I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang came to Mother Lu's courtyard again. He was in a much happier mood than when he came to call Father Lu just now. He shouted from a distance: "Mom, I came to see you."

Mother Lu was packing up, apparently having just finished her meal. She smiled and said, "Didn't you just watch it? Why are you here now?"

Lu Jintang chuckled and said, "Just now you came to call your father, and now you come to see you. Did you just finish your meal? How does it feel to cook for yourself?"

Mother Lu smiled and said, "I feel very happy cooking now. If you asked me to cook five months ago, I would probably be a little reluctant. After all, I haven't cooked in so many years. I only make soup occasionally, and I have a maid to help me. You don't know that your father almost set the kitchen on fire this morning when he started the fire."

Seeing his mother's gentle smile, Lu Jintang also smiled and said, "Father can even light a fire. It's really hard for him. By the way, Mom, is the food you cook delicious? I'll come to your place for dinner tomorrow."

Mother Lu raised her hand and hit Lu Jintang, saying, "Are you still teasing your mother? You also ate the soup I made when you were little? How could you forget?"

Lu Jintang shrank his nose and sniffed around pretentiously, "Why don't I remember? When did you ever make soup for me? I'm afraid there's not even a drop of soup left?"

Mother Lu pretended to be angry and said, "No, no, only the shit you poop after eating is yours."

Lu Jintang: “…”

Lu Jintang suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, his face flushed all the way to his ears. He held it in for a long time before he said sheepishly, "Mom, how can you say that about your own son?"

Mother Lu looked at her son and couldn't help laughing. She knew that her son was shy, so she stopped teasing him.

Lu Jintang looked at Mother Lu's hearty laughter and smiled too, saying, "Mom, let me tell you something. Please don't be angry first, okay?"

Mother Lu stopped laughing and looked at Lu Jintang and said, "Tell me about it."

Lu Jintang: "I agreed not to be angry. I want to talk to you about Concubine Li and Concubine Qin. I think their intentions are not pure."

When Mother Lu first heard about Concubine Li and Concubine Qin, she was a little unhappy, but when she heard that they actually had a purpose, she immediately became interested and asked, "What do you mean? What did you find out?"

Lu Jintang looked at the gossipy and curious mother Lu, and said slowly: "Madam Li is not simple, she should be able to use illusion, have you discovered it?"

Mother Lu looked at Lu Jintang, lost in memories. After a long while, she said, "No wonder... No wonder... Now it makes sense. I was just saying, why do I always do things that I can't figure out?"

Lu Jintang asked, "Tell me a few things."

Mother Lu blushed, feeling a little embarrassed. But looking at Lu Jintang's expression, she was afraid that it would be useful to them, so she turned around and said softly, "Your father didn't want a concubine at the beginning. When I was pregnant with your eldest sister, it should have been just over a month. One night, your father came back, took my hand and said he had been poisoned and wanted me to help him. But we were afraid that it would be bad for the baby in our belly, so we asked Aunt Liu to help your father. It was also at that time that your eldest sister was born."

After Mother Lu finished speaking, she stood up and walked a few steps to the window. She continued, "After that, your father didn't go out for social events for a long time, or he went to the military camp. He didn't come back until three months after your eldest sister was born. Then your second sister was born."

"One afternoon, your grandmother found me and told me about your father's near-death experience as a child. She said she met a sister she hadn't seen in years, who had an orphan daughter and entrusted her to her care. She was reluctant to accept the offer, so she agreed to be a concubine for her own son. She told me that if I didn't like her, I could just leave her there and your father wouldn't have to worry about her. Just like that, Concubine Li came into the family. For the first two months or so, everything went peacefully. Concubine Li came to pay her respects every day, morning and evening. One day, she suddenly came to help me, saying that pregnant women needed to move around more, and she talked to me about something. That night, I actually forced your father to go to her room. Your father disagreed, and I had a big fight with him. Then your father went to the study, and Concubine Li also went to the study. I don't know why, but in the end, your father went to Concubine Li's room, and the next day I had a big fight with him."

Mother Lu paused after she finished speaking, then turned to look at Lu Jintang and said, "Your father said I was being unreasonable. I was the one who asked him to go, and I was the one who was unhappy when I went, but I don't remember anything at all? Just said that your father was so hungry that he didn't care what he ate? Your father also thought he had that kind of illness. To verify it, he went to Aunt Liu's place many times, but he didn't have any impulses. Suddenly, one time, they were together again, and they were still very exaggerated. Then Changyu and Changfeng were born."

Mother Lu came over and sat down at the table, grabbing Lu Jintang's hand and saying, "You have to investigate thoroughly. I think there's definitely something fishy about Concubine Li. Concubine Qin was later discredited by your father. After she came in, the situation was the same as Concubine Liu's. They were both together when your father couldn't help himself. As for Concubine Li, I begged him to go. If he didn't go, I would be very angry."

"Later, your father had no other choice but to go to the military camp. To prove that he wasn't sick, he took Concubine Qin with him. Three years later, he only had one child, Lu Changxia. I heard your father say that Concubine Qin forced him to have sex when he was injured. After your father came back, the situation was the same as before, and your father couldn't control himself again."

"Later, your grandfather became ill, and your father stayed in the military camp almost all the time. He didn't come back for almost ten years. He came back to report on his work once, but he only stayed for one night. Then I had you, and your father stayed in the military camp almost all the time after that. He didn't come back until this incident happened." Mother Lu finished speaking in one breath. She looked exhausted and couldn't even sit still.

Lu Jintang supported his mother and waited until she calmed down before saying, "Mother, Aunt Li is a spy. It seems someone sent her. Father and grandfather both know about it. Do you know?"

Mother Lu was shocked. Father Lu knew who sent the person, so it must be related to him. Could he say that?

Mother Lu shook her head and said, "I don't know about this. You can ask your father. Okay, I'm tired too. You can go back now!"

Seeing his mother clearly knowing but unwilling to speak, Lu Jintang shook his head and said with a smile, "Mom, if you don't know, forget it. Why are you chasing your son away? I also want to talk to you about Miss Yang. When are you free? I'll go see Grandma. Can you help me go?"

When Mother Lu heard Lu Jintang's tantrum, she smiled and said, "Qingming Festival is coming soon. It's not a good time to go around Qingming Festival. I'll go to your grandmother myself. I'll go tomorrow and I promise to help you find a girl."

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Thank you, mother. You are always the best to me!"

"You little bastard, who has treated you badly? Go back and get some rest. It's so late, and you're still bothering your mother. Are you trying to trick her into giving you milk?"

Lu Jintang: "..." Thinking that his father was such a disgusting creature, he stood up and left.
