21. Punishment
Lu Zhengxing's cold gaze fell on Lu Cheng, who spoke. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info though this is also his son, and is the youngest of the youngest. To be honest, Lu Zhengxing doesn't have too deep feelings for Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng and Lu Zijin were originally people who shouldn't exist.
At the beginning, although the holy decree pointed to marrying Qi Mingzhu as his wife, Lu Zhengxing took over the will, but at that time, he had already decided that he would never let Qi Mingzhu give birth to his own child.
Therefore, after the wedding night, Lu Zhengxing asked people to prepare a child avoidance soup and quietly let Qi Mingzhu drink it. Who knew that Qi Mingzhu entered the palace early in the morning of the second day to meet the Queen Mother, and was in the palace until the afternoon of the third day before returning.
Lu Zhengxing didn't expect that Qi Mingzhu's luck was really so good. In just one night, she became pregnant. After October, she gave birth to Lu Zijin.
If Lu Zijin was caused by Lu Zhengxing's own carelessness and failure to let Qi Mingzhu drink the avoidance soup in time, then Lu Cheng was completely designed by Qi Mingzhu.
For Lu Zijin, because she is a daughter and has always been well-behaved, Lu Zhengxing still has a little fatherly heart. So for Lu Cheng, although Lu Zhengxing doesn't say he is disgusted, he is almost a stranger.
At this time, hearing Lu Cheng's words containing indignation, Lu Zhengxing unexpectedly hooked the corners of his mouth, revealing an unpredictable smile.
"This is the son you tried to give birth to?" The mocking words spat out from Lu Zhengxing's mouth, and his gaze also looked at Qi Mingzhu with the words.
Hearing such merciless words, Qi Mingzhu's face turned white, and even slowly turned blue.
It's humiliation. This is Lu Zhengxing's naked humiliation of himself!
Qi Mingzhu bit her lower lip tightly with her teeth, not even daring to make a sound. She was afraid that as soon as she spoke, she would scream hysterically.
Looking at Qi Mingzhu's appearance, Lu Chenxi felt very strange in his heart. I don't know what my father's words meant, why did Qi Mingzhu become like this as soon as he finished speaking.
There are also doubts about Lu Zijin.
He always knew that compared to himself, his father was even more cold to his younger brother. But it is clear that the younger brother is a son, why is the father's attitude like this? After many times of figuring it out, Lu Zijin went to ask Qi Mingzhu the reason.
I didn't expect that my mother, who has always doted on me, would be secretive about this issue. If you ask too much, you will reprimand yourself harshly.
So, what is the meaning of my father's words just now? Lu Zijin fell into deep thought, could it be the reason why his father didn't like Brother Cheng'er?
Looking at the group of people who fell silent, Qin Wanxiao couldn't tell what mood he was in. Originally, he should have hated Qi Mingzhu.
I hate her for robbing her husband, I hate her for destroying her home, I hate her for shattering the dream of a lifetime and a couple that she has had since she was a child.
But as a result, he only had disdain for her.
Lu Zhengxing showed with his actions that he was still the good man who loved himself and devoted himself to the past, and he did not let himself down. Although the birth of Lu Zijin and Lu Cheng made him feel uncomfortable, it was not entirely his fault.
Moreover, Lu Zhengxing is actually very self-blaming.
From his unconditional tolerance and love for Qin Wanxiao over the years; from his redoubling love and concern for the children of the two; From the fact that he took great care of the Qin family and believed in the Qin family, it can be seen that he blames himself.
Qin Wanxiao actually didn't complain about him for a long time. She doesn't hate Qi Mingzhu anymore.
She had long regarded Qi Mingzhu as if he didn't exist.
But Qi Mingzhu is not interested, and always jumps out from time to time to express her sense of existence.
"Since we're all here, let's sit down and eat together. Didn't Sister Jin just say that she wanted to be close to her brothers?"
In the end, it was Qin Wanxiao who opened her mouth to break the silence.
In this moment, Qi Mingzhu had suppressed all his emotions, and Lu Zijin had also come back to his senses.
"Then thank you mother." Lu Zijin hurriedly pulled Lu Cheng to salute Qin Wanxiao, but Lu Cheng was reluctant, and he muttered something in his mouth.
arranged for Mama Zhang to bring people to add more dishes and chopsticks, and Qin Wanxiao asked Qi Mingzhu's mother and son to sit down.
Qi Mingzhu sat next to Qin Wanxiao, and on the other side of Qin Wanxiao was Lu Zhengxing.
She wanted to sit with Lu Zhengxing, but Lu Zhengxing, who was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, specially instructed her to put them next to Qin Wanxiao, and Mama Zhang agreed very happily and put them on the table.
Lu Cheng was arranged to sit next to Lu Zhi, and behind him stood his nurse, looking like she was ready to give him vegetables at any time.
Lu Zijin himself asked to sit next to Lu Chenxi.
Because she was a girl and usually behaved well-behaved, Qin Wanxiao didn't embarrass her, and immediately agreed.
Lu Chenxi secretly slandered in his heart, but he didn't say much.
Although the good mood of the meal was disturbed before, after all, the dining table was full of the favorite dishes of the father, daughter, brother and sister carefully prepared by Qin Wanxiao, so after Qi Mingzhu and the three of them sat down, everyone still picked up the chopsticks and continued to use them.
"This magnolia ham and chicken soup is stewed very well," Lu Zijin silently leaned closer to Lu Chenxi, and pointed to a bowl of soup in front of him: "I heard that this is my sister's favorite drink?" ”
Lu Chenxi didn't know what Lu Zijin wanted to set up, so he nodded quietly: "That's right." I've loved this soup since I was a kid. ”
Lu Zijin had a sincere smile on his face, and his words were full of joy: "Speaking of which, we are really two sisters, and my sister also loves to drink this soup." After a pause, he said with regret, "In the past, our sisters didn't get close to each other for various reasons, and we didn't even know what each other liked. Otherwise, you might have discovered these same preferences a long time ago. ”
Who knows if you really love to drink? Lu Chenxi slandered, only nodded perfunctorily, and did not reply.
Sensing Lu Chenxi's perfunctory, Lu Zijin pretended not to know, and asked as if unintentionally: "By the way, in fact, I was very curious last time, but I forgot to ask." Sister, why did it take so long for you to go to Jinling? Two whole years. ”
Lu Chenxi's heart sank, and it was really not just for the sake of being almost that simple. His face was silent, and he only pretended to be distressed: "It's not the ancestor of the clan yet." When I first went to Jinling, I fell seriously ill due to the fatigue of traveling. When my uncle saw me, he felt that my body was too weak and not good, so he left me in the ancestral house to recuperate. It's been two years, and that's great. ”
Lu Zijin didn't believe it, "I've been recuperating for two years? ”
Lu Chenxi nodded: "Not really." I almost vomited after drinking those bitter pills. This is not only to drink medicine, but also to read more books, saying that it is wise to read. ”
"I see." Lu Zijin stirred the spoon in his hand, "That ancestral house ......"
"Bang dang" Before Lu Zijin's words were finished, he was interrupted by the sound of broken dishes on the opposite side.
Immediately, the immature shouting and scolding sounded: "Dead minion, I said I don't want to eat this!" Are you looking for a fight? ”
When everyone heard the reputation, they saw Lu Cheng scolding at his nurse, and his hand was still waving, as if he wanted to beat her.
Lu Chenxi turned his head to look at Lu Zhengxing, and sure enough, his father's face was already very bad.
"You dead minion......"
"Shut up!" Lu Zhengxing shouted, stood up and pointed at Lu Cheng, and scolded: "I don't study well at a young age, and my temperament is so tyrannical." Our descendants of the Lu family are not like this! ”
Then he shouted to the door: "Come on, bring the eighth young master to the ancestral hall for me to kneel!" ”
"Grandpa Guo!" Qi Mingzhu screamed, "Cheng'er is still so young, how can she withstand the punishment of kneeling in such a cold place!" ”
Lu Zhengxing's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and he pointed at Qi Mingzhu and scolded: "If it weren't for you, he would be so small, how could he be like this." Good children have been taught badly by you! ”
Qi Mingzhu's body shook, as if he couldn't bear such an accusation.
Lu Zijin hurriedly stepped forward to support Qi Mingzhu, shook her hand tightly, and then looked up at Lu Zhengxing, his eyes were full of pleading: "Father, it's okay to punish my younger brother for grounding or whatever, please don't let him go to the ancestral hall." His body is weak and he can't stand the ......"
At the end, there seemed to be a choked voice.
Lu Chenxi looked at Lu Zijin's pitiful appearance, smiled coldly, and finally said, "Daddy, the eighth brother is still young. ”
