"Yes!"

Lu Lianzhi and Lu Shangxuan actually admitted in unison.

There was no hesitation.

Dou Lianyi lowered his eyes, hid the sarcasm in his eyes, raised his hand and touched Dong Ge'er's head with pity, and said softly: "It turns out that our poor Dong Ge'er is really an orphan, but it doesn't matter, my mother will be good to you." ”

The word "orphan" stung everyone present except Dou Lianyi, especially Dong Ge'er, who had just been slapped by his own mother.

From just now to now, Dong Ge'er has never spoken again, but his eyes have been hovering between Lu Lianzhi and Lu Shangxuan with resentment.

He obviously has a father and a mother, and he is standing in front of him, why don't they recognize him!

This was the first time that Lu Lianzhi didn't dare to look directly at Dong Ge'er, she swallowed her saliva weakly, and unconsciously wanted to get close to Lu Shangxuan's side.

It's just that Lu Shangxuan was also upset because of this sudden play, and he didn't like Lu Lianzhi's view, so he walked aside with a cold face, and also avoided Dong Ge'er's gaze.

Seeing this, Lu Lianzhi could only silently swallow this bitter fruit made by herself.

"Humph!"

Seeing this situation, no matter how arrogant and domineering he was on weekdays, Dong Ge'er felt a little uncomfortable at this time, not to mention that everything that was so embarrassing was seen by Fu Qing, which made him even more unbearable.

After snorting coldly, he shook off Dou Lianyi's arm, turned around and rushed out.

"Brother Dong, where are you going!"

Lu Lianzhi subconsciously wanted to chase her out, but was blocked by Dou Lianyi at the door, looked at her with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so concerned about Dongge'er's affairs, after all, he is my child, and I should care about it." ”

Forced by Dou Lianyi's momentum, Lu Lianzhi bit her lip, couldn't help but take a step back, and lowered her head in a sneering manner, "Sister-in-law is right." ”

"Mother, you have a good rest, I'll go see Dong Ge'er."

After that, Dou Lianyi didn't even glance at Lu Shangxuan, turned around and walked out.

After walking a few steps, she saw that Fu Qing did not follow, and when she looked back, she found that he was still stunned and motionless.

Dou Lianyi's heart was relieved, and he frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to him.

"Fu Qing, come over to my mother's side."

Fu Qing raised his head, and his little face was slightly tangled.

But after a while, he had already restrained his emotions, and walked to Dou Lianyi's side obediently, holding her hand.

"Don't think about it too much," Dou Lianyi led Fu Qing for a while, she suddenly said lightly: "If what I just said makes you feel uncomfortable, don't take it to heart." ”

She actually didn't ignore the loss that flashed in Fu Qing's eyes when she said "orphan" just now.

But Dou Lianyi couldn't take care of it too much at that time, since Lu Lianzhi had buried a pit for herself, she naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and push it again.

As for hurting Fu Qing because of this, Dou Lianyi could only wait until there was no one around before apologizing to him.

"It's okay young lady," Fu Qing clenched Dou Lianyi's hand slightly, and responded in a somewhat confused tone: "My parents died when I was a child, and if I hadn't survived if I hadn't been given a bite of food by a kind person, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the county king's mansion later, so I would have been relieved that I was an orphan." ”

Speaking of this, Fu Qing also comforted Dou Lianyi: "Young lady, don't rest assured." ”

Dou Lianyi didn't speak again, but pursed his lips in a little complicated heart.

She clenched Fu Qing's hand, although she already knew that embarking on this path of revenge would definitely hurt other innocent people, but now she couldn't turn back.

When Fu Qing was sent back to the courtyard, she was a little bored, so she asked Bai Zhi to go back to the courtyard first, leaving her to walk around at will.

It wasn't until she was walking and was blocked by a closed courtyard door in front of her that she looked up and realized that she had actually walked to the bamboo garden.

The bamboo garden is located in the backyard, which is probably the earliest time to be built, and it is in a remote place, many things in it are a little dilapidated, especially on weekdays, those bamboos are not taken care of, so they are very fresh and wanton.

In the past, the Lu family would occasionally go in to escape the heat in the middle of summer, and then I don't know when it began, some people passed by there in the middle of the night and often heard inexplicable crying, and even faint women's singing.

There are even more unlucky people who have seen a dark shadow floating in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, which can make several maids faint with fright, and after waking up, they all call out that there are ghosts in the bamboo garden.

Over time, even the Lu family was too unlucky to go inside.

Only Dou Lianyi himself knew that the bamboo garden was not as terrifying as it was outside, and those so-called cries were just that there were few people inside, so the night owls built their nests here, and when someone passed by, they were frightened, and they would naturally fly up and become the terrible black shadow in the mouth of the subordinates.

As for the woman's singing voice, it is because the bamboo garden is close to the back alley, and not far from an alley is the "Spring Building".

But because of this, the bamboo garden has become the best place for Dou Lianyi to go when he is depressed in his last life.

I didn't expect to be reborn once, and I came here again.

Dou Lianyi pushed open the gate of the bamboo garden in front of him with a light push, and the big lock hanging on it was like a void.

After stepping into the bamboo garden for a few steps, I felt that the inside was cooler than the outside, and the cold hairs on my body stood up when the autumn wind blew.

Fortunately, he was still wearing a cloak on his body, and Dou Lianyi subconsciously wrapped the cloak tightly, bypassed a large bamboo forest, and walked towards the bamboo pavilion not far away.

There is a clear spring next to the bamboo pavilion, like a piece of turquoise jade, which looks cool and refreshing, and with the autumn breeze blowing, the water surface occasionally ripples faintly.

There are still a lot of wildflowers around, but because it has passed the cold and dew season, it looks a little decadent, Dou Lianyi stopped and looked at the spot for a while, and the depression in his heart gradually dissipated a lot.

After a while, Dou Lianyi took a deep breath, bent down and patted the dead leaves on the corner of his skirt, and when he turned to leave, his expression had returned to calm, and he didn't see the previous entanglement.

The autumn wind swept through the bamboo forest and made a rustling sound, and the sound of the gate of the bamboo garden being closed again was heard in the distance.

After a while, a slender figure walked out of the depths of the bamboo forest slowly, and the ivory fan hanging from his belt swayed slightly as he walked.

"Interesting."

He chuckled lowly, his eyes full of amusement as he looked at Dou Lianyi's departing back.

By the time the autumn wind returned, the figure had disappeared.

And that day, Lu Lianzhi returned to the yard in embarrassment, and fired a lot of fire at the people in his yard.
