Hiding her pregnancy and divorce, she stopped licking and the general panicked

She knew that the only one who loved her the most in this family was Mrs. Zhu.

"Grandma, save me, wuwuwu... I know I'm wrong."

"Aunt, please save me. Baozhu will never dare to do that again."

When Mrs. Zhu heard her call her "Auntie", she recalled the hard days when she and her younger brother depended on each other for survival in her childhood.

Baozhu is her brother's most beloved granddaughter. If she were beaten to death, how would she explain to her brother?

Old Mrs. Zhu was anxious, but she didn't know what to say. After all, Baozhu was a girl from her Zhu family, and if she spoke out, she would easily be criticized.

She could only wink at Wang. Although Wang was reluctant, she did not dare to disobey her mother-in-law.

Wang could only say a few words symbolically, mainly saying that Xiao Zhu was weak and could not withstand twenty beatings.

It's a human life after all. Even if you want to beat him to death, you have to wait for the Zhu family to come.

If the Zhu family had not sent anyone yet and little Zhu had died in the Lu family, then the General's Mansion would be in the wrong.

The old patriarch remained unmoved. When he had hit her with ten boards, little Zhu fainted, and then the old patriarch stopped.

Someone from the Zhu family came soon.

The Zhu family originally farmed, but with the help of Mrs. Zhu, they came to the capital and started a business. In recent years, they have lived a relatively wealthy life.

When Mr. Zhu learned that his granddaughter had done such a heinous thing and was caught red-handed, he knew that it was useless to say anything.

"Since this rebellious girl has already married into your Lu family and committed such a serious crime, you can either divorce her or kill her. It's up to you to decide.

The old patriarch said directly: "Take her back and discipline her yourselves. Our Lu family dare not keep such a daughter-in-law."

"Youcai, give her a letter of divorce."

Lu Youcai couldn't wait to go back and write a letter of divorce, and then let the Zhu family take him away.

After the matter was settled, it was almost dawn and everyone went back to rest, looking sleepy.

Su Yujiao went to bed early without waiting for the results of the treatment. Xiao Zhu was not as important as her own health.

The next day at noon, Zhou came back and heard that Xiao Zhu had cursed her grandson. She was so angry that she scolded Xiao Zhu again.

"Jiaojiao, why do I feel like these two children look a bit like Old Seven?"

"Could it be that this child is really destined to be with you?"

Zhou held the child and looked at him from left to right. The more she looked, the more they resembled each other.

Su Yujiao was a little nervous. She was really afraid that Lu Ziqian had strong genes and the child would be too similar to him, which would arouse their suspicion.

"How can they be similar? Mom, please stop comforting me."

"I don't think it looks like one at all. A baby that's only one or two days old is all wrinkled and can't even open its eyes. What can you see?"

Zhou smiled and said, "That being said, I do feel a bit similar."

"It's a good thing this child looks like you. It will save people from gossip in the future."

"You sleep a little longer, I'll take them to find the nanny."

"Even though you don't really have to observe the confinement period, you should still pretend to do so and get some extra weight while you're at it. You're too thin."

"You should eat more brown sugar and egg water to gain weight so you look better."

Su Yujiao nodded: "Listen to mother, I do have a good appetite recently."

She really needed to nourish herself well, and she planned to keep going for sixty days. Although it was not a caesarean section, she was pregnant with twins, and her body was indeed very weak.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. The two children were fair, tender and chubby. They became cuter and cuter, and their eyebrows looked more and more like Lu Ziqian.

This led to Zhou liking the two children very much. Although she knew in her heart that they were not her biological grandchildren, she couldn't help but feel that the two children looked like her sons.

Moreover, when she saw the two children, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy, as if she felt closer to them than to her own grandchildren.

Therefore, Su Yujiao hardly held the child in these two months. It was either Xiaotao or Zhou who held the child, and her two sisters-in-law also couldn't let go of the child.

In addition, the two children are very well-behaved. They don’t cry or make a fuss at night, and they are not tiring during the day. They are well-behaved when someone holds them, and they babble and suck their fingers when no one holds them.

In short, Su Yujiao rarely heard these two children cry, and she couldn't help but sigh again that they were really two grateful babies.

The Chinese New Year is approaching in the blink of an eye. Lu Ziqian has been away for almost a year and there is still no news of his return. Moreover, the letters he sends home are getting fewer and fewer.

I used to receive a letter every two weeks, but recently I haven't received a letter for two or three months.

Although, Su Yujiao did not read the letter he wrote, nor did she write back to him.

But the letters are becoming less and less, which is not a good sign.

She guessed that he might be in danger, or the battle situation might be bad and he was too busy to handle everything.

On the night of New Year's Eve, a palace banquet was held in the palace. Zhou received an invitation from the queen, asking her to bring Su Yujiao to the palace to attend the banquet.

After all, Lu Ziqian fought bravely on the battlefield, and the court should give preferential treatment to her wife, children and the elderly.

What's more, the Lu family is the queen's family, so they should be invited.

"Jiaojiao, if you don't want to go, then don't go. The Queen won't mind." Zhou knew that she never liked attending these banquets.

However, this time was an exception. Su Yujiao said, "Mother, the Queen has invited me, how can I not go?"

"What's more, I have prepared a gift for the Emperor and Empress."

Zhou smiled and said, "If you're willing to go, that's fine."

"Then pack up and let's leave early. Dress up beautifully so that those ladies will envy me for having a good daughter-in-law."

Zhou smiled with pride.

Su Yujiao nodded, not wanting to spoil her mother-in-law's joy, but she didn't dress up.

Instead, she dressed very low-key, in a light pink pleated skirt, with only a magnolia flower pinned on her head and a simple and lustrous mutton-fat jade pendant tied around her waist. The pendants jingled as she walked, and she was like a lotus emerging from the water. With just a little dressing up, she surpassed countless women.

Seeing her dressed so simply and elegantly, Zhou asked, "Jiaojiao, why aren't you wearing that set of twelve ruby headpieces?"

Su Yujiao smiled embarrassedly: "That set is too expensive, my daughter-in-law is reluctant to wear it."

Zhou scolded: "What's so expensive about it? I bought it to wear."

"Besides, if you don't wear it on an occasion like tonight, when will you have the chance to wear it?"

"Go put it on quickly, otherwise people will think that our general's mansion is mistreating our daughter-in-law."

Su Yujiao stood still: "Mom, I don't want to be too conspicuous. I think this dress is good."

"Besides, my husband is not at home. Who would I show off to if I dressed up so extravagantly? It would only lead to gossip."

Zhou was stunned. Jiaojiao was indeed thoughtful.

She had a simple idea and only wanted to dress her daughter-in-law up beautifully, but she didn't expect that it might bring her trouble.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived at the palace early, and before the banquet started, the queen called them over to chat.

The queen held Su Yujiao's hand and kept criticizing the prince, saying that what he did was very unkind.

Then she said that she had sent someone to secretly protect Su Yujing and told her not to worry too much.

The queen was very approachable, and her eyes were full of pity and heartache when she looked at Su Yujiao.

Soon, the banquet began. After three rounds of drinks, ministers began to send New Year gifts to the emperor and empress one after another.

"Your Majesty, I would also like to give you a gift."
