Lu Jiayue went back to Chuntang House alone.

On the night of mid-spring, the wind is still a little cool, with the fresh breath of grass and dew, caressing the cheeks, making people's minds also clear and transparent.

Lu Jiayue finally understood why Sun Bingyuan would marry his concubine Sun Xueru to Qu Rong.

And why, in the previous life, the Qu family was all destroyed, but only the second room of the Qu family was safe and sound.

In the past, she naively thought that it was because the second room was married to the Sun family, and she had already broken with the other three rooms of the Qu family, moved out, and set up her own door, so she was spared when the Qu family suffered destruction.

But now it seems that the real reason why the second room was spared was that the second master Qu Xian was greedy for power and had already secretly taken refuge in the King of Wei, so he would saddle the horse and be a lobbyist for the King of Wei, and it was precisely because of his loyalty to the King of Wei that he received Sun Bingyuan's charity and wooing in disguise, and married his concubine Sun Xueru to Qu Rong.

However, what makes Lu Jiayue really feel hateful is that when the Qu family was destroyed in the previous life, although the second room had set up its own door, it was impossible not to know the situation of the Qu family, since Qu Xian had already taken refuge in the King of Wei, why had he never heard of him pleading for the King of Wei for the life of the Qu family?

He didn't save him when he saw death, and let the King of Wei destroy the Qu family.

In the end, it is a close relative whose blood is thicker than water, and the people in the second room are so ruthless, is it because of Qu Hong's refusal that Qu Xian's selfish desire for money and property has been cut off, so that he has resentment and disregards blood and family affection?

The night was deep, and suddenly a gust of wind blew the wind lamps under the wall and swayed, casting a messy light and shadow in the alleyway.

Lu Jiayue's clear eyes have perseverance and firmness that have never been revealed.

The things of the past life have become a cloud of smoke, and the mistakes of the past cannot be repeated in this life.

If you really can't turn things around and can't save the Qu family, then the second room can't be left alone like in the previous life.

If you want to live, let's live together.

If you want to die, you have to die together, and no one should try to escape.

The next day, Lu Jiayue went to visit Qu Ying.

Qu Ying really didn't look sick, she looked as usual, just nestled in the house, a little lazy.

Lu Jiayue gave one of the mutton fat white jade bracelets to Qu Ying, and said with a smile: "What is my sister's disease?" Doctor Cheng has come to see it? What did he say? ”

Qu Ying's face suddenly turned red, and he said hesitantly: "It's not that I just feel the wind and cold... It's just that it doesn't matter, just drink the medicine for two or three days. ”

Lu Jiayue shook her head and hesitated: "Imperial Doctor Cheng's medical skills are good, but this time the illness for my sister doesn't seem to be quite right. ”

"When did you understand medical science, Doctor Cheng said that it was wind cold, then it was wind cold." Qu Ying hugged the lake-green crepe quilt and leaned on the bed, smiling and glancing at Lu Jiayue.

"Ah..."Lu Jiayue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and she thought for a moment, "I don't know if there is a word of lovesickness in the ancient medical books?" If a person suffers from this disease, how can he be cured? ”

Qu Ying's face suddenly turned red.

His own heart was actually seen through by Lu Jiayue.

She didn't want to go to the palace to go to the spring banquet, just because she already belonged to her, so she didn't want to let others look at and choose.

But her aunt Qu Yi invited her, and her mother Meng Shi urged her, so she had no choice but to pretend to be sick and cover up, so as to avoid this time.

I thought that my illness was cleverly pretended, and my mother Meng didn't notice the clue, but she was broken by Lu Jiayue, a little girl.

It's a shame.

Raising his hand and nudging Lu Jiayue, Qu Ying smiled: "You just have to make fun of me now, if you have a sweetheart in the future, I don't come to make fun of you every day." ”

"My sister is finally willing to admit it." Lu Jiayue also smiled.

But I couldn't help but think... My sweetheart... Who could it be?

In the past, when she was ignorant and naïve, she was also like an ordinary boudoir woman, and she admired handsome young people such as Qu Rong. Now that he is reincarnated as a human being, he will no longer be as ignorant and superficial as in his previous life, judging people by their appearance.

But if there must be a sweetheart, what would he be like...?

Lu Jiayue actually had a little longing in her heart.

In a trance, a pair of warm eyebrows and a face as warm as a spring breeze suddenly flashed in front of him.

He...?

No, no, it can't be!

Lu Jiayue laughed self-deprecatingly.

Are you confused?

He is an elder, and although he has always been easy-going and tolerant towards himself, but yesterday in Chonghua Palace, he looked at him with such deep and cold eyes...

After all, he is not a person who can let himself be unguarded and open his heart to get close.

Fortunately, I won't see him often in the future, and if I meet him by chance, just stay away.

After two days, after finding a vacancy where the Duan family was not in the courtyard of the second room, Lu Jiayue asked Yuxiang to quietly invite Yuping to the back garden of the Qu family.

The back garden is quiet, few people come and go, and the three of them meet in the Fengwan Pavilion.

Lu Jiayue sat leaning on the railing, Yuxiang stood aside, and Yuping lowered her head slightly, standing in front of Lu Jiayue with a wary expression.

Lu Jiayue didn't speak, just with a faint smile, she looked at the jade screen from head to toe.

It wasn't until Yuping was looked at uncomfortably for a while that he finally opened his mouth first.

"I wonder what happened to Miss Cousin calling me? There's still work to be done in the second lady's house, and I have to hurry back... Otherwise, the second lady will come back, and I will be counted. ”

Lu Jiayue didn't plan to go around in circles with Yuping, so she smiled and said straight to the point: "How old is your cousin now, what errands are you doing outside?" ”

Yuping's expression was dazed, and he raised his eyes to look at Yuxiang, the corners of his mouth twitched for a long time before he said, "... He's just doing some drudgery to help people run errands... Miss Cousin asked what he did? ”

Lu Jiayue smiled leisurely: "You can't even look down on the fourth young master's room, thinking about your cousin, I naturally want to be an adult." ”

Yuping looked at Lu Jiayue's smiling and solemn appearance, and after a burst of surprise in her heart, she secretly pondered.

She was not a stupid person, Yuxiang invited her to the back garden, and when she saw Lu Jiayue and others here, she understood a little in her heart.

This young lady must have heard something and wanted to find out from her.

It was something that only she knew, but she couldn't say it easily.

Hearing Lu Jiayue mention her cousin and talk about the beauty of adulthood, she knew that Lu Jiayue was tempting her with this advantage.

But she is the maid of the second room, and she has been by the side of the second lady Duan for several years, how dare she betray the Duan family easily? Not to mention the beauty of adults, which is easier said than done.

When she was sold into the Qu family, she signed a death deed, and got a sum of money for selling herself, and she and her parents bought a few acres of thin fields in the countryside, which can be regarded as supporting the family.

If she wants to regain her freedom now, unless the Qu family returns the death deed to her, and she returns the money she sold several times to the Qu family, she can completely get rid of the Qu family.

She is loyal to the Duan family in the past few days, and it is precisely because the Duan family is the mother of the second room, although the Qu family is the fourth lady Fang who presides over the middle feed, the master of a maid, the Duan family still does it.

And Lu Jiayue is just a cousin who lives in the Qu family, even if the old lady loves her, she is not qualified to meddle in the affairs of a maid.

After thinking about it, he could only rely on the Duan family.

"I don't know where Miss Cousin heard some rumors, since I have sold myself into slavery with the Qu family, I have nothing to do with my cousin anymore."

Yuping whispered and glanced at Lu Jiayue.

Lu Jiayue was not surprised at all, and said with a smile as usual: "Why do you say these words against your will in front of me, if I tell you, not only can I return your freedom, but I can also give you a sum of money, so that after you go back to your hometown and marry your cousin, you can use this money to do some small business, and you don't have to be a slave or a slave, do you believe it or not?" ”
