Chapter 1204 Nian Nian is a woman among women
Mother Lu opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Only turbid tears, like beads with broken strings, surged out and rolled down her wrinkled cheeks.
There is great sadness in the tears, and an incomprehensible confusion and despair.
It’s over.
Her son... her son whom she cherished like a treasure and slept in the same bed with every day, how could he hate her just because he had a fever?
Mother Lu left in a daze.
Lu Jianglin lay on the hard bed. His eyes, which used to be filled with cowardice and confusion, were now like two bottomless cold pools, filled with a heart-pounding darkness.
Fragments of memories from past lives.
Ascend to the position of prime minister and feel the power to control the world.
Standing side by side with Shen Zhinian, he was full of ambition and ambition.
Like a brand, it deeply burned Lu Jianglin's soul!
And the collapse of all this began with the mother's suffocating attachment!
Huge regret gnawed at his heart...
But Lu Jianglin was not completely desperate. There was a hint of almost morbid depth and calculation in his eyes.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on the sunlight coming through the gaps in the window frame.
Shen Zhinian...
The woman who was supposed to be his.
The Concubine Chen who helped him reach the top in his previous life, but now lives high up in the clouds in this life, leaving him with nothing but her to look up to!
An idea was growing wildly in Lu Jianglin's mind...
Nian Nian...Does she also remember her past life?
Did she know that he had betrayed her in her past life because of his mother, and knew how his mother would destroy their relationship? Was that why she was so determined to avoid him in this life and choose to enter the palace?
She chose the path that would allow her to remain invincible and shine brightly forever?
"Ah……"
A sigh filled with endlessly complex meanings escaped from Lu Jianglin's cracked lips.
It’s Nian Nian indeed!
No matter she was trapped in the Lu family's backyard in her previous life, or soaring in the nine-story palace in this life, she will always be that Shen Zhinian!
She is a woman who can turn a bad hand of cards into a winning one and always live a radiant life!
Nian Nian is a woman among women!
A flame mixed with unwillingness, desire and twisted possessiveness suddenly burned in Lu Jianglin's chest!
Do not!
He is not willing!
He, Lu Jianglin, should have been a prime minister with the highest rank among the officials!
He deserves Nian Nian!
In the previous life, I was just dragged down by my mother and teased by fate.
In this life... In this life, as long as he can find a way to return to the capital and stand on the pinnacle of power again, he can prove to Nian Nian that he, Lu Jianglin, is worthy of her!
Proof that they are a match made in heaven!
What you missed in the previous life may not be impossible to rekindle in this life...
As for the mother...
Lu Jianglin's eyes suddenly turned cold.
The suffocating feeling brought by the mother in the previous life follows him like a shadow.
The endless crying, provoking, and destroying... eventually destroyed the happiness that was within his reach!
In this life, he must never repeat the same mistake again!
This root of evil must be eradicated!
At least... he couldn't let his mother appear in front of him again and interfere with his plans!
"Someone is coming."
Lu Jianglin's voice sounded, although hoarse, it carried an unquestionable cold majesty.
The anxious advisor, who had been standing outside the door, and two of his trusted attendants immediately pushed the door open and came in: "Master!"
"The old lady..."
Lu Jianglin's gaze swept over them without a trace of warmth. "Please go to the quietest east courtyard in the backyard. Send a few reliable people to serve you. Food, clothing, and other expenses should be taken care of as usual. Be sure to take care of them."
His voice paused, and every word fell like a bead of ice: "Nothing, don't let her come to the front yard, and don't let her bother me!"
The word "pure" was pronounced particularly clearly by Lu Jianglin.
The legal advisor and his attendants froze in an instant, staring in disbelief at the master on the bed, whose face was sallow but whose eyes were terrifyingly deep.
Put...put the old lady under house arrest?
Feed him with good food and drink, but... not let him see anyone?
"Master... this..."
The master's voice trembled, and he almost thought he had heard it wrongly.
That’s the master’s biological mother!
On weekdays, whenever the master left the yamen, he and the old lady were inseparable. Even when he came to Xingyang to take up his post, he didn't even bring his wife with him, only the old lady.
How could he suddenly do such a cold and decisive thing?
"how?"
Lu Jianglin raised his eyes slightly, his deep gaze falling on the master's face, with invisible pressure: "Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
In his previous life, although Lu Jianglin had been able to rise to prominence with the help of Shen Zhinian, he had been the prime minister for so many years after all, and his pressure was still there.
"I understand! I understand! I understand! I understand!"
The master was startled by Lu Jianglin's gaze, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back. He quickly bowed and agreed, not daring to ask another question.
He then retreated with his equally frightened attendant and hurried to make arrangements.
……
Mother Lu was sitting on the edge of the kang, clutching a half-worn handkerchief in her hand. Her eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts, and she was still crying silently.
She couldn't understand how her son, who was so attached to her yesterday, could become so unfamiliar to her overnight?
The hatred in his eyes... was like looking at an enemy!
And those crazy things about Concubine Chen and the Prime Minister...
Could it be that the high fever really damaged his brain?
Or... is it possessed by something unclean?
"Old lady."
The legal advisor walked in with two sturdy maids, a smile uglier than tears on his face. "Master... Master feels sorry for you. He said you've been too busy these past few days, so he asked you to move to the east wing to recuperate."
"It's quiet there, and the scenery is beautiful. The master has specifically ordered that you be provided with the best food, clothing, and other necessities! You can live there with peace of mind..."
Mother Lu suddenly raised her head, her cloudy eyes were confused at first, and then burst into great astonishment and sadness!
"Go to the East Cross Courtyard to recuperate?"
Her voice became sharp: "Where's Lin'er? I want to see Lin'er!"
"Is he still sick? Has he been bewitched by some vixen?!"
"Let me go see him!"
The master hurriedly stopped Mother Lu from rushing out, sweat on his forehead: "Old Madam, calm down!"
"The doctor said that the master had just been ill and should not be disturbed again."
"You...you can just stay there and relax. When the master gets better, I will come to see you!"
Two maids also came forward and half-supported and half-carried Lu's mother up. Their movements seemed respectful, but they carried an irresistible force.
"Let me go! You dog slaves!"
“I want to see my son!!!”
Mother Lu struggled and cried out in a shrill and desperate voice: "Lin'er! My Lin'er! What happened to you?!"
"Are you possessed by a demon?!"
"Mom is here! Mom is here to save you!!"
However, no matter how Lu's mother cried and struggled, she was eventually "invited" into the East Courtyard.
Although the room was spacious, it was obviously far away from the main courtyard and had the feeling of being under house arrest.
