"The old man didn't talk much, and he treated me and my cousin well. Before I came back, he even gave me some pointers on how to do business. After he learned that I wanted to go overseas to see the world, he also said that he could introduce me to an experienced and reliable maritime businessman..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Kong twisted her son's ears and said, "You kid still wants to go to sea and seek death. Your mother has not agreed to this. You are not allowed to go to me."
Han Defu rubbed his ears and hurriedly explained, "Hey, mother, sea ships are now extremely strong. Besides, Mr. Lu said that the sea merchants are experienced and will not be in danger. I should go out and explore while I am young so that I can gain experience."
Han Zhongwen nodded and said a few words for his son, "Defu is right. When the child is older, we cannot keep him locked up in this hill. It is also good to let him go out and see the world."
Seeing her husband speak, Mrs. Kong glanced at her son, and then asked, "Besides Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu, who else is there in the Lu family?"
"There are not many members of the Lu family. Apart from Mr. Lu and Lu Wanfeng, there is also a mother in the family. She is also a kind and kind person. She is very painful to us. They are like grandparents and have endless things to talk about every day."
After listening to what his son said, Han Zhongwen's expression softened a lot.
Kong was very satisfied, "So, the population of this family is simple, and they will be very good at attracting wealth to us."
Han Defu nodded, "Yeah, originally I didn't agree with recruiting money to marry into the Lu family, but after living there for two days, I felt that it was not a bad thing for my sister to marry into the Lu family. Although it is a bit far away from our Xinghua Village, my sister's happiness is more important than anything else."
His son's last words made Han Zhongwen accept the Lu family's marriage proposal.
Yes, no matter what family your daughter marries, her happiness is what is most important.
"... When Mrs. Lu met the fourth girl of your family in private at Juxian Building, she gave her two bottles of black plum juice. Before her accident, she asked you to go back to Lou's house just to get these two bottles of black plum juice. On the way, she asked you to bring some watermelon for Mrs. Lu. Am I right?"
After saying these words, Han Zhaocai, who was sitting in the side hall of Lu Mansion, looked at Aunt Gui who was sitting in front of her.
Thinking of the child she had brought up since childhood, Aunt Gui wiped her tears with a silk handkerchief and nodded. Only she and the fourth girl knew about this, so she had to believe what she said before.
"Yes, she hopes that I can find the real culprit who killed her for her. To be honest, the person who killed her that night has been arrested in the government. He also pointed out the person behind the scenes, but the person behind the scenes is very cunning and refuses to admit it. That's why I invited you here to ask if you know why that person wanted to curse her to death?"
Aunt Gui was startled when she heard this. She thought of the rumors in the city in the past two days and stood up with excitement. "Is the person behind the murder of the fourth girl really the second young master?"
"That's what the killer confessed." Han Zhaocai originally didn't want to involve Aunt Gui in this matter, but now the government has been slow to interrogate Lou Zigang because of insufficient evidence. In desperation, she thought of Lou Zhuxin's most trusted nanny, Aunt Gui, and maybe Lou Zhuxin had told her something before his death.
In order to win Aunt Gui's trust, she had to pretend to be Lou Zhu and entrust her with a dream.
"It must be him, it must be him!" As if remembering something, Aunt Gui gritted her teeth and clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, "The fourth girl didn't dare to say a word about that matter, and he still refused to let her go!"
"What secret did the fourth girl learn about him?" Han Zhaocai asked quickly.
Aunt Gui nodded and told her the unspeakable scandal.
"There were several apricot flowers planted in the backyard of Lou's family. One day, the fourth girl went to the backyard to pick flowers and accidentally dropped a pearl earring. She searched all the way and came to the back door. Near the back door was a warehouse with items. There was a window on the side. The window was closed, but there were small holes in the window paper. She vaguely heard a sound coming from inside. She was curious for a moment.Then he glanced at the hole and found that the second young master was having an affair with one of the master's aunts.The fourth girl screamed in surprise. The people inside seemed to have heard the noise and were about to get dressed randomly. The fourth girl panicked and left there quickly."When the girl came back, her face turned pale with fear. She asked worriedly, and the fourth girl told her in private.
Hearing this, Han Zhaocai already knew what happened next, "Later, did your second young master go and ask the fourth girl if you saw anything at that time?"
Aunt Gui was a little surprised how she knew about this, and replied, "That's right."
"Is there another person who also asked the fourth girl about this matter? Who is that person?"
Aunt Gui was surprised. She didn't expect that she even knew this. "The fourth girl even told you this in a dream? But why didn't she also tell you who she was?"
Han Zhaocai said vaguely: "When the fourth girl entrusted me with her dream, there were some things that I didn't explain clearly."
After hearing her explanation, Aunt Gui didn't think much about it and said, "That person is the eldest young master." At that time, when the eldest young master and the second young master came to the fourth girl to ask about the incident, they both sent their servants out. However, she and the fourth girl were like mother and daughter, and the fourth girl did not hide this from her.
"It turns out it's him." Lou Zixiu might have discovered that Lou Zigang was having an affair with his father's concubine, but he didn't want to be a bad guy and exposed the matter, and wanted to use someone else's help, so he approached Lou Zhuxin.
Facing this loyal nanny, Han Zhaocai told her everything Lai Chuan had confessed in prison.
After hearing this, Aunt Gui's face was full of grief and anger, "So it's not that Lai Chuan was seeking revenge at all, but deliberately falsely accused him!" The next moment, she stood up suddenly, as if she had made some decision, "Thank you Miss Han for telling me these things, I will go and avenge the fourth girl."
Han Zhaocai was taken aback and stopped her quickly, "Aunt Gui, don't be impulsive."
The person who exposed the affair between Lou Zigang and Aunt Wu, Lou Zixiu had no time to arrange it, and the matter was revealed by surprise - Aunt Gui, who had left, returned to the Lou Mansion, asked to see Lou Deshan, and told him about the affair between Lou Zigang and Aunt Wu in front of him.
"The second young master must be worried that the fourth girl will tell the master about this, so he hired a murderer to kill her. Master, please make the decision for the fourth miss. You cannot let her be killed like this." Aunt Gui knelt on the ground, crying with tears streaming down her face.
When he first heard about this, Lou Deshan was shocked and angry, "Don't talk nonsense. How could Zigang do such a thing?"
"Then why did Lai Chuan choose to identify the second young master if he didn't argue? Didn't the master have any doubts?"
"That's why he falsely accused Zigang out of revenge." Lou Deshan said on behalf of his son.
"Why don't you ask Mr. Yang, who personally interrogated Lai Chuan, to see if he is really falsely accusing the second young master, or is the second young master trying to get away with it? If nothing else, the eldest young master seems to know about the second young master's affair with Aunt Wu. If you don't believe it, you can find out just by calling him. The second young master has no regard for human relations and has committed adultery with his concubine. Do you still want to protect such an unscrupulous son?"
"I will investigate this matter. If I find out that you are deliberately slandering the second young master, even if you are Zhu Xin's nanny, I will not spare you!" Lou Deshan said sternly with a livid face.
"Master, I dare to swear to God, if there is a lie in what I say, I will die badly." Aunt Gui raised her hand and made a poisonous oath.
Lou Deshan looked solemn and asked people to take Aunt Gui down to guard her.
If what she said was false, he would not be able to spare her, but if what she said was true, he would not be able to let her leave the Lou family alive.
Once such a scandal spreads out, the Lou family's face will be lost.
Soon, Lou Zixiu was called to the study. As soon as he came in, he saw Lou Deshan's face was frighteningly gloomy.
"Dad." He called out cautiously, thinking about what could have made his father so angry.
Lou Deshan, who was sitting at the desk, asked his eldest son, "Let me ask you, do you know what happened between Zigang and Aunt Wu?"
Hearing this, Lou Zixiu was caught off guard and showed surprise.
Seeing this, Lou Deshan didn't need to ask any more questions and angrily threw a jade lion paperweight on the table."This beast!"
Lou Zixiu quickly wondered how his father knew about this.
"You knew this earlier, why didn't you come and tell me?" Lou Deshan asked his eldest son angrily.
Lou Zixiu lowered his eyes and replied in a low voice: "The second brother is your only legitimate son. I am worried that telling this will ruin the father-son relationship between you and the second brother."
