When Dongzi heard the woman's voice first mention my father and Lu Xiaohong, and then mention "this kid", she listened even more breathlessly.
However, the woman did not say anything more to Lu Xiaohong.
The person "this kid" mentioned was naturally Dongzi.
"That girl Ruowei seems to have real feelings for that boy." Mother Chen's voice said.
"Isn't it?" The woman's voice interface said: "Otherwise, it would not be cost-effective to pay my Dabai for that boy's life."
The woman's voice continued: "Ruowei is the girl who is most like Yuehua. When I see her, I can always think of Yuehua's death. I will inevitably be kind to that boy. I hope that boy will not disappoint me in the end.
"
"I think that boy is fine. He will definitely do what you want." Mother Chen comforted the woman.
"I'm still not worried, Xiao Chen, please accompany me to the door to have a look. I feel like someone just entered the yard." The woman spoke again.
Then there was a rustling sound in the room.
Dongzi quickly hid her body behind the tree trunk.
The plum trees have not grown leaves during this season, otherwise they would be able to climb up the tree and be more hidden.
Fortunately, where he was, there were two thick plum trees one behind the other, which covered him completely. There was a gap in the middle of the two tree trunks, and he could see through the gap to the other side of the outer room.
But in the blink of an eye, the heavy curtain of the room in the middle was opened. An old woman wearing a dark red cheongsam embroidered with gold threads and a blessing and longevity group pattern, a white fox fur shawl on her shoulders and a low bun was supported by Ma Chen.
He walked out of the house.
The old woman looked taller than ordinary women. She had makeup on her face and bright red lipstick on her lips. Her facial features looked a bit hard, which did not match her outfit very well.
I feel like a crossdresser.
Her skin color was originally quite fair, but the heavy makeup made the wrinkles on her face appear deeper.
Seeing the old woman, Dongzi was stunned and raised her hand to rub her eyes.
Looking again, the woman's sharp eyes were looking towards where he was hiding, with a little glint.
Dongzi quickly squatted down and hid her entire body behind the tree trunk.
He covered his mouth tightly, not even daring to breathe again to prevent himself from screaming.
What surprised Dongzi was not the old woman's uncoordinated appearance and dress, but the old woman herself.
She is clearly the kind-hearted old man Chen pretending to be.
At this moment, Dongzi finally understood why he had always felt that Old Mrs. Chen was a little strange.
Mr. Chen's voice was deliberately lowered when he spoke. Although his behavior and sitting posture seemed to give people a gentle and elegant feeling, if you look closely, he was a bit shy, pretending to be heroic but not pretending to be bold.
But if Mrs. Chen is disguised as a woman, this strange feeling would make perfect sense.
Dongzi could almost hear her heart beating wildly.
Old Mrs. Chen is actually a woman pretending to be a woman, so where has the real Old Mrs. Chen gone?
Why doesn't Lian Ruowei and even Ruowei's mother seem to have discovered this secret?
And judging from the meaning of this old woman's words, Lian Ruowei is indeed her granddaughter.
So who is this old woman?
"Xiao Chen, let's go over there and have a look!" The old woman stood at the door and watched for a while, then walked over to where Dongzi was.
Dongzi heard the footsteps coming towards him getting closer and closer.
Either go out and fight, or stay low and pretend to be the one who broke in accidentally, Dongzi thought in her heart, a little undecided.
He may not be able to win if he fights. Judging from the aura of this old woman, her cultivation level has passed the heaven level and should be above his master Hao Jingde.
It seems even worse to pretend to have broken in accidentally.
When Dongzi first came to Chen Mansion, in order to make Lian Ruowei's family look up to him, he did not sprinkle epiphyllum hydrosol on his body to hide his aura.
Now if he said that he came in accidentally, he would not be able to explain clearly just by hiding his breath.
What's more, Dongzi now knows the big secret that Old Mrs. Chen is disguised by this old woman. This old woman will definitely not let him live anymore.
As for running, it was even more impossible. His current position was still some distance away from the door of the house. The old woman couldn't see him, so she might just give up after taking a casual look.
But as long as he moves a little, he will be directly exposed in front of the old woman.
"Forget it, it's all about your life whether you die or not. If you die, don't be a coward. Go out and fight. If it doesn't work, I'll poison him with my blood. It's not a loss to trade one life for another!"
Dongzi closed her eyes, made up her mind and prepared to rush out.
"Ah, old madam, why are you out? I have just boiled mugwort water and am going to send it to you to soak your feet." A clear voice sounded from behind Dongzi.
Following the sound, a little girl wearing a maid's uniform, carrying a red wooden bucket in one hand and a few blooming red plums in the other, walked past Dongzi and trotted towards the old woman and Chen Ma.
Go up.
It's the Xiaoju who helped Dongzi and Lian Ruowei wash their hands before.
When passing by Dongzi, Xiaoju didn't even glance sideways, as if she didn't even notice that there was a cat under the tree.
"Old madam, I heard you and your godmother talking when I first came in, so I didn't disturb you. I folded some beautifully blooming red plums over there and brought them to the house for you to put in bottles."
Xiaoju raised the red plum in her hand and said to the old woman.
"It turns out it was you, the girl, who came in after me!"
She took a few red plums from Xiaoju's hand and said with a hint of endearment in her voice.
"Yes!" Xiaoju smiled mischievously at Chen's mother, "Who else do you think your godmother is?"
Dongzi was in a daze. He remembered that day when Zhao Ke asked Chen's mother to drive Xiao Ju out, Xiao Ju was so frightened that she knelt down.
Unexpectedly, Chen’s mother turned out to be Xiaoju’s godmother.
But why did Xiaoju show such panic in front of Zhao Ke and Lian Ruowei's mother and daughter that day?
Too strange!
"Old madam, it's cold outside. Come in quickly and I'll give you a good squeeze on your feet. Once all the fatigue is gone, you'll look younger when you look back." Xiaoju held the bucket in one hand and held the old woman's arm in the other.
of an arm.
"Xiao Chen, your little girl's little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. It's even better than when you were young!" The old woman said to Chen's mother with a smile, and let Xiao Ju help her turn around and face her.
Go to that row of houses.
It wasn't until she heard the sound of the brocade door curtain being raised and lowered that Dongzi breathed out softly.
He sat in a daze under the plum tree for a while. Just as he was about to stand up, he heard the sound of the door curtain being lifted again.
Dongzi was instantly frightened and crouched down again, looking towards the door from the gap between the two trees. This chapter has been completed!
