Lu Youtang lit the fairy wand and put it in Yuan'er's hand. His eyes were shining as he looked at her expectantly.
The sparks in her hand surprised Yuan'er. She had never seen such a rare thing before, but for the Lu family, coming from the capital, it was normal for them to have such rare things. She soon became indifferent.
Seeing Lu Youtang's expectant look, Yuan'er nodded and smiled, "It looks good."
Lu Youtang was immediately happy!
The two little girls looked very happy and played together.
However, Gu Xingzhao discovered that the little girl named Yuan'er was clearly not interested, but was pretending to like him because she didn't want to disappoint Lu Youtang.
The other kids were so excited to see such a rare toy, just like the older ones like Lu Xingyao who couldn't let it go.
If they don't like it, it's nothing strange, but other children won't pretend to like it.
In such a comparison, Yuan'er's reaction was really not like that of a ten-year-old child.
Even though she just lost her mother.
Gu Xingzhao thought back to what Lu Qing had told him about Yuan'er, and then looked at the child's current appearance. He couldn't help but suspect that there might be something wrong with Yuan'er's origins.
Thinking of this, she went to find Lu Qing and warned him, "Lu Qing, have someone pay more attention to that little girl named Yuan'er to prevent her from having any bad intentions."
Lu Qing was shocked. When he first accepted Yuan'er, he was also worried that Yuan'er was instructed to approach him. He found two people to keep an eye on her for two days before he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her and she had never come into contact with anyone. She was indeed just an ordinary girl.
But the ancestor suddenly said this, is there really something wrong with Yuan'er?
"I wonder if the ancestor has noticed anything wrong?"
Gu Xingzhao pursed his lips and said, "This child is pretending to be nice. He doesn't look like an ordinary child. He is most likely trying to get close to me on purpose."
She remembered that when she first saw this girl beside Lu Qing, she was not like this now. Her timid yet sad look did not arouse any suspicion at all.
But without Lu Qing, she is now a completely different person.
If this person did not approach me on purpose, his words and actions show that he is a person with serious thoughts. He has such thoughts at such a young age. If he is not guided, he may cause trouble in the future.
Lu Qing was silent for a moment. The words of his ancestors could not be false. It seemed that there must be something wrong with Yuan'er.
"Don't worry, my ancestors. I understand."
After Gu Xingzhao left, Lu Qing called his sons and grandsons over and repeated what his ancestor had just said, "Have you noticed anything unusual about her in the past two days?"
Lu Zhou thought for a moment and said, "My son didn't notice anything. Maybe it's because he lost his mother. He doesn't like to talk much."
Lu Qing looked at his eldest grandson, "When you went to look for her mother that day, did you find anything unusual?"
Lu Xingyao thought about it carefully and shook his head. "My grandson had just seen the person and hadn't even spoken a word before he died."
If you think about it carefully, if there is really something wrong with this little girl, it is not certain whether that person is her mother.
Just as Lu Xingyan was about to speak, Lu Yang next to him frowned and said angrily, "There must be something wrong with this woman!"
Suddenly, everyone looked at Lu Yang.
Lu Xingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Lu Qing asked his second son in a deep voice, "Second son, what did you find?"
Lu Yang was unhappy, "This girl is so scheming, she coaxed my Tang'er so much that she doesn't even want her biological father anymore, and she revolves around her!"
"We have to stick together even when we eat!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the tent were choked with speech.
Lu Qing: "." I shouldn't expect this good-for-nothing son to say anything useful.
Lu Xingyao: "." It's obvious that Second Uncle is unhappy because his daughter ignores him.
Lu Zhou: "." It's really embarrassing for my second brother to be jealous of a child.
Lu Xingyan coughed lightly, "Father, since Youtang has had a lot of contact with this girl, why not call her over and ask her, maybe you can find out something?"
Lu Qing nodded.
Lu Yang on the side volunteered, "I'll go!"
Lu Qing glanced at him and said, "Just stay here."
As he said this, he looked at his eldest grandson and said, "Yao'er, you go."
Lu Xingyao immediately walked out of the tent to look for someone.
Lu Yang: "???" No, I'm the child's father, why don't you let me go?
However, no one in the tent could help him solve his puzzle.
When Lu Xingyao went to find Lu Youtang, he discovered that his little cousin was holding the things that their ancestors had given her and teaching Yuan'er how to read. She seemed to be very serious about it.
A person who finds studying too tiring to teach others how to study?
He pursed his lips, remembering how he had just asked his little cousin for fireworks but was rejected, and had instead given them to this Yuan'er.
No wonder my second uncle was dissatisfied.
Lu Xingyao walked over, grabbed his little cousin by the back of her collar, carried her up, and walked back without even bothering to say hello.
Lu Youtang was so frightened that he struggled on his shoulders, "Brother, what are you doing?"
Lu Xingyao didn't want to scare his younger sister, so he explained, "Grandfather is looking for you for something, don't shout."
When he heard that it was his grandfather looking for him, Lu Youtang immediately shut up and let himself be carried obediently.
In the tent, several elders looked at him kindly. Lu Youtang looked innocent and asked for help from Lu Yang, "Daddy."
Lu Yang immediately comforted his daughter, "Don't be afraid, dear girl. Your grandfather called you here just to ask about Yuan'er."
Lu Youtang was puzzled, "Yuan'er?"
Facing his granddaughter, Lu Qing was always much gentler than before, and whispered softly, "Tang'er, you and Yuan'er are close, tell grandfather, how is Yuan'er these days, what have you done?"
When he asked this, Lu Youtang thought that everyone was concerned about Yuan'er. He thought about what happened in the past few days and said, "We eat and sleep together. I just set off fireworks for her. She was very happy!"
Lu Xingyao's forehead twitched. Look, where has his little cousin's elbow gone?
Lu Youtang: "I also taught her to read and write, but she didn't like it very much."
Thinking of this, the little girl's tone was a little disappointed, but soon her eyes lit up again, "But we agreed that we would study with Mr. Liu together!"
Lu Yang felt heartbroken. Look how wronged his daughter was. She was so happy studying. I'm afraid she must have become stupid.
Lu Qing asked again, "So what do you think of her? Do you like her?"
Lu Youtang nodded, "My granddaughter likes it, but she likes Sister Shunyu more and always wants to talk to Sister Shunyu."
Lu Qing's eyes darkened, "You mean, she often looks for Shunyu?"
Lu Youtang: "Yes! But don't worry, Grandfather. You said that Sister Shunyu is going to do great things. Your granddaughter didn't bother her, nor did she let Yuan'er bother Sister Shunyu!"
As she spoke, she patted her chest proudly.
