If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Lu Yaoyao was taken by her maid to fly a kite, while Shen Suian and Ruan were chatting in the pavilion while watching the children not far away.

They didn't mention Lu Heng again. This person was really not worth mentioning.

Shen Sui'an thought that if Lu Heng disgusted her like this from time to time, Guangning might get crazy with her again.

We have to find a permanent solution.

Ruan talked about Nuanniang.

"My uncle was a salt transport inspector. When he passed through Tongzhou, a salt merchant gave him a woman. She was a very famous prostitute in Tongzhou at that time. Her name was Rounuan. Although my uncle did not accept her, he went to the brothel to look for her for half a month."

Shen Suian sat up straight. Could this Rounuan be the Nuan Niang that Lu Yuan mentioned?

Ruan gave Shen Sui'an a meaningful look.

"My uncle did not redeem Rounuan. After he left the brothel, the madam forced her to entertain customers. Later, she fell ill. Her former patron paid for her redemption, and Rounuan disappeared afterwards."

"Everyone said she had a dirty disease."

Shen Sui'an's expression changed, remembering that Uncle Lu always looked disgusted every time he mentioned Lu Yuan's biological mother. He wished that this person had never existed.

"Sui Sui, this Rou Nuan can't be Lu Yuan's biological mother." Ruan said in a low voice.

"Ah?" Shen Suian's heart, which had been raised in mid-air, stopped again.

"Rou Nuan died twenty years ago, and she never gave birth to any children. The woman accompanying Lu Yuan couldn't be her," said Ruan.

Shen Sui'an: "Who is that?"

Ruan took a deep breath and said, "We need to continue investigating. I will tell you when I have any news."

"Okay." Shen Sui'an's throat was dry, so she took a big gulp of tea.

in case……

If that brothel girl wasn't Lu Yuan's biological mother, then who could she be?

Because only this can explain why Lu Chushen hates that woman so much.

A sick brothel girl gave birth to his eldest son, and she used some unknown method to make Lu Chushen unable to deny it, so he had to accept it with a pinch of his nose.

He must have thought about destroying Lu Yuan's existence, but Lu Yuan was lucky enough to survive.

But Third Aunt said Rounuan was not Lu Yuan’s biological mother.

What is the answer then?

Shen Sui'an's thoughts were in a tizzy.

Someone used Rou Nuan's identity to make Lu Chushen take Lu Yuan back to the Lu family as his own son...

Who could that be? This is not easy. Not only do you have to be familiar with everything that happened between Rou Nuan and Lu Chushen, but you also have to force Lu Chushen to bring the person back to the Lu family to recognize his ancestry.

"Sui Sui, don't mention this to Lu Yuan for now." Ruan said in a deep voice.

Shen Sui'an nodded slightly. She suddenly realized that she was in the garden and looked around quickly.

Ruan smiled and said, "My maids are all on guard, no one will come close to listen to us."

The pavilion has a wide view, and anyone approaching will know about it. It is safer than talking in the house.

"Aunt San, why would my father-in-law be willing to bring Lu Yuan back to the Lu family?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Ruan: "Because she has evidence in Rounuan's hands. If he doesn't recognize Lu Yuan and take him back to the Lu family, the evidence of his embezzlement of salt tax in Tongzhou will also be made public."

"No wonder." Shen Suian sneered.

"The Rou Nuan he met later was no longer the courtesan Rou Nuan, and Lu Yuan was not his son." Ruan said affirmatively.

Shen Sui'an didn't feel any regret at all.

Lu Chushen is not worthy of being Lu Yuan's father.

"Yaoyao, there are butterflies here. You can come over and catch them." The maid's voice suddenly came.

Ruan and Shen Sui'an looked at each other and said, "Someone is coming."

They stopped talking about this topic and started having tea.

The ones who came were Mrs. Lu Da and Mrs. Lu Er.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." Ruan smiled brightly and took the initiative to greet them.

Mrs. Lu glanced at them and said, "The eldest young lady is really interesting. She doesn't serve her mother-in-law well, but instead rushes to find the third brother's wife all day long."

"Third sister-in-law, what on earth do you have that could make someone as noble as the eldest young lady flatter you?"

Ruan smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, then you should reflect on why Sui Sui is not close to you."

Shen Suian covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

"Third brother and sister-in-law, the Lantern Festival is coming. Do you have any plans?" Mrs. Lu suddenly asked.

Ruan: "The Third Master said he would take us to the temple fair."

Mrs. Lu raised her eyebrows, "We wanted you to go out with us."

"What about you?" Mrs. Lu asked Shen Sui'an.

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Madam, I have already made an appointment with Princess Yuanjia."

Mrs. Lu's eyes darkened. "You have been very close to Princess Yuanjia recently."

"We get along well, let's chat more." Shen Sui'an said.

"You are quite good at flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak." Mrs. Lu couldn't stand the fact that Shen Sui'an always associated with nobles.

Ruan said, "Don't say that, sister-in-law. I didn't see Sui Sui step on you."

"..." Mrs. Lu's face froze.

She didn't say she was the short one!

"You still need to discuss the sacrificial offering with the old lady, so let's go." Mrs. Lu said calmly.

After they left, Shen Sui'an and Ruan also separated.

Today, Third Aunt has told her everything she knows, and now all she can do is wait for further news.

Lu Yuan did not come back for two consecutive nights. He sent someone back to tell him that he was busy arranging for the emperor and the imperial concubine to leave the palace and he really could not spare the time, so he simply rested in the Zhenfu Division.

The Lantern Festival is here in a blink of an eye.

The Lantern Festival was the most favorite festival for the people of the Yong Dynasty. There were various temple fairs and lantern fairs. At night, the entire Suzaku Street would be hung with lanterns. The lantern market would shine like pearls, and the colorful flags on the tall poles would flutter in the wind like a forest.

The entire Shangjing City seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​jewels and treasures, dazzling the eyes.

A tall and magnificent lantern stand has been built at the widest part of Zhuque Street. This is the viewing platform where the emperor and his concubine come to enjoy themselves with the people.

"You're right. Feng Shenghua went to find Achun early this morning and asked him to come out to enjoy the lanterns tonight." Feng Yuanjia came to the place where he had agreed to meet with Shen Suian, his face so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"What about Concubine Bai?" Shen Sui'an asked.

Feng Yuanjia: "She and my father went to accompany the emperor and Concubine Yao. They should be over there decorating the lantern stand."

"Don't think too much about it, let's go get rid of all diseases." Shen Sui'an took Feng Yuanjia's hand.

"What should we do about Achun?" Feng Yuanjia looked worriedly at her brother who had been walking calmly beside her.

Before Shen Suian could answer, he heard a surprised voice.

"Sister, brother, it is you indeed." Feng Shenghua came over in surprise, "I saw you over there, and I thought I was seeing things."

Feng Yuanjia smiled wryly, "You have a really good eye. You were able to find us among so many people."

"Brother, please accompany me to guess the riddles. We can listen to them and guess the answers. The winner can get the King of Lanterns." Feng Shenghua pulled Feng Chunhua's sleeve and begged.

Feng Yuanjia wanted to refuse on behalf of Feng Chunhua.

"Okay." Feng Chunhua has agreed.
