Chapter 211: Hand over Aunt Song
Xiao Ju recuperated for three days, and although the injuries on her body were not very good, she was able to walk on the ground.
Lu Guanlan also waited quietly in the courtyard until the evening of the fourth day, when he finally waited for Lu Jingzhu to come to visit.
Seeing Lu Jingzhu coming, Lu Guanlan was not surprised at all, but just asked Ah Li to add an extra cup of tea.
Lu Jingzhu was a little restrained, came in from outside with low eyebrows, and bowed when he arrived in front of Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan didn't speak, just nodded at Lu Jingzhu and motioned to sit down.
After Lu Jingzhu sat down, he took the tea cup handed by Ah Li, but he didn't put it in his mouth, but put it down on the coffee table on the side.
Then he turned his head to look at Ping'er who came with him, and nodded at Ping'er.
Ping'er understood, and immediately bent her knees slightly towards Lu Guanlan, then turned around and left the room.
Seeing that Lu Guanlan didn't stop her, Ah Li also left one after another. When the house was quiet, only Lu Guanlan and Lu Jingzhu were left.
"Since the second sister is here today, she must have thought it through?" Lu Guanlan took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said slowly.
Lu Jingzhu pursed his lips and looked at Lu Guanlan with complicated eyes.
She had indeed thought it through, and she knew what she was going to give up next.
Although she knew that Lu Bingyan wanted to support her now, Lu Bingyan's heart was not the person she liked.
She is so unwilling, she is unwilling, and she can only be controlled by A-Niang and Lu Bingyan in this life.
In the past, it was Ah Niangfei who forced her to stay away from the Third Highness, but now it is Lu Bingyan who forced her to approach a Second Highness who has no interest in her.
But in her heart, there was only one person from the beginning to the end.
She has her own plans, but if there is no conflict with this deal with Lu Guanlan, then why does she refuse?
She could see that Lu Guanlan had already seen Lu Bingyan clearly, and she had long been disgusted with him. That being the case, why not let Lu Guanlan go to this troubled water by herself, she can just watch from the wall.
Besides, A-Niang has no worries about her life in the hands of Lu Guanlan, as long as her plan is successful, she will compensate A-Niang in the future.
Lu Guanlan saw that Lu Jingzhu's eyes seemed to be shining, and he couldn't help but hook his lips and said with a smile: "Or, does the second sister need some more time to figure it out?" โ
As soon as the words fell, I heard Lu Jingzhu raise his eyes and look at Lu Guanlan solemnly and said, "Okay." โ
Lu Guanlan looked at Lu Jingzhu, but was silent.
Lu Jingzhu continued: "Since the eldest sister wants to make a deal with the younger sister, how dare the younger sister brush off the eldest sister's kindness." โ
"That's it, yes?" Lu Guanlan took another sip of tea and said quietly.
Lu Jingzhu really seemed to have made up his mind, and the light in his eyes became firm, "Tonight, I will ask A-Niang to be sent back to the courtyard of the eldest lady," he said, taking out a key from his sleeve and placing it on the coffee table next to him with the tea cup, "The key will also be returned to the eldest sister." โ
After that, Lu Jingzhu didn't wait for her to speak again, he got up and bowed slightly to her, and then left.
Ping'er was waiting with Ah Li in the courtyard, and when she saw Lu Jingzhu coming out of the house, she hurriedly stepped forward.
Ah Li only owed Lu Jingzhu a debt, and then turned back.
When I entered the house, I saw that on the coffee table where Lu Jingzhu was sitting, the tea in the tea cup was still steaming, and what was placed next to the tea cup was the key to the eldest lady's courtyard that he had asked for from his own young lady before.
"Miss, second miss, is this a promise?" Ah Li picked up the key and put it on the coffee table beside Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan smiled and put down the teacup, "For her, why don't you want such a good thing." โ
Ah Li was stunned when she heard this, "If you want to say that this Aunt Song is also the mother of the second lady, just for the sake of her own future, she doesn't even want her mother?" โ
From this point of view, compared to Aunt Song, these two young ladies are even less human.
Lu Guanlan didn't think about it so much, but Lu Jingzhu was like this.
In fact, for Lu Jingzhu, weighing the pros and cons, he will still feel that there is no harm to himself after all.
Their mother and daughter are actually still a kind of person in essence, and if they really involve their own interests, they will still choose to be selfish.
It's just that Song Yuemei has the heart to be a mother in the end, and she will want to leave a way back for Lu Jingzhu, and would rather give up herself to protect Lu Jingzhu.
But this is not the case with Lu Jingzhu. For the sake of his ridiculous children's affection, abandoning his mother is nothing in Lu Jingzhu's opinion.
At most, it was an expedient measure in Lu Jingzhu's eyes, thinking that it was just to hand over Song Yuemei to her for the time being, thinking that she just wanted to use Song Yuemei to blackmail herself, and it would not cause Song Yuemei any worries about her life.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Jingzhu has been entangled in this pretense for three days, but he really can't help it, and he handed over Song Yuemei and the key to himself so easily today.
It is said that the wicked are the most terrible, but she feels that such hypocrites are the most terrible.
After all, no matter how evil a person is, he is not as heartless as such a person.
"Miss, should we still lock Aunt Song in the courtyard of the eldest lady? Or is it an opportunity to move Aunt Song elsewhere? Ah Li asked suddenly.
Lu Guanlan came back to his senses, thought about it, and said: "You really reminded me, today's mother and daughter parted, thinking that Song Yuemei should also understand her next fate, pretending to be crazy and stupid will not work with me, and putting it in the house or around it is like luring a wolf into the house, it is better to send her out as my good Ah Li said." โ
As he spoke, he summoned the first words.
Chu Yu was watering the flowers in the yard, and when he heard what Lu Guanlan and Ah Li said, he was called in by Lu Guanlan at this time, and naturally knew that this was a new errand.
Lu Guanlan couldn't help but smile when he saw that Chu Yu had been talking for so long, and every time he ordered something, he couldn't help but smile, "If you think that these things I arranged for you are not worthy of your ability, you can go." โ
Although he could hear Lu Guanlan's joking tone, Chu Yu was still a little unhappy in his heart, and said with a cold face: "If it weren't for the fact that you gave a lot of money, I would have found another way out." โ
Lu Guanlan smiled, then approached Chu Yu's ear and ordered a few words carefully.
Chu Yu was a little surprised and asked, "Is that really the case?" โ
Lu Guanlan smiled, "Why not?" โ
When Lu Jingzhu returned to the ink garden, he asked Ping'er to find someone to go to Nixuan Pavilion.
Ping'er seemed a little worried, and said, "Miss, are we really going to hand over our aunt to the eldest lady?" โ
Lu Jingzhu sat down on the chair and took the tea brought by Ping'er, "Since I have given her the key, I want her to know my sincerity." โ
Ping'er said: "Do you remember that night, the eldest lady saidยทยทยทยทยทยท said that my aunt was not crazy. โ
Not crazy? Lu Jingzhu frowned when he heard this.
If she was really not crazy, why did she go to Nixuan Pavilion that night, and A-Niang was still like that.
Why did she mention Lu Guanlan in front of A-Niang, mentioned what Lu Guanlan said with her, and mentioned that Lu Guanlan personally said that she wanted to make a deal with herself, but A-Niang was unmoved.
Originally, she thought that A-Niang was really as Lu Guanlan said, not really crazy, just to not be forced to ask too much in front of Lu Guanlan.
Now she feels that Lu Guanlan was just a temptation that day, and she wanted to know if it was really as she guessed, so she deliberately used this as an excuse to make her believe it and really test A-Niang for Lu Guanlan.
Although she did this, but now she is sure that Ah Niang is indeed delirious.
In this way, it is good that you are not aware of many things if you are not in your senses. And it will be much easier for her to make up for it later.
When night falls, the Nixuan Pavilion is full of silence, without the lights of the past.
"Move quickly, don't delay the hour!"
"It's Mama, but how did the second young lady order us to move people in the middle of the night."
"Let you do things, you will do it, so many mouths carefully pull out your tongue!"
While talking, four or five maids and grandmothers had already arrived at the door of Song Yuemei's room.
Song Yuemei didn't fall asleep, but opened her eyes and quietly stared out the window.
At this time, the door opened, and the leading grandmother came in first, and she did not hold a lamp in her hand, but only carried a lantern.
The four maids who followed closely behind, and one of them also carried a lantern in her hand, so she handed it to the grandmother.
"It's quieter, it's so late, all the girls and ladies in the house are asleep, and if you disturb any of them, you won't be able to stay in this house in the future," said the leading lady with the lantern softly.
The maids should all claim to be so, and then a few of them stepped forward to lift Song Yuemei's quilt.
At this time, I saw Song Yuemei sitting up straight from the bed.
The few maids who originally thought that Song Yuemei had fallen asleep were frightened, and they were about to scream immediately.
Fortunately, the leading grandmother was the first to react, and hurriedly shouted: "Shut up!" โ
The maids were scolded by the grandmother, and hurriedly covered their mouths and did not dare to speak.
"Who asked you to come," it was Song Yuemei who spoke.
But at this time, Song Yuemei seemed to be crazy, with clear words and clear words, without any madness.
The grandmother was shocked when she heard this. Could it be that this Aunt Song is not really crazy, but pretending to be crazy and stupid to show others? Now that I knew that they were here to take people away, they immediately returned to normal again?
Seeing that Mama didn't answer, Song Yuemei lifted the bed curtain and looked at a few people with a cold face.
Mama was stunned by Song Yuemei's eyes.
In the past, she was not a person from the Lu Mansion, and she was just a Lu Mansion who came recently, although she had heard earlier that this Aunt Song who was comparable to the status of the eldest lady, but she didn't know what it was, so she thought that she was just relying on the favor of the lord and was arrogant in the mansion.
Later, I heard that this Aunt Song had fallen out of favor and was being grounded, so she recently let her own daughter take her out.
I thought that the next thing would be An's birthday, but who knew that the two young ladies didn't know which style they smoked, and suddenly let people send their own mothers back to be grounded.
It's a tough thing to do, and a lot of people in the house don't want to get involved. If it weren't for the fact that these two young ladies gave a lot of silver, she wouldn't want to wade into this troubled water.
Seeing Aunt Song like this at this moment, she regretted why she took this errand.
Just for a few taels of silver, maybe it really mixed into some secret matter of this deep mansion compound. If one is not careful, it is unknown if someone is silenced.
Seeing that the people were silent, Song Yuemei asked again: "But Lu Guanlan asked you to come?" โ
