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

In the evening, Manager Tian brought Lu Rulian's words to Lu Zhaoling.

At this time, Zhou Shiyue had already returned to the palace.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it and decided to go see Lu Rulian.

She wanted to ask what kind of person Lu Shui’s second husband was.

Although they were the ones who found the porcelain mannequin, they did not hand it to her, otherwise it would not have been placed in such a small coffin.

She went to Cui's house and asked Ma Xiaoliu to call Lu Rulian out alone.

Lu Rulian had been waiting, coming out from time to time to take a look, and was actually seen by Ma Xiaoliu.

She found an excuse to slip out and followed Ma Xiaoliu to Cui's house.

Now the front hall has been finished and with the lights on, it looks much more grand than before.

Lu Zhaoling sat there, holding a cup of tea, gently flicking the tea leaves with the lid, while Qingyin and Qingbao stood beside her with their hands hanging down.

The warm yellow candlelight and the curling smoke from hot tea made Lu Zhaoling's face look like flowers shrouded in mist, beautiful with a hint of fairy spirit.

Lu Rulian couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw Lu Zhaoling like this.

In the past, she had been jealous of Lu Zhaoling because she was her second uncle's daughter, so in terms of status, Lu Zhaoling was also the daughter of an official in the capital, and would return to the capital sooner or later.

But she was different. She was the daughter of a country man, and was secretly born to her parents before they got married.

This identity has always made her feel inferior and unable to hold her head up.

But this time when she came to the capital and saw the situation of her second uncle's family, she was a little scared.

In the capital, a minor official like the Second Uncle is really nothing. Moreover, the King of Jin, to whom Lu Zhaoling had clung, could really crush them to death at will.

The sword of extermination for all nine generations of the family was already hanging over their heads, yet the people of the old Lu family were still confused. Lu Rulian felt that she had to figure it out.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Lu Rulian.

"You got something to tell me?"

As soon as her voice rang out, Lu Rulian knelt down in front of her.

Before Lu Zhaoling could react, Lu Rulian kowtowed to her three times quickly and loudly.

Lu Zhaoling: “…”

What's wrong?

"Zhao Ling, I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry! I treated you badly in the past because I'm just a country girl, an ignorant, mean-spirited, and uneducated girl. Please don't take it personally."

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to evaluate each other.

Every one of the people in the Lu family is really speechless, and each of them has their own style.

This Lu Rulian, she scolded herself first when she came? No, she scolded her family members too.

Because he said he was uneducated.

"Get up."

Lu Zhaoling held her forehead with her hand. She was not very interested in talking to someone who was kneeling in front of her.

"Zhao Ling, can you forgive me?"

Lu Rulian didn't want to get up just like that. She had already knelt and kowtowed. She had gritted her teeth and made up her mind. She kowtowed three times very hard, but there was no compromise. Now she had a headache on her forehead and felt a little dizzy.

After arriving in the capital, the food was not as good as in the countryside, and the sleeping quarters were quite crowded. Lu Zhaohua, the concubine's daughter, who used to call them Sister Rulian, had become arrogant now, always mocking them, and her attitude towards them was getting worse and worse.

Lu Zhaoyue was devastated because her own mother became a slave. She would get angry at the slightest thing and would go crazy.

It's terrible, really terrible.

As a result, Lu Rulian didn't eat well or rest well.

"Zhao Ling, I really know I was wrong. After coming to the capital, I also know how vicious we were before. I really won't do that again in the future. From now on, I will listen to you. Can you forgive me?"

Lu Rulian's eyes were red.

Lu Zhaoling snorted and said directly, "I can't forgive you at all."

Lu Rulian looked at her in surprise.

No, she has already been like this, can't we forgive her? Forgiving half of her is fine.

"You know you're wrong now, and you won't do that again. This is different from the fact that you bullied me before."

Lu Zhaoling said sarcastically, "You don't think that if you come and admit your mistakes, I will write it off, right?"

I really treat her as a gentle and lovely little girl.

She is not.

"Zhao Ling, what do you want me to do in order for you to forgive me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Tell me what you want to say. If it's nothing important, you can leave now."

Looking at her like this, Lu Rulian suddenly understood.

Lu Zhaoling had changed more than she thought; her personality was completely different.

She lowered her head, sniffed, and then slowly got up.

"If you don't like me kneeling, I won't kneel, but I sincerely admitted my mistake and apologized just now."

Lu Zhaoling didn't say anything, so she paused and continued.

"Besides coming here to apologize, I have two other things to tell you. One is that my aunt dug up your porcelain figurine and originally wanted us to bring it to Second Uncle."

She actually brought up this matter on her own initiative? Lu Zhaoling raised her eyebrows, waiting for her to continue.

"But we encountered bandits on the road. It was very dangerous. We were lucky to escape. We didn't care about the things we brought with us. We lost all our bags and luggage. We were in a very bad state while running for our lives. We almost lost our shoes."

"So, the porcelain figurine was naturally lost. After Second Uncle found out, he scolded my father severely. He also said that he would rather my father get beaten than lose the thing. I saw him glare at my grandfather. I guess he scolded my grandfather in his heart."

It turns out it was really lost.

"Do you know who the bandits are?" she asked.

Lu Rulian shook her head. "I don't know. We were all so scared at the time that we just ran for our lives. I took a look and saw that not all of them were wearing black clothes. There were all kinds of clothes, and their faces were covered with mud and grass. I didn't know where they came from. There were probably about ten people. But they weren't that powerful. They couldn't even outrun us, so we didn't catch up."

So they all escaped like this, but all their belongings were lost.

Lu Zhaoling sneered inwardly.

Need I say more? It's obvious, right? Those people came here just for the porcelain man.

They snatched the porcelain figurine from the old Lu family, and then sent someone to bury her in Huaiyuan in the middle of the night.

If they were coming for the porcelain man, then they must be very clear about the whereabouts of the Lu family, which is why they ambushed them on the road they must pass.

This person is most likely Sheng Wei, the person that Lu Shui, the aunt of the Lu family, remarried.

Sheng Wei, Sheng Wang.

If you say it doesn't matter, why doesn't she believe it at all?

And Sheng Wang just happened to be dead, was he trying to silence him?

"What kind of person do you think your new uncle is?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Lu Rulian didn't think much of it. "He's a fool."

"Ok?"

"Isn't it? What's the situation in our family? My aunt has been married before, but he is still willing to marry her."
