According to the description of the ancient housekeeper, the two men who took away the clean dust were dressed ordinary, but they could carry swords. They asked the doorman to hand over a letter to the clean dust. Jingchen was a little flustered when she saw the letter, she left Ah Chen and Ah Zhen behind, and said that she would come to pick up people in person in three days, and then reluctantly followed the suspicious two men away.

Qing Shu thought for a moment and asked casually, "What is Mr. Lu doing?" ”

Butler Gu didn't understand why the topic turned to Mr. Lu, "Rest in your own residence." ”

"Go get busy! You don't have to worry about the dust purifier's business. Qingshu sent Butler Gu and went to Mr. Lu's side.

The door to the kitchenette was open. Mrs. Lu was cooking, and Shengge was sitting on a small stool to help add firewood.

Qing Shu was admitted to the hospital, greeted Mrs. Lu with a smile, and then went into the house to find Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu is sitting behind the bookcase at the moment, he is wearing a crescent-white robe, holding a brush in his hand, and he is writing something at the desk. He didn't look up when Qing Shu entered the door, "I know why you're here." ”

Qingshu didn't need Mr. Lu to let him, he moved a chair over and sat opposite Mr. Lu, "Sir, you might as well tell me, why am I here?" ”

Mr. Lu wrote with a smile on his face and said, "You don't have to worry, she'll be fine." "When the martial arts family was full of beheadings, the superior people never killed her, let alone today, when things are changing. Moreover, although her self-contained nature can't make friends, she won't make enemies with others.

Qing Shu stared at Mr. Lu's words and said, "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about whether she will bring danger to us." ”

Mr. Lu paused, "Why do you think so?" ”

"I had nothing to do with her, but she came to the door strangely, and told me in a strange way that she had two very good sisters, but the three of them turned against each other because of a man, and the end was not very good."

Mr. Lu was visibly taken aback, "What else did she say?" ”

She said that she and the man were in love and were going to get married. But her two good sisters betrayed her, and one of them made the man a colt, and ruined her marriage with the man. ”

With a click, the brush in Mr. Lu's hand fell to the table, and his voice was a little unsteady, "What else did she say?" ”

Qing Shu carefully observed Mr. Lu's face and said, "She said that she left Beijing sadly, and a few years later met him in a small place in the south with her son. She had been silently following him for many years, and even though she had never spoken to him, she felt that it was enough to see him every day, and she asked for nothing else. Later, the one she was thinking about died, and the two sisters who killed her also died one after another, leaving her alone to live. ”

Mr. Lu said loudly with an angry face, "Nonsense, what nonsense." ”

Qing Shu was taken aback, "What? This was the first time she had seen Mr. Lu angry. She thought that Mr. Lu, who had chased them with a ring ruler and a feather duster, and was about to beat them, was simply playing with them, and Mr. Lu was not angry at all.

Mr. Lu realized that his reaction had frightened Qing Shu, so he suppressed his anger and said with a soothing face, "As an elder, how can she tell you this?" What nonsense. ”

Qing Shu was surprised, "Sir is saying that she didn't lie, those are the facts?" She also thought that the stories told by Jingchen may not all be true, and there may be a lot of water mixed in the middle, and it would be good if the real part accounted for half of it. Who would have thought that it was all true! It stands to reason that the relationship between the eldest princess and Zhou Qiao is unchangeable, and Jingchen's identity has become a little embarrassing. So, what exactly does Jingchen think? Why do you want to tell her about your past entanglements?

Mr. Lu frowned and said, "Whether it's the truth or the lie, she really shouldn't tell you this." ”

"Definitely. So I kept wondering, what was she saying to me about this? Do you know what she meant? ”

Facing Shang Qingshu's overly serious eyes, Mr. Lu stopped talking for a while.

"Sir, do you know what she means? I want to know, is she malicious? Will she be a danger to us? ”

Mr. Lu sighed, "What else did she say?" Did you mention the boy? ”

Before that, the warning given by Jingchen Qingshu didn't take it to heart at all. But now that he knew that Jingchen was not lying, Qing Shu immediately paid attention to the warning, so he chose to conceal the warning according to Jingchen's instructions, "I mentioned it, she said that Zhou Boyan often went to her to play when she was young. ”

"She was a good woman, and even when she was betrayed, she never did anything out of the ordinary, let alone took revenge on anyone. The man you like is calculated by your sister, and even the most kind person will be resentful. She is also resentful, but she is still sensible, so she chooses to leave Beijing. Mr. Lu shook his head, "Yan Xiaozi was relatively close to her when she was a child, and everyone has different opinions on this. In Jing Fei's opinion, she is taking revenge on Jing Fei. In Brother Zhou's opinion, she is trying to make herself accept the facts, accept the fact that she and Brother Zhou are no longer possible. In my opinion, since it is a knot that cannot be untied, she thinks that she will be happy in this way, and she will be happy as she is. It's really not much she wants, and no one can do anything to ruin her regained smile. ”

Qingshu was very surprised, he didn't expect Mr. Lu to comment on Jingchen like this. Can we understand the essence of a person by connecting three sides? She was skeptical.

"Shu girl, she is not a complicated person, simple and kind. A hint of this can be seen in her paintings. What she sues you is true, but not all. There are many unspeakable things hidden behind the grievances and entanglements back then, and she doesn't know about them, so she is still alive and well. It was her kindness and simplicity that saved her from death. ”

"But why did she sue me about those things?"

"Brother Zhou once said that she is not good at making friends, she always paints quietly by herself, and only has something to talk to with three or two people close to her. Moreover, whether she likes someone or hates someone depends on her first feeling. Whether she has changed over the years, I don't know. She will tell you about old things, and although the husband is angry, he is also surprised, she is not a person of this temperament. If you want to ask her why she is like this, and what her purpose is, Sir can't give you an answer now. He was no longer in the mood to practice calligraphy, "Go back!" If she comes back in three days, she will be sure to ask you about it. ”

Mr. Lu said so, and Qingshu had to get up and leave.

Three days passed in a flash, and seventy-one acres of peppers and twenty acres of red fruits had been planted in the vegetable fields of the wasteland. In order to prevent them from being too conspicuous in front of people in the future, Steward Zhang commanded the laborers to open up some land in the periphery and plant bud valleys. After that, they have to tend peppers and red fruits while slowly cultivating the wasteland and growing various vegetables for daily consumption.

Inside the ancient mansion. The ancient housekeeper and the housekeeper in the house are sorting out the vegetable furrow vacated after taking away the vegetable seedlings. On the other side, Qing Shu took the initiative to invite Qingyang, Chen Qiaojiang, Hao and Luo Xiaorong to raise the remaining little red fruit seedlings and pepper seedlings.

When the family had tidied up the vegetable furrow, Qingyang did not allow Qingshu to get started, and commanded Chen Qiaojiang, Hao and Luo Xiaorong to plant seedlings in a very bossy manner.

Qing Shu, who was robbed of his job, stood aside with a smile and watched, "Obviously, Qiao Jiang is the oldest of the four of them, but I look at it, how do I feel that Qingyang is the eldest brother!" ”

The ancient housekeeper listened and said, "The old slave found that when the four young masters discussed things together recently, it was the young masters who finally made the decision. ”

Qing Shu sighed when he heard it, "If you don't pay attention to it, you will miss something, I don't even know about it!" She wouldn't be out of the house as often in the days to come, so she could spend more time with them.

At this time, Xiaoyu stepped forward, "Miss, Lily of the Valley is here, and Master Jingchen has come to pick up someone." ”

Qingshu listened, said hello to Qingyang and them, and walked to the front yard.

Lily of the valley went and returned, stopping Qing Shu's way to report, "Miss, Master Jingchen has been invited by Mr. Lu to speak." ”

Qing Shu said that he knew, went to the front hall to sit and wait for the dust, and sent someone to help Ah Chen and Ah Zhen clean up their things.

The small courtyard where Mr. Lu lives. Guan Mutou accompanied Sheng Ge to sit at the gate of the courtyard and fiddle with some wooden toys, guarding the courtyard gate by the way to prevent people from coming in. In the room, Mr. Lu and Jingchen sat facing each other.

"I haven't seen you for many years, don't come unharmed?" Jingchen greeted softly, although he smiled lightly, he only felt vicissitudes, and there was no joy in his expression, and he was less angry.

Mr. Lu lost his usual gentle smile, put on a straight face, and looked very strict, "Thank you for your concern." He picked up the teapot with the tea, first poured a cup of tea for Jingchen, then poured himself a cup, and then put down the teapot, "After so many years, I thought you had been freed from the past grievances." Unexpectedly, this is not the case, and you still can't let it go. Brother Zhou has been dead for many years, and the eldest princess has been gone for many years, whether it is love or hate, no one is gone, what else is there to cling to? ”

Jingchen never seemed to have thought that Mr. Lu would speak like this, and the surprise in her eyes was undisguised, "What? ”

"How did you come up with the idea of being a Dao Aunt?"

The dust is silent.

"Knowing that you took the road number to clean the dust, I thought you were going to clean up the grievances in the earthly world, and forget the past qiē."

"I don't want to forget the past, I only cultivate to seek peace and tranquility of the soul."

"Peace and quiet?"

"Yes. The hatred in my heart has nowhere to go, my thoughts are not answered, I feel lonely alone, I feel like I'm going to suffocate. Whenever I have a nervous breakdown, I always think of what he said, 'If you meet again, I will marry you.'" Whenever this happens, my mind is full of him, and nothing else. In the agony of day after day, I found that I could only get better when I thought about him. Then I gave myself hope and imagined that he was living in another place, and that he was also thinking about me. In this way, I have the courage to live. I don't want to forget him, I want to remember his one qiē clearly, I want to try to forget the betrayal of Jingfei and Zhou Su, and I want to wait calmly for the day when I will reunite with him. ”

Mr. Lu frowned at her, thinking that she was very abnormal.

"I'm not crazy, your worries are unnecessary."

"Since you're not crazy, why do you want to bring up old things to juniors who have nothing to do with you?" He was blaming her for talking nonsense in front of Qing Shu.

"I don't know. When I saw her, I suddenly wanted to confide in her. She frowned, "She, the feeling she gave me...... It's different, it's very different, she ...... I can't tell, it's just a strange feeling, trust or something, that made me unscrupulously say what I had buried in my heart for years. When she said this, there was a blank look on her face, and there was no hint of lying.

"She is the girl that Yan Xiaozi likes, but you tell her about the grievances between you and Yan Xiaozi's father and mother. Do you do that? You want her to disgust Yan Boy's mother, so as to break her up with Yan Boy, don't you? If this is your belated revenge, it would be naïve. ”

"No, I don't think so. If I wanted to take revenge on Jing Fei, I would have taken revenge at the beginning, and it was not that there was no chance of revenge, so why should I wait until now! Besides, as you said, that's naïve. I came all the way to Kangxi Town, firstly, to see what kind of wonderful person the girl Boyan had taken a fancy to, and secondly, to fulfill a wish. It was an accident to tell her about the past, and after that, even I was surprised by my words and deeds, and I thought it was incredible. She smiled faintly, and there was an unknown melancholy between her eyebrows.

"What do you want to fulfill?"

"Gu Yunhu is righteous and thin, and he died in Xiaguan for him and Bo Yan. Gu Yunhu is not only his and Boyan's benefactor, but also my benefactor. I have to repay this kindness, and I have come to repay it. ”

Mr. Lu raised his head and looked her in the eye, "For repaying the favor?" How? ”

"You don't have to know that." She lifted the teacup, lowered her eyes, and took a sip of the tea that was no longer hot in her mouth.

"Why can't I know? What do you think I'm sitting here for? I am the bloodline left behind for my brother. Anyone who wants to hurt their siblings has to ask me if I agree! ”

She put down the teacup and frowned, "Lu Xuanfang, what qualifications do you have to doubt me so much?" You blindly believed that Zhou Su was the first, and after the accident, you were blindly immersed in the pain of being betrayed and used by Zhou Su, did you ever think about protecting Gu Yunhu's children at that time? You, like me, are all cowards, we are blindly immersed in pain, anxious to escape, but forget that Boyan needs us, and Gu Yunhu's children need us. ”

Mr. Lu was speechless, and his face was pained.

"Back then, you liked Zhou Su, believed in Zhou Su wholeheartedly, and ignored my warnings. How does it end up? Zhou Su took advantage of you, betrayed you, and killed your own brother and two of your best brothers. When you see Zhou Su's true face, you should finish her off with one slash. But you didn't, you actually let her go and let her continue to hurt people. Speaking of this, Jingchen's tears rolled down her cheeks, "If you kill her on the spot, she can't continue to hurt people, and the nurse won't die, no." He entrusted the nurse to me, but I didn't protect the nurse well, and watched Zhou Su push the nurse down on the boulder. Blood, the nurse left a lot of blood...... No matter how much I beg the doctor, how I beg God, it's useless, it's useless, the nurse is still dead, dead, you know? Speaking of excitement, her voice grew louder.

Mr. Lu's eyes were dark, and he couldn't sit steadily, so he hurriedly helped the corner of the table to stabilize himself.

"It's you, it's you who indirectly killed the nurse. If you hadn't let Zhou Su go, the nurse wouldn't have died. If I hadn't been so useless, the nurse wouldn't have died. At this time, Jingchen was already in tears, with a face of self-blame.

"It's all fate, how can you blame him?" Lu Niangzi stood at the door with an angry face, "Don't you think he wants to avenge his brother?" He wanted to too. ”

Mr. Lu turned his face at the voice and waved his hand weakly, "Biyan, you go out." ”

Lu Niangzi refused, "No, I won't go out." She glared at Jingchen, "I don't know what the truth was back then, and I have no intention of exploring those secrets that can't be said. I only know that back then, my husband had a crush on a woman named Zhou Su, but Zhou Su seemed to have taken advantage of my husband and killed someone. ”

Mr. Lu was furious, "Biyan, you go out." ”

Lu Niangzi stubbornly refused to leave, "My husband broke with her, she knelt down and begged my husband for forgiveness, and said that she would find someone to come back first, and then ask my husband for guilt." My husband is right, Zhou Su is his favorite woman, how can he kill if he says kill. The person Zhou Su promised to find back must be very important to my husband, what is wrong with my husband letting Zhou Su go for the sake of that important person? I have never forgotten the scene of my husband and Zhou Su confronting him that day, not only you were injured, but my husband was also injured. ”

Jingchen wiped the tears on his face, Huo Di got up, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to blame anyone, I'm just out of control for a while, and I don't choose to say anything." With her apologies done, she turned to leave.

Lu Xuanfang got up, "Wait a minute, you have to sue me, what do you mean by returning the favor?" What are you doing? ”

Jingchen stopped and turned around, "Lu Xuanfang, you cultivate Gu Yunhu's son in your way, and I want to protect Gu Yunhu's daughter in my way, what we do does not conflict with each other." Let's do our own thing, I won't ask you about your arrangements for Gu Qingyang, and similarly, you can't interfere in anything I did to protect Gu Qingshu. ”

"Wu Mulan, what are you going to do?" Mr. Lu was probably really angry, and actually called out Jingchen's name.
