"Before, you were pretending to be dizzy?"

Lu Li's words asked, Huai Xin's face was even more vigilant, "Are you coughing cough......" she coughed twice, "How can you see it?" ”

Lu Li didn't answer, only lowered his eyes and said, "Mrs. Huai cares about you very much." ”

The implication is that if you are like this, she will be very sad if she detects it.

Huai Xin covered her face with the quilt, "I know, mother...... Madame is the smartest, and I can't hide it from her. But this kind of thing ...... What shall I say? ”

The person under the quilt began to tremble again, and Lu Li's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Do you like Mrs. Huai very much?" He tried to change the subject, not letting Huaixin remember the things she was afraid of.

"Hmm." Huai Xin's voice was a little muffled.

Lu Li's voice was soft, "I heard that you are a concubine, and Mrs. Huai raised you under her knees, but she didn't particularly care about you." ”

"Nonsense!" Huai Xin was a little excited, and her voice tightened, "Madame treats me very well!" ”

At this time, a maid heard the movement and came in with medicine.

Huai Xin exhaled a long breath and drank the medicine under the service of the maid, feeling that his throat was much more comfortable. She cleared her throat and waved, "You go down." ”

The maid looked at Lu Li who was sitting at the head of the bed, Zhao Shu who was standing by the window, and then looked at Huaixin who was only wearing a middle coat, with a somewhat hesitant expression.

Huai Xin glared at her, "What do you think?" These two are my lifesavers! ”

Lu Li looked at the maid with a smile, "Don't worry, we won't hurt Miss Six, otherwise Mrs. Huai won't allow us to be here." If you are worried, keep an eye at the door. ”

In ancient times, the etiquette was strict, in order to avoid people's words, when Lu Li and Zhao Zhu stayed in Huaixin's room, the door was open, and the maids in the courtyard could see them as long as they walked to the side of the hall. Previously, Zhou's mother and a maid were guarding in the hall, but now that the shift is about to change, the new maid is not at ease.

The maid bit her lip, but still made up her mind and said, "But Miss is sick...... Can't blow the wind......"

"If you don't blow a little wind in the summer, do you want me to die of heat if I'm sicker!" Huaixin's health is a little better, and the unforgiving temperament on her mouth is revealed again.

Lu Li was happy to see this, at least it was better than trembling his body and being afraid to say nothing.

"Miss Six is sick, but fortunately, it is not difficult to treat, but she is depressed and needs to be released. The doctor also made it clear that opening the door from time to time to ventilate and opening the window for Miss Six to enjoy the scenery will help her recover. Lu Li looked at the maid with a smile, "It's always right to listen to the doctor, isn't it?" ”

The maid breathed a sigh of relief and gave Lu Li and Zhao Shu a deep blessing, "The slave and maid have overstepped the rules, please don't be surprised." ”

Lu Li waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter.

"The slave and maid are outside, and if the young lady has any orders, just answer them." The maid resigned from Huaixin.

Huaixin snorted impatiently.

After the maid left, Huai Xin apologized to Lu Li, "I'm sorry, these maids are all spoiled by me, and they all want to take care of their masters." ”

Lu Li was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Your master and servant are in harmony, very good." ”

"Who made peace with them!" Huai Xin turned his face sideways and hummed again.

The maid is worried about the master's health and reputation, and the master is worried that the maid will offend them and be hated, isn't this harmony?

Lu Li finally understood a little, Huaixin, this little girl, felt a little awkward.

"Would you like to talk to me about Mrs. Huai?" He continued the topic.

Huai Xin bit her lip slightly, "Why?" ”

"Because...... Mrs. Huai is not good to me. Lu Li smiled, picked up the red clay teapot on the three-legged incense table, and poured himself a cup of tea, "My mother and Mrs. Huai used to have a very close relationship, but when I came to ask for a meeting, Mrs. Huai directly gave Ma Wei, and her refusal was obvious, which was very unkind." ”

Lu Li always had a question in his heart, and he felt that if he didn't solve this question, even if Mrs. Huai agreed to talk to him about Miao Hongxiao, it was estimated that she would not be particularly deep and heartfelt," ...... So I don't like Mrs. Huai, and of course, she's probably not uncommon for me to like it. ”

But what he needed most was something deeper.

Therefore, it is more important to understand Mrs. Huai. He had a gut feeling that he could get something out of Huaixin's place.

Probably because of the grace of saving his life, or the most wolf side was seen by Lu Li, Huaixin trusted Lu Li very much, and when facing him, he had a kind of free and easy to break the jar, "Madame is easy to misunderstand, and I hated her when I was a child." ”

"Oh?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

"I can't remember what happened when I was too young," Huaixin hugged her knees, her head hung down, she couldn't see her expression, and her voice was very soft, "The nurse said, I looked very much like my sister when I was a child." My birth mother gave birth to me and hemorrhaged profusely, and it didn't take long for her to die. When Madame saw me crying sadly one day, she probably remembered the past, and when she saw that I was pitiful, she carried me to the main courtyard......"

But Mrs. Huai rarely hugged her, and rarely looked at her, she was brought up by the nurse. When she was three years old, she had to go to greet her wife every day, and at a young age, she had done enough to behave, and she was more upright than any of her sisters, but Mrs. Huai did not give much praise.

When they grew up, the sisters played together, grabbed children, fought for clothes, fought for their father's favor, small people, small circles, and began to have intrigues. This one says that my aunt is favored and I can have anything I want, and the other one says that I have a brother and will be relied on in the future, and you have to be good friends with me. Huaixin just understood the meaning of the concubine at that time, so she proudly said that I was raised by my mother's knees, and I will be a concubine in the future, and I am better than you.

One sentence caused the sisters to attack, Huai Xin was bullied severely, and ran to find Mrs. Huai crying, but Mrs. Huai still ignored it.

Mrs. Huai said that others bullied you, you can't bully back? Oh, and scolded you, so you won't talk back? If you can't beat others, just lower your body and don't provoke others, if you can't scold, it's easy to listen, it's good to watch, and it's good to ponder.

When others scold you, you find the most sore spot of others and step on it hard. If someone beats you, either you will swallow your anger, or you will find a way to beat someone and dare not provoke you.

It's just that the sisters quarrel, you cry and cry to find me to be the master, if you get married in the future, the mother-in-law of the husband's family, the maid will pinch you, and the concubine will squeeze you, and you will also come to me to cry?

……

At first, it was all such a trivial matter, and Mrs. Huai didn't care much, but told her in a not very kind attitude which direction she needed to work in. As she grew up and encountered difficulties again, Mrs. Huai didn't even point the direction, let her think for herself, and ask again, Mrs. Huai would only ask with a straight face, do you have this ability?

Huai Xin's eyes hurt with that disappointed look, she made up her mind to work harder, become stronger, and one day, to impress Mrs. Huai!

"When I was a child, I quarreled with my sisters, and other people's mothers asked for warmth, and my heart and liver were coaxed, Mrs...... It will only teach me what I did wrong, not good, what should I do next time. At that time, I hated her. I always thought, since you don't like me, and you just want to teach me a lesson when you see me, then why did you bring me here to raise me in the first place? ”

Huaixin's voice was a little choked, and after a while, he wiped his eyes and continued, "But when I grow up and take care of everything in the room, even the most difficult people are afraid of it; Madame threw me a few shops at will, and I could triple their profits in a year; Even...... Even though I was scared when I encountered today's events, I never thought of seeking death, and this qiē was taught by my wife. ”

"She taught me to take a long-term view and not to always think about the small profits in front of me. She taught me that there are always gains and losses in life, and that you need to understand yourself and make the right choices. She taught me that the world is difficult, and women are especially not easy, relying on the mountains and relying on the water, and relying on themselves. She taught me that I don't have to say anything, I should treat myself well, and become the best version of myself, and I will attract the best people...... I shouldn't be bothered by my status as a concubine, I shouldn't be depressed by the struggle for a small house, that's stupid. As long as I grow up strong and brave, I will have a bloom, I can laugh at all the ups and downs in the world, and I can attract the best people, friends, and family. ”

"Mother...... Never said anything sensational, affectionate, but she taught me so much. Huaixin sniffed, "I'm thirteen years old this year, but sometimes I can't talk to seventeen or eighteen-year-old famous daughters, I think they are very naïve." Messing around with Huaiyu, I sometimes do it on purpose, I just want my wife to look at me more, even if it's to scold me......"

Lu Li understood, Huai Xin didn't say a word that Mrs. Huai was a good person, but every word proved that she was a good person.

"I was pretending to be dizzy...... It's because I don't know how to face her. Huai Xin turned his face, and his black pupils were as clean and clear as if they had been washed," Shi Yi said...... It's disgusting, in front of me, raping corpses...... When other girls encounter this kind of thing, they will probably want to die of fright, and I was scared at the time, but now I am only disgusted, and I don't want to die. I don't know what kind of expression Madame wants to see me, I don't know if I'm going to disappoint her, I don't want to see her disappointed face again......"

Lu Li smiled, "Do you still think that Mrs. Huai doesn't like you?" ”

"She raised me just because I was very similar to my late sister-in-law, and she raised me, and she couldn't let go of the responsibilities that had been taken into her hands......" Huai Xin was a little puzzled, "Isn't it?" ”

"Of course not." Lu Li blinked, her eyes sparkled, and the brilliance flowed, "When she heard that you were missing, she immediately fainted, and when she saw that we had clues, she forcibly supported the sick body and deceived your eldest brother, follow us carefully, you must see you with your own eyes, so you can rest assured." Even if she sees you, her behavior is full of gaffes, and you still think that she doesn't care about you? ”

Huai Xin's eyes were a little confused.

Lu Li said again, "Have you ever seen her do this to the people next to her?" Except, of course, your brothers-in-law. ”

Huai Xin thought for a long time, and her eyes brightened little by little.

"So, as long as you're healthy and well, what's going on doesn't matter to her. It doesn't matter if you react any way, she cares about you as a person, and she won't be disappointed what you do. Lu Li's fingertips tapped on the tabletop, and the sandalwood made a crisp sound, crisp and beautiful.

Huaixin's face turned red a little, "Mother, she likes me!" ”

"Hmm."

"I'm going to see her!" Huai Xin said that he was about to get out of bed.

Lu Li held her down, "Mrs. Huai is resting, you are also sick and need to be raised." In the future, there will be some opportunities to say in the future, if you go to see Mrs. Huai with your illness now, she will be angry. ”

Huai Xin pursed her lips and sat back, as if agreeing with Lu Li's words. After that, she bit her lip, her eyelashes flickered, and she still looked worried, "Mother...... Really care about me? ”

Lu Li bowed his head and looked at her with a smile.

Huai Xin laughed again, her big eyes were bright, her little face was flushed, and she looked like a completely healthy and lively child.

Lu Li nodded secretly and relieved again.

"Wouldn't you be curious if Mrs. Huai treats you like this?" After being quiet for a while, Lu Li spoke tentatively.

"Curious," Huai Xinxing's eyes curved slightly, "so I often eavesdrop on her talking to Zhou's mother." ”

"Mother Zhou is my mother's dowry maid and is very loyal, and my mother occasionally talks to her with some intimate words." Huai Xin remembered the past, and her expression became confused again, "Mother often chats with Zhou's mother about a close friend in her boudoir, she seems to like that person very much, admires her, misses her, but that person seems to be dead." I sometimes think that my mother seems to want me to be like her, with a pair of eyes, a bright mind, strong, independent, never crying, and a smile on my ......face."

"My mother seems to have spent a lot of money every year to inquire about the whereabouts of this man, but after many years, she has never received good news. Once my mother was sick for a long time, lying quietly and recuperating, not letting anyone disturb her, even my father had to report the past, I was very worried, and quietly ran over, wanting to sneak a look at my mother, and happened to meet Zhou's mother persuading my mother. Zhou's mother said that she couldn't find clues for so many years, and now she was threatened again, and if she continued, she might have terrible consequences, so she persuaded her mother to give up. But the mother said that it was because of this that she had to look for it even more, because Ah Xiao must be in greater danger...... By the way, my mother's friend has a smile in her name, and my mother calls her a smile! ”

Lu Li's face remained unchanged, but his heart was full of waves, and he smiled...... Is it his mother Miao Hongxiao!

Mrs. Huai said...... Keep looking...... That person? ”

Huaixin nodded, frowning, "Mother also said that she knew that Ah Xiao had a son, but she didn't know where the child was. She knew that Ah Xiao was smart, and she would definitely hide the child when she encountered a danger that she couldn't handle, and if so, Ah Xiao would probably die. But she was unwilling, she didn't see Ah Xiao's body, she didn't believe that people were dead, even if they died, she would help her take revenge, so she kept clues. ”

"The mother didn't find the child before, but then she was threatened by someone who didn't know the details, and she didn't dare to look for it for fear that she would be targeted. She said that she believes that Ah Xiao is more than herself, and as long as the child is implicated by her, it must be safe. ”

"A month ago, my mother happened to meet a Mrs. Bai from Xingyuan on the street, and the two seemed to be old acquaintances and chatted for a long time. At that time, I accompanied my sisters to choose rouge in the shop next to me, and I went to ask for peace, and my mother was very happy at that time, but when she returned home, her face was very heavy. I accidentally overheard my mother talking to Zhou's mother, and my mother was very unhappy, saying that 'this matter is too dangerous, and the adult bears it, how can the child be involved, what should I do if something happens', she seems to be blaming Mrs. Huai, saying that if she is replaced, she must have a good birth to protect the child......"

After Huai Xin thought back to the past, he let out a long sigh and looked at Lu Li, "Look, my mother is so awkward and stubborn. But she's a good person, don't hate her, okay? ”

Lu Li's eyes were a little hot, and he seemed to understand what kind of person Mrs. Huai was......

He closed his eyes, exhaled a long breath, and suppressed all the thoughts in his heart before he opened his eyes and looked at Huaixin, "Are you afraid to see something like that today?" ”

Huaixin nodded, and shook her head again, "I was scared at that time, but if I survived, I won't be afraid." ”

"Do you know what that's all about?"

Huai Xin's face turned pale, and she bit her lip and turned her head away.

Lu Li sighed in his heart, he knew that this psychological level was always difficult, and if it was not good to adjust, he would miss his life. So although this topic was a bit heavy, and it wasn't something that the two of them unmarried men and women could discuss openly, he couldn't help but speak, "Huaixin, you will always get married." ”

Huaixin stuffed her face in the quilt, and her voice was a little urned, "I want to be a sister-in-law, and I won't marry!" That's disgusting! ”

"You tell Mrs. Huai what you have encountered and what you think in your heart, and be coquettish with her, so that she cares about you, okay?" Lu Li shallowly hooked the angle and guided Huaixin.

"Don't!"

Huai Xin's voice was crisp and eager, even if she couldn't see her face, Lu Li knew that she was shy. He chuckled lightly and continued to guide, "Didn't you say that you don't know how to face Mrs. Huai?" You tell her what you see and what you think in your heart, showing weakness and coquettishness, which is one way. ”

Huaixin understood now, lifted the quilt, and looked at Lu Li with big hopeful eyes, "Mother will hurt me, won't she?" ”

Lu Li's face was serious, "Of course." As a mother, I can't stand the spoiling of my children. ”

Huai Xin's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought about the feasibility of doing so.

When Lu Li saw her take the bait, he was relieved. Huaixin is still young and ignorant of sex, and when she encounters a pervert like Shi Yi, her concept will be impacted. Fortunately, she is still young and can guide. Listening to the words of your heart to those close to you, and getting comfort and care from your loved ones, will dilute this feeling over time. Huaixin is very strong, and after a few years, she will get better.

So now there is no need to mention the matter of marriage at all, he will communicate with Mrs. Huai and tell her what she needs to pay attention to......

No matter how strong she is, she will drag the girl who has been hit with her sick body, and her spirit is already super strong for a while, Huaixin quickly lay down tired and fell asleep again.

Lu Li tucked the quilt corner for her and looked out the window in the direction of Mrs. Huai's yard.

He clenched his hands into fists and told himself not to be in a hurry, not to be in a hurry...... Now, it's time to put Shi Yi on trial.
