Chapter 238 Do you know how the two uncles were born? (Ask for monthly ticket)
In Lu Jia's two lifetimes, no one had ever heard of anyone saying that Mrs. Lu's death was unusual, including the servants who stayed to take care of Lu Jia after her mother passed away.
So Jiang's words surprised her. If the Yan family took advantage of Mrs. Lu's illness to do something to her, how on earth did they do it?
What on earth did they do to their mother?
When Mrs. Lu was here, Lu Jie and Cheng Wenhui had a good relationship, so the Cheng family must have been present around the time of her mother's death.
When they arrived at the Cheng Mansion, Cheng Wenhui was squinting at Mrs. Cheng's orchids in the small garden: "They look like weeds on the roadside, what's the point? Why not plant some peonies and peonies."
Lu Jia walked in through the door just as Mrs. Cheng rolled her eyes at him.
After bowing to the two elders, Lu Jia directly explained his purpose to them.
"What did you say?" Cheng Wenhui was really shocked after hearing this. "You said your mother's death had something to do with the Yan family?"
Mrs. Cheng was also very surprised: "Although the Yan family is not a good person, this statement is a bit strange. When your mother was critically ill, your uncle was not around, so your grandmother and I stayed together until she died.
"She was cared for during the confinement period by her wet nurse and the maids who had been with her since she was a child.
"Moreover, at that time, the Lu family, the Cheng family, and the Yan family did not have any contact with each other, and your mother had no contact with the female relatives of the Yan family. Are you saying they poisoned them? Or assassinated them?"
Of course, assassination is impossible. Aren't there just a few evil spirits in the inner house? Poisoning is the most commonly used.
"Since it wasn't an assassination, and it couldn't have been poisoning, it could have been from other sources, right? Did you ask for help afterwards?"
"She suffered from hemorrhagic collapse during confinement. Several doctors have made the conclusion, but why do you still have to do it?" Mrs. Cheng was confused as she spoke.
But after saying this, her expression changed again.
Lu Jia saw the clues: "It is true that the cause of mother's death was hemorrhage. So, is there any trigger for her hemorrhage?"
Mrs. Cheng put down the peeled walnuts and stared blankly.
Lu Jia asked again: "Did my aunt think of something?"
Mrs. Cheng raised her eyes and couldn't help but glance at her husband.
Cheng Wenhui snorted, slapped the table, stood up and left.
Lu Jia was confused: "What happened to uncle?"
Mrs. Cheng put down the walnuts and said, "Girl, has your father ever told you how he and your uncle became what they became?"
Lu Jia looked calmly in the direction where Cheng Wenhui disappeared and shook his head. "You mean, this matter has something to do with my mother's death?"
"It's a big deal." Mrs. Cheng sighed, "Not long after your parents got married, your father had a classmate from Lingnan who brought his girl to Beijing and stayed at your house for a while. The girl's name was Qi Rulan——"
"...What?" When Lu Jia heard this, she hurriedly spat out the walnut meat that her aunt had given her, "Like 'Lan'?"
"That's right," Mrs. Cheng said deeply, "When Qi Rulan lived in the Lu family, she and your mother got along very well. After your mother was pregnant, this girl Qi often came to take care of you. Later, before you were born, because When Mr. Qi was appointed to an official position, the brother and sister moved out.
"Not long after that, Miss Qi suddenly came to look for your mother one day. At that time, your mother was in and out of health, and she was not getting better. It was quite likely to become a chronic disease.
"I often go to accompany her. That day, I was preparing soup and medicine for your mother. When I came back, I heard Qi Rulan kneeling beside your mother's bed and crying. "I didn't know what happened, so I didn't dare to go in. After she left, I saw Your mother turned pale and called her several times before she answered.
"Two days later, someone from the Lu family came and said that your mother was in bad condition and was bleeding profusely. I hurried over and the doctors were already here. Your grandparents and your father were all anxious.
"I won't talk about the middle part. Later, when she was dying, your mother was crying, pointing at your father and cursing him, saying that he had the heart of an animal and that anyone could be his wife. She even pulled out a letter from under the pillow and threw it at his face."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Li's face was full of resentment: "That letter was written by Qi Rulan, what did it say? She said she had an affair with your father when she was in the Lu family, and she didn't stop even after moving out! She was also pregnant with your father's child Flesh and blood, she asked your mother to marry her and make her a concubine
"And judging from the letter, it was sent that morning!"
"What?!"
Lu Jia stood up in shock. "She had a child with my father?"
"Of course, the child was not born." Mrs. Cheng hurriedly comforted her, "Your mother fainted after an attack and got worse afterwards.
"When we found out that your father - anyway, later your uncle found Qi Rulan under the city gate who was trying to leave the city. He couldn't help but move his hands, and the bitch fell to the ground. It is said that the child was gone. .”
Mrs. Cheng gritted her teeth when she said this: "You said that your mother is such a strong person, but she was very affectionate with your father, and they have only been married for a year! How can she bear this kind of anger?
"Your mother's vitality was damaged during childbirth, and later she passed away from a hemorrhage. The doctor said she died of illness, and we all accepted it. We just thought it was because the Qi family was not a good person.

"But you just said that the Jiang family implied that the Yan family had dirty hands in this matter. If you think about it, your mother's death can only be attributed to Qi Rulan's anger!
"Then the Qi family is most likely instigated by the Yan family!"
Lu Jia's heart was filled with turmoil, and every word of Mrs. Cheng's speculation clung to her thoughts!
Lu Jie never told her how he and Cheng Wenhui got along, and she always thought it was because of court affairs or old grudges.
Only then did she finally understand what was going on.
I finally know where this "lan" came from.
Why does a postpartum woman have to stay in confinement for three months? Of course it’s because I was injured during childbirth!
Just at the moment when he stepped into the gate of hell, the woman who was once a good friend suddenly came over and told her that she was having an affair with her husband, was pregnant, and wanted her to fulfill her wish! What's the difference between this and stabbing her in the heart with a knife?
This move of the Yan family is so sinister!
"I have to tell your uncle about this!"
After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she was so angry that she couldn't sit still.
Lu Jia hurriedly pulled her back: "Auntie, don't be anxious. I still need to confirm this matter. If uncle hears this, I'm afraid he will cause trouble."
When Mrs. Cheng heard about her husband's temper, she immediately calmed down a bit.
She asked: "What are you going to do?"
Lu Jia calmed down for a moment and said, "Since the Yan family has intervened, this debt cannot be erased."
Mrs. Cheng's eyes looked worried: "But the Yan family is so powerful, don't do stupid things!"
"No." After Lu Jia finished speaking, he looked at the sky outside the door and asked again: "By the way, can the Qi family be found?"
Mrs. Cheng's eyes were confused: "It's been more than ten years, I'm afraid it's hard to find."
