. In my own home, the house is full of maids and women, so how could she slip? There must be something inside, maybe it was the eldest prince who pushed her... I really regret it, how did she fall? Don't be tough, otherwise she won't be in such a predicament today!"
