Lu Tong followed Ke's subordinates into the house, and Yinzheng stayed outside.

As soon as you enter the door, you will face a peony table, the garden of the Ke family's house is very large, the flowers are blooming just right, people walk in like entering the flowers, and the whole courtyard is fragrant.

Lu Tong lowered his eyes.

Lu Rou is allergic to pollen, and when she gets close, she will have a rash on her face. The Lu family has never found the shadow of a flower. However, Lu Rou likes flowers very much, so her mother used rags to tie a lot of fake flowers in a porcelain vase to decorate some colors.

But the Ke family doesn't seem to have such concerns, and the crowd is competing for beauty.

In the main hall, an elderly woman sat on a rosewood chair, with a long face, pointed and drooping eyes, and thin lips covered with lipstick. Wearing a long gown decorated with lychee red entwined grape patterns, and a heavy gold treasure gourd pendant in his ears, he was dressed up extraordinarily richly, and at a glance, he looked a little mean.

After a while, Lu Tong saluted lightly towards Old Madam Ke: "The little queen Yingying has seen the old lady. ”

Old Madam Ke didn't speak, and looked at Lu Tong condescendingly.

It was a young girl, dressed in a white-washed light brown kudzu gown, with an inconspicuous patch at her elbow, very shabby. Old Madam Ke's gaze fell on the white veil on Lu Tong's face, frowned slightly, and said, "What are you doing with the veil?" ”

"Yingying contracted an emergency on the way to Beijing, and the red rash on her face has not faded." Lu Tong said softly: "Don't dare to stain the old lady's eyes." ”

Seeing that there were indeed traces of rashes on her exposed neck, Old Madam Ke moved in her heart and waved her hand: "Then you stay away." The tone was unceremonious.

Lu Tong took two steps back as he said.

Mama Li on her side laughed, rubbing Mrs. Ke's shoulders and asking Lu Tong, "Where is Miss Yingying from?" ”

Lu Tong replied: "The little girl is from southern Jiangsu. ”

"Sunan?" Old Madam Ke glanced at her, "I haven't heard of any relatives in Southern Jiangsu from the Lu family. ”

"Sister Rou's mother is Yingying's cousin, and Yingying went to southern Jiangsu with her father when she was young. At that time, the mother was weak and the father was seriously ill, and the cousin once mentioned that the warbler would be treated as her own daughter, and if it was difficult in the future, she would go to Changwu County for help. Speaking of this, Lu Tong's voice was just right with a hint of sadness, "Now that my father and mother have died, Yingying has easily rushed to Changwu, only to know that my aunt has ......."

Old Madam Ke breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as Mama Li said, this Wang Yingying is a broken family who came to fight the autumn wind. I guess I want to cheat some money here.

Thinking of this, he lost his patience, so he said: "Since you came to find the Lu family, you know that the Lu family has already passed away, and there is no such person in the Ke family now." Besides," she smiled and said, "You said that the Lu family and you are like sisters, but I have never heard the Lu family mention such a person in the past, who knows if what you said is true or false?" ”

"The old lady doesn't have to worry, Yingying has lived in Changwu County for a while, and everyone in the neighborhood knows it. The old lady can ask people to go to Changwu County to inquire, and they will know the truth when they ask. ”

Old Madam Ke choked, and Mama Li next to her immediately spoke: "Girl, Mrs. Xian has gone, even if you want to defect, but now the uncle has already married the bride, and the fate of the Lu family has ended." A woman who has not left the cabinet stays in the Ke family, which is not clear, and if it spreads outside, it will also damage your reputation. She thinks that what she said is very reasonable, which girl doesn't care about Qingyu? Even if you want to fight the autumn wind, you have to weigh whether it is worth it.

Lu Tong's eyes flashed slightly.

Bride......

Lu Rou has only passed away for a year, and Ke Chengxing has remarried.

Her fingers clenched slightly in her sleeves, but a soft smile appeared on her face: "Yingying knows that her identity is embarrassing, so she naturally doesn't dare to stay in the Ke family." Fang Cai had already told the porter that he was here to take away his cousin's dowry. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the room.

After a while, Old Madam Ke slowly spoke: "What did you say?" ”

As if he didn't see her gloomy gaze, Lu Tong spoke softly: "My cousin was willing to raise Yingying in her name, and Yingying is also half of the Lu family. The uncle has already ended his relationship with his cousin and has become a stranger. The cousin has never given birth to a child, and the dowry should naturally be returned to the Lu family, and Yingying can take care of it on her behalf. ”

"Whenever a wife dies of illness, the husband's family should return the dowry of the deceased wife." Lu Tong raised his eyes and pretended to be surprised, "The Ke family has such a family business, they won't be reluctant to give up their cousin's little dowry, right?" ”

Her voice was not hurried, her posture was gentle and gentle, but it was like a scoop of hot oil poured down, which instantly aroused the anger of Old Madam Ke.

Old Madam Ke slapped the table: "Dowry? What dowry does she have? The daughter of a poor scholar, marrying into our family is already a high branch! If it weren't for my son's liking, why would my Ke family have such an in-law and make people around him laugh! It's just a fox face, if it weren't for ......"

Mama Li beside her coughed.

Old Madam Ke stopped her mouth, and suddenly sneered at the eyes of Shanglu Tong: "You keep saying that you are close to your sister, why don't you go and inquire, what is your sister?" ”

Lu Tong looked at her calmly.

"The Lu family entered my Ke family and did not abide by women's morals. Relying on his good looks, he openly seduced the son of Qi Taishi's Mansion in the store. doesn't look at how many catties and taels he has, how can Qi Gongzi look down on a woman like her. She was shameless herself, she was rejected by the princess, and ran out disheveled, and after the incident, she knew that she had no face. I couldn't stand it anymore and jumped headlong into the pool. But calling me the Ke family has become a joke in the capital! ”

When she said this, she became more and more excited: "The Lu family is a family, and there is no good thing." Her younger brother was a restless man, and after entering Beijing, he was caught by the government officials, and he was stealing money and committing adultery. What kind of scholarly family, a family of men and women thieves, there is no good thing! Deserve to die! ”

Old Madam Ke pointed to the peony table outside the door: "If she hadn't jumped into the pool and polluted the feng shui of my new house, why would I spend so much silver to fill the pool and plant peony instead." It's a pity that my pool of newly opened red ferns......" She pointed at Lu Tong again, and her voice was a little sharp, "If you want to find a dowry, go to your sister and ask for it, she Lu entered the door empty-handed, my Ke family has done her food and clothing, even if you sue the government, I am not afraid." Let's see if the official believes in your family's male thieves and prostitutes, or in our Ke family! ”

After the woman finished speaking, her chest rose and fell violently, and Mama Li hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back. She poured two more sips of fragrant tea, and then she relieved herself, glared at Lu Tong and said, "What else do you want to do?" Why don't you go quickly? Do you plan to stay in the Ke family with a dead face? ”

Lu Tong lowered his eyes: "Yingying understands." He turned and walked out of the hall.

Xu is noise was too loud, and Lu Tong just walked into the hall and bumped into a young woman head-on. This woman gave birth to a pretty melon seed face, painted with white fat powder, pointed and raised eyebrows, and wore an emerald blue horse-faced dress, which looked a little spicy. Her voice was also slightly high, her eyes turned suspiciously on Lu Tong, and she looked into the hall: "Mother, this is ......"

Mother......

Lu Tong's heart moved, Mrs. Ke only had one son, Ke Chengxing, this woman ...... It is Ke Chengxing's newly married wife.

Old Madam Ke coughed lightly: "It's just a distant relative." ”

Lu Tong's gaze stayed on the hairpin in the woman's hair for a moment, and then quickly moved away, ignoring the behind, and walked out of the hall without looking back.

Outside the door of Ke's house, Yinzheng was pacing back and forth restlessly, and when he saw Lu Tong coming out of it, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Girl, how is it?" ”

Lu Tong didn't speak, only urged: "Go." ”

Yin Zheng didn't know why, glanced at the door of the Ke family's house, and hurriedly left with Lu Tong.

After passing through the alley downstairs in Fengle, Lu Tong suddenly stopped, took off the white veil, and revealed his face covered with rashes.

"Girl," Yinzheng looked at her, "do you want to ask someone again......"

"No need to ask." Lu Tong said coldly, "My sister was killed. ”
