Chapter 21: The Caravan Departs
"What did you say?!"
Yang suddenly turned to look at Lu Yunqing, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
"Mother is angry."
Lu Yunqing's expression was obedient, but she was not half cowardly, "The daughter is just proposing, why should the mother be angry?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jinzhu and Lu Yuanhai, who were standing at the back of the team, both had numb scalps.
Lu Yunqing actually dared to contradict her mother, she was too bold, she was really not afraid that her mother would be angry and lower her punishment?
Lu Jinzhu thought so, but found that the Yang family was not angry, but strangely calmed down his anger instantly, and explained in a calm tone:
"Angry, when did your mother get angry? I just felt that it was inappropriate, and I punished my subordinates with whips in public, and my Lu family was afraid that I would end up with a reputation for treating people harshly. ”
When Lu Yunqing heard this, the corners of his lips slightly curled.
The Yang family is usually thoughtful, but her mentality is unbalanced, but she is very secret, ignoring that her attitude has changed too quickly, and the juniors can't see anything, but those old and refined clan elders ......
Sure enough, several clan elders at the back of the team immediately showed meaningful expressions.
"Yang's reaction seems to be quite big."
"There seems to be some difference between this on-the-spot execution and private execution, hehe."
Yang Shi heard the whispered talk behind him, his face changed slightly, the drunkard didn't mean to drink, Lu Yunqing deliberately provoked her, this little slut......
"Okay, let's not say a word."
The old lady finally spoke, and the scene was suddenly quiet.
"Yun Qing's girl, does she mean to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys? However, today is a ceremony, and it is not easy to see blood in person, so forget about it. ”
Lu Yunqing bowed his head when he heard this, "Follow my grandfather's orders." ”
"Well, it's best if you can read the general situation."
The old lady's cloudy eyes flashed with appreciation, and then his eyes fell on Yang, and the old face sank instantly: "Yang, do you know what's wrong?" ”
"The daughter-in-law knows it's wrong."
Yang didn't have the slightest intention of refutating, and directly admitted his mistake with low eyebrows: "In the future, my daughter-in-law will definitely discipline her subordinates well, and she will never repeat the mistakes of the past." ”
"That's pretty much it."
The old lady brushed her beard, extinguished her anger, and turned to Lu Yunqing again: "Three girls, after you go back, order someone to investigate the yard carefully, if there is any loss, report it to the account room as soon as possible, if there is no major mistake, this matter will end here." ”
"My granddaughter will take care of it."
Lu Yunqing bowed her head slightly, she knew that this would be the result, and her response was very calm. Seeing her such a pampered and unfazed attitude, the old lady appreciated it more and more in his heart, and the corresponding perception of the Yang family dropped by one point.
Thinking of this, the old lady turned his head to look at Mama Wang and the others who were kneeling on the ground, and his expression became cold: "You rebellious evil slaves, you dare to raid the master's house, it's simply lawless!"
If an ordinary person had made such a mistake, he would have been beaten back and thrown out to fend for himself!
This thought has served my Lu family for many years, and it is the first offense, the three girls are generous, and they don't care about you. But living sins can be avoided, and capital sins cannot be escaped!
Mama Wang was the main offender and was sentenced to forty lashes, and the rest of the mammas were accomplices and were sentenced to twenty lashes. As for the merit of the Aliang Nursing Home, the reward is three silver. Steward Lin, do so. ”
"Yes, sir."
The old housekeeper responded, and Ah Liang hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
Mama Wang's face turned pale, and she also trembled and kowtowed: "Thank you, old lady...... The grace of light punishment! ”
"Alright, let's all disperse."
The old lady waved his hand, and everyone looked different and dispersed.
Yang glanced at Mama Wang and the others who were kneeling on the ground, their eyes changed for a moment, they didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
"These days have been a real event."
Lin stared at Yang's departure, and deliberately raised his tone, "It's a good sign, how do I think Yuanqing wants to take a high school in the county exam this time!" ”
Seeing that Yang's steps were getting faster, Lin almost laughed, and he didn't care that Lu Yunqing and Lu Yuanyan were still there, and left happily humming a song.
Mama Wang and the others were quickly escorted down by the old housekeeper's people, and it seemed that the whipping should have no chance to cheat.
After everyone else left, Lu Yuanyan immediately went over and pulled Ah Liang up, looked at the swollen half of his old face, and couldn't help asking, "Ah Liang, does it hurt?" ”
"Young master, Ah Liang doesn't hurt."
Ah Liang smiled and showed two little tiger teeth, and said, "As long as you can save Sister Dingchun, what is this pain?" Besides, the third lady has already recovered the debt of this slap for me, and I am not wronged at all. ”
"Alright, you two."
Lu Yunqing smiled slightly, stopping the two from continuing to talk, "There are many people here, let's talk about it when we go back." ”
After a while, the three of them returned to Splendid Temple.
Lu Yunqing left Ah Liang to take care of Dingchun, and by the way, he stared at Dong'er, who had returned to the courtyard, and then came to the main house with Yuan Yan.
"Sister, your yard is so beautiful, even better than your grandmother's."
Lu Yuanyan ran to the window and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the house, "If only I could live here with my sister." ”
Lu Yunqing sat at the table and poured tea, and when he heard this, his movements in his hands suddenly froze, and he said solemnly: "Yuan Yan, you are not allowed to say such things in the future, if your grandmother hears it......"
Lu Yunqing didn't continue, but Lu Yuanyan had already understood, and immediately covered his mouth, his face turned slightly pale.
Seeing this, Lu Yunqing's expression was slightly softened, he took Yuan Yan's hand and said, "Do you remember what my sister said?" ”
"Hmm!"
Lu Yuanyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
My sister said two days ago that she wanted to get back everything they should have, and he thought that it would take a long time to change it to do such a thing.
Who knew that in just a few days, my sister not only got back the identity of Miss Yan and had a courtyard that was even more luxurious than Lu Jinzhu, but also helped her mother to correct her name and enter the ancestral hall. What was supposed to be a wish that could only be thought about in a dream has become a reality.
At this moment, Lu Yunqing's image in his mind has undergone earth-shaking changes. has changed from a weak sister who needs him to maintain everywhere to a figure he can rely on and even admire.
"Sister, you're really amazing!"
Lu Yuanyan gave a thumbs up, and did not hesitate to praise himself, "Mother was angry just now, Lu Jinzhu was trembling slightly, sister, you can actually fight against her." It's even more powerful than the big generals in the storyteller's mouth! ”
Lu Yunqing saw Lu Yuanyan's deliberately exaggerated appearance, his cold face flashed a trace of gentleness, and then asked about his younger brother's daily life.
The two sisters and brothers chatted for a long time, until the old lady's grandmother outside the hospital urged, and Lu Yuanyan left.
The courtyard returned to silence, Lu Yunqing fiddled with the cup in his hand, and his eyes flashed with gloomy meaning.
In the past few days, she was unintentional and unintentional, and the Yang family was caught off guard, but she couldn't be happy.
Her foundation is too thin after all.
As a human being in two lives, she deeply understands how selfish and mean this family is, don't look at her now that she has a correct identity, eats well and lives well, it seems that she has won the favor of the old lady.
But what the old lady values has never been her, but how much benefit she can bring to the Lu family.
If she loses her use value, the old lady will immediately abandon her like a shoe, and she won't even look at it again.
Speaking of which, her foundation is too thin after all, which is why she did not expose the true face of the Yang family.
Conniving at subordinates to kill people is serious to say. But the Dingchun that Mama Wang wants to get rid of is a subordinate after all.
The life of a subordinate is really like a mustard, and the wind and waves set off are too small, at most it makes Yang's reputation more ugly, and it can't make her break her bones at all.
If she completely tore her face with Yang on the basis of this matter, she would be at an absolute disadvantage at that time, and the advantage that she had worked so hard to build for several days of rebirth would be dissipated in an instant.
So, be patient.
Lu Yunqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a chill swept over him.
This kind of patience will not last long.
……
Early the next morning, a convoy of horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of Lu's pharmacy.
The old butler stood beside the convoy, staring at the sun that had just risen with a pair of old eyes full of vicissitudes, and his calm old face had a hint of depth, which made people unable to see through his thoughts.
After a while, a servant came running and said, "Old butler, you have counted everything, and the quantity is good." ”
"Hmm."
The old butler nodded, "Then let's go, the people of the new dart line have arrived?" ”
"It's been there a long time ago."
The old butler's eyes flashed, "That's good, let's go." ”
Although what Lu Yunqing said is not true or false, but... Rather believe it than believe it, he has been prepared, not only changed a dart shop to escort the caravan, but also asked the new dart shop to send more people.
Before leaving, Yang finally came out to see him off and said: "This trip to Wuzhou Mountain is far away, don't be careful." ”
These words seemed to be ordinary advice, but in the ears of the old butler, who had been on guard for a long time, he heard another meaning.
His eyelids jumped, but he didn't show anything unusual, and still smiled: "Thank you Madame for your concern, the old slave will set off." ”
After seeing the caravan leave, the kind smile on Yang's face immediately disappeared.
"This old thing is moving a lot today, could it be that he has discovered something?"
No way! Her deal with that side is top secret, and no one in the entire Lu family knows about it, so how could Steward Lin find out the clues?
Thinking of this, Yang's eyes flashed, and he turned around and went back to the house.
What if it is discovered? She has been planning hard for nearly a year, and with that little bit of three-legged cat kung fu, that old thing doesn't want to come back alive!
"The caravan has departed?"
At the same time, Lu Yunqing, who was far away in the Splendid Courtyard, received a report from Ah Liang, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and he immediately got up and went out.
Seeing this, Hou Dong'er in front of the door hurriedly bowed his head and followed.
After a while, Lu Yunqing stopped in front of a delicate small courtyard, and Dong'er followed all the way, looking more and more suspicious.
This is the courtyard of the eldest girl, Lu Jinzhi, why did she come here?
Without waiting to think about it, Dong'er saw that Lu Yunqing didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and directly pushed the door in, shouting with a bright smile: "Eldest sister, Yunqing has come to see you." ”
Lu Jinzhi, who was embroidering in the house, heard this sound and almost poked a needle in the flesh of his fingers.
She looked up in astonishment and saw the rapidly approaching figure outside the house, looking dazed.
What is Lu Yunqing looking for her for?
