Chapter 5: Lu Guanlan's disfigurement
Mother's coffin was buried seven days later, during which Lu Guanlan never saw Lu Jingzhu again, Chunxiang came to report that the second lady was unwell and couldn't hold the night vigil, and Lu Guanlan just smiled.
On the day of the funeral, the Lu family members came to see him off. Song Yuemei's two sons went to other countries and failed to come back, Song Yuemei covered her face with a handkerchief in front of the hall to wipe away her tears, Lu Bingyan looked overly sad, and shouted "Yun'an" sadly to her mother's coffin.
After all, my grandfather couldn't come to Beijing because of old age, so on the day I saw my mother go, in addition to her own daughter, who could cry for her mother, there was only the group of grandmothers and girls who came from Shuzhong.
Lu Jingzhu, who I haven't seen for a few days, also came, and she was still so touching, as if she was born with a weak face that couldn't take care of herself, as long as she cried, everyone else would feel pity.
Lu Jingzhu did cry very sadly, and she reluctantly looked as if she was the eldest lady.
Seeing the faces of these people in his eyes, Lu Guanlan was indifferent in his heart. In her previous life, her mother was so lonely, because of the words of the Taoist priest, she was hastily buried, and she did not even have the dignity of the mother of the Lu family.
"Funeral!"
Lu Guanlan watched the coffin slowly being lifted and closed his eyes. If the mother also has an afterlife, I hope not to be the daughter-in-law of the Lu family again. As for the grievances suffered by her mother in the Lu family in this life, it is up to her, the daughter, to seek justice.
After the burial of the eldest lady, everyone spent half a month without incident.
During this period, Lu Guanlan asked Xiaoju to fetch lotus seed soup every day, and Qiao'er also cut off his beard every day.
Ah Li was worried that Song Yuemei would find out, and she didn't know what she wanted.
She didn't explain, she just said rest assured, Qiao'er wouldn't tell her master the origin of this thing, she just took credit for herself, and they were so loyal to Qiao'er.
Ah Li was even more puzzled, feeling that the young lady's heart was difficult to figure out now, thinking that it was because of the death of his wife, and the young lady's temperament had changed greatly? Fang felt distressed again.
Looking at Ah Li's worried look, Lu Guanlan's eyes had more tenderness that he had not had in these days. She still remembered that Ah Li came from Shuzhong with her mother, who was eight years older than her, and had been with her since she was born. After the death of her mother in her previous life, Song Yuemei, who sat in the position of the eldest lady, sold Ali out on the grounds that Ali was too old to dress as a lady, and lied to her that she had found a good family for Ali, if she hadn't heard it from the chatter of the maids, she didn't know that Ali was sold to be a concubine, married to Zhang Yuanwai on the outskirts of the city, and was beaten to death by the housewife.
Thinking of this, she said softly: "Ah Li, do you want to get married?" β
Ah Li was stunned when she heard this, and then knelt down, with tears in her eyes, "If Miss thinks that Ah Li is not doing well, teach Ah Li a lesson, Ah Li has followed the eldest lady to the house since she was a child, and she grew up with Miss, and now Ah Li only has Miss by her side, please don't let Ah Li go." β
She smiled suddenly, and stretched out her hand to help Ah Li up, "Who said that I wanted to drive you away, but I was afraid that you would be tired of the days in this mansion, and it was time to go out to find a good family," With her in this life, she will definitely not let Ah Li end up like that.
Ah Li raised her sleeve and wiped her tears, her voice was a little choked, "Where Miss is, Ah Li is there, I just ask Miss not to dislike Ah Li." β
How so. Lu Guanlan looked at Ah Li, she had too many things to do in this life, and she was afraid that one day she would not be able to take care of the people around her. After all, she is not a good person in this life, and she does all evil things, the closer she is, the easier it is to expose her flaws, and the easier it is to be implicated.
A month passed quickly, and Lu Guanlan counted the days of his illness in his previous life, and asked Ah Li to pretend to accidentally reveal that she was unwell from time to time.
As soon as the day of the illness in the previous life came, Lu Guanlan asked Ah Li to cover her face and arms with red rashes overnight. Ah Li didn't know what to do, so she just knew how to do it.
Until the early morning of the second day, an exclamation came from Lu Guanlan's room, which startled many people in the courtyard. saw Ah Li run out of the room and hurriedly beckoned the two girls to go in.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Xiaoju running out, and she was about to rush out in a panic. Fang'er, who only cleans the yard outside the house on weekdays, saw it and hurriedly came forward to ask.
Xiao Ju was so anxious that she blurted out: "Miss somehow, her face is full of rashes, you have to invite the doctor quickly, don't delay," After speaking, he ran away in a panic with his skirt.
Fang'er looked around and saw that everyone went in to serve the young lady and no one paid attention to her, so she found a corner where no one was around, threw down her broom and sneaked away. At this time, a figure walked out of the shadow of the eaves, looked at Fang'er's back slipping away, and turned his head back to the house to report.
At the same time, Lu Jingzhu's courtyard also made a lot of noise, jumping chickens and dogs, falling and smashing, which scared the girls and grandmothers in the courtyard a lot.
As soon as Lu Bingyan came back from the court, he heard that something had happened to the two daughters in the family, and heard that it was Lu Guanlan and Lu Jingzhu, so he wanted to go to see his daughter-in-law first, but remembering Lu Guanlan's eyes that day, he still went to Moyuan first.
At this time, Song Yuemei was already there, and the maid mothers were also walking around Lu Jingzhu's bedside, and as soon as Lu Bingyan stepped into the door, he heard Song Yuemei's cry.
Lu Bingyan frowned, entered the inner room, and just wanted to ask what was going on, when he saw Lu Jingzhu open the curtain and look at him with tears in his eyes.
"Thisβwhat the hell is going on, how do you serve Second Miss!" Lu Bingyan came back to his senses in surprise and couldn't help but scold.
Song Yuemei looked compassionate, and said while wiping away tears: "Don't blame the servants, if you want to blame, blame the concubine, it's the concubine who failed to take care of Jingzhu." β
Seeing that his concubine was so pitiful, Lu Bingyan couldn't get angry anymore, and only asked when the doctor would come. As soon as the words fell, the doctor who had been invited arrived.
Here in Taoyuan, Xiao Ju has not come back for a long time. Ah Li couldn't help but be a little worried, "Didn't that girl stop her halfway?" β
Lu Guanlan looked at himself in the mirror, looked at himself with a rash in the mirror, couldn't help laughing, and said, "The ink garden will come to us from there." β
Ah Li suddenly realized that Miss asked Xiaoju to get the lotus seed soup before, and let herself attract Qiao'er, she knew that it was strange, but I don't know how Miss learned that this lotus seed soup would have such symptoms after eating.
Sure enough, an hour later, Xiao Ju's announcement came from outside the courtyard. Ali lowered the curtain and welcomed the doctor into the inner room.
Through the curtain, Lu Guanlan stretched out a hand and put it on the mat prepared by the doctor. In her previous life, she had a rash on her face, but her body was asymptomatic, so she didn't need to pretend to have a headache and brain fever, but I don't know if this doctor can see that she is not sick.
After some treatment, the doctor told her that it was just due to food, and that she had been taking medicine on time recently.
Food Restraint? She smiled, saying so, Song Yuemei also hired a fake doctor, and said the good words in advance, and it didn't matter if she was really sick or not.
Lu Guanlan coughed lightly in the curtain, "Ah Li sent the doctor." Ah Li left with the doctor.
Seeing off the doctor, Ali returned to the room and closed the door. "I really feel like I'm losing money for this quack."
Lu Guanlan lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "If it weren't for quacks, wouldn't I have been seen pretending to be sick?" β
"What if the young lady is really sick?" Pear is disgusted.
yes, if you're really sick. In her previous life, she was really sick, but Song Yuemei found such a doctor for treatment, and the poison of her heart was enough to be seen.
Until dinner, Lu Bingyan never came to look at Lu Guanlan. Lu Guanlan didn't care, and Lu Bingyan didn't come to see her in the previous life, but she later realized that she was retained by Song Yuemei. What is so good about such a man, worthy of being like this, she really doesn't understand.
pretending to take medicine every day, and after half a month, the rash on Lu Guanlan's face is still not good.
On this day, as soon as Lu Guanlan finished freshening up, he saw Ah Li come in with medicine, sent off the people around her, and whispered to her: "Fang'er ran out again." β
She nodded, "Let her report the news well, otherwise Song Yuemei will not be relieved." β
Ah Li was puzzled, "But when did Miss guess that there were ghosts in our courtyard?" β
When? I knew it in my last life. It's just that Fang'er in the previous life was her close maid, if it weren't for Fang'er, how could she "introduce" Lu Jingzhu to Chengye after she became the queen.
She hated it before, she hated Lu Jingzhu for secretly Chen Cang with Chengye behind her back, and hated herself for being too stupid to find out earlier. Now I don't hate it, but I think it's very suitable for men and women.
In the previous life, Lu Jingzhu used all means to climb onto the dragon bed, and in this life, she personally sent her there, but it is difficult to say whether it is a dragon bed or not.
In the Nixuan Pavilion, Song Yuemei listened to Fang'er's report on Lu Guanlan's words and deeds today, and waved her hand to let people go back. Haruka approached her, "It seems that this method is useful." β
Song Yuemei picked up a box of ointment with a pair of soft wattles dyed with Kodan, and a smug and cruel smile appeared on her face, "Go, let Jingzhu send it to her sister tomorrow." β
Haruka took it, turned around and went to the ink garden.
What Lu Guanlan didn't expect was that Lu Jingzhu, who really ate the bowl of lotus seed soup, was fine. Seeing Lu Jingzhu appear in front of him intact, Lu Guanlan's heart was shocked.
Is the lotus seed soup okay? No, if there is no problem, Song Yuemei will not find a fake doctor to treat her, but if there is a problem, why is Lu Jingzhu fine. She was sure that something had been added to the lotus seed soup, but she was puzzled for a moment by Lu Jingzhu's safety.
Seeing that she was stunned, Lu Jingzhu saluted again, looking at her with clear eyes, "Sister? β
She came back to her senses, put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, looked at Lu Jingzhu's harmless eyes, her face was calm and her tone was not disgusted, "I knew that my second sister was coming, so I didn't eat so early." In the past, she couldn't say such things, such pretending to be familiar but actually hypocritical, but in this life she is very smooth.
Lu Jingzhu smiled, turned around and made a color for Ping'er, and the big girl Ping'er next to her hurriedly handed over a jade box. Lu Jingzhu took it and handed it to her, "A few days ago, I also had a rash on my face, and my little lady asked someone to make this ointment and wipe it off." β
Lu Guanlan did not refuse, and let Ah Li on the side take it, "Thank you second sister, second sister can have dinner?" Why don't you use some together? β
Lu Jingzhu hurriedly waved his hand and said that he would go back to learn the piano and read books. She didn't stop her, and as soon as the people left, she said to Ah Li: "Find a time to go out tomorrow and find a reliable medical center to find out what's inside." β
