Chapter 496: Refusal
"What?" A beautiful female voice was extremely angry: "Am I also an outsider?" Uncle Ding, open your eyes and take a good look! ”
"The old slave knows, the old slave knows," Steward Ding was extremely embarrassed: "But you also know the young master's temper, if you turn around and blame it, our big group of people will not be able to eat and go around!" ”
"Uncle Ding, for the sake of you watching me grow up, I won't quarrel with you anymore," the woman's voice became higher and higher, "but I have to enter this door today!" Go away! ”
"Go and ask what's going on outside?" Qingwan put down the teacup and instructed a girl to say.
The girl agreed, hurriedly went out, and ran back after a while: "Miss Wei, it's my young lady who is here!" ”
"Oh?" How did this Lu Xiufang actually find the capital?
Despite her surprise, Qingwan immediately stood up: "Tell Uncle Ding, please ask your young lady to come in." ”
"Yes," the girl said relievedly, and ran out in a puff of smoke.
"Yo, it's a good place to live, huh?" Lu Xiufang quickly came in aggressively: "It can be seen that you are really unusual, even me and my second brother have never let you live in this house!" She looked left and right: "It's really hard work, look at these flowers and plants, I recognize them, they are all the second brother's favorite things, and they are willing to use them for you!" ”
"Miss Lu, please take a seat," Qingwan said, "I guess you have some misunderstanding, I am only living here temporarily, and I will move out tomorrow." ”
"Move out?" Lu Xiufang's eyes immediately widened in surprise, almost in disbelief: "Hmph! Such a nice place, would you be willing to move away? ”
Qingwan smiled faintly: "Believe it or not." ”
Saying this, Lu Xiufang was a little stunned, but soon shouted again: "It's all because of you!" The sister of the Xu family has passed away, now, you should be satisfied, right? ”
"Gone?" Qingwan was slightly surprised: "You mean"
"Yes!" Lu Xiufang is a person who is very affectionate, and she cried as she spoke: "If it weren't for you, the second brother would have agreed to this family affair, and Chong Chongxi would have cured the illness of the sister of the Xu family!" Now"
"Xiufang, don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Yanyi's calm voice sounded, which neither of them expected, and they both looked out of the door.
I don't know when, Lu Yanyi came back again, standing in front of her sister at this time, her face was very unhappy.
As soon as Lu Xiufang saw her brother, her arrogance immediately disappeared, and she died down: "Second brother! ”
"You girl, why did you come to the capital?" Lu Yanyi asked.
"I" Lu Xiufang snorted: "I begged the third brother to bring me, don't be angry!" This is all what I begged for, and it has nothing to do with the third brother! ”
"Peng Ao is here too?" Lu Yanyi's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Yes," Lu Xiufang said a little fearfully, "The third brother just said that he was going to the capital to do something, so I begged him to bring me here." ”
"Then where is your third brother now?" Lu Yanyi asked with a calm face.
"He said that there was something important, and it seemed that he had gone to the outskirts of Beijing." Lu Xiufang said: "He didn't say it, and I didn't dare to ask." ”
"Well," Lu Yanyi replied thoughtfully, and then said: "There should be a limit to your naughtiness, how have you ever seen a young lady running to someone's door like this, yelling and yelling?" ”
"I'm not" Lu Xiufang muttered unconvinced, but was interrupted by her brother.
"Sit down," Lu Yanyi said coldly.
Lu Xiufang still looked at her brother with unconvinced eyes, but she couldn't help but sit down.
"You don't have to look at me like that." Lu Yanyi said, "After a while, you will understand everything." How many times have I told you, it's so old, it's not a child anymore, it's still that temper that can't be changed, listening to the wind is rain, others give a mallet, you take it and think it's a needle, can't you tell the good from the bad? ”
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Xiufang snorted angrily and ignored him: "It's because"
Before he finished speaking, he was frightened back by his brother's cold eyes.
"You're just fighting for your sister of the Xu family, aren't you?" Lu Yanyi said slowly: "If things are not what you imagined, do you believe me or others?" ”
"What did you say?" Lu Xiufang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Could it be?"
"This family business has been put on hold for many years, and now it is suddenly brought up again, you should know whose credit it is."
"I know, it's the second aunt" Lu Xiufang showed a hesitant expression, but she still refused to believe it and said: "Although the second aunt is not our biological mother, but after so many years, she is polite to us, will she?"
"Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, in the past, we didn't have anything to hinder her interests, so we were naturally happy to be good people everywhere," Lu Yanyi sneered: "Her maiden brother has business dealings with the Governor's Palace, and in order to benefit her brother, she rushed to mention this family business, do you know all this?" ”
"I" Lu Xiufang was speechless, and her face turned red.
Lu Yanyi continued: "I know that you and your sister of the Xu family have grown up together since childhood, and their friendship is extraordinary, but have you seen her during this time? Do you know her situation? ”
"I've been going there several times, but people have said that the sister of the Xu family is seriously ill now, so it's better not to bother."
"Who said that?" Lu Yanyi looked at her sister.
"Yes, it's the second aunt"
"A few days before your sister Xu died, I went to see her." Lu Yanyi's voice also deepened.
"What?" Lu Xiufang jumped up and grabbed her brother's arm: "Tell me, what did the sister of the Xu family say?" ”
"She was already very sick at that time, since her biological mother died, the house has always been the third lady in charge, our second aunt, is to please the third lady, the fight is hot, only to pull this thread, since I know to re-mention the family matter, your sister Xu family knows that she can't get better, but also do everything possible to refuse this matter, who knows that the third lady will block the news, not allow her to see people, to force this matter. I also forced my way in, when she took my hand, the person was already thin, tears in his eyes, her father was going to Beijing to report on work, there was no relatives around, she wrote you a letter, ask me to hand it over. ”
"Letter? Where is it? Lu Xiufang couldn't wait to say: "Take it out and give it to me!" ”
"Right here, you can see for yourself, after reading it, you will know everything."
Lu Xiufang took the envelope, her hands were already trembling, she barely tore it open for a long time, her lips trembled, and after reading the content on it, her face had become pale.
"Sister Xu said in the letter that it was all the third lady and our second aunt who made the ghost, and also said, thanks to you for visiting her, otherwise, it would be difficult for her to say these words until she died." Lu Xiufang shed tears: "Second brother, these people are so ruthless, they don't even want to go to see me."
"I also went through a lot of twists and turns, and it was not easy to enter the deep mansion compound," Lu Yanyi recalled the past, and her tone was also full of bitterness: "I went again the next day, she couldn't write anymore, and she couldn't speak clearly, I gave her some medicine, although it improved, I knew it was a return to the light." By the time I go on the third day, your sister of the Xu family will no longer be there. ”
Lu Xiufang hid her face and cried bitterly.
"Don't cry, she asked me to give it to you, let's keep a memory." Lu Yanyi took out a jade bracelet and handed it to his sister, but his eyes glanced at Qingwan.
Qingwan knew that these words were ostensibly for Lu Xiufang, but in fact she was explaining to herself, so she glanced at Lu Yanyi lightly and said nothing.
"Second brother, I blamed you wrongly, don't be angry." Lu Xiufang slumped, not daring to look at her brother's eyes.
"Good sister," Lu Yanyi's voice was soft, gently stroking her head, "Where did you go?" How can my brother blame you? As long as you can keep an eye on everything in the future and stop being deceived, so that my brother can rest assured. ”
"Second brother, I have memorized everything you said," Lu Xiufang said, "I will definitely be cautious in the future." ”
"Is that all right?" Lu Yanyi reminded her: "What is still undone?" ”
Lu Xiufang immediately understood, turned her face to Qingwan and said embarrassedly: "Sister Wei, what I have done wrong these few times, don't take it to heart, I am here in front of my second brother, I will compensate you." ”
"It's okay," Qingwan smiled, "From the first time we met, I knew that you were a straightforward person." It's good that the misunderstanding is open. The two of us are facing each other's tempers, and we will get along like sisters in the future, and we won't mention anything before. ”
"Thank you, Sister Wei!" Lu Xiufang was shallow-minded, and when she heard it, she became happy, and stepped forward to hold Qingwan's arm affectionately: "I know, you won't blame me, and I'm not a heart, right?" Both of us have a fang character in their names, is this fate? It's good now, we will be in the capital in the future, and we can meet every day! Since I was a child, I have been looking forward to having a sister and sister to be my companion, but I only have three brothers, and I can't see the shadow every day, but I didn't expect that this wish came true here! ”
Once this girl opens the chatterbox, it's like water opening the floodgates, and the talk is endless, and others can't interject if they want to.
Qingwan has been listening to her with a smile, this Lu Xiufang has a completely different temperament from her brothers, and she is a good person to get along with.
"Sister Wei, don't move out, wouldn't it be nice to live here?" Lu Xiufang said enthusiastically: "I also beg the second brother to be your companion, okay?" ”
Without waiting for Qingwan to answer, he went up and shook Lu Yanyi's arm: "Second brother, I know that you don't let others come here, but Sister Wei has just arrived in the capital and is not familiar with the place, so you can let me come over and accompany Sister Wei, okay?" ”
"Sister Lu, this matter has nothing to do with your second brother," Qingwan hurriedly said: "My shop is about to open, and it is troublesome to run at both ends, and it is convenient to live over there and take care of business." ”
