Lu Luo's second sister is called Lu Su, and Lu Qijun doesn't like it, just because her biological mother, Sun, died in childbirth when she gave birth to Lu Su. Therefore, Erniang was regarded as an "ominous" person by her father Lu Qijun since she was a child.

Lu Luo and the Wen family have been away from the capital for many years, and about Erniang, they have only heard that they have been disrupted when they married the Jiang family, and they don't know anything else.

"Erniang fell into the well", the eldest aunt provoked Lu Qijun and had to investigate. And she took herself out and pointed out that she wanted Wen to check.

And Wen didn't want to check. Her meddling in this matter will undoubtedly cause panic among the concubines, thinking that she wants to seize power and establish authority. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, the concubines have been entrenched for seven years, and they are more like Lu Qijun's family. Wen rashly gave them Liwei, they would definitely bite back, and it was a hard bite.

Wen just wants to finish this trip to Beijing quietly with Lu Luo, don't cause trouble, and then go back to Huzhou Mansion to find a suitable marriage for Lu Luo, and be her rich wife quietly.

Wen didn't want to give anyone Shuwei, she just wanted the well water not to interfere with the river water. But Lu Qijun asked her to investigate, and she couldn't go against Lu Qijun clearly. The only way, the Wen family, handed over this matter to Lu Luo.

Lu Luo is a child, she has done it well, it is her little cleverness, and there is no big achievement; She messed up, also because she was immature and didn't make any big mistakes.

Sure enough, when they heard that it was the fifth girl who was running an errand in place of their mother, the aunts breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wen's is still as useless as before." The aunts all thought so.

Lu Luo "was ordered to be on an errand", and arrived at the courtyard of the second girl Lu Su early in the morning.

"When you were a child, you were not in good health, and you were always panting, but now that panting problem has you ever recovered?" Lu Su's face was still pale, but his face was gentle, and he gossiped with Lu Luo.

It can be seen that Erniang is very anxious to win over Lu Luo.

"It's all right, second sister. When I arrived in Huzhou Mansion, my ancestor found me a miracle doctor who specialized in treating strange diseases, drank medicine for two years, and completely cured it. Lu Luo smiled.

Lu Luo is very slender, but when she smiles, there is a round apple muscle on her cheeks, which looks very simple and delicate, and it is easy to win people's trust.

Lu Luo had asthma when he was a child, which was difficult to cure. However, in the humid climate of Huzhou Mansion, it was cured, which is also magical.

What's even more amazing is that the person who cured Lu Luo's illness was a woman surnamed Gu, who was not very old, and Lu Luo's mother and daughter still have contact with her.

"It's really the blessing of the ancestors," Erniang was pleased.

She even took the initiative to take Lu Luo's hand.

Erniang was thin and thin, her fingers were slender and cold, like a ball of ice, falling on Lu Luo's palm.

Lu Luo's heart was a little unbearable.

Wen said that Erniang was useless, and she was treated obediently by the eldest aunt. However, if you think about it carefully, Erniang was born without a mother, so who is there to be someone around her who is sincere?

No one educates, is Erniang naturally good at scheming?

Without her mother to raise Erniang seriously, and her father didn't like her, it was reasonable for her to be led by her nose by the scheming aunts.

Although Erniang obviously wants to use Lu Luo's mother and daughter now, she is also a pitiful person.

"Girl, the doctor has been invited, will you let him in now?" Lu Luo and Erniang were talking, and her maid Biyun came in and said.

Erniang was slightly stunned and thought, "Doctor? What doctor? ”

Lu Luo saw her doubts and explained with a smile: "Didn't the second sister fall into the water yesterday?" Although the ginger soup is cooked, in the end, it is necessary to ask the doctor to take a closer look, so as not to fall into the root of the disease. My mother said that in the alternation of spring and summer, if you are infected with cold evil, it is difficult to cure, so it is better to be careful."

Erniang looked at Lu Luo in a daze, she was very surprised. No one said to hire a doctor for her, and she herself had no extravagant hopes. Suddenly, the doctor came, and Erniang felt all kinds of feelings.

"The second sister is dressed neatly, so I'll let the doctor in?" Lu Luo asked again.

Erniang is still silent and has not yet returned to her senses. The maid beside her was very clever and helped: "Please come in, there is Miss Lao." ”

Lu Luo shook his head at the clouds.

Biyun understood, and soon invited Lao Langzhong in.

Lao Langzhong often walks in large households, knows the rules very well, lowers his eyes with a righteous face, and retreats after taking the pulse seriously.

Then, he explained the condition to Lu Luo's maid Biyun, saying that the patient was a little weak, and he could be cured by taking some qi-invigorating tonic and adding some red date soup.

In short, it's not sick.

Biyun gave the consultation fee and sent someone to send the doctor out, so he came in and told Lu Luo and Erniang about the doctor's diagnosis.

Erniang lowered her eyes.

Lu Luo looked at her and found that Erniang's eyelashes were a little wet with tears.

Lu Luo asked her for a doctor, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry, which surprised Lu Luo.

"Since the second sister is fine, let's get down to business." Lu Luo pretended not to see her tears, and said softly, "The matter of falling into the well, my father ordered a strict investigation, and I need an explanation to appease the second sister." What happened that day, please tell me in detail about the second sister"

Erniang didn't see a trace, raised her sleeves to cover her cheeks, and wiped the afterglow from her eyes.

She cleared her throat and began to tell the story of the day.

"When I woke up in the afternoon, I went out for a walk in the back garden. It's cool on the well platform, and I often sit there. Somehow, someone pushed me from behind, and my eyes went black and I fell to the bottom of the well. Erniang said.

At this point, she was indignant.

She said these things yesterday.

"Second sister, have you seen anyone?" Lu Luo asked again.

Erniang shook her head: "I've been thinking about who is going to harm me since yesterday, but I haven't remembered." At first, I was so confused that I didn't pay attention to my back. was pushed by someone, fell into the well, and was so frightened that his soul was gone, where can he still care about looking at people? ”

"Didn't you see the maid who followed you?" Lu Luo asked again.

Erniang has only one maid, named Zi Sandalwood, who is eighteen years old this year. Rosewood has a pockmarked face, looks stout, and is not very good-looking. She is not like a maid who serves closely, but like a rough worker.

Hearing Lu Luo's question, Zi Sandalwood knelt down and replied: "The second girl said that it was a little cold, let the maid go back to the house and get a piece of wind." When the servant turned back, something happened. ”

"And on your way back to the house, did you see anyone going to the backyard?" Lu Luo asked.

Rosewood hesitated. She looked up, looked at Lu Luo, and stopped talking.

"It's okay, you tell me, I won't talk nonsense." Lu Luo encouraged her, "If you don't say it, I can't find out if this matter is true, and the master will also handle you." ”

Zi Sandalwood seemed to be frightened, and immediately said: "The maid vaguely saw that a girl walked back, looking like Jin Se's figure, but she was not sure." ”

"Who is Jinse?"

"It's the girl in my aunt's house." Rosewood's voice was lowered, and it looked quite taboo.

Sure enough, Erniang's spearhead was directed at the eldest aunt.

Lu Luo understood the situation, comforted Erniang a few words, and got up.

Biyu and Yizhu followed Lu Luo and went to the east across the courtyard.

The eldest aunt Jane and the sixth girl Lu Zhi lived in the East Cross Courtyard.

Lu Luo came, the eldest aunt and the sixth girl were extremely enthusiastic, and ordered someone to serve tea and water, and the warm words were a basket.

The sixth girl is the "fifth sister", and she is more intimate than her sisters.

Lu Luo was not in a hurry, and slowly chatted with them. They are enthusiastic, and Lu Luo is also enthusiastic; They were silent, and Lu Luo was silent.

Her unhurriedness made the eldest aunt wary, thinking that this little girl was a bit Cheng Fu and not so easy to fool.

"The fifth sister came today to ask about the second sister falling into the water, right?" Liu Niang couldn't help it, and took the initiative to lead the topic to the right path.

Lu Luo nodded.

"Yesterday, did the people around the eldest aunt and the sixth sister go to the backyard?" Lu Luo asked.

Liu Niang denied it.

It was the eldest aunt, who said very happily: "Jin Se next to me happened to go to the backyard at that hour. It was also a coincidence, her mother sent her some things and asked her to go to the back door to get them. ”

Lu Luo sighed, and there was no other language.

Her expression was also sparse and demure, and she couldn't see her thoughts.

"The fifth girl is suspicious of us?" The eldest aunt asked tentatively.

"Something happened, as long as it's in this yard, it should be suspected. Don't say that the people around you are my mother's side, and I am also suspicious. Lu Luo said.

She doubts everyone.

Saying this, the eldest aunt was more relieved.

After saying a few words, Lu Luo said goodbye from the East Cross Courtyard and went to the West Cross Courtyard.

The second aunt took her three daughters and lived in the West Cross Courtyard. For Lu Luo's arrival, the second aunt was obviously surprised.

In addition to being surprised, the second aunt Ming was very cold, and she didn't take Lu Luo in her eyes at all. After saying a few words, she excused herself from being uncomfortable and went back to the house, leaving Siniang Lu Rui to greet Lu Luo.

Siniang can speak well and push things away.

"Fifth sister, it's almost lunchtime, will you eat with us?" Siniang even stayed with Lu Luo to eat, she was tempting.

"No, I have to go to the third aunt to sit down." Lu Luo said with a smile.

Siniang knew that Lu Luo walked through every yard.

The third aunt, Huo, lives in the South Hood Courtyard. Lu Qijun had nine daughters, but Huo added a son to him. The little young master's name is Lu Mu, and he is eight years old this year.

"Didn't Jin Se push it?" The third aunt was surprised by Lu Luo's visit.

They all heard the rumor that Jin Se, who was next to the eldest aunt, pushed Erniang into the water. And Erniang and the eldest aunt have always had a grudge, and there is no doubt about this conclusion in everyone's hearts, but they didn't say it.

The third aunt thought that she was just asking the second girl and the eldest aunt, how could she be involved?

Lu Luo smiled.

"Well, among the several aunts, the third aunt is stupid. But as fate would have it, she gave birth to a son. On this point, in my father's heart, no one can replace her. Lu Luo thought to himself.

After asking, Lu Luo roughly counted.

She returned to the main courtyard.

It was already time for lunch, and Wen waited for Lu to come back to eat.

After eating, Lu Luo told Wen about today's inquiry.

"Either the second sister fell into the well and framed the eldest aunt, or the eldest aunt sent someone to do it." Lu Luo said with a smile, "They have their own reasons, and if they continue to investigate, they will make a big deal about it."

Daddy asked us to check, but he didn't want things to get out of hand. We can't take people and torture them. I continued to ask, but there was no result. Otherwise, I'll do a hexagram and see what the hexagram says? ”
