Chapter 1750: Chapter 1743: Lu Mu Takes Her Out
Lu Mian happened to be supporting his mother to visit her. The two of them heard the commotion downstairs, and Lu’s mother asked with concern, "What happened?"
Lu Mian smirked coldly, "Just sick, mother doesn’t need to see this kind of person."
"Zi Zhou, don’t speak nonsense!"
Lu’s mother scolded him with a cold face, "Regardless of the reason, she is now your new bride. How can you show such disrespect to her? Have you forgotten all the teachings your father and I have given you over the years?"
Mutual respect and love, supporting each other, advancing and retreating together.
These are the ways of husband and wife.
In front of Lu’s mother, Lu Mian had no choice but to restrain his disgust for Leng Muling. Lu’s mother called him to go upstairs together to visit Leng Muling.
Lu’s mother supported Leng Muling to sit by the bed, gently comforting her and saying she would go to the temple to pray for her, and also for a peace charm for Lu Mian.
Leng Muling had been locked up in the Lu residence for a long time. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I wonder if mother can take your daughter-in-law with you? I’ve been healing for many days and want to go out to pray myself."
Lu’s mother looked at the wound on her forehead and pondered, "Your body might need more time to recover."
She had heard that Leng Muling had broken her leg, making her body weaker than ordinary women, fearing she might strain herself.
Leng Muling shook her head, "Mother’s love has made me much better. I can accompany you..."
"Be quiet! Don’t even think about going out and causing trouble!"
Lu Mian’s face was stern, looking at Leng Muling as if she were dead.
Leng Muling noticed Lu’s mother by her side and then spoke softly, "Yes, Ling’er knows she doesn’t please Lord, so she won’t trouble Lord by going out."
"Zi Zhou, I’ve told you to treat your wife well!"
Lu’s mother stood with poise and solemnity before Lu Mian, "Tomorrow I’ll take your wife out to pray. You must accompany us, and don’t tell me you have some important political affairs that prevent you from going."
Lu’s mother was calm and steady, as authoritative as an anchor pinning Lu Mian in place, unable to move.
Lu Mian dared not utter a single word of resistance; he respectfully said, "Yes, mother."
Leng Muling was inwardly surprised at how much Lu Mian respected his mother.
Considering his disdain for women and strong opposition to women serving as generals and studying for the imperial exams, it was truly incongruous!
Leng Muling pondered to herself that she might need to interact with Lu’s mother more to find the reason.
Being by Lu Mian’s side, she could only help her uncle by changing Lu Mian’s mind, reducing his resistance in court to allow her uncle to successfully implement new policies, assist the Crown Prince, and fulfill the aspirations of the emperor and empress.
Now being able to go out...
She had one important thing to do.
She proposed to Lu’s mother that she wanted to go to Long’an Temple in Chengxi, a place where women express their wishes, specifically burning incense and praying for her husband’s health and smooth career.
Lu’s mother saw her sincerity towards Lu Mian and gladly agreed.
However, Lu’s mother did not know that the road to Long’an Temple would pass by Mo Qi’s residence.
Leng Muling feigned stomach pain halfway, wanting to relieve herself, and Lu’s mother stopped the car by the roadside to wait for her.
Leng Muling, accompanied by Leng Qiu, got off the car, turned a corner, and bypassed a street, arriving at the back door of Mo Qi’s house.
Previously, Mo Qi had treated her well. She had been throughout the residence, and she was given keys, making arriving at his home as easy as moving around the Prime Minister’s estate.
Leng Muling opened a side door and proceeded directly along a small path to Mo Qi’s main courtyard.
