I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

The eyes of everyone in the room were focused on Luo Qianhuai. She smiled lightly and said:

"I remember the last time I saw Aweng, when I was nine years old. It has been five years since then."

There was a hint of bitterness in the smile on her face, and she walked up to the old servant. Her dark pupils looked at him quietly: "Today, a strange face was suddenly sent, calling himself empty-handed and white-toothed. I wonder if you have any proof that you are from Aweng? I can't just leave you casually based on your few words, right?"

The old servant had a very good temper. Hearing her speak like this, not only did he not feel annoyed at all, but there were also a few smiles on his brown and rough face.

"Don't worry, Madam. This servant is really here to pick you up on the order of the Lord. I have just given the evidence to Old Madam Wen for inspection. If Madam doesn't believe it, just check it again."

Luo Qianhuai turned around and saw Wen Zhou and Wen Mu both nodding. Mrs. Lin stood up and took a slightly yellowed silk handkerchief from Wen's mother's hand, with a delicate four-leaf orchid embroidered on it: "This is your mother's craftsmanship. I taught her how to make red silk after I got married." , so you can see it at a glance.”

Can you determine your identity just by looking at a piece of veil? Luo Qianhuai didn't think so, but seeing that his grandfather's family already believed him, he had to put this suspicion aside for now.

"This uncle." Her face softened slightly: "My little girl still has doubts. Please answer it for me: Since Ah Weng is still alive, why has there been no news at all in the past few years and has he ignored the children in the family? Moreover, Wenfu is the youngest daughter. My mother’s family is also Aweng’s father-in-law’s family. Now that I have thought of arranging a marriage for my little daughter, why don’t you go there in person instead of sending uncle to come alone?”

Luo Qianhuai asked these two questions in a gentle tone, but everyone could hear the hidden edge in it.

The old servant really didn't expect that the gentle and lovely lady that Jing Lingcheng said would be so ruthless when he spoke. First he questioned his identity, and then he alluded to his father's unkindness to his children. Being rude to your parents-in-law.

Can such a powerful person really obey his mistress's arrangements and enter the Cui family honestly?

The old servant shook his head and suddenly felt that he had thought too much. The head of the Cui family is Master Cui Jinwu, Cui Xiaoben. Although his young man fell from a horse and injured his leg and became disabled, there are still many beautiful girls waiting to see him. If he hadn't been so beautiful, he wouldn't have looked at him this time. I'm afraid it won't be my eldest lady's turn until good things happen.

He was about to defend Jing Yuan a few words, but Wen's mother over there looked at Wen Zhou and spoke first:

"Yin Yin." She advised: "Your brother-in-law hasn't shown up for so many years. I guess he must have some difficulties. Go back and have a good talk with him and open up the knots in your heart."

Wenzhou also sighed: "There are no bad parents in the world. You have always been a good boy, so you must be able to figure out the reason. As for us, it is actually not a problem. When your mother died, both families were heartbroken. , it’s also my fault for saying some angry words out of my mouth, but now that I think about it, it’s not entirely your fault, Aweng.”

When Wen Zhou said this, thinking of his daughter who died young, his nose couldn't help but feel sore, and Wen's mother's eye circles were already red.

Luo Qianhuai understood that his grandparents said this because they did not want him to get into trouble with his father because of the past. In this era, she was already known as the eldest daughter of a widowed woman. If she added a new chapter of unfilial piety, it would probably ruin her hard-won marriage.

It's just that they don't understand that she doesn't care about the so-called reputation, nor does she care about this kind of marriage that fell from the sky. She just can't bear to let her grandfather's family worry about her anymore.

She raised her eyes and looked at the old servant, who immediately lowered his head politely: "Madam, I really misunderstood my master. My master has not had an easy life these years, and he has not shown up. In fact, he cannot help himself. These things, You will find out when you go back with the servant and ask. But I know that the master of the house is thinking about the eldest lady, otherwise he would not have specially arranged such a good marriage for you. "

Marriage matters were not important, Luo Qianhuai really wanted to go back with him quickly and ask the cheap daddy what he was hiding.

She didn't ask any more questions, turned to say goodbye to the Wen family, and then got into the carriage with Xingxuan.

As soon as the car started to move, Wenjia followed up from behind, shouting. Xingxuan opened the curtain on the car window, revealing his face:

"My eldest father asked me to go back with you to meet my uncle," he said.

Luo Qianhuai understood that his grandfather was worried about him, so he asked his cousin to escort him all the way back and explore Aweng's new residence.

There was a warmth in her heart: "Thank you very much, cousin."

"Why are you so polite?" This was the first time that Wen Jia heard her solemnly thank him. He immediately turned into a nurse fanatic, patted his chest and promised, "Yin Yin, don't worry, if you don't feel happy staying with your uncle, I will Come back home, the door of our Wen family will always be open to you!"

"Yes." Luo Qianhuai smiled and lowered the curtain, then faced Xingxuan's hesitant face.

She could guess what she wanted to say, so she quickly said: "Don't ask any more questions about the horoscopes that haven't been revealed yet. Let's wait until we see Aweng in person!"

The carriage drove into Yishanfang in the northeast of Xijing. Luo Qianhuai didn't think anything was wrong, but Wen Jia, who was walking behind the car outside, frowned tightly and carefully looked at the surrounding houses.

It's almost noon, and other buildings are bustling with smoke and smoke, but here it's deserted, with no one on the street. Occasionally, there are a few old men sitting at the entrance of the courtyard basking in the sun, all without beards and heels. Adam's apple.

Wenjia's steps became heavier and heavier. He walked to the old servant and coughed twice. The other servant gave him a wry smile and said nothing.

He knew Yishanfang, which was where eunuchs lived outside. It was very close to Weiyang Palace, so it was convenient for them to go back and serve their master. So this is my uncle’s unspeakable secret?

The carriage stopped in front of a small courtyard. The front door was about the same size as the Wen family's house in Huairenfang, but in this Yishanfang, it was already considered a big house.

A young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came out and opened the door. Her eyes turned to Luo Qianhuai's face and clothes, and she was obviously a little surprised.

"Yusou, who is this?"

"That's the eldest lady." The old servant Yu Sou said, and introduced Wen Jia beside him: "This is the cousin of the Wen family."

"Lu'er has met the eldest lady and met the young master." The young envoy Lu'er bowed and led the people inside: "Madam was talking to the young lady just now, saying why the eldest lady still can't come over, and she is worried about the journey. What happened to delay us?"

lady? Little lady? Luo Qianhuai raised his eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Wen Jia. At this moment, his eyebrows were almost twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan" and his hands were tightly clenched into fists. It was obvious that he had understood the meaning of Lu'er's words.

Luo Qianhuai winked at him, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the courtyard.
