Yijia Yishi

Chapter 525 Wei Shi (Second Update)
"For an old case decades ago." Lu Shuyi continued: "There are some things we want to ask the old lady face to face, just to understand. And the two families were a family decades ago, isn't it? Is it? Since we are a family, some misunderstandings should be solved, so how long will it be possible to repay the grievances?"

"Old case? Enmity?" Pan Yu interrupted Lu Shuyi's words with wide eyes, and said coldly, "What have you all heard?"

"Is it just heard?" Lu Shuyi asked back: "Looking at your performance, it should be the truth."

"I don't know the facts." Pan Yu still wanted to deny it.

Suddenly, a nanny came to the door and said: "Master, the old lady would like to invite these three distinguished guests to have tea."

All eyes fell on the nanny.

Pan Yu recognized that it was Nanny Zhou, his grandmother's personal nurse.

Nanny Zhou has silver hair and wrinkled face, she should be very old, but she is in good spirits.

Pan Yu immediately supported Nanny Zhou, his voice became softer, and he said, "Why don't you come here yourself, just order a little girl to come."

Nanny Zhou shook her head, and said kindly: "I still need to come to this matter in person. The old matriarch said that if you send a girl who is waiting for you, you may not be obedient."

Pan Yu coughed dryly, then glanced over Master Lu's face, and said, "Then you all go with Zhou Nanny."

The second master Lu took Wu Shi and Lu Shuyi to bow to Nanny Zhou. Although Nanny Zhou is a servant this year, she should also salute to her at this age.

Nanny Zhou was missing teeth, and her speech was a bit leaky, so she laughed and said, "You are welcome..."

While making a gesture of invitation, he said: "Come with me, the old lady has cooked tea in Fu'an Hall and is waiting for you."

The three of them followed Nanny Zhou to Fu'an Hall. Along the way, Lu Shuyi looked at it secretly. The Pan family's mansion seemed to be more exquisite than their Lu family's mansion. The waterside pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings must have cost a lot of money and thought.

The Fushou Hall is extremely quiet in this bustling environment. There are only lush and green bamboos planted around the Fushou Hall, and there are not even any flowers to be seen. The color of the house is also dull, without exquisite carvings. , and no bright ornaments.

It seems that Wei Shi is also a quiet person.

At the door of the main room, Mother Zhou stopped at the door and did not go in, she just said: "The old lady is inside, the three of you please."

"It's work."

The three of them returned the salute to Nanny Zhou, and then entered the main room one by one.

The light in the room is sufficient, and there is a smell of sandalwood, and the sound of knocking wooden fish can be heard occasionally.

Hearing footsteps, Muyu's voice stopped abruptly, and an old voice said: "You are here."

The three of them looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a shrine enshrined in Xici's room, and an old man with silver hair was kneeling on the futon and chanting sutras.

Wei Shi?
Lu Shuyi froze for a moment, but heard the old man say: "You guys sit down first, there is freshly brewed hot tea on the table."

The three of them looked at each other, and sat on the chairs silently. Sure enough, there were three cups of hot tea on the table. Lu Shuyi smelled it, and it was Lu'an tea.

And Wei Shi stood up tremblingly from the futon, leaning on a walking stick and walking towards this side.

Only then did Lu Shuyi see Wei's face clearly. She had a thin cheek and a very pale complexion. Although her eyelids drooped a little, it was not difficult to see that she should have a pair of very beautiful big eyes when she was young, and they were very gentle.

And Wei's eyes stared at Master Lu Er's face for a long time, before he smiled lightly and said: "Well, it really is the Lu family. You are very similar to your grandfather, but your eyebrows and eyes are like your grandmother's."

She spoke lightly, without a trace of emotional fluctuations, let alone a trace of hatred.

Second Master Lu was stunned. When he came, he thought that seeing Wei Shi, Wei Shi would be furious and blame him for all the grudges of the year, but Wei Shi didn't.

Wu Shi and Lu Shuyi were also surprised, this Wei Shi was different from what they thought.

Seeing that they didn't speak, Wei couldn't help but sat down with a smile and said, "Why? Do you think I, an old woman, will scold you?"

Master Lu Er was embarrassed, he turned his fingers around the tea bowl and said, "I never thought you would be so indifferent."

Wei Shi took a deep breath, and she wore a string of agarwood beads on her wrist. She moved the beads lightly one by one, and sighed: "I'm old, I've forgotten the past, if you didn't come , I will never see the Lu family again in my life..."

Her ending sound was very heavy, and finally she couldn't help coughing, she coughed repeatedly, her pale cheeks were a little red, and there was a wheezing sound.

Lu Shuyi could tell from her coughing that she should be sick, and it was not serious.

"Are you... all right?" Second Master Lu asked, after all, the Wei family is considered an elder, no matter what the grievances between the Wei family and the Lu family are, she has always given birth to the Lu family's child.

Wei Shi stopped coughing, waved her hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just an old problem." She fixed her eyes, as if recalling the past, and said: "I was carrying a child from north to south. If I don’t have hot water, I often drink it with melted snow, and then I developed this cough, and no matter how many doctors I visited, it didn’t help.” Then he sighed: “Ah... this disease has been with me for most of my life... ..."

After speaking, there was another cough.

Master Lu Er and Mrs. Wu had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

On the contrary, Wei said frankly: "I knew that sooner or later this matter will be known to your Lu family, and what should come will always come..."

"Since you know we're coming, you must know what we're going to ask, right?" Lu Shuyi asked in a low voice.

Wei Shi nodded: "I know, you want to ask me why I let my son target the Lu family repeatedly, right?"

Without waiting for the other party's answer, Wei Shi said to himself: "If you say that I have never instructed you, do you believe it?"

Wei's expression still showed no waves.

Lu Shuyi felt that it was impossible.

There were so many deaths in the Wei family back then, it was impossible for her not to hate it.

Seeing that they were silent, Wei shook his head and said, "I was still young back then. I was only 13 years old when I met Lu Jingzhi."

"13 years old..." Wei sighed with emotion, as if he was reminiscing about the good memories, but also seemed to be lamenting the old age, and even more like saying that he made a big mistake when he was young and ignorant.

And Lu Jingzhi is Lu Shuyi's great-grandfather.

Wei went on to say: "That year my mother was seriously ill. I went to the pharmacy to get medicine for my mother with a dime of money, but the doctor said I didn't have enough money and insisted on driving me out. I was desperate at the time, and I I was afraid my mother would die of illness without any medicine, and that's when Lu Jingzhi appeared in front of me."

Wei Shi's face was very gentle, she said softly: "I remember very clearly, he gave the pharmacist a tael of silver and asked him to prescribe medicine for my mother for several days..."
