On the way back to the house, Lu Youzhen was rarely silent all the way, he stared blankly at the brocade box given by Fu Mingxia and didn't know what he was thinking, Su Xi fed him water, he drank water, fed him oranges, and he ate oranges.

It wasn't until the gate of the Lu Mansion that he came to his senses in Su Xi's repeated calls.

Lu Youzhen glanced at Su Xi in amazement, quickly jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Su Xi down.

When he returned to Momei Courtyard, Su Xizhi walked down and asked Lu Youzhen what was going on, Lu Youzhen sat on the soft collapse, hugged Su Xi in his arms, and then said slowly:

"Actually, my mother didn't die of illness, she was killed.

"I was only five years old at the time, and our group was about to move from the capital to Sifang City, but I didn't expect to be assassinated just after leaving the capital.

"Those men were dressed in black and masked, and they threw smoke bombs to disturb everyone's view, and they didn't care about anyone else, but killed me and my mother's coachman, and drove the carriage away.

"In an unknown forest, they killed my mother and the people who were waiting in the carriage.

"Just as I was about to kill me, my uncle appeared, and he killed the assassins and saved me."

Lu Youzhen buried her head in Su Xi's neck and shoulder, and the burning breath scratched people uncomfortably, but Su Xi took care of it flawlessly, she held Lu Youzhen's hand, expecting to pass on her strength to him.

Lu Youzhen continued: "I still can't forget that strong smell of blood.

"Later, my uncle took me to a quiet mountain forest, buried my mother and her maid, and burned the assassin's body along with the carriage before taking me to the convoy of the Lu Mansion.

"I've never figured out that my mother is just a woman in the boudoir who doesn't go out of the door, who would be so ruthless to ask for her life.

"Not long after I arrived in Sifang City, I encountered two assassinations in succession, the first time was when someone infiltrated the Lu Mansion, and the other party killed a few maids in my courtyard and alarmed the guards in the mansion, and finally fled.

"The second time was more than half a year later, I wanted to find the murderer of my mother, so I took the initiative to go to the street as bait, and secretly arranged more than a dozen guards, and those people really appeared.

"I wanted to live, so I ordered the guards not to kill them, which gave the assassins a chance, and wounded many of my people, and the two sides fought hard, and then my uncle appeared, and he killed all the assassins."

Su Xi's eyes widened and he muttered, "Uncle, is it related to these assassins?" ”

"You think so too, I didn't think so much about it at the time, I just thought that my uncle was protecting me, but I've been checking the things of the year all these years, and I always feel that it's not so simple." Lu Youzhen straightened up and straightened out Su Xi's collar that was crumpled by him.

"But I don't think your uncle's favor for you is fake, and the assassin was certainly not sent by him." Su Xi spoke his mind.

"I know, I never doubted that he was good to me, but I was also sure that he must know who the killer was, and not only did he not want to tell me, but he was preventing me from investigating." Lu Youzhen said it very sure.

"The only people who can make my uncle defend like this are the people close to him, and there are people who have a grudge against your mother?" Su Xi guessed.

Lu Youzhen shook his head and said: "I sent someone to check my mother's life, but I couldn't find anything, when my mother was alive, my uncle had not been reused by the emperor, and my grandfather was only a small man in the household, and there were few people in the family who served, I sent someone to look for it but didn't find any of them." ”

Su Xi suddenly remembered someone: "What about Mama Yu?" Didn't she say that she brought you from a young age, and you should have served your mother. ”

Who knew that Lu Youzhen still shook his head and said: "Mama Yu actually came here when I was six years old, my original nurse was killed with my mother, and after arriving in Sifang City, there were many people added to the house, Mama Yu entered the house at that time, and later my mother saw that she was careful and transferred to me to take care of me." ”

"That's it," Su Xi was a little discouraged, but thinking about Lu Youzhen's investigation for many years without results, how could she, a person who didn't know anything about the past, easily find clues.

"Okay, don't think about it, it's been so many years, and there's no rush to check it at this time." Lu Youzhen comforted Su Xi instead.

In fact, Lu Youzhen still has some guesses in his heart, the mother in his memory is gentle and demure, never fights with others, and his teaching is mostly based on feeling life and being self-reliant.

If you want to kill their mother and son, no, to be precise, at that special moment when the new emperor ascends the throne, you can't wait to kill their mother and son, it must be related to the new emperor.

But Lu Youzhen has been investigating in this direction for a long time, and he knows a rough idea of the incident of seizing the heir back then, but he still can't figure out who will deliberately attack their mother and son who stay in the backyard of the deep house all year round.

After dinner in the evening, Lu Youzhen was reading on the couch, and Su Xi leaned on his arms to nibble on Ya Pear, which was sweet and juicy, and Su Xi liked it very much.

Lu Youzhen said suddenly: "Since you're here, come in, what do you want to see sneakily?" ”

Su Xi glanced at Lu Youzhen in surprise, and then turned his head to look outside, but it was still quiet, and there was no one.

"Who?" Su Xi asked.

"There's a mouse eavesdropping on the corner, don't worry about him, is this pear delicious?" Lu Youzhen leaned over and took a bite of the pear in Su Xi's hand as he spoke, and said disgustedly, "It's too sweet."

Su Xi was about to reply, "It's too sweet and you bite off most of my pears", when she heard a person rushing in from the window.

The man was dressed in red, and between his eyebrows and eyes was the gentleness of a tired person, not Jiang Wumeng or anyone.

Jiang Wumeng was not polite at all, as casual as coming to his own house, sitting opposite the two of them with a big prickly prickly, picking up a duck pear and nibbling it.

While eating, he said to Su Xi: "Sure enough, little brother and sister, if you like sweetness, I will ask someone to send some Lingnan lychees in a few days, the lychees in my lychee garden are particularly sweet, I guarantee that you will not forget it." ”

Su Xi sat up, her eyes lit up, she liked lychees very much, but Pei Shi always refused to eat more, saying that eating too much would make her angry. Her little head clicked quickly, and she urged Jiang Wumeng to send it quickly.

Jiang Wu dreamed of such a lovely Su Xi, his smile was even brighter, and he raised his eyebrows provocatively at Lu Youzhen behind him.

Lu Youzhen's face really darkened, he grabbed Su Xi, and said to Jiang Wumeng: "In the past, I didn't care about you, but now that I am married, if you want to come, remember to go to the main gate." ”

"Tsk, my wife is in her arms, she is so ruthless to my brother, and I came to give you a gift, it's really sad." Jiang Wumeng didn't look sad, smiled and took out a piece of paper deed from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Xi.

Su Xi asked, "What is this?" ”

Jiang Wumeng smiled so badly: "You get married, I don't have anything to give as an elder brother, so I'll give you a few pieces of jewelry, and in the future, my little brother and sister will wear them every day, which will make us Xiao Zhenzhen really can't take his eyes off it." ”

After speaking, he rolled out of the window like another gust of wind, and left a sentence, "The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, and my brother won't bother you." ”

This guy is really interesting. Su Xi thought secretly, and when he opened the piece of paper he left, he saw that it was the share sharing document of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion.

This is even the famous Imperial Treasure Pavilion in the capital, so she got 30% of the shares?

Su Xi looked at Lu Youzhen blankly, Lu Youzhen still didn't care about it, and said that if she was interested one day, she would take her to the newly opened Imperial Treasure Pavilion branch in Sifang City to pick up some jewelry.

Su Xi, who came back to his senses, said quietly: "My father has worked hard for most of his life, and he doesn't earn as much as I make as a parent." ”
