My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 128 This woman is definitely suspicious!

Lu Youtang lit the sparkler and handed it to Yuan'er, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her expectantly.

The spark in her hand surprised Yuan'er; she had never seen such a strange object before. However, given that the Lu family came from the capital, it was normal for them to have such rare items. She quickly calmed down.

Seeing the expectant look in Lu Youtang's eyes, Yuan'er nodded and smiled, "It looks good."

Lu Youtang was immediately delighted!

The two little girls looked very happy and played together.

Gu Xingzhao discovered that the little girl named Yuan'er was clearly not interested; she was only pretending to like it because she didn't want to disappoint Lu Youtang.

The other children were so delighted by this unusual thing that they didn't want to leave. Even the older ones, like Lu Xingyao, couldn't put it down.

It's not strange if they don't like it, but other children don't pretend to like it.

In comparison, Yuan'er's reaction was really not like that of a ten-year-old child.

Even though she had just lost her mother.

Gu Xingzhao recalled what Lu Qing had told him about Yuan'er, and looking 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 instructed him, "Lu Qing, please have someone keep a close eye on that girl named Yuan'er to prevent her from having any bad intentions."

Lu Qing was shocked. When he first took Yuan'er in, he was worried that she was being instructed by someone to approach him. He sent two people to keep an eye on her for two days before confirming that she was not suspicious and had not been in contact with anyone. She was indeed just an ordinary girl.

But if our ancestors suddenly said that, could it be that there really is something wrong with that kite?
"Did our ancestors notice anything amiss?"

Gu Xingzhao pursed his lips. "This child is pretending to please people. He doesn't seem like an ordinary child. He is very likely approaching people on purpose."

She remembered that when she first saw this girl next to Lu Qing, the girl was not like this now. She looked timid yet sad, which made it impossible for anyone to suspect anything.

But without Lu Qing, she is a completely different person now.

If this person did not approach us intentionally, their words and actions reveal a very calculating mind. To have such thoughts at such a young age, if not guided properly, could lead to future trouble.

Lu Qing paused for a moment. The words of his ancestors were not false. It seemed that Yuan'er must have a problem.

"Rest assured, my ancestor, I understand."

After Gu Xingzhao left, Lu Qing called his sons and grandsons over and relayed what their ancestor had just said: "Have you noticed anything unusual about her these past two days?"

Lu Zhou thought back for a moment, "I didn't notice anything with my son. Perhaps it's because of the loss of his mother that he doesn't talk much."

Lu Qing looked at Changsun and asked, "When you went to look for her mother that day, did you notice anything unusual?"

Lu Xingyao thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "My grandson had just met the person, but before he could even say a word, the person died."

Upon closer reflection, if this little girl really has a problem, it's not even certain whether that person is her mother.

Just as Lu Xingyan was about to speak, Lu Yang, standing beside him, put on a stern face, his expression displeased, and said angrily, "This woman definitely has a problem!"

Immediately, everyone looked at Lu Yang.

Lu Xingyan raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Lu Qing asked his second son in a deep voice, "Second son, what have you discovered?"

Lu Yang looked displeased. "That little girl is too scheming. She's been flattering my Tang'er so much that she doesn't even want her own father anymore and everyone revolves around her!"

They even stick together while eating!

Upon hearing this, the people inside the tent were speechless.

Lu Qing: "." He shouldn't have expected this good-for-nothing son to say anything useful. Lu Xingyao: "." His second uncle was clearly unhappy because his daughter wasn't paying attention to 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 quite a bit of contact with this woman, why don't we call her over and ask her? Perhaps we can find out something."

Lu Qing nodded.

Lu Yang, who was standing to the side, volunteered, "I'll go!"

Lu Qing glanced at him but said, "You stay here."

As he said this, he looked at his eldest grandson, "Yao'er, you go."

Lu Xingyao immediately went out of the tent to look for the person.

Lu Yang: "???" No, I'm the child's father, why can't I go?

However, no one in the tent could answer his question.

When Lu Xingyao went to find Lu Youtang, he found his little cousin teaching Yuan'er to read with the things their ancestors had given her. She seemed to be doing it very seriously.

How can someone who finds reading too tiring to read himself be teaching others to read?
He pursed his thin lips, recalling how he had been refused when he asked his younger cousin for fireworks, and how he had given them to this girl, Yuan'er, instead.

No wonder my second uncle was dissatisfied.

Lu Xingyao walked over, grabbed his little cousin by the back of her collar, hoisted her up, and walked back without even saying goodbye.

Lu Youtang was terrified, her small body struggling against his shoulder, "Big brother, what are you doing!"

Lu Xingyao didn't mean to frighten his younger sister, and explained, "Grandfather is looking for you, so don't shout."

Upon hearing that it was her grandfather looking for her, Lu Youtang immediately shut her mouth and obediently let him carry her.

Inside the tent, several elders looked at her with kind eyes. Lu Youtang looked innocent and pleadingly at Lu Yang, "Father."

Lu Yang immediately comforted his daughter, "Don't be afraid, my dear. Your grandfather called you here to ask about that Yuan'er."

Lu Youtang asked in confusion, "Yuan'er?"

When facing his granddaughter, Lu Qing was always much gentler than before, speaking softly, "Tang'er, you and Yuan'er are close, tell your grandfather, how has Yuan'er been these past few days? What have you both been doing?"

When he asked this, Lu Youtang thought everyone was concerned about Yuan'er. Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, she said, "We ate and slept together. I even set off fireworks for her just now, and she was very happy!"

Lu Xingyao's brow twitched. Look, where has his little cousin sided with?

Lu Youtang: "I also taught her to read and write, but she didn't really like it."

Thinking of this, the little girl's tone was a little disappointed, but her eyes quickly brightened again, "But we promised that we would study together with Mr. Liu!"

Lu Yang was heartbroken. Look how wronged his daughter was. She was so happy about studying, she was probably going to go crazy from studying.

Lu Qing then asked, "So what do you think of her? Do you like her?"

Lu Youtang nodded. "My granddaughter likes it, but she prefers Sister Shunyu and always wants to talk to her."

Lu Qing's gaze darkened. "You mean, she often sees Shunyu?"

Lu Youtang: "Yes! But Grandfather, don't worry. You said that Sister Shunyu is going to do something important, so I didn't disturb her, nor did I ask Yuan'er to disturb her!"

As she spoke, she proudly patted her chest.
