First Empress Merchant

Chapter 198 Reminiscing about the past (3)
Lu Lishi quickly helped her up, "Aunt Lu, don't be like this. In my mind, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu are my own uncles and aunts. Since they are a family, where did they get so polite? Alright, it's almost noon, let's go first How about going around the villa, and then asking Changqing and the others to go out and eat some local specialties?"

"Yes, what the lady says is what she says, but we will eat at home from now on. My craftsmanship is not bad, so don't worry about leaving the food at home to me!" Lu Su's family knew her intentions, although they didn't want her to waste money for them , but he didn't want to go against her wishes.

Lu Lishi also followed her, "That's a good thing, to be honest, I miss the braised pork ribs made by my aunt. I came here from the capital, and I have eaten at several restaurants, but none of them are as delicious as yours. .”

This is the truth. In the first few days when she first wore it, because she was injured, and Liu was mean to her again, Aunt Lu asked Uncle Lu to secretly bring her the braised pork ribs made by Aunt Lu herself every day to make up her body. Her family was so kind to her that when she left, she refused to take them with her to suffer.

Lu Su's family smiled and patted Lu Lishi's hand, "Why is this so difficult? Just tell me what you want to eat, even if I don't know how to eat, I have to learn it before I cook it for you!"

A group of people arrived at Liyuan Villa happily talking and laughing. Lu Lishi asked Situ and Ah Zhong to call Wu Changqing, Li Yi, and Shi Liang, and then took Lu Su's family to the front mountain. Lu Su's family also arrived as before. The guests of the villa were equally astonished by the magnificent buildings here, and learned from the talkative Xin'er that all of this was designed by Lu Lishi himself. Lu Lishi was afraid that Lu Su would be suspicious, so she had to explain again.

When everyone was assembled, Lu Lishi gave a brief introduction to each other and led everyone down the mountain. On the way, she happened to meet Liniang and Ruiniang who were going to the dining hall for dinner, so she called them and left together.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Lu Lishi deliberately found a large box with two tables separated by a screen, one table for men and one table for women, and when Lu Lishi went downstairs with Xin'er to order food, Li Yi also quietly followed behind.

Seeing Li Yi, Lu Lishi realized that he had something to say to her, so she made an excuse to go to the latrine for convenience, and asked Xin'er to watch and order food first, and she didn't say to Li Yi until she entered the backyard of the restaurant: "What happened?" gone?"

Li Yi replied: "Miss, after you went to pick up Mr. Lu's family, there were about a hundred guests from the villa."

Lu Lishi frowned slightly, "Did these people come together? Is there a clear record of their identities?"

Li Yi nodded, "We came together. Because of the sudden arrival of so many people, Mr. Shi went to check the records made by the workers, and it turned out that they were..."

Lu Lishi frowned again, "Who are they? Don't say they are people I know? How can I know such people!"

Li Yi glanced at her, then nodded again and said, "You guessed right, the person here is Zhongnan Baijia."

In fact, since they had such a serious dispute that time, because the purchase of dyes was the fuse of the whole incident, he was very concerned about the matter of the Zhongnan Bai family, and it was only later that she learned from Xin'er that the Zhongnan Bai family belonged to her. Mother's natal family also knew something about what the Bai family did to her mother.

Because of this, when Mr. Shi told him the identity of the visitor, he went to investigate again, but he actually discovered something that was not good or bad for her, so he said He planned to tell her about it in private.

Hearing this, Lu Lishi opened her eyes unconsciously, "Zhongnan Baijia? What are they doing here? There are so many people here, what do you want?"

Fortunately, she took Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu to the front mountain. If she went to the back mountain, she would definitely meet her. But what exactly are they here for?Could it be that he found out the identities of her and father?
It should be... no?Leaving aside how ruthless and ungrateful they were to the original owner's biological mother, now that they are gone, it is even less likely that they made a special trip to find her father and daughter?Besides, do I need to bring so many people to meet my relatives?
Li Yi hesitated for a moment and then said: "I don't know if you still remember the shopkeeper of the dye shop we met when we went to the market to buy dyes. Well, do you still have an impression of what he said?"

"I remember, but it has something to do with them coming here... Wait! Don't tell me that the Bai family is planning to come to Northwest to find another way out because they can't stay in Zhongnan anymore?" Lu Lishi recalled for a while. Remembering that there was such a thing, suddenly realized something, couldn't help asking a question, and at the same time kept praying in her heart that it wouldn't be what she thought.

Li Yi nodded for the third time, "Actually... judging from the belongings they brought, I thought... they really had this plan, and I heard from the worker in charge of cleaning the small building that the Bai family asked them about the place. What places are suitable for building a big house."

Hearing this, Lu Lishi subconsciously rubbed the aching brows, "They plan to stay in the villa for a few days, can you tell me?"

Li Yi thought for a while before answering: "I think that although the Bai family was defeated, the family business was passed down from the ancestors after all, and it is not unaffordable to live in it until the house is built."

Lu Lishi found that light rubbing didn't seem to be able to relieve the pain at the moment, so she beat her head with her fist instead, "Well, after lunch, you can help me find out if there is anyone who resells the big house. Those who are close to the villa and our house don't need to inquire. The farther the better, if there is, let the workers pass the message to them quietly. In short, you only need to be responsible for this matter these few days, and you don’t have to go to the villa, so as to save you from encountering that stunned young man who was refused to buy dyes from us and causing more troubles. Wait. After finding out, you can either stay at home for a few days, or go back to clean up your father's grave, it's up to you. I won't go to Zhuangzi again during this time, oh, and remember to tell Mr. Shi, just Let the workers keep their mouths shut, and if the Bai family finds out the identities of my father and me, tell them to weigh the consequences carefully, referring specifically to the female worker we dealt with before."

Li Yi swallowed unconsciously when he heard this, "Then what if the Bai family wants to see you or the master after finding out the truth from other channels?"

Just kidding, the woman who was used by King Jing to talk too much about the entanglement between her and Princess Mu was arrested by her and went to see the official, but the official is also because she is now Wo Yi. Naturally, the princess's status must be strictly dealt with, and the woman's father was afraid of implicating the young and old in the family, so he cut off her tongue with a knife on the spot, and asked the master to help write a certificate of separation from the father-daughter relationship.

This one in front of me, seeing that the matter has developed to this point, no longer pursue it, but is willing to pay the woman a sum of medical expenses, and it was only later that she learned that the woman died because her father took away all the medical fees. In the end, although it was not the woman who cut off the tongue of the female worker herself, nor was she instigating the father to steal the money, the experience of the female worker still served as a warning to many workers.
