Extra-twelve
"What did you say, father-in-law? You said you were going to send Qian'er to the countryside? I...... I must have heard this wrong, right? ā
In the Shanlan Courtyard of the Dingguo Mansion, the daughter who had just settled his injured and sleepy daughter heard what Lu Xiaoqing said, and even if he couldn't accept it, he thought that he was having auditory hallucinations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You heard me right, that's exactly what I said."
There is no need for Xia Shuanghan and Tan, who are in the house right now, or Lu Shaoyun's other two younger sisters to speak, and Lu Xiaoqing, who came to Lu Xiaoqing with why Lu Ruqian was injured today, said sharply: "Qian'er, this child is not far from a heartbroken murderer, how can you still defend her in such a situation?" ā
"No, no, my Qian'er is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, she is the most well-behaved and finally sensible, smart and kind like her, how could she do such a thing that intends to push people down the stairs? This can't be, this can't be! ā
Silently looking at the Xu family, who shook his head and didn't want to admit the reality, Lu Shaoyun, who had been disappointed in her in the previous life, did not pour out more disappointment in her because of today's events.
In the face of such a mother who only knows how to blindly protect her shortcomings, she finally deeply understood what Xia Shuanghan in her previous life meant when she said to him, "Dingguo Mansion is not my home, it is a prison", when he felt strong anger and disgust when he was blinded by the so-called family affection in his previous life, and then could not see Xia Shuanghan's pain.
"Tingxuan ......" was immersed in the memories of the past and couldn't extricate himself, and suddenly Lu Shaoyun, who was regained his sanity by Xia Shuanghan's gentle call, raised his eyes and saw a strong concern and worry on his lover's face.
"What were you thinking? It's okay-" Standing silently on the side of the main hall with Lu Shaoyun, he didn't intend to get involved in the matter of "what kind of punishment Lu Xiaoqing plans to punish Lu Ruqian", but he didn't finish his question.
"Shuanghan, you said, you explain the matter to your father-in-law clearly, my Qian'er, she didn't want to push you, she just ...... She just accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt and tripped over it, that's why she pounced on you, didn't she? ā
Xu Shi, who was suddenly killed in front of her, raised his hand and clasped his arms, Xia Shuanghan, who hated the elders who protected calves like this, said in a bad tone: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, Mrs. Shizi, you want to deceive yourself, of course, it's okay, but please don't treat everyone else as blind and idiots, okay?" ā
"Mother!" At a glance, you could see how painful Xia Shuanghan was held by Xu, Lu Shaoyun, when he stretched out his hand to block Xu's block, he immediately said: "If you don't completely raise Ru Qian's disability and waste, you won't be happy, right?" Yes, her attempted murder today is not a big mistake, so you can protect her, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? ā
"When Qian'er gets into a life lawsuit one day and is about to be beheaded, do you think you can go instead of her? Qian'er did not repent, intensified, and took a step closer to breaking through the catastrophe, causing our Dingguo Mansion Mansion to collapse, and when men, women, and children were all about to go to the court, when we, as her relatives, all wanted to cut her with a thousand knives, can you bear such hatred instead of her? ā
"It's not too late to make amends, if you continue to be obsessed like this, when Qian'er is sent to the court, I want to see if she will thank you for collecting her body."
"Impossible, you're an alarmist, you're an absolute alarmist." Whether in his previous life or in this life, he didn't hit the south wall or look back on the road he identified, and the Xu family, who hit the south wall and still didn't look back, couldn't listen to anyone's advice at all.
"I love Qian'er so much, how can I hurt her? You, as her own brother, cursed her every word, how could I give birth to a hard-hearted son like you. ā
"You think I'm hard-hearted, so be it!"
Lu Shaoyun, who didn't want to watch the farce in front of him with his lover, held Xia Shuanghan's hand, and after leaving a sentence "Should Qian'er be sent to the countryside, my father and brother will express their position when they go home", he saluted his grandfather in the hall, and then left Shanlan Courtyard with Xia Shuanghan, who also saluted and said goodbye.
"Tingxuan, I really didn't have anything to do today, I was neither injured nor frightened, and my condition was so good, so don't break my face anymore, okay?"
The Xia family in Shuanghe Lane, east of the capital, noticed that Lu Shaoyun, who accompanied him home, was a little unrefreshed along the way, and raised his hand to stroke his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry about it anymore, otherwise the wrinkles in the center of your eyebrows won't go away." ā
"Frost ......" stared down at her lover who obviously didn't take Lu Ruqian's attempted attack to heart, and took her into her arms with guilt, not only whispering to her in this life, but also apologizing to her in her previous life: "I'm sorry, my family is always so uneasy and trying to provoke you." ā
"Say what? Which of us is with whom, depending on the relationship between you and me, how can you say sorry. Besides, haven't you always been on my side, supporting me and helping me do justice? With such a performance, where do you have any reason to feel sorry for me? ā
Sweeping away the haze in his heart under the explanation of his lover, at this time, he carefully recalled what Xia Shuanghan had told him, and then suddenly realized that Su Yixing's performance today was very inconsistent with his temperament in his previous life, Lu Shaoyun, after thinking for a while, finally figured out why he felt that he looked at Xia Shuanghan's gaze when he met him in the hot spring village a few days ago, and the reason why he was so unhappy.
Su Yixing is a good waiter who is meticulous and conscientious in his official duties, which Lu Shaoyun admits.
However, no matter how much he likes to investigate and judge cases, at the moment when the New Year is approaching, all departments in the three provinces and six ministries are busy with their feet hitting the back of their heads, Su Yixing, who is the waiter of the Criminal Department, does not go to his serious official business, but casually gets involved in an ordinary dispute on the side of the street, and it is unreasonable for him to do so.
To be honest, if he had stood up for justice in every dispute he encountered on the street, he would have been exhausted a long time ago. So, in addition to a major life lawsuit, he basically doesn't have the time and energy to take care of it, why should he take care of Xia Shuanghan's matter today?
Don't say anything, he came forward because he saw that the person who confronted Xia Shuanghan on the street was the guard of his own family. Su Yixing, who doesn't have a good relationship with his stepmother on weekdays, would come forward and take the initiative to deal with the problem because he recognized that it was the Xiangyang palace guard who followed the Xie family out? It's impossible to think about it.
So, thinking of Su Yixing's immediate refutation when Xie questioned Xia Shuanghan, in order to defend Xia Shuanghan, and his way of easily handing over the opportunity to prove his innocence to Xia Shuanghan so discussively, he instantly decided that Su Yixing must have fallen in love with Xia Shuanghan's Lu Shaoyun to some extent, and even reminded his lover when he spoke out.
"What do you say? You say Su Shilang is interesting to me? Tingxuan, you're so funny. I couldn't understand the little sense of crisis in Lu Shaoyun's heart at all, I only felt that he was definitely a hearty Xia Shuanghan, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"Tingxuan, I'm glad that you can see me as so good and so important in your heart, but to be honest, I really don't think I have the charm to attract Su Shilang, who is the son of the world. The eldest young master of a family like him, who has not seen any woman since he was a child, and he is used to seeing all kinds of beauties, how can he look at me who is just handsome? ā
"You're underestimating yourself, you know?" According to the memory of his previous life, he clearly remembered that Lu Ruhui said that all the women in Su Yixing's backyard were beauties who could compete with her, and Lu Shaoyun had to admit that if Xia Shuanghan only relied on her appearance, then she really couldn't be taken by Su Yixing. However, the reason why you like someone is that her appearance is often not the most critical factor, is it?
"Frost, I'm a man, I know men, I know what kind of attitude a man will have when he faces a woman he covets, I know better than you. So, please don't take my words seriously, okay? ā
"Okay Tingxuan, I can indeed take your words seriously to heart, but I personally insist that it won't affect me much."
Raised his hand and pinched the face of Lu Shaoyun, who looked slightly sad, and was amused by his slightly aggrieved expression, Xia Shuanghan couldn't help but laugh and said: "The marriage between you and me was set by holy decree." So, even if Su Shizi is interested in me, then what can he do? ā
"I will marry you and be your wife for the rest of your life, this matter was decided a month ago. In that case, what do you have to worry about? Do you feel inferior to him and think that you are inferior to him? ā
"No, of course not." In my previous life, until I went to the border, although I belonged to different yamen, I was never worse than him, whether it was in the eyes of the saint or the prince!
After whispering in his heart like this, Lu Shaoyun, who found that in addition to his current official position, he was no worse than Su Yixing in any other aspect, and quickly relieved the sense of anxiety and crisis in his heart.
"Frost Cold, you're right, you'll be my wife in the future, it's been decided by the Holy Decree, so I don't need to care too much about what he thinks of you."
Lu Shaoyun, who did not regard Su Yixing as a rival at this time, did not expect that his positioning and perception of him would change so much in the near future.
For a person like Xia Shuanghan, who has practiced since childhood and has become proficient in needlework, how long does it take to make a complete set of clothes for Lu Shaoyun from the inside out? The answer is, five days is enough.
So, in the middle of the lunar month, when Lu Ruqian, who had already woken up, still couldn't accept the fate of being sent to the countryside after the first month, Xia Shuanghan, with a complete set of clothes with fine stitches and excellent workmanship, once again boarded the door of the Dingguo Mansion a few days later.
"Your needlework is as good as ever." In the small courtyard of the outer courtyard, Lu Shaoyun, who took over such a set of clothes he had been looking forward to for a long time from his lover, turned around happily and ran into the inner room, and couldn't wait to try them on.
"As always, haven't you never seen me do needlework before?" With a light smile, he glanced at Lu Shaoyun, who came out after changing his clothes, with a child-like expression on his face, and Xia Shuanghan, who did not take his words with special meaning to heart, and then handed over the peace and wishful knot he had made.
In the house, Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan were talking about all kinds of topics without saying a word, and the smile that walked in across the threshold brought Lu Shaoyun two pieces of news: Childe, the maid next to Miss Ru Hui came, saying that Miss Ru Hui wanted to invite Miss Xia to get together in the inner courtyard. In addition, the little guy over there came to report, saying that the prince of Xiangyang wanted to see you.
"Hui'er wants to see frost? Well, it's not difficult to understand, she probably wants to talk about whether Qian'er should be sent away or not. As for Su Shilang...... "Speaking of this, he frowned suspiciously, thinking that at this stage, he had neither personal relations nor official contacts with Su Yixing, and he should not be found by Lu Shaoyun, who was the right person, and couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
"Ru Hui is the one you are talking about, the only one of all your sisters and sisters that I can properly let down my guard and deal with it, right?" For this Miss Ru Hui, who did not show up because she was unwell on the day of the snow feast, so until now she has only heard of her name and has not seen her person, Xia Shuanghan, who is a little curious about her, does not mind meeting her.
"With a smile, I bothered you to go back to the maid beside Miss Ru Hui, and said that I hate to set foot in the inner courtyard. So if she wants to see me, please go to the Xiaoxiang Garden in the inner and outer courtyards of Unicom. If she doesn't want to come, then the meeting is over. ā
Nodding yes, he withdrew with a smile, and Xia Shuanghan, who quickly got up to leave, also let the main hall of the main house and handed it to Lu Shaoyun to entertain guests. So, Su Yixing, who came to the door with Li Qinglan, came to the front of Lu Shaoyun.
Lu Shaoyun, who was stationed in Tongcheng Pass, made military achievements in the Mobei Extermination War a few months ago, and then triumphed in the capital together with the soldiers who returned to the dynasty after victory, Su Yixing naturally knew about it.
After returning to Beijing, because of his military exploits in exchange for a marriage decree, Lu Shaoyun, who became a topic of discussion among the people in Beijing for a while, had a lot of things about him, and Su Yixing, who was not interested in oral chat, also inadvertently and passively heard about the young and old.
And among all the true or false, half-truths and half-truths he heard, the one that he remembers most deeply is that when he was fighting at the border pass, Lu Shaoyun once rescued a pair of brothers and sisters of mixed Rong and Han descent from a village on the border that was slaughtered by the Mobei people, and brought them back to the capital.
So, since the first meeting, he had wishful thinking that Xia Shuanghan, who followed Lu Shaoyun's side in the hot spring villa that day, and called himself "a good citizen who is not a slave or a maid" at the gate of the silk village a few days ago, must be Su Yixing, the younger sister of the pair of brothers and sisters brought back to the capital by Lu Shaoyun, so he made up his mind to come to Lu Shaoyun to ask for a "smile".
"Although I still can't raise the slightest interest in other women, but since my interest in that Rong woman has not diluted but deepened after a few days, then I think about it, I am not a whim for her, and I should not have any problem asking Lu Shaoyun for her, right?"
At this moment, Su Yixing, who was far from falling in love with Xia Shuanghan, but just had a good impression and interest in her, just came to the door and asked Lu Shaoyun to see "Hanxiao" first.
It's just that just when he was quietly thinking about what he was already ready for, how to persuade Lu Shaoyun to give up the person next, and how he was going to place the "smile" rhetoric next, the smile who walked in the door made him surprised and disappointed for a moment. "What? Why, aren't you of mixed Chinese and Chinese descent? ā
In the main hall, Lu Shaoyun, who introduced Su Yixing to Su Yixing with a smile who walked in with the hot tea for hospitality, used the words "Shizi, this girl is the younger sister of the pair of brothers and sisters I rescued at the border and brought all the way back to the capital", so that Su Yixing, who instantly understood that he had made the wrong person, was disappointed.
And thought to himself, "Okay, although I did get the wrong person at the beginning, it doesn't matter, the person I'm looking for definitely knows Lu Shaoyun, and this can't be wrong." Therefore, I just need to ask again", Su Yixing used the sentence "I'm sorry Lu Wugongzi, the person I want to see is not her, but the girl who was almost pushed downstairs by your sister in the silk village a few days ago", which confirmed the bad premonition that emerged in Lu Shaoyun's heart.
"I just don't know, Su Shizi, what are you looking for that Rong girl for?"
Ignoring Su Yixing's misunderstanding of the "Rong and Han mixed blood" held by Chai Hu and Hanxiao, who are Han people, he had already guessed why Su Yixing was looking for Lu Shaoyun, who was Xia Shuanghan, and after waving his hand and showing that he was puzzled and obviously confused because of Su Yixing's words, he decided to take the last step to confirm.
"For what? Based on the two meetings in the Hot Spring Mountain Resort and the Silk Village, I had a strong interest and affection for that girl, so I wanted to find her and take her for myself, I wonder if Lu Wugongzi can accept such an answer? (To be continued.) )
