Aunt Lu felt restless.
She followed Fu Jiao silently, not knowing what she was thinking, and almost bumped into Fu Jiao's back.
Arriving at a secluded place in the garden, Fu Jiao saw no one around and quietly held the mantra to her fingertips.
She turned around and stared at Aunt Lu aggressively.
Aunt Lu had been gentle and low-key all her life, but when she looked at her like this, she was mumbling and speechless.
Fu Jiao asked: "Aunt Lu, how do you think I know?"
"what do you know?"
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand." Fu Jiao snorted coldly, "My biological mother's death has nothing to do with you!"
She scolded, and Aunt Lu stayed where she was.
Fu Jiao continued to break through her inner defense, "I still say the same thing, if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Do you think you can get away with it for the rest of your life if you kill my biological mother?"
Aunt Lu stared at Fu Jiao in front of her with wide eyes, wondering what she was thinking. After a long silence, tears fell one after another from her vicissitudes of life.
Aunt Lu said tremblingly: "You...you know everything. Ever since you moved into Yurongyuan, I have been panic-stricken. Sure enough, sooner or later you discovered the secret in the ear room..."
"So, you buried my biological mother's body in Yurongyuan? Why are you so cruel and don't let her rest in peace?!"
Facing Fu Jiao's questioning, Aunt Lu just kept shaking her head, her tears flooding like a bursting dam.
She defended: "Jiao'er, I didn't let Sister Rong rest in peace. I did all this out of my control."
Fu Jiao frowned, "How do you expect me to believe you? If I hadn't found out that my mother was suppressed in Bajiaojing with life money stuffed in her mouth, I wouldn't have suspected you at all." She was half-truthful and half-false. Aunt Lu said, "I asked the old slaves in the house and they all said that my mother had the best relationship with you during her lifetime. You entered the Fu family one after another, and you are like sisters. My mother trusts you so much, but what about you? You actually used her Burn incense and deliberately use the blessing sachet to kill her!!!"
"not like this!"
"You still want to quibble?"
Aunt Lu was speechless. At this time, the sky was getting dark. She was worried that the partition wall had ears, so she simply took Fu Jiao to her yard and closed the door to explain to her.
Aunt Lu sighed deeply.
"The matter has come to this, I don't want to hide it from you." Aunt Lu closed her eyes and said slowly: "Speaking of which, your mother and I are both poor people. She came from a bad background, and my family background is also very poor..."
Aunt Lu is actually two years younger than Aunt Chen.
In their prime youth, if they were not too poor, who would leave a good family son to be a concubine?
Because her family was poor and quite beautiful, Aunt Lu was attracted by Fu Zhenqing, and she was carried into the Fu family in a pink sedan chair. Aunt Lu was cautious and timid, and Mr. Xie looked down upon her, and even the servants rarely looked down upon her.
Aunt Lu doesn't fight or grab, she lives a low-key life and can barely survive. Aunt Rong, who came in before her, was in a similar situation to her. The two people, who also came from humble backgrounds, had naturally become good friends after spending more than ten days together.
Aunt Rong didn't dislike her low education, and Aunt Lu didn't dislike Aunt Rong's background in Fireworks and Willow Lane. She originally thought that the rest of her life would pass like this, and everything would change one day.
Recalling that time, Aunt Lu still regretted it, "It was Qingming Festival, and I was going back to my parents' home to visit my parents. On the way, I suddenly tripped over something... I picked it up and took a look and found it was a gold hairpin wrapped in red paper. .”
"Jin Chai?"
"Well, it's an ordinary gold hairpin, but it's definitely pure gold and is worth a lot of money."
Fu Jiao thought for a while and asked, "So you just married the golden hairpin?"
Aunt Lu's face turned red and she nodded with shame, "I have never seen such an expensive thing, and I picked it up myself, so I sold the gold hairpin without thinking too much..."
Aunt Lu asked herself, she had never done anything bad in her life. But growing up in a poor environment, it is inevitable that you will be happy when you find gold.
Fu Jiao sighed.
It seems that it was Aunt Lu who found the money to buy her life and got herself into trouble.
Aunt Lu said painfully: "I never thought that a golden hairpin would almost kill my whole family."
She picked up the gold hairpin and melted it into gold ingots. She spent some of it to buy cloth and rice noodles for her family. As a result, her family felt uncomfortable wearing new clothes that night. Aunt Lu didn't think much about it, thinking that her mother-in-law's family had never eaten good food and were not used to it. Later, her family members fell ill one after another, and she burned all the new cloth she bought before she slowly got better.
At the same time, Aunt Lu had bad dreams all night at Fu's house. At that time, Fu Zhenqing was still new to her. When they lived together at night, Aunt Lu would always dream about an invisible man coming to strangle her neck, and she would suffocate and wake up several times in the middle of the night.
This situation lasted for more than half a month, and Aunt Lu's health became worse and worse. She was born in a rural area. She was usually stronger than ordinary women in carrying water and cutting firewood, and her body was strong. But this time, she became seriously ill.
Fu Zhenqing couldn't stand it. One night, Aunt Lu was awakened by a nightmare again. There were five faint fingerprints on her neck, which frightened Fu Zhenqing and Aunt Lu. Under Fu Zhenqing's questioning, Aunt Lu cried and told Fu Zhenqing about picking up the gold hairpin. After all, Fu Zhenqing was her nominal husband and her only support now.
When Fu Zhenqing learned that these strange things happened after Aunt Lu picked up the gold hairpin, he immediately told Aunt Lu to keep quiet.
Hearing this, Fu Jiao couldn't help but think of something Aunt Rong said before. Before Aunt Rong died, she heard a voice that looked exactly like Fu Zhenqing saying that she wanted to kill Fu Jiao...
"Why do you need to keep quiet?" Fu Jiao asked.
Aunt Lu frowned and hesitated before saying, "He seemed to know that I had encountered something dirty, so he kept us friends, so he invited a master to look at it for me the next day."
The master had some skills. He could tell at a glance that Aunt Lu had picked up the money to buy her life. If she didn't find a way to resolve it, she would be entangled by the spellcaster until she died.
When Aunt Lu mentioned this, she was still afraid and worried. She said uneasily: "I really didn't expect that there is such a sinister way in this world, using the lives of others to extend your own life until death."
Fu Jiao didn't care about this, and she didn't care who paid for such a sinister act. The only fault is that she was too greedy, otherwise the moment she saw the gold hairpin wrapped in red paper, she would have thrown it away and nothing would have happened later.
"Fu Zhenqing..." Forgive Fu Jiao for not wanting to call him "father", "Fu Zhenqing knew that you had picked up the money to buy your life. How did he help you resolve it?"
Aunt Lu's eyes were startled.
She opened her mouth, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing that she still wanted to help Fu Zhenqing hide it, Fu Jiao sneered, exposing her hypocrisy, "If I'm not wrong, Fu Zhenqing exchanged my mother's life for yours, right?"
