Chapter 82
An Xu smiled and said, "I'm not a fortune-teller, but I just saw that the old lady is very concerned about this little boy's birthmark. Coincidentally, I have seen a boy who also has this birthmark on his hand."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Rong, who had been holding the little boy's hands since just now, let go of her hand and said, "You are a meticulous observer."

Lu Ningxin's hands are covered with sweat, An Dani is fine, is that Zhao Cheng also fine?
But the little boy felt that while his hands were being emptied, his heart was also being emptied all of a sudden, as if something that was particularly important to him disappeared the moment he passed by.

An Xu nodded, looked at the little boy, and continued: "This child has single eyelids. Madam, you have double eyelids, so does your old man have single eyelids? I heard that both husband and wife have double eyelids, and their offspring have single eyelids." The chances are very small. Also, we have to admit that blood is a very magical thing, it will inherit some of the appearance characteristics of the ancestors, this little boy has nothing in common with you, old lady, You need to be careful when you recognize your relatives."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Ningxin finally couldn't help it and yelled.

Instantly startling the old lady who had been teased by the girls, she frowned and said, "Third girl, what are you doing?"

Lu Ningxin hurriedly apologized, although she didn't dare to look at Mrs. Rong's face, she knew that the scolding she couldn't help just now had cleared up all the plans she had made before.

Mrs. Rong is not a fool, she will figure it out soon.

I have stabbed a hornet's nest.

It's all Antalie, why doesn't she die?
The only blame is that she doesn't have a group of loyal and reliable guards, otherwise, why would she need to find someone from the outside?
I still made a mistake, I should have trained a group of guards first.

Lu Ningxin just knelt on the open space in the middle, no one pleaded for her, and Mrs. Lu just glanced at it indifferently, and continued joking with the juniors.

Nuan Ting resumed her laughter, and Madam Rong waved to An Xu, "Sit down here and talk to me carefully."

An Xu smiled and said, "That's fine, but if you want to meet someone, I have to ask the boy's grandma for permission first."

If this old lady really had something to do with Cheng'er, An Xu felt that Granny Zhao would agree with him to admit her back.

Thinking of this, she inevitably took a long time to look at Mrs. Rong. Mrs. Rong suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Then let me talk about it first."

Until the maidservant of the Lu family invited everyone to the flower hall for dinner, An Xu was talking to Mrs. Rong about Zhao Cheng, and Mrs. Rong wished to see him right now.

Whether it's a lie or not, you can tell when you see it.

"Today, I don't know, I'll be a guest at your house," Mrs. Rong stood up holding An Xu's hand, her voice was neither high nor low, "If it's what I'm looking for, I'll thank you .”

When she said this, she looked at Third Miss Lu who was still kneeling on the ground. Judging by her expression just now, it is very likely that the child is fake.

Moreover, how did Lu San, a boudoir lady who was far away from the capital, know that her family was looking for a child, and could arrange for such a child?

It can be said that she guessed the girl surnamed An based on various signs. As for her, before she came, was there anyone or anything that could make her guess about her family?
Everyone walked out of the pavilion, Madam Lu came to help Lu Ningxin, and said with a bit of blame: "Get up, your grandmother is only angry for a while, why are you so awkward and can't get up from kneeling? Don't you put her old man in a trap?" A place of unkindness?"

Hearing her aunt's words, which seemed to concern her but actually accused her, Lu Ningxin almost sneered in her heart. She just stood up obediently, bowed her head, and said: "Daughter knows, it's because she is ignorant."

At this time, Mrs. Rong came over, still smiling kindly, took Lu Ningxin's hand and patted it: "Good boy, take good care of your brother-in-law."

If there was no Ms. An who appeared halfway, her behavior would really make people feel like "it's a coincidence". Maybe the Ms. An who came later lied, and the child Miss Lu San recognized was indeed the one who was living outside the Rong family.

This also proved Lu San's horror. From the coincidence that day, she was just scheming.

Mrs. Rong walked away with a smile, but her heart was filled with gloom. What is the source of Lu San's news?
An Xu took a step later, raised his head inadvertently, and saw the little boy who had been ignored by everyone, standing against a pavilion pillar, looking at her fiercely.

Everyone left, Lu Ningxin glanced at the little boy, her previous patience and perfunctory was gone, and she just said: "I still haven't followed up."

Walking on the gravel path, she said slowly: "I wanted to give you a road to the sky, but who would have thought that it would be destroyed without boasting the first step."

The little boy has been begging outside for as long as he can remember, fighting for one or two edible pancakes almost countless times, his mind has grown a lot, although Lu Ningxin has never told him clearly , but he can figure it out now.

Miss Lu wanted him to be the lost child of the old lady's family.

If it wasn't for that woman who suddenly appeared and commented on her appearance, she might be a child of that old lady's family now.

"Did you see that servant?" The woman's voice sounded from above, and the little boy looked up and followed her fingers. Beside the sparse plum tree, stood a short man with his head bowed to avoid it.

Even if the other party hangs his head, he can still see the flesh on both sides of his cheeks.

The little boy looked at Lu Ningxin in puzzlement, and Lu Ningxin said, "He is a manure picker hired by the housekeeper, and he comes to clean up the manure bucket every afternoon. If you say such a person, which good woman would marry him?"

The little boy's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "Miss, I understand."

"Until Mrs. Rong is sure, you should call me sister." Lu Ningxin said, feeling a little better, even if Zhao Cheng is still alive, it's all because he is living outside and has a birthmark, so why should he be What about the children of the Rong family?

The matter of training the guards should be done quickly, otherwise, with the example of An Da Ni who has repeatedly failed, she will worry about whether it will not be done no matter what she does, so she will become timid.

When approaching the flower hall where the banquet was held, Qingluan, who hadn't seen her for some time, appeared next to Lu Ningxin, and said calmly, "Miss, here it is."

"The previous plan has changed," Lu Ningxin said, "Replace the eldest sister with that country woman."

Qingluan worried: "But, King Jin and Missy are very close, is Miss going to give up this opportunity?"

"That's my own sister after all. It's impossible for my father to ask her to marry a dung picker, so I'd better leave her a way out. Didn't my grandmother always say that she would find me a good man from this talent banquet?" Jun? My eldest sister hasn’t yet, so how dare I take the lead.”

While speaking, he looked around, then waved his hands, called Qingluan to come over, and whispered a few words.

Qingluan's complexion changed, and he couldn't help laughing. He forced a smile and said, "Miss, don't worry, this servant knows."

Let them be arrested in Gong's room, the lady is really good at playing tricks.

At the banquet, An Xu was called by Mrs. Rong to sit together. The table was full of good dishes, and she had nothing to worry about. She ate and drank happily.

After a while, the maid came over to refill the tea. An Xu glanced and found that Lu Ningxin had just entered the table at this time. Seeing her mournful appearance, since the moment she was forbidden to enter the city gate, the gloom in her heart finally dissipated.

It suddenly dawned on her heart that arrogant people are always stupid, people like Lu Ningxin are actually not scary at all.

Looking at the girls around the table, she was the only one who let go of their food. Mrs. Rong didn't have much appetite at first, but strangely, she felt hungry after a while.

This girl doesn't eat elegantly, like that apricot-sized bun, she only eats one at a time, but she is not rude at all.

Mrs. Rong picked up a small steamed stuffed bun and ate a couple of mouthfuls, thinking it tasted really good.

"Haven't you ever eaten something good?" Lu Ningya looked at the table next to her with disgust, she couldn't see the way she was eating so much. She also likes to eat, but she has never eaten like this.

Mrs. Lu patted her granddaughter's hand, and said in a low voice: "Country people are poor. Even if someone in the family becomes an official, it usually takes several lifetimes to wash away the poverty. Just stay away. There's no need to show it."

Lu Ningya nodded, knowing that Mrs. Rong was obviously a distinguished guest, but she insisted on sitting at that table, she didn't know what to think.

The Lu family is very particular about it. It is considered that the banquet is over after three times, but tea and snacks are followed immediately.

An Xu tasted a few pieces, but felt that the taste was mediocre. Desserts, which don't need too many condiments, are the most test of a chef's ability.

For other dishes, the lack of craftsmanship can be covered up with various sauces and spices, and they can always be prepared decently without using a big fork.

"Don't like to eat?" Mrs. Rong now finds this girl more and more interesting. Just now, she ate with her chopsticks, and everything was delicious.

When it came to snacks, she didn't even eat them. Mrs. Rong herself had eaten a lot of delicious food, and her mouth became swollen unconsciously. She didn't expect that a girl who grew up in the countryside would be so sensitive in taste.

An Xu smiled and said, "It's not good to eat when you're full, so as not to cause a joke."

There is a sense of proportion in speaking.

Mrs. Rong nodded secretly.

"I want to go for convenience, can you show me the way?" An Xu raised his hand slightly, and said to a maid who happened to pass by with a tray.

The servant girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course it is possible, girl, wait a moment."

After putting away the things on the tray, he turned around and led An Xu the way.

Old Madam Rong is funny, she hasn't seen such a casual and natural person for many years, maybe due to her status, there are very few people she comes into contact with who are not serious.

She also carried it in her early years, but the older she got, the less she liked it.

As soon as she picked up the teacup, she saw two maidservants going out one after another during the banquet. Madam Rong frowned, turned her head and said to Mother Qiu who had been following behind her all the time: "Go out and have a look, after all, the girl is here as a guest." Yes, don't go to the wrong place and offend the master."

Qiu Nanny nodded, and then walked out naturally.

Lu Ningxin didn't notice this. She didn't think that Mrs. Rong, whom she had known for a while, would take care of a country girl. Seeing her own people follow her out, she knew that the matter was almost settled.

A little maid came over to refill tea, Lu Ningxin asked to refill half a cup, and then slowly sipped one sip, waiting for the good show to begin.
