187. Homecoming(1/2)
"I'm sorry," Lu Zhe held Meng Xian's hand, but pushed her away firmly without looking back, and his voice was bitter, "We missed it after all."
Meng Xian ran up and blocked Lu Zhe's way. The water flashed in her eyes, "Lan Yu, do you know how long I have been waiting and how long I have been waiting for it before I met you? Life is so long, why did you miss it? You really don't have any pity for me?"
Lu Zhe closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, "Miss Meng, you like Lan Yu, but I am Lu Zhe. Lan Yu is just a dream of escaping reality. The fact is that my mother died of dying childbirth when I was born, and I have never seen her. I was born with a physical inseparable condition. My grandfather and father both disliked me. My stepmother and brothers and sisters regarded me as an ominous sign and avoided it. My grandmother only cared about her grandson. My uncle I thought I could rely on... It would be better if I didn't mention that person. In this Wan'an City, I have no friends to make friends with and no relatives to talk to. I have always been alone and just staying up."
"I am willing to ask my close friends to accompany you, but God will do it. Since I have married the Eighth Princess, I will be responsible to her. And she has my child in her belly. I cannot do anything to be sorry for her. This is one of them."
"Secondly, you are from a noble family, talented and beautiful, and your family cares for you. It is because of pity for you that I cannot pull you into the quagmire of my life. This is too unfair to you. Just think that I will never go tonight, and bye to the future, I will still be a stranger."
After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he looked at Meng Xian, who couldn't help but shake his head with tears, and reached out, as if he wanted to help her wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. He then suddenly stopped, glanced at his cold iron hand, sighed deeply, took two steps quickly, opened the window, and jumped out.
Meng Xian chased to the window, but saw a strong figure. In a few jumps, he disappeared under the dark night, leaving only the sound of the wind roaring, as if nothing had happened.
Meng Xian closed the window, turned around, slid on the ground, hugged her knees, and started crying.
She used to think she was very happy, but what happened recently made her feel very distressed.
Lu Zhe's life was filled with pain. She wanted to comfort him and relieve the trauma in his heart, but after all, did she miss it?
Meng Xian was unwilling to give up.
She suddenly remembered that every time he saw Lu Zhe, he seemed to have hidden hidden feelings in his eyes when he looked at her, but she knew nothing about it and rejected him very much.
Now that I think about it, Meng Xian regrets and blames herself. She is not a person who judges people by appearance like Rong Yuanqiu. She loves Mr. Lan Yu’s books and also loves the words behind Mr. Lan Yu’s words. The person who sees through the world and is still kind and firm. No matter what his identity is, no matter what his appearance is, the soberness and excellence revealed by those words makes Meng Xian fascinated.
In the past, Meng Xian didn't know Lu Zhe, but the Lu Zhe she met tonight would get rid of Bai Shu who was committing evil for her, leaving no clues. She didn't dislike her when marrying a woman like Jun Lingxin, and was still responsible for her and was a good husband. She obviously liked Meng Xian, but she couldn't bear to let her suffer with him and didn't want to let anyone down...
Everything made Meng Xian feel pity and sympathy, and she couldn't let go.
Even though Jun Lingxin is his wife, how can a superficial woman who is so arrogant, arrogant and unreasonable, and who is desperate for Su Mo to understand his heart? Jun Lingxin's existence will be a deeper and heavier torture for him.
Such a good young master Lan Yu should not have lived such a hard life. She wanted to be by his side so that he would no longer be alone.
This thought grew like wild grass in Meng Xian's mind.
She looked up and wiped her eyes dry, and her eyes gradually became firmer...
Lu Zhe quietly returned to his residence, lifted the curtain of the bed, and saw Jun Lingxin lying quietly inside, but she trembled her hands and betrayed herself.
Lu Zhe sat down beside the bed, grabbed Jun Lingxin's hand, and put it on his face, "Is Xin'er waiting for me?"
Jun Lingxin had to open her eyes, but her eyes dodged, "I...I just can't sleep..."
"Why don't you ask where I'm going?" Lu Zhe smiled.
Jun Lingxin couldn't see Lu Zhe laughing. Every time he smiled, Jun Lingxin felt creepy because it would never happen.
"Where have you... been?" Jun Lingxin asked according to Lu Zhe's "instructions".
Lu Zhe played with Jun Lingxin's hand and said in a quiet tone, "I'll help you find a sister to accompany you, what do you think?"
Jun Lingxin was stunned, and after a moment, she realized what Lu Zhe was saying. She was startled first, and then a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, "Really?"
Lu Zhe's expression suddenly became gloomy. He leaned over and approached Jun Lingxin, and asked in her ear, "Why are you so happy? Can't wait to push your husband to someone else? Do you hate me so much?"
Jun Lingxin was so scared that she almost burst into tears. She kept shaking her head and begging, "No...I don't..."
When Lu Zhe saw Jun Lingxin's panic, he seemed to be pleased, he suddenly let go of her, sat up straight, and curled his lips slightly, "I just teased you just now. Look at you being so brave, be careful in the future and don't hurt our children."
Jun Lingxin nodded reluctantly, but she didn't dare to ask what Lu Zhe meant before? Which lady did he fall in love with?
But Jun Lingxin is not pretending. When Lu Zhe said she wanted to find her a "sister", Jun Lingxin was really looking forward to it. Because she was under tremendous psychological pressure under Lu Zhe's nose every day, and she lived like a year. If Lu Zhe changed her goals, she would be able to live a more relaxed life.
Lu Zhe did not say it clearly, just testing Jun Lingxin's attitude.
As for Meng Xian, the fish has already bitten the hook, Lu Zhe is bound to win. Those who move Meng Xian and those who are moved are just Lu Zhe's tricks to get.
He knew very well what kind of man would a man who would be self-righteous as Meng Xian like.
Pretending to be a young master Lan Yu, Lu Zhe took a momentary idea after picking up Meng Xian’s hair accessories today.
And such a thing is not difficult for Lu Zhe, because he has also read the book by Mr. Lan Yu.
The identity of Mr. Lan Yu is enough to conquer Meng Xian, but that is fake after all. Lu Zhe did not intend to write poems and tell stories with Meng Xian. To let Meng Xian transfer his feelings for Lan Yu to Lu Zhe, he must do something.
First, use Bai Shu's death to win Meng Xian's favor, then use his experience to win Meng Xian's sympathy, and confess, but also refuse, saying that it is for her good.
Lu Zhe thought that Meng Xian's stupid woman should be thinking about what to do to be with him now.
Lu Zhe did not like Meng Xian. Although it was true that he once wanted to marry Meng Xian, it was just because of Meng Xian's origin that Lu Zhe wanted to marry a real noble daughter from a noble family and find help for himself through marriage.
This opportunity is now a must-see for Lu Zhe, but it also makes him feel very interesting.
What kind of golden branches and jade leaves are famous girls? There are always those who are confused about their minds, which are just suitable for Lu Zhe to play the toys.
It's dawn.
Marquis Bai set out back to Beijing with Bai Shu's body, who died tragically yesterday.
Bai Qi, who won the first place in the riding and shooting competition yesterday, should have gone hunting with the sage today. That was his dream opportunity to make a comeback, but because his younger brother Bai Shu died, all Bai Qi's hard work was in vain.
Last night, the Bai family had an argument next to Bai Shu's body.
The queen means to let Bai Qi stay, and the opportunity should not be missed. If you miss this opportunity, the emperor is afraid that he will promote another adopted son of Rong Lan.
Mr. Bai thought it was inappropriate. Of course, he knew that this opportunity was rare, but Bai Shu died and Bai Qi continued to stay to hunt. What would Jun Zhaolin think of him? How would others think of the Bai family?
After the final dispute, it was decided that everyone in the Bai family would go back to Beijing together and ask Bai Qi to give up this opportunity. Because if Jun Zhaolin thought that he was eager for quick success and didn't even care about his brother's death, how could he have a chance to stand out in the future?
From the second prince of the queen and the Bai family, they all hated Prime Minister Meng's mansion because they insisted that Bai Shu's death must be related to Meng Xian's incident.
After Meng Li entered the palace, her favor remained strong. The queen had originally been incompatible with her, and now she treated her as a thorn in her eyes.
When Bai Qi set out to leave the Ulan paddock, he looked back and his face was gloomy, "I must make the Meng family pay the blood debt!"
"Accidentally" death of a person will not affect other people's interest in hunting.
Rong Yuanlong specially wore the new clothes that Rong Lan made for him today, and the handsome young man was full of energy.
"Oh! I didn't prepare a horse for my brother-in-law! What should I do?" Rong Yuanlang pretended to be upset, "Sister, the emperor said you must go, but you can't leave your brother-in-law alone. He can't see it during the day. What if someone comes to assassinate?"
"Yes, Qiu'er, what should I do?" Su Mo asked Yuan Qiu.
"Brother-in-law can follow me..." Rong Yuanshun was covered by Rong Yuanlang before he finished speaking.
"I will ride together with Ashun, and Su Mo rides your flying fish." Yuan Qiu said.
"That won't work. Ashun's horse is too small and can't carry two people." Rong Yuanlang shook his head firmly.
"I ride a horse myself, and I can't see the road, and I will lose it." Su Mo chuckled.
Yuan Qiu was speechless, "I tied you with a rope. Can you run behind the horse? I will definitely not be able to lose this way."
Rong Yuanlang laughed, "I think it's OK, I like it!"
Rong Yuanshun blinked, "Sister, that will make people think you are a bad guy who plays the fairy brother at home every day, right?"
Yuan Qiu:...
Neither Rong Yuanlong nor Rong Yuanshun could bring Su Mo with him. In order not to be regarded as a pervert who beat Su Tianxian at home every day for fun, Yuan Qiu finally had to agree to ride with Su Mo.
As soon as he got on the horse, Yuan Qiu sat in front of Su Mo. Su Mo reached out and wrapped her slender waist, measured it carefully, and sighed again, "Why are you so thin?"
With such intimacy, Yuan Qiu's face suddenly turned red and his heartbeat was not controlled.
When he refused at first, Yuan Qiu thought of leaning together so closely, and felt that he could not accept it for the time being.
"Qiu'er, what are you afraid of?" Su Mo lowered his head, and a smile sounded in Yuan Qiu's ears. Although he was blindfolded, he seemed to see through Yuan Qiu's thoughts.
Yuan Qiu hummed lightly and elbowed Su Mo backwards, "Keep the distance and sit down, are you boneless?"
"I can't see it, I'm afraid of falling down." Su Mo was confident and hugged Yuanqiu even tighter. The little girl smells so fragrant, soft and cute.
The hunting began, Zhu Jinnian and Rong Yuanlang followed Jun Zhaolin, and the prince Jun Ziyu and the second prince Jun Ziwu were both one step behind.
Yuan Qiu is behind. If anyone is injured, she will be on standby at any time.
"Ashun, don't run away." Yuan Qiu reminded Rong Yuanshun.
But I heard a shout from the front, "The Sixth Master of Duke Xuanrong's Mansion comes up!"
"Call me! Sister, you have fun with Brother Tianxian!" Rong Yuanshun's eyes lit up, and he waved his horse whip and ran over happily.
Yuan Qiu watched Rong Yuanshun run to Rong Yuanlang from a distance. He didn't know what Jun Zhaolin said, and a burst of laughter came.
"Qiu'er, do you want to hunt?" Su Mo asked. He was Yuan Qiu's bow and arrow on his back.
"I originally thought, forget it, there are too many people here, and I can't run away, so I'll talk about it another day." Yuan Qiu shook his head slightly.
The emperor's hunting ground was cleaned up in advance. For safety reasons, wild animals that were too fierce have been removed or driven out, but there must be enough animals, such as wild deer, wild goats, pheasants and hares.
To put it bluntly, it is just a gathering of venues and letting the emperor play wild game for fun.
Yuan Qiu turned his head and saw Meng Xian.
Meng Xian only learned how to ride a horse this year, but she was still a guest at the Sixth Prince's Mansion. Rong Yuanruo taught him, obviously he didn't have the chance to practice afterwards, and he was still a little unfamiliar.
She was wearing a delicate and beautiful lake blue outfit, which attracted several young men to look at each other frequently. But because of Bai Shu, those people looked at Meng Xian with frivolous eyes.
After all, as a scholarly lady, when she encountered such a thing, she looked unaffected and indifferent, which naturally makes people think that she doesn't care about her reputation.
Meng Xian also saw Yuan Qiu, and her eyes fell on Su Mo behind Yuan Qiu, and withdrew her gaze expressionlessly, without any intention of saying hello.
"Miss, let's go back?" Meng Xian's maid noticed those bad gazes and felt embarrassed.
"Why do you want to go back?" Meng Xian frowned and glanced around. She didn't see Lu Zhe's shadow. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Forget it, go back."
