The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 152 Dragon and Lion Fight

What Xiao Ruan said in front of Mrs. Lu soon reached Mr. Lu's ears.

Being called to Taifu Lu, Xiao Ruan suddenly regretted Taifu Lu's solemn expression.

She was a little too impulsive just now, if the news of Cui Zhuangyuan's short life was spread, she might cause trouble.

Seeing Xiao Ruan's nervousness, Mrs. Lu suddenly asked, "Even if you are dissatisfied with Lu Heng's marriage, you shouldn't say in public that Cui Zhuangyuan was short-lived."

"Grandfather, Ruan'er is aware of his mistakes. In the future, Ruan'er will definitely follow your teachings and never do such impulsive things again."

Hearing this, Taifu Lu nodded.

Seeing Xiao Ruan hesitate to speak, a dark color flashed in Lu Taifu's eyes: "Ruan'er, Doctor Lin really said that Cui Zhuangyuan is short-lived?"

The sound of firecrackers coming from a distance was very clear in the quiet room at this time, and suddenly heard Mrs. Lu's voice above her head, Xiao Ruan bit her lip unconsciously and nodded heavily.

Compared with the previous life, many things around her have quietly changed in this life, but she doesn't think Cui Shangpin's illness will also be within the change.

"What basis does he have?"

Taifu Lu's expression froze, and he couldn't help showing a look of deep thought.

He paid a lot of attention to Cui Shangpin, the new champion of this year, and just now he heard his eldest son talk about Lu Heng's marriage, and he also intends to marry Lu Heng.

It's just that this Cui Zhuangyuan is clearly a young man full of vigor and energy at first glance, and he can't see any signs of serious illness. How can Miracle Doctor Lin see that he is short-lived?
"Grandfather, I just heard something casually said by Dr. Lin at the time, but I didn't remember it clearly. However, Dr. Lin said that Cui Zhuangyuan might not survive this spring. If my grandfather really wants my cousin to marry, it's better to wait for two months. It’s not too late to make a decision.”

"So fast?"

Taifu Lu's complexion changed, and seeing Xiao Ruan's expression of affirmation again, he stroked his beard unconsciously, revealing a pensive expression.

"Did doctor Lin say whether Cui Zhuangyuan's condition can be cured?"

"I don't know about this granddaughter. Grandpa can ask Cui Zhuangyuan to ask Dr. Lin to recuperate, maybe there will be some changes."

Once again hearing that Miracle Doctor Lin was treating Cui Zhuangyuan, Xiao Ruan's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that he was too obsessed with the things of his previous life. If Miracle Doctor Lin could really see Cui Zhuangyuan's cause and help him rectify it, it would be a blessing. thing.

Thinking of it this way, Xiao Ruan actually had some expectations: "Grandfather, as long as Cui Zhuangyuan is willing, I am willing to write to Miracle Doctor Lin and ask him to do his best to treat him."

The New Year's atmosphere in the Lu Mansion is very strong, every day there is a bustling market, and there is an endless stream of people who come to pay New Year's greetings.

The elders of the Lu family are busy with entertainment every day, even Ruan Youzhen is busy with entertainment, and Lu Heng also wants to visit relatives and friends with Mrs. Lu, but it seems that Xiao Ruan has nothing to do all day long and has a lot of free time. .

When it came to the Lantern Festival, Xiao Zhongheng deliberately set aside a day to take Xiao Ruan to the market.

Xiao Ruan couldn't remember how long ago it was the last time Xiao Zhongheng took her to the market, but at this moment, being protected by Xiao Zhongheng and walking through the crowded crowd, she felt a deep sense of gratitude in her heart.

"That kid Huo Xun hasn't arrived yet, I'm afraid he won't be able to come today, why don't we go to see the West Market first, otherwise we might miss the dragon and lion dance."

In Shiweiju restaurant, people were buzzing, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng were sitting in the private room on the second floor, two pots of hot tea on the table had been replaced, but Huo Xun still didn't show up, Xiao Zhongheng unconsciously showed a hint of anxiety.

Huo Xun said early in the morning that he would come to accompany Xiao Ruan to the market on the Lantern Festival.

The three of them made an appointment to meet at Shiweiju at Sishi, and now that Sishi had met more than half of the time, Xiao Zhongheng was worried that they would not be able to make it in time to watch the famous "Dragon and Lion Fight" in West Market.

I heard that this year's Dragon and Lion Fight will be very exciting, Xiao Zhongheng doesn't want Xiao Ruan to miss it.

"Why don't we explain to the clerk in the store that if we see him coming, we can go to the West Market to find us."

Standing in front of the window, Xiao Ruan searched carefully, but he didn't see Huo Xun in the crowd, feeling quite disappointed.Hearing the anxiety in Xiao Zhongheng's voice again, he decided to take a step forward.

Many people had gathered inside and outside the high platform of the "Dragon and Lion Fight" in West City, and the sound of gongs and drums rang out in my ears, but I saw the members of the lion dance team in different clothes getting ready. The dragon and lion fight will begin soon.

"Ruan Ruan, I still remember that when we were young, what we looked forward to most every Chinese New Year was to come here to watch the lion dance. Now you and I stand side by side again in this position, but it has been so many years."

Xiao Ruan stared at the lion dancer on the high platform, suddenly heard Xiao Zhongheng's emotional voice, and unconsciously looked around, and found a big willow tree beside him very familiar.

Looking at the big willow tree that has grown into the thickness of a bucket, Xiao Ruan's thoughts quickly returned to the incident when he sneaked out with Xiao Zhongheng when he was young.

Their mother passed away that year, and Gu's family was to be promoted by Xiao Hong as his new wife.

Everyone in the house focused on the new aunt, and no one noticed the panic of their two children who had just lost their mother.

As an elder brother, Xiao Zhongheng saw that his sister was depressed, so he thought of bringing her here to watch the lion dance during the Lantern Festival.

At that time, the big willow tree beside him was no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, Xiao Zhongheng let Xiao Ruan step on his body to climb up, and then the two of them sat side by side on the tree trunk and spent a whole morning here.

Xiao Hong didn't feel worried but angry when two people in Xiao's residence disappeared. When they returned to the residence, they had to ground them both.

Xiao Ruan still remembered that it was Gu who rushed out to intercede for the two of them, so they were spared this punishment.It was also for this reason that Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng accepted Gu Shi and obeyed her words.

At some point, the dragon-lion fight on the high platform had already started, and there was a deafening sound of gongs and cheers from the crowd, but Xiao Ruan felt a sense of suddenness.

The memory of many years ago overlapped with the scene in front of him at this time, and then looking at the familiar face beside him, Xiao Ruan's eyes suddenly flashed a mist.

"Yo, am I dazzled? Dad, look at who this person is, isn't this brother Zhongheng from our family?"

An ear-piercing voice came, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng turned their heads, and at some point, Xiao Ying appeared in front of them.

And standing behind her were Xiao Hong, Gu Shi, and Xiao Yu who were all smiling.

"Just now I said that it's such an important festival, why doesn't elder brother want to get together with us, now it seems that all of us can't compare with elder sister alone!"

There was sarcasm in Xiao Ying's voice, her face was full of disdain, and all her words were that Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng were not of one mind with the Xiao family.

Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and when he was about to answer, Xiao Zhongheng suddenly stood up and stood in front of him: "Whom I want to be with is my business. Sister Ying doesn't talk, no one treats you as dumb."

"The two of you are getting more and more courageous now. You dare to bully me in front of my father. Aren't you afraid that others will know the true colors of the two of you?"

Received Xiao Zhongheng's cold stare, Xiao Ying suddenly felt that her face was dull, seeing that the crowd watching the lion dance didn't notice their abnormality before, she unconsciously raised her voice to warn Xiao Zhongheng and the others.

"Sister Ying underestimates herself too much. If you don't come to trouble us, I will burn incense for Ruan'er. How can I bully you!"

No one thought that Xiao Zhongheng, who was not good at words in the past, would suddenly become eloquent. Gu's eyes dimmed, and he immediately turned his head to Xiao Hong.

"Master, listen to what Heng'er said? Ying'er has always been respectful to him, but he humiliated Yinger so much, how could he have the consciousness to be a brother!"

Gu's tears aroused Xiao Hong's pity in an instant, and Xiao Yu saw his mother crying, and immediately scolded Xiao Zhongheng at the top of his voice
"Xiao Zhongheng, don't think that now that you have been promoted, you can step on our heads. If you dare to bully my mother again, be careful, I will have my father kick you out immediately!"

Xiao Yu's voice still had a childlike voice, but what he said made Xiao Ruan familiar for a while, because the tone was very similar to Gu's.

"Who did you say kicked out?"

With a cold snort, Xiao Zhongheng suddenly stepped forward, staring at Xiao Yu with condensed eyes.

Ever since he learned that Gu Shi and Gu Youcai were having an affair, Xiao Zhongheng had nothing but indifference when he looked at Gu Shi again.

Hearing that even Xiao Yu, such a brat, dared to threaten him and Xiao Ruan, a surge of anger filled his heart.

Frightened by Xiao Zhongheng, Xiao Yu suddenly turned around and hugged Xiao Hong's thigh and cried loudly.

Seeing this, Xiao Hong felt furious, and looked angrily at Xiao Zhongheng: "Xiao Zhongheng, what are you doing! Could it be that your sage book tells you to treat brothers like this?"

"It's a brother, so I will love it naturally. If it's not a brother, why should I let someone push my nose on my face!"

The more Xiao Zhongheng watched recently, the more he felt that Xiao Yu had no blood relationship with him at all, and being accused by Xiao Hong at this time was even more reckless and ironic.

"You rebellious son! It's just that you have been promoted to a fifth-rank official, but you have become so defiant and unrecognizable by your relatives! You are really worthy of the ancestors of my Xiao family!"

The veins on Xiao Hong's forehead were exposed, and while he was talking, he wanted the servants behind him to tie up Xiao Zhongheng and take him back to his family to deal with him.

When the people around heard the movement here, they all turned around and pointed at them.

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you tie him back to me quickly?"

Xiao Hong ignored the comments of the people around him, seeing that the slaves behind him did not move, he turned around and yelled at them unconsciously.

"Does Lord Xiao still want to kill his own son for the sake of his concubine?"

At this moment, a sneering taunt sounded, Xiao Hong froze, and suddenly turned his head, only to realize that at some point, Huo Xun had also appeared in the crowd.

"General Huo doesn't care about the important affairs of the army, but he also manages the affairs of my Xiao Mansion. I'm really worried!"
