Daming female local tyrant

"Master Lu, this is the jade pendant." Mrs. Xie took out half of the jade pendant wrapped in a piece of red cloth and handed it to Lu Chengze.

Lu Chengze took it, took out the other half of the jade pendant that Lin's mother gave him, and put the two jade pendants on the table, putting them together.

"Sister, look." He pointed to the jade pendant that was put together on the table and said to Jing Lan.

Jing Lan took a closer look, and saw that the jade pendant facing up was engraved with the four characters "Jing Lan from Lu's family", and the joints of the two pieces of jade pendant were completely matched.

Now she has no doubts at all, her surname is indeed Lu, she is the grandson of the second wife of the Lu family, her younger brother is Lu Chengze, and her mother Tan has died of illness for many years.It is possible that Tan's death was calculated by others. After her death, most of the dowry that should have been left to her own children was taken away by others, leaving less than [-]% to Cheng Ze.

Looking up, Jing Lan saw her adoptive mother Xie looking at her sadly with tears in her eyes.

She couldn't bear it in her heart, wanted to say a few words of comfort to Mrs. Xie but didn't know where to start, and now in front of Lu Chengze and Mama Lin, it felt inappropriate to call Mrs. Xie her mother.However, this does not treat Mrs. Xie as her mother. Jing Lan knew that Mrs. Xie would be very sad.

In any case, the original body was raised by Mrs. Xie. For more than ten years, the love of raising this child is not light.

The piece of jade pendant put together was finally put away by Jing Lan herself.

Lin Gensheng also took the 200 taels of silver and put it in a box in the house to lock it up.

Suddenly with 200 taels of silver, the Lin family could get rid of poverty completely. This made Lin Gensheng very happy. He asked his mother to accompany Jing Lan and others. Added vegetables.

Even though Jinglan became a child of someone else's family, Gao still regarded Jinglan as a granddaughter and asked her a lot about entering Shen's house as a maid.

Mrs. Xie asked her daughter Aguo to watch the fire in the kitchen, and she sat beside Jing Lan, listening to Jing Lan talk about how she spent the past three years outside.

Jing Lan skipped over falling in love with Shen Wan and the fight with Xiao's family, and only briefly talked about the process.

When they heard that Shen Wan was very kind to Jing Lan and returned the body deed to Jing Lan in advance, Xie and Gao were very excited, saying that now they don't worry about Jing Lan at all.They hope that after Jinglan returns to the Lu family and becomes the Lu family's young lady, she can live a good life, and the elders of the Lu family can also find Jing Lan a good husband's family.

Speaking of Jinglan's marriage, Mrs. Gao suddenly said to Mrs. Xie: "Daughter-in-law, you forgot that before Alan left our Qingxi Village with Miss Shen, did the Geng family next door make a deal with our family? Although Alan was not around at that time, , but Ah Hu’s parents brought the gift box and talked about the engagement of the two families, we also nodded and had dinner together.”

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Lin's mother was surprised, and Jing Lan also looked at Gao and Xie in surprise.

Xie shyly said: "At that time, Alan's life contract was eight years. We were afraid that after eight years, Alan would be old and it would be difficult for him to find his in-law's house when he came back. The Geng's couple from the next door came to say that Ah Hu was willing to wait for eight years to wait After Alan came back, we agreed to Alan's engagement with Ahu. However, our two families only talked about Alan's engagement with Ahu at the beginning, but we didn't really make a decision."

After hearing this, Mother Lin said that even though it was a verbal agreement, it is best for the Lin family to go to the Geng family and tell them that the previous verbal engagement between the two families does not count.Don't let that child from the Geng family wait for Alan any longer, so as not to delay him.

Mrs. Xie agreed, and said that she and her husband would go to Geng's house in person to talk about it.

At this time, Lin Gensheng came back with half a basket of loach and rice field eels, and Ah Shan came back with a basket of fresh vegetables on his back. Xie stood up and went to the kitchen to pack up the vegetables to serve the guests.

Jing Lan also went to the kitchen to help.

Lin Gensheng went to wash his hands and feet and went into the main room to accompany the guests, while Ah Shan and Ah Guo were chasing dogs in the yard.

In the Lin's kitchen, Jing Lan rolled up her sleeves to help Xie wash and chop vegetables.

Mrs. Xie asked Jing Lan to rest, and Jing Lan smiled and said, "Mother, I have been cooking a lot these years, let me make loach and rice field eel in a while, and it will be delicious."

Jing Lan's call of "Mother" made Xie's heart twitch, and his brows furrowed a little.

She was cooking, and said that she hoped that after Jinglan returned to Lu's house, if she got married in the future, she would send herself an invitation card, and she wanted to come to have Jinglan's wedding wine.

Jing Lan vaguely agreed to her.

Knowing that she is with Shen Wan, there is no possibility of sending an invitation to let her adoptive mother go to the wedding.

However, she told Mrs. Xie that when she established a firm foothold in the city, she would send someone to pick Mrs. Xie to live in the city, eat some delicious food, and go shopping with Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was happy when she heard this, but she asked worriedly: "If I go, won't your mother care too much?"

Jing Lan told her: "My mother died of illness more than ten years ago, and now there is a stepmother in the family."

"Stepmother..."

"Mother, I can't explain my life experience for a while, so let's stop talking about it."

"Alan, I want to tell you that when you return to Lu's house, you should think more about everything you do, talk less and do less."

"Mother, I know, you don't have to worry about me. It's you, don't work too hard in the future, and take care of yourself more."

……

Jing Lan said a lot of caring words to her adoptive mother, and Xie's mood improved a lot.

After lunch, Lu Chengze proposed to leave for Jinling immediately.

Originally, Jing Lan planned to go back to Qingxi Village and live in Lin's house for two or three days before going back, but she never thought that her younger brother Cheng Ze would go back soon.

Lu Chengze told Jing Lan that he thought it would take at least two days for this trip to persuade the Lin family couple to show Jing Lan the half jade pendant so that she could confirm his identity, but he never expected it to be so smooth.

Now that Jing Lan has confirmed her identity, there is no need to delay here.

After all, the three of them had to stay at the Lin family, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the Lin family, so it was better to return to the city as soon as possible.In addition, go back earlier so that he can start preparing for Jing Lan to return to Lu's house.

Although Jing Lan hated everyone in the Lin family except her cheap father Xie and the others, but when she saw the grown-up Ah Hu poking his head at the gate of the Lin family's yard, she couldn't sit still.

So she agreed and returned to Jinling City.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie tried their best to persuade Jing Lan to stay for two more days before going back. Jing Lan told them that there were still many things waiting to be done in the city, and they could not delay. She would come back to see them when she was free, or send someone to pick them up. City to take a stroll.

Seeing that Jing Lan could not be kept, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie went and brought out a lot of peanuts and walnuts for her, and put them in a basket for her to take back to eat.

In fact, these things were not attractive to Jing Lan at all, but she still accepted them, carried them into the carriage, and waved goodbye to everyone in the Lin family.

Ahu ran out from nowhere, and suddenly ran to the carriage where Jing Lan was sitting, and shouted excitedly: "Alan, I will wait for you to come back! Come back, I will marry you!"

This kind of bold confession is really hot in the ears of the people around.

Jing Lan looked at Ah Hu who had grown into a young man, looked at his young face and eager eyes, and felt embarrassed.

Originally, he didn't want to meet him, but now he ran to Jing Lan and said such bold and enthusiastic words, Jing Lan had no choice but to tell him: "Ahu, don't wait for me."

She said it quietly, but clearly enough that everyone present could hear it.

Ah Hu also heard it, and saw him petrified in an instant, his eager eyes quickly dimmed, and he shook his head in disbelief: "Alan, what did you say, what did you say... we are engaged..."

Jing Lan said lightly: "I never thought of marrying you, and I don't like you either. Don't wait for me, let's just leave now."

After finishing speaking, Jing Lan lowered the curtain of the carriage and asked the coachman to drive the carriage up.

After the carriage in which Jing Lan and his party were sitting disappeared at the head of the village, Ah Hu suddenly knelt down and cried.

Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Xie came forward to say sorry, and said that they were about to tell his parents about this matter, and the two verbal engagements three years ago did not count.

"Why not?" Ah Hu stood up and shouted, questioning Gao Shi and Xie Shi.

Lin Gensheng said coldly from the side: "Because you are not good enough for Alan. Alan is the daughter of a wealthy family in the city, not our own child. The Lu family has come to recognize her, and she will not return to Qingxi Village. Let alone Well, although your parents came to our Lin family to propose marriage three years ago, they didn't make a serious decision, so it doesn't matter."

Ah Hu was stunned when he heard the words, his face, which was blood red from pain and anger just now, slowly faded and became extremely dark.

On the carriage, Jing Lan was silent for a while, and asked Lu Chengze: "Chengze, do you think what I said just now was too hurtful. But if I don't be so cruel, I'm afraid that Ah Hu will not give up, and keep pestering him."

Lu Chengze said: "I really admire my elder sister's sonorous words, but you must know that you will always be disturbed by her."

Jing Lan sighed and shook her head slightly. In fact, she didn't want to hurt Ahu by saying something decisive. After all, it was really kind of Ahu's family to propose marriage to the Lin family back then.

The carriage was getting farther and farther away from Qingxi Village, Jing Lan shook her head and stopped thinking about the people and things in Qingxi Village.

Now that it has been confirmed that she is the daughter-in-law of the second wife of the Lu family, what she has to consider now is how to return to the Lu family, find out the cause of her own mother's death, and get back the money that originally belonged to her and her brother Chengze. Property, which was left to them by her own mother.

Those dowries should not be taken over by the second wife.

She asked Chengze: "Brother, what are you going to do after you go back? Back then, didn't Master Zhang say that I was against the men of the Lu family? You want to take me back, the Lu family, especially the men of the Lu family." Would you agree?"

Lu Chengze smiled slightly and said: "Sister, I have already planned for this matter. Back then, Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain was famous, but now there is a real person who is more famous than him. If I ask this real person to re-approve it for sister The fate must be different from ten years ago. You said, I took the life approved by this real person to see my ancestors, would she believe this real person or the previous celestial master?"

Jing Lan asked: "Are you so sure that the life you asked this real person to approve now is different from that of the celestial master before?"
