After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 242

After Sun came back, she truthfully reported Lou Sumei's situation. Of course, she also reported every word she said before she left.

Grandma Lou's face was a little pale, and she was obviously affected.

"Understood, you go to work first."

Once again only their master and servant were left in the room.

The only sound in the room was the sound of Chen Xingyan's needle and thread going back and forth, and it was so quiet for a while that it made people feel a little dull.

In the end, Nanny Lou spoke first.

"Miss, the Lou Sumei who came to look for you outside is indeed your real aunt. However, she and his wife are not from the same mother. The wife is the concubine of the Lou family, and Lou Sumei is a concubine."

Chen Xingyan didn't even raise his head, "Yes."

Seeing that she was not in high spirits, Mother Lou took another look at the embroidery and stopped talking.

Double-sided embroidery is also an extreme test of an embroiderer's concentration. If she talks too much, it may affect the lady's work.

However, thinking of the lady's indifferent reaction, does the lady not care about this at all, or does the lady already know it?
Mother Lou's heart trembled, she always felt that she had done something wrong.

After a quarter of an hour, Chen Xingyan closed the line.

Because staring at one place for a long time, and you have to concentrate on it, it consumes a person's physical strength and energy.

Grandma Lou hurriedly helped her to rest on the soft couch beside her.

"It's finally finished, and I'll send a message to the other side tomorrow to take the things away."

"Miss, you have worked hard."

Chen Xingyan shook his head and said, "It's not too hard. If I could concentrate more on such an embroidery, I should have finished it long ago."

Mother Lou smiled and said, "Miss has always been careful in her work, and her movements are clean and not procrastinating. In the past, Madam always said that you resembled her very much."

Chen Xingyan also smiled, and then sighed slightly.

Grandma Lou brought her a bowl of tremella soup, which is good for women and not particularly expensive, so Chen Xingyan drank a bowl almost every day.

Not only did she drink it herself, but she also specially told her mother-in-law to drink it too.

"Today's white fungus is good, stewed with red dates."

"This is stewed by Qi's. She said that it will be stewed with red beans tomorrow, and asked the lady if she would like to add more sugar?"

"It's not necessary, the normal amount of sugar is fine, sugar is a good thing, but eating too much is not good."

"Yes, I'll let her know in a moment."

After a few gossips, Nanny Lou finally mentioned Lou Sumei nervously again.

"Miss, Lou Sumei has lived in Qingshui Town for more than ten years, but her household registration is not in the town, but in the village. I met her when I went shopping in the town, and she followed me for two streets. , and then stopped me."

Chen Xingyan took a mouthful of white fungus and nodded slowly: "You haven't seen each other for more than [-] years, but she has sharp eyes and can recognize you at a glance."

Mother Lou smiled wryly and said, "Miss, it's not that she has sharp eyes, it's that she heard about you long before she saw me, especially because of Fan Xinlian's rumor back then, didn't we go to the county government office together? At that time, she was suspicious. But she has her own life to live, and she has no relatives nearby, so she hesitated until she met me in the town that day."

Chen Xingyan put down the bowl. She knew that Grandma Lou was not lying, but she never thought that Grandma Lou would be willing to tell her the real identity of Lou Sumei.

She thought that Nanny Lou hated Lou Sumei so much that she would never let her recognize this aunt.

"So what does Mammy mean by telling me this today? Do you want me to recognize this aunt?"

Lou Nanny smiled bitterly again: "Miss, if it's possible, I certainly don't want you to recognize her. You have never seen her before, and you don't know the insidiousness and shamelessness of this person. Back then, she was able to kiss herself to death in order to fight for a marriage. My sister's face is ruined, she's so despicable and vicious to the extreme!"

Chen Xingyan frowned and motioned for her to continue.

"When something happened to Lou's family, the families of the girls who have already left the court will not be affected, but their life in their husband's house may not be very easy. And this Lou Sumei was not married at that time, so she joined other young ladies and young masters Together, we divided up the belongings that Master Lou had hidden before his death, and then injured the young lady and abandoned her. If your father hadn't come to find him, I'm afraid..."

Grandma Lou wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes were red, it was obvious that she mentioned the old events again, and it still made her feel heartbroken.

"Since I can remember, I have never heard of the Lou family, nor have I seen the Lou family. Mom, according to what you said, although the Lou family has dispersed, the mother and the others have survived. gone?"

"Except for the two young masters and a young lady who caused the trouble were sentenced to beheaded, no one else was affected too much. It's just that the Lou family will inevitably be ransacked because of those people. Since then, the Lou family has plummeted, and the master and wife They all died of illness one after another half a year later. After that, the Lou family was in chaos."

Chen Xingyan didn't know much about the Lou family's affairs. His father didn't mention it, and neither did his mother. I don't know if it was because he was afraid that it would affect the future of their siblings, or because he was disappointed with the Lou family.

"Mother Lou, how long has Lou Sumei known you?"

"It wasn't long, and it was only about half a month. She asked to come to see you before, but I stopped her, but she cried and said that she couldn't live anymore, so I had to give her some of my old clothes. I gave her two more taels of silver. I didn't expect it, but it actually raised her appetite, and now I have to pick you up, Miss!"

Grandma Lou felt that she had mishandled this matter in the first place.

If she hadn't been soft-hearted at the time and saw Lou Sumei's clothes were patched all over and gave her the clothes, then what happened later might not have happened.

"I can't blame you for this. Even if you take care of her, she will definitely find me after she knows that I am living a good life. I should thank you, Mammy, for stopping her for so long."

Mother Lou said with shame on her face: "Miss, please don't say that. I don't dare to take your thank you. The man Lou Sumei married was surnamed Han. It is said that he is from Han Zhuang. The couple originally started a business in the town. A small shop makes a living, but the business has been sluggish in the past two years, so her life is not easy."

Chen Xingyan chuckled: "Whether her life is easy or not has nothing to do with me. She is just a stranger, so what if she is a real aunt? I have never eaten a bite of her food, nor have I received a single needle or thread of benefit from her. Grandma Lou, next time she comes, you don't have to show up, just ask someone to call her out."

Seeing the young lady's determination, Mother Lou was determined.

"Yes, ma'am."

Grandma Lou looked up and saw the calm and calm look of the young lady, and thought to herself that this is the aura that a housewife should have!
