After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

When the Lu family returned to the courtyard, before they even sat down on the bench, a maid from Songtao Garden came forward to deliver a message.

"Second Madam, the old lady is not feeling well. Second Master is not at home right now. Aunt Zhang asked me to invite you over."

"Why are you feeling unwell?"

Lu was surprised for a moment, but without thinking too much, she immediately walked towards Songtao Garden.

Cuizhu followed her, and the two of them arrived at Songtaoyuan, where they ran into the doctor from Jishidiang.

"Doctor, what happened to my mother-in-law?"

Doctor Ding was carrying a medicine box on his back. Seeing that Lu was dressed elegantly, he guessed her identity.

He sighed, "The old lady is old and has many hidden diseases. Now she is suddenly in great sorrow and grief, which has triggered her heart palpitations. She must take good care of herself and must not get too happy or angry again."

After he finished speaking, a maid led him out the door.

Mrs. Lu looked at Doctor Ding's back, her eyes filled with confusion, "Is mother-in-law so sad because of the death of the third son?"

She turned and walked inside, muttering, "I didn't see how much she cared about the third brother when he was alive, and now that he's dead, she's so sad that she's sick."

When Lu entered the inner room, she saw the old lady lying on the couch with a headband on, looking sick, and Zhang Mom was stuffing a pillow under her back.

"coming."

The old lady raised her eyelids to glance at Lu, then drooped them weakly.

"What happened to mother?"

Mrs. Lu walked quickly to the bedside and asked with a worried look on her face, "Doctor, is it serious?"

Zhang Momo took a blanket and covered the old lady with it. She turned around and looked at Lu with a worried look on her face. "The doctor said that the old lady has a bad heart. She should not be too happy or angry. She needs to be taken good care of."

What she said was similar to what the doctor said, and Lu did not doubt it. "Since the doctor said so, mother should be well taken care of. The affairs of the mansion are in the hands of my sister-in-law, and you just need to take care of everything else and live out your days in peace."

The old lady listened to her stupid words, her hand rubbing her temple paused, and a flash of disgust flashed across her drooping eyes.

She gasped heavily, "I would like to let go of everything, but none of you can afford to start your own business. If you had worked harder, I wouldn't have to worry about you every day at my age!"

Zhang Momo brought a cup of ginseng tea over and fed it to the old lady, and advised her kindly, "The doctor said you can't get angry, so don't get angry with the second lady."

Mrs. Lu stood aside holding a handkerchief, secretly curling her lips.

What do you mean don't be angry with her? It's as if she said something irritating.

The old lady took a few sips of ginseng tea, then raised her hand to block Zhang Momo's spoon that was scooping tea.

She wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked up at Lu in front of her, and sighed, "The eldest son was not born from my belly, so I can't count on him. The third son's family is willing to be filial, but he is not around now. Now I can only count on you."

"What do you expect me to do?"

Lu blinked, not quite understanding what she said.

The old lady looked at her stupid appearance and couldn't help but twitching the corners of her mouth twice.

When Lu first got married, she thought Lu was pretending to be stupid, but after getting to know him, she found out that he was really not very smart.

Other people's minds are full of twists and turns, but hers is single-minded and never makes detours.

Zhang Momo lowered her head to hide the sneer in her eyes.

Relying on her status, Lu disobeyed her master in public that day and even mocked her master for being unkind and unvirtuous. It would be strange if her master would let her off easily.

Zhang Momo raised her head with a smile, "Second Madam, the old lady is not feeling well. As her daughter-in-law, you should serve her by her side to show your filial piety."

Lu frowned, "With a room full of maids and servants, can't you serve one person?"

"The people in this courtyard are servants. How can they be compared with my son and daughter-in-law?"

Zhang Momo sighed, "I'm old now, and I want my children and grandchildren to be around me more often. Second Master has been so busy these days that I can't get away. Now you're the only one who can show filial piety to the old lady."

Lu was unhappy, but it would be bad if she didn't serve her mother-in-law.

"Then I'll come to Songtao Garden these few days."

Zhang Momo glanced at the old lady out of the corner of her eye, then smiled and said, "Second Madam, why don't you stay at Songtao Garden? The old lady has been in a bad mood these days, so you can chat with her to relieve her boredom."

"But......"

Lu was extremely reluctant to stay at Songtao Garden. Before she could refuse, Zhang said, "If you are worried about the fourth young lady, why not let her come as well? The old lady is talking about it right now. It will be more lively with more people. Maybe the old lady will get better faster."

Even though Mrs. Lu was a fool, she could hear the threat in Zhang Momo's words. She immediately frowned and stared at Zhang Momo unhappily, "If you think the people in this house are not able to serve you, I can send someone to tell my third brother and his family to return to Beijing as soon as possible. It will be more lively if the whole family gathers in Songtao Garden!"

"Second Madam, you misunderstood. This is not what I meant."

Zhang Momo was startled and quickly bowed to apologize.

If this idiot Lu really did this and ruined the Third Master's future, the old lady would definitely skin her alive!

"Okay, it's OK as long as Lu accompanies you."

The old lady covered her heart with her hands, revealing a painful expression, "This is just for outsiders to see, why bother them!"

Zhang Momo smiled awkwardly, "The old lady is right, it is me who said too much."

"Then my daughter-in-law should go back and pack some things."

Mrs. Lu was afraid that she would make trouble for her daughter, so she did not refuse this time. She said something and took Cuizhu back to her Fangfei Garden.

"You know it's a hassle, but you still insist on serving me. Do you think I'm easy to control?"

Lu packed up her usual things while cursing, "There are seven or eight maids in the room, and they serve her when she eats, drinks, defecates, and urinates. She is not much worse than the empress in the palace. I don't know how to serve her to her satisfaction."

Cuizhu helped to clean up, then got up and went to Yang Momo's room and told Yang Momo about it.

Yang Momo put down the half-finished sole in her hand and frowned slightly.

"Whether the old lady is ill or not is still unknown, but it is obvious that her purpose is to torture our lady."

Cuizhu suddenly realized, "Could it be that our wife disobeyed her and went to the Buddha Temple a few days ago?"

"Of course it is."

Yang Momo has been accompanying Lu to the Yongning Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years, and she knows the old lady's personality very well.

"This old lady Hou is too narrow-minded." Cuizhu couldn't help cursing, "She's already buried up to her neck in the earth, and she still wants to torture her daughter-in-law by pretending to be sick!"

After cursing with gnashing teeth, she asked again: "Yang Momo, do you have any solution for this matter?"

Yang Momo shook her head, "If you are disrespectful to your mother-in-law, even if our old lady comes, you will not be in the right."

Thinking of Lu's violent temper, she couldn't help laughing again, "Don't worry, our Madam won't suffer any loss."
