Lu Yingyue was picked up by Mrs. Hou from Suzhou three months ago, and the two sisters and brothers are currently getting along as Mrs. Hou's nephews and nieces in the Hou Mansion, and Yan Hou also acquiesced. Everyone in the house knew what was going on. Lu Xiyue is okay, after all, he is following Yan Hou, and he eats by strength, so there are naturally fewer people who chew his tongue under Hou Ye's appreciation. Lu Yingyue's family changed dramatically when she was a girl, and she has been under the fence for many years, and she has long lost the arrogance of the official lady.

Lu Xiyue was in Nanquan at that time, as soon as she saw her sister, she was almost overwhelmed by the blood, especially when she saw her old lady smiling and boasting, "Bao'er, look, I brought Zhu'er here, and our mother and son have been reunited since then." ”

Yan Hou is true love for her old lady, otherwise she would only smile on the side when she said such brainless words. Mother, you have a husband and invincible true love, and my sister and I have nothing to rely on.

And her sister, who is also brainless, also smiled with tears, as if this was a good thing. He held back his anger, and when the mother and son got along in private, they asked, "Madam, why did you bring Sister A?" What did my uncle's family say? ”

Mrs. Hou pouted her cherry mouth slightly, and her fingers stirred the handkerchief, and she said prettyly: "Don't you feel ashamed of your sister and brother when you look at it?" I sent a steward with a letter to my brother to bring Zhu'er back, and the two of them were affectionate. Besides, Zhu'er was originally the eldest daughter, and she didn't have to be a child, so I asked my brother to register Zhu'er separately, and it was said that Concubine Asong was sick and died. That's how I brought your sister. The implication was that he was happy to take revenge on his aunt.

Lu Xiyue had already given up communicating with his mother, and he had the strength to ask his sister: "Why did you agree?" ”

Lu Yingyue panicked, shouldn't it? This is my mother.

"What will my aunt and uncle think of our brother and sister? Ah Song - Are you worthy of Cousin Ah Song? You came to a land of thousands of miles as a woman so recklessly, and you don't have any relatives and six relatives, have you thought about what to do in the future? Could it be that you also want to make a good fortune? Do you think you have a good wife? ”

Lu Yingyue not only did not have the imaginary joy and sorrow of her relatives hugging her head and crying, but was reprimanded by her younger brother with her head and face, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to hang herself. Mrs. Hou held her chest and cried: "Are you complaining about me or me?"

Mrs. Hou cried so much that she almost turned her back, and the maid couldn't stop Mrs. Hou's tears, so she called Master Hou to comfort her for a night before giving up.

Lu Xiyue was so pretentious by her own mother that her head was about to explode. At the beginning, my father was cut and exiled, and my uncle paid to redeem his sister and brother and his mother, and raised his sister and brother for many years. What's more, cousin Ah Song has a deep love for his sister, what good can he marry as a criminal relative of his sister at that time? It's better to marry a soldier under your uncle, or a peddler or a pawn.

At the beginning, Ah Song's cousin hanged himself and went on a hunger strike to force his aunt to let go, although he was a concubine, he had always treated his sister well. Although my sister has a housemother, the old lady in the family is an uncle and aunt after all, and these layers of protection of the housemother dare not fight, so it is not a good life. But the old lady pretended to be smart and took her sister back, and her daughter was splashed with water when she married her, isn't this crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and bullying others?

Lu Xiyue can imagine her aunt's anger and Ah Song's disappointment, this family is broken. Besides, what can I do if I bring my sister back? She is neither a national beauty nor a talented woman, and her background is not good, not to mention that she is already a woman, and the fact that her mother's family has nothing is enough to choke.

Do all the brains of the people in your own family grow in men and not in women? Lu Xiyue thought desperately. My sister is so naked, and the clothes and jewelry on her body are all placed by Mrs. Hou, but Mrs. Hou can't give her a good dowry! She is not Yanhou's daughter, Yanhou still has two serious daughters, and sending a dowry according to Miss Biao's treatment is the ultimate favor of the Hou Mansion.

My sister has such a cowardly personality, and she can't sit in prison for the position of the head mother of a big family, who will support her if she is tortured? Where did she go back to complain and ask for help?

It's not all your own business. It is equivalent to Mrs. Hou who has made a heavy shackle for herself for no reason. Lu Xiyue sent a letter to her cousin in a depressed and ashamed manner, and replied with a few words, but the meaning was very resolute, the two brothers could still have a glass of wine when they met in the future, and other things should not be mentioned again.

Now in the small pavilion room, Lu Xiyue said to her sister seriously: "You and I are not serious relatives of Guangping Hou, but they are just two oil bottles, it is better to be justified in my uncle's house." ”

The younger brother's words made Lu Yingyue's face pale, and she tried her best to say to Lu Xiyue: "Brother, do you think I am an ungrateful person? But you don't know, I followed my cousin when I was sixteen years old, and it has been eight years now, and I have never been pregnant in eight years. In my old age, I am a helpless old aunt, what will happen to me? ”

Lu Xiyue listened to her sister's words, but she was about to laugh angrily: "Do you suspect that your aunt has drugged you?" Hello, you're good, you have this kind of careful thinking, and now I think it's good for you to leave, but let Ah Song live. ”

Their cousin has been writing letters for many years, and when Lu Xiyue was still in Huashi County, his cousin had a letter saying that his sister had injured her body when she was detained, and it was difficult to get pregnant. The cousin did not marry until three years later, and he has always had this wife and a concubine.

Last year, my cousin also sent a letter to Lu Xiyue to discuss, asking if he wanted to take a girl, and he didn't raise his aunt, so he hugged his sister in order to have a child, and both male and female sisters would have to rely on him in the future.

"Sister, you really want to rely on your wife to have a good marriage in the future, I advise you to be sober. The two young ladies who are serious about Hou Ye have begun to prepare for marriage this year, and you look at their husbands' families, how can you be so confident that a twenty-four-year-old concubine who used to be someone else's concubine can marry into a wealthy family? ”

One of Yan Hou's two concubines was married to the third concubine of the old Wei Guogong, but the other was married to the original uncle, Yan University's protégé, Dengzhou Zhixian. And Luo Song's father is a thousand households in Suzhou, and he is also a school captain, the border land of Suzhou, it is very easy to accumulate military merits, and every winter the nomads fight the grass valley, they can always behead a few, and under the command of their own father, the future will not be too bad.

"I... I don't have such a high spirit, but in ordinary days, I am satisfied to be the head lady of a small family. Lu Yingyue argued. This is also what Mrs. Hou said about her the most, Zhu'er, you were supposed to be Asong's serious wife, but now they are sorry for you, not you are sorry for them; My mother has no other skills, and I can always do it for you in the future. Help you settle into a good family, and your mother will be at ease.

"Bland? Small households? Lu Xiyue sneered: "Sister, can you still wear coarse linen clothes?" Can you not have a box of fat powder for a piece of jewelry? Can you count the money of the dish with a copper plate and a copper plate? You even have to do your own laundry and do needlework to subsidize the family, this is what about a small family, can you do it? ”

At my uncle's house, although my aunt was mean-mouthed, my cousin had always taken care of them in private, especially for Lu Yingyue, a little cousin who was a childhood sweetheart, sending soup, water, snacks, bedding and charcoal. After entering the door, it is a unique courtyard, gold, silver and jade, just like the treatment of a young grandmother.

"Cousin, where are you sorry? You just ran out like that? What are you so confused about? ”

Lu Yingyue was embarrassed, covered her mouth with her hands, and cried softly: "Brother, brother, don't say it, I, I'm sorry Asong... I want to die. ”

Lu Xiyue said ruthlessly: "You should be hanged with a rope when you leave Suzhou, so that everyone is clean." Now I guess you can't bear it. ”
