As Li Yuan spoke, he suddenly found that Lu Yunqing's face was a little wrong, and his complexion, which was originally white and red, showed a hint of pale that was different from before.

"Yun Qing, what are you...... Are you feeling unwell? ”

Li Yuan looked worried, she had never seen Yun Qing show such an expression.

Lu Yunqing suddenly sobered up, shook his head with a smile, "It's just that I think of some past events, you continue." ”

"The past?"

Seeing that Lu Yunqing didn't want to talk more, Li Yuan consciously skipped it.

Her face is so ugly, probably because she is sad, Yun Qing is her best friend, of course she will not do such a thing as revealing people's scars.

"Listen to my eldest brother, this year's conference in the same year has been advanced."

Li Yuan changed the topic and asked with a smile: "My eldest brother and they have all reached the age of marriage, let them go at home, and they can also take me to see, do you want to play?" ”

"Nope."

Lu Yunqing refused.

She came to the capital for a very clear purpose, but she didn't want to waste her time on irrelevant things.

"Really?"

Li Yuan's eyes widened, and he looked lost, "The official examination is held every three years, and the next conference of the same year will be held in three years, so many young talents and beautiful talents, it would be a pity not to see it." ”

"I'm different from you, ask grandma when the time comes, and then say anything else."

This time, Lu Yunqing's mind calmed down, and he suddenly realized that his previous performance was too old-fashioned, so he didn't refuse again.

Li Yuan saw the apprehension flashing on her face, and immediately understood, and nodded understandingly.

Mrs. Hou Ye is very good to Yun Qing, but there is no blood relationship between Yun Qing and the Hou Mansion, so there is no way to act as recklessly as her.

Aware of this, Li Yuan suddenly felt a little annoyed and blamed herself, and lost the interest in continuing to chat, so she quickly said goodbye and went home.

After sending Li Yuan away, the last bit of smile on Lu Yunqing's face disappeared, turned around and entered the attached courtyard without saying a word.

"Unless Mama Huai comes to me, no one else will see me."

The cold command came into his ears, and Huan'er hurriedly answered in front of the door, feeling a little puzzled.

"Miss, what's the matter? Get up on the wrong side of the bed? ”

In Huan'er's impression, Lu Yunqing has been angry very rarely, except for the time when he learned that his younger brother was dead, Lu Yunqing always had a calm smile on his face, as if he was always holding the pearl of wisdom, and naturally coped with various occasions.

Such Lu Yunqing is impeccable, who can affect her mood?

Small courtyard study.

Lu Yunqing spread out a piece of white paper, pinched the brush with his knuckles, and wrote only one word "Jing", then frowned, put down the brush, crumpled the paper and threw it on the ground.

Under the fluttering and curly eyelashes, a pair of clear eyes reveal a rare irritability

。

She suddenly remembered that even this method of calming her mind was taught by him.

Her thoughts, her insight, her resourcefulness...... All of them are learning from him and imitating him, it turns out that everything in the cell in his previous life has long been melted into his blood and bones, and has become an indelible habit.

After settling down, she picked up the problem again, pursed her lips, and wrote down two words, which were as heavy as a thousand gold.

Shen ...... Clear. ”

The first word he taught her was his name.

Smack!

The brush fell on the paper, smudging a black stain, gradually obscuring the name.

Lu Yunqing looked at this scene in a daze, and suddenly became extremely sober, and his heart suddenly collapsed, extremely empty.

She should have woken up a long time ago, but at some point, she was already in the middle of the game.

The current Shen Che is not the one who lost everything in his previous life and was only gentle, but the eldest son of the high-ranking Zhenwang Mansion and the future Zhenwang.

He is perfect as a god in her heart, and his wife should also be a gentle, demure, kind-hearted lady, not a crippled person who has struggled in hell since childhood, his hands are soaked in blood, and his heart is full of intrigue and intrigue.

You shouldn't think about it, and you don't have to think about it.

Avenging her mother and Yuan Yan is the most important thing she should do.

Lu Yunqing took a deep breath and pressed all the chaotic thoughts in his mind into his heart, his gloomy eyes returned to calm, and his heart was at peace.

"Mother, Yuan Yan, I will definitely succeed."

The faint voice of the words drifted through the air, and it was impossible to tell the thoughts contained in the words.

When the sky darkened, Lu Yunqing walked out of the small courtyard, Huan'er was immediately alarmed, and stepped forward and said, "Miss, dinner is ready, are you going to eat with your wife?" ”

Lu Yunqing hummed lightly, turned around and walked towards the Xia family's courtyard.

Huan'er followed behind, her expression was a little dazed, and the pair of pupils that she had just seen flashed in her mind.

It's so clean, and Miss's eyes are purer than before.

It's so pure that it's a little scary.

……

Zhenwang's Mansion, East Courtyard Study.

Under the candlelight, Shen Che rubbed the silk jade pendant in his hand, and his pupils lost focus in a trance.

After the homecoming banquet, he always remembered the soft fragrance of that night from time to time, and muttered to himself with sincerity in his panic.

The little girl's family, three years younger than him, still wants to protect him?

The corners of Shen Che's lips hooked slightly.

Ah Yi quietly stepped into the threshold, and it was no surprise to see that the master was like this again.

He coughed lightly and said, "Childe, the daughter of the Ji family lives in the West Courtyard, she invites her to a banquet tonight, do you want to go or not?" ”

"West Courtyard?"

Shen Che's dark eyes returned to plain and indifferent, his long eyebrows raised, and he asked in a cold voice: "The West Courtyard is not a place for guests to live, who let her go?" ”

Ah Yi: "...... It's the eldest lady. ”

Shen Che's expression was slightly condensed, and his brows frowned slightly, "What is she going to do?" ”

Ah Yi hesitated when he heard this, and saw that his son-in-law's expression turned cold again, so he had to be heartbroken, and said honestly: "The eldest lady came back from the Wenguan with a message, saying that although the Ji family acts disgracefully, the daughter of the Ji family is a rare beauty, gentle and gentle, full of poetry and books, and empathetic......"

"Enough!"

Shen Che interrupted coldly, "My life's major event, it's not her turn to call the shots." ”

Ah Yi kept silent.

The eldest lady and the son both have strong personalities, the eldest lady has a natural desire to control the child, every time the son does not accept her arrangement, the two must have a quarrel, after arguing for so many years, their subordinates are also used to it.

"Go and get the bloody clothes from the previous days."

Shen Che suddenly spoke, Ah Yi hurriedly went down to bring his clothes, and when he saw that Childe was about to go out after changing into it, he couldn't help but ask, "Childe, who are you?" ”

"Go to the feast."

Shen Che patted the blood stains on his chest, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The Ji family's face still has to be given, at least until the compensation for betraying the Shen family is returned, the skin can't be torn off.

……

In the small garden of the west courtyard, Ji Qing waved the best dish with his own hands, sat down with a warm expression, and swept his head at the door of the small garden, but there was still no trace of Shen Che.

"Miss!!"

The maid couldn't stand it anymore, and said angrily: "The little prince has been hanging you for so long, and he clearly didn't take you to heart!" Why should we be so angry? Zephyr City can give you a door-to-door proposal from the head of the city to the end of the city! ”

"Return the pearls."

Ji Qing interrupted the maid's words, and glared helplessly, "How can the elder's arrangement be violated?" The little prince is young, and he can make great contributions to the court, so he should be a good match. It's normal to be busy with big things and not come to the banquet, so I'll invite him another day. ”

Huanzhu got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, and stomped her feet with a disgruntled face: "Miss, you're not like this, are you really willing?!" You like ......"

"Return the pearls!"

The gentle smile on Ji Qing's face faded instantly, "The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker." Don't say these words again. ”

The maid was gagged by this sentence, and her eyes were a little red.

Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure at the entrance of the garden, and immediately reminded her, "Miss, he's here!" ”

Ji Qing was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw Shen Che coming, and a gentle smile regained on his face, but halfway through the laugh, he froze again.

Bloodstains, the smell of blood.

Shen Che went to the banquet and came without changing his clothes.

Did he kill people out there?

Ji Qing is a pampered flower at home, where has he seen blood, and his face is suddenly a little pale.

"Miss Ji Qing, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come to harm?"

Shen Che smiled, and under the stain of blood, it looked extremely hideous in Ji Qing's eyes.

She swallowed forcefully and maintained a somewhat stiff smile: "It's been a long time since I see, Brother Che seems to have changed a little." ”

Shen Che nodded, he had a lot of memories of Ji Qing, from three to seven years old, the Ji family quit the marriage and moved out of the capital at the age of eight.

The impression of Ji Qing has always been gentle and well-behaved, obedient and sensible.

When he was a child, he was often bullied, but Ji Qing's attitude towards him did not change at all, which was one of the few comforts he had when he was a child.

Ji Qing is indeed a little special to him.

But as he grew up, he gradually came to appreciate the facts.

From beginning to end, Ji Qing's feelings for him are not real, she is just an obedient puppet in the hands of the Ji family, and all tenderness is the product of obedience to orders.

The special situation of the season has also become indifferent.

Shen Che's reticence made it a little difficult for Ji Qing to continue the topic, but after all, she was the daughter of the Ji family, and she quickly adjusted.

"Brother Che, the dishes I prepared are all your favorite foods, you can taste them."

Ji Qing personally sent the chopsticks into Shen Che's hands, Shen Che took them without changing his face, glanced at the dishes on the table, and chuckled: "It's really unfortunate, my taste has changed a lot over the years, and I don't like to eat it." ”

The smile on Ji Qing's face froze again.

Did he deliberately dismantle the stage?

"I heard that over the years, the Ji family has developed well in Zephyr City?"

Without waiting for Ji Qing to find a topic, Shen Che took the initiative to speak, and finally eased the embarrassing atmosphere in the field a little.

Brother Che said with a smile, family affairs, but I don't have to interfere, the eldest brother is in charge. I have heard a little, if Brother Che doesn't dislike it, Ji Qing can be said to relieve boredom. ”

Ji Qingyan chuckled, and her delicate makeup was stunning and dazzling under the cover of the night light.

Under the cultivation of the Ji family, she has become a beautiful vase, a hundred times more beautiful than when she was a child.

Shen Che looked at this scene, his expression was a little stunned, and suddenly the little girl at the homecoming banquet sounded.

I really want to see her dressed up like this.

When the maid saw this scene, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Men are really, not a good thing!
