Chapter 70 What are you doing here?
Everything that happened this morning seemed a little weird, and the more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
Ever since they went to Aunt Wang's courtyard, both their grandmother and the sisters have been acting strangely.
And the old scumbag too, just now he was kneeling and slapping himself in the face, looking like the sky is falling.
He must have been...kicked in the head by a donkey again!
Listening to her inner voice, Lu Xinlan sighed with amusement, "Maybe they suddenly discovered some long-standing secrets, and they all couldn't stand it."
"Long time? How long?"
"About thirty years ago?"
Lu Xinlan probed with a hint of guidance.
But it's too strange to have someone hear your inner voice.
Lu Xinran obviously lacked experience and had not read enough novels before traveling through time. He did not think at all that his inner voice would be broadcast live simultaneously when he was flipping through the melon-eating system.
Although I felt something was a little strange, I still sighed with regret.
"What a coincidence today! Wherever we go, Grandfather will be there."
His grandmother was sad and disappointed to see him, and they no longer had a hot and lively lunch to share.
Listening to her regret, Lu Xinlan thought of the scene in her previous life when she was lying alone on the hospital bed, and couldn't help but say something.
"Let Bi Tao go to the kitchen to order some food. You can come to my room for lunch, okay?"
"Is it okay?"
Lu Xinran, who seemed a little lost just now, instantly became energetic again.
"I want to eat roast pork and chicken pot."
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it."
As soon as the two sisters arrived at Lu Xinlan's yard, the nanny beside Zhao came over with a smile.
"My dear, Madam has asked someone to prepare a lot of your favorite food and wants to invite you over for lunch."
"My mother-in-law is ill. As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she go and take care of her? How come she doesn't have the self-awareness that a daughter-in-law should have?"
How could a servant like her casually comment on the right and wrong of her master? The nanny who came to deliver the message laughed dryly, sweat already oozing out of her forehead.
Lu Xinlan pulled her in and sat her down, then turned around and said to the nanny, "Sister is here with me, so you don't have to go to mother's place for lunch. Nanny, go back and tell mother that I will go to see her later."
She had already brought the man back to her own yard, and it was impossible for her to abandon him and leave just because Zhao came looking for her.
Lu Xinran held the tea bowl, smiled contentedly and took a sip.
[Zhao is stupid and foolish. I don't know what he is planning. Maybe he is deliberately trying to embarrass me. He is stupid and evil.]
Listening to her inner thoughts, Lu Xinlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Although Zhao's actions lacked some rules and regulations, she repeatedly showed that she disliked her own daughter.
But after all that has happened, there's no need to be angry with her.
I probably called her over because I wanted to ask her what happened throughout the morning.
As she expected, she didn't go to Zhao's house and ran here on her own.
When they saw Lu Xinran when they entered the room, the mother and daughter rolled their eyes at each other.
[Do you understand first come first served? I came here first! If she knew what was going on, she should have waited until I got back before coming over. ]
[But she is stupid, foolish and self-righteous, so we can't expect her to understand these. ]
[You are not that good yourself, and I don't know where you get the nerve and confidence to dislike me. 】
Zhao almost rolled her eyes when she heard this series of urgent and dense voices.
She was so angry that she wanted to go up to her and pull her mouth, but she was afraid that it would prove her words "I'm nothing!"
Lu Xinlan had a headache watching the two of them fighting like elementary school kids, and walked forward to separate them with his body.
"Why did mother come here in person? But Mammy didn't tell you everything?"
There was only one place to sit in the room, at the table. While she was hesitating, Zhao had already sat down opposite Lu Xinran and poured her a bowl of tea.
She waved her hand to signal all the servants in the room to leave, and then lowered her voice and asked curiously, "Did you go to Aunt Wang's place this morning? What happened? Why did your grandfather seal Aunt Wang's yard as soon as you left?"
It sounds like it has been sealed off, but in reality it is just locking people up and leaving them to fend for themselves.
"He had to return the treasure before. He heard that you went to Aunt Wang's yard and hurried back. As soon as you left, he turned hostile."
Zhao was so curious that he was worried.
If it weren't for the fact that it was against etiquette for her as a daughter-in-law to visit her father-in-law's aunt, she would have gone with him today.
Lu Xinran's eyes also lit up, wanting to hear what she had to say.
Lu Xinlan had a headache and tried to speak in a language that would not be muted.
"It was suddenly discovered that Aunt Wang had an affair before entering the mansion, and Grandfather also found out about this by chance. After we left, I don't know what Grandfather said to Aunt Wang, but he sealed off her yard."
"Did you find out that she was having an affair? Or was it before she entered the mansion?"
Zhao was instantly excited, and her hands holding the handkerchief were shaking slightly.
"How did you find out? Aunt Wang is so thoughtful, how could you find out..."
As she was talking, she realized something was wrong. She turned around and looked at Lu Xinran, who was looking forward to what would happen next, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She paused again and again, then turned her eyes away from her and asked again.
"Where is Aunt Jin?"
Why is that one closed too?
Lu Xinlan said simply: "My fourth uncle was bought from the countryside by her. He is not my grandfather's child."
Zhao: “?!!”
What a shocking piece of news!
How could she discover something so secretive and that happened so many years ago?
Zhao's heart suddenly became a little upset. When she was five years old, her gentle and beautiful mother suddenly fell ill and passed away within half a month.
Only half a year after his mother passed away, his father married a second wife.
Less than seven months after my stepmother got married, she gave birth to the eldest son in the family.
She had never doubted these things before, but after hearing one bizarre story after another recently, she couldn't help but wonder if there was any other hidden reason behind her mother's death.
Lu Xinran waited for a long time but received no detailed explanation. She only heard what she had seen in the system before.
She curled her lips in disappointment, picked up the tea bowl, and glanced at Zhao, whose eyes were red and staring at her with scorching eyes.
【Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't say anything and didn't do anything just now.】
[I don’t know how many days of life these two aunts’ big melons added to my life. ]
Thinking of this, she called out to the system, and the system hummed coyly, "Seven days in total."
"Why are there so few? Such a big, old-fashioned melon is so worthless?"
"How about you go to the Dali Temple with your fellow villager more often? She does the trace identification and evidence collection, and we use eating melons to complete the logic and evidence chain, isn't it just right?"
Tong Yin cautiously tested her reaction. Lu Xinran sighed. It seemed that if he wanted to survive, he had to shamelessly move closer to Tang Quyan.
I hope his wife Liu won't think too much...
