Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wives? I Refuse to be the Mistress of this Marquis' Mansion
Chapter :
Nostalgia; Pt. 2
"Chang Gong receiving praise is a good thing; Chang Zong should not fall behind."
However, she did not mean for Chang Zong to also mourn for Yunwan.
Entering officialdom through the imperial examination is still the most important. Zhang Feng'an has already resigned; Old Madam Lu instructed Lu Zhengliu, "Quickly send Qing-ge to the family school."
Lu Zhengliu hesitates; Yunwan used to be Qing Ge'er's stepmother, so he should also mourn for her like Chang Gong.
Old Madam Lu understands her grandson's thoughts but disagreed, "She is no longer a person of our Lu family. What would it look like if Chang Zong mourns for her again!'"
"Fine, let him study hard and make a name for himself." Lu Zhengliu agreed.

If Chang Zong lacks filial piety, forcing him to mourn is not meaningful. After all, Chang Gong is truly more filial, and like himself, he misses Yunwan. Lately, Lu Zhengliu even has a slight feeling of disgust towards Chang Zong in his heart.
"I'll arrange for him to go to the family school."
The words had just fallen when someone rushed in anxiously and said, "Master, Mr. Zhen has resigned!"
Teacher Zhen is the scholar in the Lu family school. Even if the Marquis of Wu Ding's mansion is declining, with this scholar in place, there are still opportunities for the younger generation to excel!
"How could he resign at a time like this!" Old Madam Lu was infuriated almost to death!
Lu Zhengliu was also anxious, "Where is Teacher Zhen?"
The messenger replied, "He has already left after leaving his resignation letter."
Old Madam Lu, in frustration, exclaimed, "This person! He truly lacks integrity!"
Lu Zhengliu clenched his fists and reminded Old Madam Lu, "Grandmother, don't forget, Teacher Zhen was invited by Yunwan."
Now that the daughter of the Lins is no longer in their Lu family, which scholar would be willing to associate with them? Situations like this will only increase in the future.
Thinking about this, Old Madam Lu slumped down, feeling inexplicably depressed.
Another person came in from outside, and Madam Wei hurriedly rushed in, her hair disheveled!
"Madam, Madam... it's terrible! It's terrible!" Lady Wei exclaimed.
Madam Lu hurriedly went out and asked, "What happened?!"
She scolded Madam Wei, "Look at yourself! Are you still the mistress of this house?!"
Lu Zhengliu went over to support Madam Wei, frowning as he asked, "Mother, what happened?"

Madam Wei, in a state of panic, said, "Your father fell ill! He's wielding a sword and killing people everywhere! No one can stop him!"
The Marquis of Wu Ding was a lord, and the servants were afraid of harming the master, which would lead to a death sentence. With his strength, the maids in the inner courtyard couldn't restrain him, and people from the front yard couldn't easily enter. They had to let the Marquis go on his rampage.
Old Madam Lu's heart sank; this was too troublesome! Who would be able to control her son when he went mad in the future?
She questioned Madam Wei, "How did he suddenly fall ill? How have you been taking care of your husband?"
Madam Wei, tearfully, explained, "He... he heard about the death of Lady Yunwan...," not anticipating that this news would drive her husband to madness!
Madam Wei retorted stubbornly, "Old Madam Lu, if you know how to handle it; you go and handle it!" She feared that the Marquis would disown all relatives and even attempt to harm the old lady.
"You!" Madam Lu was furious. This foolish woman!
However, all these troubles were not the most frightening. The Lu family... was finished! And she would have to watch helplessly as the Lu family gradually crumbled.
"Yunwan..."
Old Madam Lu's eyes blurred, and she almost fainted.
Yan Mama pinched her acupoint.
Old Madam Lu aged in an instant. She asked Yan Mama, "My Lu family has just lost a mistress, why... why is it like this!"
It was just a young concubine!
Yan Mama hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
Now, they realize the importance of Madam?
Although she disliked the maids around Madam, objectively speaking, the majority of this entire household was upheld by Madam!
Now that Madam was gone, the Lu family was afraid it would fall apart.
