Chapter 12: Hatred
"It was arranged by Aunt Bai. After all, the eldest young master is not good at meddling in these matters. The slave knows some medical skills, and it doesn't hurt anymore. ”
After listening to this, Lu Xihe had a number in his heart.
"Aunt Bai is Aunt Bai. Rest well, and don't wait for these days. What Lu Xihe thought in his heart was that Aunt Bai seemed to be easy to get along with, but in fact she was more troublesome than Aunt Liang.
Aunt Bai's mother's family is prominent, and it is not comparable to Aunt Liang's kind of businessman's family.
Qiulan coughed and said in a low voice, "It's really fine." Miss, Xing'er is back. ”
Lu Xihe said happily: "Let her come quickly." ”
A girl in black appeared instantly, "Miss." ”
"How's that going?"
Xing'er nodded, "The evidence of corruption and malfeasance has been mastered, and now it has been presented to His Majesty." ”
Lu Xihe was slightly surprised, "Why is it so fast?" ”
"I don't know who is doing this behind the scenes, so this matter will get twice the result with half the effort." Xing'er said honestly.
"Do you know who it is?"
"The subordinates are still investigating, but the person seems to be extremely secretive and has no clues."
Lu Xihe fell into deep thought, could it be the enemy of the Liang family or the Ministry of Works, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge?
"Keep looking, be careful." Lu Xihe waved his hand gently, and Xing'er disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lu Xihe looked enviously at the direction she left, "Sometimes, I envy her." If I had been half as good as hers, I wouldn't have come to this point. ”
"Miss is knowledgeable, even if she can't continue to learn martial arts, her future is also limitless."
Qiulan comforted.
Lu Xihe smiled, undeniable.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Xihe's injuries have almost healed.
"I heard that Aunt Liang's maiden house was raided and all her property was confiscated."
"It is said that it was the collusion of officials and businessmen, cutting corners when building the canal, and hundreds of lives were lost, and the Son of Heaven was angry, and many people were implicated."
Aunt Bai and Aunt Ye chatted with each other, and the two women sat together calmly for the first time.
"That Aunt Liang is still restless in the temple, crying and trying to see the third girl. The people in the temple thought she was disturbing her purity and sent her to the nunnery. ”
Aunt Bai has been pressed by Aunt Liang for so many years, and now she finally raises her eyebrows.
Aunt Ye said: "The master said that the marriage of the three girls is scheduled after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the three girls can be married with peace of mind." ”
"The old man didn't mention her, it can be seen that he really lost the master's heart." Aunt Bai took a sip of tea, was in a good mood, and even felt that the tea tasted a lot better.
"I see that the spirit of the third girl is good, and I think I got what I wanted, and finally married into the high gate." Aunt Ye seemed to have a faint sorrow between her eyebrows, "I don't know what kind of Langjun my Zhen'er will find in the future." ”
"The sixth girl is still young, what are you anxious about. After the master returns to Beijing, isn't there enough young talent in the capital for you to choose? Speaking of which, I remembered that the fourth and fifth girls in the family were about the same age, and it was time to find a good family. I made a decision early, and I also had a matter on my mind early. ”
Aunt Bai has a lot of people in her heart, no, those people are not worthy of her daughter at all. Her white jade daughter can't marry casually.
Aunt Ye sighed, "The fourth girl is okay, the fifth girl is a very good idea, she was not close to us when she was a child, and she was even more alienated when she grew up, so how can it be good to marry someone in the future." ”
After hearing this, Aunt Bai also muttered in her heart, Lu Xihe is not her own child after all, even if she treats her well sincerely, what can she do? After all, it's still an immature wolf.
This child grew up by herself since she was a child, and when Aunt Liang was there, she always wanted to raise her to waste, but she was a powerful one. After so many years, it's still fine.
Her attitude towards Wan'er is not good, if she marries a good family in the future, won't she look down on Wan'er and herself even more? If she is looking for trouble, won't Wan'er have another enemy?
Thinking of this, Aunt Bai suddenly brightened. "My sister is also reasonable, but the fifth girl's surname is Lu. Even if you have great ability, you can't turn over the palm of your hand. ”
Aunt Ye smiled lightly, "What my sister said is true." Now the children have grown up and are becoming more and more promising. We can finally catch our breath and get some rest. ”
Aunt Bai laughed in her heart that she had no ambition, and when the child grew up, she wanted to be stable, wouldn't she help plan a good future for the child? Even if it is a daughter, she must also think about finding a good husband in the future. But Aunt Bai was too lazy to wake her up, and she couldn't ask for one less rival.
"Tomorrow there will be a banquet in the Gao Mansion, so you can go with you." Aunt Bai took out a golden hairpin from the box and put it in her hand, "It's a good thing to be diligent and thrifty, but when you go out, you can't let others see the jokes of the Lu Mansion." ”
Aunt Ye smiled awkwardly, "Yes, my sister wrote it down." It's just that my sister is not feeling well, and I am afraid that I will not be able to go tomorrow. ”
"Your body is important, so you can rest at home." Aunt Bai said.
When she came out of Aunt Bai's residence, Aunt Ye was relieved and took a deep breath.
Seeing this, the mother-in-law supported her, "Is my aunt uncomfortable?" ”
Aunt Ye stroked her chest with her hand, and suddenly looked up at the sky.
"You see, I've been in the house for a long time, and even the sky is boxy."
The mother-in-law didn't know what she was talking about, so she persuaded: "Miss Sixth can't eat anymore, auntie go and take a look." ”
Aunt Ye lowered her head and walked towards the small courtyard with broken steps.
Lu Xihe cut flower branches in Xuanji Courtyard, and the sun hit the side face, gentle and quiet.
"Miss, the fourth lady is here."
In the days when she was recuperating, Lu Rongwan came to see her every day, and said some words to persuade her from time to time, Lu Xihe didn't understand, but she didn't want to forgive these people, so she pretended not to understand at all.
"Is the fifth sister better? I brought you your favorite chestnut cake, come and try it, it's made by your favorite shop. ”
Lu Xihe tilted his head slightly, and saw a cold woman talking to her with a smile on her face.
"The fourth sister is here, why don't you go to see the guests?"
Lu Rongwan's face changed, "My aunt wants to give me a matchmaker's house, I don't want to see it." ”
Lu Xihe smiled lightly: "It's the son of the Zhennan Palace, right?" ”
Lu Rongwan's face flew with two suspicious flushes, "Exactly." ”
"Don't you like the fourth sister?" Lu Xihe finished cutting the flower branches and washed his hands in the pot.
The handkerchief she used was embroidered with the pattern of a hosta flower.
Lu Rongwan hesitated: "I haven't had any contact with him, I don't know what kind of person he is." Just look at the appearance and family background, how do you know if you like it? ”
"If you feel upset at first sight, you don't like it."
Lu Rongwan said again: "I'm not upset, but I always feel that something is missing." ”
Lu Xihe glanced at her, "When did the fourth sister think that I was a person who could talk to you?" ”
Qiu Lan was silent, her own young lady, she really didn't care about the feelings of the fourth lady when she spoke and did things.
"Fifth sister, I'm just... I just want to be closer to you. Lu Rongwan stepped forward, grabbed her sleeve and said, "Fifth sister, one day I will remember, you have such an attitude towards me now, aren't you afraid that I won't tell you?" ”
Lu Xihe sneered, "Fourth sister is threatening me? ”
"Do you think that there is a big brother in the family to support you, so you are not afraid of heaven and earth? Why are you just disobedient! Lu Rongwan grabbed her wrist tightly, and her wrist quickly turned red.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiulan hurriedly went up and wanted to pull Lu Rongwan away.
Who would have thought that Lu Rongwan had great strength, and Qiulan was knocked to the ground.
"Fourth sister, you're going to make me angry." Lu Xihe looked at Lu Rongwan's face calmly, the two looked at each other for a moment, Lu Rongwan was defeated, let go of his hand and said, "Ruan Ruan, what do you want me to do to you?" Do you want me to get down on my knees and beg you? ”
Lu Xihe looked at his red wrist, "Fourth sister, you must have backbone behind the door, and if you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility, what I want is very simple, kill people to pay for your life, and pay for blood debts." ”
Lu Rongwan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You... When did you become like this..."
Lu Xihe whispered in her ear: "Fourth sister, tell you a secret, I will tell fortunes." This morning I calculated Aunt Liang's fate, she has a catastrophe, calculate the time, today is her last day. ”
Lu Rongwan didn't believe it.
The next day, news came from Yunshan Temple, saying that the aunt of the Liang family was found hanging in Qing Xiu's house early in the morning. There is no trace of someone else breaking in, the room is neat and clean, and it should have been hanged.
Lu Jingshu cried for a long time, and Lu Jing finally agreed to let her go to see Aunt Liang for the last time.
Aunt Bai felt that it was inappropriate, a guilty abandoned woman, even if she died, she did not deserve to be decent.
"Master, the third girl is about to get married..."
Lu Jing waved his hand, "It's okay." The general's family doesn't care about these vanities. Go ahead, and I'll send some men to escort you. ”
Lu Jingshu's eyes were red from crying, and she thanked her father and hurriedly got into the carriage.
When she arrived all the way, Aunt Liang's body was already hard. She was covered with a white cloth, and her chest that should have heaved was as still as stagnant water.
"Mother!" Lu Jingshu threw herself on her, regardless of her image, and burst into tears.
"Miss be cautious!" Seeing this, the mother-in-law hurriedly covered her mouth.
Lu Jingshu whimpered with something in her mouth, and hated the Lu family in her heart. Why! Just because my mother is a concubine, she has worked hard for the family for many years and ended up like this! The death is unknown, but my father doesn't even want to look at it!
On her last journey, her father was reluctant to send her off! What a merciless man this is! Lu Jingshu thought of Xu Qian and regarded these two people as first-class people.
She hates it!
The source of all this is Lu Xihe!
If she had died sooner, none of this would have happened! She wasn't supposed to exist in the first place!
Lu Jingshu secretly made up her mind, as long as she lived for one day, she would never let Lu Xihe go!
She wants to see Lu Xihe's miserable day with her own eyes!
Lu Jingshu suddenly laughed when she thought of this. Crying and laughing, as if he was crazy.
The mother-in-law next to her thought she was too sad, so she picked her up and left, and stayed in the next room.
The Lu family fell into a strange atmosphere for a while.
