Lu Wanning took two steps quickly and said, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Oh, please slow down and be careful with your feet." Mrs. Tao said and walked up to Lu Wanning and said, "Mom, come here and see how your feet are doing? Your feet are not healed yet. If you don't take good care of them, why are you running around?"

"Mom, don't worry. My daughter's foot just looks a little serious, but it doesn't hurt very much." Lu Wanning said and took Mrs. Tao's arm and said, "My daughter just went to pay her respects to her grandmother. By the way, I told her about her decision to enter the palace.

Got her."

"Just tell me if you tell me." Mrs. Tao sighed, quickly regained her composure, squeezed out a smile on her face, and said, "Hurry up and go into the house to rest. Although your foot has no broken bones, you can't.

You also need to take good care of it.”

She also figured it out last night. It was useless for her. She couldn't resist the noble concubine and the good old lady. She was just making her face sad and sad now just to make her daughter worry. She might as well act calmly.

Lu Wanning nodded: "My daughter knows. Grandma has exempted her from greeting her for the next few days. My daughter will not go there these days. She will stay in the house to recuperate."

The two of them entered Lu Wanning's room while talking. Lu Wanning sat down on the chair and said to Mrs. Tao: "Mom, you don't have to worry too much about your daughter. You should also take care of yourself."

Mrs. Tao shook her head and said, "Mom knows, so don't worry about me. Mom is fine."

Lu Wanning looked at the dark spots under Tao's eyes, but did not expose Tao, and said with a smile: "It's good that Mom is fine. It's the end of the month in two days, and my brother should be back from the academy. Mom needs to keep her spirits up.

Otherwise, my brother will have to worry again."

Lu Wanning's younger brother Lu Simo is only eleven years old this year, but because of his father and brother's accident, he is very sensible at a young age. He always feels that as the only man in their third family, he should protect his sister and mother. In addition to studying all day long,

I just worry about my sister Tao and Lu Wanning.

Lu Simo was admitted to Baiyun Academy last year. Baiyun Academy is the most famous academy in Dayong. It is very strict in recruiting students. Whether they are the children of high-ranking officials or wealthy people, if they want to enter Baiyun Academy, they must pass the academy's exam. Compared with

Imperial College and Baiyun Academy have a higher status in the minds of students all over the world.

It's just that Baiyun Academy is not in the capital, but on Hengyuan Mountain, which is dozens of miles away from the capital. It takes more than an hour to ride a fast horse from Baiyun Academy to the capital. Lu Simo usually lives in the academy, only every ten days.

I only go back home when the college is on vacation.

When Mrs. Tao heard Lu Wanning mention Lu Simo, she remembered that her son was coming back soon. She thought about it and said hesitantly to Lu Wanning: "Mom, I think you should not tell Mo'er for the time being that you are going to the palace."

Lu Wanning pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "My daughter thinks it's better to tell her brother."

The general elections of the Great Yong Dynasty have always been held in late spring, that is, around April. It is now the end of October, and it is not long before the election date. Even if it is hidden from Lu Simo, it cannot be hidden for long, so it is better to do it now

Tell him.

Moreover, Lu Simo was precocious, and they told him personally to prevent him from making random guesses after hearing a few words elsewhere.

Another point is that Lu Wanning wants Lu Simo to recognize the true colors of Lin and others as soon as possible and know that they are unreliable.

After listening to what Lu Wanning said, Mrs. Tao nodded and said, "In that case, let's let my mother tell him this when Mo'er comes back."

Lu Wanning nodded and said yes.

After the mother and daughter finished talking, Mrs. Tao told Lu Wanning to have a good rest, then stood up and left.

Two days later, Lu Simo returned home.

It was completely dark when Lu Simo came back from the academy. As soon as he entered the house, he heard about his sister's sprained foot. He was thinking about his sister. After greeting Mrs. Lin, he hurriedly went to Mr. Tao's yard to prepare to meet him.

Tao later went to visit Lu Wanning, but did not want to know from Tao that Lu Wanning was going to the palace to participate in next year's election.

Lu Simo couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and said to Mrs. Tao, "I'm going to see my sister." Then he hurried to Lu Wanning's Qinyaxuan.

Lu Wanning's sprained ankle was not heavy to begin with. After two days of rest, the swelling in her ankle had basically dissipated and she could no longer feel the pain. Seeing Lu Simo coming over, she was about to get up from her knees when she was stopped by Lu Simo.

"Sister, your foot is injured, just lie down and it will be fine."

Lu Wanning was pushed back onto the soft bed. Looking at the young boy in front of him who still had some chubby cheeks but looked like an old man, he smiled helplessly and said, "My feet are almost healed."

Lu Simo said: "It's almost healed, but it's not completely healed yet. You still have to pay attention."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Wanning leaned back on the big soft pillow and asked, "Are you going to pay your respects to your grandmother?"

Lu Simo nodded, "I went as soon as I got back. I went to see my mother after paying her respects to my grandmother."

Lu Simo wanted to ask Lu Wanning about entering the palace, but he didn't know how to ask. After a pause, he continued: "I heard that my grandmother wanted my sister to enter the palace, and my sister agreed?"

"Yes." Lu Wanning said: "The imperial concubine has chosen me among the sisters. I have no room to refuse. If I don't enter the palace, my grandmother will ask me to marry Prince Yu as a continuation."

Lu Simo's childish little face wrinkled up, "So, my sister was originally unwilling to enter the palace, but she had no choice but to choose to enter the palace, right?"

Lu Wanning did not deny it.

Lu Simo jumped to his feet, "Grandma and the imperial concubine have gone too far. I will go find grandma."

With that said, Lu Simo turned around and was about to go to Jifu Hall. Lu Wanning quickly grabbed his sleeve and said coldly: "Mo'er, sit down!"

Perhaps because of Lu Wanning's tone, Lu Simo sat down obediently.

Lu Wanning looked into Lu Simo's eyes and said seriously: "Mo'er, my sister didn't tell you this just for you to rashly argue with your grandmother."

When Lu Simo heard this, his eyes widened, his eyes were slightly red, and he said with aggrieved words: "If I don't quarrel with grandma, why don't I go and ask grandma to change her mind?"

Sure enough, she was still a child. Lu Wanning sighed and softened her tone and said: "Mo'er, sister knows that you are thinking about her, but it's useless. Grandma has made up her mind to send me to the palace, no matter how much you beg me.

She, she can't change her mind."

Mrs. Tao's threats to her death did not make Mrs. Lin swayed at all. How could Lu Simo beg her to be of any use?

Lu Wanning shook her head and continued: "Originally, my mother wanted to hide this from you, but I feel that although you are young, Mo'er, you have always been smart, so there is no need to hide these things from you."

"Although we are all descendants of the Marquis, in the eyes of my grandmother, the eldest brother and the concubine who will inherit the title in the future are the ones who can bring glory and wealth to the Marquis. The most important thing in her eyes will always be the eldest brother and the concubine. Except for

The eldest brother, the imperial concubine, and the grandmother love Wujiwu, and secretly she loves the fifth brother and the sixth sister."

"As for our other grandsons and granddaughters, they are all dispensable. We can be easily sacrificed for the prosperity of the Marquis Mansion."
