Chapter 29: The Showdown
The bride was ushered into the main hall, and Lu Jing symbolically said the words of advice, and waved his hand to signal the end.
Aunt Bai sat next to her and sent someone to stuff a pair of bracelets into Lu Jingshu's hands.
Lu Jing didn't speak, so she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Heart: This Lu Jingshu is actually a pitiful. She was pampered in the early years, and she was used to being held in the palm of her hand, and it must not be easy to bow low and be small.
I just hope that she will cause less trouble and be safe for the rest of her life.
Lu Jingshu stepped out of the door while crying, and the sobbing sound was too obvious.
The moment she went out, Lu Jing's voice rang out, "Tell my dad if you are bullied." ”
Lu Jingshu's body stiffened instantly, but after reacting, she just nodded.
In her heart, she has long hated the ruthless and unrighteous Lu family, and marrying into the Xu family is just jumping into another fire pit.
From the moment she went out, the Lu family had nothing to do with her.
Lu Jingshu swore that she would never step into the Lu family again in this life!
Xu Qian waited in a hurry, but because of Lu Jia's bias, he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to ride on the horse with a smile, and scolded Lu Jingshu and the others in his heart.
The people who sent off their relatives slowly piled up in front of the house, and Lu Xihe stood behind the crowd, looking at Lu Jingshu who was dressed in a happy dress from afar, and the emotions in his eyes were unpredictable.
"Miss? Your face is a little bad. Pothos quietly leaned over and stuffed a warm bag under her sleeve, "Miss will use this, and the slave will change it for you later." ”
"I'm fine." Although he said that it was okay, Lu Xihe still grabbed the warm bag.
In her heart, there is still a shadow lingering.
"Fifth sister." Lu Rongwan came to her side at some point, "You don't look very good, if you're tired, go back and rest." ”
Lu Xihe shook his head.
Lu Jingshu entered the sedan chair, and a large group of people set off in a mighty manner.
"What is Nguyen Nguyen thinking?" Lu Yiran also came to her side, lowered his head slightly and asked, "But it's uncomfortable?" ”
Lu Xihe still shook his head.
"The ceremony is almost over, I'll send you back." Lu Yiran took her hand, but he didn't expect her to break free, and the feeling of the emptiness in his hand made him stunned.
"Although the eldest brother is the elder brother, I have grown up, male and female..."
"Let go of me." Lu Xihe couldn't keep up with his pace, and he still struggled.
Lu Yiran suddenly stopped and looked back at her, with emotions hidden in her deep gaze that she couldn't understand.
After a while, he said resignedly, "Calling you back this time is not just Lu Jingshu's business. ”
Lu Xihe's heart jumped suddenly, did he know something?
Could it be that Qiulan revealed the clues to him...
"You should give your family an explanation for the matter of going to the female officer exam privately." Lu Yiran's words made her breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's natural, I'll explain it to my dad myself later." Lu Xihe promised.
Lu Yiran nodded, but he couldn't say the words in his heart anyway, and the two walked to Xuanji Courtyard in silence.
"Rest well and don't burn yourself out." After Lu Yiran finished speaking, he sent someone to carry several large wooden boxes in, "These are some playthings, they are all liked by girls, if you like it, you can stay." ”
"Brother Xie." Lu Xihe pulled out a smile, Lu Yiran reached out and rubbed her hair, "Okay, let's go in." ”
Lu Xihe walked into her small courtyard when she heard this, and somehow, she turned around slowly, Lu Yiran was still standing in place, and when she turned around, there was a trace of warmth on her cold face.
She smiled.
This is a rare sincere smile from her.
After many years, Lu Yiran can still recall that day, the sun was just right, the girl looked back and smiled, shining bright light in his dark life.
It was the first time she had looked back at him at the time of separation.
Lu Xihe walked back to the house quickly and closed the door tightly.
"Xing'er."
Lu Xihe's expression seemed to have changed, and the girl in black appeared at dusk.
"Master."
Lu Xihe seemed to think for a while, "Am I doing something wrong?" ”
"The master has done nothing wrong, you have already given her a chance." Xing'er's cold voice comforted her better than anyone else.
"There you go." She closed her eyes.
"Yes." The house was empty.
Lu Xihe seems to have had a long dream.
The weather that day was superb.
"Fly high! Brother, run up! ”
A young female voice shouted anxiously, and the fair-skinned boy held the kite string with one hand and said with a smile: "Ruan Ruan, don't worry. It's not windy at this time, and when the wind is strong, it flies on its own, believe me! ”
The girl pouted, seeming unhappy, "I made a bet with the fourth sister yesterday that whoever has the highest kite today will be able to eat each other's preserves." If I lose, I won't have any snacks today. ”
The boy scratched his head, smiled again, and said proudly, "Don't worry, my brother will definitely help you win." ”
Lu Xihe looked at the sky, in the blue and cloudless sky, two kites were not far away, and occasionally a few geese flew over.
"Brother..."
Lu Xihe kept shouting, his voice was very small, as if he wanted to scream loudly, but he suppressed it and didn't make a sound.
"Wake up, Miss!" The pothos's face became clearer little by little.
"Pothos?" She muttered.
"Miss, you're awake! I'm scared to death the slave! Miss you... I've been calling my brother just now... The slave maid thought, if you don't wake up again, the slave maid will send someone to invite the eldest young master..."
Lu Xihe's mind failed to wake up from that dream.
Brother...
"Don't call him." After Lu Xihe finished speaking, he fell asleep again.
When I went to see Lu Jing, he happened to be busy.
"Daddy."
Lu Xihe hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and walked into the study.
Lu Jing saw her calm and relaxed appearance, and a surge of anger surged above her head.
Father and daughter were silent for a while.
"Don't you have anything to explain?" Lu Jing's left hand trembled slightly, he didn't know why, his daughter's family became like this.
The road to female officials is not impossible, but why did she secretly participate in it without telling her family? How much else does this seemingly well-behaved daughter have to hide from her family?
"You've seen the results, and you don't need to say anything more about your daughter." Lu Xihe has made up his mind, and he is unwilling to continue to disguise in front of the Lu family.
In fact, as long as the father pays a little more attention, he can find out why his daughter studied the legal code and studied the art of sophistry in military books. It's just that you don't want to share your time with your children. Even if you cared a little more about us, the Lu family would not have come to this point. ”
Lu Jing's face was extremely ugly, "You might as well say it directly." ”
Lu Xihe sneered, "Isn't it related to my father's negligence about my brother's affairs back then?" ”
"What do you know?"
"I don't know what you are refusing to hand over the murderer for. However, I want my father to understand one thing, no matter who that person is, I want him to pay with blood, and I will do what I say. ”
Lu Jing saw that Lu Xihe's expression was extremely serious, and a bad premonition hit his heart. This kid is so much more than it seems! Behind her, I don't know how many secrets are hidden!
"I advise you, the court is far more simple than you think, you'd better stop as soon as possible, don't kill yourself." Lu Jing reprimanded.
"Dead end? What I am looking for is their dead end. Lu Xihe turned around and said, "I want to watch them fall from the clouds with my own eyes and let them know what pain is." ”
"You're crazy, tomorrow I will repair a book and send someone to the capital, don't want your official position." Lu Jing walked to the table, picked up the pen and was about to write.
"Late, I have met with the Holy One, and he has personally appointed me to take charge of the revision of the Code. Is my father's move asking me to resist the decree? Lu Xihe said unhurriedly.
After she finished speaking, she saw Lu Jing's figure freeze suddenly, and turned around as if she was unable to move, and said in disbelief: "What did you say?" ”
Even though Lu Jing tried to think about countless situations, he didn't expect that this Lu Xihe actually had such ability!
"Revision of the Code."
"Do you know how dangerous you are! If you're not careful, you'll die, and even the whole family will have to bury you! Lu Jing couldn't control his temper at the moment, "We are no longer the Lu family of the year!" Now your father is a civilian official, and he has no military power to support you! What do you have to rely on to protect yourself? ”
"That never happens." She swore by it.
"Confused! You're such a fool! Lu Jing slammed the inkstone to the ground, resisted the urge to hit her, and pointed at her so angry that he couldn't say a word.
"Instead of teaching me a lesson, let's think about how your favorite third daughter can live a good life in her mother-in-law's house." It's good that Lu Xihe didn't remind him, this reminder just made Lu Jing understand the whole thing.
"It turned out to be you." Lu Jing's eyes were red, "Get out, the Lu family doesn't have a daughter like you!" ”
He never imagined that his daughter would have such a vicious mind.
His hand was raised high, but it was intercepted by the seemingly thin woman!
"Do you think I'm rare with your Lu family? Amusing. Lu Xihe sneered again and took a step forward, "It's just the two of us today, I might as well tell my father the truth, since I was nine years old, every moment I stayed here made me feel extremely disgusting." Your connivance with the concubine and the partiality of the Liang family's mother and daughter, do you really think we don't understand? Stop kidding yourself. I'm afraid they already hate you! ”
"Enough!" Lu Jing withdrew his hand and slammed the table, "Get out of here!" Never come back! ”
"As you wish, from today onwards, I and the Lu family will be gracious, severe, righteous and absolute." After Lu Xihe finished saying the last few words, he left the study without looking back.
She returned to Xuanji Courtyard and told Luluo to pack up her things.
"Miss? What happened? Pothos asked in a panic, she didn't understand, she was fine during the day, why did she have to leave suddenly? They haven't slept yet.
"I'm no longer from the Lu family." After she finished speaking calmly, she looked around the room, and there was really nothing she wanted to take with her, "Take whatever you like." ”
The pothos seemed to have been struck by lightning, and it took a long time to digest it before coming back to its senses, "Miss, have you been kicked out of the Lu family?" ”
Lu Xihe did not answer.
The green pothos had red eyes, got up and packed the useful things into a package, and muttered: "The slave has nothing to do, the things that the young lady likes, bring these pieces of jewelry, and these clothes The young lady also likes, and the silver taels, you have to bring more..."
"What are you crying about, do you want others to see jokes?" Lu Xihe took out a box from under the bed, took out the sword inside, and stroked the sword body, "Long time no see." ”
"Miss, do you know martial arts?" Pothos asked as she sobbed.
"How dare I break with them if I can't protect myself? But you, are you afraid to follow me? If you're scared, I'll arrange a good place for you. ”
Green pothos shook her head, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Don't be afraid to go anywhere with Miss! ”
Lu Xihe walked out of the door with a smile, "Still not keeping up?" ”
The pothos quickly packed up and hurried over to follow her.
Why does she think today's young lady is handsome?
The two of them left the house in the dark, hired a carriage, and went in the direction of the capital.
on the carriage
Lu Luo said worriedly: "Miss, this night is dark and windy, is the coachman outside credible?" Will we meet..."
Lu Xihe, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, "Guess." ”
"Miss..."The voice of the pothos became smaller and smaller, "the slave is afraid..."
The carriage had long since left the city, and now it was in the wilderness, and it was not unreasonable for Pothos to worry.
The car stopped suddenly.
The pothos trembled in fright, and subconsciously blocked in front of Lu Xihe.
