In the house, Mrs. Lu had already come to her senses.

Xiang Mother knelt beside Mrs. Lu, holding a comb in her hand, and was carefully combing Mrs. Lu's hair. And Linlang stood aside, wiping the ridiculous rouge on Mrs. Lu's face with a wet handkerchief.

When Xie Li walked in, Old Madam Lu had already packed up.

"Big girl, you're back." Old Madam Lu tilted her head slightly and looked at Xie Li who was standing at the door in the backlight.

is already a big girl in her twenties, and the immature air between her eyebrows and eyes has gradually fallen, and she has become more and more moving.

Xie Li pursed his lips and stepped forward, the first thing he said was "Mother is gone".

Old Madam Lu originally wanted to pull up a smile, but when she heard the half-drawn arc on her face, she looked even more ridiculous than her rouge-smeared face at the beginning.

"How so?" Old Madam Lu was slightly stunned, "Qianqian, she ......"

"His Royal Highness King Chen and Xie Tian brought someone over, and my mother bumped into Xie Tian's blade in order not to drag me and Xie Chen down, and died on the spot." Xie Li couldn't figure out what she wanted to express, but subconsciously felt that it was necessary for her to clarify this matter for Mrs. Wang.

"Grandmother, did you already know that my mother was my mother's sister?"

A bitter smile rose at the corner of Old Madam Lu's mouth.

"I don't know, can you believe it?" Old Madam Lu slowly stood up with her mother's hand, her eyes not dodging at all.

"I don't know if I should believe it or not." Xie Li shook his head, "Mother, she is not good to me, nor can she be very bad. ”

Old Madam Lu gently pulled the corners of her mouth and laughed, "I'm not good to you, but I'm not too bad." ”

She seemed to be a little self-deprecating and grinned, and Xie Li realized that her teeth were almost gone.

Thinking back to the day I first saw her, how majestic Mrs. Lu was sitting on the top position, the elders in the sect family didn't dare to beak her decisions and words at all.

"Come with me somewhere." Without waiting for Xie Li to answer, Old Madam Lu walked out slowly with a cane.

Mother Xiang, who had always followed Mrs. Lu, stood in place and did not move, but just watched Mrs. Lu stubbornly and slowly walk forward.

Seeing Xie Li's gaze fall on him, he shook his head lightly to his mother, "Eldest sister, there are some things that the slave and maid will not go." ”

After she finished, she bent down to clean up the mess in the house, and Linlang also squatted down silently and didn't say anything more.

Seeing that the back of the old man Rao had already left the courtyard gate of Furong Pavilion, Xie Li picked up the hem of his skirt and followed.

Supporting the old man Lu to spare his hand, Xie Li said softly, "Grandmother, go slowly, we are not in a hurry." ”

Old Madam Lu nodded gently, "Okay, just listen to our Qingqing." ”

She threw the cane aside with her backhand, lowered her eyes to look at Xie Li's slender hand on her arm, pursed her lips and smiled again.

"At the beginning, your mother's temperament was similar to yours, and she and I often quarreled in the house." Old Man Lu said to Xie Li in a low voice, "At that time, every time I won a quarrel, I would ask the big kitchen to send her her favorite crystal elbow; And if she wins the quarrel, she will eat and drink in the Furong Pavilion with a dead face, and follow me before and after. ”

"Obviously, I haven't reached the age of asking for support, but she always relies on her own generation, and she has to treat me as old." Old Madam Lu had a look of remembrance on her face, and Xie Li hugged her silently, without words.

"After all, her daughter did it for her."

"Mother...... How did you marry Xie Fu? Seeing that Mrs. Lu was interested in what happened back then, Xie Li took the opportunity to ask.

"At the beginning, your father was a martial artist from the army, and he led the troops to fight among the princes of the Xiao clan with a single force. At that time, the Great Liang was in decline, and the feudal princes everywhere did not listen to the will of the Emperor of the Great Liang at all, and the princes divided one side, and the son stuck to Shengjing. And the Xiao clan's power is very strong, so they want to blackmail the princes. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to marry the princess of the royal family. ”

"The patriarch of the Xiao clan has taken a fancy to Pianjiao."

"Pianjiao is the most favored princess of Daliang, with outstanding appearance and good looks, and she is a good match in the hearts of many children. On the one hand, in order to win over Hui'er to work for him, and on the other hand, in order to practice the royal family of Daliang, the patriarch of the Xiao clan forcibly let Pian Jiao marry into our family. ”

"Your father is a reckless man who has never seen a fairy, and he fell in love with your mother at first sight, holding it in the palm of his hand with his heart, for fear that a snub would dislike his wife. Your mother is arrogant, and she didn't look down on your father, so the two of them have been respectful of each other for three years. ”

"Three years later, I really didn't like your mother's tall appearance, so I complained to the patriarch of the Xiao clan. Thus the two of us formed a bond, and your mother was humiliated and decided to return to the palace. At the time, I thought it would be a good relief for me or for her. ”

But who would have thought that Emperor Liang saw that Pianjiao couldn't win over the Xie family, so he asked the generals who married her to another concubine. The royal affairs were so unpredictable, Pian was trapped in the palace, and he was going to get married soon. It was your father, at the wedding banquet, who led the soldiers, and snatched the fluttering back home."

After snatching home, he was still as smiling as before, and never moved a finger. Probably because of this, your mother is willing to become a real husband and wife with your father. ”

"But because of this, the Xiao family found out that your father would think about your mother in everything, and the plan to attack the Daliang royal family was delayed again and again. Finally, in the last battle, the patriarch of the Xiao clan gave me a death order, if I can't get rid of Gu Pianji, then I must get rid of Xie Fu. ”

Old Madam Lu sneered, "How ridiculous, it was obviously made possible by them, but in the end, we had to solve it ourselves." ”

"And then?" As the color gets late, the house has experienced a great battle, and everywhere looks tattered, and the lanterns hanging under the porch flicker with a faint red light, adding a bit of warmth to the cold night.

"What a clever woman your mother is, she pretended to clash with me, and the next day she committed suicide by hanging herself. Before committing suicide, I asked your father to raise you like a pearl and not suffer the slightest grievance. ”

"Your mother committed suicide inexplicably, so naturally you need to give your father a reason, a person like him who is so brainless, if he knows the truth, I know best what the consequences will be."

"That's why my grandmother took the blame." Xie Li said in a low voice, "If it weren't for my grandmother to bear this infamy, I'm afraid there would be no disaster today." ”

Old Madam Lu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "The things that should be returned need to be returned sooner or later." ”

As the words fell, a wooden house appeared in front of him.
