Lu Ding's old master muttered under his breath, snorted coldly and turned away. He really looked good even wearing a fake mask?

He wants to see what kind of monster it is!

He turned his head and met that smiling face. In an instant, he froze, his mouth agape. He wasn't unwilling to speak, but he just couldn't.

His mouth was moving, but he couldn't make a sound. His hands were trembling, and then he looked at his son and daughter-in-law, who hadn't recovered from their shock.

On the contrary, these four people who came were all laughing.

Lu Ding exerted a lot of effort to regain his voice, "You... who are you? Your face..."

He looked at Tang Xian, "Xian'er... she... she's just like your mother, exactly the same."

Tang Xian smiled and nodded, "Grandpa, I understand."

"Same? Which one is prettier, me or him?" Lu Zi'ning was feeling playful and wasn't afraid of scaring the old man. After all, he was getting up there in years, not a spring chicken like he used to be.

“You… how can you compare to my younger sister?” Lady Lu said, “Flesh and bone are similar, but even souls differ. You aren’t even as good as a single strand of her hair. Your Majesty, I dare speak boldly, your joke this time is too much. It's like salt rubbed on our family's wounds.”

Lady Lu was truly in a panic, after all, who would believe that Lu Zi'ning was still alive? Everyone claimed to have seen her buried with their own eyes.

The key is that even if you're alive, you shouldn't be this young.

So the three members of the Lu family unanimously believed that the woman before them was intentionally brought by the Emperor Xianfeng.

Lu Zi'ning saw Lu Fusheng angry, and dared not make trouble anymore. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, don't be angry, calm down. It's me, Zi'ning, I really am Zi'ning."

"This is impossible," Madam Lu said, her voice laced with displeasure. Although she had always been kind to Tang Xian, she couldn't hide her anger now. "Xian'er, what on earth has happened? How could you treat your own mother like this?"

Lord Lu also nodded, looking as though Tang Xian had done something wrong and needed a good scolding.

Tang Xian was also very wronged, “This matter is a long story, but she really is my mother’s concubine.”

Lu Ding shook his head. "Telling me to go pick flowers, I don't believe it. Don't try to fool me with fakes. Let me see, is there another layer of dough on top?"

Speaking, he had already disregarded any manners and was about to lunge forward and tear.

Lu Ziying leaned closer and said, "Go ahead, tear it."

Lu Ding still retracted his hand. He was angry, but the little girl couldn't let him, an old man, touch her face. Besides, she looked like the emperor's woman, and he couldn't get into trouble for his grandson.

"Father, brother, sister-in-law, I really am Zining. Don't believe me? Just ask me anything, of course, things that happened before I died or while I was alive. After that, I don't remember anything."

The three members of the Lu family took turns asking Lu Zining some private questions. These were things outsiders didn't know, so there was no way to inform her beforehand.

"Well, that should convince you," Lu Zining said with a shrug.

"Dad, I still remember when I was six years old, you took me to the palace. You drank too much alcohol and had to pee..."

"

‘Shhh!’ Lu Ding jumped in fright, ‘Don’t say it.’

"Then do you believe it?" Lu Zi'ning asked again.

Fu Jiujiu and Tang Xian were both very curious, what happened to their grandfather that year when he had a sudden urge to urinate?

It should be pretty fun.

"Brother, you climbed the wall to secretly meet your sister-in-law and tore your clothes, almost..."

"Ahem... You don't have to say that."

Lu Ziqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, then sister-in-law."

"I... what's wrong with me?" Mrs. Lu asked.

"Sister-in-law, of course, there's nothing shameful about being caught by me. Sister-in-law and brother got married on the fifth day..."

"Need I say more." Madam Lu blushed. "Are you Zi Ning? But how is this possible?"

"Yeah, weren't you dead? How are you alive again? You look the same, you never age, do you?"

"Lu Ding also meant the same thing, "What's going on, Xian'er? Don't keep me in suspense anymore, just tell me."

"Father, don't scold my son," Lu Ziqing said.

"I haven't. I was so good to him, he said so himself." Lu Ding had been manipulated by his daughter.

Tang Xian nodded. "My grandfather is very good to me."

"It's good for me too." Fu Jiujiu said.

Lu Ding's face flushed a bit, after all, he hadn't agreed to come before. Now he felt like he was being accused of something.

Just say it, I'm dying of anticipation.

Tang Xian, under the urging of her elders, recounted the events briefly, as well as Coral and Fu Chi Chi's speculations about the strange occurrences on Lu Zi Ning's body, including the fact that her coffin was empty.

Lu Ding looked at his young daughter, no longer wanting to suppress his emotions, tears streaming down his face, "My Zi Ning, my good girl, is this a dream, Dad?"

"Of course not, who would dare to dream of such a strange thing?" Lu Ziying said.

"Sister," Madam Lu also patted her arm, then her face. The two sisters-in-law hugged each other, crying and laughing together.

After everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, Tang Xian told them again about the issue of not revealing their mother's identity.

Land family members are all intelligent people who understand reason. This is a joyous occasion for their family, but it's different when looking outward.

Lu Ding nodded. "Alas, my Zi Ning, you were already wronged before, now that you're alive again, you still can't see people."

Emperor Chengde's face twitched, he said nothing.

Lu Zining hugged her grandfather's arm, "Father, humans can't be greedy and want everything. The fact that I can see you again now is already a blessing from heaven. Everything else doesn't matter. I know you worry about me, but I really don't care."

Lu Ding stroked her hair, "Alright, father will listen to you. From now on, Tang Chen ce's done his deed for life."

Lü Zi'ning glanced at Emperor Chengde. Neither of them had mentioned the assassination.

"Father, he's a bad man. I don't even know what he did to me."

“Oh?” After some thought, Lu Ding also felt that this was the case. “Although everyone hopes to stay young forever, there’s no way for normal people to do so. What you have is indeed strange.”

He turned to look at Fu Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, do you know what's going on with your mother?"

Fu Jiu Jiu shook her head. She had already dealt with anything she knew, "Grandfather, I'm not sure yet, but please rest assured, my mother and we live together. If there is anything unusual about her, I will handle it immediately."

"Where are you staying with them now?" Lu Ding took a deep breath. "Can't you go home?"

Lu Zi Ning also wanted to come back and accompany her elderly father, but she hesitated. “Father, Chiu Chiu is a skilled doctor. If I suddenly fell ill, what if others couldn't treat me? If you miss me, just go to them. After all, you are their grandfather, and no one would say anything.”

She reluctantly looked at her elderly father, "Besides, my status is special. There are many elders in our house. Even if I disguise myself, if they really recognize me, it wouldn't be good."

Lu Ding was still very reasonable, and immediately decided that he would also go to the Prince's Mansion to live.
