Herb Family [Rebirth]

After Uncle Lu and Mrs. Lu made a decision, Mrs. Lu sent her confidants to the Xu family in the capital the next day.

Lu Qi, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that his parents had decided to sacrifice his legs so that he would never be able to stand up again for the rest of his life.

Right now, he and Bai Heng are living in the courtyard of Xu's family, living a low-key life.

Since that day when I went to the main courtyard to greet them, Mrs. Xu never sent anyone to invite them for several days. Lu Qi and Bai Heng were also happy to nest in the courtyard without having to deal with Xu's family.

Greetings that day allowed Lu Qi and Bai Heng to understand the nature of the Xu family to some extent. The old lady was indifferent to everyone. The fourth lady was even worse.

The two are concubines and daughters-in-law, and they have no face in front of the old lady. Although the old lady will not make them look bad in person, her unfriendly attitude also makes people know that she does not like concubines and daughters-in-law.

In the high gate compound, there are always some slaves who praise the high and trample the low. The attitude of the old lady is the indicator of the behavior of the subordinates. Even the maids in the old lady's house don't think much of the second lady and the fourth lady. Eye.

It's just that the old lady respects the rules, and the maids don't dare to embarrass the two ladies, but everyone knows what's going on in their hearts.

It should be said that the second lady and the fourth lady didn't want to come to the main courtyard to be angry with the old lady, but the word filial piety was on her head, and the old lady had some friendship with Su Wang Taifei, so in order to compete for the place to accompany the son to read this time, Even if they are made things difficult, the two wives still have to go to the main courtyard from time to time.

It's just that they didn't expect that not long after the news came out, the old lady and the old lady quickly decided on the candidate. Now not only the second lady and the fourth lady, but also the eldest lady and the third lady are quite critical.

When they saw that the candidate chosen by the old lady was a cripple, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the four ladies rose rapidly. If it weren't for the identities of the old lady and the old master, they would definitely fight for it.

Especially the eldest lady, because of this incident, she was reprimanded by her husband, which made her feel even more resentful.

So that day's greetings, she was picky about Lu Qi's eyes are not eyes, nose is not nose.

Lu Qi could also feel her displeasure, and made a silent note in his heart that he would stay away from the eldest lady in the future.

As for the other wives, they seemed to smile gently on the surface, and spoke kindly to him, but both Lu Qi and Bai Heng noticed the contempt and contempt flashing in their eyes from time to time.

Only the old lady had the strangest attitude.

The old lady's attitude can be said to be very good, but the indifference and pity in her eyes made Lu Qi and Bai Heng more vigilant.

Because she knew what kind of temperament the old lady had, the gentleness shown by the old lady at this time was really too surprising, and at the same time she couldn't help but feel a little shivering down the spine.

Lu Qi and Bai Heng thought about it almost at the same time, the old lady must have something to ask for such an expression.

And the gentler the old lady's attitude, the bigger the thing she asked for.

Lu Qi and Bai Heng thought it right, and after the two of them nestled in the yard for a few days, the maid from the old lady's yard came again.

This time the old lady only invited Lu Qi to talk, so Bai Heng had to obediently stay in the yard.

After Lu Qi gave Bai Heng a look of "don't worry", he let the servants of the Xu family push the wheelchair to the old lady's yard.

After Lu Qi left, Bai Heng called Bai Zhong in, and Bai Heng asked in a low voice, "How's your inquiry going?"

Bai Zhong replied softly: "Young master, I have been around a few times these days, the population in Xu's mansion is very tight, and I haven't found any useful information."

"I don't blame you. With a family like Xu's family, there is a way to control servants, but don't be discouraged, just be careful not to let people notice that you are looking for information." Bai Heng said lightly.

Bai Zhong nodded in response.

After Bai Heng explained a few words, he waved his hand to let Bai Zhong back down.

In fact, he also thought about it for a long time before he decided to ask Bai Zhong to inquire about the news. Firstly, it was because Mrs. Xu's attitude made people feel uneasy, and secondly, it was also considered as an experience for Bai Zhong.

Bai Zhong has followed him since he was a child, and has not seen much of the world. Now that he has the opportunity to come to the capital, not only him, but also the people around him must gain some experience.

Besides, compared with Xu's, Baifu's population is simpler, but there are some intrigues and petty troubles.

After coming to the Xu Mansion, the reason why Bai Heng let Bai Zhong out was to let him listen and see more, and he dared not say how much he had learned, so he could recognize the tricks when he saw them in the future.

The Xu Mansion has a large population, each house is friendly on the surface, but there is a mess of fighting in private, and there are endless intrigues among the servants. In such an environment, it is the best test and experience for a person's character.

Bai Heng looked at his little palm, Bai Zhong was the first step in his change, if he wanted to glorify the Bai family and avenge his past life, he had to have someone who could use him.

I hope Bai Zhong will not live up to his expectations. ...

Lu Qi followed the servants of the Xu family to the main courtyard of the old lady.

After entering the house, I found that there were only the old lady and an old mother in the house.

The servant girl pushed Lu Qi to the front of the old lady, and she also blessed Fu and retreated.

Lu Qi secretly guessed the reason why the old lady invited him here, but he didn't show it at all on his face, only showing just the right admiration, and shouted, "Grandmother."

"Qi'er is here." Mrs. Xu held the corner of her mouth, revealing a half-smile.

And the old mother behind the old lady also said with a smile: "The young master looks really fresh, his eyes and nose are like a big girl, and his mouth is like a big uncle."

Lu Qi was secretly funny when he heard this, the old mother didn't change her face when she told a lie, how could he be like Madam Lu?Especially the eyes, according to the maid who tipped him off, his eyes looked the most like his biological mother.

Now the mother next to the old lady said that his eyes resembled Mrs. Lu's. Lu Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard that.

After hearing the words, the old lady carefully looked at Lu Qi's facial features. After what the old mother said, the old lady really felt that Lu Qi's eyes and nose looked a bit like Xu Wan.

Xu Wan, her poor child.

The old lady thought that she would never regret what she did, but she didn't know whether it was because she was old or something. Recently, she often thought of her daughter, the eldest daughter who was married to Tongcheng by her.

Back then, the old lady chose to sacrifice her daughter for the sake of her husband and the Xu family. After so many years, she always thought she did the right thing and never regretted it.But after meeting Lu Qi, she didn't know whether it was because she felt pity for the other party's future experience, or because she cherished her daughter's sacrifice. For the first time in her life, the old lady felt regretful.

But at this point, there is no turning back.

As early as the moment she wrote to Tongcheng to let Lu Qi enter the capital, the whole matter was already on the line and had to be released.

So she made up her mind, and said in a gentle voice: "There is a message from Su Wang's mansion, and grandma will take you as a guest tomorrow."

"Qi'er knows." Lu Qi nodded in response, but he was a little surprised by the actions of the Xu family. He didn't expect that the Xu family had already taken care of everything after he came to Beijing not long ago.

But if it was just a notice that he was going to Su Wang's mansion tomorrow, why call him to the main courtyard?I'm afraid that the old lady has other things to explain.

Lu Qi was right. After the old lady was silent for a while, she said again: "The son of King Su has been weak and sick since he was a child, so he has a weird temper. Don't stare at him after you see him."

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Prince Su was also a tuberculosis man, but who knew that the old lady's next words almost changed his face. The old lady said: "Bring the young master of the Bai family tomorrow, If King Su or the prince likes it, let him serve in the past."

"Grandmother, what does this mean?" Hearing that Bai Heng was involved, Lu Qi could no longer maintain his composure.

"You don't have to worry, maybe the young master of the Bai family won't be able to catch the nobleman's eyes." The old lady didn't mean to explain, she wanted to turn the matter over.

If it weren't for the good relationship between Lu Qi and Bai Heng, the old lady wouldn't say a word to remind her that she was afraid that her grandson would contradict King Su and his son because of Bai Heng in Su Wang's mansion tomorrow.

But seeing her grandson's excited expression at this time made the old lady even more worried that her grandson would do something stupid tomorrow.

Thinking of this, she simply said to her mother beside her: "Go to the Jingsiyuan and invite Young Master Bai to come over and live in my yard tonight."

The old mother heard that she was blessed and she was going to do it immediately.

Seeing this, Lu Qi hurriedly stopped her, "Grandmother, Young Master Bai and grandson share the same interests, let Young Master Bai stay with grandson."

The old lady frowned, and said lightly: "You are not in good health, and one more person is too noisy. Mother Xu, go and bring someone here." Change of mind.

Lu Qi never expected that things would develop to this point, not to mention that he and Bai Heng were forced to separate, the old lady's hint just now made him even more horrified.

It was because he understood the meaning of the old lady that Lu Qi had to remind Bai Heng as soon as possible, but the old lady saw through his plan, and actually separated the two of them directly.

At this moment, Lu Qi is really in a hurry. If Bai Heng falls into danger tomorrow, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life.

He didn't expect that the Xu family was not enough to let him go to Beijing, and they also had Bai Heng's idea.

It wasn't until this time that he suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Xu family had no objection to Bai Heng accompanying him to Beijing, and even treated Bai Heng as a guest of honor, and did not allow servants to treat him poorly. It turned out that they had already made preparations.

Undoubtedly, the Xu family was the right candidate for Mrs. Lu from the beginning, and he happened to bring Bai Heng to Mrs. Lu.

Lu Qi figured out the reason, and his expression changed.

If this is the case, then he has harmed Bai Heng!

At this moment, Lu Qi is really regretful. He regrets that Bai Heng was involved in such an ugly conspiracy. If it weren't for him, Bai Heng would still be living in Tongcheng.

As long as he thought about what might happen to Bai Heng after tomorrow, his heart would feel as if a soft knife had been sliced ​​across his heart, and each knife would cut his life so painfully that his internal organs seemed to be on fire.

At this moment, he hated himself, the Xu family, and Mrs. Lu who made it all happen.
