It was late at night, and Lu Yunhong's voice could be heard in almost every room.
Chen Lifang waited for a long time and saw that everyone in the Lu family was pretending to be dead, but no one got up to ask if Lu Yunhong was being bullied?
Today in the main hall, her uncle's words completely shocked her.
Unexpectedly, the Lu family today relies entirely on the connections of the Wang family. No wonder no one dares to mess with Wang Xiu. She can stand up straight and take charge of the family, and she can talk to her father-in-law confidently. She seems to be not afraid of anyone?
Chen Shengfang clenched her fists, feeling uneasy.
She didn't plan to go back to the Lu family this time. She even had a quarrel with her eldest brother because of this. He would definitely not care about her now. She knew that he didn't want her to be his concubine and felt that it would be a loss of status.
But if it's with my eldest cousin...
She is willing. After all, her mother-in-law is her eldest aunt, and she cannot bear any grievance. No matter how powerful Wang Xiu is, she still has no children after marrying into the Lu family for two years. This is her chance.
The more Chen Shengfang thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep. But she had been at Lu's house for two days and she still hadn't had a chance to talk to Lu Yunhong.
At this moment, Chen Lizhu got up when she saw that her sister was still asleep.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, are you worried about your mother?"
"Don't worry, aunt is very nice."
Chen Shengfang turned around and looked at her silly sister, her eyes calm and calm.
It is understandable that the stepmother has her own children and her own selfish motives. She and her brother also have their own.
But her stepmother wants to interfere with her marriage, which she cannot allow. They have been living peacefully together for so many years. Since her stepmother wants to break up with her, how can she not let her go?
"Go to sleep quickly. I made my mother angry today. I'm afraid she will come over to scold me later."
After hearing this, Chen Lizhu got up with some worry.
"Then I'd better wait with my sister."
Chen Shengfang looked at her sister, sighed softly, and then stepped forward and said, "That's it, let's go to bed first. Mom probably won't come over tonight."
Before going to bed, Chen Lizhu grabbed her sister's wrist and asked: "That Duan Xiucai has been arrested, why is my eldest uncle still so angry?"
Chen Shengfang paused and said calmly: "Maybe it's because of my eldest cousin, she is the daughter of the Wang family."
"What happened to the Wang family?"
"The Wang family is very powerful!"
"Is it more powerful than the official my eldest uncle was before?"
"Yes, it's even better than that!"
"Ah? Didn't the eldest cousin marry into the Lu family? No wonder she doesn't seem to be afraid of the eldest uncle or aunt at all, not even the eldest cousin."
Chen Lizhu said, but she didn't know that she stabbed her sister in the heart silently.
is not that right?
Wang Xiu is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family. It is impossible for the Lu family to abandon her. Even the eldest brother said that the Lu family must count on the Wang family to revive.
So even if she had any ideas, she could only plan them quietly and not expose them before they came to fruition. Otherwise, her fate would be similar to Duan Qiwen's.
Chen Shengfang's breathing became heavier. She patted her sister on the shoulder and whispered: "Go to sleep."
Chen Lizhu nodded and muttered softly: "If the eldest brother wins the first prize in the future, can we be like the eldest cousin and marry anyone without fear of being bullied?"
"Sister, I actually envy my eldest cousin. My eldest cousin is so kind to her."
Chen Shengfang closed her eyes. She didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. This made her feel that she was humiliating herself.
…
In the side room on the other side, after Lu Yunzhu fell asleep, Lu Yunyuan quietly climbed into her sister's bed.
Lu Yunran, who was not yet asleep, saw her coming, opened the warm quilt and let her lie down.
"Sister, why do you think Cousin Fang didn't recognize Duan Qiwen today? Is it because she was really afraid that Duan Qiwen was here to pester her?"
Hearing this, Lu Yunran sneered: "How is that possible? My aunt really thinks the Duan family is good. If the person the Duan family likes is Shengfang, then my aunt will not come to our house."
"I think it was the eldest brother who walked in front of the eldest sister-in-law. Shengfang probably recognized him."
Lu Yunyuan paused and said in surprise: "Does she want to see my sister-in-law be embarrassed?"
"What on earth is she thinking? My sister-in-law bought her new clothes today, and I saw that she didn't hesitate when choosing them!"
Lu Yunran looked at the ceiling of the tent, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Who knows, anyway, if she wants to do anything to hurt my sister-in-law, I will never allow it."
Lu Yunyuan also said quickly: "Yes, my sister-in-law is so kind. When our house was ransacked, my sister-in-law secretly took our jewelry out. After leaving Beijing, she was afraid that we would have no pocket money, so she took out the banknotes several times to buy things in her wallet.
Put it inside."
"My parents don't say anything, but they know in their hearts that my sister-in-law is kind to us."
"If Cousin Fang wants to make a bad idea, we will tell our parents and send her back to the Chen family."
The two sisters had finalized their decision, but they didn't know that Wang Xiu was fast asleep over there and didn't take Chen Shengfang's little thoughts into consideration at all. She was considering whether to accept Lu Yunhong, not to mention the one who coveted him, but
A little girl who doesn't even know who she covets.
Because he slept well the night before, Wang Xiu woke up at dawn.
It was rare that Lu Yunhong was still with her, and she found that she slept on Lu Yunhong's hand all night.
She touched Lu Yunhong's wrist and heard Lu Yunhong say: "Don't touch it, it's numb."
Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing and said: "Idiot!"
As he said this, he couldn't bear it anymore and started to rub it for him carefully.
Gradually, Lu Yunhong opened his eyes and looked at her quietly.
The light coming in from the window was hazy, but her face gradually became clearer in the light and shadow, with soft eyebrows and a sweet smile.
Lu Yunhong's heart was tickled. Isn't this what the so-called husband and wife are?
Harmony and beauty, taking care of each other.
"Do you feel better?"
"better."
"Then get up quickly, I guess someone will come to your door today."
Wang Xiu said and pulled Lu Yunhong up.
Lu Yunhong didn't have the habit of staying in bed, but for some reason, he fell back.
By the way, Wang Xiu was also knocked down. If Rongrong hadn't heard them getting up and brought some wash water, she probably wouldn't have even thought of getting up early today.
Poor Lu Yunhong was punched twice by Wang Xiu when Rongrong opened the door and came in.
Rongrong only saw a gust of wind and was a little confused. She hurriedly put down the washbasin and left.
Wang Xiu knew that he had been misunderstood, so he glared at Lu Yunhong and got up first.
As a result, the couple had just finished washing up and had not even used their breakfast when Nan Nan came back to report that Magistrate Zhou was here.
Wang Xiu looked at Lu Yunhong and hummed: "What did I say?"
Lu Yunhong said: "Don't worry, Zhou Xu is not stupid and will not plead for Duan Qiwen."
Wang Xiudao: "That's not what I'm worried about. Anyway, it's caused trouble for us. Don't even think about having a rest these days."
Lu Yunhong thought about it and said, "Leave this matter to me. You go and play leaf cards with Yun Ran and the others."
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up. What's so good about playing the leaf tiles? He wanted to play mahjong. He immediately changed the leaf tiles and asked Qin Yan to send them to the county to find a jewelry store to make them. It was best to use white agate.
With the entertainment projects coming in the future, Wang Xiu was in a good mood and planned to count the people in the village who gave New Year gifts and return the gifts together.
At this time Qin Yan's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, came in and said that a young man named Pei Shan was here.
"Who are you talking about?" Wang Xiu was startled.
Lu said: "The tall and thin boy, who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, said that the young lady in our house bought the painting before. But I asked the eldest lady and them, and they all said they didn't have it."
Wang Xiu raised his hand to indicate that she understood.
His name is Pei Shan? Is he the Pei Shan she knows?
Suddenly, Wang Xiu felt his ears buzzing, and an inexplicable tremor rose in his heart.
