Chapter 5 Conspiracy
At the end of Shen Shi (3 or 4 p.m.), this time of the day is when Master Zhuang finishes the last class of the day, and today is no exception. Lu Yan was also the same as usual, walking on the road back to Qingyunyuan, where he lived, followed by Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong brothers. Halfway through, suddenly a little maid with bright eyes hurriedly came up and saluted, "Young Master, eldest lady has something to ask you to go to the Garden Viewing Pavilion, she is waiting for you there." "The viewing pavilion is located in the center of the only small pond in Lufu, and it is named after the best time to watch the lotus flowers bloom in the pond in summer. Remembering that her sister had only told her in the morning not to get close to the pond, but in the afternoon she sent someone to invite her to the viewing pavilion, Lu Yan felt that this matter was very strange. Looking at the strange little maid in front of her, although she couldn't see her expression clearly when she lowered her head, but if you looked closely, it was not difficult to find that her posture was a little shaky, and her legs were shaking. Lu Yan knew it in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said to the little maid with a pleasant face: "There is too much homework left by the master today, if you go back to your sister, you will say that I will go to see her tomorrow." After speaking, he didn't wait for the little girl to reply, and walked forward. didn't take two steps, and stopped, and it turned out that the little girl had the courage to pull the hem of her clothes. "Young Master, the eldest lady is looking for you with something important, she just came out of Aunt Zhou, she seems to have suffered some grievances, sitting in the pavilion and crying." The Begonia Courtyard where Aunt Zhou lives is not far from the small pond, if my sister is really wronged, it is not impossible to cry in the pavilion. Thinking of this, Lu Yan really couldn't feel at ease if he didn't take a look, but his doubts were still not gone, and he asked, "Which courtyard are you on an errand boy?" I've never seen you with my sister. "The slave is a rough maid, and she is responsible for cleaning the garden on weekdays. The eldest lady now only has Sister Bailan by her side, so she asked the slave maid to come over and pass the word. "If that's the case, then you lead the way." After thinking about it a few times, Lu Yan decided to take a look. Seeing that he didn't tell the little guy next to him to retreat, the little maid timidly stopped her: "Young master, a foreign man can't enter the backyard ......" "Is the little guy next to me a foreign man?" Could it be that there is no housekeeper to go to the backyard on weekdays? Although Lu Yan is young, he is quite dignified when he gets angry with a straight face. Seeing that she couldn't stop it, the little maid didn't dare to make more trouble, so she hurriedly made amends and led the way.
One was afraid of complications, the other was worried about his sister, and the group walked in a hurry and walked quickly. After a while, we arrived near the pond. Lu Yan's eyesight is very good, and he saw two girls in the viewing pavilion from a distance, and when he took two steps closer, Lu Yan could see that although the figure was about the same height as his sister, he was by no means a sister. He knew that there was a deception, but he did not make a sound, turned around and walked back. The little maid didn't expect him to be so alert at such a young age, so she hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him again, and called loudly: "Young master, why are you going back?" Miss is still waiting for you! "This is to remind the two mothers-in-law who are in ambush behind the rockery not far away that things have changed. The two mothers-in-law secretly said that it was not good, and after glancing at each other, they made up their minds, and hurriedly rushed over, shouting in their mouths, "The eldest lady has invited the young master" and stepped forward to pull Lu Yan. These two mothers-in-law were specially found by Aunt Zhou, and their strength is greater than that of ordinary mothers-in-law, and they originally planned to land at a young age, but they were suddenly shocked to hear that their sister had been wronged, and they must not worry about coming to check, as long as they can be deceived near the pond, whether he is on guard or not, these two mothers-in-law are enough to clean him up. Aunt Zhou's plan can almost be said to be foolproof, but what she didn't expect was that the two little girls who only entered the house on an errand in the morning and didn't take it seriously would spoil her business. Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong's grandfather were able to be personal guards back then, accompanying Lu Yan's grandfather to the battlefield, needless to say, one of the top masters in the Jiang family's guards. The tiger father has no dogs, although Jiang Zhong no longer has to be a guard to accompany his master on the battlefield, but his martial arts still have not fallen, and he has the true inheritance of his father. Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong have also practiced martial arts since childhood, and the two brothers have cooperated very tacitly in the past few years, although they are only in their teens, but the two of them cooperate to bring down a few strong men at all. Three times five divided by two, the two mothers-in-law were put to the ground by Jiang Quan and Jiang Yong. Lu Yan didn't expect these two brothers to be so good, he knew that he wouldn't run away just now, so he directly ordered them to come forward and check on the people. "Tie up the three of them, let's go find my sister!"
The three people who fell to the ground heard the words and glanced at each other, they were all found by Aunt Zhou from outside Zhou, they had never entered the Lu Mansion on weekdays, and now they were all removed from the joint of one leg by these two brothers, it hurt to walk, they couldn't run at all, there was only a dead end in front of them, if they were captured alive, their families would definitely be buried. The three of them made up their minds and committed suicide by biting their tongues on the spot.
Jiang Quan carried the frightened Lu Yan back to Qingyun Courtyard, and Jiang Yong went to Qiuhua Courtyard to tell what had happened. When Zhihua heard the news, she immediately sent someone to inform her grandmother and took Han Niangzi to see her younger brother. After seeing his sister, the frightened Lu Yan finally came back to his senses, and threw himself into his sister's arms with a loud cry of "Wow", sobbing and crying, "Sister, I'm so scared, they suddenly spurted a lot of blood from their mouths, so scary...... "No matter how sensible my brother is, after all, he is only a nine-year-old child." Seeing his pitiful appearance, Zhihua couldn't say anything to blame, patted him on the back, and kept comforting him, "It's okay, brother, sister is here, don't be afraid!" After Lu Yan's expression calmed down a little, Han Niangzi stepped forward to check his pulse, filled a pair of calming potions from the medicine box she carried with her, and fried it with her own hands. After Zhihua fed her brother the medicine, she watched him gradually fall asleep, and she was always relieved, and asked Han Niangzi to stay and take care of him tonight.
It was getting dark, and it was about to be the time for my father to return home. Zhihua personally went to the door to greet his father and tell him about it. In his previous life, the reason why his younger brother fell into the water was "greedy for fun", although his father was sad at the time, he didn't suspect it at all, and now the evidence that someone wants to murder his younger brother is conclusive, Zhihua wants to see how his father reacts.

You go back and rest first, you are also scared of today's events, go back and ask people to boil some soothing decoction. Zhihua has been raised by her mother's side since she was a child, and she is not very close to her father, and her deepest impression of her father is that she was ruined after being calculated in her previous life, and her father's extremely disappointed eyes at that time. Now it seems that his father, like her at the beginning, was deceived by Aunt Zhou's deliberate meek illusion, but in fact, he still values the love of flesh and blood very much in his heart. Therefore, Zhihua decided to slowly tear off Aunt Zhou's disguise in front of her father. "Father, actually...... There is another thing, I don't know if it has anything to do with what happened to my brother today......" Zhihua hesitated, looking cramped and didn't know whether to say it or not. "What's the matter? Tell me about it. Lu Zhenyuan thought that he was always used to maintaining the image of a strict father in front of the child on weekdays, and it seemed that he was scared of the child, and he didn't dare to tell himself anything. Thinking of this, he deliberately slowed down his expression and looked at his daughter encouragingly. "This morning, Qinghe went to the garden to help me pick flowers and met Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou made some pastries for her daughter, and Qinghe helped her carry them back. When the daughter saw those pastries, she couldn't help but think of her mother's cooking, she really couldn't eat them, and she couldn't bear to live up to her aunt's kindness, so she rewarded them to Qinghe. Who knew that Qinghe fell ill in the afternoon, vomiting and diarrhea, and then her daughter invited the doctor Han Niangzi, she said after seeing what Qinghe had eaten......" Speaking of this, Zhihua glanced at her father, looking timid and uneasy and did not dare to continue. "What did the doctor say?" Lu Zhenyuan frowned, looking at his daughter's timid appearance and feeling pity: "You are your father's daughter, tell your father clearly if you have anything, and your father will definitely call the shots for you." The doctor said that nothing else was unusual, except that there was a very heavy laxative in the pastries...... There are not many pastries, if the daughter eats it, the amount is just right, today I rewarded Qinghe, her appetite is smaller than that of her daughter, so there are some left......" Zhihua said later, and she was already crying: "Dad, my daughter doesn't dare to mention this matter to the old lady, Aunt Zhou is the old lady's maiden niece, and the old lady will not believe her daughter." If it was her daughter who was sick today, Yan'er would be upset when she heard the news after school, and she would not be as alert as she was today...... Thinking of these consequences, my daughter was so scared that ...... "Crying to the end, it's a fake show, because this terrible consequence really happened!" Lu Zhenyuan's heart was extremely chaotic, and when he thought of the consequences of what his daughter said, his heart was also cold. It turned out that the woman who was meek and deferential in front of him would do such a vicious thing behind his back! Although Lu Zhenyuan had no doubts about the Zhou family before, he was not a fool, seeing the facts in front of him, he remembered that the old lady had smiled and told him that looking at Aunt Zhou's pregnancy, it was exactly the same as when she was pregnant with the third child, and it must be a son. If something happens to the only eldest son, then he definitely doesn't want to see the young son who is about to be born become the eldest son, Aunt Zhou is a concubine and he has been in love for many years, plus the old lady is in charge, and when the time comes, it will be a sure thing to help. Thinking of this, although the people who committed the crime have died without proof, he has determined that this is Zhou's handwriting! He took his crying daughter into his arms, patted her gently on the back and comforted her: "Good boy, go and offer incense to your mother in a while, thanks to her blessing in the spirit of heaven, that poisonous woman has not succeeded." Don't be afraid, when she gives birth to a child, her father will send her to Zhuangzi, and never let her have another chance to harm you! In the future, don't hide any grievances you have suffered, tell your father, your father will call the shots for you, you know? Zhihua nodded obediently, knowing in her heart that it was not easy to send Aunt Zhou to Zhuangzi, but she didn't say anything.
At the beginning of the day, news came from Songling Courtyard that after dinner, the uncle and the old lady sent off the people, and they didn't know what to talk about in the room, the uncle and the old lady were very angry, and after some arguments, the uncle brushed his sleeves and left. The old lady immediately called herself sick, and Aunt Zhou was angry with the uncle, and was ordered by the uncle to be demoted to a cheap concubine, and she was not allowed to go anywhere in the Begonia Courtyard before giving birth to a child.
When Zhihua heard the news, she just smiled faintly. She had long known that it was impossible for Mrs. Lu to watch her niece go to Zhuangzi to endure hardships, and she did not report any hope for the expulsion of Aunt Zhou, so she was not disappointed. She knew that being demoted to a concubine was the fruit of Lu Zhenyuan's compromise, because even if a person who had been a concubine was promoted back to a concubine in the end, he was not qualified to be corrected, and Lu Zhenyuan wanted to end Aunt Zhou's hope of correcting. But Zhihua also knows that Aunt Zhou, a woman, will not be willing to admit defeat like this, she knows Lu Zhenyuan well and the old lady's support, even if she has the humiliating label of a concubine, she has the confidence to compete with her stepfamily in the future! Zhihua didn't want to drive away Aunt Zhou just like that, cutting off her way to straighten out this is only the first step, she hasn't paid off all the pain that this woman has inflicted on her, how can she be willing to let her go to Zhuangzi to enjoy happiness.
As Zhihua expected, in the Begonia Courtyard at this time, Aunt Zhou's expression was calm. She hugged her daughter with one hand, gently stroked her belly with the other, and comforted her crying daughter softly: "Xiang'er, don't be afraid." When your brother is born, your father's anger has passed, and when the time comes, for the sake of your brother's face, your aunt will still turn over. It's just that this time the old lady is also sick, if there is a subordinate who welcomes the high and the low to give you anger, you can bear with it for the time being, let's not fight for this moment. Lu Zhixiang, who is only three months older than Lu Yan, has been living in Aunt Zhou's pampering, and it is the first time she has seen her father so angry, after her father left, she couldn't help but be terrified, and Aunt Zhou couldn't stop crying after comforting her for a long time. Finally, Aunt Zhou's patience ran out, and she shouted: "Don't cry!" Look at the one in Qiuhuayuan, who is only three years older than you, and he is not obvious on weekdays, but he broke his aunt's situation lightly and skillfully. Look at yourself again, you have to be strong all day long, and you don't have the slightest bit of the city. Don't you like to compare with her? Can you be more scheming than her, more favored by your father? Can you?! This is also the first time that her aunt has yelled at her since she grew up, Zhixiang was so shocked that she suppressed her crying, thought carefully about her aunt's words, and nodded to her aunt firmly: "Auntie, you teach me!" I must be better than her! Angry at the baby girl on the tip of her heart, Aunt Zhou felt uncomfortable, she sighed self-reproachfully: "It's all my fault that my aunt spoils you too much on weekdays, you can rest assured, my aunt will definitely teach you how to behave in the world, and in the future, you will be no worse than the eldest daughter who lost her mother!" ”
In the middle of the night, Lu Yan still had a high fever. Fortunately, Zhihua left Han Niangzi in Qingyun Courtyard, and under her careful care, Lu Yan had a fever before dawn, and survived the fate without danger.
