Chapter 400 In the Lu family, her eldest brother has no status
Although Ji Yunwei and Song Muting were greatly shocked when they passed by Wangyue Xiaozhu, they were determined to cheer up and return to Beijing to find out the truth.
But when they found Uncle Cao, Uncle Cao had no explanation.
He placed tea in his small courtyard, and the pine branches standing beside him looked like they were old.
The rhododendrons in the corner also grow very tall, forming a sharp contrast with the low camellias.
The white walls are clean, and the open windows let in some sunlight.
A spring afternoon couldn't be more leisurely. The old man also put out a lot of cakes and invited Ji Yunwei and Song Muting to have tea together.
Song Muting sat down, but Ji Yunwei refused to sit aside and said with a cold face: "I never thought that you would always want to harm me?"
Uncle Cao smiled and said: "Thanks to the master's care, I have been able to live a peaceful life for more than 20 years. Now, the grudges have been offset and there is nothing worth remembering."
"Master, if you still listen to my advice, then hold on to the rope of the East Palace and don't let go, otherwise..."
Ji Yunwei was confused after hearing this. His father had always followed the emperor's lead. He and Lu Yunhong were on good terms. Didn't he submit to the East Palace long ago?
"What do you mean by this? You know I'm not smart, so why don't you speak more clearly?"
Uncle Cao smiled, and the sadness in his eyes flashed away.
Song Muting pulled Ji Yunwei to sit down. Just as Ji Yunwei was about to reach out for a red bean bun, he was slapped back by Uncle Cao.
He was about to get angry, but he saw Uncle Cao's hands firmly on the table, and his face became very ugly.
Ji Yunwei sat up suddenly and asked nervously: "How could this happen?"
Song Muting quickly supported Uncle Cao with quick eyes and hands, and said in disbelief: "He has taken poison."
Ji Yunwei said "Ah" with panic in his eyes.
"How come?"
But at this time, Cao Bo was already vomiting blood.
His eyes were wide open because of the pain, but there was no unwillingness or resentment in them. He seemed to be just in too much pain.
He wanted to grab Ji Yunwei's hand, but Ji Yunwei shrank back in fear.
Lu Yunhong was killing people right in front of him, but now Uncle Cao was about to die. He didn't understand that the Ji family clearly had no enemies, and he was just a playboy.
Song Muting called to him loudly: "Ji Yunwei, come and listen to what Uncle Cao said?"
Ji Yunwei came back to his senses, and tears welled up in his eyes. He knelt down beside Uncle Cao, held his hand tightly and said, "What are you doing? I'm just mad.
I’m complaining, but I don’t really want to accuse you!”
"Besides, you are no longer a member of our Ji family, so how am I qualified to take care of you!"
Uncle Cao squeezed his hand tightly, his cloudy eyes were covered with a layer of bloodshot eyes. He gritted his teeth and used his last strength to say to Ji Yunwei: "Don't hate, don't check. He's dead...dead."
Too many people…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunwei felt that his hand was about to be pinched off, but in the next moment, Uncle Cao let go of his hand forever and died.
Ji Yunwei picked up Uncle Cao's hand again and held it, but this time, Uncle Cao's hand was extremely stiff. Although it was still warm, it was like rotten wood, lifeless.
Ji Yunwei shouted in pain: "Uncle Cao, Uncle Cao..."
Song Muting opened his eyes sadly, tears welling up in his eyes.
At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Yunhong hated them so much. If they had found out earlier, wouldn't Uncle Cao have died?
It is spring now, everything is coming back to life, even the grass is growing desperately in the wall holes.
But people who were originally living well chose to take poison and commit suicide in front of them.
…
Zunhua.
After hearing the news that Uncle Cao had taken poison, Zhou Ling placed a cup of good tea next to the azaleas in the mountain stream.
He never thought about attacking the Ji family, and Uncle Cao was too cautious. Or maybe he stayed in the Ji family for too long and regarded the Ji family as his own family.
Since Uncle Cao doesn't want Ji Yunwei to get involved, then he should fulfill his old man's best last wish.
Suddenly, Fan You and Lian Zuo stepped forward and nervously carried Zhou Ling's wheelchair.
In an instant, the three of them were hidden among the tall treetops, and the thick green leaves obscured their traces.
Soon, a pretty little girl in green climbed up the rock and said happily to the bottom: "Second sister, sister-in-law, come quickly, there is a big azalea here!"
Soon, two more figures appeared.
The first person to appear was a woman in a pink and white dress. She was charming and charming, with eyes as gentle as water, just like the clear springs on the mountain. People couldn't help but look at her.
The one at the back was wearing an apricot-colored dress, with a pretty face and bright eyes, red and slightly raised lips, and a bright and generous expression. Although she was smiling slightly, there was a hint of heroism hidden in her eyebrows, and she looked like a lady.
.
Obviously, this is Lu Yunhong's wife, Wang Xiu.
At this time, Lu Yunyuan was heard saying coquettishly: "Why are you running so fast? I don't know if I'm waiting for someone. When they disappear, my sister-in-law and I will go look for them again. I won't go back and tell my elder brother."
Lu Yunzhu was not afraid at all, but said proudly: "You can go ahead and complain. Brother, you don't have to listen to your sister-in-law. I'm not afraid of him."
Lu Yunyuan was speechless and turned to complain to Wang Xiu: "Sister-in-law, look at her, she is becoming more and more unruly."
Wang Xiu was struggling to crawl, and while panting, he waved his hands and said: "Whatever, after you torture my sister-in-law to death, my sister-in-law will bless you in heaven."
Lu Yunyuan burst into laughter and helped her sister-in-law walk back.
Lu Yunzhu also turned around and came back, saying embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong."
Wang Xiu pretended to be an old mother, caressed Lu Yunzhu's pretty face and said, "My good sister, why are you still thinking about your sister-in-law? Don't worry, my sister-in-law is not dead yet!"
On the tree, the branches and leaves seemed to be shaking a little.
A breeze blew by and leaves fell sporadically. Wang Xiu raised his head and said, "It looks a bit dark here."
Lu Yunzhu pointed to the azaleas in full bloom not far away and said happily: "Sister-in-law, look over there, the azaleas are blooming so beautifully."
Wang Xiu caught a glimpse of the tea cups placed under the azaleas.
Ru kiln white porcelain, Maojian, Guizhou.
Good guy, someone came here just now.
Wang Xiu grabbed Lu Yunzhu and said with a warning look on his face: "Don't go there yet."
Lu Yunzhu was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
However, Lu Yunyuan caught a glimpse of the tea cup and said, "There is someone who came here before us, and there is a master."
Lu Yunzhu then saw the tea cup, said "Ah", and said in great surprise: "But we came at dawn, how could it be?"
Wang Xiudao: "There is tea in the mountain stream, but no one is there. Maybe they heard us coming and walked away."
Lu Yunyuan also held her sister tightly, fearing that she would get into trouble recklessly.
Fortunately, although Lu Yunzhu was reluctant to leave, she still nodded, and the three of them immediately returned the same way without making any further stops.
When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Wang Xiu still risked his life and broke some brightly blooming azaleas for Lu Yunzhu, which made up for Lu Yunzhu's regret.
The little girl ran forward happily, with brisk steps.
Lu Yunyuan accompanied her sister-in-law and said with some resentment: "Yunzhu is too childish."
Wang Xiudao: "My daughter's family has been the happiest in the past few years. Let her be."
"By the way, don't tell your elder brother what happened to us just now."
Lu Yunyuan asked: "Why?"
Wang Xiudao: "I smell the fragrance of tea. Those people must not have gone far. Since they don't want to show up, maybe they just want to find a place to relax. If your elder brother knows about it, he will definitely investigate. Everything else is fine.
Now that the Qingming Festival is approaching, I'm worried that someone died in the place we just visited, and today they are here to offer sacrifices. When Yunzhu climbed up, she was alone, and I'm afraid that she will be scared when she thinks about it if she knows about it, so it's better not to bother."
Lu Yunyuan was very moved and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I understand."
Wang Xiu stroked her hair and said with a smile: "Be happy. Don't always think that Yun Ran is married and you are an adult. Even if your eldest sister is not at home, you still have a sister-in-law who will take good care of you.
of."
Lu Yunyuan's eyes turned red, she held Wang Xiu's hand and acted coquettishly, but she thought in her heart that if her elder brother dared to disrespect her sister-in-law in the future, she would definitely take her to take care of her.
But she seemed to have forgotten that her eldest brother generally had no status in the Lu family.
