Chapter 556: Concealment (2nd Update)
Lu Shuyi nodded, took a sip and said, "There is one more thing I think you must not know." ”
"What's the matter?"
"The person behind An Zhiming is likely to be the second young master of the Pan family."
"Second Young Master of the Pan Family?" Mama Qian muttered: "I haven't heard of the Pan family and the An family before, how can it be him?" ”
Lu Shuyi half-squinted, glanced at Mama Qian and said, "Do you think that the Pan family has repeatedly targeted our Lu family?" ”
Mama Qian thought for a while, and said with a "hiss": "Think about it carefully, it's true." ”
"Well, then do you know if our Lu family has an old feud with the Pan family?" Lu Shuyi said slowly: "If there is no hatred and no grudge, why should they target us?" Still want to design my uncle? It's incomprehensible. ”
Mama Qian lowered her eyes and carefully recalled the past, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of the festival between the Lu family and the Pan family, and finally she could only shake her head helplessly and said: "After thinking about it for a long time, I really can't think of it." He added: "The Lu family and the Pan family usually don't have deep friendships, and the two old ladies have very little contact, so there should be no big hatred and grudges." ”
"That's weird, since there is no big grudge, why does the Pan family have to target our Lu family?" Lu Shuyi's tone was pulled, her eyes looked directly at Mama Qian, and then she went straight to the point and said: "Mama, in fact, I invite you to come over today not only for this matter, I have other things to ask you." ”
Mama Qian blinked and hesitated, "Something else?" I don't know what Miss is going to ask? ”
"I want to know if our Lu family has offended anyone in the past? Or rather...... Have you ever done anything to be sorry for others? Or something extremely secret......"
She looked at Mama Qian for a moment.
Mama Qian was stunned for a moment, and her expression sank significantly.
Lu Shuyi caught this expression on Mama Qian's face. is even more sure of the previous conjecture, the Lu family, has definitely been sorry for others or has had a deep hatred with others.
"Judging by your expression, there should be, right?" Lu Shuyi didn't take her eyes off Mama Qian's face, looked at her for a long time, and said, "I remember Mama just said that as long as you know everything, you must know everything, and you can't say everything, I don't know if you will still count at this moment?" ”
The tone paused slightly. He smiled slightly, "Of course." Even if your words don't count, my words will still count, and I will definitely help your son. ”
When Mama Qian heard this, the corner of her forehead jumped, and she said: "I ......" and looked at Lu Shuyi with a hesitant face. "It's not that I don't say it. It's ......."
"Mama doesn't have to explain. Since you have a hard time speaking, I will not force you to say it. Lu Shuyi pointed to the tea bowl on the table and said lightly: "Drink this bowl of tea." I will send you back. ”
She lowered her eyebrows and drank tea, and no longer looked at Mama Qian.
Mama Qian is also a person who has experienced wind and rain, but she was shocked by the momentum on Lu Shuyi's body, pinched the corners of her clothes and thought anxiously for a moment, and finally sighed: "I know that sooner or later this secret will not be kept......"
Lu Shuyi just swallowed a mouthful of tea soup, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Mama Qian, and said, "Mama, have you thought about telling me?" ”
Mama Qian weighed it and nodded, "Yes." ”
Lu Shuyi sat up straight and listened carefully.
Mama Qian sighed first, and then breathed a sigh of luck before she spoke: "Speaking of this secret matter, there are only three people in the Lu family who know, one is me, and the other two are who, I think you can definitely guess it, Miss." ”
Lu Shuyi nodded, but did not interject.
Mama Qian continued: "Speaking of this secret for fifty or sixty years, if you don't ask, I almost think that I am going to take this secret into the grave......
She said slowly: "Before your grandfather married your grandmother, he had actually raised a loving outer room outside. The outer room girl is a girl from an ordinary family, surnamed Wei, who has a teahouse at home, and is also from an innocent background.
"Actually, the person your grandfather wanted to marry was her, but at that time, the Lu family was in the midst of development, if he married this Wei family, it would be equivalent to not helping him, so your grandfather's mother didn't agree, and immediately told him a family affair, and used the Wei family's life as a threat to ask your grandfather to marry......"
Lu Shuyi frowned when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "What about later?" ”
"Later, your grandfather had no choice but to marry your grandmother Chen, the Chen family was a big family in Changle Town at that time, so it helped the Lu family's business a lot" Qian Mama said in a low voice: "But your grandmother is an extremely jealous woman, and she is a delicate person, and she has many ways to deal with people." ”
"At first, the relationship between your grandmother and your grandfather was okay, but later your grandmother found out that your grandfather often didn't go home for the night for various reasons."
Mama Qian stretched out her hand and took a sip of hot tea to moisten her throat before she continued: "You must know that women sometimes have very keen feelings, and your grandma thinks that your grandpa may have someone outside, so she sent someone to follow your grandpa." Only after this investigation did he know that he really had a woman outside, and at that time, the Wei family already had your grandfather's flesh and blood in his womb, so he waited for him to land on the ground, and then carried her into the door as a concubine. ”
Lu Shuyi's lips closed in shock, and the hand in her sleeve tightened again.
Mama Qian said: "Your grandmother didn't quarrel with your grandfather after learning about this, let alone mention it to anyone, and asked everyone who knew about it to keep their mouths shut and not be allowed to mention it to the outside world." ”
"Until one day, your grandmother went to see Wei in person."
"That Wei is just a small girl, and when she saw your grandmother, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do, and she even knelt down to ask for forgiveness for your grandmother in public."
"Not only did your grandmother not scold, but instead gave the Wei family a few sets of gold and silver heads, a few fine clothes, and a silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver."
Mama Qian sighed when she said this, shook her head and said, "Speaking of which, the Wei family is too simple after all, and she doesn't understand what kind of person she is facing at all, but regards your grandmother as a confidant." ”
"Your grandmother put down the silver ticket, and told the Wei family not to tell your grandfather about it, saying that she didn't want your grandfather to be grateful to her, and the Wei family actually believed it. Your grandmother also promised that when the Wei family gave birth to a child, she would immediately carry her into the door as a concubine. ”
"Wei is naturally grateful to Dade."
Mama Qian's expression suddenly sank, and she said with some sadness: "But the Wei family never expected that it was also this ten thousand taels of silver that ruined the lives of more than a dozen members of their Wei family. ”
Lu Shuyi's blood was cold, and she clenched her fists and said, "All dead?" Could it be...... Did my grandmother do it? ”
Mama Qian exhaled a long breath and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's your grandmother." (To be continued.) )
