Everything that happened this morning seemed a little weird, and the more Lu Xinran thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Ever since they went to Aunt Wang's courtyard, both their grandmother and the sisters have been acting strangely.

And the old scumbag too, just now he was kneeling down and slapping himself in the face, looking like the sky is falling.

He is not...his brain has been kicked by a donkey again!

Listening to her inner voice, Lu Xinlan sighed with amusement, "Maybe they suddenly discovered some long-lost secrets, and they all couldn't bear it."

"Long time? How long?"

"About thirty years ago?"

Lu Xinlan probed with a hint of guidance.

But it's too strange to have someone hear my inner voice.

Lu Xinran was obviously inexperienced and had not read enough novels before traveling through time. He did not think at all that his inner voice would be broadcast live simultaneously when he was flipping through the melon-eating system.

Although I felt something was odd, I still sighed with regret.

"Why is it such a coincidence today? Wherever we go, grandpa will be there."

This made his grandmother sad and disappointed when she saw him, and they no longer had a lively lunch together.

Listening to her regret, Lu Xinlan thought of the scene of her lying alone on the hospital bed in her previous life, and couldn't help but say something.

"Let Bi Tao go to the kitchen to order some food. You can come to my room to eat at noon, okay?"

"May I?"

Lu Xinran, who seemed a little lost just now, instantly became energetic again.

"I want to eat roast meat and chicken pot."

"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it."

As soon as the two sisters arrived at Lu Xinlan's yard, the nanny beside Zhao came over with a smile.

"My dear, Madam has prepared a lot of your favorite food and wants to invite you over for lunch."

"My mother-in-law is ill. As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't she go and take care of her? How come she doesn't have the self-awareness that a daughter-in-law should have?"

How could a servant like her casually comment on the right and wrong of her master? The nanny who came to deliver the message laughed dryly, sweat already oozing out of her forehead.

Lu Xinlan pulled her in and sat her down, then turned around and said to the nanny, "Sister is here with me, so you don't have to go to mother for lunch. Nanny, go back and tell mother that I'll go see her later."

She had already brought the man back to her own yard, and it was impossible for her to abandon him and leave just because Zhao came to look for her.

Lu Xinran held the tea bowl and took a sip with a satisfied smile.

[Zhao is stupid and foolish. I don't know what he is thinking. Maybe he is deliberately trying to embarrass me. He is stupid and mean.]

Listening to her thoughts, Lu Xinlan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although Zhao's actions lacked some rules and regulations, she repeatedly showed that she did not like her own daughter.

But after all that has happened, there shouldn't be any need to be angry with her.

The reason he called her over was probably to ask what happened throughout the morning.

As she expected, she didn't go to Zhao's house and ran here on her own.

When they saw Lu Xinran after entering the room, the mother and daughter rolled their eyes at each other.

[Do you understand first come first served? I came here first! If she had known better, she should have waited until I went back before coming here. ]

[But she is stupid, foolish and self-righteous, so we can't expect her to understand these things. ]

[You are not good enough, and I don't know where you get the nerve and confidence to look down on me. 】

Zhao had almost finished rolling her eyes when she heard this series of urgent and dense voices.

She was so angry that she wanted to go up to her and pull her mouth, but she was afraid that it would prove her words "I'm not that great"!

Lu Xinlan had a headache watching the two of them fighting like elementary school kids, and walked forward to separate them with her body.

"Why did mother come here in person? But Mammy didn't tell her everything?"

There was only one place to sit in the room, at the table. While she was hesitating, Zhao had already sat down opposite Lu Xinran and poured herself a bowl of tea.

She waved her hand to signal all the servants in the room to leave, and then lowered her voice and asked curiously, "Did you go to Aunt Wang's place this morning? What happened? Why did your grandfather seal Aunt Wang's yard as soon as you left?"

It sounds nice to say that it has been sealed off, but in reality it is just locking people up in there and leaving them to fend for themselves.

"It's not right that he didn't return the treasure before. When he heard that you went to Aunt Wang's courtyard, he hurried back. As a result, he turned hostile as soon as you left."

Zhao was so curious that she was scratching her head.

If it weren't for the fact that it was really against etiquette for her as a daughter-in-law to visit her father-in-law's aunt, she would definitely have gone with him today.

Lu Xinran's eyes also lit up, wanting to hear what she had to say.

Lu Xinlan had a headache and tried to speak in a language that would not be muted.

"It was discovered that Aunt Wang had an affair with someone before she entered the mansion, and Grandfather also found out about it by chance. After we left, I don't know what Grandfather said to Aunt Wang, but he sealed her yard."

"Did you find out that she was having an affair? Or before she entered the mansion?"

Zhao was instantly excited, and her hands holding the handkerchief were shaking slightly.

"How did you find out? Aunt Wang is so thoughtful, how could you find out..."

As she was speaking, she realized something was wrong. She turned around and looked at Lu Xinran, who was looking forward to what would happen next, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

She paused again and again, then turned her eyes away from her and asked again.

"Where is Aunt Jin?"

Why is that one locked up too?

Lu Xinlan said briefly: "My fourth uncle was bought from the countryside by her. He is not my grandfather's child."

Zhao: “?!!”

What a shocking piece of news!

How could she discover something so secretive and that happened so many years ago?

Zhao's heart suddenly swelled. When she was five years old, her gentle and beautiful mother suddenly fell ill and passed away within half a month.

Only half a year after his mother passed away, his father married a second wife.

Less than seven months after my stepmother got married, she gave birth to the eldest son in the family.

She had never doubted these things before, but after hearing one bizarre story after another recently, she couldn't help but wonder if there was any other hidden story behind her mother's death.

Lu Xinran waited for a long time but received no detailed explanation. She only heard what she had seen in the system before.

She curled her lips in disappointment, picked up the tea bowl, and glanced at Zhao, whose eyes were red and staring at her with burning eyes.

[Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't say anything or do anything just now.]

[I don't know how many days of life these two aunts' big melons added to my life. ]

Thinking of this, she called out to the system, and the system hummed coyly, "Seven days in total."

"Why are there so few? Such a hot old melon is so worthless?"

"How about you go to the Dali Temple with your fellow villager more often? She does trace identification and evidence collection, and we use melon eating to improve the logic and evidence chain, isn't that just right?"

Tong Yin cautiously tested her reaction. Lu Xinran sighed. It seemed that if she wanted to survive, she had to shamelessly get closer to Tang Quyan.

I hope his wife Liu won't think too much...
