During the ball, Kong Miaoling was once stopped by a woman who claimed to be Mrs. Lu Dujun, and the foundation was extremely thick, but no matter how thick it was, it couldn't cover the traces left on her neck by the years.

It is said that the strength lines show that people are old, and the few lines that are not deep or shallow across Mrs. Lu's neck completely expose the age she carefully wants to hide.

Mrs. Lu held Kong Miaoling's hand and looked up and down, her eyes full of affection.

"Miss Kong's appearance is really worthy of her reputation, I don't know if Ling Zun has ever mentioned your marriage?"

"Marriage? We? ”

Kong Miaoling listened to one head with two big heads, "And whom?" ”

Mrs. Lu bent down and smiled, "It's with the dog, it seems that Ling Zun is busy and confused, you and the dog can be married on the belly." Today is your eighteenth birthday, and tomorrow I will call my lord to come to your door. ”

"Propose?"

Kong Miaoling almost didn't shout, but after Mrs. Lu mentioned it, she did have such an impression in her mind, but it was still her age when she first remembered, and Kong Xinfang said it casually at that time, she thought that her father was joking with her, and she never took it seriously.

"Hehe, Mrs. Menglu's love, it is really a blessing for the wonderful spirit. However, now it's a new era, and the emphasis is on free love, not to mention, marriage is a major event in life, how can it be child's play, if Miao Ling's body is crippled or an ugly monster with sores on his face, wouldn't he have wronged the Lu family? ”

Mrs. Lu was so choked by her that she didn't say half a word for a long time.

Who is Lu Chengen?

Kong Miao suddenly remembered that Kong Xinfang had mentioned the matter of the Lu family, saying that Lu Xiaoqian had a son and two daughters, the youngest son, and the third in the Lu family.

And the eldest above him was born to Lu Xiaoqian's brother.

According to the word arrangement, to Lu Xiaoqian's son's generation, it just happened to be "inherited"

Word.

Throughout the history of the Lu family, it is just a matter of being mentioned by nobles in troubled times, there is a lot of pie in the sky, the Lu family thinks of the grace, so the big one is called Lu Chengen, and the small one is called Lu Chengze.

Thinking about it this way, then Lu Chengen is Lu Xiaoqian's nephew.

Kong Miaoling thought at the time, the Lu family is also quite strange, the big one is not the family, but the small one is in charge, and he still has a lively posture.

Kong Xinfang said that the reason is that Lu Da and his wife died early, and Lu Xiaoqian was only in his early thirties when he was in charge of the Lu family, but looking at his current momentum, he is more capable than his eldest brother.

The past piled into Kong Miaoling's mind one by one, making her more and more uneasy.

She was confined to this room alone, and neither could she get out, nor could anyone else get in.

The doors and windows were nailed to the ground, and the ears were lying on the walls, and they couldn't hear any movement.

The quieter she was now, the more apprehensive she was in her heart, and the thump kept beating in her throat.

Kong Miaoling thought carefully about the strange appearance of her father and brother during the day, presumably things started in the morning, but her father and brother read her as a woman, and never talked about any military and political affairs in front of her, she was smart, sometimes she listened to it sentence by sentence, but also remembered several characters today, in addition to Lu Xiaoqian of the Hui family, Shen Boyong, the king of Liaodong in the mouth of the little sister, is also a powerful character.

She couldn't help but wonder if the matter had something to do with him as well?

Just thinking about it, the door suddenly opened, and a person came in from outside, Kong Miaoling looked fixedly, it was Kong Miaotang.

As soon as she saw her brother, Kong Miaoling's anxious heart was half lowered first, and the camouflage copper wall was also removed, and she threw herself into Kong Miaotang's arms without saying a word, tears couldn't help pouring out, and before she could speak, Kong Miaotang comforted her first.

"I'm scared of you, let's go."

Kong Miaoling nodded while crying, and was about to leave, but another name came into her mind.

"Where's my father?"

When Kong Miaotang heard this, his face became even darker, "Don't worry, I'll tell you more after I go back." ”

Kong Miaoling opened a pair of big watery eyes, flickering and shining.

Even if she had any doubts in her heart, she knew that it was not their territory at the moment, and she should listen to her brother.

The two walked to the side door of the hall, and Lu Chengen came to meet them, staring at Kong Miaoling.

Kong Miaotang also quietly stopped, and his two fists were clenched to death.

From the time the two of them got on the bus to the time they returned to the Confucian Mansion, there were people watching, and the leader was Lu Chengen.

Kong Miao's cousins didn't dare to squeak either, and only replaced them with their gaze and subtle movements.

When he arrived near the mansion, he saw the soldiers surrounding her from a distance, Kong Miaotang held her trembling hand tightly, trying to use the residual warmth of his palm to dissolve the uneasiness in his sister's heart.

Kong Miaoling saw that there was a general handing over to Lu Chengen, and she knew in her heart that the people who surrounded the mansion were not the Lu family's troops, but she didn't recognize the soldier, let alone guess which warlord it was.

As soon as they entered the house, Kong Miao's cousins were watched and went to their rooms.

Kong Miaoling looked back at her brother with anxiety, but caught a glimpse of Lu Chengen's cold face.

The bright moon has long hung in the deep blue sky, and the bright moonlight shining on the flannel curtains is even more eerie.

Kong Miaoling couldn't sleep, and she didn't care about taking off her makeup, so she only took off the dress that had a beautiful appearance but was not very comfortable, changed into a silk long skirt, and put on a knitted coat and hugged the pillow and was in a daze by the bed.

I don't know how long it took, Kong Miaoling faintly heard a "squeaky rattle" from the dresser

At the sound of the sound, she got up from the side of the bed, picked up the clothespole casually, and walked in the direction of the dresser with trepidation.

As the distance increased, a head poked out of the silver moonlight.

Kong Miaoling didn't even think about it, and was about to hit the clothes pole.

Suddenly heard the "wonderful spirit"

With a bang, the hand raised in mid-air suddenly stopped.

"Big brother?"

Kong Miaoling was surprised and looked at the face that was very similar to his father in the moonlight.

Kong Miaotang nodded, waved at her, and motioned for her to go with him.

Kong Miaoling didn't think much about it, and quietly followed Kong Miaotang through an opening on the side of the dresser.

Kong Miaoling was surprised as she walked, and she didn't expect that the house she had lived in for eighteen years did not know that there was a tunnel hidden here, and this tunnel could lead to any room in the mansion.

The two walked to an iron gate, Kong Miaotang pressed a few numbers, and the iron door opened suddenly, Kong Miaoling couldn't guess that there was a beautifully decorated underground palace hidden in this tunnel.

After Kong Miaotang lit the oil lamp in the room, Kong Miaoling felt safe.

"Brother, what happened? Where is my father now? We... Will they all die? ”

This is the question that Kong Miaoling cares about the most, and she has been holding it back for a long time.

But seeing Kong Miaotang, he shook his head, "No, at least you won't die." ”

Next, Kong Miaotang told her what happened today.
