Chapter 537
He first asked the two of them nonchalantly what they were talking about. It is said that when they were talking about food, he smiled and said: "It is not easy to eat Buddha Jumping Wall? Swallow wings, abalone belly ginseng, everything is ready-made. By the way, I remembered Yesterday, I rushed to deliver some fruits of various colors that can only be found in the south, so I guarantee you haven’t eaten them.”

When Su Qinghuan heard that it was a southern fruit, she smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm really not convinced when you say that, I must see and see."

Just kidding, durian mangosteen jackfruit, Sakyamuni mango and dragon fruit, and what else has she never eaten?

Zhou Ji said: "Then let's have a look. If nothing else, you must have never eaten civet fruit."

This name is unfamiliar, Su Qinghuan said: "Maybe I have seen it before, but I have never heard of it! Take a look and you will know."

Zhou Lanxue frowned, and said angrily, "Master, you're playing tricks again. Qing Huan, don't bother with your little uncle. That civet cat has a scent in its name, but it actually stinks."

Su Qinghuan immediately realized that this was probably durian, and asked tentatively, "It smells bad, but tastes good?"

"That's what the locals say..." Zhou Ji said, "Hey, how do you know? Impossible, I've never seen a person from the Central Plains before. Do you want to be stinky tofu? Don't say it, it's pretty much the same."

Speaking of eating, Su Qinghuan became interested, and said firmly: "If I guess correctly, this civet fruit is yellow, and the outer shell is like a wolf-sheep stick, and it will crack when it is ripe. Little uncle, what I said Right?"

Thinking of the sweet taste of durian, her mouth is almost drooling.

Zhou Lanxue looked at Su Qinghuan in surprise: "You really have seen it!"

Su Qinghuan nodded: "Not only have I seen it, but I also like it very much."

Zhou Ji laughed and said, "Heming's daughter-in-law is really knowledgeable. Go for a walk, I'll take you to have a look. If you really like it, I'll give it to you. Lan Xue, you can't stand the smell, don't smoke it." Children, rest in the house and don't go, we will come as soon as we go."

Zhou Lanxue didn't notice anything unusual, so she nodded in agreement.

Su Qinghuan sensitively felt that something was wrong.

If she likes it, Zhou Ji can have someone deliver durians to her room, but it seems that he...is trying to separate Zhou Lanxue?
Could it be that he wants to tell himself something?
He is Lu Qi's little uncle, he is very kind to Lu Qi, and has no reason to harm her, so Su Qinghuan agreed after a moment of pondering.

Zhou Ji took Su Qinghuan out, and Su Qinghuan followed Bai Su and Bai Zhi.

When he led her to a secluded place in the garden, Su Qinghuan finally couldn't help but say, "Little uncle, just talk here if you have anything to say. I'm a little tired after walking so far."

Zhou Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at her with some surprise and approval and said, "You see it?"

Su Qinghuan nodded slightly, explained her reasons, and then said, "Does little uncle want to ask me about little aunt?"

Besides, she couldn't think of what Zhou Ji wanted to say to her alone.

"No, it's about Heming."

Su Qinghuan was stunned, looked at him with slightly parted lips, paused for a moment and said: "Please tell me—"

There are many thoughts churning in her mind, Zhou Ji is Lu Qi's elder, does she want to teach herself something?

"Heming's mother is my fifth sister, and also my only sister from the same mother." Zhou Ji stood with his hands behind his back, looking up into the distance slightly.

The setting sun was setting like a big red ball hanging on the top of the mountain, dyeing half of the sky red.

His voice was slightly cold, and his eyes were wistful and sad.

"My mother, that is, Heming's grandmother, passed away not long after giving birth to me, so I was brought up by my fifth sister. Later, she married into the Marquis of Changping, and I ran after the sedan chair, crying and crying. Shout, I want her to come back. I was ten years old that year... Later I often couldn't help thinking, children are spiritual. At that time, I had already discovered the divine will in the dark, knowing that Fifth Sister walked Is it a road of no return?"

Su Qinghuan watched the tears glistening in his eyes, with a look of emotion on his face.

"But even though I was young at that time, I knew that Fifth Sister really liked that bastard, and she married into the Marquis Mansion with a smile." The sadness in Zhou Ji's eyes gradually turned into resentment, "But after I got married, I went to see her, I knew she was not doing well. She kept smiling at me and telling me that she was doing well, but I could tell at a glance that she was lying. It was also from then on that I felt that I wanted to be her reliance."

"After four or five years of marriage, she finally became pregnant. At that time, I had grown up, and it was not easy to see her. I went to see her when she was seven or eight months pregnant. At that time, she stroked her belly and described it to me. The sight of Heming moving in her stomach filled her eyes with the joy of being a mother. She told me that life would be easier after having a child, and it would not be so painful."

"When the crane was singing and the moon was full, I went to congratulate him with gifts, but found that Marquis Changping was still fooling around outside and didn't come home at all. I was so angry that I wanted to beat him up, but Fifth Sister pulled me and said let him go, she I have given up on him, and I only pin all my hopes on He Ming, and I will raise him well in the future, so I will have no regrets in this life."

"Later, I was worried and went to see her a few times. Her condition was getting better and better. Although she took care of Heming by herself, the smiles on her face became more and more. I was finally relieved and went out of Beijing according to the arrangement of my family. I worship great Confucianism as my teacher, and stayed outside for nearly two years before returning to Beijing."

"But on the day I went back, my family told me that Fifth Sister was gone, she committed suicide, and she was going to be buried soon." Zhou Ji's eyes were full of pain and hatred, "I still remember that before leaving Beijing, she pulled Hold my hand, asking me to respect my teacher and study hard; told me that Heming grew up a bit, would look at her and smile, clap her hands, and stuff things into her mouth by herself... I don’t understand , why would she choose a dead end? Why would she be willing to leave Heming to the stepmother?"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe that my good fifth sister is separated from me forever? At that time, I was ignorant and fearless. I took a few brothers who were good at playing, found a job, and sneaked into the Marquis of Changping. The shabby households in the Changping Hou Mansion were so poor that they had to rely on women’s dowry to survive more than [-] years ago, and there were not many nursing homes in the mansion, so we arrived at the mourning hall unimpeded.”

"I've never seen such a shabby mourning hall. Even if our Lu family died in charge, it would definitely be more than that. Not only that, before the fifth sister's death, there was not a single guardian, not a single one! She just lay there alone. In the coffin..."

Although after more than twenty years, Zhou Ji brought up the past again, still full of grief and indignation.

"I saw Fifth Sister's remains. She was lying there, motionless, her face was blue and her body was stiff. There was a long strangle mark under her neck, but the author said that she was strangled after she died of poisoning. neck……"
