Mu Qing was very sincere towards her daughter, and when she returned to Jingmingtang, she took her daughter with her and comforted her countless times, just for fear of wronging her.
For a majestic young lady from the Hou's mansion to be chased and called a "fleeing slave" by a dog slave who doesn't have long eyes, no one would be so angry! Comforting and comforting, Lu Xiaoshu is still fine, but the more she talks, the more angry she becomes, wishing to tear the mouths of those two servants to pieces.
In the end, it was Lu Xiaoshu who comforted her instead.
Lu Wenxuan was not so easy to be fooled. Based on his understanding of his daughter, there must be something inside this matter.
In the study, Lu Xiaoshu was also very happy, and told about the things in Nanjing like a bamboo tube, only concealing the things related to Zhou Shizhi and the life experience and identity of his teacher's wife.
After listening for a long time, Lu Wenxuan sighed wryly: "Xiao Shu, dad sees that your life has been wonderful these years, dad is really willing to bow down!"
"Father!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled embarrassingly, and couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart.
"Stop messing around like this in the future! It's really, it's too dangerous!" Lu Wenxuan sighed lightly, and said, "These two are a bit wronged!"
Lu Xiaoshu obediently agreed, curling his lips in disdain and said: "What's wrong with you, you deserve to be punished if you show off so much in our house! It's not because the second aunt has to curry favor with her, she's just a rich man, what a big deal! See you After seeing Second Aunt's attitude, I might still despise our Hou Mansion in my heart! I feel disgusted when I see them like that!"
Lu Wenxuan said with a smile: "This Mr. Tian is the biggest salt merchant in Yangzhou. He is rich and powerful, and he has the capital to show off his power! However, this is good, there is no need for our family to get involved with this kind of person." The Qin family suffered. , can also be regarded as a warning to her, if you want to be a housekeeper, you should honestly manage according to the rules and duties, don't make up your own mind, and really treat others as if they don't exist!
"Father is right!" Lu Xiaoshu agreed with his father's words very much, and couldn't help but asked curiously: "What did this man surnamed Tian come to Beijing for no apparent reason? At this season, it seems that there is no big business in the capital, right?"
Isn't Yanyin and so on all received from the local government? If he wants to give a gift to a certain backer in Beijing, he doesn't need to go to Beijing himself, but if the New Year doesn't depend on the festival, there is no gift to give, right
Lu Wenxuan glanced at her and said with a casual smile, "Mrs. Marquis of Wugong will celebrate her fiftieth birthday in a few days. He should be here to congratulate Mrs. Marquis of Wugong's birthday."
"Are they familiar?" Hearing that it was related to the Marquis of Martial Arts, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help asking another question.
"Well, who knows!" Lu Wenxuan looked at her and said, "Why are you inquiring about this? Martial arts masters are so powerful, and it's normal for wealthy businessmen from all over the place to fawn on you. Well, it's getting late, you should go back and rest quickly!"
Lu Xiaoshu thought it was the same, then turned around and went out with a smile, "Yeah", couldn't help but turn around and said: "Father, please persuade mother, I'm really fine!"
Lu Wenxuan was taken aback, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "You girl, you know how to be filial! Don't worry, dad will!"
Lu Xiaoshu giggled, and then he really went.
Besides, Mr. Tian took the two young servants to the backyard of the rented inn, ordered someone to invite a doctor to have a look, and the doctor said that the two were seriously injured, even if they were cured, they could only lie on the bed as a cripple up.
Immediately, Mr. Tian lost his mind to deal with it again, and ordered someone to give a few taels of silver, and threw it into a ruined temple outside the city early the next morning.
Everyone was used to this kind of thing for a long time, and the manager firmly agreed without even raising an eyebrow.
There was a trace of sternness in Master Tian's eyes, and he sneered silently.
In this matter, the most embarrassing and embarrassing is Mr. Tian, and the most heartbroken is the Qin family—after all, a generous God of Wealth came, and he was full of thinking about making a steady fortune with the help of the east wind in the future. It got mixed up so easily!
Cousin is so embarrassing today, he might even blame her, how can he help her!
Qin's heart was uneasy, and she managed to wait until dawn the next day, and quietly left the mansion after breakfast to apologize to Mr. Tian.
"What happened yesterday was all my fault! It was my carelessness that caused trouble to my cousin. I really feel sorry for you! Please forgive me, cousin, if you are an adult, please forgive me!" Qin With a sincere and remorseful face, he apologized again and again.
She is really out of her mind! She just wanted to express to her cousin that she treated him as her own family, so she didn't ask anyone to invite the two young men out of the inner house, and let them wait outside the Ming and Qing gardens. Who knows what will happen in the world? It's such a coincidence that something will happen in just a short while!
There is really no one in that family who is reassuring, and it is against their family!
"Cousin, don't say that," Mr. Tian said with a gentle smile, "You have good intentions too. It's because those two damn servants are insane, and they just messed around regardless of where it is! They deserve to die!"
"My cousin doesn't blame me, so I don't worry! Anyway, we are relatives, we are all a family!" Mrs. Qin could hear the resentment and dissatisfaction in Master Tian's words, and she cheekily smiled sarcasticly as if she didn't understand.
After thinking about it, my cousin would still be angry, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it's because of that dead girl Lu Xiaoshu who is bad! That dead girl is an uneducated, unruly wild Things, ever since their family returned home, there has not been a single day of peace in the house! The old lady and we have no dislikes, but, alas, it is a family after all... "
Master Tian smiled, and said to himself that the incident between the third house of your Lu family is not news for a long time, who doesn't know about it!
He is not interested in these things at all, what he is interested in is still Lu Xiaoshu.
"To be honest, I don't think your second lady looks like a lady!" Master Tian laughed.
"You are a lady!" Qin couldn't help but spat, and said with contempt on her face: "Vulgar, even worse than a third-class girl! I don't know how her parents have taught her all these years!"
Master Tian's heart moved, and he said: "All these years, she has been with her parents? Has she never been lost?"
Qin's eyes widened and he froze. After a moment of hesitation, he smiled and said, "This—probably not!"
"That's strange!" Mr. Tian smiled "hehe" and said, "I think Hou Ye is a very prudent and exquisite person, the eldest lady is gentle and virtuous, and the theory is that they teach their grown-up daughters to know how to-hehe ! It's really confusing!"
Hearing what he said, Qin couldn't help being puzzled, and there was a faint feeling of enlightenment in her heart. Yes, no one knows what happened to them outside all these years except themselves! To be honest, Lu Xiaoshu's temperament and behavior are nothing like Mu Qing's at all. If it weren't for the shocking similarity between the two of them, she wouldn't believe that Mu Qing's daughter would be like this!
Seeing that she didn't speak, Mr. Tian became more determined in his heart, sneered secretly, and sighed softly: "To tell you the truth, my cousin, my two slaves were really wronged by the board yesterday! The one I bought in Nanjing Girl, she is exactly the same as the second young lady in your house!"
"Exactly the same?" Qin looked at Mr. Tian in surprise, not quite understanding what he meant.
"Yes, the figure, appearance, height, fat, and thinness are exactly the same," Mr. Tian said word by word, "Even when I saw her, I was shocked. Besides, I'm sure, during the day yesterday, I was in front of you. It's her that I accidentally bumped into in the garden of the mansion!"
"W-how could this be happening! How could this be happening!" Qin murmured in disbelief, feeling excited for no reason.
If the Second Miss of Changping Marquis was lost and once worked as a girl in someone else's house—well, since she escaped from her cousin's house later, who knows what happened afterwards? This is a young and beautiful girl's house...
If the news got out, who else in the capital would marry her? Hehe, it would be nice to rely on the potential of the Hou Mansion to be matched with a small and innocent family! In this way, she will never be able to surpass her own daughter, and even her parents must lose face...
"You are a family, don't you know about the big house?" Mr. Tian asked, with incredible confusion in his tone.
Qin Shi was slightly embarrassed, and reluctantly smiled and said: "The eldest room has always looked down on our second and third rooms, as if guarding us against something, even Jing Mingtang's maids were brought back by themselves, the servants used by the eldest brother The servants are also his own people, how can they tell us about their family affairs! However, such a big matter can't be hidden, "
Qin's eyes were sharp, and the corner of her lips curled up and said lightly: "When I get back, I'll ask someone to inquire carefully, and I can always find some clues!"
"That couldn't be better!" Master Tian wanted her words, so he sighed: "To tell you the truth, I didn't think about anything else, I just wanted to make things clear! Otherwise, I'm going to die unjustly! Cough, this taste is not good!"
"That's not it!" Qin shi sighed in understanding, and was secretly happy to see that Mr. Tian still had the intention to keep in touch. She cheered up and said, "Cousin, don't worry, I will tell my cousin as soon as this matter comes to a conclusion! If... things are really as what my cousin said, my cousin is really wronged!"
"Hey," Mr. Tian waved his hands, and said, "That's my fault too, too reckless! It's just that there is a lump in my heart, as long as I find out the truth!"
"Yes, yes!" Qin Shi nodded and praised: "My cousin is really an open-minded person!"
Qin couldn't wait any longer, said a few polite words, hurriedly got up and said goodbye, and went back to the house to make arrangements. Master Tian would naturally not keep her.
On the carriage back home, Qin Shi only felt refreshed and relaxed!
Fortunately, fortunately, not only was my cousin not angry with her, but he also asked her for help! As long as she helps her cousin untie this knot, can the cousin still alienate her? How much must be expressed...
After Mrs. Qin left, Mr. Tian's gaze immediately sank. What he saw yesterday, what Qin said, the past events in Nanjing and his inferences, there is no need for Qin to investigate, he already knows it in his heart!
Lu Xiaoshu is the person he is looking for!
