"That's what happened."
When Mrs. Lu heard what Old Man Su said, she wiped her tears again with a handkerchief and then said: "Actually, there was a baby boy in the basket at that time. I picked it up on the way that day. You also know that I had a daughter that year. When you met a boy who was abandoned on the roadside, you wanted to take him home and raise him as a son. But you didn't expect that your eldest nephew would ask you to deliver the baby before you got home.
At that time, you had a difficult delivery and it took too long, so the baby was born a stillborn baby. Lanhua, you know that. Although your mother and I have a good relationship, if your mother's temperament is gone if she knows that I delivered the baby for you, I was still a boy, so my life in the next few years would definitely be difficult, so when I saw the basket next to me, I changed the two children. In fact, the second son you gave birth to was already gone that year. "
I had just heard Mrs. Lu say that Su Laoer was not her biological child, and now I heard that the child she had given birth to had died when she was born.
Mrs. Li was not a kind person. When she heard that her second son had died when he was born, she was only sad for a few seconds. Then she returned to her usual appearance. She thought that it was no wonder she was not close to her second son, but it turned out that it was not her. raw.
After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she wiped her tears with a handkerchief. In fact, she was not crying about Mrs. Li and her short-lived son who she never met until his death. She was crying about herself. She was really miserable.
Originally, Mrs. Lu was quite wealthy, not to mention how fat she was, but after driving all this way, she was not much different from skinny and skinny.
Su Laoer, who was sitting beside him, lowered his head. He felt very complicated at this moment, with pain but also relief. No wonder his parents had treated him like this over the years. It turned out that he was not a child of the Su family.
Mrs. Lian didn't know how to comfort Su Laoer in front of so many people, so she had to sit next to him and accompany him silently.
The expressions of Su Yu and Su Yan didn't change much. This was originally arranged by them, and they just listened silently.
"Since you have kept this matter secret for more than thirty years, why are you telling it now?"
Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Lu's expression was not good. Mrs. Lu could say these things to her in private, and there was no need to make it clear in front of the second son's family. Now the richest family in the family is the second son's family. , making this relationship clear, it would be much more difficult for them to get money from the second son's family.
"Lanhua, this matter can't be settled without me telling you. Not long after you left Wangjiacun, the relatives of the second family came to find you.
You also know that my daughter married in the next state. A few years ago, I went to live with my daughter and her son-in-law. Those people found me first and learned from my mouth that the abandoned baby boy was your second son. Then they asked me I took them to your house, but I didn't expect that your family had left Wangjia Village. No one in the village knew where your family had gone.
Later, those people took me to Kyoto City and tortured me every day. They said that if they couldn't find your second son, they would torture me every day. They would drive me out to beg for food every day, and they didn't care about my life or death at all!
But it's okay now. Your family is all here. When I go back later, I will tell them that I have found him. "
Mrs. Lu paused.
"There's no need for me to go back and tell them. They must know now that I met you here. It's not like I didn't think about escaping before, but I can't escape. Otherwise, you think I will just beg for food."
"Then tell me, which family does my second brother come from?"
After hearing Mrs. Lu's words, Ji's heart was filled with excitement. She thought that her second brother must be from a rich family. How could he go back and forth like this if he had no money? Didn't he spend money on the way back and forth?
When Mrs. Lu saw Ji's expression, she didn't know what she was thinking. She couldn't help but persuade him: "Lanhua, the second son's father is not someone we ordinary people can afford to offend. If his relatives know about your family for so many years, How he treated his son, I'm afraid you will all have a hard time."
When Mrs. Lu said this, the brother and sister seemed to be listening attentively.
Come on, here comes the main event.
"Then you can tell us which family it is, so we can have a better idea."
Mrs. Lu looked around the Su family and lowered her voice and whispered: "The second son's father is the fourth prince who passed away a few years ago. The second son of your family is a serious relative of the emperor!"
Although Mrs. Lu spoke in a low voice, everyone in the private room was paying attention to Mrs. Lu, and their ears were perked up, so naturally they heard her words truly.
Su Yu took a sip of tea and was about to swallow it when he heard Mrs. Lu's words and coughed violently. Su Yan, who was sitting next to her, quickly patted her sister on the back.
When Su Yu finally stopped coughing, she turned to look at her elder brother, her eyes widening.
At that time, we weren't talking about getting some kind of relative of the emperor's businessman, so why are we involved with the emperor's relatives now?
In fact, Su Yan was also shocked at this moment. He had previously chosen a family of imperial merchants named Yang. Although the Yang family was an imperial merchant, last year the person in charge had an accident and disappeared. The entire Yang family could be said to be leaderless. Business also gradually went downhill.
At that time, he made it a condition that his family recognized a branch of the Yang family and that he would help the Yang family manage the Yang family's business.
The Yang family agreed after considering it for a few days. No one doubted whether Su Yan had this ability, because when the Bai family was in his hands, it could be said that the Bai family was at its peak, but after he left the Bai family , the Bai family's business can be said to have plummeted, but looking at the Su family now, the business is slowly picking up.
The Yang family liked Su Yan, so they quickly agreed to Su Yan's suggestions, and they had no reason to refuse.
But now Su Yan is confused, what is going on?
The brother and sister looked at Mrs. Lu at the same time, but now everyone in the Su family was staring at her, but Mrs. Lu didn't notice anything wrong with their eyes.
Mrs. Lu was supposed to be retiring at her daughter and son-in-law's house. Suddenly, a group of people appeared and took her to Kyoto City. After finally arriving in Kyoto City, she could take a breath. All she had to do was do what the group told her to do. They Not only will he send her back, but he will also give her a sum of money when the time comes. This is a good deal, so Mrs. Lu has no objection.
The most important thing is that she also knows the attitude of Old Man Su's family towards Mr. Su. She couldn't stand it in the early years, but she didn't care if it was other people's housework.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived in Kyoto City, another man in black came and put a sword directly on her neck, and also took the amulets worn by her daughter and son-in-law, which she had gone to the temple to ask for for her daughter and son-in-law. Since the two of them wore the amulet, their family business has been going smoothly, so they never leave it except when taking it off when taking a shower, but now it is in the hands of the man in black.
But what shocked her even more was what happened later. The man in black actually asked her to say that Su Laoer was the son of the fourth prince. How could Mrs. Lu dare to do this? This was a crime of deceiving the emperor and she would be beheaded.
But she didn't say that the whole family was going to die now. If she had said that, maybe the family could live for a few more years. Mrs. Lu had no choice but to follow what the black man said. As for what happened next, she didn't care. What the hell.
