Chapter 212 Cute Idiot
In just one night, Mrs. Lu seemed to become more and more haggard. She lay in bed with a listless spirit. When she heard that Zhang Xiu had come, she reluctantly sat up, put a pillow behind her back, and spoke weakly.
Before this, Madam Lu was so graceful and elegant. Zhang Xiu held her hand distressedly and said, "Madam Lu, you must take good care of yourself!"
Madam Lu smiled sadly and nodded: "I not only feel sorry for Ah Mei, but I'm also worried about the safety of the master. Chen He has been gone for a day and a night and hasn't come back. I..."
"Don't worry, Master Lu and the eldest young master are both blessed people. They will definitely come back safely. You must eat well and cheer up. That way, when Madam Lu comes back and sees that his wife is still the same as before, he will feel less distressed. By the way, I have a candy here, try it."
Seeing Mrs. Lu like this, Zhang Xiu didn't care about anything else.
She took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket. It was given to her by Ding Xiaodie in the space in case she had hypoglycemia.
At present, this piece of chocolate is still wrapped in a thin piece of silver tinfoil. Although it is not a valuable thing, it looks quite noble in ancient times.
Zhang Xiu lied, "Didn't my foolish mother-in-law run away last time? She was quite a character when she was little. Her father was an attendant on trade trips with officials, and he learned the dialect of the Great Desert and taught it to my mother-in-law when he got home. And my mother-in-law was quite clever; she didn't forget the dialect even in her old age. After she got lost, she foolishly went off to help a few soldiers cook. I wonder if the bandits took pity on her and gave her some candy."
I can only tell this lie, otherwise I won’t be able to cover it up no matter how hard I try.
Zhang Xiu peeled off the tin foil and said, "This candy will make you feel energetic and refreshed. Try it."
Mrs. Lu was somewhat resistant in her heart, but she believed what Zhang Xiu said. After all, this was the candy from the people of the desert, and she now hated those people of the desert to the core.
But seeing Zhang Xiu's enthusiasm, she couldn't resist and ate a small piece: "..."
This candy!!!
As soon as she put it in her mouth, it was filled with sweetness and fragrance, and melted in her mouth. The taste was something she had never tasted before. It was indeed delicious and novel.
Curiosity flashed in Mrs. Lu's lifeless eyes, like a little girl: "There is such candy in the world."
"That's right. There are so many things in this world that we haven't eaten, drunk, or seen!" Zhang Xiu's eyes were warm. "Mrs. Lu, you must be well. Don't dwell on those sad things anymore. Why don't you think about the future? When Mr. Lu comes back, you and your family will go on a journey, travel around the world, see all the sights, and eat all the delicious food in the world. Just think about it, how pleasant that would be, right?"
Unexpectedly, a village woman named Zhang Xiu would say such words. Mrs. Lu's eyes were sore and tears welled up in her eyes, but there was a sweet taste in her mouth that went straight to her heart.
She felt very lucky to have met such a caring person on her way to escape.
Mrs. Lu nodded slightly: "You are right. We must look forward to everything. We still have children and we must live happily with them."
Zhang Xiu wiped his eyes and said, "That's right. We have to overcome all obstacles. After that, we will find that everything will be fine."
Mrs. Lu suddenly remembered something: "By the way, Mrs. Ding, there is something I want to tell you."
"Madam, please speak."
Mrs. Lu then told Zhang Xiu what Yun Liu had said to her.
Well!
This time, it was Zhang Xiu's turn to be speechless!
She usually saw that the two young masters of the Lu family were very kind to Xiaodie, and she had always been wondering which of the two brothers would eventually become her son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Yun Liu suddenly appeared.
Moreover, this kid is very courageous. He has only been in the team for a short time, but he dares to ask the elders to help propose marriage. On the contrary, the two young masters of the Lu family have not spoken yet.
"Madam, this...this marriage is such a big deal, I can't make the decision. I need to go home and ask Xiaodie what she thinks. Of course, as long as she likes it, I definitely won't object."
Zhang Xiu was sure that her daughter would never like Yun Liu no matter what. When she was at home, she always heard her complaining about Yun Liu, saying that she just didn't like him in every way.
This surprised Mrs. Lu again. Zhang Xiu's thinking was so open-minded. She thought that he would only say what his parents and matchmaker said, but she said that it mainly depended on Xiaodie's thoughts.
I couldn't help but have a new impression of this village woman.
Then he said, "I think so too. To be honest, I have seen how good my two young masters are to Xiaodie. Now there is Yunliu. Anyway, this is a matter for young people. It is up to them to decide for themselves! We believe that they will eventually determine their own thoughts and find the person who can make them happy.
"Thank you for your understanding, ma'am."
Zhang Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu did not insist on it, otherwise what would Xiaodie do?
When she left, Qiuju saw her out the door.
Qiuju is usually very smart and looks generous and dignified. But after what happened to Ah Mei, she seemed to have changed completely. Just now, when the lady asked her to pour a cup of tea, she seemed to take a while to react.
It was Zhang Xiu who considerately said that she didn't want to drink anymore.
At this time, Zhang Xiu asked with concern: "Qiuju, are you okay?"
Qiuju nodded, then quickly shook her head: "Thank you very much for your concern, Mrs. Ding. I'm fine."
"Mrs. Lu was frightened. You've worked hard these past two days!"
In fact, Qiuju was really scared. What made her unable to forgive herself was that she had beaten Amei the night before she was killed.
If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have done it.
She just loves Ah Mei deeply and hates her intensely, but if... if she had the chance to regret, she would definitely not have the heart to hit Ah Mei. She would be so heartbroken that she would not even have time to hurt her.
Although Qiuju agreed, she still looked dazed.
Zhang Xiu sighed and left.
Why are the people in the Lu family so naive?
She silently concluded in her heart that although the Lu family was rich and powerful, in the past, Master Lu had taken care of all the things, and they had never experienced any major storms from top to bottom.
It's like they are living in a honey pot, so when something happens, they become so devastated.
As soon as Zhang Xiu left, Qiu Ju was stopped by a voice: "Miss Qiu Ju."
Qiuju turned around in a daze, tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes. When she saw who it was, she was surprised for a moment: "Why is it you?"
Dabao scratched his head awkwardly: "I came to see you."
He is an honest man and says whatever is on his mind.
Yesterday I saw Qiuju was so scared that her face turned pale instantly and even her lips turned white.
For some reason, that scene always lingered in Dabao's mind. He was very worried, so he came over to take a look today. He didn't expect to meet Qiuju head-on.
But fate was such a coincidence that he saw her as soon as he walked to the gate of the Lu family.
Qiu Ju was stunned for a moment, and her face suddenly turned red: "What are you looking at? There's nothing good about me."
