Chapter 518: Chapter 517: In a Panic

"Alright! I’ll listen to my wife!" Lu Zheng understood Lin Xia’s thoughts, and he didn’t want to think about anything else during this happy moment.

Lin Xia felt a sweetness in her heart, she moved her knee to gently nudge him, "You’re so slick!"

"These are heartfelt words!" Lu Zheng said with an unabashed smile.

The two of them looked at each other and laughed, a scene that appeared to onlookers as a couple deeply in love, playfully bantering.

Only Ye Lin, who was watching them from a distance, found it extremely irritating!

After the wedding banquet ended, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng bid farewell to the guests and returned home with Lu Pengcheng and the others.

Shao Meirou knew her son’s feelings and appeared calm on the surface, but inside, she was desperately eager to go back to her own room with Lin Xia.

Therefore, she didn’t keep Lin Xia for too long and let the couple go back to their room to rest.

Watching their retreating figures, Shao Meirou couldn’t help but hope fervently; if they worked hard now, could Lin Xia be expecting a grandson before the New Year?

She looked at Lu Pengcheng, who was half-sitting, half-lying on the couch, his eyes half-open, "Pengcheng! Are you sleepy? If you’re sleepy, go back to your room and sleep!"

"Alright! I’ll also go back to my room and sleep a bit!" Lu Pengcheng staggered to his feet. He had drunk quite a bit today; he was genuinely happy about his son’s marriage!

Especially since some of his old friends were among the guests, at their age, it felt unsatisfactory not to drink a few more toasts.

With a helpless look, Shao Meirou chided him lightly and helped him upstairs to their room.

After Lin Xia and Lu Zheng returned to their room, Lin Xia had just taken off her coat when Lu Zheng, who had locked the door, immediately wrapped his arms tightly around her from behind.

"Wife! I’ve missed you terribly!" Lu Zheng closed his eyes, deeply inhaling her scent.

Lin Xia involuntarily tried to dodge, "Stop messing around!"

Lu Zheng chuckled softly, "What’s there to be afraid of?"

Lin Xia muttered quietly, "It’s still daytime!"

"Don’t worry, my parents will be going back to their room to sleep," Lu Zheng said, without giving Lin Xia a chance to argue further...

When Lu Guangqi and others returned home from the restaurant, they just entered the house when they heard Fang Youlan’s loud wails and incoherent curse words.

All who heard it were shocked and hastily moved toward Fang Youlan’s bedroom.

The bedroom door was wide open, and the scene from the bed to the floor was in complete disarray.

Fang Youlan was lying on the bed, beating her chest and wailing, while Lu Qing and the nanny looked utterly helpless.

Although Lu Guangqi had already guessed what might have happened, he still approached without changing his expression, limping as he tried to soothe Fang Youlan, hoping to calm her down.

"Old lady! What’s wrong with you? Calm down! Don’t get agitated!"

But Fang Youlan was not having any of it; she pushed away Lu Guangqi’s hand, glaring furiously at everyone who entered, mumbling indistinctly.

Ever since she fell ill and became unable to care for herself, she realized that her once unquestioned authority at home was completely gone.

She had become a fully dependent invalid!

Now, with such a significant matter unfolding, everyone had kept it from her, not thinking to inform her at all!

Although Fang Youlan’s words were unclear, everyone roughly understood her point—she felt deceived by them all!

"What’s going on?" Lu Pengfei asked his daughter sternly.

Was she not supposed to keep an eye on the old lady? How could things have ended up like this? Did she say something unnecessary to the old lady?

Song Wanjun hurriedly walked to Lu Qing’s side, "Qingqing! What exactly happened?"

Concerned that her daughter might make a mistake while taking care of the elderly lady, she had specifically instructed her to talk less and do more to avoid causing trouble.

"Dad! Mom! Grandpa! I... I really don’t know how grandma could..." Faced with so many inquisitive and suspicious glances, Lu Qing felt she was at a loss for words.

Even if she didn’t like Lin Xia, she wouldn’t cause trouble on her elder brother’s wedding day.

But previously, grandma had clearly seemed to know everything.

Lu Pengfei looked seriously at the housekeeper, "You speak!"

The housekeeper timidly began, "I don’t know what happened! I came in later to give the medicine and saw the old lady with Miss..."

The master of the house had specifically instructed her to keep her mouth shut and not let the old lady know about her grandson’s wedding. How could she, an employee, dare to speak carelessly!

Lu Qing, looking at the furious and breathless Fang Youlan, softly said, "Grandma must have guessed it herself..."

Fang Youlan, her words unclear, shouted, "Prejudice! Prejudice! You all ignore my views..."

She was only half-paralyzed; her mind was still clear and sharp. Ever since her youngest daughter’s family returned from Shanghai, she had begun to suspect something.

Latterly, the old man who almost never went out suddenly dressed up and went out, and even asked Lu Qing to help take care of her.

Connecting all these dots, she immediately had some guesses.

Perhaps there had been some event at home, and it was likely a joyful one. If there was a joyful event but she wasn’t informed, those keeping it from her were almost certainly related to Lu Zheng’s marriage.

So she tested Lu Qing, and from her expression, she got her answer!

That kid Lu Zheng really got married! And who else could the bride be?

Lu Guangqi sighed deeply, "Old woman! We didn’t mean to deceive you! It’s just that..."

He felt a bit at a loss for words, as the change in Lin Xia’s family background was also beyond his expectations.

He knew a lot about the affair himself and really couldn’t bear to see his old lady get hurt.

Fang Youlan glared and angrily demanded why it was Lin Xia! Why let her into their home! How could the Lu family’s door be open to a small street vendor?

Moreover, this little vendor had caused her so much suffering!

If it weren’t for Lin Xia sending her to the hospital in anger, how could the eldest have met that Nurse Luo? Without meeting her, how could he have found that woman! Later, even deciding to divorce Shao Meirou over that woman!

All these incidents, when traced back to their origin, were all because of that little vendor!

Seeing that the old man and the others remained silent, her rage burned even fiercer, and she began violently pounding the bed, sobbing and wailing!

She had become like this, yet her family could still accept Lin Xia into their home. Where did they place her?

Did they still even see her as the mother and grandmother in their eyes?

What disappointed her most was the old man. She had been through so many trials and tribulations with him over the years, and now it seemed he too had learned to keep secrets from her!

Lu Shuhui saw Fang Youlan so angry and upset, she felt especially troubled!

This was her mother!

If possible, she really didn’t want her mother to suffer so much pain at this age! But, how many ’ifs’ could there be in the world?

Wiping her tearful eyes, she finally said with difficulty, "Mom! Now that it’s come to this! Since you’ve guessed it, we won’t hide it from you anymore! Today is indeed Xiaozheng’s wedding! The person he married is Lin Xia! But Lin Xia’s family background is not so simple, her grandfather is Qin Zeming..."
