A female character in a book, regaining her luck

Chapter 132 The Two Mistresses of the Lu Family

Gu Huanyou told Mu Chaosheng a lot about Lu Huanchu’s childhood, as well as some things about the Lu family, including the two mistresses of the Lu family.

Her mother Gu Zhiyun and her father Lu Fengshi were college classmates, and the two families were well matched, so it was natural for them to get married.

At the beginning of their marriage, the two had a sweet relationship, but as time went on, her father's desire to control her became more and more serious.

From life to work, every minute and every second of my mother's life seemed to be under the surveillance of her father.

She was like a rag doll trapped in a glass house. She seemed to be in light and freedom, but in fact she was surrounded by impenetrable walls.

During the long dispute and cold war, her father remained the same, but her mother gradually became disappointed and even desperate in this suffocating environment.

Her mother once wanted to divorce, but in Lu Fengshi's eyes, divorce was a huge family disgrace.

After a long period of torture, her mother became depressed and eventually died of illness.

Gu Huanyou was ten years old at that time and already understood some things, especially living in the Lu family, she understood even more.

Her mother and father were college classmates and should know each other well. She didn't understand why her mother agreed to marry her father.

When Gu Zhiyun was seriously ill, she could no longer restrain herself and asked her mother questions that seemed particularly cruel and sad in that environment.

When the mother heard this question, she did not feel any sadness or anger, but just smiled faintly.

She said that she believed love could change a person, and the sweetness at the beginning of marriage made her more certain of her thoughts.

Even in the years that followed when the conflicts intensified, she still had the delusion that her father might change and that she could persist.

She overestimated herself and overestimated her father even more.

In her memory, her father compromised in front of her mother only once.

When my mother was dying, she asked my father to agree to send her back to her grandparents' home to be raised for the sake of their marriage, otherwise she would die with regrets.

He agreed.

This was the only victory my mother had in her life.

When he said this, Gu Huanyou smiled, very calmly and indifferently, without any other emotions.

Mu Chaosheng did not comfort him, but just listened carefully.

Gu Huanyou originally planned to live with her grandparents, but in the end she gave up and decided to stay in the Lu family.

Because she saw that her father looked distraught after her mother died.

That was the first time since she was born that she saw her father, who always maintained his self-possession, looking as miserable as a beggar.

She once thought that perhaps one day, at a certain moment, her father would not be able to hold on and would go with her mother.

At that time, she knew that it was not all quarrels and divisions between her parents, and that there was still love between them.

At that moment, she softened.

If she left too, her father would be left alone and miserable.

So she made the biggest wrong decision in her life: staying in the Lu family and staying with her father.

A few years later, my father brought back a woman. She was bright and beautiful, smiling every day and full of energy, as if she would never feel tired.

From her, I felt the feeling of having friends and besties, as well as the maternal love that I had been missing for many years.

She is Huanchu's mother, Zhong Heyin, the second mistress of the Lu family.

At that time, Gu Huanyou was very happy, but there was always a faint fear in his heart.

Finally one day, her fear came true: they were getting married...

Gu Huanyou hopes that she can stay with her forever, but she doesn't want her to marry her father because she is afraid that she will become like her mother.

Finally, Gu Huanyou decided to tell her about his mother.

After she finished speaking, she realized that she had known about her mother's affairs for a long time.

At that time, she said to Gu Huanyou: "If love can't change a person, time will."

At that time, the smile on her face was confident, determined, and shining with happiness.

Gu Huanyou could only pray in her heart that what she said would come true.

"Unfortunately, there is no fairy tale in the Lu family..." Gu Huanyou smiled at Mu Chaosheng. There was no sadness in his smile, but only a playful helplessness.

"After they got married, all the cousins ​​in the family liked her very much, because she was the only one who would stand up and protect them when Lu Fengshi scolded them."

"Of course, if my sister-in-law really did something wrong, she would never try to smooth things over. We feel very safe around her."

"If you are too rigid, you will break easily. The same is true for people."

Unlike Gu Huanyou's mother's gentle temperament, Zhong Heyin's character is stronger.

As a result, the conflict between her and Lu Fengshi broke out more thoroughly and fiercely, once, twice, three times...

“In fact, with her personality, if she could step into the Lu family, she could step out, but she didn’t leave, because she could leave, but me, my brothers and sisters, she couldn’t take any of the children away, so she stayed.”

"In the Lu family, she was our harbor, but no one was her harbor. One day, she fell ill and never got up again."

When Gu Huanyou said this, he was silent for a while, and then he said:

"When she left, she smiled and said to me: You'er, it's boring here, go live somewhere interesting. When you find an interesting place, take me and Sister Zhiyun with you so that we can live an interesting life there too."

Gu Huanyou knew that she said this so that she would not hesitate, hesitate, or have any worries about leaving the Lu family.

After the last harbor disappeared completely, she no longer had any expectations for her father.

Even though she was an adult at this time, it was not an easy thing for her to leave the Lu family.

She tried once, twice, and three times with Huanchu, but failed every time.

Because she grew up in the palm of her father's hand, her father knew everything about her, so she couldn't run away or move around.

Every attempt brought trouble to her friends, and her guilt grew every day.

Guilt and anxiety weighed on her like a mountain, and she seemed unable to move.

"Do you know how I finally left the Lu family?" Gu Huanyou asked, but did not expect Mu Chaosheng to answer this question.

"One day, when he and I were arguing in the study, Changchu pushed the door open and walked in with a scalpel in his hand."

"Before my father could start to scold me, he cut his wrist without warning, and blood immediately flowed out. I was almost scared to death by him. The usually calm old man also turned pale with fear. Of course, it is also possible that he was just angry."

"I wanted to rush over, but he pointed the knife at his neck and told me not to speak."

"He was holding the scalpel and looking at his father with a nonchalant expression, as if what was flowing on the ground was not blood but water."

"He told my father that if he let me go, he would study medicine and do his best to satisfy my father. He would inherit his father's career and would never embarrass my father. If he didn't agree, he should be buried with Aunt Zhong so that it would be convenient for him to burn incense in the future."

"I told him that I would not leave and that we would stay in the Lu family together, but it was useless. He was very naughty and not obedient at all..." Gu Huanyou spoke very slowly, as if if he spoke too quickly, it would tear the healed wound.

"The father was very angry. His son actually dared to threaten him in such an outrageous way! Even though his son's wrist was bleeding, he still refused to give in. This is our father."

"But Huanchu was not afraid of angering him at all. He just said calmly that this was not a threat, but just a deal, so that his father would not have to worry that he would use this method to force him to submit in the future."

"Because life is only once, he will only use this method once, and the deal will only be made once. If father thinks it is worthwhile, his future life belongs to father and the Lu family. If father thinks it is not worthwhile and wants to refuse, that's fine too. He said he misses his mother."

"Father still didn't give in, but just sternly told him to stop messing around."

"We all knew that my father still had no intention of giving in. At that time, he just nodded and said softly that he understood. Then he took the scalpel and turned to leave. This time, my father finally panicked and finally said he agreed."

"Huangchu handed the scalpel directly to his father and asked him to treat his wound. He snuggled up to his father and was surprisingly obedient and well-behaved."

"He was eight years old at that time. In the past eight years, I never knew that brat could be so well-behaved when he was awake, except when he was asleep! Suddenly, while my father was concentrating on treating the wound, he winked at me and smiled triumphantly."

"At that moment, I finally felt relieved, but I felt even sadder."

"What's the point of me leaving alone? I don't want to leave. Later he told me that he really wanted to stay in the Lu family because he wanted to usurp the throne!" Gu Huanyou smiled sadly when he said this.

Suddenly, she changed the subject and said, "This brat is really good at acting. You better be more careful next time!"

These words made Mu Chaosheng couldn't help laughing out loud.

Although Gu Huanyou went abroad, she and Lu Huanchu always maintained a close sister-brother relationship. Although they were not together over the years, they knew everything about each other, as if they had always lived together.

Mu Chaosheng heard many other things from Gu Huanyou.
