"By the way, Miss, Steward Feng is here, and the leader is cleaning up the small kitchen for us. He also sent two women, some rough maids and a few servants."

The two laughed and quarreled for a long time, and Pearl finally remembered the business.

"Oh, please bring someone in."

Steward Feng? He is the right-hand man of his father, Lu Yuan, who is in charge of all the properties of the Lu Mansion. It is said that he is also a special person in the Lu Mansion.

Pearl didn't have much time to go out, and soon a middle-aged man in his forties came in.

When the man saw Lin Yixue, he respectfully saluted, "This old servant has seen Miss."

This person is Feng Quan, the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion. In the few days since returning to the mansion, this is already the third time Lin Yixue has seen him, but every time she only glanced at him briefly and did not have time to speak.

"Quickly please get up, Uncle Quan." Lin Yixue quickly helped him up.

Although Lin Yixue didn't know Feng Steward well, she could see that he was very shrewd and tactful, and had an unshakable position in the Lu residence.

What happened yesterday, since Lu Ming left Piaoxue Pavilion, he met Butler Feng first, and then Steward Feng led him to find Lu Yuan.

From this point of view, this Feng Quan is definitely not Aunt Qin's person, and this alone is enough to make Lin Yixue look at him differently.

"The old slave in the small kitchen has ordered someone to clean it up.

I'm afraid that the eldest lady will not be used to the taste of Shengjing, these two cooks are specially brought here from our hometown in Jicheng by the old slave, and they are good at cooking, especially good at the dishes from our Jicheng side. "

"It's very thoughtful, it made Uncle Quan worry about it!"

"There's also yesterday's incident. I really want to thank Uncle Quan." After a pause, Lin Yixue thanked him sincerely.

"Miss is pissing off this old slave. These are what this old slave should do. Compared with the kindness of my wife, what this old slave has done is simply too insignificant."

Butler Feng's eyes were filled with tears, full of memories of the past.

"Mother's kindness?" Lin Yixue asked suspiciously.

"I think back then, the old slave was still an unknown servant in the Lu family, his widowed mother was seriously ill, and he had no relatives, so he couldn't afford the money for medical treatment.

In the end, the wife rewarded the old slave with fifty taels of silver, so that the old mother could be cured, and she lived for more than ten years. This kind of kindness, the old slave will never forget.

The old slave still remembers the scene when the young lady chased the old slave for sweet-scented osmanthus cakes all day long.

So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, the wife is gone, the young lady has grown up, and the slave is also old. "

Lin Yixue never imagined that Lu's mother still had this kind of kindness towards Steward Feng in the past, and Lu Yixue herself seemed to have a good relationship with Steward Feng in the past.

It seems that I really made a lot of money today, and with Steward Feng's help in the future, it will be much more convenient for her to hang out in the Lu Mansion in the future, at least she won't be as blind as she is now.

"Feng Steward, our lady accidentally injured her head on the way back to Beijing, and she can't remember the past, so I have to ask Feng Steward to be more considerate about some things."

Seeing this scene, Pearl hurriedly smiled and came over to explain to Lin Yixue.

"The old slave knows, the old slave knows. It is the old slave who owed his wife's kindness and failed to take good care of the young lady."

"The maids, wives, and servants sent this time have all been carefully inspected by this old slave, and they are all clean people. You can use them with confidence, Miss."

"There are also good soups made by those two mothers-in-law. In fact, my wife liked soup very much when she was young." Butler Feng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with a smile.

lady? ……Soup? !

When Lin Yixue heard these words, her heart skipped a beat.

She quickly thought of the two bowls of soup the night before. Is there really any connection between them?

What is Butler Feng hinting to himself?

"Uncle Quan, what disease did my mother suffer from back then? How did she die?" Lin Yixue asked without thinking too much.

"Oh..., the master also arranged other things for the old slave, so the old slave resigned first."

Steward Feng smiled wryly, but did not answer Lin Yixue's question, and got up to leave.

"It was the old servant who was talking too much just now, and Miss Hari missed Madam again. If there is something inappropriate, please forgive me, Miss."

It seems that Steward Feng is not willing to mention his mother's illness, is it because of some unspeakable addiction.

Don't rush into anything, Lin Yixue saw Steward Feng's embarrassed look, so she didn't keep asking.

Night, Piaoxue Pavilion

"Miss, this servant has asked several old people in the mansion, but when they heard about Madam, they all kept silent and walked away silently.

In the end, only Mrs. Li, who was guarding the second door, took five taels of silver from the slave, and then secretly revealed it to the slave.

For so many years, Madam has been taboo for the master, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone in the mansion to mention it, let alone talk about Madam privately.

Anyone who breaks the law will be expelled from the Lu residence immediately.

That's why the master was furious when the second young lady said something wrong about the madam in front of so many people yesterday! "

In the evening, after being busy for a while, Pearl was reporting her results to Lin Yixue.

"Oh... so the mother's matter was silenced by the father." Lin Yixue pondered for a moment, then said softly.

"Grandma Li also said that there are almost no old people who have served Madam in the mansion. Most of them stay in the old house in Sucheng, and some have been sent back to their hometown. Madam's relics have been sealed up by the master many years ago, and no one is allowed to come near them. .”

It seems that there is really something hidden? No, I have to take care of it in a while! Lin Yixue thought silently in her heart.

"Well, I see, you go down!"

"Yes" Pearl responded in a low voice, turned around and went out.

What is the purpose of sealing things up and not allowing people to discuss them?

Is it because he has too deep affection for his mother, and he doesn't want to think about others, or is there some other reason?

The mother's death might have something to do with those soups, did he know it?

At first, Lin Yixue also thought: Lu Yuan might really have a deep affection for his mother, and he didn't want to look at things and think about others.

But from the news she got these days, it seems that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

She and Lu Yishuang are only half a year apart, that is to say, as soon as his mother became pregnant, Lu Yuan couldn't bear the loneliness and took his cousin Qin Fang as his concubine. Leaving the pregnant wife alone to guard the vacant room all night, but he and other women chatter about me and me every day, you and me.

If this is true love, Lin Yixue wouldn't believe it even if she was killed.

There are many beauties in the mansion, with beautiful wives and concubines, this is the true portrayal of ancient men.

Lin Yixue felt a deep sorrow for the women of this era, especially her own mother.

A woman's youthful years, her true feelings were paid by mistake, so that after her death, the man she loved so much all her life didn't even protect her only daughter. .

No, since I have occupied someone else's body, I must always fulfill my daughter's obligations, and must find out the reason for Lu's mother's death.

There are no old people in the mansion, I don't think so, isn't there only one Hongxiu?
