The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 206: Favoring the Biological One

The old lady finally took her son's words to heart, "Then I will tolerate her for a while longer. Anyway, I don't have to tolerate her for much longer.

But before she dies, I must take control of the Leng family's business!"

Lu Tingen nodded: "Isn't this what we originally planned?

We can't lose our composure just because something unexpected happens.

During this period, you and Zhiyi should be nicer to the mother and daughter.

You must remember that a lack of patience can ruin a great plan."

……

For dinner, Leng Qingyu ate in his own courtyard as usual.

Lu Tingen specifically instructed the kitchen to make Leng Qingyu's favorite blanched prawns and sweet and sour carp.

However, Leng Qingyu was listless and hardly moved his chopsticks.

Lu Tingen took a plate, carefully peeled seven or eight shrimps and put them in the plate, then pushed it in front of Leng Qingyu.

"These shrimps are your favorite. You usually eat two at least. I haven't been around to look after you during your meals, and you've lost weight."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinran almost spit out the shrimp in her mouth.

This man is really talking nonsense. Does he think that saying someone is thin means he cares about them?

My mother is in Yunbian Village, and she has obviously become a little fatter than before.

How can you tell that he has lost weight?

Leng Qingyu was much calmer than her.

She picked up the shrimp that the marquis had peeled, thanked him, and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

After swallowing it, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "My Lord, Xinran has just arrived and is not familiar with everything. Let her sleep with me for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tingen stopped what he was doing and said incredulously, "Madam, Xinran is already married, why does she still need to sleep with you?"

Leng Qingyu smiled, "When we were in Yunbian Village, she accompanied me to sleep every night. I was used to it. Now that we are suddenly separated, I am afraid I won't be able to sleep."

Lord Lu’s face darkened.

He thought of the cup of deer blood he had just drunk in the kitchen, and suddenly felt very irritated.

The original plan was to use the intimacy in bed to coax Leng Qingyu into forgetting the conflict between them.

It seems that she had expected this, so she was hiding from me on purpose!

Lu Tingen didn't intend to force it, so he decided to take it easy for a while.

So he replied, "That's fine. Xinran just came back and doesn't know anything. You can take her to get familiar with the affairs of the mansion."

Leng Qingyu then asked, "Since Xinran is back, when can we hold a banquet so that we can announce Xinran's identity to the public?"

Lu Tingen's expression changed again.

"There's no rush for this. I've discussed this with you before. Zhiyi is still here. If we recognize Xinran again, I'm afraid it will hurt Zhiyi's heart."

"My Lord, you are only worried about whether Zhiyi is sad or not. Aren't you worried about what you said making Xinran sad?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinran immediately lowered her head and wiped her eyes with her hands.

Lu Tingen knew that he couldn't avoid this matter, so he had to say:

“I discussed this with my mother before, and there really is no perfect solution for this matter.

How about we just tell everyone that we gave birth to three children, and one of them was a daughter who was secretly taken away by the midwife and was only found now? Do you think this is okay?"

Leng Qingyu sneered.

Lu Tingen is determined to protect Lu Zhiyi's identity at all costs.

She looked up into Lu Tingen's eyes and replied, "Sure, as long as the Marquis doesn't think this is absurd, I have no objection.

Lord Hou is right, Zhiyi is also our daughter, this is the best solution!"

Seeing Leng Qingyu agreed, Lu Tingen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the solution he came up with after thinking about it for several sleepless days and nights.

Zhiyi still has a lot of things to do in the future, and she must ensure her status as the legitimate daughter of the Lu family.

"I just feel sorry for Xinran."

Lu Tingen said to Ye Xinran hypocritically again, "Dad will compensate you well in the future."

"When will the family tree be revised?"

Leng Qingyu asked anxiously without waiting for Ye Xinran to reply.

Lu Tingen didn't show any surprise when he heard this, as if he had thought about it a long time ago, and said:

"Tomorrow I will ask Tingsong and Tingyi to come over and ask Master Huiming of Ling'an Temple to personally add Xinran's name to the family tree."

"it is good!"

Leng Qingyu nodded in agreement.

This branch of the Lu family is not very prosperous, and apart from Old Madam Lu, there are no other elders.

Therefore, Lu Tingen can make the decision on modifying the family tree.

This is a matter where both parties should take a step back.

She agreed to Lu Zhiyi's status as the legitimate daughter, and Lu Tingen let Ye Xinran truly step into the Lu family.

For the first time, Leng Qingyu felt that the relationship between the two was full of calculations and compromises.

But the compromise is only temporary, Leng Qingyu thought.

Since Lu Tingen wanted the Ye family's wealth, she wanted the Lu family's reputation.

Although Lu Tingen is shrewd and calculating, she also has her own plans, and it is still unknown who will win in the end.

……

As usual, Lu Zhiyi had dinner with the old lady in the backyard. After dinner, she came to the front yard to pay her respects to Leng Qingyu.

"Mom, why did you come back just now? Your daughter missed you so much!"

She leaned against Leng Qingyu and acted coquettishly.

Leng Qingyu calmly moved away and said, "How old are you? Why do you still like to act like a spoiled child? Now that your sister is back, you can learn from her calmness."

Lu Zhiyi was a little unhappy, but she quickly recovered and said to Ye Xinran:

"Sister, you didn't have your parents' love when you were in the countryside, so you might not be used to being close to mother. Why don't you learn from me and act more like a spoiled child to mother, so that mother will be happy!"

Ye Xinran smiled and said, "If my mother likes me, she will be happy just by looking at me, and I don't need to spend so much effort to coax her.

Similarly, if your mother doesn’t like you, she won’t even look at you even if you break your neck.

Why do you have to do this?"

"Mom, look at my sister!"

Lu Zhiyi's face turned red and white after hearing what Ye Xinran said.

She didn't know how to refute, so she just looked at Leng Qingyu and let Leng Qingyu make the decision for her.

Unexpectedly, Leng Qingyu did not speak up for her. He just said lightly, "Your sister and I are both tired today. We need to rest early. You should also go to bed early. We need to ask for the family tree tomorrow, so everyone needs to get up early!"

Lu Zhiyi was stunned.

I didn't expect Leng Qingyu to be so perfunctory to me.

"I understand, mother. You and sister should go to bed early. I will go back to my room as well."

She stood up, said goodbye, turned around and quickly left the room.

When they walked outside, Chuntao immediately handed over a shawl and asked Lu Zhiyi to put it on.

"Miss, please walk slowly. Be careful of the slippery road." Chun Tao reminded, "Miss, you don't look well. Did you get angry in the house just now?"

Lu Zhiyi was very angry just now. When Chuntao asked, she stopped and turned around and said:

“Mother always said she would love and protect me forever, but now that Ye Xinran is here, her attitude has changed immediately.

So she still favors her biological child, right? "
