A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the past few days, Han's mother and daughter quickly adapted to the life of Qiuhua Courtyard. Everyone felt very sorry for Zhao Pan'er, who had suffered such a tragic experience at a young age, and Zhihua also ordered that Pan'er should not be on an errand for the time being, and let her take care of her body. Cui'er only entered the house one day earlier than Pan'er, and her age is similar, she has been a younger sister since she was a child, and she regarded herself as a little sister when she saw Pan'er, and when Han's mother took care of the affairs of Qiuhua Hospital, she volunteered to take care of her sister, and the two of them were like sisters in two days. As soon as Qinghe's illness was cured, Zhihua said that when she asked the old lady to say goodbye the next day, she said that Aunt Zhou was grounded with a big belly, and she was afraid that the people around her second sister would not take good care of her. The words are sincere, and the love for her sister is overflowing, the old lady does not want to make more trouble during this time, and then anger her eldest son, Zhixiang can't refuse, so she can only accept her sister's kindness with a smile. Who in the house doesn't know that the closest maid around the eldest lady is Qinghe and Bailan, who have been serving around her since childhood. Hearing rumors afterwards, Zhi Xiangzhi smashed the tea cup on the spot, and all her anger was sprinkled on Qinghe, and she was beaten and scolded from then on. Qinghe had suffered this kind of hardship with Zhihua in the past, and in less than a day, she wanted to rely on her past feelings to beg the eldest lady to let her go back to Qiuhua Courtyard, but she was rejected by the mother-in-law who guarded the door of Qiuhua Courtyard, saying that the eldest lady had confessed, and Qinghe would be the second lady's person in the future, in order to avoid any misunderstanding between the second lady, Qiuhua Courtyard would no longer receive it. Now how can Qinghe not know that the things she did have been discovered, she finally began to regret it, but it was too late.

This morning, as soon as Zhihua came out of the old lady's greeting, he saw a little maid hurriedly running to report the news, he gasped, looked flustered, and shouted as soon as he entered the Songling Courtyard: "Old lady, it's not good! Uncle is coming to the door! Mother Wu, who heard the news, didn't care about punishing this little guy for making a mistake, and hurriedly led him to talk back to the old lady. Hearing that Jiang Wu, the eldest brother of the Jiang family, was making trouble with the Lu family, and brought a few guards all the way in from the gate of the Lu Mansion, the old lady fell on her back angrily, and got up tremblingly and rushed there in person. Seeing that Zhihua had not left Songling Courtyard, he ordered her to follow.

When the group walked to the reception hall, Jiang Wuzheng was sitting in the first place, with a solemn expression. There were no Lu family members standing in the hall, and the slaves and servants were all bruised and swollen, lying on the ground and screaming. The old lady held back the fear in her heart and said hard: "I don't know what my uncle means?" At this moment, Lu Zhenyuan, who rushed back from the yamen to take leave, arrived. Seeing the current scene, he also had a numb scalp. "Brother......" Before Lu Zhenyuan's salute was finished, Jiang Wu rushed up and made him immediately blue in the eyes. After beating Lu Zhenyuan, Jiang Wu said to the old lady, "What do you mean?" Don't you know what your Lu family has done to my sister? Dare you ask me what I mean? After all, Jiang Wu is a battle-hardened person, at this time, he stood so casually, although his tone was not heavy, but the old lady's legs were weak, if it wasn't for Mother Wu's tight support, she would have collapsed to the ground, showing her foreign appearance. In the past, I had only heard of Jiang Wu's brave slaughter, but today I felt it for the first time. Swallowing her saliva, the old lady opened her mouth dryly: "Uncle I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, right?" Jiang Lin...... Is it the ...... who died of illness"""? If it weren't for you, an old pious woman, who tortured her with her mother-in-law on weekdays, if it weren't for your good niece who blocked her every now and then, if it weren't for Lu Zhenyuan, a lud-blinded fool, who turned a deaf ear to her situation, my sister would have died of illness?! In the face of Jiang Wu's fierce accusation, the Lu family was speechless. Hearing these words, Zhihua's heart brightened, it must have been Uncle Zhong who waited for his uncle outside the city according to his instructions and reported his mother's affairs.

If Aunt Zhou's murder of Lu Yan had not been discovered, Lu Zhenyuan would have dared to pluck up the courage to refute a few words, but at this moment he was speechless, and for the first time felt that it was a big joke to think that he had a harmonious family. Jiang Wu said that he was blinded by lard, and it was really not wrong at all.

An excited voice came, breaking the silence that had embarrassed the Lu family, "Uncle! It turned out that Lu Yan, who had just finished class, came here. He ran all the way, and his small body crashed straight into Jiang Wu's arms, looking excited and close: "Uncle, my sister and I miss you so much!" Although Jiang Wu left Beijing for the frontier when he was one year old, his mother often mentioned his uncle's deeds to his sister and brother, so Lu Yan was not unfamiliar with his uncle. Jiang Wu picked up his nephew, and his eyes were red with excitement: "Good boy, they have grown so big!" At this time, Zhihua also stepped forward to salute, although the excitement in her heart was no less than that of the two nephews and uncles, but her face was not obvious, but she looked at her uncle's eyes full of admiration and silently told her joy. Jiang Wu noticed that the little girl behind the old lady just now was his niece, and seeing that she was calm and generous at a young age, he was also satisfied and nodded: "Okay, good, they are all good children!" ”

The scene finally eased up, and the old lady hurriedly called people to the tea and watch, not daring to slack off. Lu Zhenyuan was also helped up from the ground by the servant, with a look of guilt on his face, and there was no resentment. When Jiang Wu saw his expression, the anger in his heart towards the Lu family finally decreased. After everyone was seated, Jiang Wu went straight to the point and proposed to take his sister's children to his side and raise them personally. For this suggestion, Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhenyuan naturally refused to agree. If Jiang Wu takes away the two sisters and brothers today, tomorrow it will be rumored in Beijing that their Lu family spoils their concubines and kills their wives and treats their eldest children harshly. Once they have this kind of reputation, Lu Zhenyuan and Lu Zhenbang's careers will be completely broken. With the consequences of being so strict, Jiang Wu naturally knew that he had little hope of taking away his nephew and niece. But he really wanted to take care of the siblings personally, so he didn't give an inch.

"Big brother's kindness, I received it on behalf of Ah Hua and Yan'er. Please rest assured that my sister-in-law will definitely keep her eyes open and protect a pair of children from now on, otherwise, how can she be worthy of being a father?! If there is anything that the eldest brother is not worried about, just bring it up, our Lu family can do it, but if you want to raise them, please don't mention it again. My grandmother's father is still here, but I want my uncle to raise him, so how should our Lu family gain a foothold in the capital? ! "Speaking of this, Jiang Wu can't hold on any longer. He came today to support his nephew, not to make enemies, and he can only accept it when he sees it.

"Okay, then I'll make three requests, if your Lu family can do it, take away the nephew, I won't mention it again in the future." Thinking back to the content of the letter handed by Jiang Zhong outside the city, Jiang Wu slowly spoke: "First, my sister's dowry will be taken care of by Hua'er herself, and how to distribute it in the future will be discussed by the two of them themselves, and the Lu family can't interfere in the slightest!" Second, in Lu Yan's future studies, Mrs. Lu cannot interfere arbitrarily, and the marriage of the sister and brother must also be nodded by his uncle! Third, Lu Zhenyuan must mourn my sister for a year, and the cheap concubine in your house must personally copy a thousand Buddhist scriptures and burn them to my sister to atone for her sins, and when will the ban be lifted. The copied Buddhist scriptures are inspected by Hua'er, and if there is the slightest mistake, a thousand copies are recopied until there are no errors! ”

These three conditions are reasonable, and Lu Zhenyuan has no objection. Old Madam Lu was unwilling, she opened her mouth to speak, but Jiang Wu stared at her and said, "What, Old Madam Lu still thinks it is easier for me to take these two children back, right?" Now the old lady was dumbfounded, and waved her hand in frustration, "The old man is old, and he can't care about these things." It's good that the boss is in charge. Today's Jiang Wu made her finally realize that Jiang's maiden family is not easy to mess with. The old lady is a person who understands current affairs, and decided to endure this moment, and Jiang Wu will leave Beijing in the future.

After a lunch with their own thoughts, Jiang Wu got up to say goodbye, and the Zhihua sister and brother sent each other off.

"Uncle, how long can you stay in the capital this time?" The separation is imminent, and Lu Yan's reluctance is overflowing. Jiang Wu sighed: "There are many border matters, and my uncle can't stay in the capital for a long time." Before I came, I had already entered the palace to report to His Majesty about military affairs, and I was going to leave tomorrow. "Why doesn't he want to spend more time with his nephew who he hasn't seen for ten years, but he can't help himself when he is on official business." Ah Hua, if there is anything else you want your uncle to help with, just mention it, your uncle still has half a day to spare in the afternoon, and he will definitely help you get everything done. Among the gifts I have given you is a pair of carrier pigeons, one for each of your sisters and brothers. In the future, if something happens, I will use this to send a message to my uncle. The letter sent by Jiang Zhong made him clearly understand that his niece was a smart and scheming person. Most of the generals appreciate people who are straightforward and have no city in their hearts, but Zhihua's scheming only makes Jiang Wu feel relieved and not disliked at all, with the protection of such a sister, he is more at ease with Yan'er. "Uncle, I don't know if you're in the ministry, do you have anything to do with it?" Zhihua took a step forward and whispered in her uncle's ear. Jiang Wu also cooperated with her to lower her voice, "Shangshu Mengzhi used to be a friend of your grandfather, although the two families gradually broke off contact after your grandfather's death, but if I go to him, he will not shirk ordinary things." Zhihua smiled, a little naughty: "Uncle, don't worry, I want you to do it, but it's a trivial matter." After speaking, she whispered something in her uncle's ear, and her voice was so small that even Lu Yan, who was standing on the side, couldn't hear it clearly. Haha, it's a trifle! Don't worry, your uncle will do it for you, just wait to hear the good news! After Jiang Wu heard this, he laughed.

After sending off his uncle, Lu Yan was a little depressed. Since he was a child, his uncle, who was far away on the frontier to defend his family and country, was a big hero in his mind, and he finally met his uncle, and they had to be separated after getting along for less than half a day. Zhihua saw that his expression was sad, and she couldn't bear it, so she comforted him and said, "If Yan'er is really reluctant to give up his uncle, let's go to see him off early tomorrow morning, okay?" When Lu Yan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again. Well, you have to get up early, and you won't be allowed to stay in bed when the time comes! Zhihua pinched his little nose and quipped. Sister, when have I ever been in bed! I get up every day, sister, you don't get up as early as me! Lu Yan protested dissatisfied. Seeing that he finally had the spirit, Zhihua pursed her lips and smiled, and stopped teasing him. "Okay, good, it's my sister who said it wrong, Yan'er is a hardworking and good child!"
