The eldest lady's charming face smiled happily, looked at Lu Qi, suddenly turned her head and whispered: "Aunt, since the seventh brother is back, then Bingyu will stay and serve you."

Lu's mother was slightly stunned, then nodded and smiled, "Okay, stay."

Lu Qi was inexplicably heard, and Lu's mother looked at him and smiled and said, "Xiao Qi, your sister-in-law Yang family has a matchmaker for you and betrothed the clan girl from the side of the Yang family to be your concubine. I said it ten days ago, but today I didn't expect you to come back."

Lu Qi suddenly realized that it was Mrs. Yang's wife. He expressed his sincerity to continue the marriage. His heart was truly moved. Mrs. Yang did not know that he was a Beijing official and was willing to marry him, a county lieutenant with an average future. At least half of it was because of the friendship between the fathers of Yang and Lu.

"Tianfeng thanks my sister-in-law for her love." Lu Qi stood up and thanked him respectfully.

The eldest wife smiled and received a gift. After Lu Qi returned to her seat, she said softly: "Bingyu is the most beautiful daughter of the Yang family. The seventh brother must take care of her in the future."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Bingyu will always be the concubine in the Lu family in the future, and I will not let her down." Lu Qi hurriedly promised.

The eldest lady smiled softly, stood up and said to Lu Muli, "Auntie, it's time for Jiayun to go back."

Lu's mother smiled and nodded, turned her head and said, "Tianyue, I'll give it to your sister-in-law."

Lu Tianyue had also stood up and responded softly. The eldest lady turned around and had a smile. After taking a few steps, she stopped suddenly. She turned to the maid who was following behind her and said softly: "Le Qiao, you stay with Miss Bingyu and serve Mr. Lu Qi together in the future."

The maid was stunned, but quickly lowered her head and said respectfully: "Yes, I will take the order."

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, turned around and continued to walk out. The maid followed her and Lu Tianyue sent her out. Lu Qi stood up and looked at her. She sat down when she couldn't see the person.

Lu's mother looked at her son lovingly, and Lu Qi also faced her mother with a smile. After a while, Lu's mother lowered her eyes and sighed: "Xiao Qi, the civil strife in the Yang family has become a precarious situation."

Lu Qi nodded. How could he not understand that the eldest wife of the Yang family was obviously a female protagonist who was unwilling to be defeated. As the wife of the head of the family, she would rather move to Shida County in the family division, which shows that she and the wife of the Yang family were already in the same power.

"Xiao Qi, the chief clerk of Wang is gone. Will our Lu family really not be oppressed?" Lu's mother asked worriedly.

She is now the grandmother of the Lu clan, and she is completely concerned about the Lu clan's misfortune. In comparison, Lu Qi's sense of intimacy with the Lu clan is much less indifferent, and what he cares most about is his direct relatives.

Lu Qi smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, mom, the new county magistrate of Shida County was actually the one who asked a high-ranking official to find it when his son was in the capital. When the king's clerk left, the Lu family still had a county magistrate to secretly protect him, but it could only be secretly protected. Once the connections were revealed, it would be unfavorable to the county magistrate Tong and his son. The current Emperor of Tang is taboo to collude with military officers to establish a situation."

When Lu's mother heard this, her eyes lit up and she said happily: "Xiaoqi, what you said is true."

Lu Qi understood his mother's thoughts, smiled and nodded, but said, "There will be a county magistrate who secretly protected the Lu family, but the matter in the officialdom is changing. Once the county magistrate Tong is transferred, if the Lu family does not have a successor to protect the official, then when it should be moved, they will not be hesitant and restrained."

Lu's mother nodded and responded: "Mom understands that if the Lu clan wants to move away without the protection of the official power, it will be very difficult."

Lu Qi nodded silently. It should not be difficult for his family to move out of Shida County, but it is very difficult to move out of a large number of households. Population is a valuable resource for the local government, and local officials have prohibited the outflow of population. Therefore, once the county magistrate Tong has a sign of being transferred, his Lu family must move out first.

The mother and son talked about their experiences after parting. A moment later, Lu Tianyue came back, and there were a group of girls behind him. Lu Qi saw the pure and beautiful girl in the courtyard at a glance. Only then did he realize that the lady whom Mrs. Yang betrothed as a concubine for him was actually a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

"Bingyu kowtows to her mother." The pure beautiful girl lowered her head and snatched a few steps, kneeling one meter away in front of Lu's mother.

"Get up and come to my mother's side." Lu's mother said lovingly.

The girl Bingyu stood up and went to Lu's mother. She lowered her head, as if she didn't dare to look at Lu Qi. Lu Qi looked at this pure and beautiful girl, but her heart was mixed with strangeness and bitter smile. The girl's age and appearance were comparable to Siyu and Sizhu in the capital.

Lu's mother grabbed Bingyu'er lovingly and said to Lu Qi: "Xiaoqi, I heard from your Yang family's sister-in-law that the wife of the Yang family is going to send Bingyu to the capital and serve as a concubine for Taichangqing. Your Yang family's sister-in-law loves Bingyu and has also been aggrieved with her wife's wife for a long time, so she gave Bingyu to you."

Lu Qi nodded in understanding. It turned out that before the split, the wife of the Yang family was actively preparing for the future breakup. This girl Bingyu was equivalent to a treasure, but the wife of the Yang family could grab it first.

"Mom, my daughter wants to give Wu'er to Bingyu, okay?" Lu Tianyue suddenly said softly.

Lu Qi was stunned and looked at Wu'er standing there. Wu'er Jiaorong was surprised when she saw it. She looked at Lu Tianyue in a daze. Lu's mother also looked at Wu'er, paused for a moment before smiling and said, "Wu'er, you can go to Bingyu's room in the future and be a concubine."

Wu'er looked at Lu's mother in panic, but she quickly reacted, and knelt in front of Lu's mother several steps before walking, kowtowed and said in surprise: "I thank my wife for her kindness and Miss."

"Okay, get up and serve Bingyu well in the future." Lu's mother said gently.

"Yes, I must have served Miss Bingyu well." Wu'er responded respectfully, and after saying that, she got up, turned around and knelt down to Bingyu.

Seeing Wu'er's kneeling, the girl Bingyu was so frightened that she was at a loss and hurriedly said in a low voice: "Sister, please get up."

Lu Qi smiled slightly when he heard this, and knew that Bingyu's family background must not be rich, and the living environment was different, and the mentality he developed would also be different. Bingyu was obviously the mentality of the lower-ranking people.

Seeing Wu'er get up, Lu Qi looked at his sister and said intimately: "Sister, Xiao Qi has some secrets to discuss with his mother. Please ask your sister to take Bingyu and the others and choose a residence."

Lu Tianyue nodded and greeted Bingyu softly. The girls went out together, and there were only mother and son in the hall. Lu's mother smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, my mother has decided to sell this shop and returned it to the Yang family."

Lu Qi was stunned, then nodded in understanding and said, "Mom, I have many encounters in the capital. Xiao Qi met Uncle Guiwu."

"Ah, you saw Guiwu." Lu's mother was surprised and looked at Lu Qi in disbelief.

Lu Qi nodded, then described his experience of meeting Uncle Guiwu, and then attributed the story of knowing Lin Xiaodie to Uncle Guiwu.

Lu's mother burst into tears and said guiltily: "Xiaoqi, my mother had no choice back then. The daughter of the Lin family had already entered the brothel. Uncle Guiwu said that the amount of money to redeem for life would be at least 8,000 taels. Even if the Lu family poured out everything, it would not be enough."

Lu Qi nodded and responded: "The child knows that he can't blame his mother for losing his righteousness."

Lu's mother nodded and said, "Since you have recovered the daughter of the Lin family, your mother is willing to admit that she is your wife. If you have time in the future, please take her to Shida County to get married."

Lu Qi's expression became bitter and responded: "Mom, the child can no longer marry Xiaodie as his wife."

Lu's mother was stunned, then nodded in understanding and said, "You are an official of the court. You cannot marry a brothel woman as a wife, otherwise you will be criticized and questioned."

Lu Qi nodded bitterly and his mother also became silent. After a while, Lu's mother said softly: "Xiao Qi, you marry Xiaodie and come back. When she gives birth to a son, my mother will give her the status of a wife in the inner house. If Xiaodie cannot give birth to a son, she will adopt a son to her."

Lu Qi looked at his mother in shock. Lu's mother smiled and explained: "You don't have to worry. The status of the wife given by her mother is for filial piety. That means that Xiaodie can be buried under the wife's ceremony. Xiaodie will not be given the official edict of the wife when she is alive."

Lu Qi nodded in understanding and said, "The child is not worried, but is surprised."
