Chapter 302 Meeting an old friend
Lu Shian had finished her work by now. When she heard what her elder sister said, she immediately realized that this person might have a special relationship with her elder sister.
But seeing that her elder sister didn't tell the truth, she didn't dare to say anything.
"Sister, mother, let's go. We can't stay in the Marquis' Mansion anymore."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Qin Qiubai subconsciously grabbed the corner of Lu Xianchun's clothes: "Wait..."
Lu Xianchun turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Qin Qiubai knew that he was being rude, and quickly withdrew his hand: "If you don't live in the Marquis' Mansion, where are you going to live?"
Lu Shian said: "This has nothing to do with you."
Qin Qiubai replied: "You are the main victims of the well poisoning case. The matter has not been investigated yet and I still need your cooperation. So I need to know where you live so that I can find you at any time."
This was true. After Lu Shian reported the address of the new house, the mother and daughter left the mansion.
When Li Zhener heard that the government officials had gotten involved, she panicked: "I didn't expect this bitch would dare to report it to the government."
"No, we must not let the people from the Dali Temple interfere in this matter..."
Li Zhen'er paced back and forth in the room. She had to find a way to stop the people from the Dali Temple from investigating this matter. If they found out that she and her son were responsible, they would be finished.
There were many shady things happening in the women's house, and no one would let the government get involved. I didn't expect Lu Shian to report it directly to the Dali Temple.
Not only Li Zhen'er was angry, Marquis Yongkang was also furious when he learned about it. The first thing he did when he returned to the marquis's mansion was to ask Yu Xiuying and her daughter to come see him.
The housekeeper told him that Yu Xiuying and her daughter had left along with the servants they brought with them, and he ran angrily to find his wife.
The wife of Marquis Yongkang sat on the chaise longue. She looked sick and even had difficulty breathing.
Seeing that Yongkang Hou had arrived, she forced herself to sit up: "My Lord..."
Seeing his wife like this, Yongkang Hou's tone softened a lot: "What's going on? Why did even the Dali Temple get alarmed?"
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang started crying before she could say anything: "My Lord..."
Nanny Li said, "This morning, Yu came to Madam's place and made a scene, saying that Madam wanted to harm them and her daughter and poisoned the well in Tingzhu Garden. Then she smashed everything in Madam's place, even smashing Madam's favorite vase..."
"Madam finally found out the reason and started to investigate. However, Miss Shi'an didn't believe that Madam would handle the case impartially, so she secretly went to report to the Dali Temple..."
"Ever since the mother and daughter entered the Marquis' Mansion, there has not been a single day of peace in the Mansion."
"It's my fault. They have been here for just a few days. First, the little girl Ziyuan was thrown off the rockery, and now I heard that someone has poisoned the well in Zhuyuan..."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang said, "I don't know who they offended to make someone so cruel as to want to kill them."
Yongkang Hou did not respond. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Have they, the mother and daughter, moved out?"
Madam Yongkang nodded: "They said it was unsafe to live in the mansion and insisted on moving out."
"Okay, let them live outside for a few days."
When Li Zhener knew that Yongkang Hou had returned, she hurried to find him, but she was still a step too late. When she knew that Yongkang Hou had come here, she hurried to chase him.
"Madam heard that you were mad at Yu, so my sister came to see you."
Madam Yongkang glanced at Li Zhener coldly and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, sister. If you really love me, you can discipline your son. That's better than anything else."
"Sister, what do you mean by that? Hui'er has been working very hard, but unfortunately she doesn't have a good uncle who can't take the trouble to help her make arrangements. This is incomparable to the eldest son, who can join the patrol camp as soon as he comes back..."
"Sun'er earned his place in the patrol battalion by risking his life in the army. It's not something an idler would envy."
"Sister, are you saying that Hui'er is idle?"
"I just can't say anything about other people's children. I can only discipline my own children."
"You..." Li Zhen'er wanted to fight back, but Yongkang Hou interrupted unhappily: "Okay, how old are you two? Why are you still like this?"
Li Zhener was not convinced: "I knew that my sister was not feeling well, so I rushed to see her. But look at my sister, she was speaking in a sarcastic way..."
"Okay, since you're not feeling well today, just say less. But you, didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?"
Marquis Yongkang didn't care about the life or death of Yu Xiuying and her daughter, but it was always bad for such a thing to happen in his own mansion, especially for his heir.
Being questioned by the Marquis of Yongkang, Li Zhener quickly spoke up: "Of course, Zhener will never forget what the Marquis said, but the commotion in the mansion today was really serious, and I couldn't help but worry that my sister couldn't handle it alone, so I bravely came out to help my sister..."
The wife of the Marquis of Yongkang ruthlessly retorted: "No need, I have been managing the Marquis's Mansion for so many years, when did I need you to worry about it?"
"Yes, sister is so amazing. She was able to find her son even after he was lost for so many years."
This matter was a thorn in her heart. Although Lu Jingxun was found, the mistake had been made and the price to pay for changing it would be too high.
Li Zhen'er dared to say this in front of her. She was simply asking for her own death. She raised her head and glared at him fiercely: "Shut up about things that are none of your business. There is something I wanted to tell you later. Since you are here, I will ask you one more question. Hui'er should also be under house arrest. Why can't I see him in the mansion today?"
Li Zhen'er said calmly, "The Marquis forbade him to move around, so he must have been confined in his room to reflect on his mistakes!"
Lu Jinghui was indeed not in the mansion before, so of course he is back now!
"It's best to stay in the mansion, but it's okay if you sneak out, as long as you don't cause any trouble!"
Yongkang Hou didn't want to listen to the two bickering, so he stood up and said, "I have something important to deal with, you should have a good rest!"
Now that Marquis Yongkang has left, Li Zhener naturally won’t stay any longer!
Her original intention was to persuade Marquis Yongkang to come forward and settle the matter, but who knew that as soon as she opened her mouth, Marquis Yongkang asked her a question!
"Is this something that you and your son did?"
Li Zhener was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly: "That was not the case at that time, how could the Marquis think like that!"
"The matter has been reported to the Dali Temple, so let the Dali Temple investigate!"
In the evening, Lu Shian came to Lu Xianchun's room as usual to tease Zhinian. After playing with Zhinian for a while, Zhinian drank his milk and fell asleep!
"Sister, you guys know the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple today, right?"
After Lu Zhinian fell asleep, Lu Shian went straight to the point and asked Lu Xianchun!
Lu Xianchun smoothed the little girl's clothes in his hand and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you!"
Lu Shian stared at Lu Xianchun and asked, "Then... is he Zhinian's father?"
Lu Xianchun smiled, and she asked back, "Are they very similar?"
