Chapter 61 Chapter 61
"I have no idea."

"Then you saw Second Aunt with your own eyes?"

"No." He Lanyue shook her head again, "But at that time he arrested a few young and strong villagers in Wangjia Village to do coolies, and they all saw it with their own eyes. General Zhenyuan not only killed my mother, but also ordered people to arrest me. Mother's body was thrown on the mountain to feed the wolves..."

Speaking of this, she broke down in tears again, "In the end, I... I didn't even find my mother's body, only a...clothes grave."

He Lanhong was in pain and anger, holding the teacup tightly, almost crushing the teacup into powder: "I will definitely investigate this matter."

"But third brother, you are just a teacher, in case..."

"Don't be afraid, I will be careful."

Speaking of this Han Rongxi, he was originally a street rogue in Kyoto. I am afraid that even he himself does not know his name, but only knows that his surname is Han.

Because he wears black clothes every day, and relying on his own skills, he is either stealing chickens or dogs, or doing evil everywhere. People call him Han Heigou, and some people call him Han Pockmark because of his pockmarked face.

He also has a sister named Han Xiaohong, who is really born from a mother's womb, and Han Xiaohong is like a falling flower.

Of course, there are also rumors that Han Xiaohong is not Han Heigou's biological sister, but no matter what, Han Heigou treats her well.

It's his sister's luck that she ran into Song Liancheng, the second prince of the dynasty, by coincidence.

From then on, Song Liancheng was fascinated by her, and Han Heigou's status also rose accordingly. Neither Heigou nor Mazi was worthy of his current status.

With a swipe of his pen, the second prince gave him a new name, Han Rongxi.

In order to promote Han Rongxi and let him make contributions to silence the old officials, the second prince, despite the objections of the officials, named him General Zhenyuan and ordered him to lead troops to Lining to suppress the bandits.

In the end, he was even more powerful than the bandits. He burned, killed, looted and robbed the women of the local people, causing public resentment.

In the end, Prime Minister Yao Wenzheng came forward to ask the emperor, and the emperor reappointed a general under the command of the third prince to go to Lining to settle the matter.

Even so, after the incident, the emperor was not willing to punish the second prince, but punished him to think behind closed doors.

As for Han Rongxi, after returning to Beijing, he was only beaten with [-] military sticks and demoted from his official position.

Of course, he was far away from Kyoto last year, so there are some things that he can't know. It was his classmate Wen Zhinian who was disheartened and resigned from office and went back to his hometown to talk to him.

He knew that wanting to bring down Han Rongxi would undoubtedly be a pity, but the second aunt was his family, so he always had to do his best.

Moreover, the second prince is not long-term, and he has only spoiled Han Xiaohong for a few years, and the beauties around him are constantly changing.

The two brothers and sisters had a heart-to-heart talk for a while, and He Lanqian woke up.

When father and daughter meet, He Lanqian wants to tell his daughter what he has kept in his heart for 28 years, but his throat hurts like a knife is cutting a word.

Although He Lanyue felt sorry for him, she couldn't yell out her father's voice, but Wang Luoye called her grandfather very affectionately, and He Lanqian was so happy that he recovered a little from his illness.

When He Lanhong ordered people to send the mother and daughter back to the medicine house, it was already dark.

Seeing Wang Luohua busy in the kitchen by herself, preparing the broth, wonton wrappers and meat stuffing for tomorrow, He Lanyue felt very uncomfortable.

She asked Wang Luoye to take care of Huimao, while she walked into the kitchen cautiously, and called her guiltily: "Hua'er..."

Wang Luohua replied indifferently: "Mother is back."

"Ah."

Seeing her cold, He Lanyue felt even more guilty.

She stood there awkwardly for a while, and saw the marinated duck liver, duck intestines, duck gizzards, etc. on the small table next to it, and knew that sister Kang Lan must have prepared them for her daughter.

She paid her mother and son to live together in the medicine house, but sister Kang Lan didn't want to trouble others, so she rented a house in the town.

She cautiously suggested, "Why don't you leave the wonton stall to your fat aunt, after all, you are a girl..."

Wang Luohua suddenly threw the meat chopping knife in his hand on the cutting board, and stared at He Lanyue angrily.

"What's wrong with my girl's family? The girl's family can't show their faces and eat on their own. The girl's family should be a dodder flower that can only cling to parasites?"

"Hua'er, are you complaining about your mother?"

"I don't dare, I can do whatever I want, but..." Her eyes were firm, "Mother don't interfere with what I do, whether it's setting up a wonton stall or practicing medicine, I can always support myself."

"Hua'er!" He Lanyue suddenly raised her voice, "Mother doesn't need you to support herself, she can support you. Shopkeeper Cao said that Mother's embroidery is very good, so he wants to raise the monthly silver for me."

Wang Luohua snorted coldly: "Mother really thinks that her embroidery is so good that shopkeeper Cao wants to raise the moon money for you?"

He Lanyue asked suspiciously: "Then what?"

Wang Luohua wanted to say, it wasn't because shopkeeper Cao knew that you were He Lanhong's sister, and she wanted to send her child to study in Mingde Academy, so she tried to bribe you in a different way.

When the words came to her lips, seeing that He Lanyue's eyes were swollen like peaches, she swallowed again, and said angrily, "I don't know."

He Lanyue always felt that it was not a big deal for her daughter to set up a wonton stall outside, and her wedding was approaching, so she couldn't marry into the Li family and still sell wontons and duck blood vermicelli.

Although the Li family was a farmer, they were farming and studying. Li Fengjun's grandfather was still a farmer, a first-class scholar, and he could receive six buckets of rice every month, plus some silver every year.

Can a family like this allow their daughter-in-law to do business in public?

Even if she doesn't marry Li Fengjun, the girl's family can't show her face like this, so it's hard to find a good family.

Thinking of this, she cautiously persuaded: "Mother knows that you are a strong child, but no matter how strong you are, you are also a girl, let alone you..."

Her eyes turned red all of a sudden, "It's your grandma who took me to wander abroad and had a very difficult life. Mother really misses you..."

"Okay, mother." Wang Luohua interrupted her impatiently, "I know what you want to say, you see you are tired, so go back to the room and rest."

"No, mother will help you finish these as soon as possible, and then make dinner."

She took the blue cloth coat hanging from the basin stand and tied it around her waist, and started to help Wang Luohua light the fire. Knowing that her daughter was a stubborn and resigned character, she couldn't persuade her for a while, so she changed the topic.

"By the way, shopkeeper Cao said today that Cousin Liu's lady loves those handkerchiefs and sachets embroidered with the zodiac signs of rabbits, and asked if there were any other interesting ones, such as dragonflies and butterflies."

Wang Luohua thought for a while: "I want to ask about this."

"Hua'er, when and how did you meet Li Fengjun?"

"It didn't take long, just a while ago, he accidentally fell off the cliff, and I saved him."

"Oh, that's how it is." She silently nodded her head and praised, "I didn't expect this child to be so smart and capable, but it's a pity..."

Originally, she always thought that the rumors about Li Fengjun were all rumors, but the facts were not rumors.

She heard from people in the embroidery workshop that although Li Fengjun was smart and extremely good-looking, he probably couldn't find such a good-looking person in the entire Songhuai County.

But he doesn't do his job properly, relying on his cousin as the head of the county, he wanders the streets and alleys all day long, causing troubles.

She began to wonder, and her heart was a little shaken. Marrying her daughter to him would push her daughter into a pit of fire?
She thought about it, and said tentatively: "Hua'er, if you don't want to marry into the Li family, mother can find a way."

"No need." Wang Luohua's voice was still cold and indifferent, "I think Li Fengjun is very nice."

"Hua'er, people can't be fooled by appearances. When looking for a husband, you should put character first."

Wang Luohua asked back: "How is father's character?"

He Lanyue was stunned for a while, and Wang Luohua said again: "Character is important, but a good man doesn't mean he is a good husband. I only look for someone who loves me, cherishes me, and protects me. I don't care whether he is a human or a ghost, and Li Fengpin's character Not bad either."

He Lanyue was originally not good at words, but now she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

The mother and daughter were speechless, and the atmosphere became stagnant.

Just at this time, Wang Qingshan ran over impatiently, panting and said: "Yue Niang, Hua'er, Ye'er, find a place to hide quickly, your grandma will bring your second uncle, third uncle and your sister-in-law to rush coming."

He Lanyue broke out in shock: "Okay, what's the matter?"

"It's all my fault." Wang Qingshan slapped himself anxiously, "When I came back to deliver corn to you, I didn't want to be seen by Fuhao. Fortunately, he was taken away by the county yamen."

I heard from the yamen in the county that Wang Ashu in the prison was recruited by Fuhao to instigate him to rob Ningxiang Pavilion of rouge and gouache, and also robbed the pearl hairpin from Jinyinzhai.

Yacha also found a box of rouge, two boxes of face powder and a gold-plated butterfly hairpin in Fuhao's house, which was exactly the one Fuhao wore when he met him in Kowloon Town that day.

Thinking of this, he became even more anxious.

"When he was taken away, Fu Hao was crying and fussing. For some reason, he told me about my gift of corn. Your grandma almost fainted when she heard that. When your second uncle and third uncle came back at night, she brought them over. , your sister-in-law even copied a kitchen knife in her hand, I'm really afraid..."

He hardly dared to speak.

He Lanyue panicked: "Hua'er, let's go to you quickly..."

Just as she was about to talk about her grandfather's house, Wang Luohua immediately cut off her words: "Why should we leave! Father has already reconciled with mother. If they dare to come to the medicine house to cause trouble, I will report to the authorities immediately!"

After finishing speaking, she glanced at He Lanyue and shook her head at her.

If the family knew that the mother was the daughter of the Helan family, it would be fine. They would definitely try their best to blackmail them, and even go to Mingde Academy to make trouble.

Uncle Helan didn't offend her, and she didn't want to cause him any unnecessary trouble.

"Yes!" Although Wang Luoye was terrified, he held He Lanyue and Wang Luohua's hands tightly and said bravely, "We are going to report to the authorities."
