I regret not being at the beginning.

Compared with Lu Zhentang's tossing and turning and difficulty sleeping, Ruan Xiaoman slept well.

He dared to ask her, and he dared to say, who is afraid of whom, he has long wanted to vent his evil anger for He Bilian.

The big reason has been thought through, but Lu Zhentang is still embarrassed to ask Ruan Xiaoji about it.

And Ruan Xiaoman is very busy, there are more and more private customizations of rouge gouache, and which family wants to ask her for help to see such and such problems.

"Are you young ladies usually so busy?" Lu Zhentang asked the housekeeper curiously.

If he wanted to ask Ruan Xiaoman a good question, he didn't have a chance to go back the longer he could, and he didn't even have the courage to ask questions.

"Our young lady is amazing, there is almost no one in this Yuzhi County who has not come to beg our young lady." What the housekeeper said was honorable.

Even bringing others to him as a housekeeper was polite, and when Ruan Xiaoman was away, he blocked a lot of people who came to ask for help.

I don't know, he's the most comfortable here.

The housekeeper said with confidence, and Lu Zhentang did not have the slightest doubt.

And Ruan Xiaoman went to Qin's house today, the child was a little feverish, and Second Mrs. Qin was not very relieved, so she specially asked her to go over and help take a look.

"It's just a small problem, you don't need to drink medicine." After Ruan Xiaoman checked the child, it was just a little feverish, and Second Mrs. Qin was too nervous.

"Is it really okay?" Second Lady Qin was still a little uneasy.

"It's okay, I think it should be caused by food accumulation, what should be paid attention to is the problem of diet, first starve for one or two meals......" Ruan Xiaoman said jokingly.

But seeing that Second Mrs. Qin was still worried, Ruan Xiaoman had to carefully instruct her how to help the child promote digestion, as well as how to cool down and how to recognize the child's symptoms of food accumulation.

Second Mrs. Qin listened carefully, but she didn't expect that it was her relationship that caused the child to suffer, "Fortunately, there are you." ”

"It's just a matter of effort." Ruan Xiaoman saw that Second Mrs. Qin only had children in her eyes, and had already begun to massage the child's small belly, so she said goodbye and left.

After returning to the Lu family, Ruan Xiaoman asked Zhu Qiao to check on the affairs of the Li family.

And Lu Zhentang hesitated again and again, but he couldn't help but ask Ruan Xiaoman about He Bilian.

The spring flowers in the garden were still brilliant, and Lu Zhentang and Ruan Xiaoman sat in the garden pavilion, absentmindedly looking at the brilliant spring flowers.

He was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look at Ruan Xiaoman's face, he always felt that Ruan Xiaoman knew something.

Ruan Xiaoman poured a cup of tea for Lu Zhentang, "Daddy, but you have something to tell me?" ”

"I heard that Xiao Ji is not your own brother......" Lu Zhentang hadn't thought of the opening sentence yet, and when he heard Ruan Xiaoman ask, he almost blurted out.

"It doesn't matter, in my heart he is my brother, and we are his family." Ruan Xiaoman put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and said calmly, as if he was gossiping.

She had been waiting for this question for a long time, and he finally couldn't help but ask it.

Lu Zhentang was almost certain that Ruan Xiaoman knew something.

Her answer made him not know how to ask, Lu Zhentang hated that he couldn't remember Ruan Xiaoji's appearance.

Even He Bilian's appearance has long been blurred, and the faceless woman in the dream is probably her.

It was only in his dreams that he would admit that he was ashamed of her.

If it weren't for the incident in the Sandaokou Ancestral Hall, Lu Zhentang thought that he would not be able to find out He Bilian's final whereabouts.

It should be that she is right, and Ruan Xiaoji should be her child, and it is also his child, he believes in her.

Perhaps because he trusted and understood too much, he thought that he had chosen a path that would benefit the Lu family and be harmless.

But he really didn't know that Ruan Xiaoji existed, he really didn't know.

Perhaps, if he knew about Ruan Xiaoji's existence, he should not be so despicable to choose the path that is most beneficial to him.

So what would they look like now? Lu Zhentang didn't dare to think about it.

He couldn't imagine that he couldn't remember the two faces he had forgotten.

"Is his mother still alive?" Lu Zhentang trembled, wanting to reach out for the teacup and drink hot tea to calm down, but he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to hold the teacup, so he didn't take anything in the end, and his hands were a little nowhere to put them.

"Dead." Ruan Xiaoman sighed faintly.

"How did you die?" Lu Zhentang wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but he couldn't.

"You won't want to know." Ruan Xiaoman shook his head, belated repentance was not worthy of forgiveness.

Well, the one who can forgive him is not her, it's a question he won't get an answer to in his lifetime.

"You know it all, don't you?" Lu Zhentang was ashamed, although he didn't have the face to ask like this, but he didn't vomit unpleasantly.

"I don't know what you think in your heart, and I don't want to know the things you think I know, but what I want to tell you is that half of the reason why Xiao Ji wants to take the imperial examination is because of his mother, and he wants to return his mother's innocence." Ruan Xiaoman couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth, disdainful of the slowly lowered side face.

"Where is she?" Lu Zhentang smiled bitterly, he didn't need to look at it to guess what she was thinking at this time, he should bear it.

"I'm sorry." Ruan Xiaoman said resolutely, "You will know when Xiao Ji is in high school." ”

Lu Zhentang left the pavilion in despair, Ruan Xiaoman looked at his back, and left the pavilion for a long time.

Next, Lu Zhentang lay in the room for two days and two nights, and the food was not touched much.

Ruan Xiaoman didn't want to pay much attention to him, but who made Lu Zhentang her father-in-law.

The housekeeper said that Lu Zhentang was not in a very good state, and Ruan Xiaoman had to come to his door.

Before knocking on the door, the door opened, and although Lu Zhentang, who came to open the door, looked very haggard, at least his clothes were still very neat, there was no beard scum, but there were many more gray hairs.

"You're here." Lu Zhentang's tone towards Ruan Xiaoman was much colder.

Is he mad at her?

Feel free, she doesn't have to rely on his snort to survive anyway.

"I heard that my father is not feeling well these days, so I came to take a look." Ruan Xiaoman said with a glance, save him some face in front of outsiders, and his things are not very glorious.

"I should go back, I'll leave tomorrow, leave early in the morning, I was going to talk to you in person, but now I don't need to, I won't disturb your rest tomorrow morning." After Lu Zhentang finished speaking, he locked himself in the room again, Ruan Xiaoji was not there, and he didn't get an answer to what he wanted to know, he didn't know what the point of staying here was.

"Okay." Ruan Xiaoman said to the closed door.

If they leave, they may both be able to live more comfortably.

"Young lady." Zhu Qiao shouted a little worriedly, the affairs of the Li family are so tricky, Lu Zhentang wants to give her a face again, afraid that she will not be happy.
