As expected, Liu Xiang married Liu Anyao to Xiao Muheng. Not to mention that he was a talented person, even if he was a idiot, Liu Xiang would find a way to make him an official, not to mention that his daughter went back to ask for it in person.

The old lady glanced at Lu Youping calmly and said, "Don't say anything disappointing and let's eat."

She still understands what her son is thinking.

He was so unbalanced not because of his overwhelming sense of justice, but because he was unwilling to fail the exam as well. Xiao Muheng entered the Imperial College, while Lu Chao had to study for another three years.

After receiving such a glare from the old woman, Lu Youping immediately shut his mouth.

After a pause, he said again: "Mom, I have to leave Beijing for a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in time for the results release day."

The old lady looked at him in surprise: "Where are you going?"

"There is something wrong with the Jiangcheng Dam. I was sent to find out the situation. It's not a big deal. It just takes about a month to go back and forth."

The result day was half a month later, so he had no chance to hear the news that his son had passed the exam immediately.

Of course, it is very likely that he will fail, but as a father, you have to have some expectations for your son.

The old lady nodded clearly: "Okay, you can go, the house doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhao Qingya asked: "When will the master leave?"

Lu Youping: "Tomorrow morning."

"In such a hurry?" Zhao Qingya put down the chopsticks in her hand and stood up hurriedly: "I will go back and pack the clothes for the master right now."

Lu Youping pulled her to sit down and smiled: "Don't worry, there are servants here."

"Qingya, don't be in a hurry, sit down and eat first." The old lady looked at Zhao Qingya and said.

Zhao Qingya hesitated for a moment, nodded with a gentle smile, and sat down again.

Nowadays, apart from the grounded Aunt Lin, she is the only aunt in the house, and there is no mistress. She and the third lady get along well, so her life is not very comfortable.

Perhaps it was because the master no longer had the ability to have children and was betrayed by the Liu family, so he had no intention of taking any more concubines. At most, there were two maids with the same wife in the front yard. These were not important to Zhao Qingya.

threaten.

She has the love of the old lady and the support of the third lady. She has nothing to be afraid of. Even if Aunt Lin is released from the ban, it will not be any threat to her. After all, Aunt Lin has not been favored in more than ten years, she might as well have given birth to her own child.

beautiful.

Zhao Qingya knew very well what she wanted. Since she decided to be Lu Youping's concubine, she didn't have any thoughts about Lu Chao. After all, when she first wanted to be Lu Chao's concubine, she just wanted to live a good life and didn't have much feelings for her.

What's more, Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru had a close relationship. How could she have thought so hard that she would commit such a death?

In early September, the weather became cooler and cooler.

The cool sunlight shines through the Fushou patterned window and falls on the ground.

Lu Mingzhu was lying on the bed. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight. Her belly, which was originally invisible due to its plumpness, could now be seen as slightly bulging.

She placed her palm on her lower abdomen and stroked it again and again, but her face was expressionless, and even her eyes lacked the joyful light from before.

Crunch——

The door opened and Qin's mother walked in with anti-fetal medicine.

"Auntie, it's time to drink medicine."

She stood beside the bed and whispered.

Lu Mingzhu's dark eyes moved slightly, looked at Qin's mother, and asked: "Where is your husband?"

Qin's mother's face stiffened. Since she was banned, her aunt has been asking several times every day, but now their yard is being guarded and the news cannot come in at all.

The fact that the eldest young master went to the Imperial Academy to be the director was only found out through the chat between the two gatekeepers.

"Drink the medicine first." Qin's mother handed the medicine bowl forward and said.

How does she know where the eldest young master is?

Even if he knew, the eldest young master would not come to see his aunt.

Lu Mingzhu turned her head away, her slightly pale face looked so fragile and beautiful at the moment, which made people want to take pity on her.

It's a pity that now Xiao Muheng only feels full of hatred and disgust for Lu Mingzhu.

It's so cool and selfish.

"What's the point of having a safe pregnancy?" Lu Chaozhu said bitterly.

Qin's mother lowered her eyes and advised, "Auntie, don't say that. This is the eldest young master's first child. As long as he is born, the eldest young master will definitely think of you again and forgive you."

"Give birth?" Lu Mingzhu lowered her head and looked at her slightly bulging belly. It had been more than three months: "When I give birth to this child, my husband will send him away. In this case, I still want this child to be my mother."

What?"

Qin's mother was suddenly shocked when she heard this: "Auntie, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Lu Mingzhu didn't answer, she just kept silent and touched her belly repeatedly, with a struggle in her eyes.

After a while, the struggle in her eyes calmed down, as if she had made some important decision. She looked up at Mother Qin and said firmly: "Mother Qin, this child cannot be kept."

Qin's mother shook her hand and spilled half of the medicine on the bed.

She hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and wiped it with a handkerchief, but Lu Mingzhu grabbed her wrist and forced her to look directly into Lu Mingzhu's eyes.

The ink in the depths of the dark eyes is surging, like a bottomless black hole that wants to swallow people in.

Qin's mother stared in shock.

"Mother Qin, you are the only one who can help me now. If I want to get out of this situation, this child must die."

Qin's mother thought that Lu Mingzhu would not give up, but she never expected that she would be so crazy and use her own flesh and blood as a bargaining chip.

"But...but aunt, this is your own flesh and blood."

"There will be children again, but this is the only chance." Lu Mingzhu gritted her teeth and said solemnly: "If I want to turn over, I have to win."

Qin's mother looked at Lu Mingzhu blankly: "But..."

"Help me." Lu Mingzhu said in an unquestionable tone.

Qin's mother looked troubled for a long time. After a long time, she said: "What do you want to do, aunt?"

"I want an abortion pill."

"Our yard is guarded, and the slaves can't get out."

"Mother Qin, bring me my makeup box."

Qin's mother responded and turned around to give the makeup box to Lu Mingzhu.

Lu Mingzhu opened it and took out half of the gold and silver jewelry inside. Then she took out a key from under her pillow. She stood up and took out a small box from the closet and opened it. There were silver ingots and banknotes inside. She gritted her teeth.

Take out all the silver ingots and put them in Mother Qin's hand.

"Although the guarding woman is acting under orders, you still have a chance if you send the money out of the house."

Qin's mother looked at the silver and jewelry in her hand and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

These have been Lu Mingzhu's lifeblood in the past, but this time he took out so many at once, which shows that he is determined to do something big.
