Chapter 550 Mother Lu Weeps
"So that's how it is." Mother Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she became even more curious about Miss Du. "How old is she this year? Does she have..."
Lu Yunjue had been urged to get married by his mother at home for many years. As soon as he heard his mother start talking, he knew what the topic would develop next.
He quickly interrupted, "Let me see what she said first."
Hu Xin'er and Lu's mother looked at each other, and a hint of smile appeared in their eyes.
Women's intuition told them that Yun Jue's current behavior was not just as simple as being annoyed with Miss Du.
Lu Yunjue unfolded the letter and found that it was a piece of light pink floral paper with a fragrance. He had never used such a thing that smelled of women's makeup, and he couldn't help feeling a strange discomfort in his heart.
The image of Miss Du's eyes slightly opened in surprise in the tunnel, and her face full of tears when she heard her father coming, appeared in front of my eyes.
She looks so tough on the surface, but inside she's just a naughty little girl... This thought flashed through his mind.
The fragrance was light and not unpleasant, so he frowned and continued reading.
Mother Lu took out a handkerchief and covered her face with it, pretending to cough, but actually hiding her smile.
Under normal circumstances, Yun Jue would have thrown away whatever the woman gave him.
Lu Yunjue quickly read the letter and was surprised to find that Miss Du's handwriting was not bad, but that was all.
He said calmly, "The letter said she had met the little beggar a few times and thought she was a clever girl. She hoped we wouldn't be too harsh on her. If it's too much trouble, we can just sell her to her house as a servant."
"Come to think of it, that girl also stayed in the woodshed for five days. The things in the tunnel should not have been put there by her... Oh no! She seems to have been poisoned as well. Did we forget about her?" Hu Xiner was startled as she spoke and quickly stood up.
The toxin had the effect of interfering with people's memory. Although they did not inhale as much as Miss Du, they were more or less confused, so they did not remember the little girl.
Mother Lu stopped her: "Miss Du said that she gave the little girl some medicine and sent someone to secretly save her early on. Now her life is safe."
"That's good." Hu Xiner breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since Miss Du said so, I believe that girl should be fine." Mother Lu pondered for a while and said, "Xin'er is pregnant, so it's not advisable to get excited. Let her out of the woodshed and take good care of her."
Since Mother Lu had spoken, the few of them naturally refused to obey.
The little beggar was covered in dirt. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old. His eyes seemed a little dull. When he saw people, he was timid and refused to speak. It was unknown whether all the toxins in his body had been cleared.
Hu Xiner felt sorry for her, so she asked someone to take her to take a bath and change her clothes. Since there was no suitable clothes at home, she sent someone out to buy her a new one.
"My lady is truly kind." Mu Qing couldn't help but praise her when he saw her go this far for a stranger.
Hu Xin'er smiled and said, "It's just a matter of giving a few instructions and paying a little money. Mother took pity on her because she was so young and helpless, and had to steal from other people's homes to make a living."
But after the little girl changed her clothes, everyone was really surprised.
There was no other reason. This little girl's face was covered with black mud and she looked silly, but after washing her face, she became extremely beautiful and cute!
She had a palm-sized peach-petal face, round almond eyes, and a furry collar around her neck.
The black hair that had grown wildly because there was no money to trim it was originally covered with dirt. After washing it, it was tied into two buns, and the small braids hung playfully on the side of the face, swaying back and forth.
However, perhaps because of years of wandering, her behavior is a bit rough. However, children of this age have not yet grown up, so it is inevitable that they are a bit boyish.
In addition, this face is so beautiful that it hides all the heroic and inappropriate flaws between the eyebrows.
Hu Xin'er couldn't take her eyes off her when she saw her. The little beggar dug out from the tunnel turned out to be a beautiful fairy?
"What kind of cruel parents would abandon a child like this?" she murmured to herself in disbelief.
Mu Qing was not like her, who would be easily conquered by beauty.
His hands tapped the table unconsciously, making a thump-thump-thump sound, and there was a hint of doubt between his brows: "Is there a trick here?"
"You mean Miss Du is lying to us? She planted this person here on purpose?" Hu Xin'er scratched her head. "But what's her purpose?"
She neither believed that the little cutie in front of her was a beggar abandoned by his parents, nor did she believe that Miss Du would plant a spy in their home for no reason.
Mu Qing couldn't figure it out either, so he just said, "I just think it's better to be cautious."
The little beggar suddenly said, "I am fleeing from disaster!"
When Mother Lu learned about the little beggar's true appearance after washing, she became curious and wanted to take a look.
However, when the little beggar looked up and met his gaze, she was shocked: "You... Mu'er, this girl, where did you find her from?"
"Mother, this is the little beggar you mentioned." Mu Qing was worried that his mother was sick again, so he hurried forward to check.
Mother Lu pushed him away, her expression agitated: "What? It's her? How could such a coincidence happen in the world?"
She took a few steps forward and grabbed the little beggar's shoulder: "Tell me quickly, what's your name? Is your last name Jiang?!"
The little beggar shook his head blankly: "Reporting to the old lady, my name is Gou'er."
"I'm asking for your original name!" Mother Lu was kind-hearted and realized that she might have scared the little beggar in front of her, so she tried her best to soften her voice.
But the excitement revealed in his words could not be concealed no matter what.
The little beggar shook his head and said, "Old lady, I don't have an original name. I was called Gou'er when I was born."
"How is this possible?" Mother Lu muttered to herself as she held her in her arms. "Good girl, tell me, is your original surname Jiang? Are your parents from the Jiang family? Did you originally live in Jiangnan and later escape to this place..."
The dog was frightened by her and stood there motionless.
Hu Xin'er was worried that her mother might get too excited and hurt herself, so she walked over and asked in confusion, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you know this child's parents?"
From what Mother Lu said, she guessed that Mother Lu must have felt that the child looked very much like an old friend, which was why she was so excited.
Unexpectedly, Mother Lu turned around, her face already covered in tears: "Xin'er, do you know? This little beggar looks exactly like Yaoyao when she was a child!"
