Chapter 456: Investigate the truth about his mother's death
Now that his daughter has escaped from the palace, the general has been very annoyed in his heart, and his daughter has stabbed such a big basket, and the general probably won't forgive his daughter easily.
At this juncture, the wild boy outside is back, which undoubtedly poses another threat to her daughter's future, and when she thinks of this, the more Li Hongli thinks about it, the more scared she feels.
She couldn't let everything she had painstakingly planned for nearly a lifetime, and in the end, it fell into the hands of a poor boy.
That poor boy is not worthy of her own efforts at all, and she will not let that poor boy inherit the Chu family's family business.
However, Chu Yunfei felt very happy when she learned that her eldest brother was at home, and she deliberately went to the study just to see Feng Lan.
"It's so good, big brother, we're finally reunited!" Chu Yunfei laughed heartlessly.
Feng Lan could only smile helplessly when he saw Chu Yunfei being so happy, in fact, he also knew that his arrival was not welcomed by the Chu family, especially Li Hongli, except for Chu Qingsong, who liked him very much, the other Chu family members probably looked down on him a little.
Some people even think that he just doesn't deserve everything from the Chu family, whether he is the son of the Chu family or not, he is a poor boy, a poor boy who can't be on the stage!
However, now Chu Yunfei's proximity made Feng Lan feel at home, as if they were really brothers and sisters.
And when Chu Yunfei approached Feng Lan, it also made him feel a kind of sincerity, sincerity without any deception, Chu Yunfei really didn't think too much about it.
As for what her mother said, this wild boy from outside will come back and fight for everything she originally had, she felt happy in her heart, originally the Chu family's family business would be handed over to the heir to inherit in the future, if there was no brother, then it would fall on her head alone, Chu Yunfei still felt tired.
"Big brother, you don't have to take those words of my mother to heart, let me tell you, she is like that, you can take her words as a deaf ear."
When Feng Lan heard Chu Yunfei say this, she just smiled, but Chu Yunfei didn't need to ask Feng Lan to know that this time Feng Lan came back, it was estimated that her mother had embarrassed Feng Lan a lot.
With a personality like a mother who is so strong, and who is so intolerant of others, how can a person who is so jealous tolerate his father to bring back the children from outside!
Chu Yunfei was still happy in her heart: "Big brother, don't care what my mother thinks in her heart, you just need to know that my father and I welcome you back, and now that you come back, I feel that I will be much easier, and I don't want to take on this family business in the first place." ”
When Feng Lan heard her say this, she could only smile helplessly.
He is now in the Chu family, in fact, what he wants to do most is to find out the truth about his mother's death back then, but it makes him feel very regretful that the subordinates who knew about it back then seem to have all been dismissed by the Chu family.
Although they were not all dismissed at once, one after another, all of those people were gone, except for a mother-in-law who worked as a maid in the back kitchen.
That mother-in-law is already a little old, fifty or sixty years old, and her brain is a little confused.
I couldn't say anything when I asked her, but she was indeed a servant who had not left the Chu family for so many years, so when asked about Feng Lan's mother, that is, General Chu's original wife Xue Lan, she actually knew.
However, after all, the old man is old, and the whole person is still a little chattering, and his consciousness is a little unconscious.
Therefore, when Feng Lan found this old woman and asked about her mother, the old woman just shook her head.
"I don't know, I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything."
Her current reaction made Feng Lan feel a little strange, "Mother-in-law, but I still didn't ask you who you were about, why did you say you didn't know?" ”
The mother-in-law still shook her head, she looked unkempt, like a madman.
"I don't know, I don't know anything." She kept repeating this sentence, as if she had been threatened and did not dare to tell the truth.
Feng Lan sighed, and then, he put all the pastries he brought over in the backyard of this mother-in-law, who is no longer a maid in the Chu family.
However, the Chu family saw that she was old, so they kept her in the backyard of the house, anyway, there were many empty houses in the back, and this old woman lived in one of the small houses.
No one came to take care of her every day, but she planted a small vegetable garden in the backyard, occasionally came out to bask in the sun, and no one talked to her, it seemed that the Chu family had forgotten the existence of this person.
Feng Lan only learned after many inquiries that the old woman had taken care of her mother, but after her mother died, the old woman was crazy, and it seemed that there was something wrong with her brain, so she stayed in the Chu family later.
However, Feng Lan is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and when he learned that this old man had taken care of his mother back then, he would come over every day for several days to bring some simple snacks to his wife.
Although it was just some simple snacks, it was also his intention, but after Feng Lan came on this day, the old woman looked at her with a wary face.
After watching it for a long time, she suddenly smiled, as if she recognized Feng Lan.
"It's the little young master who is back, if Mrs. Xuelan sees it, the little young master will definitely be very happy."
Mrs. Syranthus?
When Feng Lan heard these four words, he paused slightly to put down the basket in his hand, he knew that this old woman was talking about his mother, and of course he also knew that asking too many questions would stimulate his mother-in-law's memory.
So he couldn't ask, so he could only let the old woman follow her own logic and continue.
"When Mrs. Xuelan was pregnant, her belly was already so big, she was looking forward to the arrival of the little young master every day, she thought, what kind of name should I give the little young master, at that time, Lord Song will often come over."
When the old woman recalled the events of that year, it was as if she was talking to herself, as if she was feeling sad or something.
And the Lord Song she was talking about was Feng Lan's own uncle, who was also Feng Lan's adoptive father, who took Feng Lan to the mountains to live in seclusion.
When the old woman said this, she just sighed heavily, did not continue to speak, and then shook her head, looking a little regretful and a little sentimental.
When Feng Lan saw her reaction, she felt even more puzzled, if something bad hadn't happened back then, why would her mother-in-law sigh?
He smiled and asked, "Mother-in-law, do you know how my mother left back then?" ”
Speaking of this, the old woman looked vigilant again, shook her head, and looked slightly flustered.
"Little master, don't ask, what happened back then has passed. And it's been so many years, and no one will pursue that matter anymore, so let's just forget about her, okay? ”
Feng Lan shook his head, he couldn't forget that person, he was his dearest relative.
