"I am Xiaoxi, and Dongzi is my brother." The unfamiliar maid in front of him said truthfully.
But Wen Qingzhu didn't relax at all. She stared at the maid's face and found that she had no resemblance to Dongzi at all.
At this moment, Mother Ye came in with a basin of hot water: "Miss, you're awake!"
Wen Qingzhu relaxed when he saw Mama Ye walking in.
Mother Ye saw that she kept staring at Xiaoxi, so she explained: "Miss, this girl is Xiaoxi, Dongzi's adopted sister."
"I'm sorry, Miss Xiaoxi." Wen Qingzhu finally felt relieved.
Xiao Xi shook his head and said: "Miss Wen, you don't have to be so polite. My brother asked me to come here to help you. Miss, just call me Xiao Xi. By the way, the second sister is here too. She is taking care of Zhong Zhong in another room." Uncle."
Wen Qingzhu stood up, and Xiao Xi quickly came over to help her get dressed.
"No, I'll do it myself." Wen Qingzhu found that the set of clothes he had received had been washed and dried.
Xiao Xi was very smart. She found that Wen Qingzhu didn't like people getting close to him, so she took a few steps back.
When the belt at the back couldn't be fastened, she stepped forward to help.
After washing up, Wen Qingzhu went to the next room and saw Fu Lie and—
An even pretty girl.
She was pulling Fu Lie and chattering.
"Second sister, young master!" Xiaoxi was the first to shout because of his lively temper.
The two people looked up and Fu Lie quickly withdrew his hand.
Wen Qingzhu's heart was a little shaken, but his face was very calm.
"Second sister, this is Miss Wen." Xiao Xi walked up to the strange girl.
The girl looked at Wen Qingzhu critically, and finally nodded and said, "Very impressive."
Wen Qingzhu walked over and found that the girl smelled of medicine.
It seems that she is also someone who knows medical skills.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was looking at the person next to him, Fu Lie introduced him: "This is Nan Xiao, the daughter of his father's colleague."
"Hello, Miss Nanxiao." Wen Qingzhu greeted politely.
Nan Xiao smiled lightly, then pulled Xiao Xi out of the door: "Go and see if the medicine is ready."
When they left, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie were the only two people left in the room.
Wen Qingzhu looked inside and asked, "Is Uncle Zhong awake?"
"I'm awake, but I fell asleep again half an hour ago." Fu Lie turned around and pointed inside to explain.
"Then I'll come back and take a look later." Wen Qingzhu turned to leave.
Fu Lie felt anxious and hurriedly explained: "Nan Xiao's father died and she was all alone. It was Dongzi who suggested that I take her home. I only think of her as my sister!"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu pursed his lips, and the ripples in his heart disappeared.
"Well, I'll go out for a meal first." Wen Qingzhu turned around anyway, with an inexplicable lightness in his tone.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu began to wander around the Lu family's old house.
Everything in front of me is so familiar and strange.
When my grandfather was still here, this yard was always clean.
The grass and trees are all neatly trimmed, and they are not at all overgrown, desolate and dilapidated like they are now.
Walking to the central hall, Wen Qingzhu opened the door.
With a bang, the door panel fell off.
Wen Qingzhu quickly held the door panel and placed it against the wall.
There was nothing in the room except for an altar table, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.
After passing through the central hall, Wen Qingzhu continued walking forward.
Arriving in the front yard, the place became even more desolate and dilapidated.
The pine trees in the yard were cut down at some point, leaving only a few bare wooden piles.
On the left is my grandfather's study, and on the right is the Lu family's mourning hall.
Wen Qingzhu often played in these two places when he was a child.
The study is where she goes most often, because that's where her grandfather spends most of his time.
The mourning hall is very large, but there is only one tablet enshrined in it, which is the tablet of my grandmother.
Standing in the middle of the yard, Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment.
Where should she look first
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and Wen Qingzhu remembered something.
That was one time she was waiting for her grandfather in the mourning hall.
As a result, her grandfather came late that day because of something, and she fell asleep sitting on the futon.
She was picked up late at night, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the person in front of her was her grandfather.
At that time, she asked in a daze: "Grandpa and grandma have been dead for so long, why do you still come to see her every day?"
"Because this is the most important place in my grandfather's house, now and in the future." Her grandfather told her at the time.
At that time, I didn't care much.
Thinking about it now, Wen Qingzhu noticed something unusual.
The mourning hall is the most important place of the Lu family, now and in the future.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and walked to the right without hesitation.
Pushing open the door of the mourning hall, a cold wind blew in the face.
It was daytime now, but the room was extremely dark.
She looked around and found that the windows were all closed.
After walking in, Wen Qingzhu blew on the fire.
Glancing around, I saw that this place was no different from when I was a child.
There are hanging paintings, a sacred table, an offering table, a futon, and a tablet standing in the center.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and found a handful of incense in the drawer of the magic desk.
After lighting it, he inserted it into the incense burner as usual.
Wen Qingzhu was stunned. The incense burner was actually full.
The top layer of incense ash doesn't look that long ago.
After placing the incense, Wen Qingzhu turned around, kowtowed three times, looked at the tablet above and said, "Grandma, Qingzhu is back to see you."
When she stood up, she found that the tablet suddenly fell down.
Wen Qingzhu was startled and immediately looked around.
Is there anyone else here
But I held my breath and watched for a while. There was no way there was anyone else here.
Wen Qingzhu was puzzled. She didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world.
Even if he was reborn inexplicably.
Because if there really are ghosts and gods, then why are evil people like Jiang Yuancheng not haunted by evil spirits
The innocent, the deserved, and the unwilling, all became Jiang Yuancheng's stepping stones.
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while, then stepped forward and raised the tablet.
When she just positioned the tablet, Wen Qingzhu discovered that there seemed to be a bulge under the tablet.
Wen Qingzhu moved away from the queue and reached out to press it.
There was a click, and behind the hanging painting next to Zhenzhen, a door slowly opened.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the door in shock. There was actually a compartment here
Looking at the altar table, I saw that after I pressed down the bulge just now, it was now tightly connected to the table top.
If she hadn't really pressed it just now, she wouldn't have known that there was a mechanism here!
After placing the memorial tablet, Wen Qingzhu opened the hanging picture and walked in.
After holding the fire folding piece and entering, Wen Qingzhu found that the door behind him slowly closed again.
Looking up, this place is small.
It's only about the length of a desk, but it's a very long passage.
Against the wall is a long shelf.
Wen Qingzhu walked over and took a look. It was filled with tablets, and all the tablets began with the character Xue!
Taking a closer look, Wen Qingzhu had seen the name in the middle.
That was the name she had seen in the Medicine God Valley Ancestral Hall—Xue Yong.
At that time, she was framed and broke in by mistake. After the owner of the Medicine God Valley came, he did not blame her.
Instead, he told her that the man with the highest tablet, Xue Yong, was the founder of Medicine God Valley.
Lightning flashed in his mind, and Wen Qingzhu was shocked.
She got it.
Why are the masters of the Medicine God Valley so similar to my grandfather? It’s because they are basically brothers!
Why did the owner of the Medicine God Valley expressly prohibit outsiders from approaching the ancestral hall.
But she broke in and was still not punished.
Why did the Master of the Medicine God Valley originally not want to accept her when he met her, but finally accepted her.
Now Wen Qingzhu finally understood.
It turns out that it all has its roots.
Wen Qingzhu walked and reached the end.
At the end of the shelf she found several letters.
There is no signature on it, but the seal has been opened.
Wen Qingzhu hesitated, but still reached out and took it.
After reading a letter, Wen Qingzhu frowned.
This letter seems to be written by a woman, and the font is hairpin small regular script.
It talks about some daily food and daily life, and at the end of the envelope, there is this sentence.
Sir, what should I do? I really can't have another baby.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and thought carefully, who wrote this
My grandfather is an imperial doctor, so there is nothing wrong with treating people, but why should I go to my grandfather if I can't conceive a child
There are many reasons for not being able to get pregnant.
Just as he was thinking this, Wen Qingzhu heard footsteps outside.
"Miss Wen."
Wen Qingzhu raised his head and heard Fu Lie's voice.
She read several letters on the shelf, and finally collected them and put them in her sleeves.
After opening the door to the secret room, Fu Lie watched in shock as Wen Qingzhu walked out.
Wait until the door of the secret room slowly closes.
Wen Qingzhu walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Lie didn't ask any more questions, but said to her seriously: "This place is being targeted! We must leave here as soon as possible!"
"What! Who is it?!" Wen Qingzhu's face changed instantly.
At this time, there are still people staring at the Lu family's old house, most likely for Uncle Zhong.
Fu Lie hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's the fifth prince. Dongzi led him away from the Lu family for the time being."
Wen Qingzhu's eyes were covered with a layer of frost.
He actually targeted the Lu family!
"Let's go! Leave and take Uncle Zhong out of here!" Wen Qingzhu turned around and left without hesitation.
When they arrived in the backyard, Nanxiao Xiaoxi and the others had already packed their things.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly stepped forward: "Mother Ye, where is Uncle Zhong?"
Mother Ye took her hand and said, "Young Master Fu has moved her into the carriage. Do you want to leave now?"
"The traces in the house?" Wen Qingzhu glanced at the house behind him hesitantly.
There are three rooms and a kitchen. They have used them all and will leave traces.
Nan Xiao raised her voice and said: "Don't worry, Miss Wen, we have taken care of everything, now we are waiting for you!"
"Thank you, Miss Nanxiao." Wen Qingzhu was not polite and thanked him as much as he should.
Unconsciously, the sky has darkened.
Everyone took advantage of the night and quietly got on the carriage and left Lu's house.
Wen Qingzhu knew that they were safe until someone heard voices outside the carriage.
But she was still worried, and her eyebrows knitted together again.
Fu Lie looked at her expression, pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that the traces of us going there will be discovered?"
"Well, Jiang Yuancheng is not an ordinary person." Wen Qingzhu narrowed her eyes, as if she had figured something out.
At this time in his previous life, had Jiang Yuancheng discovered Uncle Zhong
Was the letter in the secret room of the mourning hall found by Jiang Yuancheng
She wasn't sure, she only knew that Jiang Yuancheng started to come to Wen's house frequently after half a year.
After many encounters, when the Wen family bullied her, Jiang Yuancheng appeared in time to save her.
Wen Qingzhu was so miserable at that time.
At that time, Wen Shuquan even planned to marry her to a widower.
After more than two years of fighting, Fu Lie appeared.
Jiang Yuancheng asked her to pretend to marry Fu Lie and promised her the position of queen.
Wen Qingzhu agreed and began a life of sin.
In the end, he died badly.
"Miss Wen?" Nan Xiao's voice rang in her ears.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly came to his senses and his expression returned to calm.
Nan Xiao smiled meaningfully and said, "Miss Wen seems to know the fifth prince very well? Is it possible that you like him?"
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways and replied calmly: "Yes."
