Chapter 13: The Old Man Sighs
"Fifth Miss, your room has not been moved when you were a child, and someone has cleaned it for you every day, and the master said that you are not allowed to touch anything in your room." Lu Youya chattered endlessly along the way, and repeatedly said good things about Lu Sichang in front of Ye Ruo, in his words, Lu Sichang seemed to be a good father who loved his daughter like his life.
Ye Ruo was too lazy to listen to him, and what Lu Youya said was also in the left ear and out of the right ear. Lu Youya is Lu Sichang's henchman and lackey, I don't know how many pickled things he has done for him, and when he hasn't left here, Ye Ruo likes him very much and affectionately calls him Uncle Ya. But after those things happened five years ago, she avoided the Lu family and him.
When the three of them were walking inside, a little boy in a small blue vest ran out of it, he didn't seem to see anyone in front of him, and suddenly threw himself on Ye Ruo's knee.
The three of them were all startled by the sudden little boy, but Lu Youya reacted first. He smiled and pulled the boy over, rubbed his fleshy cheeks and said, "Why did the little young master run out alone, your mother." β
The little boy said in a milky voice: "My mother was about to catch me to take a bath, and I didn't want to go." β
Ye Ruo lowered his eyes and looked at the boy's cute face. Unexpectedly, she has been away from here for so many years, and Lu Sichang has a new heir, he is still a boy, I don't know who his biological mother is, is it the fourth aunt.
The Lu family now has no other male heirs except for such a boy. The eldest young master died five years ago, and the second young master died at birth, and now he finally has a new man, Lu Sichang should be a baby.
"Sister, are you my fifth sister?" While Ye Ruo was thinking, the little boy had already grabbed her hand. Because he was too short, he had to stand on tiptoe, looking at this tall sister with big clear eyes, waiting for Ye Ruo's answer.
I don't know why, Ye Ruo didn't have half a dislike for this child, maybe it was because the child was innocent. She crouched down, stroked the boy's furry head, and smiled, "yes, what's your name?" β
"My name is Lu Jingxuan, and I secretly told my sister that only my mother can call me by a nickname." As he spoke, the boy approached Ye Ruo's ear and said softly, "My mother calls me Aze." β
In an instant, Ye Ruo's eyes widened suddenly, she suddenly grabbed Aze's hand, and her expression became terrifying: "What's your mother's name." β
If someone else's name is Aze, maybe Ye Ruo has heard of it. But this is the Lu family, everyone knows that Lu Ze, the eldest young master of the Lu family, is gone five years ago, but now someone dares to give the newly-born young master the milk name Aze, she must have something to do with Lu Ze.
Aze was startled by Ye Ruo's sudden anger, Ye Ruo's face was reflected in his big black eyes, and he said in fear: "I won't tell you, you..."
As he ran, he cried out loudly: "Mother! He was picked up by the aqua blue man, and quickly turned and left the compound.
When Ye Ruo turned around, he only saw her back, so familiar but unfamiliar. She came back to her senses and hurriedly chased after her, Wei Che saw her run out, and followed suit.
Lu Youya, who was behind him, sighed, he couldn't hide it.
"Stop, are you Pei Die!"
Ye Ruo shouted to the person in front of him as he ran, and the woman who was running in front stiffened, but she didn't stop running, and the wind brought by running made the grass on the ground shake uncontrollably.
Wei Che glanced at the direction in which the woman was running, he turned into the garden, and then jumped up the garden wall, jumping down just to block the woman's way.
His sharp eyes flashed, and he said casually, "Didn't you hear her tell you to stop?" The woman was blocked between him and Ye Ruo, with walls on both sides, and there was no way back.
She gave up running, put down Aze in her arms, and turned her back to Ye Ruo to comfort Aze softly.
Ye Ruo slowly stopped running, she walked towards the back step by step, her hands clenched into fists at some point, and the closer she got to that figure, the more her body trembled uncontrollably.
The woman seemed to have made up her mind to turn around, the familiar face appeared in front of Ye Ruo's eyes, the aqua blue dress swayed gently in the wind, the scattered hair on her forehead shook in front of her eyes, and Pei Die showed the same smile as five years ago.
"Ruoruo, long time no see."
Ye Ruo looked at Pei Die blankly, she was still as beautiful as five years ago, but she didn't have the pure smile she had at that time, and now there was a meaning in her eyes that others couldn't see, and she had erected all the thorns.
Tears dripped on the ground without warning, and Ye Ruo realized that he was crying. The past is mostly reminiscent, and in the end it is mostly sentimental, she wiped the tears on her face indiscriminately.
"Sister Pei, why are you in the Lu family, is this my brother's child?"
Pei Die's expression did not change, she was still smiling but bent down to touch Aze, who was hiding behind her in fear, and the words that came out of her mouth made Ye Ruoru be struck by lightning.
"Ruoruo, don't call me Sister Pei in the future, I am your fourth aunt, this is your younger brother."
What the! Fourth aunt... Brother...
Ye Ruo looked at Pei Die in disbelief, her stunned eyes looked back and forth at their mother and son, and she spoke with difficulty like a rusty machine: "Four... Fourth aunt? You are the fourth aunt that Lu Si often married after my mother's death! β
"Impossible, no, you obviously jumped into the river with your brother, and we couldn't find you. How could you, how could you be in the Lu family! β
Ye Ruo's eyes were red, and she wanted to rush up to ask what was going on, but she was grabbed by Wei Che, who didn't know when she was by her side. Ye Ruo tried hard to shake off his shackles, but Wei Che's hand was tightly clasped like an iron tong, unable to break free.
"Don't make trouble, Lu Si is often here." Wei Che whispered softly in Ye Ruo's ear.
Lu Sichang walked slowly with Lu Youya, and when he heard what Lu Youya and he reported, he hurried over. When he saw the confrontation between the three of them, he guessed most of what was happening. He smiled: "Ruoruo has already seen butterflies?" What's wrong, why are you still crying. β
Ye Ruo blushed and looked at Lu Sichang's smiling face, but her voice was unusually calm, as if it was the last silence of the storm.
"You married Pei Die."
"Yes, this is your fourth aunt." Lu Sichang was already smiling, walked to Pei Die's side, and slowly hugged her.
"She's my brother's fiancΓ©e."
"Yes, Die'er has long been interested in me, but I don't know how to tell your eldest brother, and then I cried and told me after I came back to life and death, I still like me."
Lu Sichang and Pei Die looked at each other and smiled.
Ye Ruo only felt that this scene was too disgusting and crazy. She wanted to open her mouth but her eyes were dark, she fell down as if she had been drained of strength, Wei Che stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, Ye Ruo was so angry that he fainted. His deep eyes were full of worry and cruelty, he looked up at the family of three in front of him, his expression was full of deep disgust, he picked up Ye Ruo horizontally, and left the disgusting two.
Had a long, long dream.
Ye Ruo returned to when she was ten years old, and her brother had to go out almost every day, occasionally taking her with him, and occasionally not taking her. At that time, she didn't understand why her brother always took her to buy flowers, and her sister who sold flowers always blushed when she saw her brother.
"Your name is Ruoruo, right? I'm Pei Die, just call me Sister Pei. β
"This flower is given to you, it is a peony flower left by my sister for you, I hope if we are healthy and safe, we can harvest our love."
Later, as soon as Ye Ruoyi quarreled with his family, he ran to Pei Die's house, crying and scolding his brother for being a big villain. Pei Die always has a good temper to make flower paste and flower cakes for Ye Ruo to eat, she will be very patient to listen to Ye Ruo's complaints, Ye Ruo is tired of crying, so she lies in Pei Die's arms and sleeps, and when she wakes up, her brother comes to pick her up.
Pei Die and Pei Die's home has always been Ye Ruo's safe haven.
When Ye Ruo woke up, she was lying in the Lu family's room, the room where she had lived for twelve years, and Wei Che didn't know where she went. She felt the pillow wet, only to realize that she had shed tears in her sleep and wet the pillow towel.
She slowly curled up her body, feeling helpless and powerless. Why did Pei Die marry Lu Sichang, why did she betray her and betray her brother, Lu Sichang was the murderer who killed her brother...
The door of the room creaked and was pushed open, Ye Ruo didn't look back, she felt very tired, so tired that she didn't want to see anyone.
"Fifth sister, I heard that you fainted, but woke up?"
Surprisingly, it was Lu Fengqing's voice. Ye Ruo listened to the sound of the chair dragging behind her, and then Lu Fengqing walked behind her and sat down.
"Why are you here, I remember I don't have any friendship with you, if you want to see how embarrassed I am, you can go out."
Lu Fengqing was not angry, she was good-natured and said softly: "I didn't come to see your jokes, my eldest brother has been kind to me, and it is natural for me to come to see you." β
"Kindness? You're a nostalgic person. β
Ye Ruo said expressionlessly, now she only felt that she seemed to be the only one who remembered the previous things and never forgotten, and everyone had forgotten. Now I hear Lu Fengqing talking about the old feelings, but I feel ironic.
"The matter of the fourth aunt, I know you are very sad, but have you ever thought about what if Aunt Pei is pretending to approach her father and intend to avenge her eldest brother?"
