Aunt Ye was busy wiping her tears, "Fifth girl, your body is too weak, you have to take care of it." Now, Sister Bai is in charge of the house, and life will not be as sad as before. Relax. ”

"I have been taken care of by my aunt for many years, don't worry, I will take good care of myself." Lu Xihe soothed her and said.

Aunt Ye accompanied her for a while, and left in a hurry because her child needed to be taken care of.

"It's a different day, is it going to rain?" Qiulan muttered as she brought in a stove from outside.

"What is this?" It was early autumn, and although the weather was cold, it was not enough to use a stove.

Qiulan smiled: "Miss, you were frightened, but you can't stand the cold, the slave went to the chief to ask for it, and the chief manager sent this best stove." ”

Lu Xihe's eyes changed slightly, and then he smiled: "Then you don't send a thank you gift to the manager, people will respond to your needs..."

"Miss!" Qiulan's face was slightly red, and she stammered: "Miss is really annoying, it's funny to take the slave maid." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll stop talking."

Lu Xihe sat quietly on the beauty couch, looking out the window and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss, the eldest young master sent someone to spread the word that he is busy with official business today, and he will come to see you later."

Lu Xihe was silent, and there was a faint sadness in his always smart eyes.

"Tell my eldest brother that I went to bed early and don't have to come."

"Yes."

"Wait, if anyone comes, say I'm resting." Lu Xihe advised.

Qiulan responded and replaced the hosta flowers in the vase with new ones, "Miss likes hosta flowers, every kind of good, the flower farmer always sends it to Miss first." ”

"After the banquet of Yaochi's mother's house, the tender frightened flew into the purple cloud car. The hosta landed and no one picked it up, turning into the first flower in the south of the Yangtze River. She said lightly, her fingertips lightly touching the scroll on the couch, "It is rumored that the hosta flower is the hairpin of the heavenly fairy, which originally belonged to the sky, but fell into the soil. ”

Qiulan stepped forward and took her book away, "Miss, take a good rest during this time, don't waste your mind any more, even if you want to punish the slave maid, the slave maid will stop you." Pothos, put away Miss's book, when Miss is well, when will Miss read it again. ”

Pothos walked in from outside the door with her head down and loaded the books on the desk one by one.

"You're in charge of me, aren't you afraid I'll punish you?" Lu Xihe was angry and laughed.

"Miss, if you really can't be idle, the slaves and maids will try to make Miss happy." Qiulan said sincerely, Lu Xihe didn't want to worry about such a trivial matter with her, so he went with her.

When night fell, a few clusters of flames flashed in front of Lu Xihe's window, and there were muffled thunders in the sky, and by the way, the "crackling" lightning was like a silver snake, opening its teeth and dancing its claws, as if it was going to devour everything on the ground.

Qiulan closed the doors and windows and replaced them with new candles.

"Miss, it's raining outside, let's rest early." She persuaded gently.

Lu Xihe looked out the window, "It's okay, it's good to fall asleep with the thunder." ”

She changed into her bedclothes, and the light silk was as smooth as water. Qiulan saw her get into the bed, put down the curtain beside the bed, and cut the firelight.

The breathing of the person on the bed gradually stabilized, Qiulan's hanging heart relaxed, the smell in the room seemed to be very sweet, and she gradually fell asleep.

In the middle of the night

"Brother!" The girl suddenly woke up from her dream, her beautiful eyes suddenly lost, she trembled, tears rolled in her eyes.

"Don't you leave me..."She hugged herself and muttered, "Mother, why don't you want me anymore..."

Lu Xihe got out of bed and put on a cloak.

When the thunderstorm and the cold wind hit people, she opened her umbrella and walked alone on the bluestone road.

The raindrops splashed up the dust, and the girl continued as if she didn't notice it.

The Buddhist hall is in the most remote part of the house, and she doesn't know how long she walked, and finally arrived at the door of the Buddhist hall.

Lu Xihe stared at the vermilion door in a daze, as if it was because of the cold, her lips began to turn white.

"Who's there?"

An old woman's voice came, and she took a step forward with a lantern, and when she saw that it was Lu Xihe, she exclaimed: "It's so late, why did the fifth lady come alone?" Come here, it's cold outside. ”

When the old lady saw Lu Xihe standing there, she didn't move, she didn't speak, and she muttered in her heart.

It is not the first time that Miss Fifth has come to find Madame.

But Madame never saw her. Even if he came, he just said a few words through the door.

"Madame has rested, Miss Fifth will come back tomorrow." The old lady said ruthlessly.

"Mama Xu, I have something to ask her." Lu Xihe walked to the bottom of the corridor, and Mama Xu took the umbrella in her hand, "Since the fifth lady insists on coming, then let's come with the old man." ”

Mama Xu led the way in front, and Lu Xihe's thin figure disappeared into the corridor.

"Madam, the fifth lady is here." Mama Xu reported outside the door.

There was a rustling sound in the door, and the footsteps were getting closer.

"What are you going to do?" A cold female voice came.

Mama Xu retreated with interest.

Lu Xihe's eyes turned red for a moment, and there was a slight tremor in his voice, "Auntie." ”

The man in the door was silent for a moment, "If it's okay, don't come and disturb me." ”

"A-Niang, tell me the truth."

"Let's go back if there's nothing to do." The female voice is still cold, and she can't hear any emotional ups and downs.

"Do you know what I just dreamed about? I dreamed of my brother again, he was smiling and laughing, and suddenly he was covered in blood, and he asked me why I was leaving... A-Niang, you must know the truth, right? You must know the murderer, right..."

"What you shouldn't be in charge of, don't care." The female voice replied.

Lu Xihe leaned against the door, "I've grown up, I can avenge my brother." As long as you tell him who that person is, I will not let him go!"

"Do you want to know who the murderer is? Let me tell you, there are no murderers, the truth is that your brother fell into the water and was killed by no one to save him. ”

"It's not like that, Fourth Sister she knows the truth, she just can't remember it now, one day, she will remember everything. At that point, no one will want to escape. Her voice grew cold.

"It's your business, it's none of my business."

When Lu Xihe heard this, his heart was unbearable, "Since I have nothing to do with you, why did you send someone to protect me, why didn't you let me just die?" ”

"As I said, this is my last duty to you. You don't have anything to do with me anymore. What to do with those people is your business. You should go, don't disturb the purity of Buddhism. The man in the door seemed to walk away.

"It doesn't matter at all..."Lu Xihe repeated this sentence and staggered out.

Her clothes were soaked with heavy rain, and her wet hair was dripping with rain.

When Mama Xu saw her, she had already walked far away, Mama Xu looked at the umbrella on the ground, and then looked at the stubborn figure, sighing and sighing.

"She's gone?"

"Gone."

The vermilion door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman raised her head and looked in the direction Lu Xihe left.

"My child," she murmured, leaning against the door.

After Lu Yiran finished handling his official duties, he hurried all the way back to the Lu Mansion.

He knew that Lu Xihe's reply was just to be angry with the child, but after thinking about it, she really needed to recuperate, and she was afraid that it would disturb her.

He hesitated for a long time, but his footsteps involuntarily walked towards Lu Xihe's courtyard.

As he walked by the pool, lightning and thunder, he suddenly saw a thin figure.

"Nguyen Nguyen..."

Lu Xihe was in a daze, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and his mind was full of the words: I have nothing to do with you...

Lu Yiran hurriedly walked over to catch her, untied his coat and covered her, his eyes were full of distress.

He touched her forehead, which burned badly.

Her injuries haven't healed yet, and now it's raining again, how can her body stand it?

At this moment, he hated that he couldn't stay by her side and take care of her all the time.

"Go and invite Langzhong, quick!" There was only one little guy next to Lu Yiran, and he ordered the only little guy, he hugged Lu Xihe and went back to the yard very quickly, Qiulan was awakened by the sound, and when she saw Lu Yiran holding Miss, she suddenly woke up.

"Young Master, Miss..."

Lu Yiran had a cold face, "Go get a set of clothes." ”

Qiulan saw that the face of the person in her arms was pale, and she said yes repeatedly, and hurriedly went to get her clothes.

Lu Yiran felt that something was wrong as soon as she entered the house, her room had always had a faint fragrance of flowers, but today there was a sweet fragrance.

He saw the stove in the middle of the room, and his eyes darkened.

Qiulan took her clothes and came over, "Young Master, please move to the outer pavilion." ”

He nodded, his clothes drenched. A little maid brought him new clothes and led him to the side hall.

"Get out." Lu Yiran's face was the same as before, and it was frighteningly cold.

The little maid saluted and hurriedly withdrew.

He changed his clothes and hurried to the door to wait.

"Young master, Lang Zhong is here."

"The eldest young master can come in." Qiulan opened the door and said, "Thank you for finding Miss, otherwise..."

"Why didn't you people notice when Miss went out?"

Lu Yiran sat on the main seat, his eyes swept around the people in the room, and the maids were frightened and knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"The slaves and maids usually sleep lightly, but now they don't know why, their eyelids are heavy, and they sink when they sleep. The eldest young master forgives his sins! Qiulan is a big girl, and she replied with her head in front.

"Drag them all out, twenty boards for one person." His indifferent voice came, and the maids trembled, "The eldest young master forgives the sins!" ”

"What are you doing in a daze?" Lu Yiran waved his hand impatiently.

A couple of servants stepped forward and drove a room full of maidservants out.

"Why are you so stupid..."Lu Yiran sat on the edge of the bed, his eyebrows and eyes were lonely, "They don't want you, I want to..."

The sound of the maidservants crying in the courtyard continued, and the sound of the board hitting the body mixed with the rain, playing the sad music in the courtyard.

Lu Yiran's expression became cold, "Ji has no life, send someone to present the evidence of the Ministry of Industry's corruption and dereliction of duty." The Liang family can't stay. ”

A person appeared out of thin air outside the house, whispered in response, and disappeared without a trace.

Lu Xihe seemed to have had a dream, and when he woke up in the morning, he suddenly became bright.

Since it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

Qiulan served her after washing up and had breakfast.

"Did Miss sleep well yesterday?"

Lu Xihe shook his head, "It's not good." I always feel like something is going on. ”

Qiulan smiled in a low voice, "Miss, I'll be healed in a few days, and I'm going to go to the school." ”

"It's been a few days since I went." Lu Xihe thought of the group of people in the school, and suddenly one head and two big.

"If the old master is more reasonable, he doesn't always reprimand Miss, Miss may be happy to go to the school, which is better than being stuffy in the house." Qiulan combed her hair.

"The old master has always disliked me, and he can find fault with whatever I do. I figured that if he was still like that, I wouldn't go. Lu Xihe said.

"That's what Miss said. You are a concubine, why suffer from this anger. Qiulan chimed in.

"That being said, what the old master said is quite useful, and he can barely listen to it." Lu Xihe said that he would rest on the beauty couch.

A servant girl came in and added tea.

"Today these people are looking at life." Lu Xihe said.

"Miss, you were drenched in the rain last night, and the eldest young master happened to know, so he slapped those incompetent servants together and sold them." Qiulan explained.

"And this? Who arranged these people? You were also beaten? Lu Xihe said dissatisfied.
