When Dong Jiafu came out, she saw Lu Siheng sitting on the steps outside the door.

Hearing her footsteps, Lu Siheng turned around, smiled, and patted the cushion beside him, "Jiafu, come and sit here."

Dong Jiafu sat down as instructed, "Why are you sitting here if you don't want to stay in the house?"

"Get some sunshine, look how nice the weather is today." Lu Siheng twisted his body, took out a box of hibiscus cakes from somewhere, and put it on Dong Jiafu's lap, "You're tired, let's eat something."

The hibiscus cake is cut into small pieces, and oil paper is placed under each piece so that it can be eaten without touching your hands.

Dong Jiafu thought that this dim sum shop was quite attentive.

She picked up a piece and ate it, chewed a few mouthfuls and paused slightly, "Did you buy it from the same store as yesterday?"

"So awesome, you can taste this?" Lu Siheng stretched out his long legs, "I didn't buy it, it was made by the new chef I found."

"Did you really find a cook?" Dong Jiafu thought that was his excuse.

"Aunt Ruyi will live here in the future, so it will be more convenient to have a cook. But I specially found someone who can make hibiscus cake. Is it delicious?"

"Not bad," Dong Jiafu hesitated for a moment, "Why did you go out of your way to find someone who can make hibiscus cake?"

"Of course it's because you like to eat." Lu Siheng said with his eyes bent.

"It's not like I live here..."

"It would be good even if I could let you eat once when you come, like now."

Any girl would probably be touched by these words, and Dong Jiafu is no exception.

"Actually, you really don't have to do this for me. I...I'm afraid I will let you down."

"It's my business to like you, and I'm happy to do this for you. Even if the person you choose in the end is not me, I won't regret it." Lu Siheng looked at her and said seriously.

Dong Jiafu was very confused. She always thought that Lu Siheng thought she was interesting and often teased her deliberately. What he said he liked her might not be the same thing as what she wanted.

Seeing her staring at the hibiscus cake in the box without saying anything, Lu Siheng took the initiative to change the subject.

"You've been in there for so long, but have you seen the injuries on Aunt Ruyi's body?"

Dong Jiafu put down her unclear thoughts and nodded, "I see, there are many old injuries, and there are also some new injuries from bumps. I have already applied medicine to her, and she will be fine in a few days. You don't have to worry."

"That's good," Lu Siheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Aunt Ruyi took care of my mother and me when we were young. She and my mother were not masters and servants, but more like sisters. Later, Lu Hao went to war, and it wasn't long before she She also left. I cried to find her, but my mother told me that Aunt Ruyi went back to her hometown to get married and could no longer be with us."

"I thought she was like most people, living an ordinary life of caring for her husband and raising children. I didn't expect that she ended up in a pit of fire and suffered so many years of torture."

Lu Hao? He actually called his father's name directly. It seemed that there was a deep gap between father and son.

Dong Jiafu comforted her calmly: "She has indeed suffered a lot. Fortunately, she is free now and has found you again. You will definitely let her spend the rest of her life peacefully."

"Aunt Ruyi told you everything?"

"Well," Dong Jiafu nodded and responded, "She is a poor person."

"It seems that Aunt Ruyi likes you very much. She is even willing to tell you these things. It took me a long time before she was willing to speak."

"In the past two days, because she found out about my mother and I, she was so sad that she cried and fainted several times."

"Jia Fu, thank you for coming. I talked to you. She should be much better."

Dong Jiafu saw sadness in Lu Siheng's eyes as he spoke one sentence after another.

"I didn't do anything. You once said that you and your mother depended on each other, even after Aunt Ruyi left?"

"Yes, Lu Hao was not around at that time, and my mother did not want to ask for help from people in the Hou Mansion, so she took care of everything by herself."

Dong Jiafu couldn't help but sigh, "You and Aunt Ruyi are worlds apart. You think the other is living a good life, but you don't know that both are going through hardships..."

Her shoulders suddenly sank, Dong Jiafu turned her head in surprise, only to see Lu Siheng face down, leaning his forehead against her.

As soon as she raised her hand, she heard his muffled voice, "Jiafu, I'm so sad, can you please give me a moment? Just for a moment..."

The Lu Siheng she saw had always been lively and lively. Although she knew that he had many things hidden in his heart, she had never seen him so helpless.

Dong Jiafu gradually lowered her raised hand, turned her head and looked quietly at the blue sky in the distance.

For a moment after Lu Siheng's words, when he collected his emotions and raised his head, Dong Jiafu felt that half of her body was numb.

When leaving, Lu Siheng saw her out and asked her to take the box of hibiscus cakes with her.

Lu Siheng went to see Ruyi after returning to the house.

"Young Master, is Miss Dong gone?"

Seeing that she finally had a smile on her face, Lu Siheng felt relieved.

"Let's go. Aunt Ruyi, don't call me young master. I will be twenty-six years old after the Chinese New Year. I'm not young anymore."

"It's my fault that I didn't change my words for a while. I didn't expect that when we meet again, the young master is already an upright man, and he has reached the age where he should start a family." Ruyi said meaningfully, "I think Miss Dong is very good, and the young master also likes her." Right?"

"Aunt Ruyi noticed it." Lu Siheng was very calm.

Ruyi smiled and nodded, "It couldn't be more obvious. The young master has good taste, Miss Dong has good looks, a good background, and most importantly, a good heart. When will you marry someone?"

"It's a pity that she only treats me as a friend. I'm also worried that I'm not worthy of her and can't give her happiness." Facing Ruyi, who is like a family member, Lu Siheng finally spoke out the words buried deep in his heart.

Ruyi was shocked and said, "Why do you have such an idea, sir? You are the prince of the Hou family, and you are now in an important position. Your appearance is outstanding, and you are the perfect match for Miss Dong."

"The young master of the Marquis Mansion is just a concubine, born from an outside wife. But she is the legitimate daughter of an official family, and she has been loved by the whole family since she was born..."

Ruyi sat on the bed and clutched the edge of the bed tightly, "Master, are you blaming your mother for not giving you a good background?"

"I didn't," Lu Siheng hurriedly denied, "I have never complained about my mother at all. She was not wrong. The person who was wrong was Lu Hao!"

He still can't forget the words that others pointed at and scolded him when he was a child. It was all because of his so-called father.

Everyone said that Lu Hao loved his mother so much. Why would he marry another woman if she was so cute? Why let her be a nameless and anonymous outsider?

Why give birth to him? !

"Young Master, please don't think like this. The Marquis also has his own last resort..." Ruyi said sadly, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you and the girl in the first place. Otherwise, the Young Master wouldn't have suffered so much. Miss I won’t leave early..."

Lu Siheng came to his senses and said, "What did aunt say? What does this have to do with you? You wanted to get married at that time and you couldn't help it."

"No, if I had fought hard not to go back, so many things wouldn't have happened..." Ruyi cried bitterly, for their mother and son, and for herself.

Seeing this, Lu Siheng was secretly annoyed that he shouldn't have said so much. Aunt Ruyi finally felt better, but it made him sad again.
