Chapter 7: Father’s hemorrhoids flare up?
After sending the man away, Lu Xinran stood under the eaves, unable to figure out why Lu Xinlan came to her courtyard.
She said she had something to tell her, but when she started to say it, she felt like she was suffocating and she looked like she would faint at any moment.
In the end, he left without saying anything...
What did this man come to see her for?
Wasn't it just to amuse her, and then let the news spread that she almost fainted here, so that Zhao and the others would hate her even more?
Thinking of the scheming and methods of the heroine in the original book, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. It's not impossible!
She slowly moved into the room, looked at the snacks on the table that had not been removed, washed her hands, and came back to sit at the table again.
"Tongzi, if the heroine wants to frame me, can you find out immediately?"
"Of course, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful."
Well, she felt relieved with this sentence.
Anyway, this life was given to me for nothing. I should not let myself go hungry if I can live one more day.
In the evening, Lu Kangde and Lu Jinchuan returned home one after another.
Lu Xinran learned from the system that Lu Xinlan rushed over after receiving the news that they were returning home.
He recounted in detail what had happened today, without exaggerating or saying anything that might be misunderstood, and even... said a few good words for her.
She looked at the system intelligence and always felt that something was wrong.
The heroine takes such good care of her!
You are not really planning on making a big move!
"Didn't I tell you before I left that brain damage is a disease and needs to be treated?"
The faint sound of a child's voice echoed in his mind. Lu Xinran paused with the hand holding the snack, then hummed and stuffed the snack into his mouth again.
"Girl, the master wants you to come over."
A maid passed the message in the courtyard. Lu Xinran, who had already learned the news from the intelligence system, stood up leisurely, patted the crumbs on his body, changed his clothes and went out.
In the study room in the front yard, Lu Xinlan was handing the letter he had found in Nanny Qin's room to Lu Kant.
"Father, Qin has already confessed that my sister and I were maliciously swapped, and here is also the testimony that Madam Zhou instigated her. Can we report this to the authorities?"
"Call the police?"
【Report to the authorities? 】
Two voices rang in Lu Xinlan's ears in succession. She knew Lu Xinran had arrived without turning around.
[How could he possibly report this to the police? Fang Suxin's husband is his boss, so his wife and children are not as important as their future.]
The sarcastic voice sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time. Lu Kant's face darkened slightly and he turned to look at the person who came.
As a result, they saw Lu Xinran just entered the yard and was walking towards them.
The servants around looked normal, and Lu Xinlan beside him looked respectful... What was going on? Who was talking?
[You asked me to come here just to say that this matter cannot be made public, that the superiors cannot be offended, that the Lu family cannot be laughed at by the people in the capital, that Lu Xinlan’s true identity cannot be known, and that her marriage with the fourth prince cannot be delayed.]
[Tsk, a bunch of high-sounding reasons, you have to consider them everywhere, why don’t they consider me. ]
[If you think I'm a nuisance, why did you bring me back? I can survive in the countryside. You think I'm giving up, but you're trying to be kind to me. It's really disgusting.]
The series of complaints was so intense that Lu Kant couldn't recover from his shock.
He looked at Lu Xinran with a slight surprise, and then was shocked to find that what he heard was her inner voice.
His pupils trembled. He could not have imagined that the man who came with his head slightly lowered, looking honest and easy to bully, actually despised him as worthless in his heart.
There were flames in his eyes. Lu Xinran quickly raised his head to take a look, then immediately lowered his head.
[Why are you suddenly angry? Are you not like Zhao, who doesn't want to look at me any more? If they want to drive me out of Lu's house, can I ask for some money? ]
The chaotic voices in his heart once again drilled into his ears, and Lu Kant closed his eyes in silence.
"Come in and sit down."
"Yes, father."
Lu Xinran walked in obediently and chose to sit next to Lu Xinlan between him and Lu Xinlan.
The heroine had just told her off without exaggerating, so she decided to trust her for the time being.
Feeling what Lu Xinran was thinking, Lu Xinlan breathed a sigh of relief.
This "fellow villager" who likes to supplement his brain is not someone he cannot cultivate!
With Lu Xinran's previous words in mind, Lu Kant found it difficult to say the words he had prepared in his mind.
He didn't know whether Lu Xinlan heard what was in his mind. He felt awkward and uncomfortable at this moment, and was a little restless.
[Why is he moving all the time? A gentleman should remain calm and unmoved, right? Or is he suffering from hemorrhoids? Let me check the intelligence system.]
What intelligence system?
Lu Kant was slightly stunned when he suddenly heard the extremely loud inner voice again, and then he felt socially dead in front of his daughter.
[Hey, he doesn't have hemorrhoids, why are you still fidgeting? But he is so shy, every time he feels uncomfortable, he solves it secretly by himself, using the ointment he got from the imperial physician, hiding in the room and rubbing it on his paws. Neither the concubines nor Mrs. Zhao know that he has such a secret. ]
Lu Kant became even more restless, just like he was when his unspeakable secret broke out.
"You two, go back first. I will discuss this matter carefully with your mother."
"Father, there was quite a commotion in Mother's courtyard today. I'm afraid the news in the mansion will soon reach Madam Zhou's ears."
If you want to pursue it, you must make up your mind immediately.
If we just let it go... Lu Xinlan pursed his lips, feeling that this would be too unfair to the people around him.
Lu Kant heard her unfinished intention and gave her a meaningful look.
"Have you really thought it through?"
"Yes, I have thought it through, father. I just want to give my sister justice."
She is not the original person, and cannot justifiably seize everything that Lu Xinran deserves.
Listening to their riddles, Lu Xinran walked out of the study room in a daze. She looked at Lu Xinlan who was smiling at her gently.
I wanted to ask something, but I was afraid that I would trigger my potential that would last only three episodes. After struggling for a long time, I finally walked away quickly with my head down.
Lu Xinlan listened to her inner voice becoming smaller and smaller, and finally disappearing. Until the other person's figure disappeared on the path, she retracted the smile on her lips and asked the servant beside her.
"Has grandpa returned home?"
"My dear young lady, the old man is back. He just returned to Zhaoyun Courtyard."
Lu Xinlan nodded. Lu Jinchuan had gone to Pei's courtyard, so he should have heard about what happened in the mansion today. There was no need for her to bring up this matter.
"Go back."
She walked onto the path that Lu Xinran had just left, walked faster, and could hear his intermittent voices.
Lu Xinran was thinking about what to eat tonight.
Although the food delivered by the kitchen to each courtyard has its own rules, if your request is not excessive, you can send an order to the kitchen and have them prepare it and deliver it.
She had eaten snacks all day and felt sick in her mouth and stomach, so she wanted to eat something light in the evening.
[Why not ask the chef to prepare some fish slices in sour soup? It will just relieve your greasy feeling and whet your appetite. ]
