Aunt Su was unmoved and looked at Lu Qingyan as if she were a thief: "Don't even think about the money and the land deed. We haven't been in contact for so long. What right do you have to take anything from the Su family?"
Lu Qingyan: ...
mdzz, can't you understand human language?
“Aunt Su,” Lu Qingyan said patiently, “you misunderstand. I never thought of getting anything from you, Aunt. I was just desperate and came to see you, hoping you could help me find a job or lend me a place to stay. Why would you think of me like that, Aunt Su? I’m also very saddened by what happened to you today, but we can’t go on like this. So I came to ask you if you have any relatives so I can visit them and ask for a place to stay temporarily. Are you unwilling to even give me this information, Aunt Su?”
Aunt Su's tone softened at this moment: "Really?"
"Of course it's true," Lu Qingyan said angrily, as if she had been wronged terribly.
Aunt Su sighed and said, "I don't know what other relatives Madam has. I only heard that Madam had a falling out with her family when she married Master and they hadn't been in contact for many years. When I followed Madam, she and Master were already married. I know nothing else."
As Aunt Su was speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and glared sharply at Lu Qingyan: "That's not right, Madam has no contact with that side, how does a relative like you, who hasn't visited in many years, know about Madam?"
She stood up, her eyes flashing with madness as she looked at Lu Qingyan: "What does Madam's death have to do with you? Did you do it?!"
She pressed her for answers, and Lu Qingyan was stunned. What kind of twisted logic was this?
"I'm not familiar with your wife, so you'd kill her? I'm not a bloodthirsty monster!" Lu Qingyan thought angrily.
Lu Qingyan looked straight into Aunt Su's eyes, which were full of intelligence, without the slightest fear or unease at being exposed.
“I know you might not believe it, but it’s true. Once, I saw a jade pendant on Madam Su’s waist that looked very similar to mine, so I decided to investigate. I found her while looking through the family genealogy, so that’s when I knew we were relatives. But I didn’t expect her to have lost contact with the family for so long. I was only thinking about coming to her for help; how could I know anything else?” Lu Qingyan said, sounding aggrieved.
"This is too much of a coincidence. I even suspect that someone found out something beforehand and put us together," Lu Qingyan said helplessly. "But the results I found out really are a coincidence."
Aunt Su remained unmoved, but her facial features softened. Looking at the quiet child in Lu Qingyan's arms, she hesitated and said, "Can I...can I hold her?"
Lu Qingyan handed Su Han to her. Looking at Su Han, Aunt Su cried and laughed, "She really looks like her, she really looks just like Madam's Miss Han."
She had only seen Su Han once since she was born. Looking at the delicate and soft girl in front of her, Aunt Su was about to burst into tears again.
In truth, Madam Su had never been as frail as she was today, prone to tears; she had always been a strong person. But when it came to Madam Su, this loyal servant behaved differently. She thought: If only Miss Han were alive, if only Madam Su were alive.
