Chapter 143 143: Asking for Lu Xiang

  Qiao Jingru wanted to tell Lu Xiang about her uneasiness after smelling the fragrance of Lu Chao yesterday, but she suppressed the thought after only a flash in her mind.

  Recently, Lu Chao has been gentler to her a lot, and she doesn't want her unnecessary suspicion to make their relationship worse.

  She... is extremely greedy for the tenderness Lu Chao gave her now.

  Thinking about it, Qiao Jingru was no longer too entangled in her heart, why would she bother others with things without evidence.

   "Let's go, have breakfast, I'm busy these days."

   Lu Xiang smiled and nodded.

   After breakfast at the old lady's place, everyone dispersed.

  Lu Youping went to the front yard, and someone with a lower official position in the Ministry of Industry came to pay him New Year's greetings. After seeing his colleagues, he went to Anguo Gong's mansion with the New Year's gift.

  There was an endless stream of people and cars coming and going in front of Duke Anguo's mansion. Given the Song family's status in the court, there were as many people who wanted to hurry up and give gifts to flatter them. Lu Youping just thought that he is still in the rank of Lord Ango now, and his daughter is blessed by the empress, so he has to give gifts on the first day of the new year to show that he is sincere enough.

He didn't expect to see Duke An, as long as the gift he gave was known by Duke An, it would be fine, but after he reported to his house, he was led to a room in the side hall by a small steward in the mansion. Not long after An Guogong came to meet him in person, Lu Youping was so surprised that he almost choked to death with a sip of tea.

If it is only because Lu Xiang is loved by the queen, an official position like Lu Youping does not need Mr. An to meet him in person, but Lu Youping does not know, but the empress told him a few words, the most important point is that the eighth prince sees The girl who went to his house.

  Based on this, An Guogong has to be more polite to Lu Youping.

  The two chatted for a few words, and then Lu Youping left. After all, Mr. An was very busy, and so many important officials in the court were waiting for him to talk about things, so how could he stay with his little servant all the time.

   On the second day of junior high school, Lu Yao went back to her natal home, packed with a carriage full of small packages of New Year gifts.

  Lu Yao went to Fu'an Hall by herself. The old lady had already heard that she was returning home today, so she called Qiao Jingru and Lu Xiang to wait together.

  Back when Lu Yao married and came to the capital, because of the long journey, she never even returned home after marriage.

   "Greetings to grandma, all blessings to grandma." Lu Yao entered the room and saluted the old lady.

   "Sister-in-law, third sister."

  Lu Xiang stood up and returned the gift to Lu Yao: "I have seen the second sister."

   "Second sister, sit down quickly." Qiao Jingru said with a smile.

  Bi Zhu served tea to Lu Yao, the old lady looked at her kindly with a smile and said, "Didn't Huai Cheng come with you?"

   "My father-in-law went out with my father-in-law to socialize. Before coming here, he specially told me to confess my crime to my grandmother, and then come to visit my grandmother when I am free." Lu Yao said.

  The old lady waved her hand and said: "It's okay, there are always a lot of social gatherings during the Chinese New Year, and your father and your eldest brother also went out early in the morning."

  Lu Yao: "Thank you, grandma."

   "It's rare to celebrate the New Year together, so stay at home tonight?" the old lady asked.

  Lu Yao nodded with a smile: "Well, the yard my father prepared for my daughter has never lived in it."

  The old lady was very happy when she heard the words, and quickly ordered Mother Wen to ask someone to make Lu Yao's bed. The yard is carefully cleaned by maids every day, but because no one lives in it, the house is relatively deserted, and nothing is made on the bed.

   "Yes, servant girl will go now." Mother Wen left in response.

   "Grandmother, I heard that Aunt Liu is pregnant?" Lu Yao asked.

  As soon as the child was mentioned, the old lady smiled all over her face: "Exactly, we are going to have a baby again in our house, but this baby has severe morning sickness, so I didn't ask her to come with me today."

Lu Yao nodded knowingly: "I brought some supplements for Aunt Liu's body, and I will send someone to deliver them to Aunt Liu later, so I won't disturb Aunt Liu's rest." She didn't know Liu Shi well at all, and she Although she is a concubine, she is the master of the Lu family, so there is no need to visit her aunt, not to mention that the second son of the Zhou family she married is the main wife, so it would not be rude not to go.

   "You have a heart." The old lady smiled.

  At this time, Zhao Qingya raised the curtain and walked in, first saluted the old lady, and then saluted Lu Yao.

  Lu Yao returned a half salute: "Aunt Zhao."

  Looking at Zhao Qingya who was wearing a woman's bun in front of her, Lu Yao sighed in her heart.

   When she saw her a few months ago, she was still a maid beside her grandmother, but she suddenly became her father's aunt.

   I heard that it was the grandmother who promoted it on her own. Except for the fact that the father married the aunt, it was the grandmother who made the decision. For so many years, the father didn't care who he took as a concubine. The grandmother suddenly gave the maid in the yard to the father this time. There may be something behind it.

  Lu Yao was puzzled, but she would not ask casually.

   After having dinner at the old lady's place in the evening, I left with Lu Xiang and the others to return to their respective courtyards.

   On the way back, Lu Yao walked beside Lu Xiang, looking at her from time to time, obviously hesitating to speak, seeing that they were about to leave without listening to Lu Yao.

  Lu Xiang looked at Lu Yao with a smile: "Second Sister, it's still early, why don't you come and sit in my room?"

  Lu Yao was flattered: "Is it convenient?"

   "It's nothing inconvenient, these two days when we have nothing to do, we'll roast sweet potatoes and chestnuts in the house, not to mention it's delicious, let's go together, sister-in-law." Lu Xiang said.

   "Then excuse me." Lu Yao smiled softly.

  It was still in Lu Xiang's room. Ah Man moved the stool early and started her roasted sweet potato business.

   "Go and prepare more sweet potatoes and millet seeds, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat later." Lu Xiang went into the room and said to them.

   Mu Jin hurriedly got up: "Go, slave."

   "Liangchen, Haitang, don't hold back, sit together." Lu Xiang said to Qiao Jingru and Lu Yao's maid.

  Liang Chen naturally sat beside Ah Man, staring at the stove curiously.

  Haitang has never had such an experience before, looking at Nian Lu Yao with some trepidation.

  After being shocked, Lu Yao smiled and nodded to Haitang: "Sit down."

  The third sister, Zhenshi, don't impress people for three days, but seeing this, Lu Yao is more sure of what she wants to plead.

  The stove is not big, crackling and sparking.

  Lu Xiang looked around at the crowds of people sitting there, and was stunned.

  She only paid attention to inviting Lu Yao to come, forgetting that if she had an unspeakable secret in front of so many people, it would be even more difficult for her to speak.

   "Well...Second Sister, there seems to be a lot of people. If it's inconvenient, let's go to the outside room to talk."

  Lu Yao heard Lu Xiang's thoughtful words, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart: "It's okay, can I not trust the person you trust?" And she wasn't plotting to do something big.

  Lu Xiang nodded: "Second sister, if you need my help, just ask, as long as I can do it, I will spare no effort."

"Then I'll just say it straight." Lu Yao said, "I've been married for so long, but I haven't been able to conceive, and I've seen many doctors take medicine but it doesn't work. You are loved by the empress, so I want to ask you Could you ask the imperial physician in the palace to show me?"
