Chapter 116 Lu Jiayi
Chapter 116 Lu Jiayi
Lu Jiayi is also a member of the class, but she is a little transparent person following behind Shangguan Ruyi. She doesn't talk much, and Shangguan Ruyi relays any words on her behalf. She is always quiet and just smiles while listening to gossip.
It turns out that her father is Lord Shangguan’s boss.
I haven’t heard Sister Lu talk about it!
Forgot, she has aphasia.
She heard this from Cui Zhiyao, a little girl. Two years ago, Sister Lu and her mother encountered bandits at home. Her mother was killed, but Sister Lu hid in the compartment under the floor and escaped. Since then, Sister Lu has forgotten everything and can't speak. After seeing this, Master Cui said he was powerless.
But the sisters in her class were very tight-lipped and never said that Sister Lu’s father was the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple.
Xiao Yining tilted her head to look at Lu Chengan, and saw him take out a glass bead from his arms and put it into his empty eye socket, then turned his head and nodded slightly to her.
Xiao Yining: ...This adult has a really weird habit, he likes to scare children.
Qiu Yi was already clutching her clothes and shivering, trying to squat under Xiao Yining to reduce her presence.
At this moment, a piece of paper blocked Xiao Yining's sight.
"Don't be afraid, my father is a good man."
Little Yining glanced at the words on the paper and then looked at little Lu Jiayi. Seeing her sweet smile at her, she smiled back.
Lu Jiayi continued to write on the paper and talk to Xiao Yining.
"My eldest brother went out of town to attend an appointment today and was too busy to take me with him, so my father brought me here."
Yes, she had also heard that since the accident happened in Sister Lu's family, they dismissed the servants and left an old nanny to take care of her. Usually she was just a hanger-on for her master. She went wherever her master went and never stayed at home.
Little Yining also replied, "My father has to study, my uncle is going to be scolded, and no one is taking care of me, so I came here."
Actually, it wasn't like that. I was originally going to look for my mom, but my dad packed me up and sent me here. Ha, ha, ha...
Lu Jiayi nodded in understanding and wrote another line of words.
"Oh, my father is in much better health now. Thank you Sister Lu for your concern. Uncle has been scolded less and beaten less recently. My grandmother said that the punishment should be halved during the Chinese New Year."
"My dad burned off half of his eyebrows while burning incense, and my grandma scolded him, saying that he was getting uglier and uglier."
"..."
Lu Chengan took the file and listened to the childish words, with a smile in his eyes. "Wang Lin, go and get busy."
"Oh, yes, Lord Zhengqing."
"Just call me Lord Lu." Lu Cheng'an opened the file and started reading.
Wang Lin scratched his head, looked at his niece who was still talking, and walked over to her anxiously and said, "Qing Jie'er, don't run around this time."
Little Yining nodded solemnly this time, "Don't worry, uncle. Sister Qing promises not to move this time."
Wang Lin touched her little head with satisfaction, gave Lu Jiayi a silly smile, and continued his cleaning work.
Lu Jiayi took out a book from her cloth bag and waved to Xiao Yining, asking her to come over and read together.
Little Yining looked at the densely packed files on the shelf and waved her hands in her heart, "I can't watch you guys in the melon field anymore." She stood up and moved towards Lu Jiayi.
Qiu Yi was startled when she saw the little master who blocked her view had left. Then, seeing Lu Chengan's strange eyes, she quickly hid next to Lu Jiayi.
So scary, didn't the young lady promise Uncle No. 2 not to move? Woo woo woo...
Xiao Yining: Who is older, you or me? I am still your master!
Wan Niang looked up at the refilled tea and glanced at her husband.
Lin Yuzan put down the book in his hand and smiled disgustingly. "Madam..."
"Snapped"
door closed
"Husband, please go back to the study and look after your cousin. He wants to take the exam for the scholar this year. You can go and give him some guidance." Wan Niang's voice came from behind the door.
That brat doesn't need my attention.
"Madam, I can help you look at the account books. You have been looking at them for the whole morning, and I believe you must be tired..." Lin Yuzan said as he straightened his clothes.
"Well, I'm tired, husband, please don't bother me to rest."
Lin Yuzan lay on the door, listening to his wife's footsteps gradually fading away. He couldn't help feeling depressed. After not seeing Wan Niang for several months, she was no longer as gentle and lovely as before. It was still the Feng Shui of Yanjing that nurtured people. If she was a little fierce, he wouldn't have to worry about the mother and daughter being bullied outside.
He slowly came to Pei Yi's study. This brat has acknowledged Pei Dafu as his father, but he still refuses to leave his house. He is really an evildoer with a heart of his own.
Pei Yi's eyes did not leave the book. He stood up and walked to the window, slammed the window shut, and then closed the door.
Lin Yuzan: ..., this brat is really hated by everyone.
Wang Cheng applied the ointment on his back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Yuzan staggering in and asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Isn't Sister Qing annoying you?"
"I sent her to your brother. Let me have some peace and quiet for a day." Lin Yuzan looked at the red marks on Wang Cheng's body and wondered, "Did father-in-law take action today? Didn't he only hit your brother?"
Wang Cheng put on his clothes again and said nonchalantly, "I wear thinner clothes today. I will remember it only when my mother hits me."
Lin Yuzan: This man is really terminally ill. Why haven't I noticed that he has this habit before?
"You sent Sister Qing to the Dali Temple?"
"Well, anyway, the current Dali Temple Minister Lu Cheng'an often brings his daughter to work." Lin Yuzan poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at 66 who was staring at him, and said, "This Lord Lu is also a pitiful man. By the way, in our dream, his daughter seemed to have died young."
"Yes, I remember he was burned to death in the Dali Temple." Wang Cheng had made countless friends in his previous life and had heard more about Lu Chengan.
As soon as these words fell, the two of them frowned, looked at each other, and their brains began to work.
"Gurgle" Lu Jiayi covered her stomach with her hands, blushing.
"Oh, Sister Lu is hungry, her stomach is growling." Little Yining stared at the child's stomach and quickly searched her body. Uh, she didn't bring any snacks.
"Miss, the master was in a hurry to go out this morning, so I didn't bring it with me." Qiu Yi also searched herself and said embarrassedly.
Lu Chengan heard the noise and looked at his daughter, "Ah Man, are you hungry?"
Lu Jiayi quickly shook her head and made a few quick gestures.
Xiao Yining: What is this sister talking about?
Lu Chengan looked apologetic and said, "Really? Then Dad will take you to dinner after I finish reading this file."
Xiao Yining: I finally found out why Sister Lu eats so voraciously every time she comes back to the girls’ school. She can’t talk, but she’s very considerate.
She looked at Lu Chengan again, with disapproval in her eyes. No matter who the father is, he is an unreliable father. Your daughter's stomach is growling so loudly, she must be very hungry.
Lu Chengan felt the gaze and turned to Xiao Yining, "You..."
"My name is Lin Yining, and my nickname is Qing Jie'er." Little Yining replied immediately.
"Then I will call you Sister Qing, and you can have lunch with your uncle and us at noon." Lu Cheng'an made the decision without asking for their opinions.
Xiao Yining: I want to go home to see my mother at noon!
"Wang Lin..." Lu Chengan shouted loudly.
Wang Lin also appeared quite quickly with a rag.
Lu Chengan was very generous and took out a hundred taels of silver note. "You and Lao Jiang go to the restaurant and buy a table. He knows which restaurant it is."
Little Yining looked at the banknotes and couldn't help but whisper to Lu Jiayi flatteringly, "Sister Lu, your father is really rich."
She now forgave him for his self-assertion. The banquet worth one hundred taels must be delicious.
"Uncle, remember to tell my mother that we won't be going home for lunch." Xiao Yining reminded.
"Ah!" Wang Lin was a little embarrassed. "Sister Qing, this is not good!"
"That's what I meant. Wang Lin, go quickly." Lu Cheng'an waved his hand to send him away.
