"You mean...honor and inferiority?"

Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, who nodded slightly in agreement, and then at Shen Cha, who had a calm expression. Thinking about Liang Jieque's description just now, he suddenly realized that he finally understood what he had always felt was wrong.

"It's not impossible!"

"What the Marquis said is right, it's not impossible." Shen Zhonghe touched his chin, looked at Shen Cha, then looked at Xue Ruitian, and said, "Judging from Aunt Liang's description, they may not really be a family. But what the relationship is, it’s hard to say.”

"It's really hard to say." Xue Ruitian looked at Liang Jieque, who looked confused, and shook his head helplessly, "But one thing that is certain is..."

"They are very afraid that Lu Yicheng will be unhappy. They are also worried that because they say something wrong or fail to do something properly, Lu Yicheng will get angry and cause trouble for themselves." Shen Zhonghe looked at Xue Ruitian and said, "Isn't this right? It's like a normal family relationship, but more like the relationship between a superior and a subordinate, so no matter what Lu Yicheng's attitude is, they will not or dare not have any dissatisfaction or resistance. "

"Yes!" Xue Ruitian nodded and looked at Liang Jieque, "Lu Yicheng is the person who controls their life and death. They dare not be disobedient in the slightest."

"You mean..." Liang Jieque finally understood what they were talking about, "They are called a family, but they are actually master and servant?"

"Yes!" That book boy is tall!”

"Listen to what you said..." Liang Jieque thought for a while, "It seems that this is really the case. They... I mean the people of the Lu family, their attitude towards Lu Yicheng has always been cautious and cautious, no matter what they do. Before, it seemed that everyone had to look at Lu Yicheng's face. On the other hand, Lu Yicheng has always maintained a...how should I put it? I thought it was a respectful attitude before, but it seems not to be the case now."

"This is why you think they look different." Xue Ruitian nodded, "Have the Lu family stayed in Fucheng for a long time?"

"It didn't last long, probably less than ten days." Liang Jieque picked up the tea cup and took a few sips before continuing, "They came a few days later than us, but they left earlier than us. ”

"So early?" Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque in confusion, "Even if you are a master and servant, you have to make sure that your little master's condition is stable before leaving, right?"

"Lu Yicheng's situation is indeed stable, and they were not willing to leave on their own. They were probably driven away by Lu Yicheng." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "Lu Yicheng and his second brother were already well at that time. It's almost done, but walking is still not smooth. I need to take a rest after walking for a while, but everything else is fine. Moreover, Bailu Academy has to start rebuilding and cleaning. The dean and mountain chiefs have gone back, and they can't continue to work. The inn needs to be tidied up and reopened for business.”

"That's true." "On the fourth or fifth day after we returned to the courtyard, the Lu family came to say goodbye to us and asked us to take care of Lu Yicheng even though he was already well. But they were still children after all, so they were still a little worried because they had a lot of things to do at home and couldn't stay here for a long time, so they had to trouble us before they left, including some. I bought a lot of precious medicinal materials as a thank you gift for taking care of Lu Yicheng."

"Father and mother agree?"

"Of course, taking care of one is taking care of, taking care of two is taking care of, so naturally I agreed." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "Because it will take three or four months to rebuild Bailu Academy. He took the two of them home, but the doctor said that the two children's current condition could not bear the fatigue of traveling and the journey was not conducive to their physical recovery. After discussing it, the elder brother and sister-in-law picked Lu Yicheng up. Come to our yard and take care of it together.”

"That's fine." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "Living together will save us the hassle of running around and save my mother from being tired."

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "Your father stayed for a few days and then left to go home, because counting the time, your grandfather will be coming back from the sea soon, and the family cannot be without someone. Your mother took me with her. We stayed in Fucheng and we lived together for almost two months. During this time, your grandfather came back from the sea and heard that his precious son was injured, so he came to Fucheng to visit and saw that your second uncle was recovering well. , I feel relieved that there is no root cause of the disease.”

"Didn't my grandfather blame my father for not looking after my second uncle?"

"Although your grandfather is partial to your second uncle, he still has righteousness in his heart. If this matter fell on him, he would do the same. So, not only did he not blame anyone, he also felt that your second uncle did That's right. It's just..." Liang Jieque paused, looked at Shen Zhonghe, and said, "Your grandfather doesn't seem to like Lu Yicheng. At least where he is, your grandfather is relatively taciturn, and even I listen to him. He told your second uncle not to get too close to Lu Yicheng, but your second uncle was not happy, saying that Lu Yicheng saved his life, and he couldn't be so ungrateful." She shrugged helplessly. Shrugging, "The two quarreled once because of this, but nothing came of it. Later, when Bailu Academy was about to start school, my adoptive father and eldest brother were going to sea again, so they could only take my sister-in-law and me away. But before leaving, , the adoptive father talked to the second brother again. I don’t know what the discussion was about, but it probably ended on bad terms. When we left, the second brother didn’t look good when he came to see us off. "

"It seems that there is indeed something wrong with Lu Yicheng." Shen Zhonghe thought for a while, "Grandpa rarely hates a child so obviously. He has always liked children."

"That's true." Liang Jieque nodded, "After this time, the two of them became very close, and later they often came to the house as guests. I don't know how Lu Yicheng behaved well with his adoptive father, or found him We chatted for a while, but it was obvious that after he came to the house, his adoptive father's attitude towards him was different from that in Fucheng. Not to mention becoming more enthusiastic, he was not so repulsive. "

"This kid is quite capable."

"Indeed."

"So, Aunt Liang." Xue Ruitian thought for a moment, "Where did Lu Yicheng go?"

"I heard from my second brother that he did not take the imperial examination. After leaving Bailu Academy, he went back to inherit the family business." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "After my second brother passed the imperial examination, I gave him the address at the address he gave me. I wrote a letter to tell him the good news. But after Kuai Qiao came back, he told us that the Lu family’s youngest son had passed away half a year ago.”
