CHAPTER 535: CHAPTER 535: A WHOLE HEART OF AFFECTION WASTED ON A DOG

"Madam, good news, our Master is going to be transferred back to the capital for a position as Director of the Ministry of Revenue."

Nanny walked over to Madam Lu, full of joy, to report.

Clang.

Madam Lu knocked over the teacup at her side, stood up quickly, her eyes bright: "Really? When did this happen?"

Nanny said happily: "Just now, when I went to the main courtyard to find Nanny Fang, I happened to see the Prime Minister returning and telling Madam about it."

"If the elder uncle said it, then it’s definite. The position of Director of the Ministry of Revenue, that’s precisely the vacancy left by Lord Zhang’s mourning leave." Madam Lu couldn’t hide her joy. It was stable, it was almost surely stable.

The position of Director of the Ministry of Revenue, that’s a lucrative post, and more importantly, it’s a Capital Official, no longer having to endure the wind and sun in Shanxi.

Madam Lu’s eyes curved with happiness; suddenly, she thought of something, and her smile froze, sitting sluggishly on the Arhat bed.

All her joy vanished, leaving only bitterness, like a bone stuck in her throat.

She was truly overjoyed and forgot that the man was no longer the person he used to be, now he had a beautiful concubine and sons by his side.

Nanny saw her expression and also remembered that fact, carefully calling: "Madam..."

Madam Lu sneered and asked: "That woman should have given birth by now, right?"

"It’s said she was carrying twins, and twins usually come early. It’s already July now, she’s probably given birth." Nanny pondered while speaking.

Madam Lu felt her stomach churn, a bit nauseated, covering her throat.

"Madam."

Nanny fearfully poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Madam Lu gripped the teacup so hard, wishing she could crush it like that vile woman, saying: "That vile woman, what good can she give birth to? All vile creatures, crippled and limping."

These vicious curses made Nanny tremble with fear, but she dared not speak, only waiting for Madam Lu to vent.

Fortunately, Madam Lu also knew when to stop.

She took a deep breath and said: "I’m fine, bring some lotus seed tea, without removing the cores."

Only bitter lotus seed tea could keep her awake, what was bitterness compared to the bitterness in her heart?

Nanny quickly brewed another cup of lotus seed tea and brought it, watching her drink before saying: "Madam, don’t take it too much to heart, no matter what, with Master returning to the capital, it’s a family reunion after all!"

Madam Lu lowered her eyes: "With other unnecessary people around, what meaning does such a reunion have?"

To think she once put down her pride to ask Song Ci, hoping Song Ci would persuade the elder uncle to transfer her husband back, now thinking back, all her deep affection was fed to the dogs.

"Madam, you’re being too concerned, you can’t always think of yourself, think about Miss and Young Master too." Nanny sighed, "Not mentioning Miss, as girls naturally lean more towards their mothers. But I can see Young Master, he’s actually missing Master very much."

The father-son bond was undeniable.

This age of Song Lingzhou also needed a father’s guidance, especially seeing his brothers close to their father, wouldn’t he envy that?

Children were Madam Lu’s weakness, hearing what Nanny said, she felt a bit guilty.

She naturally understood that children needed a father, especially boys. No matter how proud or arrogant she was, she knew it was disadvantageous for a boy to be raised by a woman.

"How would I not know?" Madam Lu smiled bitterly: "Nanny, if he still only had Zhou’er, then there would be more to hope for, but he has other children now. Who knows how that woman has captivated him, would he still wholeheartedly consider only Zhou’er?"

Everything is precious as being the only one; the human heart is singular, and a person’s love, once divided, how much can one really get?
