Chapter 199 Cowardly
An Shengxin, who moved to the courtyard, hoped that the monthly money he should have was the monthly money he should have. Even the daily meals became the porridge and pickles that even the servants and mothers below were not willing to eat.
An Shengxin has not resisted, but the result of the resistance is that not only less than half of the people left by her side have gone, but only a big girl and a wet nurse are left. Even the clear porridge and pickles that were originally available every day have begun to become intermittent.
When the concubine was pregnant, the child had not been born yet, but the doctor had seen it as a son. The concubine couldn't wait to find a mistake and completely sent out the only two remaining serving people in An Shengxin's side.
If the two of them had not been prepared before the concubine entered the door, they would have taken them and their family's contract to sell their eldest son to the yamen to remove their slaves.
I’m afraid that when they saw that they could not be bribed and insisted on following An Shengxin, they were directly pulled out and bought it.
After all, when An Shengxin was forced to leave her original yard, she couldn't take out any valuable things except for the old clothes and bedding.
If she hadn't arranged a way out for the two most trusted people around her, they would have been dragged away by someone to sell them.
Since then, no one has served An Shengxin, and no one has ever delivered food to her yard. The concubine who was beating her was not leaving her a way out, and she wanted to help her upright after starving her to death.
Fortunately, An Shengxin's only surviving eldest son, Lu Yanbo, was already in his teens and was moved to the front yard early.
Although my father ignored it, the servants below refused to serve him wholeheartedly. But at least, the front yard was not the place where the noble concubine could reach.
Therefore, An Shengxin's eldest son can still get monthly silver every month and eat.
He was very smart and filial at such a young age, and he was thinking about An Shengxin in his heart. Even if he was touching quietly every day, he would have to look at An Shengxin. This did not make An Shengxin trapped in the yard really fulfill the wish of that precious concubine.
In recent years, there were Lu Yanbo’s monthly money, and An Shengxin’s own retreat left by herself - the name of the big maid and the wet nurse next to her, and more than a dozen acres of land outside the capital. Only then can An Shengxin be able to eat and wear a lot.
By the time An Shengchang finally got the news about An Shengxin, she had already transformed from a daughter and lady who once had no golden pride and no trace of spring water and could not touch anything to a woman who could cook by herself, cook by herself, and also know how to raise chickens and ducks by herself.
Even planted vegetables and food in the small courtyard of her son and daughter-in-law. In a huge mansion with a sense of wealth everywhere, she lived a poor life like a country woman.
Because he was devoted to his own mother, in order to protect his own mother's life, Lu Yanbo carried An Shengxin on his back and not only threatened the concubine but also threatened his father Lu Maoshou. He said that if his mother had a mistake, he would not hesitate to kill him and even bring people from the mansion to bury him.
Because of his threat, the concubine finally stopped and did not dare to continue to attack An Shengxin. However, since then, Lu Yanbo was disgusted by his father Lu Maoshou, his grandfather, his grandmother and even his uncles, and scolded him for being unfilial. Most of the cousins were far away from him and no longer close to him.
When Lu Yanbo reached the age of being able to marry, Lu Maoshou used less than 300 taels of silver and hired him back to the capital because his original wife was too tough and he was not allowed to take concubines. The Yun family, the legitimate daughter of the fifth-rank military general.
The general was born in poverty and was only obtained by military merits. He had poor family background and had many children in the family. Even if he was determined to give his daughter more dowry, he could not do anything. In the end, he could only barely raise a thousand taels of silver for his daughter as a dowry, and then married his daughter.
After such a marriage, the rest of the Lu family were gloating.
Especially when he knew that Yun was like her biological mother, she was not very good at looking and was stingy by nature. He actually dared to make a fuss when Lu Maoshou's concubine Xiaolin was not kind enough to send a girl to Lu Yanbo. He was shameless to give the concubine, and he directly scolded him to humiliate the concubine and joked that Lu Yanbo was so pitiful in private.
But they didn't know that they were very satisfied with the Yun family and Lu Yanbo.
Because except An Shengxin, no one in the Lu family knew that the Yun family was actually Lu Yanbo's own preference and went to the door to promise with the Yue family that he would not take a concubine even if he had no children. After the negotiations, he planned to let Lu Maoshou help him marry him.
Lu Yanbo had long seen clearly that his and his biological mother An Shengxin's current situation would be a disaster if he married someone who was a little weaker in his family.
......
After knowing all this, knowing the difficulties of his own sister and the only remaining nephew over the years, even though An Shengchang felt extremely painful and angry, he still refused to see An Shengxin and his nephew.
But naturally he would not continue to watch, and continued to watch An Shengxin and the foreigner Lu Yanbo, as well as his nephew's wife and their two sons and daughters continue to live such hard life in the two adjacent small courtyards of the Lu Mansion.
An Shengchang first asked Lin Lailu to arrange to send six maids who were good at martial arts to An Shengxin, and then gave her clothes, jewelry and silver notes of ten thousand taels.
The same is true for Lu Yanbo. In addition to the servant who is good at martial arts and a silver note of 10,000 taels, he also gave him a three-entry house in the inner city not far from Lu's mansion, so that he could send his two sons to practice martial arts with the master of martial arts in the daytime, so as not to delay the child.
After the things and people were sent over, An Shengchang did not let anyone hide it from An Shengxin and the foreigner Lu Yanbo, all of them were their own, so as not to make random guesses, otherwise it would be even worse.
An Shengchang originally thought that after An Shengxin knew that he had done this, he would propose to see him. But who knew that he had waited and waited, but he refused to wait until An Shengxin came to pass the message.
Since this is the case, An Shengchang did not force it, but only told Lin Lailu not to forget the lessons that he should have given to his so-called brother-in-law Lu Maoshou and his concubine.
Afterwards, even though An Shengchang left the capital, he still did not forget it. He paid attention to the news about An Shengxin and his nephew Lu Yanbo from time to time.
Before, An Shengchang had never heard of anything wrong with An Shengxin. Now that Xin Sulan suddenly mentioned it, he would be surprised if he didn't startle.
