Chapter 137 My daughter’s mouth is really sharp
Lu Jia was really silenced by her father.
After returning home from the previous life, Lu Jie changed his excitement when they met again on the second day and handed Lu Jia to Jiang instead. For a while, the father and daughter did not have a chance to sit down and talk.
Lu Jia would sometimes take the initiative to look for him, but often she would not be able to say more than a few words before either Jiang came over or Lu Ying showed up and interrupted her.
Wanting to be as close to her father as she was when she was a child became a luxury.
Later, gradually, Lu Jia stopped spending all this effort.
Until her death, communication between father and daughter was limited to when necessary.
It would be a bit awkward for the estranged father and daughter to reunite after a long absence. But being a father was so direct, Lu Jia suddenly felt that even embarrassment was unnecessary.
She is also a person who has experienced life and death, and there is no situation in which she cannot be open-minded.
He said, "Your words sound like you are hurting me."
"You can't expect me to praise you, can you?" Lu Jie looked up, "Why did you run when you saw me? Is your father some kind of scary ghost?"
"It's not that shabby," Lu Jia sighed: "I'm just a country girl and have never seen a high official. Even if you are my father, I would be scared if you suddenly came over."
Lu Jie snorted heavily.
Then he said: "You were in Xiayoulou that day, did you come here specifically to see me? Have you been in Tanzhou Mansion these years?
"Who takes care of you?
"Since you still remember your life experience, why didn't you show up until now? Why didn't you tell me who you were that day?
"I thought, I really thought..."
These questions are expected.
It's just like in the previous life, I still didn't ask the most important question.
Lu Jia said in a cold tone: "You think I'm really dead, do you? Why don't you ask me how I got lost in the first place?"
Lu Jie said calmly: "It's good to be back."
What does it mean?
If you can come back, you don’t have to worry about anything else?
Lu Jia finally couldn't help rolling his eyes.
I really don’t know if he can really give it up, or if he knows everything and just doesn’t want to mention it!
But now Lu Jia doesn't want to pursue this. Since he, as a father, doesn't ask, what's the point of being a daughter's entanglement?
So she skipped the question and gave a brief but necessary explanation of her situation: "My adoptive parents' surname is Xie, and they are grain merchants at Shawan Wharf in Tanzhou Prefecture. They have treated me as their own over the years. But after my adoptive father passed away, my adoptive mother’s family was bullied by relatives. Out of help, she took me back to find my relatives.”
She still has to fight for this father.
No matter how much resentment you have in your heart, you must have a good relationship so that you can cope with the treatment you will receive next.
"It is indeed Tanzhou."
Under the sunlight, Lu Jie's eyes were very dark.
"Then you didn't go home, but found the Cheng family?"
Before Lu Jia could figure out what he meant, he asked again.
She coughed: "Because I don't dare to go back, I'm afraid you won't recognize me. But uncle is still my uncle after all, and he will definitely recognize me."
Lu Jie gave him an indescribable look.
Lu Jia simply put his head close and said, "Mrs. Lu doesn't know that you came here today, right? If the news comes to her later, she won't blame you, right?
"You have to be careful. She is the adopted daughter of Mr. Yan Ge. She has a distinguished status and cannot afford to offend her.
"Why don't you go back first? My daughter doesn't want to cause discord between you and your husband!"
Lu Jie glanced at her: "I haven't seen you for eleven years, and your mouth has become more and more sharp. Was it your uncle who ordered you, or was it your own idea?"
Lu Jia paused, then straightened up. "It's because the daughter can't bear to have her father in the middle and it's hard for her to be a good person." Lu Jie snorted.
Lu Jia added: "Anyway, the Lu family has long considered me, the eldest daughter, to be dead. How unlucky that I, a dead man, come back to disturb your lives. Just let me out to fend for myself!"
Lu Jia had done a good job in this drama of love, but Lu Jie didn't follow her routine and still held on to Cheng Wenhui: "Your uncle is a heartless and unrighteous person. He can disown all his relatives even if he turns his face. How could he suddenly go looking for you?" ?
"Even if he finds you, he may not pay attention to you because of his bad temper.
"I've known him since he wore crotchless pants. Apart from you, I've never met anyone who can lead him by the nose."
Lu Jia said seriously: "My uncle is my mother's brother and the only relative on my mother's side. He found me out of kindness. Why do you still scold him?"
Lu Jie snorted again.
Then he grabbed Lu Jia's wrist: "Go home."
Lu Jia broke free: "I won't answer!"
Lu Jie stopped and said, "Your mother's memorial tablet is still placed in the Lu family ancestral hall. As her only daughter, you would be unfilial if you don't go home."
Lu Jia gritted his teeth and rubbed his wrist: "You are amazing!"
She actually carried out her mother who had been dead for many years!
No wonder the official is prosperous and his methods are brilliant!
She glared: "You can go back if you want me to, but I have conditions!"
"Tell me." Lu Jie put his hands behind his back, "Do you want the moon or the stars?"
Pooh!
Lu Jia rolled his eyes: "Don't treat me like a child! I'm almost sixteen years old!
"I have been away from home for many years, and the Lu family has changed. I have only lived in the Lu family for five years, but others have lived there for more than ten years.
"I'm afraid that when I go back, I will obviously go back to my own home, but end up feeling like I'm living under someone else's roof!"
Lu Jie looked at her with a frown.
Lu Jia sighed: "If you insist on me going back, I can't disobey you.
"However, now the mistress of the Lu family is your house-filling wife, and I will be your stepdaughter after returning. You have an important job to take care of, so I think you will naturally leave me under her control.
“Since there are some things you don’t want to know, then I don’t have to say them.
"But she is not my biological mother. Think about it, how uncomfortable it would be for me to stay with her every day?
"I might as well not go back.
"I have very reliable followers, and they take care of everything. Or, you promise me, I will handle everything myself when I go back.
"Either, you will handle all my affairs yourself.
"Anyway, I don't want others to interfere in any of my affairs.
"I came home because I wanted to honor my father, not because I wanted to feel uncomfortable."
She shook her arm like she did when she was little.
Lu Jie looked at her for a moment, then his straight waist relaxed: "If you have a reliable person around you, you might as well take care of yourself."
"Thank you, father! But there is one more thing." Lu Jia thanked him and then added, "My adoptive mother and brother are already in the capital. My mother-in-law of the Xie family has raised me for so many years, and I have the responsibility to support her.
"Now, in order to send me back to Beijing, and because they can't worry about me, they plan to stay temporarily in the capital where they are unfamiliar with me.
“Both emotionally and rationally, I must take good care of them.
"So even if I return to the Lu family, I will still have to interact with my mother-in-law from time to time. You must promise me not to allow anyone to restrict my freedom."
Lu Jie sighed: "Is there any more?"
Lu Jia was silent for a moment, then smiled: "Apart from that, I am satisfied if my father can act impartially and impartially."
