Chapter 8
Lu Songli got up from a nap and led people to tidy up the yard inside and outside.
Xie Zhan has been engaged to the original owner's family for many years, and the two families have been traveling normally over the years. Every New Year's Eve and the birthday of the original owner, the Xie family would send New Year's gifts and birthday gifts, including food and entertainment. Of course, the Lu family also gave a gift in return.
Mrs. Jiang knew that her daughter valued Xie Zhan as her fiancé, so besides food, she gave many of the gifts sent by the Xie family to her daughter. These items have been well preserved and collected by the original owners. Even if they are taken out for use, they are used with great care.
Lu Songli was not the original owner, so she had no sympathy for these low-value gadgets. It's not a big deal to throw them out, and it's not worth much to sell them second-hand. We can only put them in the cage first, find a corner to put them, and reward them all to the servants when the matter with the Xie family is settled.
Lu Songli also found in the house the purses embroidered by the original owner for Xie Zhan, the fans made by them, and the high-quality langhao pens bought from shopping malls...each item was carefully considered. The trigger that made her decide to clean up the yard was a set of underwear that the original owner secretly made for Xie Zhan!
Now she lives in this yard, and she cannot tolerate these things being an eyesore in front of her.
Lu Songli decided to give the high-quality langhao pen to her father! Only her father deserves to use such a good pen, but Xie Zhan does not. This set of semi-finished products was given to Mo Bing and asked her to find a handy maid to modify it and plan to give it to her brother Lu Mingzhi to wear. There was no way, the material was made of Hangzhou silk, which was very expensive and she couldn't bear to throw it away. Forget it, she thought about it and opened the warehouse, took out the good materials accumulated by the original owner, made one for each of her family members, and gave it away during the Chinese New Year. Otherwise, just giving her brother a set of underwear would be too weird.
Ever since Lu Songli decided to tidy up her residence, the servants in her yard have been busy. After she took care of those eyesores, she had nothing to do and wanted to find a book to read.
She checked the original owner's bookshelf and found that there were only a few books on the bookshelf, and even the books were dusty. She flipped through it, and found that they were all about "The Classic of Filial Piety" and "Nvjie". The only one, "Stories of Mountains and Rivers", was placed at the bottom. There are two story books, both about good wives and loving mothers. She looked at it twice and threw it aside. After searching her memory, Lu Songli knew the origin of these books. Except for "Strange Stories of Mountains and Rivers" which was given by her brother, the other books were from the little sister group or group that the original owner had played well with Zhao Yutan before. The excuse for giving or recommending it is that she will need it when she becomes the eldest mistress of the Xie family in the future, and the original owner treats it like a treasure.
Lu Songli didn't know what to say, so she simply took a fishing rod and a wooden bucket to her pond to fish, and pretended to relax. Mo Bing quickly followed.
She had just caught four or five fish that were about the size of a palm, when she saw Butler Chen passing by in a hurry with his servant.
Mo Bing stopped the person and shouted, "Uncle Chen!"
Butler Chen stopped and noticed that the second lady of his family was fishing. He immediately smiled and said, "The second lady is fishing with Mo Bing?" He glanced at the wooden barrel and saw that there were several fish in it. I think the second lady’s fishing skills are quite good.
"Well, Uncle Chen will take two when he comes back later. The fish is not big, but it looks quite fat. The key is that it is alive and kicking, and the meat must be very tender." Lu Songli was wearing a curtain hat. In this age where there is no sunscreen, sun protection is really important.
"Okay, I'll go to Liangwei's house later. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Second lady, you can play slowly." He kept walking as he spoke.
"Uncle Chen, what's going on in such a hurry?" Mo Bing asked, chasing after him.
"The Qin family has sent a message to the master and wants to visit us. They are waiting outside the gate." Are you in a hurry?
Mo Bing nodded, "Oh, that's it." That was indeed urgent.
When Lu Songli heard this, she thought, Qin family? Is it the Qin family who is engaged to Zhao Yutan? She felt that her guess was correct. The only one who came to visit at such a sensitive time was the Qin family. Lu Songli suddenly became interested and couldn't help but want to see who the other party was. In the original book, the original owner was miserable, but the Qin brothers were no less generous. One earned so much glory for the heroine but lost his life, and the other was obviously a great grievance. It could be said that the blood was sucked dry by the hero and heroine.
"Mo Bing, you continue fishing here, I'll go find my mother-in-law." Lu Songli put the fishing rod in Mo Bing's hand, held up her skirt and walked towards Shi Shiran in the main courtyard.
Mo Bing subconsciously tightened his grip on the fishing rod, looked at the second lady who had walked away, and hurriedly asked someone to follow her.
Not long after Lu Songli arrived at the main hospital, the Qin family arrived. Mrs. Qin was seriously ill and could not come, so it was Qin Sheng's eldest brother Qin Heng who brought him here.
The two of them were received by her parents.
Jiang placed her in the flower hall and did not let her show up.
The purpose of the Qin family's visit was very simple. Firstly, they came to bring gifts to express their condolences to Lu Songli for her injury. Secondly, they wanted to show that the Qin family was willing to take responsibility for this matter.
"In this matter, the second lady of your house and Ah Sheng are both innocent. It was an accident that she fell into the water. Qin Sheng was right to save people, but they both suffered unreasonable disasters and their marriages suffered setbacks."
"The matter is over. After all, the person who has physical contact with Miss Lu Er is Qin Sheng. If the Lu family needs our Qin family to be responsible, we are very willing. If not, we will not bother. Everything will be done according to the needs of the Lu family. .”
Qin Heng's words made the three of the Lu family feel very comfortable. Look, what does responsibility mean? This is it!
But seeing Qin Sheng's reluctant attitude, Lu Desheng felt a knot in his heart again and blurted out, "What about the Zhao family?"
Qin Heng smiled and said, "The Zhao family is not a problem. Our Qin family has agreed to terminate the engagement between the two families." After saying that, he reached out and rubbed his brother's head, "Don't mind Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu, they just met this morning." After someone broke off the engagement, I'm still a little bit overwhelmed." The voice was full of apologies.
Qin Sheng dared not speak out in anger.
Qin Heng's words really made the Lu family and his wife put aside the unhappiness they had felt due to Qin Sheng's attitude.
Lu Desheng sighed. Indeed, he had seen Qin Sheng beat a horse and parade it through the streets in bright clothes and angry horses. Such a young man was even disowned. After all, he and his daughter are the most innocent. I thought again that the Qin family was so unobtrusive that they deserved to be born in a general family, which was refreshing. But their family is a daughter, and they are easily at a disadvantage, so caution and hesitation are inevitable.
Qin Heng's voice is very nice and he speaks smoothly.
Lu Songli couldn't help but slightly pulled the curtain and poked her head out, wanting to take a look.
The general's five senses were sharp, so she looked over, and the person over there noticed it immediately, and looked towards her with a pair of sharp eyes.
Lu Songli felt her scalp numb. No, was this Qin Sheng? The light was too dark last night, and her mind was not on the other person at the time, so she didn't take a close look at him at all.
She didn't expect that Qin Sheng had a face that was both good and evil. His features were thin and slim, and his face was very angular. This kind of appearance could be very good, but it could also be very bad. The narrow bridge of the nose and the narrow distance between the eyebrows give people the feeling that you are being targeted when looking at people, and you have a strong sense of attack. Oh my god, Qin Sheng’s appearance and rimless glasses make him look like the gentle scum who came out of urban literature. She had seen a photo of a certain uncle in his youth, and he looked similar to what he looks like now. With a look like this, once he gets a little older and is soaked in the aphrodisiac of power, he will feel like a fierce villain.
It was that woman. When she recognized Lu Songli, she was not an assassin or some random person, Qin Sheng's eyes suddenly dimmed. But soon he frowned again, why did this woman look at him like this? It was like I had just met him.
Looking at his face, Lu Songli was really stunned for a while.
And Qin Sheng glared at her when he saw her like this, and he still looked at her? Shameless!
Lu Songli:......
This face and this character were such a waste of money, Lu Songli turned away in disgust.
Lu Songli shifted her gaze slightly and landed on the person next to him. This slightly older man should be his eldest brother Qin Heng. He has a long face, with a longer and thinner middle. He has a mature temperament. Balance elegance with perseverance.
At this moment, Qin Heng also noticed something and looked over without leaving any trace. When he saw Lu Songli, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had guessed her identity, and then smiled reassuringly at her.
Even though they were caught, they were still two brothers. Lu Songli twitched her lips and smiled, then hid aside, trying her best to pretend as if nothing had happened. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
There was no one else in the flower hall. Father and mother of the Qin family saw the reaction of the two brothers, and they understood that they had discovered the daughter hiding inside. The reaction of the Qin family brother was also relatively friendly.
The two Qin brothers didn't stay long before leaving. Lu Desheng went to see the guests off in person. Obviously, the Qin family received higher treatment than the Xie family.
