It wasn't until a few days ago that it was finally finished.

Then Lu Xiao moved in.

This is Minglan's first time here, so she asked this question.

Lu Xiao said, "Yes, this place was just renovated a few days ago. It will be your home from now on. I brought you here today to show you around. However, this isn't the surprise I was talking about. There's more to it than that."

Minglan blushed again. "What kind of family are you recognizing? Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense."

The sound is as small as a mosquito.

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Hahaha, of course I have to. You're going to marry into this family sooner or later anyway. How embarrassing it would be if you didn't even recognize your own home by then. Come on, let's go in."

After saying this, he took Minglan's hand and walked straight into the new home.

This is your own territory, so behave more intimately and don't be afraid of being seen by outsiders.

Minglan had long been accustomed to Lu Xiao's domineering behavior.

So she let Lu Xiao hold her hand.

Along the way, the girl looked left and right like a curious baby.

From time to time there would be bursts of exclamations.

When Lu Xiao was renovating this house, he had considered the aesthetics of later generations.

Therefore, there are many things in the house that are not available in this era.

Not to mention Minglan, even if Zhao Zhen came, he would be shocked.

Chapter 380: Reunion with Old Friends

After entering the gate, Lu Xiao led Minglan forward and soon arrived at a small courtyard in the inner house.

Then Lu Xiao pointed to the small courtyard.

“The surprise is inside.”

Minglan looked at Lu Xiao suspiciously, and after a long while she spoke.

"You're not going to do anything bad to me, are you?"

In broad daylight, he secretly took the woman to his backyard.

The person in front of him was Lu Xiao.

If it were anyone else, Minglan would never dare to follow.

I swear to God, Lu Xiao truly has no bad intentions.

This girl's brain circuit is really different.

Then he gently raised his hand and tapped Minglan's forehead: "What are you imagining? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already thinking about love, right?"

The word "Thinking of Spring" immediately made Minglan blush.

The chubby face instantly became like a cooked crab, and it felt hot just by looking at it.

Minglan raised her fist and hit Lu Xiao's arm hard, then shouted shyly.

"Brother-in-law, don't talk nonsense, I didn't, I didn't..."

She still didn't dare to say those two words.

Lu Xiao smiled mischievously and said, "Nothing?"

Minglan immediately turned her head away: "Hmph, I'm ignoring you."

After saying this, she stepped into the courtyard.

The yard was very quiet, nothing special.

Lu Xiao pointed at the door.

Minglan then stepped forward.

At this moment the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Then a figure rushed out and hugged Minglan.

"Kid, I always miss you."

After seeing this person, Minglan was dumbfounded.

"aunt?"

That's right, the person in the room is Minglan's mother's younger sister, and also her aunt.

As soon as the two met, they hugged each other and wiped away their tears before they had exchanged a few words.

After a long while, Minglan calmed down and asked curiously.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

Although her aunt would send her some things from her hometown in Yangzhou every year, the last time they met was many years ago.

Back then, after her mother died in childbirth, if her aunt hadn't come to the Sheng family and caused a scene, given her circumstances at the time, she might not have been raised by Old Madam Sheng.

If she hadn't been protected by Old Madam Sheng when she was little, she might have died in an accident.

Child death is a common occurrence these days.

Even the royal family was not immune, let alone other families.

Aunt Wei wiped her tears and then looked at Lu Xiao and said.

"It was the Marquis who brought us here from Yangzhou."

After hearing this, Minglan turned her head and looked at Lu Xiao with tears in her eyes.

"Brother-in-law~"

The voice was soft and full of gratitude.

Lu Xiao smiled and said, "We're getting married soon, so naturally we have to inform your mother and her family. It's nothing."

Having said that, how many men in this era can think of this?

After all, her mother was just a concubine.

And he is no longer alive.

Minglan immediately said, "No matter what, I still want to say thank you for meeting my aunt."

At this moment she suddenly thought of what her aunt had just said.

Then she asked curiously.

"Aunt, did you say we?"

Aunt Wei smiled and said, "Yes, it's us. Look who this is?"

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and another person came out of the house.

A young woman in simple clothing.

After seeing this person, a hint of doubt flashed across Minglan's eyes.

Then he shouted uncertainly.

"Sister Xiaodie?"

When the young woman heard Minglan's name, she couldn't stop her tears from falling.

"girl."

While calling Minglan, he rushed over and grabbed Minglan's hand tightly.

Fluttershy.

Minglan's mother's personal maid.

When they were still in Yangzhou, Lin Qinshuang deliberately made things difficult for Minglan's mother, Wei Xiaoniang.

She also framed Wei Xiaoniang's personal maid for stealing. In the end, Xiaodie was saved by Wei Xiaoniang's desperate pleas, but was expelled from the Sheng family.

When they were young, Minglan and Xiaodie had a very deep relationship.

Even after many years, this has not changed.

"Girl, how come you've grown so big?"

Xiaodie held Minglan's hand, her eyes filled with tears as she looked her up and down.

Minglan was also very excited at this moment and could not help but hug Xiaodie.

"Sister Xiaodie."

Xiaodie cried and laughed at the same time: "Did that little girl Xiaotao take good care of you?"

Minglan nodded repeatedly: "She takes good care of me. She is outside."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two finally calmed down. Xiaodie then pulled Minglan into the house and said anxiously.

"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down."

It seemed as if he was afraid of tiring Minglan out.

Then she looked carefully at Minglan's face again.

"It's really beautiful! If my wife knew that you are living such a good life now and found someone who loves you so much, she would definitely be very happy."

After saying this, she turned around and bowed deeply to Lu Xiao.

"Thank you, my Lord!"

Lu Xiao said, "Get up. My family doesn't have so many rules. My kindness to Minglan is only natural. No need to thank me."

Xiaodie then stood up, took out a handkerchief, and turned to Minglan.

"For so many years, I have always wanted to return this to the girl. This is my only dowry, and it must be brought along with the girl when she gets married."

As she spoke, Xiaodie opened her handkerchief.

Wrapped inside was a silver bracelet.

Although the bracelet is not expensive, it has a different meaning.

After all, this thing is the only relic of Minglan's mother.

After seeing the bracelet, Minglan was excited at first, and then she couldn't help asking Xiaodie.

"You, you didn't use the silver?"

She remembered clearly that when Xiaodie was driven out of the Sheng family, her mother was worried that she would be left alone and sold off by her family members after returning home, so she gave her only dowry to Xiaodie to use as a living.

But she never expected that Xiaodie would keep the bracelet until now.

She could fully imagine that Xiaodie must have suffered a lot later on.

"Then, how are you doing?"

Minglan's eyes were filled with heartache.

After hearing her words, Xiaodie said.

"It's okay. In a peaceful and prosperous world, there are always ways to survive."

This sounds like comforting words.

When Lu Xiao sent people to find Xiaodie, she was not doing well.

Xiaodie's parents died when she was young.

The only relative left is an uncle.

However, her uncle was a gambler, and it was he who sold Xiaodie to the Sheng family.

After Xiaodie was driven out of the Sheng family, she naturally understood her uncle's character.

Once she goes back, she will definitely be unable to escape the fate of being bought again.

In the first few years, she could only find some rough jobs like laundry to make a living.

But later, the news that she was kicked out of the Sheng family reached her gambling uncle, No. 2 Middle School.

So her uncle brought people and tried to take her back home by force.
