A girl dressed in black flew in from outside, her face covered with a black veil.

"Master."

The girl half-knelt down, "That prince sent someone to escort those thieves to the official mansion, and on the way, we disposed of them." Along with the escorts, they were also dealt with. ”

"Not bad. Was that arranged? Lu Xihe's mind flashed Aunt Liang's hateful face.

Lu Xihe knows that Aunt Liang has always disliked herself, and she has been targeting her since she was a child, and she will never let her feel better if she can't get better.

After this incident, Aunt Liang will treat herself as a thorn in the flesh and want to kill herself.

Very good, Aunt Liang, the more you try to get rid of me, the more you will expose your weaknesses. We'll see.

Lu Xihe chuckled, just an Aunt Liang, how can she stand her?

The girl in black said, "It has already been arranged." ”

"Go down."

The girl in black saluted when she heard this, and then disappeared.

Qiulan came in with tea, and when she saw her expression, she was worried.

"Qiulan, how is the situation of the third sister?"

Lu Xihe sat on the chair and drank tea leisurely, as if asking an irrelevant person.

"The third lady caught a cold and was frightened, but now she can't get out of bed, and she boiled a lot of medicine and hung it."

"The third sister is really pitiful, so dignified, why did she fall into the water?"

Lu Xihe's tone was both regretful and puzzled, and his eyes were pure like a child who didn't understand the world.

Qiulan was embarrassed, and took her words, "It may be that the shore is slippery, and the third lady didn't pay attention..."

"Probably."

Lu Xihe and Qiulan were talking, and a maid ran to the door and shouted, "Miss, the master wants to see you." ”

Lu Xihe had long expected that the mother and daughter would sue, and smiled slightly, "The show is about to start." ”

Qiulan's face was solemn, is Miss going to act for others again?

Lu Xihe came to the study, her father Lu Jing was sitting on the upper seat, and Aunt Liang was standing next to her, her eyes swollen like walnuts.

In fact, although Aunt Liang is a merchant girl, she looks noble, and she thinks she is the daughter of a big family.

Lu Jing is less than forty years old, nine feet tall, handsome and full of masculinity.

He was originally a hussar general, but because he was framed by someone and angered Long Yan, he was demoted to the governor of the heavenly capital.

His first wife was the first emperor's favorite princess Lanling. It's a pity that Princess Lanling is weak, and after giving birth to the eldest young master, Lu Yiran, she died.

's second wife is Lu Xihe's biological mother Cao Wenyin. Cao Wenyin's father is the youngest daughter of Cao Qi, the secretary of the current imperial court's Ministry of Rites.

The current housewife of the Lu family, because of the accidental death of her son eight years ago, retired to the Buddhist hall and ignored no one.

Lu Xihe hasn't seen her a few times since she was four years old, and when she goes to see her during the New Year's holidays, she also speaks coldly. Over time, Lu Xihe and her became more and more unfamiliar. By now, feelings are almost zero.

When Lu Jing saw Lu Xihe coming in, he was entangled in his heart, Aunt Liang came to sue early in the morning, saying that Xihe had harmed Jingshu and fell into the water, not to mention the wind and cold, and was ruined, so he had to ask him to give her an explanation.

However, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat...

"What are you doing in the morning?"

Lu Jing was ruthless, calmly faced, and asked sharply.

Lu Xihe seemed to be frightened by his voice, lowered his head and said aggrievedly, "Dad, my daughter is playing with fish in her yard." Dad, what's wrong? ”

When Aunt Liang saw her like this, her nose was crooked. This little hoof knows how to pretend to be pitiful in front of her father!

"How did your third sister fall into the water, do you know?" Lu Jing asked patiently.

Lu Xihe felt very aggrieved, "Dad, as soon as I heard that the third sister fell into the water, I rushed over immediately, how did I know how the third sister fell into the water..."

Lu Jing's heart suddenly softened.

"Nonsense! It's clear that you asked someone to push Shu'er down, and you dare to quibble! Aunt Liang couldn't help but yell.

Lu Xihe's face turned pale, and he took a small step away in fear, "Aunt Liang, don't wronged me." As soon as I heard that the third sister fell into the water, I immediately rushed over, and those mother-in-law guards didn't dare to go down to save the third sister, I jumped down, why do you blame me? Could it be that it is still wrong for me to save the third sister? I don't know what happened to the third sister..."

Lu Xihe said and said that tears fell down "let's click", Aunt Liang was angry, walked over and grabbed her collar, just blocking Lu Jing's sight.

"Pretend! You say, it's not you! Aunt Liang's beautiful face was a little distorted, the corners of Lu Xihe's mouth hooked up a smile, and her eyes were a little provocative, but she didn't speak. Aunt Liang's hands were raised high, and she was about to go down with a slap.

"Stop!" Lu Jing couldn't stand it, drank Aunt Liang away, and looked down, Lu Xihe's little face was pale, and his eyes were full of grievances and fear. He felt his heart be hammered hard.

This is his daughter, why doesn't he even believe in his own daughter? What's more, she's just a child.

"You're not done! I put up with her a few words, do you still want to do it? ”

Lu Jing reprimanded Aunt Liang, where was Aunt Liang willing, "Master, don't be deceived by her!" She's just a poisonous snake and scorpion..."Before Aunt Liang finished speaking, Lu Jing slapped her backhand, "How good are you to scold a child with such unsightly words!" Let me go down, and I won't be allowed to leave the Rose Courtyard for a month! ”

Aunt Liang's face was full of disbelief, "Master? ”

Lu Jing waved his hand impatiently, and a few people came in from outside and dragged her away.

Lu Jing was afraid of face, he wanted to be closer to his daughter but didn't dare to go over, standing in place, his face improved slightly, "You don't want to cause trouble for me." Your eldest sister and second sister are married, and you three sisters are left, get along well, you are a family. ”

When Lu Xihe heard this, he lowered his head and sneered at the corner of his mouth, a family?

"Your mother has been praying for the blessing of the family in the Buddhist hall, it's not that she doesn't want to take care of you, you have to be considerate of her."

Lu Jing was still talking, but Lu Xihe couldn't listen to it, it was ridiculous.

But she still lowered her head and said obediently, "My daughter knows." The daughter doesn't complain at all, the mother has great love, and the daughter will definitely support her. ”

Lu Jing was in a slightly better mood, and the affairs of officialdom had already made him busy. But the family is also not at peace, either this one came to complain, or that one came to cry and cry, he felt a headache when he saw it.

Thinking of Aunt Liang's appearance just now, he was even more dissatisfied in his heart.

She was so virtuous and sensible back then, how did she become like this now!

"It's better for you to worry. Go back and rest. Lu Jing waved his hand and ignored her.

"Yes." Lu Xihe quietly retreated.

Aunt Liang was grounded in a good manner, Lu Jingshu was so worried, but the other aunts were very happy.

They like to see Aunt Liang eat deflated the most, and it is best to make the master completely disgusted with her and never wait to see her!

There was a lot of discussion among the subordinates, estimating when Aunt Liang would gain power again.

Lu Xihe went back to rest for a while, tossing and turning, but he couldn't sleep.

Qiulan reminded: "Miss, next month is Madame's birthday. Is it a congratulatory gift or a peace charm? ”

Lu Xihe still closed his eyes, "Hmm." ”

Qiulan saw that the window was wide open, but she was lying on her stomach on the small collapse, worried that she was suffering from the cold, so she stepped forward and closed the window.

He also said: "Master Mingyin's peace charm is extremely rare. The young lady goes to ask for it every year, and the lady will be very pleased. ”

"She is superstitious about these things, so let them stay with her for the rest of her life." Lu Xihe's voice suddenly turned cold, it's not that he hasn't worked hard, it's just that all the flattery is just useless in the eyes of that person!

Qiulan changed the topic and said, "Miss, I heard that Aunt Liang was grounded for a month, and she was so angry that she was about to go crazy. When she returned to the Rose Courtyard, she began to yell and scream, throwing a bunch of vases and antiques, and the people around her did not dare to approach her, for fear of being punished for themselves. ”

Lu Xihe laughed, "Where is this, she can't stand it?" ”

"Aunt Liang has killed Miss five times, and she deserves it." Qiulan's heart also felt a lot more comfortable, fortunately, the young lady had a big life, otherwise it would have been a long time ago...

"By the way, the eldest young master said that I told you to recuperate and take you out to play another day."

After Qiulan finished speaking, Lu Xihe continued: "Another day? What day is the next day? Tell him I'm not feeling well and don't want to go out lately. ”

Qiulan answered "yes", obviously wanting to persuade her, but she couldn't say the words when they came to her mouth.

Speaking of the eldest young master Lu Yiran, she sincerely admires it. The eldest young master is young, not only is he knowledgeable, both civil and military, but also has a rare stability at this age, and he has already dealt with many difficult cases for the master!

Lu Yiran's biological mother is Princess Lanling, Lu Jing's first wife. She died of illness shortly after giving birth to Lu Yiran, and was sent to her second aunt Bai Yu to be raised. Aunt Bai entered the house a year earlier than Aunt Liang and has never had children. Lu Jing handed over the child to her to raise, and she couldn't ask for it. She wants a child so much, as long as she cultivates this child well, what will she worry about in the future?

Aunt Bai's mother's family is illustrious, and she looks more beautiful than Aunt Liang, and after Lu Yiran was sent to her, her status also rose.

Aunt Liang couldn't get used to her, and she couldn't do anything with her, so she had to secretly bully the fourth aunt Tai Yeyan, who entered the house at the latest. Who knew that within a few years, Mrs. Cao Wenyin gave birth to a son, and Aunt Ye also gave birth to a son. Aunt Liang has only one daughter, and her life is miserable.

Fortunately, Cao Wenyin only gave birth to one daughter, which is the current fifth lady Lu Xihe.

So she could only come to bully the fifth lady who had no protection from Mrs.

Thinking of this, Qiulan sighed, Miss is so good, how can they be willing to hurt her?

Lu Xihe naturally didn't know what Qiulan was thinking.

She disdained these struggles in the house, but if anyone dared to touch her idea, don't blame her for being ruthless.

"By the way, the master asked the young lady to have dinner together at night, maybe he wanted to make up for the young lady." Qiulan passed the words over, but the meaning was not the same as the original.

"Oh?" Lu Xihe was quite surprised by Lu Jing's kindness, "In the past, they would only call me during the New Year's holidays, why did the sun come out of the west today?" ”

She knew that Qiulan would be wrong, and she wanted to make herself happy, so she told her so.

She whispered a few words in Qiulan's ear, and then stopped.
