Chapter 719 Someone is waiting to plot against him
Lu Jiangyue concealed her nervousness very well and said calmly, "Aunt Li came over suddenly just now and asked mother to help her."
"Brother, sister-in-law, mother will be back soon, please wait for a moment."
Shen Nanqiao has gradually come back to his senses and is no longer as distracted as before.
Hearing this, she frowned in displeasure: "At this critical moment, the most important thing is to go back to the Shen family to see my mother!"
"How can mother-in-law be so confused that she is now going to help others?!"
Hearing Shen Nanqiao say this about Lu's mother, Lu Jianglin immediately felt distressed and said, "No matter what, mother is also an elder, how can you say that she is confused?"
Shen Nanqiao sneered: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
"Everyone knows that my mother's body is still warm at the Shen family, waiting for us to go back and see her for the last time. We are wasting time now. I don't know what my mother-in-law means?!"
Lu Jiangyue was afraid that the two would quarrel and affect her plan, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay. Brother, sister-in-law, stop quarreling. I'll go and urge mother now."
Soon, Lu Jiangyue brought Lu's mother back.
Seeing the other party nodded at her quietly, Lu Jiangyue breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Lu's mother into the room, and went to change into plain clothes.
Shen Nanqiao still looked sad and angry.
Lu Jianglin had put away the impatience on his face and coaxed her softly, "Nan Qiao, I know you are sad. Seeing you like this, I feel really bad. Just let it go..."
At first, Shen Nanqiao was also confused by Lu Jianglin's tenderness and affection. But after being married for so long, she knew too well what kind of person this man was.
It was simply because he saw that she still had a lot of value that he was so patient in coaxing her.
Shen Nanqiao rolled her eyes at Lu Jianglin and said, "Take it easy? That's easy for you to say. Anyway, it's not your mother who died."
"If your mother-in-law suddenly passed away, would you be able to look at it more positively?"
The smile on Lu Jianglin's face froze instantly, and his face turned purple with anger: "...You! You!"
"Shen Nanqiao, I'm warning you, you can say whatever you want to me. If you dare to curse my mother again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Shen Nanqiao met his gaze without fear: "I want to hear how you are being rude? Do you want everyone to know that a fellow Jinshi is still breastfeeding in her twenties?"
Lu Jianglin was so embarrassed, but he didn't dare to do anything to Shen Nanqiao. He could only point at her nose and said, "You can even say such words. Are you still a woman?"
"How disgraceful! How disgraceful!"
Finally, Mother Lu and Lu Jiangyue changed their clothes and hurried out.
"Ouch!"
Mother Lu slapped her thigh and said, "Why are you guys arguing again?"
"Okay, now is not the time to quarrel, let's go to the Shen family to see your mother-in-law for the last time."
"It would be bad if we kept the Shen family waiting for too long."
Shen Nanqiao didn't argue with Lu Jianglin anymore. He turned around and got on the carriage.
Lu Jianglin, Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue followed in big strides.
Perhaps because they were preoccupied with something, Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue seemed a little absent-minded along the way.
All Shen Nanqiao could think about was that his mother was gone just like that...
Big tears fell from her eyes. How could she care about others now?
Lu Jianglin was thinking, how can he take this opportunity to win the favor of his father-in-law?
I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage finally arrived at its destination.
Regardless of Shen Maoxue's feelings towards Zhou, or Zhou's status in the Shen family, she has always been the head of the Shen family, so she must do her best to maintain her reputation.
The entire Shen Mansion was covered in mourning, and the cries of weeping were deafening!
If someone who didn't know saw this, they would probably think that Zhou was gone and how heartbroken the Shen family must be...
When Shen Nanqiao got off the carriage, he could barely stand. With Lu Jianglin's support, he stumbled toward the mourning hall.
At this moment, he looked like a husband who loved and cared about his wife.
"mother--!!!"
Shen Nanqiao knelt down in front of the mourning hall, laid on Zhou's coffin and burst into tears.
"When my daughter came to see you a few days ago, you were fine and could even talk to her. How come you're gone after just a few days?!"
"Mother! Mother! I don't want to be a motherless child. Please get up! Mother--!!!"
Shen Nanqiao burst into tears.
In the entire Shen Mansion, she was probably the only one whose tears were sincere...
Lu Jianglin followed beside him, pretending to be filial, tears streaming down his face: "Mother-in-law, why did you leave like this?!"
Among the guests who came to the Shen family to pay their respects, everyone saw that although Zhou passed away early, her daughter and son-in-law were both extremely filial!
Under the guidance of the servants, Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue also went forward to pay their respects.
The two looked around from time to time, hoping to find the target person.
Unfortunately, due to the identities of Shen Maoxue and Shen Zhinian, there were too many people coming to the Shen family to pay their respects today, and they were unable to find Jiang Lingzhou for a while.
Because there were so many guests, Shen Maoxue couldn't take care of Lu's mother and Lu Jiangyue, so he didn't notice their sneaky looks.
I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd.
Someone excitedly said: "The star of literature is here!"
"Jiang Hanlin is Lord Shen's adopted son. He will definitely come to pay his respects to Madam Shen today. It's not surprising to see him here."
"Wenquxing is indeed handsome, his appearance is not inferior to that of Tanhualang!"
"Of course not. If it weren't for the auspicious omen of winning three first prizes in a row, I'm afraid Jiang Hanlin would have been the third place winner in this imperial examination."
"..."
With the appearance of Jiang Lingzhou, the topic of conversation became more and more off-topic.
Lu Jiangyue's whole heart became excited. Looking back, she happened to catch a glimpse of that handsome and elegant figure.
Because he has been ill for many years, his figure is a little thin, which adds a bit of sickly beauty. When a woman sees him, she can't help but have a strong desire to protect him.
"Plop-plop-"
Lu Jiangyue could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
Such talent, such beauty! Not to mention being Mr. Jiang's concubine, even if she was allowed to be by his side and be a maid, she would be willing!
Today's work must be successful!
Lu Jiangyue and Lu's mother looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Next, just wait for the opportunity!
Jiang Lingzhou didn't know at this time that someone was already waiting to plot against him.
After he finished offering incense to Zhou, he looked at Father Shen and said softly, "Foster father, I am in mourning."
Shen Maoxue pulled up his sleeves and wiped the tears from his eyes: "It's easy to say my condolences, but the grief in my heart after losing my first wife so suddenly, no one can empathize with me..."
