When Li Jinglan went to meet Xu Xianzhi, she didn't bring anyone with her.

I went there alone.

Xu Xianzhi's home is inside the Xu Guogong Mansion, and the location of the courtyard is relatively remote.

Judging from the location of the yard, Li Jinglan felt that Xu Feng was not very favored in the Xu family.

Xu Xianzhi didn't expect that Li Jinglan would come in the afternoon of the same day she received the invitation.

Greet at the Chuihua Gate.

The two exchanged some pleasantries and then got down to business.

Xu Xianzhi planned to transfer all the shares of Furong Noodle Workshop to Li Jinglan.

"As I get older, I don't have as much energy as before." Xu Xianzhi smiled and used age as an excuse.

Li Jinglan knew that Xu Xianzhi had the same idea as her.

Civil officials cannot associate with nobles.

Xu Xianzhi not only made a deal with her, but should have also made the same deal with Liu.

Previously, Xu Xianzhi, Liu and Li Jinglan were dating because of the difference in status.

Now the Wang family has two Jinshi, and Lu Bozhou has won the top prize.

It would be taboo to continue interacting with them.

Li Jinglan stood up and saluted, saying everything without words, "Although the shares are gone, the friendship is still there. If aunt has anything, just send someone to call me. I will be there at your service."

Xu Xianzhi smiled and sent Li Jinglan out.

He sighed softly, "Some people, when they encounter wind and clouds, they turn into dragons."

Who would have thought that Lu Bozhou, who was imprisoned last year, would suddenly become the top scholar and catch the emperor's eye.

Lu Bozhou was appointed to copy the scriptures.

Li Jinglan's carriage passed by another carriage.

After the woman in gorgeous clothes got off the carriage, she got on the oil-painted carriage.

The woman got out of the car when passing Xu Feng's yard.

"I just saw a strange carriage leaving the house, and it seemed to be leaving from your yard?" The woman's surname was Xing. She was the wife of Xu Feng's brother and also Xu Xianzhi's sister-in-law.

Xu Xianzhi smiled faintly: "Just a friend."

"Oh, what kind of friend would hide something and dare not tell me?" Xing looked at Xu Xianzhi with a smile.

Xu Xianzhi changed the subject: "Where did you come from, sister-in-law?"

"My uncle was confined to his house and fined his salary, so I went home to accompany my aunt." Xing was the niece of the Princess of Guangping.

Xu Xianzhi smiled but didn't say anything else.

Xing began to talk incessantly about the Guangping County Prince's family.

Xu Xianzhi just smiled but didn't say a word.

Seeing that Xu Xianzhi didn't say anything, Xing lost interest in talking any further and turned away.

When Li Jinglan returned home, Prince Jin had already returned.

Talking with Lu Zhongyu in the flower hall.

Upon hearing that Lu Zhongyu was going to attend the community school in the capital, Prince Jin shook his head.

"The capital is not like Nanli County. There might be a prince wearing a white dragon and fish costume in the community school. Those princes are raised like phoenix eggs by their families. They have eccentric personalities and you can't afford to offend any of them. Talk to your brother and ask him to find a scholar to teach at home."

King Jin mentioned Yin Zhihai, "If your brother can't be found, you can ask Yin Zhi, uh, Grand Secretary Yin to look for him."

It was a close call. I almost blurted out Yin Zhihai's name.

Fortunately, Lu Zhongyu didn’t understand anything.

Lu Zhongyu frowned and said, "I will tell my sister-in-law."

King Jin raised his eyebrows: "Why do you have to tell your sister-in-law about everything? Doesn't your brother care about you?"

Lu Zhongyu smiled: "Of course I care, but my brother is not at home from morning to night, and I was already asleep when he came back."

The King of Jin tentatively talked about the past again: "Your brother was tortured and imprisoned by the minor clan for four years. During these four years, your brother did not ask for help from the major clan? Who did your brother write the letter to? Did your father have any good friends? Why didn't he entrust you three siblings to the care of his good friends?"

Lu Zhongyu lowered his eyelids and shook his head: "I was still young at that time and I don't remember anything. I only remember that my brother was imprisoned..."

King Jin thought of Lu Zhongyu's age.

Lu Zhongyu and Lu Guanyu were three years old when their parents died.

A three-year-old child doesn't even have a complete memory.

When Lu Zhongyu said he didn’t remember, he probably really didn’t remember.

King Jin was in a dilemma for a moment.

When Mr. Lu was alive, he only had a good relationship with Teacher Wang.

He had already asked someone to interrogate Teacher Wang, who knew very little about the Lu family.

No one even knows when Mr. Lu’s wife gave birth.

Mr. Lu only dated Teacher Wang and never allowed his wife to date Liu.

He also sent people to the Lu family to ask.

The head of the Lu family only knew that Lu Xiucai met a woman outside, and they hit it off at first sight, and then he strongly demanded that Lu Xiucai cancel the engagement.

When he failed to break off the engagement, he eloped with that woman.

The woman had no home or background, and no one even knew where she came from.

No name was left.

The only surname we know is Bai.

When Lu Bozhou was appointed as an official, the King of Jin made a small move and asked Lu Bozhou to fill in his date of birth.

After reviewing it at the Imperial Observatory, it was found that the horoscope did not match Lu Bozhou's past experiences at all.

Then he took out another birth chart.

After reviewing it, I found that it was exactly the same as Lu Bozhou's experience.

After reading it, the emperor was silent for a long time.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. I have been looking for him for seventeen years. Every year I travel around the world to look for him... Now that there is hope, don't be impatient!"

Prince Jin comforted himself in his heart.

It’s simple for father and son to recognize each other: roll up their sleeves.

Check if there is a plum blossom mole.

The prince's physical signs are kept in detailed archives by the royal family.

But these are not enough.

Even if the father and son recognized each other, it would be in vain if the officials did not acknowledge Lu Bozhou's legitimacy.

The royal bloodline must not be confused.

It is extremely difficult to recognize the prince who has been exiled to the common people.

He needed to find all of Lu Xiucai's friends during his lifetime, and check every place Lu Xiucai had been to after leaving the Jiangnan Lu family, and all the witnesses along the way.

Find out whether Bai gave birth to Lu Bozhou and the exact time of birth.

Find all the witnesses and evidence!

Welcome the prince back to the palace openly.

then……

Prince Jin turned his head and looked towards the direction of the imperial city.

"Brother Emperor..."

I don’t know what the King of Jin was thinking of.

Slowly lower your head.

After Li Jinglan came back, Lu Zhongyu complained to Li Jinglan: "Taoist Wu You is asking about my brother. I feel he has bad intentions."

Li Jinglan was surprised.

Lu Zhongyu actually realized the intention of King Jin?

not simple!

In her previous life, she thought Lawrence Lu was very smart, but now Lawrence Lu is too smart.

Somewhat more clever than she had expected.

Li Jinglan asked him, "How do you know he is investigating your brother?"

Lu Zhongyu repeated the words of the King of Jin: "Although I don't know the purpose of his asking these questions, I felt that something was wrong. So I made an excuse that I was young at the time and didn't remember anything."

What this means is that Lu Zhongyu remembers everything?

Li Jinglan pondered and asked, "Then what do you remember?"

Lu Zhongyu lowered his head. The memories of the past made him very uneasy. He said in a very light voice: "Mom committed suicide."

"Before she left, she hugged me and my sister and said she was sorry to us."

"She said her father was her life and hope, her connection and memory to the past."

"With her father gone, she can't live alone in this world."

"Later she said that if you miss her, you can go to her grave to see her."

"And you said that my father had already arranged it before he died..."

When Lu Zhongyu said this, his body began to tremble violently.

He clenched his fists and growled, "How can it be arranged? As soon as they left, Lu Xuande's family moved into the house under the pretext of funeral arrangements."

"They forced my brother to live in a hut by the tomb and observe mourning for three years... Then, they held my sister and I hostage in the house."

As Lu Zhongyu spoke, he burst into tears: "She doesn't want us anymore! She doesn't want us anymore!"

It turns out that Lu Zhongyu knows everything.

It turned out that he witnessed his biological mother committing suicide.

Li Jinglan felt sad and took Lu Zhongyu into her arms.

"You have me, your brother, and Xiao Yu'er now. Let's live a good life, and we will definitely be fine in the future."

Lu Zhongyu grabbed Li Jinglan's arm and cried so hard that his whole body trembled.

He would never forget that scene.

His mother walked towards the mourning hall hung with white silk, left him and his sister behind, and followed his father.

That year, he was only three years old.

Then he understood something that he shouldn't have understood at his age: heartbreak.

He knew that he no longer had anyone he could rely on in this world.

"Zhongyu, I'm sorry, mom can't live without your dad."

Five years have passed.

This voice has been lingering in my ears.

Tell him all the time.

The three siblings are the ones whose mother doesn’t want them!

A motherless child.

Life is as cheap as grass!

If there is reincarnation in life.

If he could go back to that day, he would tell his mother: You don't want us, and we don't want you either.

Instead of standing outside the mourning hall, banging on the door, and crying and begging the mother inside not to commit suicide.

"Mother drugged my brother and made him fall asleep."

"Lu Xuande's family accused my brother of sleeping too soundly and forced him to live in a hut and observe mourning for three years to atone for his sins."

Lawrence Lu took a breath and said, “My brother has always blamed himself. If he hadn’t slept too deeply back then, he would have been able to save mother.”

Li Jinglan wiped the tears from his cheeks and asked softly, "Does your brother know that he was drugged?"

Lu Zhongyu replied: "I told him later."

He took the handkerchief handed to him by Li Jinglan and wiped his tears.

"One day he had a high fever and I heard him talking nonsense. He said he didn't want to live anymore, but he couldn't abandon me and my sister, so he gritted his teeth and lived on."

"He said we were abandoned once and he couldn't abandon his brothers and sisters again."

But he still abandoned you in his previous life.

and so.

Didn’t you refuse to recognize him in your previous life?

Li Jinglan looked at Lu Zhongyu, feeling indescribably sad.
