Chapter 4 Changing Uncle’s Fate

"She is the daughter that our Lu family has been waiting for for a long time. She was born in the morning, so why not call her Lu Chaochao. Chao means morning, which represents hope."

Mrs. Xu lowered her head slightly, her eyes red.

Hearing this name, he grabbed the brocade quilt on the bed, his fingers turning white.

My heart felt like it was tightly grasped.

She had been to Lu Yuanze's study.

There is a thick stack of white paper in the study room, with names written all over it.

Lu Jingyao, with his beautiful scenery of mountains and beautiful Yao flowers and trees, is known to have extraordinary appearance, extraordinary intelligence, and is favored by thousands of people.

Lu knows the kite, knows the book and is polite, the kite flies and the fish leaps.

Every name is carefully chosen, and He bestows all expectations and blessings on it.

And her daughter...

I only got a morning sun.

She was dissatisfied with the names of her three children back then, but now she doesn't want to wrong her daughter anymore.

"How about..." Before he could finish his words, a cheerful babbling sound sounded in his ears.

[Yeah, yeah, I want to be called Chao Chao, I like to be called Chao Chao, mother, mother, mother, I want to be called Lu Chao Chao...] The little guy used all his strength, stretched out his little hand and shouted babbling.

Xu sighed softly and ticked her name.

"Look at how happy she is, let's call her Chao Chao." She ticked her daughter's little nose, and the little guy stretched out his hand and grabbed her index finger.

Five little fingers, barely enough to hold her index finger.

Holding your index finger and placing it on your soft cheek [Mother, don’t cry, mother, don’t be afraid, I will protect you...]

[Chaochao is super super super super super awesome, so awesome] The little guy looked like he was showing off.

Xu's eyes were still filled with tears.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but curl my lips, feeling warm in my heart.

"Mother Yun, thank you for your hard work these days. There are a lot of things going on in the court, so I will probably be a little busy this month." Lu Yuanze looked a little guilty, and every time he showed such an expression, Mrs. Xu would advise him to take into account the overall situation and not be limited. Children love each other forever.

Who knows, he spends all his time in the outer room.

Her virtuousness actually stabbed herself.

"You and I are one husband and wife, how can I blame you? It's just our Chao Chao who has wronged us." Mrs. Xu touched her daughter, looking a little lonely.

Lu Yuanze glanced at the infant Lu Chaochao.

He couldn't help but compare.

Speaking of which, Lu Chaochao and Lu Jingyao were born on the same day, so they were both born yesterday.

When Jing Yao was born, her whole body was red, probably not grown yet, her skin was wrinkled, and she cried like a kitten.

Lu Chaochao was fair and plump, with skin like snow, and even his eyebrows and eyelashes were long and thick.

A pair of bright eyes, not afraid of strangers, really ice and snow, like a virgin under the Guanyin Seat.

Lu Yuanze took one look and looked away.

His Jingyao is different.

Lu Yuanze felt a little more fiery in his heart.

"Chaochao has wronged our family, and daddy will make amends to Chaochao. Then daddy, give the hot spring villa to Chaochao as daddy's apology." Lu Yuanze picked her up with a smile.

"Why don't you thank your father quickly? There are hundreds of acres of land around the hot spring villa. This is a big deal for dad, and it all belongs to a little guy like you." As soon as Xu said this, Lu Yuanze frowned.

He only planned to give it to the Hot Spring Villa.

It can be seen that when Xu spoke, he did not refute.

However, this hot spring villa was originally given to Jing Yao, and it seems that it needs to be replaced as a gift.

[Wow, this resentful father is so rich. 】

Lu Yuanze only felt dazed for a moment before he felt a damp heat on his body.

His face froze, and he stared at the baby in his arms with wide eyes, smiling happily at him with a toothless grin.

"Hey, hey, I peed. The little lady peed." Yingxue hurriedly stepped forward and took the child away.

Lu Yuanze's eyebrows turned dark and he took a deep breath, but he couldn't argue with the newborn baby.

Xu secretly hid her smile.

"Master Marquis, please go change your clothes quickly."

After Lu Yuanze left, Mrs. Xu gently patted Lu Chaochao on the butt: "Naughty."

[He deserves it, he deserves it, he doesn’t love such a beautiful mother, he deserves it, let him bully her! 】

After Lu Yuanze changed his clothes and came out, he sat down for a while, then got up and left.

Xu's eyebrows drooped.

"Go and see where the Marquis has gone?"

Yingxue was honest and Juexia was clever. She put down the child and followed him.

After a while, he came back and reported: "I went to Deshan Hall." Deshan Hall was the old lady's residence.

"When the Marquis left, he also took the old lady's Buddhist beads with him. I heard that the old lady was in a very good mood and gave it to the Marquis."

Mrs. Xu's heart was heavy. When Jue Xia saw that his wife looked bad, he advised her, "The Marquis must have left this Buddhist bead to the eldest young master."

There is a taboo in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.

The wife gave birth to three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Lu Yanshu, was born smart. In those years, Lu Yuanze probably had some real affection for him.

But at the age of nine, the eldest son fell into the water and became an idiot.

Now that he is locked up in the mansion, he can't even take care of his own urine and excrement, which has become a taboo and a curse in the mansion.

When Mrs. Xu went to the old lady to ask for Buddhist beads, the old lady only said that it was the fate of the inkstone.

She knelt for three days and three nights, but still couldn't get it.

The old lady's string of Buddhist beads was a gift from the abbot of Huguo Temple.

This string of beads is said to have 1,808 beads.

Each one is extremely precious.

The Huguo Temple is a royal temple that has always been respected by the whole capital. With the status of the Zhongyong Marquis, how can you get such a precious thing.

But one year, the old abbot just glanced at her and said that the Zhongyong Hou family had great wealth, great opportunities in the future, and noble people with meritorious deeds in their descendants.

I gave you this string of Buddhist beads.

The old lady is very precious on weekdays.

Today, I gave it away.

Xu's heart felt uncomfortably tight.

At night, Dengzhi came back.

Denzhi looked pale and a little more frightened than before, and his hand trembling when he pushed the door open.

"Madam..." As soon as Dengzhi entered the door, he knelt on the ground with a snap.

Not daring to say a word, he shivered and took out the small wooden sculpture wrapped in white cloth from his arms.

[Oh my, my, isn't this the witchcraft that killed my uncle? 】Xiao Chaochao was spitting bubbles and refused to sleep.

Xu's hand trembled and she almost dropped the wooden sculpture to the ground.

"There are people guarding the door, don't worry, madam." Dengzhi said while suppressing his fear.

When she discovered this thing, her legs gave out.

If this is discovered, the Xu family may be doomed.

The Xu family holds great power, and if any clues are discovered, His Majesty will be suspicious of them.

The Master of the Xu family was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and His Majesty was afraid of him, so he became an official and returned home to support himself in his old age.

It took a lot of effort to dispel His Majesty's wariness. If you provoke him again, I'm afraid he will have to prove the Xu family's innocence with blood!

The eldest brother is now a third-rank official. Because of his father's legacy, many people in the court respect the Xu family.

This is also the reason why Zhongyong Houfu asked to marry her!

Mrs. Xu looked at the wood carving carefully. The wood carving seemed to be soaked in blood, giving it a somewhat forbidding aura. The wooden carving was severely scratched with a knife, which made it even more shocking.

On the back of the wood carving is carved His Majesty's birthday and birth date.

"This handwriting..." Mrs. Xu pursed her lips tightly, gritted her teeth, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

"This is the eldest master's handwriting." Dengzhi grew up in Xu's family and naturally knew Master Xu's handwriting.

Mrs. Xu burst into tears: "No, it's mine!"

Xu's body was covered with goosebumps, fear, fear, and more...

Rejoice.

She is the youngest daughter in the family. She was raised by her eldest brother, and it was his eldest brother who taught her how to calligraphy.

After marrying into the house of Marquis Zhongyong, Lu Yuanze praised her good calligraphy and often asked him to teach him how to write!

And what about yourself?

Because Lu Yuanze didn't like it, after getting married, he stopped contacting his parents' family and severed ties with them!
