Chapter 270 The Big Girl (2)
Seeing his daughter's serious face, Lu Zhongxian also became serious, and said, "Tell me, if I know, I will tell you."

Lu Mingxuan nodded, roughly repeated what Mother Hui said that day, and finally said: "I just want to ask Dad if he knows if my mother's death was really related to the old lady. This question has been tormenting me for more than a month. If Dad knows, please tell me!"

When Lu Zhongxian heard the words, his heart skipped a beat. He should have expected his daughter to be so serious. It would never be a trivial matter to ask him. Neng didn't show it at all, but said with surprise on his face: "How can you believe such foolish words? Your mother died of dystocia back then. What has it to do with the old lady? What's more, since the old lady was able to leave her alone at the beginning If you promise her to me, there is absolutely no reason to take her life after a few years. Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? Letting a maid die quietly and killing a family nephew and wife Any fool knows which one is easier and less risky, do you see that the old lady is such a worthless person?"

He also scolded Hui's mother, "The dog slave who deserves to be cut to pieces, even before he died, he never forgot to stir up trouble, sowed the relationship between you and the old lady, and let her die like that. It's really cheap for her. You should let her survive You can't ask for death!"

Seeing that her father didn't look like he was lying, Lu Mingxuan let out a long breath of relief and said, "I can finally feel at ease after hearing what Daddy said. Daddy doesn't know, but I've been thinking about it these days. This matter, I almost don't know how to face the old lady, now I can finally face her first, and how to face her now."

Lu Zhongxian said with a smile: "You are the same child. What are you thinking about all day long? Then Hui's mother died and the master knew that there was no way for her to survive. Before she died, wouldn't you want to pull someone back? Even a fool would You should know that you can't believe a word of her words, you usually look very smart, why do you really believe her words, this is what the old people often say, 'a lifetime of wisdom, a moment of confusion'?"

Lu Mingxuan was so embarrassed that she stuck out her tongue and said, "If people care about it, they will be confused. When encountering such a thing in the future, I must be more careful, and I will not be easily deceived by others."

Lu Zhongxian nodded and said: "You can think whatever you want, well, the time is not going, you go back and rest, what do you have to say, when you are free tomorrow, we father and son will say the same, and I will It's time to go back to your room to accompany your wife, this time she is not as relaxed as before when Brother Huai'an was a child, the doctor told me to spend more time with her."

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan hurriedly said: "Then daddy will go back to accompany his wife, so I won't delay daddy." After saying that, she bowed her knees and saluted, then quietly exited the flower hall of the main house, and went back to her own room.

The rest, Lu Zhongxian, did not immediately go back to the bedroom to accompany Qi, but looked in the direction of Lu Mingxuan's room, lost in thought.

Just now, he actually lied to Lu Mingxuan. Li Shi's death back then seemed to be an accident on the surface. After all, everyone in the world knows that giving birth to a woman is a hell of a thing, and two or three out of ten puerperas usually die. It's normal, so Li's death didn't make others suspicious, but it doesn't mean that he won't be suspicious, especially if others didn't know, but he knew very well what was in Li's belly at that time. The baby is the same as Lu Mingxuan, it is not his but Lu Zhongyu's!
It turns out that since Li Shi married Lu Zhongxian, she really wanted to live a good life with him at the beginning, but she was pregnant with Lu Mingxuan first, and then she hurt her body because of giving birth to Lu Mingxuan, so she stopped her for nearly a year. Lili's blood, in this way, in the nearly two years since Li's marriage to Lu Zhongxian, they have never consummated their marriage.After all, Li Shi's body was almost ready, but Lu Zhongyu somehow came to the door again. He was born well, and his status was more noble than Lu Zhong. What's more, he was Li Shi's number one man after all. This man, if Li Shi didn't have him in his heart, he wouldn't have accepted him half-heartedly. Now that Lu Zhongyu still misses her, it's easy for the two of them to rekindle their lives and become secretive again.

Lu Zhongyu had never paid attention to Lu Zhongxian, a clan brother who relied on his own family to make a living, and he always thought that Li Shi was his woman, but now it was just Lu Zhongxian who was helping him to raise her, so he and From the very beginning, Li's contacts were not hidden from Lu Zhongxian. It was also because at that time Princess Fuhui took care of him more tightly than she does now. He didn't dare to act rashly. He could only visit Li once or twice in a month. Well, every time he came, he was very secretive, and there was no rumor about it, so only he knew about Lu Zhongxian's humiliation, which at least saved him from the suffering of being despised and ridiculed by others.

After nearly three years of this kind of life, Li Shi became pregnant again, and Mrs. Lu also found out that Lu Zhongyu and her were still dating in private. People know that after the second time, there will be a third time in the future, how can Mrs. Lu endure it?Soon, Nanny Zhang was sent to meet Li Shi in person.

I don't know what Zhang Nanny told Li Shi, anyway, the medicinal materials and supplements that Li Shi ate afterwards were delivered by Zhang Nanny herself, and the mother-in-law who delivered the baby was also found by Zhang Nanny in advance, and then came out Because of Li Shi's dystocia, Li Shi died twice and was never able to walk out of the delivery room.

At that time, it was absolutely false to say that Lu Zhongxian didn't hate Li Shi in his heart at all, so on the day of Li Shi's delivery, after hearing the report from his family's servants, he didn't go back immediately, but found an excuse to stay outside until it was dark He went back after he got it through, anyway, the child in Li Shi's womb is not his, so what does it matter to him whether it is male or female, good or bad?
But he didn't expect that when he went back, Mrs. Li was dead, Nanny Zhang and the others had already left, and the remaining supplements and medicinal materials she had sent before were gone, and the delivery room was cleaned up. , Li Shi was lying on the bed with a big belly, motionless, he didn't look like he was dead, but more like he was asleep.

Lu Zhongxian couldn't help shivering, he already knew in his heart that Li Shi's death must be related to Nanny Zhang, or to put it bluntly, Mrs. Lu, but he didn't dare to say a word, he just silently made arrangements for Li Shi funeral.

After the funeral was over, when he sorted out Li Shi's belongings, he discovered that Li Shi had left a letter with him. The letter said that she had expected that she would have today, but it was too late to regret it. She just felt sorry for him. I begged him to definitely bring up Lu Mingxuan, and then find a simple marriage with her, so that she can live this life well, and in the next life, she will be a cow and a horse to repay his great kindness.

Therefore, although Lu Zhongxian did not have any evidence to prove that Mrs. Lu was responsible for the death of Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li did not leave any words, but he knew that Mrs. Lu was responsible for Mrs. Li's death, so he was rather curious. What's more interesting is how Mother Hui found out about this matter. Even if Mrs. Lu and her master and servant had secretly investigated the events of the year in order to avenge Princess Fuhui, they shouldn't have known so clearly— —It seems that he has to find a chance to speak in front of the old lady, otherwise who knows what troubles will happen in the future?
