My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

How could she complain about the noise?

It was obvious that he just didn't want to share the plate of freshly washed apples.

"Mom...I want to eat an apple!"

Lu Xingyuan licked his lips and looked at the big red apple on the plate, his saliva was about to flow out.

Lu Xingan also whispered, "I want to eat apples, too!"

The two children of the third room are both sons. They were valued by the old lady in the mansion in the past, so they dared to ask for things.

The children from the fourth room didn't dare to speak at all.

"Eat, eat, and eat!"

Lu Shengshi glared at his two nephews and said, "Go out with your mother, and you will get your share later!"

The third and fourth wives came out with their children.

The four children wiped their tears unwillingly, and asked their mother and aunt aggrievedly if they could give them an apple later...

"Waiting for your cruel aunt to give you an apple is just a dream!"

The third room lowered its voice and said, "Now that Aunt Mei's son is back, all these things belong to him. Even your grandmother is trying to curry favor with him and saying all kinds of good things about him. If we can get a share, it would be like pie in the sky!"

"What should I do?"

The fourth room was extremely anxious: "If things continue like this, the adults may be able to bear it, but the children really won't be able to endure it!"

"It's just a scolding, but you can let your children watch helplessly? In these years of famine, I don't know how many people in the countryside starved to death! We used to live in Kyoto, so of course we didn't know these things... I heard people here say yesterday that in the past, when there was a famine, whoever had fat in his stomach would survive!"

The third room made up his mind and approached the fourth room and whispered, "Since they can drive us out like this, why don't we just go all out! Let's go..."

The third room dragged the fourth room and sneaked into the west wing.

She had just watched carefully and saw that the coachman put all the things Lu Xingcheng brought into the west wing. There was nothing in this wing before except some dried vegetables. Today, it was suddenly filled with the food Lu Xingcheng brought back, and there was no time to lock the door.

After the third roommate entered, he said fiercely: "If you want to eat meat, just grab a piece for yourself! Also, take some of the rice back with your clothes!"

The fourth room nodded, and the two of them, with their children, took seven or eight pieces of bacon and some rice and quickly returned to their room!

"The doors and windows are all closed tightly. We can't let the smell get out!"

The third room said, and the fourth room quickly went to close the window. The two of them took the meat to the well, washed it, and threw it directly into the pot to cook it. They also washed the rice and steamed it, all in one go.

In the room, Madam Lu ate three apples in one breath!

I only eat until my appetite is full!

Lu Shengshi and Aunt Mei also ate one each, even the apple.

"Hey, it's worth it if I can still eat apples in my life!"

Old Madam Lu had seen all kinds of decent fruits before, but now she was so moved that she wanted to cry when she ate an apple.

Lu Xingcheng sighed, "This year, the flood has hit the house, and life is not easy everywhere. But the people in the capital are not that bad, they just cut down on food and clothing. If we were still the same as before, grandma wouldn't have to suffer this kind of pain."

"Wen Qiqi killed our Lu family!"

Lu Shengshi gnashed her teeth and said, "Xingcheng, you are doing well in the palace now, you must seize the opportunity, if you can bring Wen Qiqi down, don't show any mercy!"

"Soft hands?"

Lu Xingcheng sneered and said, "Aunt, you are joking. If it weren't for her, I would have been sent to the Cining Palace and had my virginity castrated? If I could really bring down Wen Qiqi one day, I would definitely make her wish she was dead! How could I still care about the mother-son relationship!"

"Yep!"

Madam Lu leaned on the mattress and panted, "As long as our Lu family survives, we will not be afraid of running out of firewood! Xingcheng, you are in the Cining Palace now..."

"When I first arrived, I didn't dare to work too close to the Queen Mother, because I was a newcomer and didn't have the opportunity. Firstly, I was afraid that the Queen Mother had seen me at the martial arts competition and had some impression of me. Secondly, we had just arrived at the Cining Palace and could only do some rough work outside!"

As Lu Xingcheng spoke, tears welled up in his eyes: "I was originally a scholar, and I never thought I would have to do such rough labor! I don't know how to do it, so I was inevitably scolded! I was almost kicked out of the palace again, but fortunately... fortunately, someone secretly took care of me!"

"In the past six months, I got a chance and my appearance has changed a lot. I am not worried about being recognized, so I changed my life and went to serve the Queen Mother!"

He showed a smug smile on his face: "To be honest, I am also very careful. I always think about the way Lord Yu used to speak and the ways to please the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes me very much! Recently, I said that I wanted to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, and the Queen Mother agreed! She also asked me to take good care of my family and asked someone to give me enough money!"

Lu Xingcheng's words made Old Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi very happy, but Aunt Mei hesitated to speak, tears streaming down her face.

"Xingcheng, you...you..."

What she wanted to ask was naturally about the matter of purification, but she really couldn't ask it out loud.

"mother!"

Lu Xingcheng guessed what Aunt Mei wanted to ask, so he said, "My son's suffering is as bad as death. However, my son has also figured out one thing... I am alive just to settle accounts with Wen Qiqi one day!"

His words made Madam Lu and Lu Shengshi praise him endlessly, and Aunt Mei also nodded: "You must be careful, don't let her find out that you are in the Cining Palace now!"

"Even if my son wants to see her, he will never be able to! You people in the countryside don't know that Wen Qiqi has been following the Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince to go to war since she divorced my father! It is said that she brought Die Jiu and Xinyi with her at that time... Later, she was abducted and her whereabouts are unknown! It is said that she is in East City!"

Lu Xingcheng was beaming with joy: "This is already known to everyone in the palace. The Queen Mother and the Emperor are very dissatisfied with this, but they didn't show their anger because of the face of the Wen family! Even if Wen Qiqi really returns to Kyoto one day, the Emperor will be suspicious of her because she has lived in Dongcheng for such a long time, and naturally he will never treat her the same way as before!"

Madam Lu slapped her thigh and said, "Great! Great! God has eyes! There is still hope for our Lu family, there is still hope..."

At this time, the third and fourth rooms had already steamed a lot of rice, and a child filled a big bowl with it.

When the four children saw the white rice, they stuffed it into their mouths like crazy!

"Don't just eat rice, there's meat too!"

A large pot of cooked bacon was placed in front of them, and a large piece was stuffed into each person's bowl!

The third and fourth wives also stuffed their stomachs desperately, and did not forget to tell their children: "Eat slowly, let's eat quietly today! If you are full today, don't tell others if your teeth are broken tomorrow!"
