The people at the table had different thoughts, but with General Wu in charge, Zheng Lingyi ate this meal quite well.

It's just that the bowl of shredded fish soup looks quite delicious, but she can't taste one or two because of the wound on her face, which is a pity.

"Mama Kim's husband is a fisherman, and she is very good at making fish and shrimp." Wu Zhi suddenly said something, so that Zheng Lingyi thought that he could spy on people's hearts.

Looking at her surprised eyes, Wu Zhi couldn't help but smile and said, "Your eyes are about to fall into the soup." ”

Zheng Lingyi was very embarrassed, and felt that it was not as obvious as it was, and muttered: "I don't have it." ”

When the two came out of Nanyuan, General Wu asked Dr. Wu to send Dr. Xiao Yang out, maybe to ask something by the way, anyway, what Dr. Xiao Yang would say was what Zheng Lingyi wanted him to say.

It is just the spring breeze blowing in the afternoon, which makes people's hearts impetuous.

Wu Xian's body has been made of this dress material some times, Zheng Lingyi touched it as soon as she touched it, it must be stuffy and breathable, she secretly thought to herself, she had to make him two summer clothes before the day was completely warm.

Ahead, Gao Man also took the initiative to hold Wu Yongan's cuffs, and then asked Wu Yongan to hold his hand, and the two held hands, but they looked like you and me.

Zheng Lingyi saw this scene in his eyes, glanced at Wu Xuan, and said lightly: "There is a lover." ”

"So you have a lover?" Wu Zhi seemed to have a different opinion, and lowered his eyes to glance at the slender jade hand hidden in the sleeve of the person beside him.

Zheng Lingyi didn't notice his gaze, and said: "It's better than Wu Yongjun and Wan's, which can make people see disharmony at a glance." ”

Wu Zhi didn't reply, but his fingertips moved slightly, as if he was expecting something.

Qiao's family went to the Guogong Mansion under the strong pressure of General Wu, although Zheng Lingyi was concerned about how things would change, but she couldn't wait, after all, she still had a lot of things in her hands.

Wu punished Zheng Lingyi with a total of seven deeds, and there were four of them as gatekeepers, so he really treated his family as thieves to prevent them.

Zheng Lingyi first asked the gatekeeper and knew that their surnames were Qiu, Liu, Yin, and Wang.

The men or sons of these four families are all working in the acres of fields under Zheng Lingyi, and their net worth is clear.

The remaining three, one is Gan Pozi, who is in charge of sprinkling, and the other is Li Pozi, who is responsible for washing, all of them have no relatives and no reason, and a body deed is properly pinched in their hands.

There is also a mother Jin who is in charge of the stove, she is a little different, in the past, when the Lu family was not down, she was the cook of the Lu family.

Later, even if the Lu family withered, she had been following Lu Xian, and she had been doing cooking work in the Lu family all these years, and was very respected by the Lu family.

Wu Xian has now returned to the Wu family, there is no trustworthy person in his hand, Lu Xian sent Jin's mother over, at least he can always rest assured about this food.

"These mothers-in-law look down-to-earth and hardworking." Lu Nong accompanied Zheng Lingyi to ask the mother-in-law one by one, and his heart was a little more settled.

"Treat Jin's mother can't be like an ordinary person, she must be extra courteous." Zheng Lingyi instructed.

Lu Nong had dealt with Jin's mother twice, and felt that she was gentle and easy to get along with, so he smiled and said: "This is natural, the slave can save it." ”

"Thanks to the fact that he still has an uncle's family, I feel a lot easier." Zheng Lingyi said with emotion.

"Him?" Midori's tone didn't sound very approving, "Madam, why is it so unfamiliar?" ”

Zheng Lingyi was a little cramped, and deliberately covered it up in a loud voice, "Otherwise, what is it called, Lang Jun?" Saburo? It's too numb. ”

Lu Nong smiled half-revealed, suddenly lowered his head, and said, "The slave maid will go and change a pot of hot tea for Mrs." ”

Zheng Lingyi was a little puzzled, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Wu Zhi walking in, and hurriedly turned his head to avoid him.

Wu Zhi stood beside her, and when he saw her covering the tips of her red ears, she was very embarrassed, so she put away her joke and said, "It's called anything." My real name is Wu Zhun, and later because of Qiao's design, I was punished and called Wu Zhun, although this name is not on the family tree, but I am used to it. ”

Zheng Lingyi listened to him talk about the past so calmly, but his heart was astringent.

"Is there a statement for that matter?"

When Wu Zhi heard her say this, many memories that had been suppressed in his heart suddenly popped up, like a sudden wave, enveloping him so that he couldn't breathe.

"Go back to your room." Wu Zhi was silent for a long time, and when Zheng Lingyi began to be apprehensive, he said three words briefly.

I didn't find it last night, there is a lush tulipwood outside the north window of this inner room, the leaves are two sections wide and the middle is a bunch, like a slender waist woman, very full of posture.

At this time, it is the flowering season of tulipwood, the flowers are big and beautiful, like a finely carved golden jade wine cup.

"It's a fact that my biological mother was bullied."

Zheng Lingyi never thought that Wu Xian would say such a sentence first as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Qiao's has a younger brother named Qiao Guanying. Born to be inferior, despicable and shameless, he has coveted my biological mother for a long time. After the banquet, he got drunk and sneaked into the back house and bullied her. ”

Wu Punishment's eyes gradually reddened, many years have passed, and his anger is still strong, it is conceivable that he must have been eager to eat Qiao Guanying alive.

"You've never heard of Qiao Guanying, have you?" Wu Zhi said lightly.

Zheng Lingyi felt a chill when he heard this, nodded cautiously, and said, "Qiao's mother's family is not in Beijing, so he should also be a nobody." ”

The Qiao family had high hopes for him, so they stayed in the Wu family for the next year's scientific expedition. However, he will never have this opportunity in his life. ”

"You killed him?" Zheng Lingyi asked softly, if it was really Wu Punishment who made a move, she wouldn't feel strange.

Wu Zhi looked a little hesitant, and his expression was evasive, not because of a weak heart, but because he was afraid of frightening Zheng Lingyi.

The back house is full of Qiao's eyeliner, and it was quickly reported to her. Qiao's distorted this incident as my biological mother's seduction, luring, and forcing her to crash into the pillar and die. So I found him in Qiao's courtyard and cut his subordinate things with a knife. ”

Zheng Lingyi frowned slightly, and said: "Qiao's family is so despicable, distorting the facts, and even trying to hide the murderer. And now? Qiao Guanying has become a wasted person, so he wants to avoid people and live his life, right? ”

She didn't get too entangled in Wu Punishment's methods, but she was really very different from others.

General Wu was furious at that time, firstly, because he believed that Qiao's family framed the Lu clan for stealing people, and secondly, he felt that Wu's punishment methods were too vicious, and it was not as good as seeing it in person.

This word 'punishment' is not as understood by the outside world, saying that it is to make him bear the ugly behavior of his biological mother, but to let Wu Zhi restrain his mind and stop doing things that cross the line because of anger and out of control.

Wu Zhi looked at her quietly, and he found that whenever he looked into Zheng Lingyi's eyes, he would not be swallowed up by the surging memories.

"Qiao Guanying is now in Qiao's hometown, and I heard that I bought a few concubines and beat them day and night."

"It's really vicious." Zheng Lingyi hugged his shoulder, as if he had some chills on his body.

"Afraid of me?" Seeing this, Wu Zhi lowered his eyes to hide his loss.

"I'm afraid of what you're doing, I think human nature is ugly and disgusting." Zheng Lingyi said subconsciously.

Wu Zhi couldn't help but want to smile, and when he saw Zheng Lingyi suddenly close to his face, he said solemnly: "But at the moment, you and I are also tied together, and you have to leave a way back for yourself in everything, but you can go to the tip of the knife everywhere." ”

She nestled back in the rocking chair, looked at Wu Punishment with some hesitation and said, "On the surface, how can you say that you also seriously injured your uncle, it is impossible for General Wu to do nothing." ”

If it weren't for Qiao Guanying's injury, which was really embarrassing, he couldn't make it public, but I was afraid that Wu Guanying's reputation would really rot into the mud pit.

"I know. I don't blame him for punishing me, nor do I blame him for conniving Qiao's people for insulting me, I only hate why he believed Qiao's words at that time. forced my biological mother to hit the pillar to prove her innocence, her life was gone, but her reputation was still ruined. ”

Wu Zhi thought clearly and said clearly, Zheng Lingyi was speechless.

She was an outsider in that past, so naturally she was not qualified to ask Wu to forgive General Wu.

Zheng Ling thought about it, avoided the dead knot between father and son, and said to Wu: "Qiao's is aggrieved enough today, and he has to have a dog-eat-dog fight with Lu's dog-eat-dog." ”

Wu Zhi didn't smile, but said with a vigilant face: "Qiao's still wants my life now." I wanted to take you out to live, but he wouldn't. I can't marry you without the name of the Wu family, so I can only do this now. We all have to be vigilant everywhere and live without slackening for a moment. ”

The two looked at each other, Zheng Lingyi knew that he wanted to apologize, and said with a smile: "I used to live this kind of life at home, and I was familiar with it, and there was no difference." ”

As she spoke, she blinked in confusion, grabbed an unfinished sentence in Wu Fangcai's words, and said to him: "You moved back to live because you want to marry me?" But I remember hearing from Qiao Luo a long time ago that you seem to be going home. ”

"Since I knew that Grandpa Guo intended to discuss marriage with the Zeng family, I deliberately showed traces in front of the spy, and he found it."

Wu Zhi confessed, and came out of the tray generously, "If I want to marry you, I can't be a rebel who has been expelled from the house." I originally wanted to make a name for myself and then think about it in the long run, but I didn't expect that your twelfth sister would be your turn before she got married. ”

Zheng Lingyi's face turned crimson, and he didn't want to pay attention to Wu Punishment, but the questions in his heart were one after another, which was really grinding, so he had to endure his shame and said, "What did you say to Wu Rouxiang that day?" How could she suddenly speak for me? ”

Wu Xian didn't want to talk about this in detail, but since Zheng Lingyi asked, he didn't hide it.

"Wu Rouxiang was not indecent when she was young, she hooked up with Qiao Zhixian, the cousin of the Qiao family, and was bumped into by Gan Song a few times."

"Jataman!? He is a man of your house, so no wonder you didn't call him to your house. ”

"Yes. The Wu family originally had a doctor who died a few years ago, and Jatamansong was his little apprentice, whose original name was licorice. When the two found Gansong cheating, Qiao Zhixian beat him to death, tied him up and threw him in the pool. Unexpectedly, Jatamansi woke up as soon as he entered the water, although he was well versed in water, but he was seriously injured and dragged down by stones, even if he struggled desperately, he was gradually exhausted. If I hadn't passed by, he wouldn't have had any life. ”

Gan Song's escape from death made Zheng Lingyi's heart beat when he heard it, and he felt the fragility of human life and the sinister nature of people's hearts.

The two talked for a long time in the house, but there were still many things to say, Zheng Lingyi heard about Wu Rouxiang's unbearable past, and knew why she wanted to monitor Wu Punishment by herself.

Wu Zhi put his heart into her today, and she shouldn't hide it.

Zheng Lingyi was about to open his mouth to say this to Wu Zhi, when he suddenly heard Lu Zhu saying outside the door: "Young lady, Madame asked you to go to the Ling Pavilion." ”
