Chapter 1505 Liu Sisters
After sending the children back to their rooms and saying good night to them, Tang Feng and Lin Mengjia returned to the living room.
Zixuan and others, since this matter had nothing to do with them, had already returned to their rooms.
Of course, those who felt that it had nothing to do with them were Shangguan and Ji Ning. They were not gossips. Zixuan, on the other hand, went back to practice the Yinluozhi spell that Tang Feng taught her. In the past two days, she They are all a bit obsessed.
When Tang Feng and Lin Mengjia came to the living room, the old housekeeper had already prepared tea, and Lin's mother and Lin Mengjia's aunt were already sitting on the sofa, talking to each other.
When the two of them walked down the stairs, they heard what they were talking about. It was about the Zhu family.
"I really didn't expect that it had happened so many years ago. I thought it was just rumors. After all, there was no real evidence, but who would have thought that it turned out to be true."
Lin Mengjia's aunt clucked her tongue. Obviously, this matter was beyond her expectation.
Mother Lin nodded, with a look of emotion on her face.
Lin Mengjia took three steps at a time and arrived in front of the sofa. She hurriedly sat down and said to the two of them: "Mom, aunt, what is going on? Can you tell me now?"
Mother Lin smiled and said: "It's such an old thing, I didn't expect that you would still be interested, and I didn't expect that you would encounter this matter."
Lin Mengjia heard this and asked even more eagerly: "What is the relationship between Aunt Lan and Zhu Wei? And what about the other woman you mentioned before, her sister?"
"This matter is a long story." The old housekeeper on the side was helping Mother Lin add water to the teacup, while shaking her head with emotion, "It seems that the Zhu family is not too concerned about this matter. , otherwise, Zhu Wei would not be so aboveboard and introduce this Liu Huilan to you. Even if she wants to seek treatment from Mr. Tang, she can just arrange an identity. There is no need to reveal such old things. .”
Lin Mengjia was a little surprised, looked at the old housekeeper, and said, "Uncle Zhang, do you also know about this?"
The old housekeeper smiled proudly and said, "It's not me who raised the issue. When I was in the Lin family, I took care of them both inside and outside. I may know more about this matter than Madam and the others!"
Lin Mengjia nodded slightly.
What the old housekeeper said was true.
Mother Lin and her aunt, when they were in the Lin family, they stayed in the family mansion. Except for some necessary entertainment, they rarely appeared in public, and they didn't know much about some things in the outside world.
In fact, the wives of these big families would often move around, go shopping and play cards together, but Mother Lin preferred to be quiet and did not have close contacts with the female members of her own family, let alone other outsiders.
As for Lin Mengjia's aunt, she usually accompanies Lin's mother and takes care of Lin Mengjia when she was a child, so she has even less free time.
Both Lin's mother and Lin Mengjia's aunt knew about Aunt Lan's matter. It can be imagined that it must have been a relatively big matter back then.
The old butler had full authority to handle the affairs of the Lin family and outside. He would also go out with Lin's father to socialize, and he would often come into contact with people from other families who were not in the same class. He was more knowledgeable about the affairs of these families, whether it was business or family affairs, than Lin. Mother and the others know a lot, so it’s not surprising.
Lin Mengjia said quickly: "No matter who of you knows it, tell me quickly and listen!"
Tang Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Lin Mengjia's impatient look. He poured himself a cup of tea and tasted it slowly while listening to their conversation.
Lin Mengjia's aunt rushed to say: "Although I don't know as much as Lao Zhang about this matter, I definitely know a lot. For me, if there is something wrong, Lao Zhang, you can come and add it."
She has always been quick-talking, so of course she would not fall into this situation. The old housekeeper also knew her temperament and would not compete with her, but nodded with a smile.
Lin Mengjia didn't care who said it, as long as she knew about it, she immediately said: "Okay, okay, auntie, tell me quickly!"
The woman said with a smile: "This matter has to be told from more than forty years ago. The Zhu family has a prosperous family, especially the men. Whether it is the generation of the old man of the Zhu family or Zhu Wei's generation, most of them are Those who give birth to boys, whether direct or collateral, rarely have girls born.”
Lin Mengjia nodded. She also knew that among Zhu Wei's generation, she was the only eldest lady, and among her generation, the eldest son of the Zhu family, there was only one girl. She was still young. At the time, she When she left Yanjing, the girl seemed to be only about ten years old.
"Back then, the brothers of the Zhu family all hoped to have a daughter, but they couldn't, except for the old man of the Zhu family - back then, he was not the head of the family. When he was over forty, his wife finally After giving birth to a baby girl, it stands to reason that the long-awaited daughter has finally arrived, and everyone in the Zhu family thought they were very happy, but that was not the case. Although the Zhu family also held a grand banquet and were very polite. , but at the time, people who witnessed it said that Mrs. Zhu obviously did not look very happy, and the Zhu family said that she was so tired after giving birth at an advanced age. "
The woman spoke with a very gossipy look on her face.
In fact, she did not witness this incident with her own eyes. After all, she was only in her teens at that time, and Lin's mother had not yet married into the Lin family. Due to their age and status at that time, they could not enter the Zhu family. This banquet.
However, judging from the lifelike way she spoke, it seemed as if she was really at that banquet.
Lin Mengjia hurriedly asked: "Is the baby girl born at that time Zhu Wei?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, that's her. In fact, people didn't pay much attention to the strange look on Mrs. Zhu's expression during Zhu Wei's Full Moon Wine. It was only after what happened later that people noticed. I remembered."
"Later? After a long time?" Lin Mengjia's eyes were filled with eagerness.
The woman nodded, took a sip of tea, and then smiled again: "It must have been more than ten years. I can't remember the specific time clearly, but at that time, your parents were already married, and I was with you." With your mother, I came to live in your house, and only then did you know what happened to the Liu sisters."
"Liu Huixue, Liu Huilan," Lin Mengjia repeated these two names, "What happened to the two of them?"
