Chapter 102: Involvement
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
It was night, the icy wind blew as sharp as a knife on the face, and the lights in the courtyards went out earlier than usual this season.
A thin figure walked briskly through the backyard, the lantern in his hand making his figure look particularly thin in the dark night.
The figure finally stopped at the gate of an abandoned courtyard. Reaching out and pushing the door open, the old door creaked, matched with the whistling wind, more like a woman's low cry.
The figure hesitated momentarily at the door, but finally walked in.
After more than 100 years, several courtyards in this house have been gradually abandoned because they have been uninhabited and the location is remote. There was a dry well in the courtyard, and the dim light shone on the mouth of the well, and there seemed to be a cold cold light flowing.
The cloak on her body was taken off, revealing a woman's face, her facial features were unremarkable, and she walked to the mouth of the well and squatted down, took the candle and incense paper out of the bamboo basket she was carrying, and lowered her head to light it.
The wind will subside, and the surroundings will be quiet, only the unbearable cold will drill into the bones.
"Cui'er, if you die, reincarnate as soon as possible, don't be a maid in the next life, and be a good person."
The incense candle burned, and the light and dark light shone on the face of the woman squatting on the ground, flickering and dimming.
"Although I pushed you down into the well, you can't blame me, there is a debtor and a debtor, if you have to take revenge, go find the person who really killed you." The woman sighed softly, "You are dead, what is there to take revenge for." ”
When the words fell, the silence around them for a long time, and then a gust of wind rose, circling at the mouth of the well, making a whirring sound.
The woman watched the incense paper go out, then stood up and walked to the door, stretched out her hand to open the door, her face turned pale in an instant, her hand was loosened, the paper lantern fell to the ground, and the candle flame jumped and burned a flame, and after a moment only a cloud of ashes remained.
......
"What happened then, did you recruit it?" After listening to Chunlan's story, Bai Susu really didn't expect it.
Three days have passed since this incident in a blink of an eye, and that night Aunt Su waited at the door with someone and directly detained the person, it was none other than Qingmei beside Luo's side.
"That Qingmei refused to confess at first, and then I didn't know what method Aunt Su used, but she confessed." Chunlan said mysteriously, "I heard that Mama Tu was taken away that day." ”
Bai Susu nodded, and instructed Qingmei not to mention this matter again, after all, it may involve Luo's.
When Lu Zhiyuan came back in the evening, Bai Susu welcomed him in at the door as usual.
"No, you don't have to wait for me." Lu Zhiyuan reached out and took her hand and smiled at her.
Although he was smiling, the faint gloom between his eyebrows could still tell that he was not in a good mood at the moment.
"I don't have anything to do, so it's okay to go out for a walk." Bai Susu also smiled, "I ordered a beef pot in the evening." ”
The two entered the house together.
Lu Zhiyuan likes to eat spicy food, Bai Susu is pregnant, and if he eats too much, he can only eat a clear pot when he is too hot.
There was a difference in taste between the two, and this pot had not been eaten for a while. Bai Susu always chattered, and Chunlan revealed her meaning to the kitchen.
Chef Zhang was brought from Anyang, and he was a little depressed since he came to Lu Mansion, there were more than a dozen cooks in the Lu family's kitchen from top to home, and he was caught in it, which made people depressed.
He came from Anyang, Chunlan often came to the kitchen to order, and there was a bit of friendship from the same place, and the two were familiar with each other.
Once Chunlan inadvertently mentioned that Aunt Bai wanted to eat beef pot, but Lord Lu liked spicy food, so the two of them couldn't eat at separate tables.
Chef Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he only felt that he had found a way to get ahead. He racked his brains for days, not to mention really getting him to think of a good idea.
The original pot was an ordinary copper pot, and Chef Zhang added a partition to the pot to divide the whole pot into two halves.
Half of it is made of broth made from pork bones, a few slices of ginger and a few green onions are sprinkled for a few years, and the other half is the base of the pot made of butter and various sauces.
The beef was cut into thin square slices, and the side dishes were made with seasonal vegetables, and the table was filled with dishes.
The two of them ate very happily around the pot, their underwear was wet with sweat, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Lu Zhiyuan has been in a more irritable mood recently, there are many things in the yamen, there are also a lot of messes in the court, and the family is not worry-free. In the end, lest Cui'er leak things, Qingmei pushed her into an abandoned well.
Who is Mama Tu, Luo's henchman, since this matter has been pulled out of Mama Tu, what role does Roche play in it. He didn't go to see Roche and didn't want to know. It is obviously impossible for Mama Tu to do these things on her own, not to mention anything else, that is, the hundred days red is not something she can get.
Now that Mama Tu has confessed, it is only a matter of time to find out who is behind her, and she uses Aunt Su's means to force a person to tell the truth.
The beef pot is hot and salty, spicy and sweaty, and the body is a lot more comfortable, as if the irritability in the chest is also a little obvious with this rushing spicy.
After dinner, Lu Zhiyuan accompanied Bai Susu for a walk in the back garden to eliminate food.
Zhu Ping seemed to have something to tell him, and Lu Zhiyuan said a few words to him, and his brows were obviously furrowed.
When I came back, I continued to walk with Bai Susu, but I was obviously not in a good mood.
"Is there something wrong, second master, you have to do it in advance, I'll go back."
"It's not a big deal, I'll keep walking with you." Lu Zhiyuan smiled, held her somewhat cool hand, and walked for a while.
Bai Susu could see that he was preoccupied, and he couldn't bear to delay more, so he only said that he was tired, so he went back.
The smile on Lu Zhiyuan's face when he came out of the Hefeng Courtyard turned into a deep and heavy color, Zhu Ping would be waiting at the door, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him, "Madame is waiting for you in the study now." ”
Lu Zhiyuan nodded, didn't say anything, and walked directly towards the study.
In the study, Luo sat on a chair in a brocade robe, his face was covered with thick powder, his lips were red, his expression was wooden, and no matter how gorgeous the clothes were, he couldn't hide the corruption inside.
It has been three days since Mama Tu was taken away, and she kowtowed to her goodbye before leaving.
That's her grandmother, the love is unusual, always Tu Mama is occasionally a little cautious, but it won't hurt her. Even if it was really the person instructed by Mama Tu to poison Aunt Bai, it was for her, and she saved it.
Lu Zhiyuan returned to the study, but he hesitated when he stood at the door, a thin door, he had a hunch that he and Luo would be completely strangers after today.
After a pause, he pushed the door open.
"You come to me." Lu Zhiyuan walked into the house and spoke in a light tone.
Roche felt depressed for a while, pulled the corners of his mouth, wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh at all.
"I'm here for Mama Tu, please spare her life." Roche got up and knelt down in front of him.
Lu Zhiyuan frowned, didn't speak, but his expression was already cold.
"The evil servant of the femme fatale is also worthy of your knees and pleading. In your eyes, are the three words Mrs. Lu really so cheap? Lu Zhiyuan sneered.
Luo's heart throbbed, and his face turned a little pale, "What Mama Tu did, even if it was wrong in a thousand ways, was just the same, it was all for me." I can't leave it alone. ”
Lu Zhiyuan sneered, and his tone was even more indifferent, "For your sake, why don't you say that you instructed it." ”
Roche was startled and looked up at him sharply, as if he didn't believe that the words came out of his mouth.
"Second master, you and I have been married for many years, and you think of me like this." She hated or resented, but she still couldn't bear to really do it, no matter what, the child was Lu Zhiyuan.
"It's because you've been thinking about it for many years, so you can still be Mrs. Landing now." Lu Zhiyuan said indifferently.
Luo sat down and muttered for a while, "I thought you trusted me, but I didn't want it to be me." ”
"You go back."
Luo smiled bitterly, got up from the ground and staggered, her face was pale and bloodless, she suddenly laughed, "It's because I'm crazy and stupid, so I think you will have a little place for me in your heart." ”
"Roche!" Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her, frowned and scolded.
Luo didn't care about his displeasure at all, and still said to himself, "Do you think Mama Tu did something wrong, because she almost hurt the woman you care about." But have you ever thought about me, what's wrong with me, I have been married to you for six years, and outsiders say that I can't have children, but who knows that a woman who has been married for five years is still a virgin. ”
The more she talked, the more her mood fluctuated, and in the end, she cried and laughed directly, and Lu Zhiyuan watched coldly, as if looking at a stranger.
"I gave you a chance." After a long time, the man's voice sounded, and his tone was faint with a little disappointment.
He tried many times to open up to each other, but she broke his trust with her own hands again and again.
"Opportunity? What kind of opportunity is that, is it called a chance to give me a child? Roche tugged at his chest and tears flowed down his cheeks, "What I want is you, there is only one me by your side." Why can Aunt Bai get everything, it should be everything for me. ”
The disappointment in Lu Zhiyuan's eyes couldn't help but flow out anymore, "Do you think I can't figure it out when I dote on Aunt Bai, then I'll tell you the reason." You say that husband and wife are of the same mind, but how have you ever been of the same mind as me? ”
"I ......," Roche opened his mouth and was interrupted, "what did you do with your uncle's family, do you still need me to tell me." ”
Luo was stunned and subconsciously bit his lip, "What do you mean?" ”
Lu Zhiyuan sneered, "Your uncle's cousin bought and sold officials in the name of the Lu family, and you took a few percent of the dividends in it, do you think I really don't know anything if I don't say it?" ”
Luo's heart suddenly seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and he felt that the cold outside was not as cold as the cold air coming out of the cracks in his bones at the moment.
