Chapter 186: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Chapter 186: Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Tinglan Academy.
The old lady, who had been looking forward to it for a month, finally saw the young couple again. She was as excited as a child: "Qianqian! Great-grandson-in-law! You are back!"
"great grandmother."
"great grandmother."
The two of them bowed to the old lady as juniors.
The old lady pinched Meng Qianqian's face and then Lu Yuan's: "Oh, why are you so thin? Is the food in the palace not delicious?"
Meng Qianqian smiled: "I miss my great-grandmother so much."
"Where's the baby?"
Baoshu patted herself.
Meng Qianqian hurriedly picked up the little one and kissed her little face, which was full of milk: "Of course I miss the baby."
Baoshu has many names, Bao Zhuzhu, Zhao Zhao, Baobao...
The old lady knew how to balance a bowl of water. When she saw that Baoshu had occupied her mother, she took her great-grandson-in-law up and down and paid attention to her, never letting her great-grandson-in-law be left out in the cold.
"I heard from Ban Xia that you two went into the palace to treat him and Xiao Fuzi. Are they okay?"
The man the old lady refers to seems to be the Supreme Emperor.
Lu Yuan said: "It's okay. Both the Supreme Emperor and Eunuch Fu have recovered."
The old lady took a long breath and asked again: "What about you and Qianqian? Are you sick?"
"No, great-grandmother, we are fine." Lu Yuan respected the old lady very much. He never complained about the old lady's nagging, and he never had any airs or bad temper.
The old lady held his hand and asked many questions, including what he ate and drank every day, whether he slept well and whether the room was hot.
In the Xun family, Mrs. Xun loved Xun Yu so much, but he was always only qualified to watch.
Baoshu hadn't seen Meng Qianqian for a long time, so she threw herself into Meng Qianqian's arms, her little feet curled up, and she looked old and arrogant.
But Meng Qianqian noticed with sharp eyes that the little guy peeked at Lu Yuan from time to time.
Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing: "Miss you dad?"
Baoshu's face was cold: "I don't want to."
Meng Qianqian laughed out loud, walked over, and stuffed Baoshu into Lu Yuan's arms.
Lu Yuan's arm sank. After a month of absence, the little cub had gained weight again.
The father and daughter stared at each other, one looking colder than the other.
After a moment, both of them turned their heads in their respective directions: "Huh."
While eating, Lu Yuan finally remembered his old boss Cen, and he didn't see anyone else after returning home.
Banxia said: "Originally, Steward Cen was waiting for the young lady and uncle at the door with us, but suddenly a soldier came. I don't know what he said to Steward Cen, but Steward Cen left in a hurry."
The city gate.
Manager Cen got off the carriage of the Governor's Mansion and hurried to the carriage of Miao Jiang.
"May I ask who is on the carriage..."
Liu Qingyun opened the beaded curtain, revealing a peerless face that had not left any trace of time: "You don't even recognize me anymore?"
Manager Cen was shocked: "Husband... Madam?"
Really madam?
Oh my god, my wife has arrived from Miao territory!
"Send greetings to Madam, little one!"
He suppressed the shock in his heart and bowed heavily to Liu Qingyun.
Liu Qingyun's blood-red lips curled up slightly: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Manager Cen has gone through a lot of vicissitudes. Is it because there are too many worries around Ayuan, making you too busy and troubled?"
Manager Cen smiled brightly: "Madam, you are serious. Everything in the house is fine and there is nothing to worry about. Madam looks the same as before. There has been no change at all over the years."
Liu Qingyun smiled and said: "Don't be so talkative. I heard that A Yuan got married and got into a lot of trouble. He refused to tell me. Didn't you know that I was notified?"
Manager Cen said with a smile: "Isn't this... I'm just thinking of sending you a letter, so you're here?"
Liu Qingyun asked slowly: "You are the only one here, where is A Yuan?"
Manager Cen said: "The Governor has been busy with the epidemic in the palace recently and hasn't been back for a month."
Liu Qingyun's smile deepened: "So, it was an unlucky time for me to come?"
Manager Cen felt his scalp numb and said hurriedly: "I should be able to go back tonight."
Liu Qingyun put down the curtain: "Lead the way."
"Yes." Manager Cen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and brought Miao Jiang's motorcade into the city.
The guards started talking among themselves.
"Is she really the mother of Governor Lu?"
"Didn't you hear Manager Cen call her Madam?"
"Isn't Governor Lu an orphan? Where did his own mother appear from?"
"Who knows if you didn't want him back then, and after finding out that your son became a high official, you licked your face and accepted your marriage. Isn't this kind of thing rare?"
Manager Cen rode the horse back home.
He looked back at the guards who were whispering to each other, and said to Liu Qingyun: "Madam, don't take it to heart."
Liu Qingyun said calmly: "It was indeed me who lost my son back then, and I deserved to be scolded."
Manager Cen hesitated to speak, and finally let out a sigh.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Governor's Mansion.
Manager Cen hasn't been riding a horse for a long time, and his legs are sore.
He personally lifted the curtain for Liu Qingyun: "Madam, we're here."
Liu Qingyun slowly got out of the carriage, looked at the magnificent gate and the plaque of the Governor's Mansion with flying dragons and phoenixes, and raised her eyebrows: "Is this where A Yuan lives?"
Nanny Li and others were no longer at the door, and it seemed that the young couple had returned home.
Manager Cen's thoughts flashed through his mind, and he smiled and said, "Madam, please come in. I'll call the Governor and... Madam."
Yes, there are two ladies in the house.
Logically speaking, the two of them were of different generations, so they would either be called Young Madam Meng Qianqian, or Liu Qingyun would be called Tai Madam.
The problem is that calling her Mrs. is equivalent to admitting that she is also the mistress of the Governor's Mansion.
But if she were to be called Young Madam Meng Qianqian, it would be equivalent to acknowledging that Liu Qingyun was the mistress of the Governor's Mansion.
He is a small steward, but he cannot be the head of the house.
On the other side, Meng Qianqian and Lu Yuan had just come out of Tinglan Courtyard when they saw a boy coming towards them with a hurried expression.
"Grand Governor, Steward Cen asked me to report to you that your mother-in-law has entered the house!"
Lu Yuan frowned.
Meng Qianqian asked in surprise: "Where are the people?"
The boy said: "Go back to the main courtyard, madam!"
Lu Yuan said nothing with a cold face.
Meng Qianqian signaled the servant to step back and rubbed her cheek: "I didn't expect your mother to come to the capital so soon. The ugly daughter-in-law is finally going to meet her parents-in-law."
Lu Yuan glanced at her.
Meng Qianqian said: "It's not that I'm really ugly, it's just a common saying. Having said that, what does your mother like? What doesn't she like?"
Lu Yuan said calmly: "I like to be in control, but I don't like things beyond her control."
Meng Qianqian: "Uh..."
Lu Yuan frowned and said, "I'll deal with her. You go back to your great-grandmother's yard first."
Meng Qianqian pulled his sleeve: "No, you're already here, I have to go see him no matter what."
Lu Yan glanced at her green-white fingertips pinching his sleeve, and said with a normal expression: "She is not an easy person to get along with."
Meng Qianqian: "Will she scold me?"
Lu Yuan: "No."
His mother has never lost a fight, never won an argument, and she never talks when she can do it.
Meng Qianqian: "Will she cheat me out of my dowry money?"
Lu Yuan thought for a while: "She can't even settle the accounts. It's almost enough if you defrauded her of all her money."
Meng Qianqian: "Then, will she not allow me to leave the house and set rules for me all day long?"
Lu Yuan thought about it again and felt that this should not be the case.
Because his mother was more restless than the two of them, and it was probably who was the one who ran around all day long and couldn't be caught.
Meng Qianqian smiled: "Isn't that enough? I can even handle the old lady and the second lady of the Lu family for five years. Your mother is more reasonable than them. Leave it to me. Just wait and see. You Mom and I will definitely become a good mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!" (End of Chapter)
