Chapter 131: Lady of the Marquisate
August 16?
It actually is August 16th!
Madam Leng and Lu Changqing looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Finally, it was Lu Changqing who spoke up: "What a coincidence, my birthday is also on August 16th."
"What a coincidence!"
Ye Xinran said it was a coincidence, but she didn't feel surprised at all.
As twins, their birthdays must be on the same day.
Madam Leng put her hands over her chest.
The excitement of discovering the truth almost made her breathless.
How can such a thing happen?
How could a child from their Leng family end up living outside?
"Miss Ye, your parents... forget it, wait, we have to wait a few more days..."
Mrs. Leng was a little incoherent.
She wanted to tell Ye Xinran her guess, but what if there was any misunderstanding, wouldn't Xinran be hurt?
She decided to write a letter to her sister first to see what she would say.
"Miss Ye, thank you for your help these days. If it's convenient, come and check on Chang Qing's health every three days, okay?"
Mrs. Leng saw that Lu Changqing liked Ye Xinran, and she also wanted the two children to interact more.
This suggestion was very much to Lu Changqing's liking.
He also said, "Thank you for troubling Miss Ye."
"Okay, since you are worried, I will come here once every three days." Ye Xinran agreed.
"But Mr. Lu's illness has been delayed for a long time. It cannot be cured in a short time. It requires long-term observation."
"No problem, as long as it can be cured, it can take any amount of time."
Mrs. Leng felt mixed emotions.
After Ye Xinran stood up and said goodbye, she turned to look at Lu Changqing, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
Finally, it was Lu Changqing who spoke first: "Aunt, this Miss Ye is my sister, right?"
Madam Leng finally spoke: "You think so too? I felt she looked familiar when I first saw her, but I never dared to think about it. But there are not so many coincidences in the world..."
"Aunt, you look at appearance, but I don't judge based on appearance." Lu Changqing interrupted her.
"How is that?" asked Mrs. Leng.
"Based on my feeling!" Lu Changqing's eyes were empty, and his thoughts drifted to the day when they first met.
“When I first met her, I felt that this person was very special and I wanted to get to know her and get closer to her.
I have never had this feeling in anyone else.”
This other person made Mrs. Leng think of Lu Zhiyi.
Lu Changqing and Lu Zhiyi are twins and should be the closest people.
But since he was a baby, Lu Changqing has been very disgusted with Lu Zhiyi.
Not only did he punch and kick her, he also cried loudly when his sister hugged Lu Zhiyi.
At that time, everyone thought that the children were ignorant.
Her sister complained to her many times, saying that her two children were simply enemies in their previous lives.
Later, because Lu Changqing had a heart disease, in order to prevent him from being stimulated, his sister moved Lu Zhiyi to another courtyard to raise him.
She could only secretly go to see her daughter when Lu Changqing was asleep or out playing.
Because of this incident, Mrs. Leng always felt guilty towards her daughter, so when her daughter grew up and was not close to her, Mrs. Leng thought it was her fault.
In order to make up to Lu Zhiyi, Lord Lu and his sister would grant her every request.
Even Leng Qingxin, the aunt, felt that they had spoiled Lu Zhiyi too much.
"I will write to your mother later and ask her what happened back then. And I have to check Ye Xinran's parents to see what they do." Mrs. Leng said.
"No matter what happened back then, Ye Xinran must be my sister."
Lu Changqing said affirmatively.
Ye Xinran is his sister, and this realization makes Lu Changqing feel somewhat happy and relieved.
It turned out that this was the reason why he had a special feeling for Ye Xinran.
It turned out that he didn't like other people's wives, he just liked Ye Xinran.
He didn't know whether it was the effect of the medicine he had just taken, or whether this realization made him feel happy, but Lu Changqing felt that he had never felt as comfortable as he did right now.
It was as if the illness that had tormented him for more than ten years had left him.
He suggested, "Aunt, in addition to her parents, check my sister's current husband. The last time I saw him, I felt that he was not an ordinary hunter. I want to see who is the man who married my sister."
Madam Leng looked at his expression and said quickly, "Don't do anything rash. I heard Xinran say before that she and her husband have a very good relationship. Even if he is an ordinary hunter, so what? As long as your sister likes him, that's enough."
"Aunt, what are you thinking about?"
Lu Changqing said: "I won't look down on him just because he's a hunter. As long as he treats my sister well, it doesn't matter what he is. But if he treats my sister badly, let alone a hunter, even a prince will not do it."
"Okay, I'll ask someone about this."
Mrs. Leng agreed.
A few days later, Mrs. Leng's servants brought back the news they had heard:
It turned out that Ye Xinran's father, Ye Daben, was an ordinary villager. Later, he got in touch with someone and suddenly started a business. After making money, he donated money to become a wealthy man. After that, he had a smooth life and lived a good life for more than ten years.
As for what happened back then, it is impossible to find out because it happened so long ago.
The servants reported the news to Madam Leng, who just sighed.
"It seems that we still have to wait for news from the capital."
……
Mrs. Leng's letter is still on the way.
But Magistrate Qiao's letter had already arrived in the capital.
Lord Lu couldn't help but frown when he saw the situation described by County Magistrate Qiao in the letter.
"This Ye Dacheng is really not good enough to accomplish anything, but is always causing trouble."
He can't even raise a girl properly. So much money has been wasted over the years. He should have cut the Gordian knot back then.
If he wasn't afraid that his wife would notice something was wrong, he would never have left such a disaster behind.
Now even County Magistrate Qiao has realized that something is wrong, and this matter can no longer be delayed.
Thinking of this, Lord Lu called out, "Suzaku!"
A man in black suddenly walked out from a hidden corner.
"What are your orders, Master?"
“Go to Yunbian Village immediately and kill Ye Dacheng’s family of five.
Remember, do it quickly and without raising any suspicion."
"Yes!"
Zhuque received the order and immediately hid himself.
……
Mrs. Leng Qingyu, the wife of the Marquis, had just finished calculating the accounts for this month. When she passed by the study, she saw the Marquis standing there and walked in.
"Why is your Majesty standing here? Are you tired? I'll ask the maid to prepare the bird's nest soup."
"No need to bother."
Lord Lu said, "I have made peace with Lord Zhou tonight and we are going out for dinner."
"Why are you going out to eat again?"
Madam Leng scolded, "Drink less and come back earlier."
"Got it!" The Marquis smiled and held his wife's hand. "If it's late, I'll stay in the study. Madam, you don't have to wait for me."
