Seeing her quick reaction, Shi Chunquin smiled and said, "Really just shopping?"
Lu Tao was stunned again, and when she saw Shi Chunfen looking at her intently, her eyes seemed to have seen through everything, she trembled with fright, and quickly got up and knelt beside the bed, "Grandma, I know I was wrong!"
Seeing her admitting her mistake so quickly, the smile on Shi Chunfen's face faded and she said seriously: "Since you are so smart and can see through me at once, why don't you be more frank to avoid disappointing me."
She had said so. Lu Tao would be a fool if he didn't confess. She lowered her head and said with some fear, "About half a year ago, Hong Xing suddenly came to me and said that she was rescued from Hualiu Village and was taken to
The capital was abandoned again. I saw that she had no relatives in the capital and was infected with the disease, so I kept helping her secretly, hoping to help her. I didn't expect that this group of people would last for half a year. The disease on her body has now gradually faded away.
She's getting better, and she won't infect others even if she comes in contact with others, so I've been visiting her more frequently recently, but unexpectedly, it attracted my grandma's attention."
"It turns out it's been half a year." Shi Chunfen nodded slightly. It seemed that she was right. Not long after the Jinluan Palace incident, Hongxing was abandoned by Mr. Liu. She was helpless in the capital and could only come to Lutao.
Lu Tao has always regarded her as a good sister, so naturally he couldn't bear to watch her die. The two of them have been dating for half a year, and Lu Tao has not done anything detrimental to Shi Chunfen, so Shi Chunfen will naturally not doubt her.
loyalty.
"You get up and talk first." Shi Chunfen reached out to help her up and said with a smile: "Actually, I didn't ask you to come because I didn't want to question anything. I just saw that you were in a trance during this period, so I was afraid that you would encounter some troubles, so
Then I asked someone to investigate, and I didn’t expect to find an old friend as soon as I checked, so I was a little surprised.”
Seeing her use "old friend" to describe Hongxing, Lutao was stunned and said directly: "Don't grandma hate Hongxing?"
Shi Chunfen raised her eyebrows, "Why do you think I hate her?"
She had clearly told Lu Tao about what happened at the Chu family, and the other party should not think that she had a grudge against Hong Xing. Why did she suddenly say this? The only explanation is that she knew about Jin Luandian.
It was something that was said from Hongxing’s mouth. I’m afraid only the two of them knew how much polish it had gone through.
Lu Tao choked for a moment and realized that she had let something slip. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Grandma has a sharp eye. I really can't hide anything from you."
She lowered her head and said frankly: "Hongxing told me that she went to Jinluan Palace to testify against the Chu family, and that she was deceived because that person rescued her from Hualiu Village and promised to treat her.
That's why she did this. Although she is indeed a little obsessed, it was her grandma who imprisoned her in Hualiu Village at that time. It is natural for her to be resentful towards you. Later, she was used by someone with malicious intentions, thinking that she had found a life-saving straw, so she did this.
It's a stupid thing, I hope grandma will spare her life because of her extenuating circumstances."
She spoke logically, and if Shi Chunfen hadn't clearly remembered how vicious Hong Xing's accusation was, she might have been deceived by the other party.
Yes, it was wrong for her to send Hongxing to Hualiu Village, but the root cause of everything was that Hongxing betrayed her first, and also tried to kill her first. Later, in the Jinluan Palace, she wanted Shi Chunquin for the second time.
Fate, the viciousness of the other person's heart cannot be dismissed by just saying "there are extenuating circumstances".
Shi Chunfen was too lazy to explain so much to Lu Tao. After all, what Hong Xing said in the Jinluan Palace was not something she could explain clearly in just a few words. She looked at Lu Tao steadily and asked: "What about her? Can she?"
Have you ever found your way back and let go of everything in the past?"
Lu Tao was slightly startled and was speechless for a while.
In fact, she was in a daze during this period because after Hongxing recovered from her illness, she began to think about revenge, and even wanted to drag her into the water with her.
She has been with Shi Chunfen for so long, and although she doesn't agree that she was so cruel to Hongxing in the past, she also knows that he brought it upon himself. In addition, Shi Chunfen once sent someone to save Hongxing, so she doesn't think that Shi Chunfen deserves to die.
But the obsession has taken root in Hongxing's heart, how could she be persuaded by her?
The palms and backs of the hands were all flesh, so Lu Tao lost a lot of weight.
"I have already told her that grandma does not intend to kill her..." Lu Tao said euphemistically: "Maybe she will figure it out on her own in a few days."
"So she still wants to harm me, right?" Shi Chunquin quickly grasped the point.
Lu Tao was speechless and could only smile bitterly: "Grandma, please don't worry, I will never help her."
This is true. Not to mention that she doesn't think what Hongxing did is right. Even if the other party is really pitiful, she is not so good to her that she has to sacrifice her own future to avenge her. After all, in
As a maid in the Chu family, she was well fed and housed, and Shi Chunquin trusted her very much. Only if she was crazy would she be willing to abandon all of this to help Hongxing do harm to others.
Seeing her steadfast promise, Shi Chunfen's eyes softened a lot, "But are you sure that even if you don't help her, she won't hurt me?"
Lu Tao was stunned and said blankly: "Grandma means..."
Shi Chunfen looked at her and said seriously: "Hongxing was brought all the way to the capital. Since the other party has made up his mind to harm me, how could he casually abandon this chess piece? She deliberately found you and cried in front of you.
,Did you never suspect that this was another trap?"
"This..." Lu Tao hesitated.
She was so smart, so of course she had doubts, but because Hongxing never showed her flaws, she didn't think much about it.
In other words...she didn't want to think about it at all.
Helping Hongxing was completely out of instinct. She didn't want to use the greatest evil to speculate on her former good sister. To this day, she still doesn't want to believe that Hongxing is a heinous person.
Seeing her silent look, Shi Chunfen smiled and said: "I also know that it is hard for you to believe this without any evidence, but I am not saying these words to hope that you will take sides, or that I hope you will help me harm her, but
I hope you can keep your eyes open to avoid being taken advantage of."
"Grandma..." Lu Tao looked at her blankly, speechless for a long time.
Shi Chunfen took out a bag of silver that had been prepared for a long time from the bedside, handed it to Lu Tao, and said calmly: "It cost you a lot to treat Hongxing, right? Since her flowers and willows are caused by me, then
It should be treated by me, and you can keep the money and continue to help her. As for her thoughts... I will take precautions on my own, and there is no need for you to intervene."
