Chapter 24 Past Events
Unexpectedly, Awu stood up immediately and pointed at the sky and said, "No! Madam, don't misunderstand. Since the slave has become his slave, he will follow his wife for the rest of his life and serve her loyally. He will never have a second thought, nor will he still think of his former master!"
Lu Yuanning was amused by her reaction and joked: "Then why do you want to see your young master? If you weren't thinking about him, how could you leave me alone and can't wait to see him?"
A Wu said anxiously: "That's because I thought something happened to the young master, and I want to save the young master!"
"What's wrong with your young master?" Lu Yuanning stopped teasing her when he heard this, for fear of making her sad again.
A Wu shook his head and said aggrievedly: "Young Master is not a big deal. But the young master was not happy when he saw the slave. Instead, he scolded him fiercely. The young master said that since he has followed the new master, he must put the new master first in everything and share the worries of the new master. You should not put the cart before the horse. The young master also said that if the slave still cares about him, he will not be qualified to do things for his wife anymore, and the wife will not want a slave who has two hearts like him."
"You young master is quite sensible." Lu Yuanning nodded in agreement, and then said solemnly: "He is right. If you miss the old master, I will not let you do things by my side."
What she wants is an absolutely loyal slave, not a servant with ulterior motives.
"But are you sure you won't be thinking about that young master anymore?" Lu Yuanning was a little suspicious.
Seeing this, Awu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to express his determination, "I will never have two intentions. I will only work hard for my wife in the future!"
"Get up!" Lu Yuanning did not make things difficult for her, and of course he did not believe her completely.
But at the moment there is no more suitable candidate around her, so she can only choose to trust her.
"Since that's the case, you will go and do a few things for me tomorrow." Lu Yuanning leaned over and gave a detailed advice in Awu's ear.
Awu immediately accepted the order and said that he would definitely help Lu Yuanning do his job well.
After this conversation, Lu Yuanning clearly felt that Awu was much closer to her. He no longer looked respectful and alienated as before, but truly treated her as his master.
...
After two days, Lu Yuanning did not go to the front hall to have dinner. He accidentally saw Lu Yuanying and Lu Yuanmin in the inner courtyard, and they both avoided him from a distance. The atmosphere was once very awkward.
Lu Yun was busy with the matter of the prince, and went out early and came back late. He had no time to talk to Zhu and Lu Yuanning, so he naturally did not notice any strange things in the mansion.
It was not until the third day that Lu Yun came back to have dinner after finishing the court affairs. He saw that Lu Yuanning was not at the dinner table and asked Zhu. Seeing that she was hesitating, he realized something was wrong.
"It's only three days after Ning Niang came back. Can't anyone in this mansion tolerate her?" Lu Yun's face looked ugly, and he left this coldly and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Zhu was extremely wronged, but there was no time to explain, so he could only follow him step by step.
Lu Yuanmin blushed and said angrily: "I thought my elder sister was wise before, but now she seems to be just a stupid person who is confused! Well, since she wants to help her wet nurse and maid, don't blame us for turning against us!"
Lu Wenting actually noticed something strange these days, and he was even more worried when he heard this, "Ying Niang, what happened? Why did Ning Niang hide from us these days? Why did Min Niang say such words?"
Lu Yuanying sighed, "It's not a big deal, it's just that a maid next to my elder sister had an unhappy relationship with Min Niang. My elder sister's wet nurse also felt that Min Niang couldn't tolerate them. My elder sister might be affected by them."
Lu Yuanying thinks that the eldest sister is not stupid, she probably only focuses on feelings and has a soft ear!
Although such a person has a good character, it is really awkward to encounter things.
She shook her head and walked towards the inner courtyard.
I hope my grandfather and my grandmother don’t argue about my elder sister.
She didn't want her family, which had always been harmonious, to become noisy, so she was really tired.
...
Lu Yun and Zhu have arrived at the inner courtyard.
As soon as they entered the west courtyard, they ran into Awu with a hurry.
Zhu quickly stopped her, "What are you doing so panickedly? Is Ning Niang in the house?"
A Wu looked anxious and said in a crying voice: "Head of the family, madam, little lady, she suddenly fainted. I have to go out to find the doctor!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't care about Lu Yun and Zhu's reactions and hurriedly ran forward.
Lu Yun and Zhu were both stunned. After reacting, they quickly walked towards Lu Yuanning's house.
At this time, Lu Yuanning had been placed on the bed by Aunt Ji and Qinshuang, and he looked very pale and fragile.
Qin Shuang looked worried, "Why did the little lady suddenly faint? Since leaving Yanling, the little lady has been sick every few days. I don't know if she had bumped into something."
Aunt Ji looked calm and said slowly, "Let's talk when Awu invites the doctor! I don't know what the head of the family is busy with these days. Ning Niang is so sick that she should ask someone to tell the head of the family."
As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the house. The next second, Lu Yun had already lifted the curtain and entered the house.
"What's wrong with Niang Ning? Why did she suddenly faint?" Lu Yun took two steps at once and hurriedly walked towards the bed.
Qinshuang and Aunt Ji were both startled by the sudden sound.
They stood up subconsciously and saw a middle-aged man wearing a fourth-rank official robe and gentle and handsome faces walking towards them.
"Home, head of the family!" Qin Shuang recognized Lu Yun at a glance. Although the man in front of him looked much older, his facial features were exactly the same as the handsome boy in the painting.
Her face turned red with a sudden "slight" look.
Aunt Ji naturally recognized Lu Yun, who was one of Wang Yuniang's many dowry maids back then.
On the day Wang Yuniang got married, she followed Wang Yuniang and saw this son-in-law at first glance.
Seeing how outstanding he is, how amazing he is, how gentle and considerate he is, he has attracted the admiration of women.
That year, my son-in-law was only eighteen years old and was already a well-known young man in Yanling City.
Who didn’t envy, jealous and hate Wang Yuniang back then?
She was also envious, but she was neither jealous nor hated.
She was very content because she could stay by Wang Yuniang's side and could keep looking at her son-in-law silently.
Who would have thought that Wang Yuniang would marry her in just two years. No matter how she cried and said that she didn't want to, Wang Yuniang ignored it.
As a slave and a servant, she could not be independent of life and death. She could only be forced to marry a rough person who didn't even know a big word.
It’s ridiculous that Wang Yuniang also feels that she should be grateful if she lets go of her body.
What a self-righteous master! Why should she use her ideas to control her life?!
She used to be just trying to look at her son-in-law from afar! Why can't even satisfy her this insignificant wish?
Fortunately, God has eyes.
Wang Yuniang suffered retribution and died of dysfunction.
And she returned to her son-in-law.
