Chapter 51: Concealment (2nd Update)
In his previous life, He Zhao'er was good at two-sided and three-faced, one set clearly, and another set behind his back. In this life, she has avoided He Zhao'er as much as possible, but He Zhao'er still refuses to let her go.
What are the benefits of He Zhao'er doing this?
She didn't understand, she really didn't understand......
Mo Ju explained: "Third Miss is still dissipating, don't be like a villain." ”
Lu Shuyi raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows, and muttered, "I just don't understand why He Zhao'er wants to harm me so much." I have no grievances with her, so why should she do this? ”
Mo Ju opened her mouth after hearing this, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, as if she had something to say.
Lu Shuyi glanced at her and asked, "Do you know something?" ”
Mo Ju slightly stared at the light of tea on the table, as if she had fallen into a memory. After a while, Fang whispered, "When the slave maid was serving by the old lady's side, I heard a rumor. ”
"Rumors?" Lu Shuyi was interested, pulled Mo Ju to sit opposite, and said in a low voice: "You say slowly, what is the rumor?" ”
Mo Ju groaned: "This rumor is about Miss He Jiabiao...... It is said that she is not Mrs. Ho's biological daughter. ”
Not Madame Ho's biological daughter?
Lu Shuyi opened her mouth wide in surprise, and she didn't even dare to blink her eyelashes, lest she hear it wrong: "You mean, He Zhao'er is not He Tai's own sister?" ”
She was a human being for two lives, and this was the first time she had heard this news. In the previous life, He Zhao'er finally heard that he was married to Yangzhou, and he was married to a seven-grade civil official in Yangzhou......
According to the power of the He family at that time, no one could have imagined that Mrs. He would marry her only daughter so far away, and she would marry a family with a low background. It seems that she deliberately distanced herself from the He family.
Mo Ju's voice was calm. Said slowly: "Listen to the old lady." He Zhao'er was originally the illegitimate daughter of Mrs. He's maternal brother. The elder brother of the second wife of He raised an outer room outside, and I heard the old lady say that the outer room was brought by the second master He from Jiangnan, but after giving birth to Miss He Jiabiao, he died of dystocia. Mrs. He's brother wanted to bring the child home to raise him, but the wife in his family was very powerful and couldn't tolerate the child at all. Mrs. He's brother couldn't bear his blood flowing on the street, so he hugged the child and begged Mrs. He with a shy face. ”
Mrs. Ho is Ho Tai's mother......
Lu Shuyi's heart was beating when she heard this. She didn't expect the He family to have such a secret thing. Now that I think about it, He Tai and He Zhaoer do look different. He Zhao'er was born with a charming attitude, although she was only eleven years old, she already had a girl's charming charm between her eyebrows.
Mo Ju continued: "Second Mrs. He didn't want this child at first, after all, it was the child of a wild woman outside, and it was not the right way. Besides, the elders in the family may not be able to agree to this, so they refused. Who knew that the child was destined for Second Master He, and he smiled when he saw Second Master He. Second Master He doesn't have a daughter by his side, so Second Master He is the master. raised the child as his own daughter, and shut his mouth. They were not allowed to publicize the matter, so they kept it a secret. ”
Lu Shuyi couldn't come back to her senses when she heard it, and said blankly: "This news...... Is it reliable? ”
Mo Ju nodded: "Since the old lady said it, then this matter is about reliable." After a pause, she whispered again: "Think about it, if He Zhao'er knows her own background, then her thoughts about He Tai ......"
This remark shocked Lu Shuyi's spine.
If He Zhao'er really knew her life experience, then she would definitely not treat He Tai as her own brother in her heart......
He Tai is gentle and elegant, and he is more beautiful than Pan An. And she and He Tai meet every day, if that day is moved, it will not be surprising......
If He Zhao'er has a heart for He Tai, then she will definitely regard herself, a woman who loves He Tai, as her first enemy.
In this way, the fact that he was repeatedly framed by He Zhao'er in his previous life can also make sense. And the reason why He Zhao'er married so far away in the end may be because Second Mrs. He found out about her thoughts about He Tai, and was afraid that there would be a scandal between their brothers and sisters, so she intended to marry her far away to prevent future troubles.
Lu Shuyi didn't dare to think about it anymore, this qiē was really unexpected......
But it's very reasonable, and I can't find any reason to refute it.
In her previous life, why was she so stupid, she never thought about this in the slightest......
Mo Ju saw that Lu Shuyi's face was not good, and she was afraid that she would be frightened, so she hurriedly comforted: "Third Miss, this is just what the slave maid heard, after all, this matter is very secret, maybe our old lady also heard it wrong, and I don't know!" ”
Lu Shuyi knew that Mo Ju was worried about herself, so she waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, don't worry!" I was just a little surprised! ”
Mo Ju exhaled softly: "Anyone who hears about such a thing will feel surprised and difficult to accept." Actually, the slave shouldn't have told you this, but the slave couldn't bear to see you distressed......"
Lu Shuyi took Mo Ju's hand clearly: "I understand, you are for my good." She looked sideways slightly, looked at the warm sunlight under the curtains, and said, "I won't say anything about this, and you have to keep your mouth shut." ”
"The slave knows, don't worry, Miss Three!"
"Also, if you have time, you can teach Dongmei and Holly more, so that they can also learn some fist and foot kung fu, and it may be useful in the future."
"The slave knows."
The master and servant talked a few more words, and Lu Shuyi dressed up and took Mo Ju and Dongmei to the Champs Courtyard to see the Wu family.
…………
At that time, behind the rockery in the garden of the Yilan Courtyard of the big house, there were two people, a man and a woman, who were He Tai and He Zhao'er.
He Tai looked angry, raised his hand and threw the purse in his hand on the ground, and asked, "Why do you want to lie to me?" Didn't you say it was given to me by my third cousin? ”
He Zhao'er was dressed in a peach-colored gown, with red eyes and a delicate look: "I...... Am I not doing it for your own good, too? Didn't my brother hear that Lu Shuyi liked you in her heart? ”
"When did she like me?" He Tai glared at He Zhao'er angrily, pursed his lips and looked very ugly, and then said, "Even if she likes me, what can I do?" Don't you know that my future marriage must be done with my mother's nod? He squatted down and picked up the purse on the ground, took out the paper cut from it, and sighed, "What are you doing here?" Is it just to make me think that the third cousin of the Lu family is a frivolous person? Let me think she doesn't know what to do? Silly sister...... Do you know how embarrassed I am? In the face of my third cousin's questioning, I can't wait to find a hole to get into, and never come out......"
He Zhao'er bit her lip stiffly, looking very painful, her beautiful eyes were overflowing with tears, Yingying looked at He Tai, and said with a crying voice: "As you said, that's what I thought." I am...... I'm just afraid that you will be robbed by Lu Shuyi. She pursed her lips and cried: "My brother has been the best to me since I was a child, if my brother has a woman by his side in the future, then what should I do?" Who's going to hurt me? ”
He Tai listened to these illogical children's playful words, and shook his head helplessly for a while: "What nonsense are you talking about?" What if I get married? You're still my favorite sister! ”
"No, no, no......" He Zhao'er was a little excited, and she used three nos in a row, she cried: "It is said that marrying a wife and forgetting my mother, not to mention that I am just your sister, how can you still love me......" She opened her eyes and grabbed He Tai's arm, crying and begging: "Brother, don't you get married in the future, okay?" ”
He Tai was stunned for a moment, thinking that his words were too heavy, which frightened He Zhao'er: "Okay, I don't blame you, don't say stupid things." He Tai's tone was much softer, and he said with doting: "You are not allowed to do such stupid things in the future, if you are caught, your mother will blame." ”
He Zhao'er wanted to say something more, but He Tai gently pushed her hand away, and said with a smile: "Go back and wash it, look at this face, it's not good for my aunt to see it." ”
He Zhao'er bit her lip, and looked straight at He Tai with a pair of starlight eyes like stars after the rain, as if she had a thousand words to say, but she hid it again, and only said lightly: "Brother, let's go first!" I'm watching you go! ”
He Tai chuckled and touched He Zhao'er's head: "Then I'll go." ”
When he turned around, he didn't know that He Zhao'er had been shedding tears. It wasn't until he was drifting away that she shook her shoulders and cried out in a muffled voice, like a branch of a flower crushed under a slate after a hurricane. With tears in her eyes, she murmured, "I don't know what year and month it will take for you to understand that we are not brothers and sisters......"
…………
Lu Shuyi slept very late this night, she was lying on the couch, her mind was full of the past between her, He Zhao'er, and He Tai in her previous life.
After combing through it carefully, she realized He Zhaoer's thoughts, and He Zhao'er's pain of wanting to love, but not daring to love.
She put her hands behind her head and thought silently. In her previous life, compared to He Zhao'er's unspeakable admiration, at least she was much better than He Zhao'er. She loves He Tai, she can say it when she opens her mouth, but He Zhao'er can't......
With such a comparison, it is no wonder that He Zhao'er will embarrass her everywhere. He Zhao'er's depression in her heart can't be released, maybe only by embarrassing her will He Zhao'er feel happy!
It's just that she doesn't understand, why did He Tai marry Lu Shufang in the end? And He Zhao'er hadn't left the cabinet at that time, why didn't she stop He Tai and Lu Shufang from getting married?
Half a month after He Tai got married, He Zhaoer married in Yangzhou. It is said that the He family gave a very rich dowry at that time, which was several times more than the dowry prepared by the Lu family for Lu Shufang......
He Zhao'er was already married, and she accompanied so many dowries, which is really a bit incomprehensible.
Could it be that He Zhao'er did something unseemly, and the He family gave so many dowries in order to compensate for the future uncle?
Lu Shuyi really couldn't figure it out, and she felt that her brain hurt when she thought about it. In her previous life, she didn't sort out a good relationship, and it is really difficult to sort it out at this moment.
Seeing that she was still sleeping with her eyes open, Mo Ju couldn't help yawning and said, "It's the middle of the night, you still haven't slept yet?" ”
Lu Shuyi saw that Mo Ju was also tired, so she turned over and lay down: "Sleep...... (To be continued......)
