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

Chapter 57 True and False Orphans
"Yes!"

Lu Lianzhi and Lu Shangxuan actually admitted it in unison.

There was no hesitation at all.

Dou Lianyi lowered her eyes, covering up the sarcasm in her eyes, and raised her hand to touch Brother Dong's head with seemingly affection, and said softly: "It turns out that our poor Brother Dong is really an orphan, but it doesn't matter, my mother will care about you." Hello's."

The word "orphan" stung everyone present except Dou Lianyi, especially Dong Geer who had just been slapped by his biological mother.

From just now to now, Brother Dong has not spoken again, but his eyes have been lingering between Lu Lianzhi and Lu Shangxuan with resentment.

He clearly has a father and a mother, and they are standing in front of him, so why don't they even acknowledge him?

This was the first time that Lu Lianzhi did not dare to look directly at Brother Dong. She swallowed guiltily and unconsciously wanted to get closer to Lu Shangxuan.

But Lu Shangxuan was also agitated by this sudden incident. He didn't like how Lu Lianzhi looked at him, so he walked aside with a cold face, avoiding Brother Dong's gaze.

Seeing this, Lu Lianzhi could only silently swallow this bitter pill that she had caused by her own hands.

"Humph!"

Seeing this situation, Brother Dong felt a little uncomfortable no matter how arrogant and domineering he usually was. Not to mention that Fu Qing saw everything so embarrassing, which made it even more unbearable for him.

After snorting coldly, he shook off Dou Lianyi's arm, turned around and rushed out.

"Brother Dong, where are you going!"

Lu Lianzhi subconsciously wanted to chase him out, but Dou Lianyi blocked the door. He looked at her with a half-smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry so much about Brother Dong. After all, he is my child. It’s my turn to care.”

Forced by Dou Lianyi's momentum, Lu Lianzhi bit her lip, couldn't help but take a step back, lowered her head and replied, "Sister-in-law is right."

"Mom, please have a good rest. I'm going to see Brother Dong right now."

After saying that, Dou Lianyi turned around and walked out without even looking at Lu Shangxuan.

After walking a few steps, she saw that Fu Qing had not followed. When she looked back, she found that he was still frozen in place.

Dou Lianyi felt enlightened, frowned slightly and stretched out her hand to him.

"Fu Qing, come over to mother's side."

Fu Qing raised his head, with a slight tangle on his face.

But after a while, he had calmed down his emotions, walked obediently to Dou Lianyi, and held her hand.

"Don't think too much." After Dou Lianyi led Fu Qing for a while, she suddenly said calmly: "If what I just said made you feel uncomfortable, don't take it to heart."

In fact, she did not ignore the loss that flashed in Fu Qing's eyes when he said "orphan" just now.

But Dou Lianyi didn't care too much at the time. Since Lu Lianzhi had dug a hole for herself, she naturally wanted to take advantage of the situation and give it another push.

As for Fu Qing being hurt because of this, Dou Lianyi could only wait until there was no one around before she apologized to him.

"It's okay, young lady," Fu Qing squeezed Dou Lianyi's hand slightly, and responded in a confused tone: "Both of my parents died when I was young. If I hadn't survived with a bite of food from a kindhearted person, I wouldn't have survived. There will be no opportunity to enter the county prince's palace later, so I have long been relieved that I am an orphan." Speaking of this, Fu Qing also comforted Dou Lianyi: "Young madam, please don't worry."

Dou Lianyi didn't speak again, but pursed her lips with some complicated thoughts.

She held Fu Qing's hand tightly. Although she already knew that embarking on this road of revenge would hurt other innocent people, she could not look back now.

After sending Fu Qing back to the courtyard, she felt a little bored, so she asked Bai Zhi to go back to the courtyard first, leaving her to walk around as she pleased.

It wasn't until she was walking that she was blocked by a closed courtyard door. She looked up and realized that she had arrived at the Zhuyuan.

The bamboo garden is located in the backyard. It may have been built the earliest, and since it is in a remote place, many things in it are a bit dilapidated, especially the bamboos that no one takes care of on weekdays, so they are particularly lively and wanton.

In the past, the Lu family would occasionally go there to escape the heat in the mid-summer days. But then, I don’t know when, some servants would often hear inexplicable crying sounds when passing there in the middle of the night, and even the faint sound of women singing.

Some unlucky people even saw with their own eyes a dark shadow floating through the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, which scared several maids to the point of fainting. When they woke up, they kept saying that there was a ghost in the bamboo garden.

Over time, even the Lu family themselves felt it was unlucky and were unwilling to go in.

Only Dou Lianyi himself knew that the so-called cries in the Bamboo Garden were not as scary as those outside. There were only few people inside, so the night owls built their nests here, and when someone passed by, they would be frightened. Naturally, Then it would fly up and become the terrifying black shadow in the mouth of the servants.

As for the sound of the woman singing opera, it was because the Bamboo Garden was close to a back alley, and across the alley not far away was the "Chunyi Tower", where men and women made love and played music every night, so it was inevitable that it would spread to the Bamboo Garden.

But also because of this, Zhuyuan became the best place for Dou Lianyi to go when she was depressed in her previous life.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn, I would be here again.

Dou Lianyi pushed open the door of the bamboo garden in front of her with a slight push. The big lock hanging on it was useless.

Just a few steps into the bamboo garden, I felt that it was cooler inside than outside. When the autumn wind blew, the hair on my body stood up.

Fortunately, she was still wearing a cloak. Dou Lianyi subconsciously wrapped the cloak tightly around her and walked around a large bamboo forest to the bamboo pavilion not far away.

There is a clear spring next to the bamboo pavilion, which looks like a piece of green emerald. It looks cool and refreshing. As the autumn wind blows, the water surface will occasionally have weak ripples.

There were still many wild flowers surrounding them, but because it was past the cold dew season, they looked a little decadent. Dou Lianyi stopped and looked at them for a while, and her depression gradually dissipated a lot.

After a while, Dou Lianyi took a deep breath, bent down and patted the dead leaves on the corner of her skirt. When she turned to leave, her expression had returned to calm, and the previous entanglement was gone.

The autumn wind blew through the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, and in the distance there was the sound of the bamboo garden gate being closed again.

After a while, a slender figure slowly walked out from the depths of the bamboo forest. The ivory fan hanging on his belt swayed slightly as he moved.

"interesting."

He laughed softly, his eyes looking at Dou Lianyi's leaving back filled with amusement.

When the autumn wind picked up again, that figure had disappeared.

That day, Lu Lianzhi returned to the courtyard in a state of embarrassment and became very angry at the servants in her courtyard.
