Chapter 202: Reminiscing about the Past
"Aunt Hua, then tell me, how did my mother die?"
Lu Xiyi has always had this doubt in her heart, and it will be difficult for her to sleep if she doesn't reveal it for a day.
"Madame...... The cause of death is strange, the old slave did not know, he was kicked out that year, after the eldest lady kicked me out, she sent a slave maid beside her to take care of the lady, and I don't know what happened later, if I can find this maid, maybe I may find out the real situation of the year! ”
Aunt Hua was quite excited when she said this, and grabbed Lu Xiyi's hand, Lu Xiyi nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, Aunt Hua, but you have to tell me first, this maid's appearance and hometown, it is estimated that she will not be in Lu Mansion now." ”
"On the night when I got my wife's accident, I wanted to enter the house to see her for the last time, but I happened to see that the slave maid was also kicked out, and now I should be about the same age, and a few years older than me, so I followed her all the way to the fishing village, and then disappeared."
Aunt Hua suddenly remembered something, her eyes widened slightly, and said: "I only know that her name is Xiuqin, and she also has a daughter, I don't know what her name is, and I don't know if she stayed in the Lu Mansion, in short, I don't know everything about the Lu Mansion later." ”
Aunt Hua shook her head sadly, and Lu Xiyi stroked her shoulder and said, "Aunt Hua, after all these years of leaving the Lu Mansion, why don't you go back to the countryside and find a place to settle down?" ”
"I always feel that the cause of my wife's death is strange, I have always wanted to enter Beijing, and I have always wanted to return to Lu Mansion to avenge my wife, but I didn't have a chance, I thought of Miss, I finally found out the news of Miss, how could I give up!"
Lu Xiyi's eyes gradually moistened, looking at Aunt Hua's loyalty to her mother, and her kindness to Aunt Hua became deeper and deeper.
"Aunt Hua, you can stay here for the time being, and if there is any news, I will tell you as soon as possible." After listening to this, Aunt Hua nodded frequently, and even took Lu Xiyi's hand and was reluctant to let go, and talked with her all night.
As soon as the picture turned, Shen Zhuosi heard Lu Xiyi say what was confusing about the Lu Mansion back then, rubbed his chin and muttered: "Why don't you leave this matter to me, I will definitely find the news of that old mother!" ”
"You have to take it easy, don't startle the snake, now is the sensitive time, my Xiaoyao Restaurant is also open, Lu Mingde's couple must be red-eyed, the last time Lu Ruoling came over, he tried every means to stir up trouble, and later he was brought back by the prince."
Shen Zhuosi shifted his gaze to Lu Xiyi's face, and when he saw that she mentioned the prince, the smug face of the spring breeze made people very stunned, and couldn't help but ask softly, "Do you like His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Lu Xiyi was caught off guard by his question, and hurriedly turned around and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"It's okay, I'll just ask casually, you just listen to it casually, this matter is on me, I must find out, okay, this place is not suitable for a long time, I will withdraw first." Lu Xiyi looked at Shen Zhuosi's back and shook his head.
At this time, Aunt Hua was in the backyard, looking at the old wine in a jar of wine, and couldn't help but sit on the side and think, Lu Xiyi stepped forward and said, "Aunt Hua, do you drink?" Why don't you try some, I make them myself. ”
Aunt Hua waved her hand and said, "I don't like to drink, but my wife loved to drink some osmanthus wine when she was alive." ”
"It turns out that my mother also likes to drink, so the amount of alcohol must be good."
Aunt Hua looked at her, and said with a gentle smile in her eyebrows: "You are the daughter of Mrs., I have seen this in you, Mrs. had a good amount of alcohol before her death, and you must have a good amount of wine, opening this wine shop and restaurant, proving that you are not only a good child, but also have business acumen, Mrs. will definitely feel gratified in the spirit of heaven." ”
Listening to her always mention her mother in a few words, her mood suddenly became heavy, and she wanted to find the real culprit as soon as possible.
Aunt Hua turned her head to look at her and said, "That Shen Gongzi is handsome and down-to-earth, are you on good terms with him?" ”
"I ...... What's the matter, Aunt Hua, don't talk nonsense. ”
Lu Xiyi turned around, Aunt Hua looked at her suddenly blushing face and knew what was going on, nodded and said, "I heard the conversation between the two of you, saying that you are ...... to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince You don't really have any interest in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you? ”
"Aunt Hua, if you say this again, I will really ignore you." Lu Xiyi got up and was about to leave, but Aunt Hua immediately stopped her and said: "Look at my old mouth, I shouldn't be nosy, I just want to see if you can leave the best home, after all, you are not young, and you are always a little tired alone." ”
Lu Xiyi knew that Aunt Hua loved her, just like her own daughter, so she stroked her shoulder with relief and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Hua, this matter of fate can only go with the flow, and no one can force it."
I have asked someone to find the evidence, and the time to collect evidence is a little difficult, but I believe that the sky has eyes, and the sky net is magnificent and not leaky. ”
"Miss, if you can have this heart, the old slave will already be very content."
At this time, Xiaoxue walked in with a big grin, looked at Lu Xiyi and said: "Shopkeeper, I went to that butcher shop today and found that many butcher shops on the street have closed. ”
"If you have swine fever, don't buy it for the time being, and other animals can't buy it, let's talk about it after a while."
Xiaoxue put down the basket she was carrying on her wrist, looked at Aunt Hua on the side and said curiously, "Who is this?" ”
"This is a distant relative of mine."
Lu Xiyi explained, and put a pair of hands on her shoulders and sent her out, "Okay, you go outside first to see if there is anything to be busy with, since you can't buy pork, let's see if you can buy it at other times, and I'll leave this matter to you, good." ”
"Hey......"
The screen turns.
Lu Ruoling was grooming, looking at Ding Lan behind him with an absent-minded look, he patted the table angrily and said, "What's the matter with you, you are absent-minded every day, in this case, I will send you to the firewood room." ”
When Ding Lan heard this, her knees weakened, and she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss spare her life, Ding Lan just misses her mother a little." ”
Lu Ruoling smiled sarcastically, turned around and said: "A cheap maid, what do you want your mother to do well in the Lu Mansion, if you want to think about it again, I will send you directly to the treasury and pour a spittoon." ”
Ding Lan trembled all over, but at this time she could only get up silently to groom her.
After getting angry, Lu Ruo was in a good mood, and he always had to reprimand his subordinates a few times a day, and suddenly thought that today was the day to make an appointment with the prince to travel, and when the time came, many daughters of famous families and nobles in the capital would come to participate.
When I came to Minglan Temple, I saw the prince at first sight, he was extremely dazzling in the crowd, like a new star.
