Four or five steps behind the screen is a back door with a high threshold. Outside the door is a cloister and a nine-curved bridge.
The midday sun shines on the corridor, making it very warm and welcoming.
There is a small square table placed in the corridor next to the back door. There are several transparent plastic boxes placed on the square table, and each box contains a small half box of transparent crystal beads.
There are seven or eight beads strung together on the side of the box.
Colorful, those beads look very beautiful in the sun.
Judging from the direction of the square table, Xiaoju should have been sitting on the threshold stringing beads.
"Ah, these are so beautiful. Are they real crystals?" Lian Ruowei casually took another bead from the box to take a closer look.
"I don't know if it's real crystal, but it's not expensive anyway. I just like these shiny little things." Xiaoju replied.
Xiaoju blinked and looked at Lian Ruowei and said, "The old lady said not to let anyone disturb them. They should be out soon."
"It's okay, grandpa won't say anything about me!"
Lian Ruowei glanced at Xiaoju, turned around and pulled Dongzi's hand: "Dongzi, let's go!"
"By the way, what did you want to say to me just now?" Lian Ruowei asked Dongzi again.#@$&
Dongzi was stunned, shook his head and said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just suddenly thought that Grandpa Chen's change of temperament due to your grandma's death might be due to illness."
Being interrupted by Xiao Ju, Dongzi swallowed what she wanted to say and found an excuse to explain it away.
"There was a man over there before, and his personality changed a lot after his wife died. He used to be a very optimistic person, but in the end he committed suicide by drinking pesticide. Fortunately, he didn't die. He was taken to the hospital by his family for rescue and it was only later found out that he was suffering from the disease.
I suffered from depression, so my personality changed so much."
Dongzi said: "So I wondered if Grandpa Chen would be like this too."
When Lian Ruowei heard what Dongzi said, she smiled and said: "Probably not. Although grandpa's personality has changed a lot, he is still very cheerful. He also goes to the hospital for a routine check-up every year, probably because he is really old.
Bar."%&(&
"That's good."
Dongzi nodded, took Lian Ruowei's hand and said: "Brother Lu and the others are coming out anyway, why don't we just wait for them outside? Because of my mother's incident just now, you haven't told your grandpa about it yet.
Don't worry about it, so as not to make his old man unhappy."
"But that day I promised to take you to see Lu Xiaohong in the next two days. Yesterday I made you wait an extra day since I was not at home. I can't break my promise to you anymore," Lian Ruowei said.
"I can understand you. What's more, we are not in a hurry to go back so early. Brother Lu and the others will be out soon, right?" Dongzi was a little moved.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Lian Ruowei nodded, rested her head on Dongzi's shoulder and said, "Then let's walk around in the garden and wait for them."
Dongzi nodded and subconsciously glanced at Xiaoju. Xiaoju, who happened to be stringing beads, also raised her head and looked at him for a moment.
There was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
Dongzi understood that Xiaoju had just heard the conversation between him and Lian Ruowei and guessed what he would say next, so she deliberately made a noise to interrupt.
Because if what Ruowei said to him and what he thought were true, then what Zhao Ke said to him would not make sense.
Zhao Ke and Xiao Ju have been with this family from the beginning to now. What Dongzi can think of, how could Zhao Ke and Xiao Ju not think of it?
Since Zhao Ke and Xiao Ju still feel that Lian Ruowei cannot be trusted, there must be a reason that he doesn't know.
That's why Xiaoju stopped him when he was about to say it.
After thinking about this, Dongzi felt sweat on her forehead.
Even before he was 100% sure whether Ruowei was trustworthy or not, he almost told everything he knew.
He loves Lian Ruowei, and even if Lian Ruowei lies to him, he is still willing to pay for Lian Ruowei, and even if Lian Ruowei really wants his life, he will not be reluctant.
But he couldn't harm Zhao Ke, Xiao Ju and the others.
"Dongzi, what are you thinking about?" Lian Ruowei suddenly stretched out a hand and waved it in front of Dongzi.
"Ah? No, I didn't think about anything." Dongzi came to his senses for a moment and smiled guiltily at Lian Ruowei.
"I called you twice, but you ignored me and said you didn't think about anything!"
Lian Ruowei said with some dissatisfaction: "You must be hiding something from me."
"No, I'm just worried about my mother's health."
Dongzi looked at Lian Ruowei and said, "Ruowei, after we talk to Uncle Lian tonight, are you really going to accompany me back to Jiangzhou first?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't grandpa also tell me to accompany you back during dinner?" Lian Ruowei nodded.
"What about Brother Lu and the others?"
Dongzi asked again: "Will they go back with us? Didn't you say before that Brother Lu would also go back to Jiangzhou to get his household registration?"
"I can't tell you clearly about Brother Lu now. It probably depends on how Brother Lu's body recovers. Grandpa has to make the final decision regarding Cousin Shanshan and Brother Lu." Lian Ruowei replied.
"Ruowei, what kind of illness does Brother Lu have? He needs to recuperate alone. Why don't he go to the hospital?" Dongzi then asked.
"It seems to be an old problem!"
Lian Ruowei glanced at Dongzi and said, "Cousin Shanshan said that he has forgotten something and will get a splitting headache whenever he thinks about it.
Cousin Shanshan didn't tell me the specific thing I forgot, but I think it was probably about Hu Ling. You kept mentioning Hu Ling in front of Lu Xiaohong that day, that's why cousin Shanshan hates you so much.
As soon as we got off the plane that day, Lu Xiaohong fainted because of a headache. He was sent to the hospital, but no problem was found. Later, his grandfather said that Lu Xiaohong must have been poisoned by someone, so he took him home to recuperate.
These days, grandpa has been thinking of ways to cure Lu Xiaohong."
"Brother Lu was poisoned?"
Dongzi pretended to be surprised and asked: "But wasn't he going abroad to do some special task for the Tianshi Mansion before? Why didn't he go out again and was he poisoned?"
"I don't know about this!" Lian Ruowei shook her head and said.
"Then why is Brother Lu with Chen Shanshan again? Does she know why Brother Lu was bewitched? Brother Lu didn't seem to know Chen Shanshan before, and he didn't have any contact with her. How could he suddenly be bewitched and forget about it?
Hu Ling, who happens to be with Chen Shanshan?" Dongzi asked.
"What do you mean by that?"
Lian Ruowei stared at Dongzi, "Do you think the poison in Lu Xiaohong was caused by Shanshan's cousin? If it was really her, why did she ask her grandpa to help him remove the poison?"
