Chapter 478 I'm Old
So even if she couldn't leave the house, even if everyone in the house was in a panic, she was not afraid at all.
The wife of Marquis Yongkang lay in bed, counting the days secretly.
So many days have passed and there is no news from outside, and the old marquis is not in good health now.
I don’t know if the Marquis’ Mansion can survive this disaster.
She was secretly hurting herself when she suddenly smelled a fragrance in the air.
She frowned. How could there be the smell of meat when there hadn't been any meat in there for a few days?
The servant put the food on the table outside, and Nanny Li went into the inner room.
"Ma'am, please get up and eat something."
Mrs. Yongkang sat up and asked, "What's that smell?"
Madam Li smiled and said, "There are bacon and scrambled eggs. Please have a bite."
"Where does the meat come from?" People in the mansion are not allowed to go out, and people outside are not allowed to come in. Where can there be any meat in this mansion?
"It's Madam Yu. I got it from Madam Yu."
"she?"
Mrs. Yongkang Hou was a little bit unconvinced.
"Is she so kind?"
As she said this, Nanny Li turned around and walked to the table, picked up her chopsticks and took two bites of each dish.
It’s not that she doesn’t trust Lu Shian, but the wife of Marquis Yongkang doesn’t trust Yu Xiuying.
"Madam, rest assured. I have eaten these ingredients before. They are not poisonous."
Seeing Nanny Li like this, Madam Yongkang laughed at herself and said, "It's already this late, and I'm still afraid of being poisoned."
Nanny Li helped her get up and walk to the table. The first thing she did after sitting down was to eat a mouthful of rice.
She was stunned after just one bite.
"This rice?"
"Oh, this rice was also given by Madam Yu Shao. She said that she estimated that there was not much rice left in the mansion, so she brought a bag over."
She sneered: "She's living a good life."
Obviously, this rice cannot be bought with money. It is clearly the fragrant rice that is tribute to the palace.
The sweet and soft rice, served with slightly spicy bacon and scrambled eggs, was so delicious that Mrs. Yongkang actually ate two bowls.
Seeing that the wife of Marquis Yongkang ate well, Nanny Li was very pleased, and it was worth it for her to give up her face and ask Madam Yu for help.
After the meal, the complexion of the wife of Marquis Yongkang looked much better and she seemed more energetic.
She let out a long sigh and said, "Let's go and see the Marquis."
Nanny Li got the ingredients from Yu Xiuying, and after she prepared them, she also sent a portion to the old marquis.
The old marquis also had a good appetite and ate more than he had eaten yesterday.
As soon as Lu Jingxun entered the Marquis' room, he smelled the fragrance of food, which was mixed with the aroma of rice. He was very familiar with this smell.
If he couldn't stand Yu Xiuying's sour face, he would be willing to go to her house for dinner every day.
Seeing that his father had eaten a lot, his uneasy heart finally eased.
"Father."
The old marquis nodded. Seeing that he was wiping his mouth, Lu Jingxun knew that he had finished eating, so he went forward and helped him to the bed.
"What day is it today?"
"To answer my father, today is the seventh day."
"The seventh day should be here soon."
He sighed, "It should be soon."
He had been in the court for so many years, but he could never guess the emperor's mind, just like now. No one knew what the emperor was thinking.
Placing court officials under house arrest in their mansions was something that had never happened before. In the past, when officials did something wrong, they would either have their property confiscated and be exiled, or their entire family would be executed. These were always quick and accurate. But now, they were placed under house arrest in their mansions, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
If there is no food in this house, it will be the end of their lives.
But if you say you want to kill the people in the Marquis' Mansion, that's not right. Why put them under house arrest? Wouldn't it be easier to just put them in jail?
Or does the emperor also suspect that there is something fishy going on?
Or is it because of Lu Shian?
Lu Shi'an is the prince's concubine, and this concubine is different from other women. She can grow high-yield crops, and there are already legends about her among the people, especially in Wanning Prefecture. It is said that there, the three words Lu Shi'an have become legendary.
But will this granddaughter really protect the Yongkang Marquis Mansion?
The old marquis narrowed his eyes slightly.
She would, she definitely would. Her mother was still in the Marquis' Mansion. As long as the Marquis' Mansion treated Yu Xiuying well, Lu Shian would definitely find a way to protect her mother, which would also be considered protecting the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion.
Yongkang Hou looked up at his son and said, "Xun'er, have you ever resented your father?"
Lu Jingxun was stunned and quickly replied: "Never."
Yongkang Hou nodded and said, "I am old. If you can get through this time, I will teach you this mansion."
Lu Jingxun was stunned for three seconds. When he understood what the Marquis meant, he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, father. I will be good in the future and will never let others look down on our Marquis Mansion."
royal palace.
Lu Shian was summoned by the Queen Mother this morning. Since she married into the Prince's Mansion, she has rarely gone to the palace.
This was also the first time she entered the palace after she became pregnant.
Although everyone deliberately downplayed the fact that she was pregnant at her request, the Queen Mother still allowed her to walk around the palace on a sedan chair.
When they arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, the Imperial Noble Consort was also there. Both the Imperial Noble Consort and the Empress Dowager were very happy to see Lu Shian.
Imperial Concubine: "Come here quickly and let me take a look."
The Queen Mother: "I knew this girl was blessed. She got pregnant right after entering the Prince's Mansion. This shows how amazing our Shi'an girl is."
Even though Lu Shian was a man of the future, he couldn't help but blush: "Grandmother, are you praising me?"
"Of course I'm praising you. This is the prince's legitimate son. You must be careful, understand?"
Lu Shian nodded. Of course she was very careful. She didn’t watch the palace fighting drama for nothing. The first thing to do when pregnant was not to celebrate, nor to show off, but to keep a low profile.
Although Qin Jingzhi would not harm her, there might be villains hiding in the dark.
She was right to be careful anyway.
Lu Shian had her hands full when she came here, as the weather was getting warmer, so she brought over the fruit she was best at.
"Mother, Imperial Grandmother, please try it."
The Queen Mother had eaten fruit salad before, and when she saw fruit salad again, she couldn't suppress her smile.
"Oh, I've been thinking about this for a long time, waiting for the weather to get hot so I can have a bowl of it."
The Imperial Concubine also brought it over: "Since the Imperial Grandmother would like to remember something, I, the daughter-in-law, must enjoy it."
"Let's make it clear first. You can't compete with me for it."
As they talked, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and I all laughed together.
Outside the palace, Li Hongyu stood there, listening to the laughter inside and the reports from the palace maids.
He heard it clearly. When the palace maid said it was him who came, the Queen Mother's voice was obviously not that happy.
But he was still allowed in.
They are both grandsons, but the treatment they receive is completely different!
But Li Hongyu has long been accustomed to such differences!
