In Zhaoyun Courtyard, Ms. Pei lowered her eyes and ignored Ms. Zhao, who had just been scolded by her.
"Where are they?"
"Go back to the old lady, the two girls are already on their way here."
As soon as the maid's voice stopped, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Mother, Xinlan is still sick and cannot blow the wind."
"You also know that they are still sick? Since they are sick, why do you let Xinran go to your room so that she can have a shower?"
"this……"
Zhao wanted to think about how this could be the same.
Although Lu Xinran was her biological child, he had not been raised by her side for so many years, and his vulgar temperament made her feel disgusted when she saw him.
Mrs. Pei sighed silently and asked people to prepare hot tea and fruit snacks and wait for the two of them to enter the yard.
Several of Zhao's sisters-in-law were sitting next to her, all smiling, waiting to watch the excitement.
When Lu Xinran walked in, she saw that the room was full of people, including girls from each room, as well as boys who had not yet started studying.
Everyone gathered around the old lady Pei, and there was a tacit understanding that there was only one seat left vacant next to her.
Lu Xinran raised her eyebrows, knowing that the seat was not reserved for her. After entering the door to say hello, she found a seat at random and sat down.
On the other hand, Lu Xinlan stood in the room a little embarrassed, and met Pei's concerned eyes.
"Grandma, mother, Xinlan has been very scared these days. She doesn't want to occupy the magpie's nest and stay in the house to take away the love that belongs to her sister. Xinlan wants to..."
"What are you thinking! Who dares to let you go?!"
Before Lu Xinlan finished speaking, Zhao was already staring at Lu Xinran with burning eyes.
Just after sitting down, Lu Xinran, who was also a little confused after hearing these words, raised his eyes to meet Zhao's anger.
[She doesn’t think I forced her to say these words, right? 】
A voice suddenly rang in several people's ears. The voice was exactly the same as Lu Xinran's, but she clearly didn't make a sound. What was going on?
While everyone was confused, the sudden sound sounded in their ears again.
[There must be something wrong with her! Since you don't like me, why bother to find me back just to show me your expressions and then warn me not to covet everything Lu Xinlan has? 】
Mrs. Zhao was shocked and stunned, with a blush on her face. She was obviously very angry at these words.
If she wasn't vulgar and rude, which made her uncomfortable, how could she give her a look?
As if he knew what she was thinking, the voice appeared again.
[It’s so funny. You think I’m vulgar and rude, and you don’t even know how I live in the countryside. I get up late at night and do endless farm work every day. I don’t have enough to eat or clothes to keep me warm. In a place like this, I still want to cultivate warmth. Appearing graceful and knowledgeable? Why don't you dream? 】
The third lady, Mrs. Feng, could not help laughing. She quickly lowered her head and pressed the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, fearing that she would laugh out loud accidentally.
Zhao's cheeks were so angry that she glared at Lu Xinran, who met her gaze with an innocent look on her face.
[Why are you so angry? You don’t really think I’m forcing her to leave, do you? You really think highly of me. Who am I in this Shangshu Mansion? Even the servants in the courtyard were crammed in from each room. Oh, Lu Xinlan even crammed in. Who would believe her when she said she wanted to leave? Who knows? To advance by retreat...]
As soon as the voice reached this point, several people in the room coughed awkwardly.
Although they didn't know what was going on, they all guessed that it was Lu Xinran's voice, but they heard it for some reason.
Ms. Pei, who was standing above her, had a calm face and interrupted her thoughts in her heart.
"Xinlan, you're so good, why do you think so? You know we won't let you leave, so you don't say this just to make your mother sad."
Lu Xinlan clenched her hands in her sleeves and did not look at Mrs. Zhao's expression. She only leaned over and bowed to Mrs. Pei again.
"Grandma, it was my granddaughter who stole my sister's blessings over the years. Now that my sister has returned to the house, my granddaughter can no longer stay and take away the love that belongs to her."
"Nonsense, what does separation mean? No one can take away what belongs to you."
Zhao couldn't stand listening any more, so she stood up and walked quickly to Lu Xinlan, grabbing her wrist.
"Don't talk nonsense. In my mother's heart, you will always be my daughter. No one can compare with you."
While she was speaking, she did not forget to glance at Lu Xinran. Lu Xinran rolled his eyes speechlessly.
[There is something really wrong with her, right? Who cares about this kind of stupid maternal love? If I hadn’t stayed in the capital for easy access to food, I wouldn’t have stayed here to suffer. 】
Got scolded again!
I have long said that she grew up in the country and was extremely vulgar and could not be put on the stage. Now she is openly insulting her biological mother in her heart. How does she like this kind of temperament!
Lu Xinran was stared at by her, and he felt that her eyes were blazing with fire, something strange.
[Are you planning to drive me out? Hiss, wasn’t that what Lu Xinlan said just now? As expected of a heroine, she is so scheming that she can make the stupid Zhao achieve her goal with just one sentence. 】
Mrs. Pei, who was at the top, couldn't stand listening any longer. This was all such a mess.
What a heroine, what scheming, what stupid Zhao...
How could anyone talk about his biological mother like that!
Mrs. Pei looked at Lu Xinran who was huddled obediently in the corner, and sighed in her heart that this child was angry.
Also, they have ignored her feelings during this period, thinking that to get her back and give her a good life is to treat her well.
I forgot that the servants in this house like to flatter others and suppress others. I don’t know how many gossips this girl has heard and how many grievances she has suffered.
Originally, as a mother, Zhao was supposed to support her and shield her from the rain, but it turned out that she hated her biological daughter more than anyone else.
Mrs. Pei couldn't help but sigh again when she thought of this.
Kong and Feng's sisters-in-law all lowered their eyes at this time, pretending that everything in this room had nothing to do with them.
Mrs. Zhao was so shocked by the word stupid that she almost lost her mind.
This daughter really defeated her!
For the first time, Lu Xinlan felt helpless. She clearly didn't mean that. How could her sister look at her like this?
She took Zhao's hand and helped her sit back on the chair. Then she spoke again and tried to turn everyone's attention to what she just said.
"Grandma, Xinlan is thinking that she still has family in the countryside. My sister has returned to the house, so Xinlan should go back and fulfill her filial piety."
[What about filial piety? She was trying to pretend not to know that her biological parents were dead. She was so scheming and good at acting that I almost got deceived by her. 】
Lu Xinlan: "...?!!"
She closed her eyes weakly and found that she really couldn't explain it.
Mrs. Zhao pulled her to her side like she was protecting a calf, "You can live in the house with peace of mind. Mom still said that it should be yours and no one can take it away."
Lu Xinran continued to roll her eyes. How on earth did her biological mother give birth to a son who was the top scorer in high school at the age of twenty?
When did she say she wanted to steal the heroine's favor and limelight?
Naobu is a disease and must be cured.
Mrs. Pei has rubbed her brows and has been dignified and capable for decades. It has been a long time since she felt powerless.
"Xinran, Xinlan, I called you here today because you were transferred back then, and there are some clues."
