Chapter 319: Meeting Fourth Aunt
Chapter 319: Meeting Fourth Aunt There was a guard at the entrance of the house. When Hu Li arrived, the guard nodded at him and unlocked the door. The house was not a prison cell, but it was divided into two spaces by a railing. One space housed the Yuan family members, and the other space housed Lu Sixing. Lu Sixing had her own room, but her hair and clothes were disheveled, and there was a handprint on her face. Hu Li explained in a low voice, "The Yuan family initially blamed everything on Lu Shi, and the old lady Yuan took the opportunity to slap her. We separated them and locked them up. Originally, the old lady Yuan and Lu Shi were kept together." When the old lady heard this, she became angry, especially when she saw her daughter cowering in the corner without saying a word. She felt extremely distressed and quickly approached her. "Sixing, Sixing?" The Yuan family members and Lu Sixing had heard someone enter the house from the beginning, but at that moment, they were immersed in grief and fear. They sat on the ground, somewhat numb, and didn't have the presence of mind to see who had entered. Now, upon hearing the voice of the old lady, they all looked up and looked at them in astonishment. Lu Sixing stood up abruptly, took a few steps forward, and grabbed the railing in shock. "Mother? Xiaozhen? How did you come here?" The old lady's eyes were red, and Xiaozhen burst into tears. She reached out to pull Lu Sixing, and Lu Sixing immediately crouched down, wanting to hug her. But there was a railing in front of her, blocking her. She couldn't do it, so she could only hold her small hand and gently touch her forehead, asking, "Is your head hurting? Did you take medicine?" "Yes, Sister Ah Yu took me and my little brother to see a doctor. My brother fell asleep after crying for a while, so he wasn't brought here. Second Aunt is taking care of him." Following Shu Yu's instructions from before, Xiaozhen didn't mention the fact that Quan Quan had fallen ill, so as not to worry her. However, even so, Lu Sixing still looked worried. Fortunately, in front of the child and her mother, she managed to restrain herself. She touched Xiaozhen's head, wiped away her tears, stood up again, and looked at the old lady. "Mother, how did you come here? This is the county yamen..." The old lady wiped her face and said, "It was Ah Yu who brought us here. Ah Yu went to find the county magistrate, and he agreed to let us meet and ease our minds." Hearing Ah Yu's name for the second time, Lu Sixing was stunned. The old lady pushed Shu Yu forward and said, "This is Ah Yu, you haven't met her yet. She's the second daughter of your second brother's family. Fortunately, she was there; otherwise, we wouldn't know what to do." Lu Sixing looked at Shu Yu and suddenly realized, "You're the Er Ya?" Shu Yu nodded, "Fourth Aunt." Lu Sixing was overjoyed, "Good, good, you're back. I didn't expect our first meeting to be under these circumstances." "Fourth Aunt, don't worry. The officials have said that they will find Fourth Uncle as soon as possible. If they ask anything, just answer truthfully and don't hide anything. I believe Fourth Uncle is innocent, but until he is found, we can't draw any conclusions." Lu Sixing nodded vigorously, "Yes, I believe he is innocent too. He would never commit such treasonous acts, let alone abandon me and the children." The old lady held her hand, "We all believe in him, so you shouldn't lose hope. Rest well. We'll take care of Xiaozhen and the two children. Don't worry." Special thanks to these patrons for their support!!!
