The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Hu Xiaoxing is a pretty girl.

Qingyin inquired very carefully, and helped Lu Zhaoling walk into the alley, while whispering to her about Hu Xiaoxing.

"The people in the kitchen know a lot. They said that Hu Xiaoxing has been proud since she was a child. She didn't want to be a servant like her father and brother. She also felt that the Lu family was not high enough to give her a status. So when she was about ten years old, Butler Hu begged Lord Lu to change her status to a good family, let her live here, and raised her as an ordinary girl."

Lu Zhaoling didn't think this idea was wrong. If Hu Xiaoxing was pursuing progress and didn't want to be a maid, she would look up to her.

"It seems that Butler Hu still loves his daughter." She affirmed.

"I heard that it was because Hu Xiaoxing was already pretty when she was eight or nine years old, and housekeeper Hu thought that if she was raised well, she could at least become a concubine in a wealthy family, so he agreed." Qingyin said.

This is what the cooks said. They had great doubts about whether Butler Hu really loved his daughter. They thought he just thought that if Hu Xiaoxing was well trained, she would be a cash cow in the future and if she married well, she might even be able to help her brother Hu Dali in the future.

Lu Zhaoling was speechless after hearing this. She had overestimated Butler Hu's awareness and conscience.

"Miss, that's the one."

Qingyin pointed to a house in front.

The front door was painted dark blue, with a painting of a door god pasted on it and a plaque with the words "Hu's House" hung on it. A mulberry tree was planted not far from the door.

The mulberry leaves are green now.

Lu Zhaoling rarely saw people planting mulberry trees in front of the main gate.

Just as they were about to step forward, the door opened and someone was pushed out, followed by a bundle.

There were people swearing inside.

"Get out of here right now. This is my home. Do you really think it belongs to you? If I ask you to do something so small that you can't even do it, what's the point of keeping you here?"

The one who was pushed out was a young girl with a slender figure and wearing a light blue cloth skirt.

She almost fell to the ground. After steadying herself, she picked up the bag and held it in her arms, then shouted to the person inside the door.

"You call that a small matter? You call that wishful thinking. You call that daydreaming! These days you've been eating, drinking, sleeping, and howling that your hand is going to be crippled like a piece of trash. I serve you every day, cook for you, and wash your clothes, but that's not enough. You actually asked me to do that kind of thing! I'll tell our father!"

When the girl started to curse, her little mouth chattered loudly, and her manner was just as strong as that of a man.

Qing Yin took a look and whispered to Lu Zhaoling, "Miss, this should be Hu Xiaoxing."

The person who pushed her out should be Hu Dali.

Hu Dali didn’t return to the Lu family after his hand hurt.

Unexpectedly, I happened to see them quarreling.

Lu Zhaoling's eyes fell on a hairpin on Hu Xiaoxing's head.

It was a green jade hairpin, shining brightly in the sunlight.

But in Lu Zhaoling's eyes, the hairpin was also entangled with black death and resentment.

She frowned and glanced at the jade bracelet that Qingyin had already put on her wrist.

The jade color and texture of the hairpin on Hu Xiaoxing's head look very similar to this bracelet.

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

After this trip, I found another person who was related to the Liu family's Qiangong Lantern. Even if Hu Xiaoxing had nothing to do with the lantern, the hairpin could be traced back to its origin and its owner could be found.

After seeing the hairpin, Lu Zhaoling was too lazy to pay attention to Hu Dali and she diverted her attention.

Over there, Hu Xiaoxing and Hu Dali started arguing again.

The neighbors opened their doors, some stood inside, and some came out directly to watch the fun.

A woman holding a child saw Lu Zhaoling and Qing Yin, and her eyes lit up.

"Oh, where did this lady come from? She is so pretty!"

The child in her arms was about two years old, with a little gray under his eyes, soft and yellow hair, and was sucking his fingers, looking at her curiously.

The Hu Xiaoxing siblings quarreled louder and louder, and everyone else's attention was drawn to them.

The woman saw Lu Zhaoling and Qing Yin because they were closest to her door, so she saw them as soon as she opened the door.

Lu Zhaoling looked at the child and smiled slightly, "Sister-in-law, is this your child?"

"Yes, yes, my dog ​​is leftover."

The woman was a little embarrassed when she said this. "We are a poor family and don't care about things. I was pregnant with two babies before, but one died before she was a year old, and the other died while still in my belly. I finally recovered and took a lot of medicine to have this third child. I asked the Taoist priest, and he said to give her a humble name so that she can be raised..."

Qingyin held Lu Zhaoling tightly and wanted to walk away a few steps.

Are the people here so friendly and sociable?

The young lady didn't even ask a single question, yet the woman actually said so much.

Qingyin was afraid that Lu Zhaoling didn't want to listen to so many things from the other party, and what the woman said was somewhat unlucky. Qingyin was also worried that Lu Zhaoling would feel uncomfortable after listening to it.

What if the young lady is afraid of having children in the future?

She was a little scared when she heard it.

"fine."

Lu Zhaoling patted the back of her hand lightly and walked towards the woman.

"My sister-in-law and I seem to have some affinity. Can you see the child?"

Lu Zhaoling stood in front of her, looking at the child intently.

The child actually reached out his hand to her and said, "Hug me."

The woman was surprised and quickly pressed his hand down.

"Be good, Gousheng, just let your mother hold you."

She looked at Lu Zhaoling in surprise again, "My dog ​​Sheng won't even let his grandparents hold him. He sticks to me all day and even cries when he sees strangers. How come he wants you to hold him?"

This is really strange!

She seemed to have thought of something. "Oh, my Gousheng is just a scoundrel, right?"

Seeing that this girl in front of you is particularly pretty, do you want her to hug you?

If that's the case, he'd have to be taught a lesson sooner or later!

"Miss......"

Qingyin wanted to stop Lu Zhaoling.

Listen to what this woman is saying. People here are all weird.

"It's okay, maybe it's because I look more friendly." Lu Zhaoling stretched out her hand and gently touched the child's head.

There was a thin layer of sickness on the child's head, which was easily dispersed by her hand.

"Here is a talisman that can ward off diseases and keep children safe and healthy. Would you like to buy it, sister-in-law? It's only ten cents." Lu Zhaoling took out a talisman and handed it over.

The woman was originally very happy to see that Lu Zhaoling, such a beautiful and noble girl, was willing to be so close to her child. But when she saw her suddenly take out the talisman and ask for money, she immediately hugged the child tightly and took two steps back vigilantly.

"What's wrong with you, girl? You are so beautiful, but you do such a deceitful thing?"

Qingyin was even more confused than her.

Ten cents?

When did the lady's talismans become so cheap!

It’s so cheap, but the other party doesn’t want it!

"Your child has been in contact with evil objects for a long time and is weak and sickly..." Lu Zhaoling was about to explain.
