Chapter 313 Mother's Tricks
The air froze instantly.
In the past few days, Lu Qingyao has put aside her prejudices.
I carefully considered the arrangements for my second sister-in-law and her daughter from beginning to end.
The second sister-in-law's upbringing was completely different from that of her siblings. She grew up under very traditional etiquette and her marriage to her second brother was arranged by their parents.
now think of it.
My second sister-in-law always seemed out of place after marrying into the Lu family.
Her talent, which she was so proud of in her youth, became a source of self-admiration within the Lu family.
Mother speaks her mind freely, and her favoritism towards her eldest sister-in-law is blatant.
My second brother was away fighting battles all year round, and he had no one to accompany him. In his spare time, he liked to look at picture books and gradually became sensitive and thoughtful.
Lu Qingyao thought about it and realized that apart from being petty and having a heavy heart, her second sister-in-law hadn't done anything to harm the Lu family.
At least in terms of exile, she could have left the Lu family, but she did not abandon her husband and daughter, and was willing to share the hardships with the Lu family.
This is something many women cannot do.
For this reason alone, she cannot abandon it.
Family members are different from others; even if someone makes a mistake, you're always willing to give them more chances.
Hopefully, we will see them realize their mistakes and turn back from their wrong path.
Originally a pampered young lady raised in seclusion, she has now suffered misfortune, and her only daughter has been rejected and her engagement broken off.
Although they understood the greater good, they still harbored feelings of disappointment, frustration, and resentment deep in their hearts.
Lu Qingyao pondered for a moment, then beckoned her niece over, "Yun'er, are you willing to listen to what your aunt has to say?"
Although Lu Zhiyun did not understand what he meant, she still nodded and said, "I'm willing."
After spending these few days together, although she rarely left the house, she knew that her aunt was a capable person.
I had misunderstood before.
Seeing that she was listening, Lu Qingyao continued, "Yun'er, you are a good child. Although your family has been a burden to you, your previous marriage was not necessarily a good one either. The Fan family was eager to sever ties with our family as soon as they heard a whisper of it. They are not worth your lingering feelings."
At this point, Lu Zhiyun's eyes reddened again.
His eyes were fixed straight ahead, and tears streamed down his face.
She was well aware of these principles, but whenever she thought about them, she always felt resentful.
I only regret that I was born a few years too late and didn't get married earlier.
Unlike her aunt Wan, who married a few years before her and is now the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, she will become the mistress of the Marquis's mansion after her husband inherits the title.
Lu Qingyao gently patted her hand, "Yun'er, some things can't be rushed, and some knots in your heart need to be untied slowly. It's not good for you to stay cooped up in your room all the time. What I think is that you should first learn how to manage the household affairs from your aunt. It will also help your aunt share some of the burden, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Zhiyun nodded.
She didn't want to stay idle at home listening to her mother's endless chatter.
Seeing that his brothers and sisters all had decent jobs, his cousin Lu Mingshan followed his grandfathers to make achievements and uphold the reputation of the Lu family.
My cousin, Lu Mingxi, works in business with my aunt and is also contributing to the Lu family.
Even her younger cousin, Lu Zhizhi, had to go to school and accompany her grandmother and aunt.
As the older sister, she couldn't just sit idly by and wait to be supported by others.
She was willing to learn how to manage a household.
Although she had studied it before, it was all theoretical; now that it was real, she was a little nervous.
Grandma Lu looked at her granddaughter, who still had her eyes downcast.
Yao Yao had been trying to persuade her for a long time, but only managed to utter a single word, which made her feel somewhat unhappy.
She said bluntly, "Zhiyun, your grandmother knows you harbor resentment and hatred, but as a descendant of the Lu family, you have been raised by the Lu family and provided with a life of luxury since childhood. You have borne the honor of the Lu family, and you must also bear the disgrace of the Lu family. Don't be so smug all the time. No one in the Lu family owes you anything. Don't mention concubines again. You don't necessarily need to get married to survive. As long as you don't get married, the Lu family will support you. As long as I am here, no one will dare to look down on you."
“Grandmother, I…I’m willing. I’m willing to learn how to manage the household affairs from my aunt.” Lu Zhiyun’s tears streamed down her face.
She always thought her grandmother disliked her, and because her grandmother was strict, she never dared to get close to her.
Now that she's an older single woman, she feels like she's not welcome anywhere, and even her aunt's family can't accept her.
That's why her mother, in her desperation, tried everything and rushed to marry her off.
original……
It turns out I was overthinking things.
Her grandmother did not despise her.
She didn't necessarily want to marry Mu Yunji.
To be honest, she had never even seen that person's face.
The reason she admired him was because he had always taken care of her in exile, and she couldn't help but feel some admiration for him.
But she couldn't tell whether this feeling was admiration or romantic love.
She stepped forward and knelt before Grandma Lu, promising, "Grandmother, Yun'er knows she was wrong, and this will never happen again."
"Alright, it's good that you know you're wrong. Get up. From now on, stay with your aunt and take good care of yourself. As for your marriage, your aunt and I will find a way." Grandma Lu helped her up and finally saw a few traces of her former self in her granddaughter.
She smiled with relief.
It's just a matter of announcing an engagement; the Lu family's children won't give up so easily.
Lin was somewhat hesitant, and she had to admit that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law had some truth to what they said.
It's unbelievable that my mother-in-law would say something like "I won't get married."
But as the daughter-in-law, she couldn't very well argue back.
However, as long as her mother-in-law and sister-in-law take Yun'er's marriage to heart, she can feel a little more at ease.
The younger sister-in-law was acquainted with Princess Yuqing and thus climbed the social ladder.
It's only a matter of time before the Lu family is reinstated.
Although she didn't get the job of housekeeper, it wasn't impossible for her daughter to follow her sister-in-law.
Yun'er will eventually get married, and after marriage, she will also have to manage the household affairs.
It's good to learn now.
But everyone in the family has their own chores, even her daughter, so she's become a laughing stock for being idle.
"Third sister, what about me? Do you think your sister-in-law is clumsy and can't help you?"
Lu Qingyao knew she would overthink it, so she smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, what are you saying? I have something important to tell you."
"What important matter?" Lin's eyes lit up.
Lu Qingyao stroked her daughter's head, then stood up and went to Lin Shi. "Second sister-in-law, as you know, Miaomiao grew up in the countryside and is only now beginning her formal education. She has no manners or etiquette whatsoever and is as wild as a monkey..."
“Yes, I think so too.” Madam Lin nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Why do I have a bad feeling?
The longest road she has ever walked is the one paved with her mother's tricks.
Then I saw my mother bow to my second aunt and start praising her, "Second sister-in-law, your Lin family is a family of scholars, passing down poetry and books, and you are good at educating your children. Every member of the Lin family is a pillar of society, and the Lin family daughters are famous for their elegance and virtue. So I would like to entrust you with the important task of teaching Miaomiao and Zhizhi manners and etiquette. I wonder if you would be willing to teach them?"
Lin stood there dumbfounded, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Since marrying into the Lu family, she had never heard anyone praise or acknowledge her like this before.
At this moment, she was filled with mixed emotions.
Old Madam Lu and Madam Lan were also somewhat surprised, but they didn't say anything.
Undeniably, the Lin family has a very upright family tradition, perhaps too upright, and everything they do is done in a rigid and formulaic manner.
It's good to teach these two wild children; I wonder who's having the headache.
All eyes were on the little girl.
Miao Miao couldn't swallow the pastry she had just taken a bite of.
Sure enough, Mother's schemes are quite sophisticated.
They must really hate to see her living a carefree life.
I feel like crying!
