Aunt Mei was so angry that she was out of breath. The fourth wife was timid and afraid that if she and the third wife made her angry to death, they would have to face lawsuits, so she came up to persuade her. Unexpectedly, she was slapped in the face by Aunt Mei!

"You little bitch, you dare to bully me!"

Aunt Mei scolded, "When you entered the Lu Mansion, I was lucky that I didn't bully you. Otherwise, how could you have your own child?"

As soon as these words came out, the third and fourth wives looked at each other. The third wife spoke quickly and said, "From what you said, it seems that you were the one who killed Wen Qiqi's child... I was wondering why you were so determined to force your son to be the legitimate son. It turns out that you had already prepared it!"

"That's right, we can't do such a wicked thing as yours! No wonder your son is now a eunuch!"

"Hehehe... Exactly! At least we have our child by our side. No matter how poor or hard it is, it's better than some people living a life worse than death!"

The third and fourth wives kept arguing with each other, which made Aunt Mei so angry that her heart ached. She covered her tears with her hands but couldn't help crying, and finally burst into tears.

Outside the Lu family, a carriage stopped.

The third and fourth rooms glanced at each other and said, "Look, who's here?"

"We still have guests visiting us at this time... We must have gone to the wrong house!" Lu Zhanyao was now returning to Kyoto secretly, so how could he come in a carriage so openly?

The third and fourth wives didn't take it seriously and continued to quarrel with Aunt Mei who was lying on the ground. Suddenly, someone behind them said, "Shameless things, how dare you bully my mother!"

The two were startled and looked back quickly.

The person standing behind him was none other than Lu Xingcheng.

After not seeing him for a year, Lu Xingcheng had lost some weight and grown half a head taller. His whole appearance had changed...

"The eldest...eldest young master?"

The third wife was quicker-witted and came to her senses first. The fourth wife also said, "Is this a dream? Isn't the eldest young master a… a…"

Lu Xingcheng yelled, "Shut up! You really thought I died in the palace and couldn't come back, so you dare to bully my mother like this!"

As he spoke, he had already pushed open the doors of the third and fourth rooms and walked straight towards Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei was lying on the ground, staring at her son with her eyes wide open and her mouth open, unable to make a sound.

Lu Xingcheng went over and picked up Aunt Mei. After Aunt Mei stood firm, she took two breaths and pinched her thigh hard: "Ah... it hurts! It hurts! Xingcheng... Mom is not dreaming! Are you really back?"

"Yeah. Mom!"

Lu Xingcheng whispered, "Mom, I'm not dreaming! Not only am I back, I've also brought a lot of things... Where are grandma and aunt? Are you just going to watch the third and fourth rooms bully you like this?"

In the past, Aunt Mei was the most favored among Lu Zhanyao's many concubines.

Overtly or covertly, Madam Lu only treated her as her own daughter-in-law. Everyone in the Lu family knew that this concubine Mei, who was deeply loved by Mr. Lu, was much more respected than Wen Qiqi's legal wife.

"Woooooooo..."

Aunt Mei cried so hard that she couldn't make a sound. She hugged Lu Xingcheng and kept stroking his shoulders and back...

"My son, my son is really back! If you don't come back, I will really die here."

"Mom, don't worry! I'm in the Cining Palace now, and I'm considered to be respected. This time I came back, I brought back a lot of things! Knowing that my mother is suffering here, I will definitely not ignore it."

After Lu Xingcheng finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the driver at the door, "Move the things in."

Back in the house, Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi just sat there, not wanting to pay any attention to the third and fourth rooms bullying Aunt Mei in the yard, but they suddenly heard a noisy sound. At first they didn't pay attention to it, but then they heard someone saying something about the Cining Palace... and shouting for people to move things in, so they hurried out.

"Oh, my oldest grandson!"

When Mrs. Lu saw Lu Xingcheng, she burst into tears and ran towards him, regardless of her weak legs. But her eyes were fixed on the two bags of grain and one bag of bacon that the driver brought into the yard...

Lu Shengshi was also delighted and came over to hold Lu Xingcheng's hand!

"Xingcheng, you didn't even bother to bring home any news this year! Grandma was so worried about you! Aunt Mei...you're just worrying about nothing! You're even worried that Xingcheng isn't getting along well with the public. My mother has always said that Xingcheng is smart and will never be buried like ordinary people!" Lu Shengshi said flatteringly.

The third and fourth wives were already envious of the food and kept holding their shriveled stomachs...

The children from the third and fourth rooms also ran over.

Lu Xingcheng ignored his brothers and sisters, and just looked at Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi with a distant look: "If Grandmother cares about me, she should also take good care of my mother! When I came back just now, my mother was lying on the ground..."

"Ouch!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu quickly said to Aunt Mei, "You are such a sensible child. You didn't even bother to come in and complain to me when you were wronged! Third and fourth rooms, just wait for me! I'll deal with you later!"

Mrs. Lu spoke in a pretentious manner. Seeing the driver bringing in more than fifty kilograms of fresh apples, she really couldn't help it.

"Come in and talk! Sheng Shi, wash the apples..."

Lu Xingcheng was invited into the house with Aunt Mei in a very stylish and airy manner.

The third wife was not convinced and cursed from behind: "How capable do you think you are? You got a high position and returned home in glory? Don't you know how to embarrass yourself..."

"Keep your voice down. We got a lot of stuff back. Take a look at the two bags of food. They look like rice!"

Room 4 lowered their voice and spoke into Room 3's ear.

The third wife said, "White rice and black rice may not be cooked for us to eat. Food is life these days! We just offended Aunt Mei... Didn't you see the look in the old lady's eyes? She was about to turn the grain into her rice pocket!"

"Then...what should we do? My Yuchan was so hungry last night that she vomited yellow water!"

The fourth roommate's eyes turned red: "Yu Qiao is better. The old lady gives her a few more mouthfuls of wild vegetable porridge every day. Yesterday, she gave her half a vegetable bun!"

The two children of the fourth room are named Lu Yuqiao and Lu Yuchan.

Yuqiao is a boy, he is six years old, and Yuchan is only four years old, already as thin as a bean sprout.

If the woman with the blue birthmark had not warned that the Lu family must have at least one child, Mrs. Lu would have probably already thought of selling Yuchan so that she could get some money and have one less mouth to feed.

"In this case, we can't just sit there and wait."

The third room made up their minds and followed everyone into the house pretending to be obedient. Madam Lu held her eldest grandson's hand tightly. After the apples were washed, she looked at the third and fourth rooms and said, "I have something to say to my grandson. You take your children out first! Don't make a scene!"
