"Great, Baohua's legs are completely fine, right? I don't think it's any different from ordinary people, it's not lame at all. ”

The people in the house all attached themselves to E-Niang and said something auspicious to please her.

Xue Yan also leaned over and said, "Sister's leg is good, don't you have to lie down all the time?" ”

Eniang took over the conversation, and her tone was rarely soft: "That's natural, but don't be careless, you have to take it step by step, just walk a few steps in the house these days, and then go downstairs when it's safe." ”

Of course, Lu Yang has no opinion.

That is, the day after she was able to walk a few steps on the ground, the second aunt Meng finally came back from her parents' house with her cousins.

Don't look at Meng's mother of three children, but she is only in her early twenties, she and Xue Donghai became married in a small fishing village as soon as she was married, and she had children as soon as she became a parent.

The first child gave birth to a daughter, named Xue Min, two years younger than Lu Yang, and after two years, she gave birth to a son, named Xue Liming, and gave birth to a daughter the next year, named Xue Zhen, who is only two years old now, and is still held in Meng's arms.

She was born tall and strong, half a head taller than Eniang, who was not short, and even two points taller than her husband Xue Donghai.

Listening to Xue Min, the people in her grandfather's family are all very burly, and even Xue Min is taller than other people's children, only five years old, standing with Lu Yang, everyone will think that Xue Min is the eldest one.

Maybe it's because Meng's skin is not white by nature, or it may be because she has been fishing by the river since she was a child, and she has been married to Xue Fu for six years, Meng's skin is still a little darker than ordinary people, but she has a good face, like a full moon, amiable to look at, and looks healthy, simple, friendly and festive.

It happened that Lu Yang's leg injury was almost healed, so Xue Dongyuan asked the Lu family, who was in charge of the feed, to arrange a table to receive the wind, and on the night of Meng's return, the two people sat together and had a reunion dinner.

A large table of various dishes was set up full of tables, and in front of Lu Yang, they were all the original Xue Yang's favorite foods, but whenever she glanced at which dish she looked at, the green branch behind her quickly sandwiched it into Lu Yang's bowl.

She just needs to be in charge of eating.

Xue Yang had never seen Xue Zhen before, and when she was taken captive, Xue Zhen had not yet been born, so Lu Yang also saw her for the first time.

She looks very thin, her face is very bad, she doesn't like to eat anything that Meng feeds her, she cries when she feeds her two more bites, and her crying is very small, like a newborn kitten, pitiful.

Xue Donghai saw that his wife only cared about taking care of Xue Zhen and didn't have time to eat, so he hugged Xue Zhen over and fed it himself, and let Meng eat first.

Xue Min is the same as a little adult, she doesn't use a maid to do it, she picks up the vegetables by herself, and she doesn't forget to take care of her younger brother Xue Liming next to her, she is obviously used to taking care of her on weekdays, she knows Xue Liming's preferences, he eats anything for him, and he doesn't make trouble, the sisters and brothers sit next to each other, eat Si Wenwen's, and don't have to worry about others at all.

On the other hand, in the big room, in addition to Xue Dongyuan, the three mothers and daughters of Huiniang were all waited by maids, and there was a maid standing behind each of them.

Lu Yang took all this into his eyes, and felt a little emotion in his heart: "The relationship between the second uncle and the second aunt is really good, the second aunt is very good at teaching children at a glance, and the family is enviable when they look at it happily." ”

She went home for more than three months, but she had never seen Aunt Lu, she heard that when the Lu family entered the door, Xue Dongyuan had set a rule that the Lu family was not allowed to set foot in the painting garden and Mingxi Hall, at that time she felt that this must be Xue Dongyuan protecting the Lu family, so that the Lu family did not have to ask the master mother for peace, nor did he have to perform the concubine room in front of the painting mother.

Moreover, Xue Dongyuan also handed over the middle feed to the Lu family to take care of, so that she could enjoy the treatment of the master mother, which was clearly painting the face of the mother.

Lu Yang knew that he was very reluctant to get close to Xue Dongyuan for a while in the future, and felt that he was sorry for Painted Niang.

But later, Xue Dongyuan Xu saw that she was in a mood, and actually explained the matter of the Lu family to Lu Yang in person, he said this: "Baohua, do you know why the father detains the three of you mother and daughter in the Painting Garden and Mingxi Hall, and you have to be covered with a veil when you enter and exit, and you are not even allowed to go out of the mansion?" ”

Xue Yang hadn't asked this question before, she thought at first that the women in every household were the same as her, and they didn't step out of the door, but since Xue Min, who loves to run and jump like a monkey, grew up day by day, and went to play with his father Xue Donghai to the leather store every once in a while, Xue Yang began to wonder.

She asked her parents, but Xue Dongyuan prevaricated on the grounds that 'it's better for women not to show their heads, this is everyone's beautiful demeanor', and said that Xue Min is a wild monkey and can't learn from her, and it's right to learn from Eniang.

Lu Yang, who had Xue Yang's memory, thought that this was Xue Dongyuan's possessiveness and machismo, and he didn't want others to see Hui Niang's beauty, so he asked Hui Niang to wear a veil, and even took her daughter to learn from her, which became a habit, and finally became the rule of the big house.

Could it be that I guessed wrong? Lu Yang was very curious, and Xue Dongyuan said earnestly: "Actually, there is a reason for this, because my father didn't want to tell you, but if you don't say it today, I'm afraid that you will be the same as your mother, and you will have to be separated from me." You have been smart since you were a child, and you should have thought in your heart, why is your mother's surname Lin, but your grandfather's surname is Wu? ”

"Your mother's surname is not Lin, her surname is Wu, her name is idle and idle, speaking of which, your mother's life is also hard, your grandmother died on the day your mother was born, and it was your grandfather who raised your mother alone, and she never renewed her life."

"Your grandfather was still an official of the imperial court, he was honest all his life, and he offended many corrupt officials, and those corrupt officials harmed their interests, so they framed your grandfather, saying that he was corrupt and perverted the law, and engaged in favoritism, and put your grandfather in prison, and finally died in prison, and he did not clear his name until he died."

"My father was just an inconspicuous nursing home of the Wu family back then, he had no power and no power, and he couldn't save your grandfather, but your grandfather saw the opportunity early and gave me all the money he had saved as an official over the years, and entrusted your mother to me, let me take your mother and family to escape, leave him alone."

"I took your mother and relatives all the way to Datong Mansion, changed your identity for your mother, and hid your mother in the inner house. Because your mother was born so beautiful, there were villains who wanted to ...... your mother back then."

When Xue Dongyuan said this, his expression was all kinds of gritted teeth and dark resentment, "My father is worried that he will attract the attention of others, find out what happened back then, and then send your mother to the prison or the sect as the daughter of a sinner, so I will spread rumors to the outside world, saying that your mother is sick and ugly, and no one is allowed to step into the Painting Garden and Mingxi Hall at will." ”
