Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Feng, and Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Yuan, had been friends since childhood in the capital.
Lu Tongpan's first wife sent a letter to ask her niece to come to Yong'an City. I wonder if she mentioned the matter of making Lu Tongpan his concubine. Anyway, Mrs. Lu Tongpan brought Yuan's wife with her when she came.
When her daughter-in-law's niece came to visit her home with her friends, Mrs. Lu still felt that her daughter-in-law was a well-informed person. She might have said something like that in the past, but it was probably just a temporary thought, so she didn't take any precautions at all.
Madam Lu didn't explain exactly what happened that night. She only said that after that night, Lu Tongpan took the Yuan family as his concubine, and Young Master Lu married his cousin who was three years older than him.
Yuanshi was so proud that she gave birth to Lu Tongpan's second son, Erbao, more than nine months later.
In the Qilin Kingdom, the status of concubines is clearly defined, especially the concubines, while concubines are not qualified to raise children.
After that night, Mrs. Lu had developed a dislike for Lu Tongpan's first wife, so she used her poor health as an excuse to take her second baby to her side to raise her.
According to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu was probably pregnant at that time, and Lu Tongpan’s first wife didn’t have the energy to care about the second child, so she didn’t object.
Pang Ai, who was good-looking and smart since childhood, was very popular with Lu Tongpan. On Erbao's second birthday, Lu Tongpan, who had always been low-key, even set up a dozen tables at Hefeng Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Yong'an City at the time, to congratulate him.
.
Mrs. Lu burst into tears when she said this, "Who knew he would never come back after leaving."
Someone dressed up as a waiter to assassinate the then prefect, and Lu Tong, who was holding his child, suffered a terrible disaster.
Lu Tong judged himself to be seriously injured and returned home. When he got home, the child in his hands was no longer breathing.
Coincidentally, on the same night, Lu Tongpan's first wife died of illness.
Saying 'died of illness' is a nice way of saying it. Mrs. Lu said: "Only during the day did the servants find out that she had expired. When she found out, her body was already stiff. I went over and took a look. It didn't look like she died of illness, but more like
What frightened you?"
A look of horror on his face.
Mrs. Lu and Qi Baoer, who was only four or five years old, said that they felt no pressure at all.
As for little adults, they can still see things they can't see. If I'm afraid of scaring the children, it's hard to say which one is scarier than what she said or what the children can see.
On the seat next to Mrs. Lu where Mrs. Lu couldn't see, Erbao was sitting there, pointing his fingers at each other, occasionally raising his head to glance at Qi Bao'er, and then quickly lowering his head.
The guilty look on his face made him almost tell Qi Bao'er directly, "I did this."
But it's a bit weird to pray for treasure. Er Baopiao's soul is very clean, not dirty at all, and it doesn't look like a soul with karma.
Lu Tongpan was in a state of confusion the whole time. He looked blankly at his own mother, who originally only had eyes for him, but now she didn't have him in her eyes and turned her attention to a little girl who was a complete stranger to her.
"Well, this roast chicken is Quanjulou's signature dish. In the early spring, grandma would queue up to buy it before dawn."
——Hehe, mother, didn’t you say that you wanted to give me a toothpaste as a gift because I am rarely at home today?
"Miss Bao, try this lucky dumpling again. This is Grandma Chun's special skill. Grandma Chun has not done it for several years."
——Yes, after that incident, my mother no longer let Aunt Chun cook, saying that she fed a group of white-eyed wolves for free.
Thinking of the past, Judge Lu Tong had no intention of being shocked. He sighed silently in his heart, picked up his bowl and ate in silence.
After dinner, Qi Baoer followed Aunt Chun to take a nap on the excuse of being sleepy.
As soon as she left, Mrs. Lu stepped forward without saying a word, grabbed her son's ear and carried him into the hall next door.
"You come with me."
Qi Bao'er was a lazy person and didn't want to explain it to Judge Lu Tong again, so he found a reason to avoid it and let Mrs. Lu talk to Judge Lu Tong herself.
It was also to avoid suspicion. The Erbao matter was a private matter of the Lu family and a big scandal. She was an outsider.
Officials value these vain things the most.
Although it is useless, you still have to show an attitude: I am not interested in your family affairs at all, and you should not think that I know something and have a grudge, or even want to do something.
Alas~
The little fat man held the quilt with his hands and sighed deeply. Qi Bao'er didn't know how to describe his luck.
I thought that Judge Lu Tong was troubled by something, but she came to help solve the problem. How could Judge Lu Tong take this into consideration and take care of Qijia Village?
Who knew that these dirty secrets would be revealed?
I just hope Lu Tongfan is generous enough and doesn't mind those things being known to others.
She wasn't afraid that Judge Lu Tong would try to kill people or silence her, but she was afraid that her grandma and the others would be hurt.
Alas~
However, a big-hearted baby is a big-hearted baby. One moment, he was looking sad, and the next moment, he fell back and fell asleep.
Aunt Chun, who has been waiting by the side: "..."
-
"Ouch~"
A cry of pain caused all the birds standing on the trees in the courtyard to fly up.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Mrs. Lu's urgent voice came from outside the door.
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, within a few breaths, the door was pushed open with a strong force, and Mrs. Lu rushed in with a pale face.
"Uh...my son, what are you doing sitting there?"
I saw the little girl sitting on the bed with her cute and confused eyes blinking at her. Beside the bed, her most promising son was sitting on the ground, covering his right eye with one hand and screaming in pain.
Judge Lu Tong: "..."
Can he say that the little girl came to him as soon as she opened her eyes?
Can you say that he was almost blinded by such a small pink fist in his eyes?
Can it be said that after he was punched, he realized that his behavior of squatting in front of the little girl's bed was considered shameful and deserved to be beaten?
No, no.
"No, mother, I knocked a little."
Madam Lu looked at Qi Bao'er with some disbelief, and then at her son who was still covering his eyes with one hand.
Qi Baoer looked at Lu Tongpan and blinked with an innocent look on his face.
Judge Lu Tong: "..."
I believed your evil deeds.
After listening to what his mother told him, he already believed that the little girl in front of him was really capable.
It was wrong for him to squat in front of the little girl's bed. It was possible that the little girl was angry when she got up, but he didn't believe it. The punch she threw was not intentional.
He really saw it. At that time, there was no trace of confusion in the little girl's eyes. At that moment, the little girl's originally clear eyes were as dark as an abyss. Even he, who had known countless people, was also frightened.
One jump.
He didn't feel murderous intent, but at that moment he really had the feeling that she wanted to kill him.
Of course Qi Baoer had no intention of killing Lu Tongfan.
Just when she woke up, she saw a man who was originally elegant and well-organized, but now he was squatting beside her bed like a wolf, with bright eyes as if he wanted to eat her.
This change was hard for her to accept for a while, and she thought it was a fake.
She had never encountered ghosts replacing real people before.
Even if it was a deliberate punch, Qi Baoer would definitely not be able to admit it.
So, she decided to strike preemptively.
With a confused look on his face, he asked warily: "Uncle Lu, why are you here? I woke up and suddenly saw someone next to the bed. I thought he was a bad guy."
