Chapter 5 Being born in the same month, year, and day

《 全家偷听我心声杀疯了,我负责吃奶 》

Listening to my thoughts made the whole family go crazy, now all I need to do is eat.


 


Chapter 5 Being born in the same month, year, and day


Dengzhi also recalled this incident.

It took her a long time to come to her senses.

Master Xu taught Xu, and Xu taught... Lu Yuanze!

Many people are capable of imitating handwriting, so the misunderstanding is likely due to this." Dengzhi replied dryly.

As far as this matter was concerned, Xu had no evidence. As she listened to Chaochao's voice, she made some guesses.

Despite her swollen and red eyes, she whispered, "Go get a brazier, don't alarm anyone." Her heart was racing.

Is it really him?

Was her bedmate lying and framing her?

Why! Why!! Without a doubt, it was Lu Yuanze who asked for her hand.

The red in her eyes showed that Xu was furious.

Upon entering the mansion, Lu Yuanze invited her to teach writing. How sincere has he been?

In the past, she felt only warm, but now she feels cold.

He explained that he felt depressed in Xu's house since she hadn't been home for 15 years.

She hadn't contacted her parents in a long time.

Her parents' festival gifts had never been opened!

She refused to eat her mother's sour plums despite morning sickness and pregnancy!

Xu felt trapped in a thin and dense net.

A mistake would shatter her like a lie.

[Don't be afraid, beautiful mother. Chaochao will help you, you're loved...mua mua]

A few moments later, Xu noticed her little daughter's watery eyes, pouting lips and her eagerness to kiss her.

[There will be no stopping me from raising the banner for my mother!]

[Mother, let's go!]

Xu's depression eased slightly. How could she be so virtuous and capable of obtaining such a valuable object?

It was impossible to resist kissing Lu Chaochao.

Her tears wiped away as she laid the child down.

A brazier was lit, and lamp oil was poured over the carving.

A sigh of relief came over Xu as she watched the wood carving burn out.

"It's time to wash up, Madam. The two days she was in confinement almost brought everything to a halt. You have cold sweats and cry frequently." Dengzhi felt bad for her.

A sense of weakness spread throughout Xu's body.

She also realized her body couldn't handle the strain.

Her eldest son was her daily visit, but she was unable to get out of bed these two days, so she stopped going.

"Do not worry, I'll discipline them every day."

In her sighed, Xu's eyebrows always carried a trace of sadness.

[Please don't collapse. Our lives are at stake... woo woo woo]

Her heart knew it, so she suppressed her emotions and cared for herself during this time.

After a long absence, Lu Yuanze returned home.

Her heart was chilled.

"Have you decided on the date for the full moon banquet?" she asked after recovering some strength.

It has been decided. I have notified Deshan Hall and the Marquis, but the old lady appears to be frowning and wants to change the date." Yingxue said.

"After the full moon, she seemed to have grown up. She is so beautiful. I have never seen a child as beautiful." Yingxue couldn't help but sigh.

God truly blesses the young lady.

Xu lovingly touched her daughter's face.

She was not visited by the old lady or master during confinement.

Is it possible the old lady knew the concubine gave birth?

Have they seen the bastard?

The bastard was treated as a pearl and treasured, but she was ignored every morning. Only a nanny delivered her gifts, which she did not appreciate.

Fortunately, she would love her daughter 100%.

Her conversation was interrupted by someone outside the door reporting that Nanny Lin had arrived.

Dengzhi personally welcomed Nanny Lin. Nanny Lin smiled and appeared friendly.

"The old lady is ill, and the marquis is busy in court. Could we adjust the date of this banquet?"

Nanny Lin looked confident as she asked, "Why don't you wait until the hundredth day?". Madame has been generous and kind throughout her life, and she is sure she'll agree. Over time, she's gotten used to it.

[Humph, liar! Dad wants to attend Lu Jingyao's whole-month banquet, don't be fooled! ]

Xu's breathing seemed stagnant.

All this is known to the old lady, isn't it?

"Please inform mother."

"My only daughter, Chaochao, is too precious to let down. I asked someone a few days ago to invite the eldest princess to bring blessings."

Nanny Lin is stunned. The lady rejected her for the first time.

Somewhat uncomfortable.

In spite of this, her eyes lit up when she heard the eldest princess.

Princess eldest is His Majesty's only sister. She hasn't given birth to a child despite many years of marriage. Her Majesty feels sorry for her.

The Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion will naturally benefit from a friendly relationship with the eldest princess.

"I will report to the old lady. It's possible that the old lady will be able to hold on." Nanny Lin guessed with her toes.

Her only concern is that the old lady and the Marquis will break their commitment to go there.

A glance at the baby in the cradle made her smile.

This look startled her.

With arms like lotus roots, red lips, and white teeth, the chubby baby would delight anyone.

Better than the one outside.

Afterwards, Nanny Lin sent someone back and forth, and the old lady agreed.

Late at night.

Marquis came home, too, after an extended absence.

In his tone, resentment still lingered.

"Why did you choose March 6th?" Jingyao's full moon banquet was on that day.

When Xu heard that the Marquis hadn't returned for a month, and that he had blamed me upon returning, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"It was simply Yunniang's intention to plan for her husband, and she had invited the eldest princess specially."

"As a husband and wife, I want to help. Who am I after so many years? Doesn't the Marquis already know who I am?"

"In ten years of marriage, has Yunniang ever caused trouble? If I am ill, I am still obliged to look after your sister-in-law and be filial to your mother-in-law."

Lu Yuanze looked embarrassed.

Xu has a better family background than my cousin, regardless of how gentle she is.

"As my long-term spouse and one who knows me best and is most considerate of me, I do not mean to blame you." Lu Yuanze could not resist coaxing her.

Sighing, she leaned into his arms, smelling a faint fragrance not hers. "The Marquis must return on the sixth of March. Big brother may also return to Beijing." With a broken heart, she comforted him.

She rarely spoke of her eldest brother and had lost contact with her natal family.

Yuanze Lu agreed right away.

[On March 6th, the Xu family was investigated for witchcraft. Oh my god, I hate these people!] Lu Chaochao stood with her mouth open.

In a flash of hatred, Lu Yuanze asked, "Now that big brother is back, it's time for him to be promoted."

With a smile, Xu said, "As a woman, how can I understand these things? My brother works at the border, where wars constantly occur. He received his promotion at the risk of his life."

"We have a lucky Chaochao. The north has been suffering from severe drought for many years, and the people are almost forced to flee the famine. On the day Chaochao was born, it rained." Xu seemed pleased with the rain, and she even distributed wedding candy candies at the Marquis' Mansion.

A slight frown appeared on Lu Yuanze's face, and he replied softly.

Looking outside the door, it's unclear what he was thinking.
