Daming female local tyrant

Shen Wan listened quietly to what Jing Lan was saying, and when Jing Lan stopped to drink tea to refresh her mouth, she sighed and said, "After listening to what you said, I think what that mother Lin said is generally not bad. I really didn't expect, Lan Son, you are the grandson of the second room of the Lu family. No wonder you look nothing like your adoptive parents, and your life experience is so bizarre that it makes people speechless. However, your last words were your mother's words to her before she died. Mother Lin said, if your brother is promising, ask him to recognize you and take you back to the Lu family. So, is your brother promising now? I am worried that although he has good intentions to take you back, he has no good plan to deal with your Lu family. Those elders, you have gone back, but you are still in a cage, you are not as comfortable as you are now. That’s all, I am most afraid that you will become a thorn in the eyes of some people after you go back, and someone will secretly harm you. "

"You're saying that Lu Xueshan's house filling Qi family killed Chengze's mother?" Jing Lan put down her tea bowl and said.

Although she has traveled to this era for three years and experienced many things, she does not have a deep understanding of the cruel struggle in the inner house.When talking with Lu Chengze and Mama Lin in the afternoon, they were also very suspicious about Tan's death back then.I feel that the so-called rumors about Jing Lanke's Lu family man and Zhang Tianshi's comments are the main reasons for Tan's death.

The person who benefited after Tan's death was Qi. Originally, Yuan only wanted her, the niece of a distant relative of her natal family, to be his son's good concubine, but because of Tan's death, Qi was able to marry into the Lu family and become Lu Xueshan's successor. .

In other words, even if the Qi family becomes Lu Xueshan's successor, her family background is not qualified.

She was able to marry into the Lu family and become Lu Xueshan's successor, thanks to Yuan's support and Lu Xueshan's liking for her.

Before Mrs. Tan died of illness, Lu Xueshan knew that his mother had found an older girl for him as a good concubine. He even secretly went to see Mrs. Qi. concubine.

Tan died of illness, and his mother asked Qi to fill in the house, but he didn't object, so the matter was settled.Other members of the Lu family still looked down on Qi's family background, but Lu Xueshan wanted to, and he was a relative of the second wife's natal family, so it was difficult for everyone to say anything.

So the Qi family successfully married into the Lu family and became Lu Xueshan's successor.

Among those who looked down on Qi's family background, there was Feng Shi, the old lady of the Lu family. She felt that the woman her grandson Lu Xueshan continued to marry was of humble origin and was not qualified to raise her great-grandson Cheng Ze.Therefore, after Qi married into the Lu family, he sent Cheng Ze away and stayed with her to raise him.

Mrs. Feng wanted to do this, and Yuan and Qi didn't dare to say anything. After all, they also knew the reason why Mrs. Feng did this.

After Qi married into the Lu family, she soon gave birth to a son and a daughter to Lu Xueshan.

His son Lu Chengyuan is only one and a half years younger than Lu Chengze, and his daughter Lu Shulan is two and a half years younger than Lu Chengze.

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Shen Wan said, "Whoever benefits from Mrs. Tan's death is the most suspicious. However, this is also our suspicion. After all, there are coincidences in this world. If you want to know It's not that Mrs. Qi killed Mrs. Tan, it depends on how she treats Lu Chengze afterwards? By the way, what did Lu Chengze tell you?"

Jing Lan thought for a while about what Lu Chengze said, and then said: "Chengze said that he was raised by the old lady, and he rarely saw Mrs. Qi on weekdays. He only went back during Chinese New Year and holidays, and Lu Xueshan and Mrs. Qi's birthdays. When they met them, they kowtowed and saluted. The Qi family also treated him with a smile. On weekdays, she would ask someone to send whatever food and food her two children bought to Chengze. Outsiders watched, her stepmother was very fond of the first wife. The children she gave birth to are very good. However, the two children she gave birth to are not good to Cheng Ze, and there is nothing wrong with it, they are just indifferent, do not get close to him, and do not treat him as an elder brother."

Shen Wan laughed after hearing this, and said: "It seems that this Qi family is not simple. I dare say that Tan's death is inseparable from her."

Jing Lan asked, "Wanwan, why are you so sure?"

Shen Wan: "Qi's set her face to face and set her back. It can be said that she has deep scheming. If she is really kind to Lu Chengze, then the child she gave birth to after marrying into the Lu family should also be close to Lu Chengze, but you say, The child she gave birth to is indifferent to Lu Chengze and doesn't treat him as an elder brother. It can be seen how the Qi family taught these two children secretly. I think, with such means, she must have done something to make Lu Chengze care about it. "

Jing Lan gave Shen Wan a thumbs up, praising her for being a female Zhuge, who can predict things like a god.

Shen Wan glanced at her with a smile, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said softly: "Finally, what is Lu Chengze concerned about?"

Jing Lan: "Chengze said that his mother had a lot of dowries. There are eleven houses and shops in Jinling City, two silk factories, five silk shops, and a farm with an area of ​​3 mu. Add up to no less than [-] taels of silver."

Shen Wan originally listened to Jing Lan with a smile, but she also suppressed her smile when she heard this, frowned and said: "Could it be that your mother's dowry was stolen by someone in private, Lu Chengze felt aggrieved, and found your sister, I want you to go back and join hands to take back your mother's dowry, so that your mother's dowry will not fall into the hands of outsiders?"

Jing Lan nodded: "That's what he said."

Shen Wan said again: "Lu Chengze really thinks highly of you as a sister. If he has no future and ability and asks you to go back to the Lu family to get back your mother's dowry that was taken by the Lu clan, wouldn't that make you a target?"

Jing Lan: "He said that he won the exam last year, No. 7 in Nanzhili."

Shen Wan was startled when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes lit up: "15 years old, he is really promising, so it's no wonder he dared to recognize you, ask you to go back to the Lu family, and get back the dowry for your mother that was taken over by the Lu clan." Not to mention the Lu family, even our Shen family has never produced such a seed for studying. He passed the exam at the age of 15, and his future is boundless. In this way, I can let you go back to the Lu family to get back the original Something that belongs to you and Lu Chengze."

Jing Lan added: "It's just that I have to go back to Qingxi Village to meet the people of the Lin family and ask for proof, so I can feel at ease and go back with Lu Chengze."

Shen Wan said: "It's better to be more cautious. Only when you know the truth, who are your real parents, and what is your last name, can you let go and do things. You can go on your own tomorrow. I will still ask Ping An and Ping Fu to accompany you." , but, if you go back like this, can the Lin family tell you the truth?"

"Ping An and Ping Fu don't need to go. The less people know about my background, the better. Also, Mama Lin and Lu Chengze will go with me tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about me. By the way, they asked me to go there later The Taoist temple they went to pick them up."

"That's okay. Speaking of the Taoist temple, I finally understood why I sent so many young men to look for you in the afternoon, but I couldn't find you. It's very secluded there, but it's a good place to talk."

"Wanwan, I made you worry."

"It's good to know that I am worried about you. My heart is always on you. You will become Miss Lu's family in the future. Just don't let me down."

Jing Lan stood up, took a step forward, hugged Shen Wan who was sitting on the Arhat's couch, bowed her head, stared into Shen Wan's eyes, and said softly: "Don't think about it, wait for me to go back and finish the things that should be done." Done, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to build a house in the future, take you and Jun Pei, and we will go to live in seclusion, and stop rolling around in this world of mortals."

This was the first time that Jing Lan told Shen Wan about her future plans, and she was so clear that she was required to bring her daughter, and the three of them went to live in seclusion together.

Shen Wan was filled with joy when she heard this, hugged Jing Lan's waist, put her head on her chest, and happily agreed: "Okay, it's all up to you."

The figures of the two were printed on the window paper, and a person stuck his head out in a corner outside to watch for a while, and then slowly retracted into the darkness.

The next day Jing Lan got up, had breakfast, and then went to bid farewell to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan saw that she was carrying a small bundle on her back, so she asked her to take it off, untied it and looked at it for herself, then went to get a bottle of Rendan, a box of pills, put it in the bundle for her, and packed the bundle again, Then he said: "The medicines here are all kinds of medicines that are necessary for traveling in this summer. Although Qingxi Village is not far from Jinling, you still have to prevent heatstroke on the road. After you go back, ask for proof, and come back as soon as possible."

Ji Lan agreed and said, "I'll be back in two or three days, don't worry about me."

Shen Wan nodded, reluctantly sent her out, walked to the second floor, looked out from the window, saw her pass through the courtyards, and finally couldn't see her figure, so she looked away.

Jing Lan went to the outer courtyard, rented a carriage on the street outside, and went to the Taoist temple yesterday.

When they arrived, Mother Lin and Lu Chengze were both there, and Lu Chengze was still carrying a small burden that seemed quite heavy.

So, Jing Lan asked them to get in the car and let the driver drive the car to Qingxi Village at the foot of Qixia Mountain.

Just over an hour later, the carriage that Jing Lan and the others were sitting in arrived at the entrance of Qingxi Village, the three of them got off the carriage, and Jing Lan asked the coachman to wait here.If you don't come back today, then ask him to stay at the farmhouse in the village for a day and give him four taels of silver to rent a car.This is two taels of silver more than his two-day driving, and the coachman hastily agreed.

Jing Lan led Lu Chengze and Lin's mother in front, and walked to the Lin's house in Qingxi Village, the home that had appeared countless times in her dreams.

I still remember that when she left Qingxi Village, she was still a thin yellow-haired girl. At that time, she was sitting in the Shen family's carriage, getting farther and farther away from the village surrounded by green trees and Qingxi, and she was extremely sad.

Over the years, although people are outside, when the night is quiet, she can't help but think of this small village with beautiful mountains and rivers, the poor but peaceful pastoral life here, and her grandmother, parents, younger brothers Ashan and Aguo.When she left that year, she thought it would take eight years before she could return to this small village to reunite with her family.

Who would have thought that she would come back after only three years, still free, with a lover, and with the capital and ability to survive.

It never occurred to her that she would bring Lu Chengze and Lin's mother to the Lin family to verify whether she was the child they picked up, and whether they had a half jade pendant with the word "Jing Lan" engraved on it. The half piece of jade pendant engraved with the word "Lu Shi" in the mother's hand is facing.
