Chapter 71: Zhao is also a pitiful person

While she was chatting with the system in a daze, Lu Xinlan was quick to notice that something was wrong with Zhao.

She hurried forward and handed the handkerchief to her, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao wiped her eyes and said, "I just suddenly thought of your grandmother. I was only five years old when she passed away. Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Lu Xinlan quickly searched his original memory and remembered everything related to the Su family.

When Lu Xinran came back to his senses and smelled the melon, he quickly opened the system and started searching impatiently.

[I didn't look at it carefully before, but now it seems that there is a reason why Zhao is stupid and dumb. Her stepmother is not a good person either. She is the same kind of person as Jin from Dingkang Marquis's mansion.]

[However, Zhao's character is not as good as Pei Xiuqi's. She was flattered and pampered by others, so she really thought she was more precious than the princess, and she developed a lot of problems. ]

[Arrogant, stubborn, and stupid. Oh, and easily influenced. Even a servant like Nanny Qin can control her.]

[However, her mother suddenly fell ill when she was five years old. It looked like she was poisoned! ]

[The stepmother brought in a step-sister who was only a few months younger than her, and within seven months of that birth she gave birth to another son.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, the melons in the Rong Enbo Mansion must be quite big. 】

[What's wrong with this capital city? Why is it that everything is just glitz and glamour, and there isn't a single household that doesn't have dirty deeds.]

It was the first time that Mrs. Zhao listened to her daughter pointing fingers at her without getting angry. She suddenly realized that everything her daughter said was right.

She was indeed spoiled by her stepmother.

She was different from her step-sister since she was a child. Her step-sister had a nanny who always controlled her every word and action.

She doesn't have to learn anything. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like studying, or playing the piano or practicing calligraphy. Her stepmother always says that it's useless for a girl to learn these things.

As long as I marry into a good family in the future and my husband's family treats me well, that will be enough.

But the stepsister wanted to learn everything. When she was thirteen years old, she was secretly laughed at at the Spring Banquet hosted by the eldest princess, while the stepsister was famous in the capital for her talent and piano skills.

Thinking back carefully, her stepmother also intended to give the marriage between her and Lu Kangde to her step-sister.

But this marriage was arranged by her mother and Pei, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family could not be a girl raised in the Bo's mansion with an unknown father.

She still remembered the day when she exchanged engagement letters with the Lu family, her stepmother broke a set of expensive teacups in the room.

The past events came to her mind one by one, making her face paler.

【Zhao is also a pitiful person. 】

While Zhao was reminiscing, Lu Xinran also went through her entire life from childhood to adulthood.

[It would be nice if I could go to the Rong Enbo Mansion and meet her stepmother and father. Maybe I could find something new.]

She was still hesitating whether to persuade Lu Xinran to go with them to the Bo's Mansion, but when she heard her thoughts, she immediately felt relieved.

"Mother, my sister hasn't returned to my grandparents' home to burn incense for my grandmother since she came back. How about we go to the uncle's house someday?"

Zhao nodded immediately as she said, and as if she was afraid that Lu Xinran would go back on his word, she left in a hurry after saying just one sentence.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Lu Xinran looked at her back in silence, "What's wrong with her?"

"Think about some sad things in the past."

He had no mother to look after him, no favoritism from his father, and was still too young to distinguish between good and evil.

She was able to grow up safely and marry into the Lu family, and live a peaceful life for so many years. She can be considered a very blessed person.

Lu Xinran shrugged and made no comment on Zhao's past.

The servant returned with the food boxes, and the table was immediately filled with her favorite dishes.

Ever since Pei cleaned out the staff in the mansion and the kitchen was back in her hands, their food has been getting better and better.

After a happy lunch, she went back to her yard to take a nap.

Lu Xinlan was thinking about Zhao who had left in a hurry, so he went to her yard again.

After leaving her place, he went to Tang Zhaoyun Courtyard. After a nap, Pei's complexion had obviously recovered a lot, and he sat up from the bed.

"Your mother is a pitiful person. Since she has doubts and Xinran has such ability, it would be a good idea for you to go back.

"I'm just afraid that if I really knew the secrets of the past, it would be so long ago that there would be no witnesses or evidence and nothing could be done.

"That would be more painful for your mother than living in confusion all the time."

Lu Xinlan knew this truth, but Zhao was stubborn and now he was determined to go back and find out the truth of that year.

"Grandmother, I want to find another way to meet my grandfather and his family without going back to the Rong En Marquis's Mansion. It would be even better if Lord Tang or the Fourth Prince could be present on such an occasion."

Lu Xinran's special ability has already been proven and recognized by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

As long as her thoughts were heard by Tang Quyan and Song Junyan, would their charge of murder be valid even without evidence?

Pei calculated the date, "Then wait a little longer. The seventh day of September is the birthday of the old lady of the Duke's Mansion. Everyone in the capital will go to celebrate. You have some friendship with the girl from the Zhang family, so let her help you set up a stage on that day."

It's already August 28th, and it won't be long until a few days pass.

Lu Xinlan immediately thought this was a good idea, and just as he was about to speak, he heard someone outside the house calling "Second Girl".

When Lu Xinran entered the room, she found that Lu Xinlan had already arrived. She suddenly felt a little annoyed. She should have asked Cuizhu to help her keep track of the time during the lunch break.

"Is Grandma feeling better?"

"Much better now. Don't worry, grandma. I will still have to watch you get married and your children get married. I will not let anything happen to me."

[That's the right thing to think about. Getting angry with that old jerk is really not doing justice to your breasts.]

【Using other people's mistakes to punish yourself is disrespectful to yourself. 】

[It’s a pity that I can’t go to the old scumbag’s place and laugh at him, otherwise I would definitely order a table of pure vegetarian vegetable dishes and send them over to him.]

Her inner voice was as lively as ever. Pei felt that most of her ailments were healed just by listening to her chatter.

"Didn't Madam Tang send you an invitation a few days ago, inviting you to visit her house? The weather is nice these days, so why don't you accept the invitation and go to her house once?"

Lu Xinlan understood the meaning of Pei's words almost instantly, and she asked Lu Xinran with a smile.

"Sister, are you willing to go to the Tang Mansion with me?"

Lu Xinran nodded happily. Her life still depended on Tang Quyan, so she couldn't miss any opportunity to show her presence.

At the Tang Mansion, Liu looked at the invitation sent from the Lu Mansion and felt inexplicably complicated.

Wherever the girl from the Lu family went, there was blood and gore.

There shouldn't be those dirty things happening in their house, right?

~~~

I didn't want to explain it, but you guys can't give a bad review without watching the subsequent updates. It's really unfair...

There is no question of whether Zhao is whitewashed or not. The heroine simply wants to see her liveliness. After all, seeing the liveliness has life value. And she doesn't know that other people can hear her thoughts. She just wants to feel happy in secret.

The article kept mentioning that she was hospitalized for a long time in her previous life. If her parents in her previous life were not kind to her, how could they have taken such careful care of her?

The heroine has no lack of love, so she is so kind and always looks naive.

She doesn't lack love, so she doesn't care about Zhao's attitude.

Whether Zhao changes his attitude is Zhao's business, and whether the heroine accepts her is the heroine's business, right~

My dears, don't make a decision in a hurry. Let's wait and see.
