The Ideal Son-in-Law

Chapter 169: A virtuous mother and a filial son, a bad minister?

Views:

His mother suddenly became seriously ill, and Lu Sanlang was naturally very anxious. He never liked riding fast horses, but he galloped on the street for the first time, not caring that his fat body was pressing on the horse and making it gasp for air. However, in order to prevent himself from getting into trouble by galloping, he shouted loudly all the way.

"Make way, everyone, make way, my mother is seriously ill and I'm in a hurry to go home!"

Although there was a ban in the capital, it was common for the sons of noble families to break the rules occasionally. However, the current Shuntian prefect was very serious and would even use the legitimate royal family as a target, so Lu Sanlang naturally prepared for the rainy day. Fortunately, his shouting worked after all, and pedestrians along the way retreated, allowing him to return home smoothly.

Since he had his own room in the Imperial College, he seldom came back. After he rushed through the gate, he naturally felt regretful. Compared with his father who always looked down on him, his mother, Madam Lu Zhen, always favored him, the fat youngest son. Therefore, the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. He only hated himself for not going home more often.

When he rushed to Madam Lu's main courtyard, he saw Mother Jin, who was beside his mother, escorting an old man with white hair and beard out. It was Doctor Lin whom he had seen before. He rushed forward in two steps, but before he could ask, Mother Jin winked at him: "Third Young Master, Madam is looking forward to your return. Please go in quickly, I will see Doctor Lin off!"

Lu Sanlang was slightly stunned, but thinking that these imperial doctors just liked to show off their medical skills and medical theories, it was really boring to listen to a bunch of confusing words, so he nodded and went into the main room. When he came to the bed, he saw his mother leaning on a high pillow with a sallow face. His legs suddenly became weak and he called out "Mom" with difficulty.

Mrs. Lu Zhen, who had half-closed her eyes, immediately opened them wide. When she saw that it was Lu Sanlang who came back, she was immediately surprised and happy. She waved her hand hurriedly and said, "Sanlang is back? Come here quickly!"

Seeing Lu Sanlang staggering over, kneeling on the ground in front of the bed with a plop, his head lowered, tears falling, Zhen felt distressed and happy, and quickly reached out to drag Lu Sanlang over. As a result, her hand was very strong, and the sad little fat boy was stunned.

What happened to the sudden illness? How come my mother is still so strong

Lu Sanlang looked up in confusion, only to receive an angry slap from his mother on the forehead: "You kid, you refused to come back after being released. Are you trying to drive me crazy? What were you doing during the two days of rest?"

Although he didn't understand what was wrong with Zhen's illness, Lu Sanlang had always been the one who was best at pleasing his mother since he was a child - because he knew from a young age that only his mother cared about him, the unlovable youngest son. So he immediately knelt straight and said honestly: "I was reading those books of Master Ge in the dormitory."

Zhen immediately put her hand on her forehead. She used to think that her youngest son was not ambitious, and she was worried that when she was gone, her husband and the eldest and second sons would not protect him, and Lu Sanlang would suffer. But now she felt that if Lu Sanlang became ambitious, he would be a bit stupid! The eldest son of Qin Guogong, Zhang Chen, was able to "accidentally" meet Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying in Qin Garden, Haidian, and took advantage of it, but her son didn't catch up!
