Lu Lingjun heard about what happened in Xiaoheyuan, and Du Ruo cried for half the night yesterday.
In the early morning, Du Ruo came to her with red eyes that had not faded and said that he wanted to go back to his parents' house to stay for a while.
Lu Lingjun nodded in agreement, and when Du Ruo left her yard, there was a sudden sense of familiarity in her back.
"Why do I feel that Aunt Du looks a little pitiful when she looks like this?" Xiaowei said while holding the fruit.
"What a pity! Have you forgotten how arrogant she was before? Even our mistress doesn't take her seriously, and she always bullies Aunt Qiu and Aunt Ling in the backyard."
"No, when she was favored by the prince, she didn't dare to do anything, and the fuss made the world go crazy. If you ask me, she deserves it!"
"Don't tell me, she has such a temper. She dared to take a knife and commit suicide yesterday!"
"She's just crazy."
A few people were chattering, and Chun Xing walked out of the room, "If you ask me, it's better to rely on the prince to pamper her. You can't tell which aunt is like her!"
She raised her eyebrows with disdain.
This is the Hou Mansion, an era of strict rules, and the power given to women is pitiful.
As an aunt, you have to be cautious and make a living under the careful hands of your mistress and master.
Du Ruo can make such a fuss because he is favored.
I can never see clearly the reality or my own identity and status, and I always look forward to ethereal things.
When she gains power, she becomes arrogant and wants everyone to see her glory.
Now that he has fallen out of favor, he deserves to be scolded.
Lu Lingjun sighed softly as she listened to the discussions of the people below.
"I'll send something to Du Ruo's aunt later. When my aunt comes back, I'll send this snuff bottle to her as well."
Lu Lingjun gave Du Ruo some face and told her not to look so ugly when she went back.
As long as there is no conflict of interest with her, she is willing to give some benefits. Life is not easy for women in this era. She already holds a high position and is not willing to make things difficult for them anymore.
After Lu Lingjun finished speaking, Chun Xing came over and agreed, "Yes, young lady."
Only then did she realize that she hadn't seen any frost all morning.
Not only did I not see it this morning, but I often didn’t see it in the past few days.
"Where's Shuanghong?"
"Sister Shuanghong has been busy these days!" Xiaowei snickered in the yard.
"What is she busy with?"
"Busy drinking tea!"
Lu Lingjun frowned slightly, puzzled, "Where are we going to have tea?"
"Captain Qian invited her to tea several times in the past few days!"
At this time, a coquettish and shy voice sounded outside the hospital, "What nonsense are you talkative little girls talking about!"
Shuanghong's ears were red, and she ran in quickly, "Young madam, don't listen to their nonsense! I didn't go to drink tea."
Lu Lingjun: "..."
Seeing Shuanghong's hurried look, she smiled and teased, "Then what are you busy with these days?"
Shuang Hong came to Lu Lingjun and bowed and explained, "Young madam, there are people coming from my hometown, and I'm settling them in these few days."
"Your old family?"
Lu Lingjun was instantly attacked by a wave of old memories, and a feeling of disgust and resistance came from the bottom of his heart.
Shuanghong didn't notice the change in Lu Lingjun's expression. She said with joy on her face, "Yes!"
"My sister came here first. I have been looking for a place for them these days. My sister heard that I am now working as an errand in the Hou Mansion. She really wants to come to the Hou Mansion to have a look. Young Madam, I am bold today. , brought her here, can you ask her to come in and take a look?"
Shuanghong looked at Lu Lingyun expectantly. As she was talking, a voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Sister, can I come in?"
With that said, a little girl wearing coarse linen clothes and a hairpin walked to the door of the courtyard, staring inside with curious eyes.
Lu Lingjun looked at the face that was exactly the same as in the previous life, and memories came flooding back to him.
Apart from Zhiran, Shuanghong was the girl she felt most at ease with. In her previous life, she had guarded her conscientiously all her life, blocking her from disaster after disaster. When she had a difficult delivery in the Li family, she cried and begged Li on a rainy day. Her family kept her safe. Later, when she encountered several crises in Jiangnan, Shuanghong was extremely reliable and trustworthy to help her tide over the difficulties. Even more so when she had no money, Shuanghong sold embroidered handkerchiefs day and night. Give her money to subsidize her.
She trusted and loved Shuanghong the whole time, and wanted to make Shuanghong live a better life, but Shuanghong never married in her last life, and she was harmed by her good sister and her family!
Shuanghong was sold by her family since she was a child. It is said that it was because her father owed a lot of gambling debts and wanted to sell both daughters. Her mother tried her best to take her and her sister to escape, but she was still beaten by her. The evil grandma discovered that at the critical moment, Shuanghong stood up and covered her mother and sister, telling them to escape.
Afterwards, she was sold alone by her family, and the whereabouts of her mother and sister are unknown.
In the last life, when Lu Lingjun was in Jiangnan, her sister came here looking for her, but she didn't come alone, she came with her father, her grandmother, and her younger brother.
That group of people used Shuanghong to sell her into a wealthy family as a maid, and they kept demanding more from her. Shuanghong originally hated her father and mother's family, but her sister was actually close to them.
Shuanghong felt very sorry for her sister, so she was manipulated hard by her sister, who kept giving her money to their family.
When Lu Lingjun found out in her last life, Shuanghong had been sucked clean, and the family came over with licking their faces and begged Lu Lingjun to let Shuanghong go home and let her get married.
Lu Lingjun had originally planned to let her get married, but she couldn't trust that group of people, so she went privately to investigate the family her parents had found for her.
Where is the good family?
Her father and mother collected a large amount of money early and sold her again!
That family is even more of an old gambling dog who beats women!
His last wife made him pay for the dowry, beat her and scolded her every day, and finally sold her into a brothel!
When Lu Lingjun found out, he was so angry that he called Shuanghong to let her see everything clearly. Shuanghong was so angry that she became seriously ill.
Lu Lingjun clung to Shuang Hong's contract of prostitution and drove away all of Shuang Hong's family members. The group of people even spread rumors in Jiangnan that she abused her servants and refused to let them get married.
Later, when Shuanghong found out that they were spreading rumors, she completely broke up with them, and even swore in public that she would never marry in order to restore Lu Lingyun's reputation.
Lu Lingjun didn't want Shuanghong to waste her whole life like this. She tried several times to find a good family for her, but Shuanghong refused.
Lu Lingjun really didn't expect that in this life, she would meet Shuanghong's family members.
And it’s still more than a year earlier than in the previous life.
She looked at the innocent little girl in front of her walking in, as if she had figured something out.
She had come here more than a year in advance. Seeing her like this, she had clearly found out where Shuanghong had been sold. The whole family was looking for her in the west, just for Shuanghong!
