The Hou family's mistress was reborn and destroyed the household registration book of the scumb

Chapter 11 Inviting her to the Lantern Festival
"Then keep looking."

I don't know if it was the news he heard tonight that aroused Qin Mu's interest. He just waved his hand and didn't get angry.

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief, responded respectfully, and quickly retreated.

County Palace.

Dou Lianyi carefully looked through her personal account book under the dim candlelight, which recorded in detail the dowry she brought at that time. The richness was staggering.

It's just that most of the list has been crossed out with red ink. Those were spent on the County Prince's Mansion and Lu Shangxuan. The more Dou Lianyi looked at it, the more frightened he became. He could only close the ledger for the time being and sighed deeply. tone.

At this time, Bai Zhi knocked on the door outside. After getting permission, she entered the room and said angrily to Dou Lianyi: "Young madam, no one came to the courtyard to deliver meals today. I went to the kitchen to ask. Well, none of them are willing to say let it go, and they still refuse to serve as slaves to get food."

In the past, every time Dou Lianyi hesitated and did not give Lu Shangxuan her dowry, he would starve her until she gave in. He also said that only by starving her body could she feel the pain.

So after hearing this, Dou Lianyi just smiled nonchalantly and said, "This isn't something that happens once or twice. Why do I still annoy you every time?"

She raised her chin and gestured to the sweets and pastries on the table, and ordered: "Take these to the two children. There is no need for them to starve with me."

"Okay, young lady."

Bai Zhi listened to the order, packed up the two identical cakes and put them in the boxes, then turned around and left the room.

The yard where the two children lived was not far from Dou Lianyi's house, but in a different direction. Bai Zhi thought about it and felt that Fu Qing was chosen by the young lady herself, so she went to him first.

However, the lanterns hanging on both sides of the bamboo fence gate had been extinguished. Bai Zhi stood on tiptoe and looked inside, finding that the courtyard was completely dark and there was no movement at all.

She tried to shout a few words softly, "Fu Qing, are you asleep? The young lady asked me to bring you some cakes."

However, after a while, no servant came out to respond. Bai Zhi guessed that everyone must have fallen asleep, so she hung the box in her hand next to the bamboo fence, turned around and walked towards the yard where Brother Dong lived.

Just when Bai Zhi's figure disappeared at the end of the path, a very light sound suddenly came from the dark courtyard, like something falling on the ground.

Soon, Fu Qing appeared at the bamboo fence door. He reached out and took out the box. When he opened it, he saw neatly placed pastries inside. A flash of surprise flashed across his face.

He actually never thought that Mrs. Lu would care about an adopted child like him.

Different from Fu Qing's place, the courtyard where Brother Dong lives is brightly lit, with servants and servants lined up in a row, and there are also a few faint scolding sounds coming from inside.

"I told you I don't want to eat these! Are you deaf?"

"I am the direct grandson of the county prince's palace. Do you understand? I want to eat chestnut cake and fresh peach preserves, do you hear me?"

When Bai Zhi walked a few steps away from the bamboo fence door, she heard a "crackling" sound of plates being thrown. She frowned, wondering what was going on inside.

"Baizhi? Why are you here?"

At this time, a slave girl hurriedly passed by, and Bai Zhi quickly stopped her.

The two of them were considered acquaintances in the mansion, so the other person came over, opened the door, and asked.

"Qing'er, the young lady asked me to bring some pastries over because I was afraid that Brother Dong would be hungry." Bai Zhi handed the box in her hand to Qing'er and asked curiously: "What's wrong with Brother Dong? Losing such a temper?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Isn't it because Brother Dong is dissatisfied with the food served from the kitchen? He is beating things in there."

After Qing'er complained in a low voice, she didn't dare to stay any longer. She greeted Bai Zhi with a holding box and then hurried back to the house to wait on her.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi also hurried back to report the matter to Dou Lianyi. "Young madam, you don't know how bad that brother Dong is. He throws things and curses. It's really scary."

Dou Lianyi had already gone to bed under the care of her maid and was ready to rest. She was not unaware of Brother Dong's bad temper, so she was a little uninterested and asked casually: "How is Fu Qing's situation?"

"It was dark over there. I shouted a few times but no one came out, so I hung the box at the door."

"Going to bed so early? Don't you have any servants guarding the yard?"

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi was a little unhappy. She raised her head and glanced outside the room, knowing that behind this kind of favoritism, Mrs. Lu and Lu Shangxuan must have been instructed.

"I didn't see it," Bai Zhi was not sure, but she could tell that the young lady was unhappy, so she suggested, "How about I take a look tomorrow?"

Dou Lianyi nodded, then thought about it again, opened the gauze curtain, and changed her words: "Forget it, I will go there in person tomorrow."

If she can win over the famous General Guisha, it will be a great help.

It's just that Fu Qing is still a child after all, and she can't do anything to him without her conscience...

Dou Lianyi pinched her eyebrows with a complicated mood, closed her eyes, turned over, and tried her best to fall asleep.

After a while, her breathing gradually became steady.

When Dou Lianyi woke up, it was just dawn outside. She stood up and sat silently for a while, then got out of bed and put on her shoes, ready to go to Fu Qing's yard to take a look.

She didn't move much, and Bai Zhi, who was sleeping in the cubicle, didn't notice it at all.

Unexpectedly, not long after she walked out of the yard, Dou Lianyi's left eyelid began to jump desperately, and she felt a little uneasy.

The next second, Lu Shangxuan rushed over from behind her and stopped her.

"Lian Niang, I have something to tell you."

Dou Lianyi turned around and stood quietly, lowering her eyes and staring at the uppers of her shoes.

Seeing Dou Lianyi like this, Lu Shangxuan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

In the past, whenever Lian Niang saw him, she always had a smile on her face, but now she looked cold and indifferent.

Otherwise, what is not available is the best. Lu Shangxuan is inexplicably not used to Dou Lianyi like this.

Before he could take a closer look, Dou Lianyi's voice sounded calmly: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Don't leave yet!" Lu Shangxuan stopped Dou Lianyi immediately and said very quickly: "The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, you and I will go to play with the lanterns."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned in confusion, not quite sure what Lu Shangxuan's true intention was.

In his previous life, Lu Shangxuan took Lu Lianzhi to play with lanterns, while he was left alone at home to take care of Brother Dong.

"We made an appointment after dusk, under the moonlight above the willow branches," Dou Lianyi raised her eyes and looked directly at Lu Shangxuan, a faint mockery passing through her eyes, "I thought you would travel with my sister-in-law during such a romantic Lantern Festival."

"Of course I want to go with you, madam, what are you talking about, Ms. Lian?"

Lu Shangxuan pretended to be surprised on his face, but in his heart he was regretful that he could not watch the beautiful lanterns with Zhi'er.
