Chapter 10 One Leaf Obstructs the Eye
This is the second time I have seen Mrs. Chen, who is walking through the door. She is wearing a light-colored silk skirt outside the study, with a plain face facing the sky but still colored.
"What business does Mr. Luo want to discuss?" Chen Boche asked while sitting opposite me and pouring tea.
"I wonder if Mr. Chen has any way to leave the Chen family?" I took the tea he handed over and asked with my eyes raised.
"I am fully prepared to leave the Chen family, so I won't worry about Young Master Luo." Chen Boche smiled faintly.
"...I originally wanted to do an errand for Mr. Chen, but I didn't expect to be self-indulgent." I took a sip of the tea and said with a smile.
"Why are you helping me?" he asked indifferently as he looked at me.
"It's just helping each other and benefiting each other. It seems that Mr. Chen doesn't have this intention, so I will say goodbye." I smiled and didn't care much.
Before leaving, I left the jade pendant as a token of meeting in the future.
Things in the South seem to have come to an end, but I always feel that something is wrong or strange. I don’t know if it’s the boss’s wife’s advice or the story of the old woman in the lonely city.
Compared to the time I came, I was rushing while watching the flowers and enjoying the scenery, and when I went back, I was a little hurried. It would only take two days to return to Daliang.
The night before returning to Daliang, the junior sister received a letter from home. It was roughly the youngest sister's mother, Mrs. You, suddenly fell ill. The You family invited doctors from all over the capital for this, and even wrote to Jishan to find You Chen. However, the imperial physician You Chen found was not child. Seeing that Mrs. You were getting thinner every day, she could only write a letter to send someone to wait for the necessary section of the road back to Daliang, so that the junior sister could go home to take a look.
As soon as my junior sister got home, I received a letter from You Chen, probably asking me to wait in the capital, and wait for my junior sister to do her homework and return to Jishan together, saying that she would give me a vacation and rest.
I took the keys attached to You Chen's letter and inquired all the way, and then I found the residence arranged by You Chen for me.
You Chen is worthy of being the celebrity in front of the emperor. Even a small house is decorated with such a stylish look!
Long corridor, stone pavilion, rockery, small bridge, pond, lotus.
I really couldn't imagine that a house would have so many views, but it didn't seem crowded, but it was a bit elegant.
There is only one housekeeper and two nannies in the house, and they are responsible for the management of the house.
It was evening, and I was planning to wander around the capital and find the old house of the Luo family, but Aunt Zhang, who is the housekeeper, said she wanted to welcome me and couldn't stand the invitation. I had to nod and agreed, but I felt a little strange, I couldn't tell what was strange, but I was very close to my heart.
"Aunt Zhang, how long have you been to the capital, Aunt Qi and Aunt Qu?" I lowered my head and sipped the soup, and then asked.
"I've been here for many years, and it's been more than thirty years." Aunt Zhang looked at the unspeakable kindness in my eyes.
I was stunned. I had just met for the first time, so why did I look like this? It was not respect or restraint. Instead, it was like the comfort and pity of an elder who had not seen for a long time.
"Do you know the Luo family?" I asked lowered the porcelain bowl.
"...Luo Family! Miss, what are you talking about Luo Family?" Aunt Qi, who had been silent, suddenly looked up and looked at me.
"Miss?" I looked at the men's clothing on myself and thought about why she had never mentioned that she was a daughter, but why did she see through my identity.
That feeling was like a blind eye. Everyone seemed to be able to see through my daughter, but I was still deceiving myself.
"Ahem, Miss, we only know because Lord You mentioned that a girl was coming." Aunt Zhang coughed twice and said calmly.
"What about the Luo family?" I asked, looking at the oily soup in the bowl.
"The Luo family... is a taboo." Aunt Zhang pursed her lips.
Is it really a taboo? It was obviously a massacre, but no one tried or asked about it. My father's old friends also ignored it. It seemed that the Luo family had never existed...
