Ms. Xin was a little anxious, "Sister Ling, I am not trying to defend myself, nor am I going to excuse the crimes she committed. We, the Lu family, have received great favor from you. You saved my life. If you want
You can take it at any time, I have no complaints..."
"Sister Xin." Ling Xuewei interrupted her, "If I wanted your lives, I would have wanted them when I came back, so why wait until now?"
"Let the past go by. I don't want to pursue it anymore. I also told Lu Ting that I have clear grudges and one person's fault will not implicate others. Since you are back, you can stay here with peace of mind.
.After all, back then, Yi'er also called me aunt. Children should not bear the faults of adults. Sister Xin, you also have to consider Yi'er's future."
Ling Xuewei knew what Xin wanted to say.
I also understand her concerns.
Ling Xuewei came to see her today just to say everything that needed to be said. As for the Lu family's choice, that depends on their own affairs.
"Thank you, really thank you..."
These words finally dispelled Xin's worries. She was so excited that she burst into tears. Finally, she dragged her sick body and knelt down in front of Ling Xuewei.
Ling Xuewei couldn't help but sigh when she saw that this noble lady who was once in her prime had turned into such a cautious person.
Ling Xuewei stayed in the Lu family for a long time before coming out. The place where the Lu family lives now is still the former Lu Mansion, but the "Lu Mansion" has been changed to "Lu House".
After three years, the courtyard has long since deteriorated, with cracks on the walls and desolation everywhere.
There are no more than twenty Lu clan members returning to the Eastern Region this time.
After the disaster in the Lu family, many of the maids and guards ran away, leaving only a few very loyal old slaves who have been with them to take care of them in the past few years.
In order to save their lives, some descendants of the Lu clan voluntarily left the Lu clan three years ago, drew a clear line with them, and completely severed ties with them.
It can be said that the entire Lu family is already on the verge of collapse.
After coming out of the Lu family, Ling Xuewei got on the carriage and the carriage drove back slowly.
She could feel that the Lu family and others' respect for her was mixed with fear and caution.
Ling Xuewei knew why the Lu family was like this. In three years, everything had really changed.
After going through hardships and displacement, the pride of being a member of the Lu family has been smoothed away. Sister Xin is groveling today just to fight for a future for her son.
She knew this was their last chance.
Ling Xuewei is testing, so why not the other party?
However, Mrs. Xin was very smart and knew that if the grudge in Ling Xuewei's heart was not eliminated, Lu Yi would have no future.
Parents who love their children must have far-reaching plans.
Ling Xuewei sighed heavily, whatever, just let nature take its course.
…
A few days later.
Mianmian found out that her brother Lu was back and was happy to invite him over to play.
Ling Xuewei didn't stop her either.
Lu Yi came over and was a little reserved at first. Mianmian was very innocent and didn't notice anything wrong. She still held his hand as before. Brother Lu called him "Brother Lu".
This made Lu Yi very embarrassed.
Diandian's expression was calm, and at first glance it looked the same as before. After greeting him, Lu Yi relaxed after a while and smiled again on his face.
In the past, Lu Yi was proud and willful. Unexpectedly, three years later, he became taciturn.
The faults of adults should not be borne by children. Ling Xuewei does not want to care about the rules among the sects of the gods in the world of prosperity and loss. At least in her case, she does not want to see this. She does not want the children to be pure.
Friendship is tainted with any philistine and filth.
Ling Xuewei let the three children play by themselves while she went to prepare some snacks and fruits.
An hour later, she went to call back the little ones who were playing in the courtyard.
Mianmian's little face was pink because she was running around so much, which made her round, watery eyes even more beautiful. She had a pair of pear dimples on her cheeks, which were both breasts and cute. She ran in with her little short legs.
, looks like a glutinous rice dumpling.
Then there are two young boys who are as tall as bamboo sticks.
Diandian walked in with a sullen face, like an iceberg, but he was carrying a small pink hot water bottle with a cerebellar ax with a tiger head and a tiger head engraved on it.
The person who walked in half a step behind him was Lu Yi.
Lu Yi was originally two years older than Mianmian and Diandian, and half a head taller than Diandian.
Lu Yi arrived but didn't come in. Ling Xuewei looked at him, "Why don't you come over?"
The young boy looked embarrassed. Ling Xuewei followed his gaze downwards and understood after seeing the mud spots on his heels and the blanket on the ground that was as clean as snow.
"It's okay, come here."
Ling Xuewei's tone was gentle, and she walked over and pulled him directly, "Why bother, the snacks won't taste good when they get cold."
He didn't say much, but he protected the young man's self-esteem very well.
Lu Yi suddenly came over and sat down, looking at the rich ingredients on the table, glutinous rice cakes, chestnut cakes, steamed custard eggs, mung bean cakes, salted egg cakes, hibiscus cakes... and many fresh and delicious fruits that were still dripping with water.
, peaches, lychees, cherries, and even watermelons.
Most of these are not available in this season. In the past, Lu Yi was the direct son of the Lu family, so he naturally did not value these things. But now, things are different. In this year of great disaster, even the children of the aristocratic family may not be able to eat them.
There are so many fresh and tender fruits.
He sat there upright, not daring to move for a moment.
Mianmian was already eating next to her, her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel.
"Lu Gege, why don't you eat?" Mianmian looked at him in confusion with her big, pure eyes.
"I, I'm not hungry..."
However, just after he finished speaking, Lu Yi's stomach growled.
His face suddenly turned red!
Mianmian blinked and was about to say something when a piece of chestnut cake was stuffed into her mouth. She pinched her soft chubby face and said, "Eat yours."
"Gege, can't you be gentler?" Mianmian said inarticulately with something in her mouth.
"Eating won't stop your mouth."
Diandian glanced at her with disgust, seeing that her fleshy face was full of dirt, and while she was talking about disgust, she naturally picked up the handkerchief and wiped it off for her.
"Slow down, or you may choke."
"Uh-huh……"
This is how the two got along. Ling Xuewei looked away with a smile, looked at Lu Yi, put some snacks for him in the bowl, "Eat, remember you liked to eat these things before, so you made some."
"
Ling Xuewei's eyes are gentle and her voice is as thin as running water, giving people a warm feeling.
For some reason, Lu Yi's eyes suddenly became sore.
He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to be seen.
But Ling Xuewei's eyes naturally saw his expression change instantly, and she felt sour in her heart and sighed.
No matter how well you pretend, you are still just a child, and you still feel aggrieved in your heart.
