Chapter 175 Secret
"I'm safe here." Huo Tianyou smiled, and he slowly explained: "I told you before, this yard was left by my grandfather."

Lu Shuyi nodded: "I remember, you said it."

"But I didn't tell you at the time. My grandfather only told me about this place when he left." He coughed dryly, with a confused look in his eyes, and said slowly: "My grandfather may have thought of it at that time, maybe one day My elder brother can't tolerate me as a younger brother, so he left this place for me, so that I can come and take shelter when I am in danger, or it can save my life."

Huo Tianyou lowered his eyelids slightly, and his thick eyelashes immediately cast a halo around his eyes. He said in a very flat tone: "Ginger is still old and hot. My current situation shows what my grandfather thought back then. good."

With Huo Tianyou's appearance and such a flat tone, Lu Shuyi couldn't help moving her fingers holding the tea bowl, feeling a little sour in her heart, feeling quite sad.After only a moment, she cheered up and comforted her with a smile: "Adversity is just a temporary situation. Everything will get better, and it will definitely get better."

As soon as the words came out, she couldn't help but worry again.

Will it get better?
It was Huo Tianyou's older brother Huo Tiankang who gained fame and fortune in the previous life. In this life, can Huo Tianyou really turn the situation around?

Uneasy, very uneasy feeling.

Huo Tianyou knew that Lu Shuyi wanted to comfort him, so he smiled lightly and did not speak.

"Then do you know the purpose of Mrs. Pan's visit this time?" Lu Shuyi blinked and asked about the Pan family again.

The Pan family and the Wu family were rivals in the previous life, so how could Mrs. Pan really come to visit her grandmother in this life?

She felt that Mrs. Pan's purpose was impure, and she must be doing something shady.

"Isn't your uncle not married yet?" Huo Tianyou got up and poured hot tea for Lu Shuyi, and he said concisely: "As far as I know, the Pan family still has several unmarried daughters."

"You mean that the Pan family wants to marry my grandmother?" Lu Shuyi blinked.

She vaguely remembered going to her grandmother's house again, and her grandmother seemed to mention that Mrs. Pan wanted to match her uncle. At that time, she didn't pay much attention to it. She didn't expect Mrs. Pan to act so fast that she was really going to be a matchmaker.

Huo Tianyou nodded, took a sip of hot tea and said, "Now your uncle has taken back all the three grain shops from Baoding Mansion, do you know that those grain shops that your uncle took back are from Baoding Mansion? How important is it to say?"

Lu Shuyi thought for a while, she really hasn't carefully studied the properties of her maternal ancestor's family in two lifetimes.

She only knows the big place, but she really doesn't know the exact location and the size of the shop.

Lu Shuyi pursed her lips, thinking that she was really careless, she should have asked Mo Ju about these things long ago.

"I don't know..." She answered very lightly, her voice full of frustration.

Seeing her appearance, Huo Tianyou couldn't help laughing

Sometimes, she is really a little childish, but this kind of childishness, how should I put it, seems quite cute.

"It's no wonder you don't know. After all, you are from the Lu family, and there are some things about the Wu family. They can't tell you in detail." Huo Tianyou found a reasonable reason to comfort Lu Shuyi, and at the same time pointed out: "I'm not from the same family. Have you said that the Pan family is not simple, so you didn't check the details of the Pan family?"

"I checked." Lu Shuyi immediately said: "But... I really didn't find anything. I only know that their Pan family used to be a merchant selling tea in the south, and later moved to the north and started a grain business. As for Otherwise, I really didn't find anything wrong."

Lu Shuyi shook her head.

After all, there are still too few people available around her, and the only people she can rely on are the people Mo Ju knows outside.

If you really want to thoroughly investigate the details of the Pan family, you must go to the south to investigate.

Who can she send to the south to investigate?
Lu Shuyi got up and put the teacup down, then sat back on the side of the small red clay stove, rested her chin with both hands, sighed and said: "It seems that I have to find someone to go to the south to check."

She slowly lowered her eyelashes, and her small mouth pouted lightly.

Looking at the expression on her face, Huo Tianyou was lost for a moment.

He really felt very familiar with her like this, and she was very kind.It seemed that on a rainy night, or under a grape arbor, he had seen such a face, the same eyebrows, and the same movements, as if in a dream.

When facing her, it was not the first time that he had such a familiar feeling. He even wondered if the two of them knew each other in the previous life, and the relationship was still very close.

Huo Tianyou frowned and hesitated, and finally, he couldn't help asking: "I... Did we know each other long ago?"

Lu Shuyi was stunned for a moment, then she turned her head and said, "Yeah, this is not the first time we met, didn't we know each other a year ago?"

She blinked, not understanding why he suddenly asked this.

Huo Tianyou immediately realized that his question was inappropriate just now, he smiled lightly, his expression normal: "Yeah, we've known each other for so long before I knew it." In the end, he didn't forget to sigh: "Time has really passed." quick."

Lu Shuyi chuckled, and joked: "I really didn't see it, you are quite sentimental."

"Can't you?" Huo Tianyou raised his eyebrows, and after laughing, he changed the subject again, and said, "You must check the background of the Pan family. I checked it before. They are indeed from the south, but ...The current head of the Pan family, Mrs. Pan, is not a direct bloodline of the Pan family, he was adopted by the Pan family."

Mrs. Pan is an adopted son?

Lu Shuyi was surprised.

How come there are no rumors about such a big event?Based on this point alone, it can be seen how well Old Master Pan has kept secrets, and he can hide this point, so there may be something strange in it.

"If you want to employ someone, I'll keep Shuangxi for you and let him follow you in the future." Huo Tianyou looked at Lu Shuyi's surprised face, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "You don't have to be too surprised, it's the best in the world." There are many more secrets. For example, the second lady of the He family, He Zhaoer, is not the second Mrs. He’s biological child. For example, your third uncle has a second wife who has recently become pregnant..."

"What?" Lu Shuyi's eyes widened in surprise, her heart beating violently.

Her third uncle Lu Yunhe has a concubine outside?
Impossible, how is it possible?
Lu Yunhe treats his wife and children very well. The third wife talks about Mr. Lu San every day, as sweet as drinking a can of honey water. How could he raise an outside room outside?
And in her previous life, she hadn't heard a word about her third uncle's concubine. She only knew that next year her third uncle would go to high school, and then he would be successful...

Of course, the last thing she wants to see is her third uncle's high school, because once her third uncle is in high school, he will know Huainan King Liu Su in the future, and if Liu Su rebels, the Lu family will suffer.

Lu Shuyi only felt confused, she denied it one by one: "Impossible, how is this possible?"

Huo Tianyou smiled and shook his head, disapprovingly said: "Some things are not what you see on the surface, do you think your third uncle is a gentleman? Don't forget, he is also a man, and a man has all kinds of desires, especially In terms of beauty, do you think he can resist it?"

As he spoke, he brought over a huanghuali chessboard with copper corners, and sat by himself to set up chess pieces on the board one by one: "Do you still have a sixth uncle in Beijing?"

Lu Shuyi hadn't recovered from the matter of Mr. Lu San raising the outer room, so she nodded numbly.

Holding his son in one hand, Huo Tianyou said calmly, "I'm afraid that your sixth uncle is already colluding with your eldest brother-in-law Qian Wenchang. Your Lu family's business in the capital, your sixth uncle must have taken a lot of money."

Lu Yunmao and Qian Wenchang?
Lu Shuyi only felt that her throat was dry and she couldn't breathe.

She didn't know anything about these things in her previous life. She always thought that Lu Yunmao was an excellent person. How could he be with a despicable person like Qian Wenchang?
Lu Shuyi found it incredible.

It even feels ridiculous.

Huo Tianyou glanced at her, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.

In fact, there are still many things she doesn't know, and there are many dark sides of human nature in this society. It is impossible for some people to be innocent all their lives, let alone desireless.

This is an extremely realistic world, so realistic that sometimes people get along with each other coldly.

"...I know you won't be able to accept these things for a while, but I have to tell you these things. I tell you these things for your own good. At least... at least it will make you see them more clearly." Huo Tianyou stood up and took a few steps forward slowly, then stood beside her in a daze.

He raised his arm and gently stroked her shoulder, comforting him: "There are still many good people in this world, such as your parents, your grandmother, your grandmother, Moju, Dongmei, Pan'er and the others. ..."

Such consolation might seem clumsy, but that was the only way he could comfort people.

Lu Shuyi knew that he meant well, she nodded silently, and said: "I understand that you mean well, but... but I always think that my sixth uncle is an excellent person, and my third uncle treats my third aunt very well, they We are always happy together, I thought..."

"Remember, some things are not what you think they will develop according to your wishes. Even if we see it with our eyes, sometimes it may not be true. For example, Aunt An treated your mother well before..." Huo Tianyou comforted her step by step, making her feel better, and then slowly accepted these things.

"Then how did you know that my third uncle has a foreign room? That foreign room... Where is that foreign room from? What do you do? A woman from a good family?" Lu Shuyi took a breath, and she decided to ask clearly.
