He took the wine, raised his head and took a sip, which made his lips turn redder. He corked the wine and threw it back into the hands of the man behind him.
"Thanks."
"Tsk." The man took a sip from the wine bottle, narrowed his eyes lovingly, and said with unrivaled elegance, "It's so cute."
The two people's donkey cart drove slowly on the road where the snow had melted, heading towards the rock village.
*
An Shuyao's family
The rich aroma of hot pot comes from inside the thatched house.
Thanks to An Jingzhou, their table was full of meat, including sliced mutton, sliced lean meat, sliced pork belly, plus soup made with big bones, and a pot full of spiritual spring water.
It was served with some side dishes. An Shuyao left some fungus, which was delicious in hot pot. The cucumbers in the vegetable field were ripe, so she picked two more to make cold dishes.
He also bought a lot of side dishes, and tonight's meal was particularly rich.
An Jingzhou couldn't wait to start using his chopsticks.
The thin slices of meat cooked instantly when they were boiled in the soup. When he ate it in one bite, it was hot and delicious.
"It's delicious! Little sister, please eat more. There will never be another one like you in this world who is so good at your craftsmanship."
Lu Jin insisted on eating without speaking and ate very quietly. An Hao sat on the chair with a small bowl, his face turned red while eating.
"Knock knock."
The courtyard door rang, and An Yunrui pushed An Jingzhou, who was eating happily: "Old Qi, go and open the door."
An Jingzhou put down his bowl dissatisfied: "Who are you? Why are you here if you don't go home for dinner?"
Everyone paid no attention to him, but it took a long time to open the door, but there was no movement outside.
An Yunrui also put down the bowl: "I'll go out and take a look."
Similarly, after An Jingzhou, there was no movement when these two people went out.
An Shuyao and Liu Yuxue looked at each other, and Liu Yuxue blinked: "Yaoyao, they won't encounter robbers, right?"
Robbery?
Come to her door?
Probably not.
She was about to go out. As soon as she stood up, two figures walked in. An Shuyao was slightly stunned when she saw them.
The foggy blue figure in front looked around the small house for a short time, almost seeing the bottom at a glance. The house was small but not big.
He turned to look at An Shuyao, smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see, Yaoyao."
There was a young man in yellow behind him. His beautiful face had no expression, and he nodded slightly towards An Shuyao: "Little sister."
An Shuyao was shocked. The two people in front of her were her third brother An Yue and her fifth brother An Yunzheng.
Liu Yuxue was also stunned. An Shuyao's brothers were really more handsome than the other. Each one had his own merits, which was really eye-catching.
Lu Jin finished the last bite calmly, then wiped his mouth and broke the silence: "What? The Fengping Hou Mansion was ransacked, and you even came."
An Yue passed the rank of Sanyuan, and became the first assistant of the first rank. He is truly the pride of heaven. With him here, the An family cannot decline. Lu Jin did not expect that he would really come.
An Yue smiled and did not try to hide anything: "It was almost confiscated, but it was not the An family that committed the crime, but that we left Beijing on our own initiative."
Lu Jin raised his eyebrows: "You don't want your official position anymore?"
"No more." He looked at An Shuyao and said with a smile: "There are some truths that must be known to my sister. We have hurt her and have not been forgiven in this life, and I feel uneasy."
An Shuyao opened his lips slightly. Unlike other brothers, An Shuyao couldn't lose his temper with An Yue. When he smiled, it was like a spring breeze, which could soothe people's emotions.
She held her breath and said in a cold tone: "What's the truth?"
An Yue did not rush to speak, but looked at An Yunzheng who was already sitting at An Jingzhou's seat and was about to eat and said, "Can you let me have a hot meal first? I haven't eaten for a long time and I'm a little hungry."
An Shuyao: "..."
She went to bring two bowls of rice and handed them to them.
After the two of them sat down, An Jingzhou, who came in behind them, changed seats.
When An Hao saw An Yue and An Yunzheng, he was so excited that he held a small bowl and climbed off the stool. After An Yue sat down, he walked to An Yue and said, "Uncle Third, where are my father and mother?"
An Yue looked at him and smiled and touched his head: "Hao'er has grown a lot taller. Is it fun to be here with your little aunt?"
An Hao nodded his head: "There are many little friends in the school here, and Brother Huzi, he is so kind to me, and my little aunt cooks so many delicious dishes every day, and it's snowing here. I
I’ve never seen so much beautiful snow.”
The child's voice was milky and full of liveliness, and the atmosphere in the room became warm again because of his childlike words.
An Yue smiled: "Just be happy, your father will be here soon."
An Hao frowned with an unhappy look on his face: "Huh, everyone of you said so, but my father still hasn't come. He has never wanted Hao'er anymore."
An Yunzheng took the time to look at him and said simply: "No, we will be there soon."
An Hao didn't know how soon it would be soon, but several uncles had said so, so he could only wait.
Since An Yue arrived, An Jingzhou, who had always been talkative, had shut his mouth. Lu Jin was quite interested in the truth in his mouth.
Fortunately, An Shuyao washed a lot of side dishes tonight, which is more than enough for a room full of people.
After Liu Yuxue finished eating, she went back to her room to escape.
An Yunrui quietly put away the bowls. After the whole room was tidy, Lu Jin said quietly: "You can tell me the truth."
An Yue dusted off his clothes slowly: "Yao Yao is our biological sister, Yu Ruochu pretended to be her, and the person behind her who was adding fuel to the fire was Lu Xian."
"What?" An Jingzhou shouted in disbelief, and then he covered his mouth after realizing that he had lost his composure: "Didn't Mom say that Yu Ruochu is the real daughter of the Hou family? What on earth is going on?"
"Mom was also deceived." An Yue said: "Yu Ruochu found out about Yaoyao's birthmark from somewhere, and then found an old man from the Hou Mansion who was sent away before. The old man testified that the two were exchanged. She said
It's clear and logical, and Yaoyao's temperament in those few years was different from before, so my mother felt more and more that the gentle and polite Yu Ruochu was her daughter."
"I've been investigating this matter for several months. Lu Xian's mistake was that he didn't get a real birthmark on Yu Ruochu."
An Jingzhou was shocked: "Isn't it true? Birthmarks can be faked these days? So cruel!"
"She just got it with a special potion that melts when it touches water. It happened that her mother saw her the night she returned to the Marquis Mansion."
"Since then, she has never returned home."
An Yunrui clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth: "His grandma's Lu Xian still wants to fake it and ask all of us in the An family to support him? What a good trick, and how did Yu Ruochu know about it?
Birthmark?"
After all, An Shuyao's birthmark is only known to her family members and those closest to her. How do outsiders know about it? The location of the birthmark is exactly the same.
An Yue narrowed her eyes slightly: "This is also very strange to me. I checked the maids who had been with Yaoyao before, and they also used special means to force confessions. It was not them."
