Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 424

Lu Yunkai quickly checked the middle-aged man surnamed Xie. The middle-aged man’s name was Xie Jin, who came from an’cheng.

He really didn’t lie. He did have an aunt who married a merchant surnamed Zhang in Ancheng and became a concubine. She died decades ago, leaving a daughter, but she also died 30 years ago.

After that, the Xie family and Zhang family had no contact with each other because of the death of their blood and relatives. In recent years, the Xie family’s business has gradually improved, and they accidentally snatched several small businesses from Zhang family. Zhang’s new chief is not broad-minded, so he coerces other businessmen to crack down on the Xie family, so that the Xie family can only go to other places to find merchants to save their business.

However, the northern part of an’cheng is the most prosperous city in the nearby state capitals. Besides, Zhang Jia is a great master with a deep foundation, and people in the nearby state capitals dare not compete with him. Therefore, the Xie family has no choice but to go to the most prosperous and far away state capitals.

Xie Jin thought that no matter how fierce Zhang was, he would not reach the capital.

It’s true.

Xie Jin finally solved the crisis after several days of bumping into the wall. When he was going to go back to Ancheng that day, he accidentally saw Lu Mu sitting in the carriage. He was surprised to find that she was very similar to his sister-in-law. After several days of inquiry, he finally learned that it was the carriage of the wife of the last new champion. That’s why yesterday’s scene came into being.

Although it is very abrupt, it can be seen that Xie Jin really wants to find a truth.

After hearing the information Lu Yunkai found, song Xintong nodded: “so he really has no other attempt.”

Lu Yunkai had no words.

“Don’t you believe him?” Song Xintong intuitively thinks that Xie Jin is reliable, not like a man with ulterior motives.

Lu Yunkai shook his head and denied: “it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. It’s just my mother’s place…”

Song Xintong looked at him: “are you worried about mother?”

If Xie Jin’s cousin who has died for many years is Niang, why does Niang appear in Taohua village in the south? And dumb? What happened in the middle of this?

Song Xintong can understand Lu Yunkai’s worry, because he is afraid to make his mother think of those things and make her worry.

“But what if my mother wants to recognize this relative?” Song Xintong also said.

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

Song Xintong felt that it was not impossible, “if the Xie family is a benevolent and good family, it would be OK to have more relatives.”

What Lu Yunkai sent people to investigate is nothing more than the skin. People are separated from each other. He doesn’t know exactly what to do, but on the surface, Xie Jin is still honest.

Song Xintong see Lu Yunkai eyebrows loose, know his idea, “you must not take Niang as warm.”

Lu Yunkai also knew that he was too worried and too cautious. He sighed softly, “OK.”

Song Xintong said, “go and talk to your mother. You can always tell whether it’s true or false.”

Although she has a good relationship with Lu Mu Bo’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it is more appropriate for Lu Yunkai to talk about these things as his own son.

Lu Yunkai nodded and said yes.

It was still early, and Lu’s mother had not stopped. She was sitting by the candle making clothes.

“Niang, it’s dark in the house at night. It’s not as dark as day. Don’t do that again.” Lu Yunkai took the embroidery work from Lu Mu’s hand and put it aside.

Lu’s mother said with a gesture, “it’s very bright in the room with the candle burning. It’s not in the way.” “This is a robe made for you, and it will be sewn with a few stitches,” he said

Lu Yunkai didn’t want his mother to work too hard. “Mother, my son still has many clothes to wear. You don’t have to do them for me any more.”

“It’s all made by Xintong and you, but not by Niang.” Lu Mu said, gesticulating.

After hearing this, Lu Yunkai felt a little sad, “don’t do it after finishing this set. My son and Nuan Nuan have endless clothes.” In order to support her family’s expenses, Niang’s eyes were not clear after years of embroidery. Lu Yunkai didn’t want her eyes to get worse.

Mother Lu nodded, but her work didn’t stop.

Lu Yunkai pondered for a moment, hesitated and said, “mother, my son has never asked you how you met my father.”

Mother Lu raised her eyes in surprise and said, “why do you suddenly think of asking this?”

“Today, my son thought that steamed bun and huajuan are nearly four years old. They haven’t returned to their hometown to worship their father and mother-in-law. I think that I should go back to Taohua village when I have time.”

Lu’s mother was also a little dazed when she heard that she had been away from Taohua village for such a long time. She didn’t have much contact with the people in Taohua village. Her only thought was Lu’s father who was sleeping in the green mountains.

Lu’s mother asked, “time flies. It’s nearly ten years since your father died.”

“When your father was still there, he expected you to become an official one day. Now you are successful, and there are three clever and sensible children, so your father can sleep in peace.”

Lu Yunkai still remembers that when his father was still alive, he was just a green boy. In the past few years, he has become the father of three children. He also understands that his father worked hard for his enlightenment when he was young. “When his son was young, he should not have steamed bread. They were naughty.”

Lu’s mother nodded with a smile and said, “when you were young, you were quiet. You didn’t play with the children in the village. You always sat in the corner practicing calligraphy and reading. Your parents didn’t worry much.”

Lu Yunkai couldn’t remember when he was a child. He shook his head with a smile and said, “steamed bread is not like me.”

“It’s better to be lively. It’s boring to be like you.” Lu’s mother thinks of her grandson and granddaughter, and her face smiles. Because there are three more people in her family, she laughs constantly every day, and she is also happy to listen.

Thinking of this, Lu Mu sighed again. If their grandfather was still there, it would be better, “if you can, you should take steamed bread back to Taohua village to worship.”

“I’ll go back when I’m free in a few days.” Lu Yun said, “I’m going to move my father’s grave to the capital. My son thinks that he may not go back to the village for many years.”

“No more.” Lu Mu shakes her head. She has lived in Taohua village for decades and has already taken that place as her root. “After my father and mother met each other, they lived in Taohua village. That place is our root.”

Lu Yunkai won’t disobey his mother’s meaning. He said yes.

Lu’s mother was very disappointed when she thought about the past. Time passed quickly.

Lu Yunkai sipped his tea and then said, “mother, yesterday a man came to the door and claimed to be your mother’s relative.”

Lu Mu was stunned, then her face changed slightly.

Lu Yunkai looked at Niang’s face, worried. “That person’s surname is Xie, but it’s from Ning’an county.”

When Lu’s mother heard the other’s surname Xie, she looked slightly relaxed, but she also slightly resisted.

Seeing his mother’s expression, Lu Yunkai knew that the Xie family were really relatives, but his mother was not willing to mention more about the past. After thinking about it, he said, “since my mother doesn’t know me, my son will be dismissed.”

Mother Lu hesitated for a moment and shook her hand.

“Niang…” Lu Yunkai looks at Lu Mu.

Lu Mu sighed and said, “yes.”

Lu’s mother recalled the days when she had lived in Zhangjia. She had always been gentle and kind-hearted with a little resistance. It can be seen that the stories of the past had caused a lot of shadow in her heart.

Lu Yunkai is a little regretful. He shouldn’t tell his mother about it. She has suffered too much in her life. To mention it again is just adding to her distress. As a son of man, he is so unfilial. Even if Niang later knew how to reprimand him for breaking a relationship, he just didn’t want Niang to think about the painful things in the past,

Lu’s mother really doesn’t want to recall the past, but it’s not as painful as her son’s worry. She just didn’t expect that nearly 30 years later, there will be people who will remember her and come to find her.

“If it is peace under the jurisdiction of an Cheng, it should be the Xie family where your grandmother lives.”

This is the first time that Lu Yunkai has heard about Lu Mu’s ancestors. He listens a little.

Lu’s mother said: “not long after I was born, your grandmother died of illness. Coupled with the fact that the Xie family seldom came to Ancheng, I didn’t have much contact with the Xie family.”

Lu’s mother moves slowly. Lu Yunkai takes it very seriously. Maybe she is connected with her son. He can see from her movements that she is not comfortable living in Zhangjia.

Lu’s mother continued to say: “since I was born, the business of Zhang’s family has become better and better. Your grandfather thought that my birth was a blessing, so that he could love me more. As a common girl in my family, my father’s love is a sharp blade. Although I look beautiful on the surface, I am regarded as a thorn in the eye by my wife. ”

“Fortunately, my wife was just dissatisfied with me and didn’t act too much. In addition to my father’s care, I had a comfortable life.”

“It doesn’t last long. Your grandfather died when I was 14 years old. The only one who could protect me went, and it was getting worse at home.”

When Lu Yunkai saw this, he guessed what happened later. His whole body was cold. Zhang Jia, how unreasonable!

Lu’s mother patted Lu Yunkai on the back of her hand, and then said: “since ancient times, common sons and common daughters have not been liked by the master mother. It’s the master mother’s mercy that I can live in peace for so many years.”

Lu’s mother didn’t talk about what happened after that. It’s not a good thing to think about it. It’s long past, and she’s still alive. Let’s go.

Lu Mu’s words are full of emotion, sadness, and transparency. She has lived for decades without complaint, anger or hatred.

Lu Yunkai is a vengeful man. He won’t let Zhang Jia go.

“Do you want to see Uncle Xie?”

Lu’s mother hesitated, saying that she had been living in Zhangjia. In her memory, only a few times she met Xie’s family when they came to give gifts on New Year’s day. She seldom communicated with each other at ordinary times, so she could not say that she had feelings with them.

But the Xie family is her own mother’s family, and Lu’s mother still has a little concern in her heart, “is the Xie family OK?”

Lu Yunkai nodded and told his mother what he had found, “it’s settled now.”

Mother Lu nodded and said it was so good.

“I’d better see you then.” Lu Yunkai also saw Lu’s mother’s tangle, “mother doesn’t have to think much, just walk around as an ordinary relative.”

Mother Lu thought about it and nodded her head.

After discussing with Lu’s mother, Lu Yunkai orders someone to find Xie Jin. At the same time, he sends someone to Ancheng to find out why her mother appeared in Lingnan and met her father, who was studying abroad? Mother does not want to mention the past, does not mean that he will not pursue!
