Chapter 32: Surprise
Ning You looked back at Fang Cai's scene, his eyes drooped, and his slender eyelashes almost covered the eyes that had seen through the mortal world.
Can't you like it? But what is revealed in his eyes is obviously a desire and envy that cannot be concealed.
"Master, do you want to help her?"
Desheng stood respectfully at the tea table, and Ning You elegantly put down the cup, "If she can't do this well, why should she change the law?" ”
Desheng agreed: "In this way, this Lord Lu does have a seven-trick exquisite heart. The master can rest assured. ”
"Seven tricks of exquisite heart?" Ning You repeated, "Not bad. If it weren't for her, it would have been the fifth brother who would have been carried back to the capital a few days later. ”
Desheng couldn't tell what Ning You meant for a while, was the master praising her or preparing to get rid of her?
"A clever plan provoked the war between Fusang and Qingguo, and now Fusang has no time to take care of himself, so he can only withdraw his troops from Qinglan Pass in embarrassment. The five princes took advantage of the victory to pursue and recaptured two cities in a row. He came back alive, I'm afraid this capital will change again..."
"Heh, what if he comes back to be crowned king? If he does not obediently hand over the military power, he will not end well. ”
Ning Yan, who has no military power, is just a paper tiger, and there is nothing to be afraid of at all.
No matter how powerful his mother's family is, now, it has begun to decline.
"Xiao family, the scenery won't be long away." Ning You is good at speculating on people's hearts, the emperor has long had enough of the Xiao family, as long as Ning Yan's military power is handed over, the Xiao family will be finished...
"The master is wise, but what should this Lord Lu do..."
Desheng is a smart person, he already knew that Ning You had plans to cultivate Lu Xihe, but she had a close relationship with her master's rival, what was the master thinking?
Ning You didn't speak for a long time, and at the end, there was endless melancholy hidden in one sentence.
"Wei Wei saves Zhao, the little girl is so thoughtful..."
"Only such a woman is worthy of working with His Highness." Desheng's praise for Lu Xihe attracted Ning You's dissatisfaction.
"Talkative, get out." Ning You propped himself up on the table with one hand, and his sleeves slowly slid down, revealing his skin that could be broken by blowing.
"It's really beyond Lone's expectations." He actually began to look forward to what this girl would look like when she grew up.
It must be exciting.
Lu Xihe rushed back to the Supervision and Arrest Department to find some information, and finally had enough understanding of the Supervision and Arrest Division.
Alongside Du Changge, there are also three sub-directors, who have a very high voice in the Supervision and Arrest Department.
As the only woman, if Du Changge is not ruthless, he will indeed be untenable in the Supervision and Arrest Division.
"Xiao Jiu, why don't you leave?"
Lu Xihe looked up and saw a sunny young man standing three steps away. This person is ranked seventh under Du Chang Singer, and he looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is a ruthless character who kills people without blinking.
"Brother Seven, I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with many things, so I want to learn more." Her words are half-truthful.
Lao Qi blinked, "Don't exhaust yourself." With that, he disappeared.
Lu Xihe pondered that the time was almost up, cleaned up the file on the table, and calmly stepped out of the Supervision and Arrest Division.
On the way to Lu's house, Lu Yiran's face was extremely ugly, but the joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.
When he first learned that she was leaving without saying goodbye, he was obviously angry. When he rushed for a few days and nights to recover her, he was distressed and disappointed.
I have been good to her for many years, but I can't even say goodbye?
How many days and nights he couldn't sleep peacefully, knowing that she was doing well, but still worrying about her.
I am afraid that she will not be able to eat well and dress warmly, afraid that she will be bullied, and even afraid that she will lose her life recklessly.
All of this disappeared the moment I saw her figure today.
Even if she doesn't think about herself, he can tolerate it. He can think of her as young and ignorant, and when she understands, she will take herself to heart.
He has been guarding her for many years, and he has been waiting for many years, is there still two years left?
"The eldest young master..."Luluo saw him get out of the carriage, and immediately changed his words when he noticed the loss: "I have seen Lord Lu, my young lady has not returned yet, please wait in the main hall with me." ”
Lu Yiran nodded and stepped into the door of the Lu Mansion without squinting.
"Tea, sir." As soon as he sat down on his front feet, the pothos brought the tea.
For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
Is he a guest?
"Miss, you're back!"
He then looked back, and saw a woman in official uniform, with a golden knife at her waist, looking sideways at him, so imposing.
Those eyes like peach blossoms no longer have the boredom or dissatisfaction of the past.
Nothing.
It was as if she was looking at a stranger.
Lu Yiran's heart tightened, stood up, and met her eyes.
At this moment, he really felt as if he was in a different world.
The face of the person in front of him has not changed much, but for some reason, he looks so strange.
Is she still the little girl she grew up guarding?
"I'm back." Whenever he is, he is always the one who speaks first.
Lu Xihe nodded indifferently, untied the knife from his waist, and walked in his direction.
"There are some things to deal with, I'm busy late, big brother didn't wait long, right?"
The sound of the eldest brother made his mood that had been tense for a long time collapse.
He stretched out his long arms and took her into his arms, but he did not speak.
Lu Xihe's expression was complicated, and he wanted to push him away, but he didn't do it for some reason.
The pothos retreated in amusement.
"Why don't you say goodbye? Do you know how worried I am..."His choked voice startled Lu Xihe, and after a moment of confusion, she returned to normal.
"I'm sorry." She said slowly.
"Don't be petty, come back, okay?" In an almost pleading tone, he still hoped that she would change her mind.
Lu Xihe pushed him away and took half a step back, "Big brother, sit down and talk." ”
Lu Yiran sat down obediently.
"Big brother, you already know the situation between me and my father. He can't tolerate me, and I can't tolerate him. Lu family, there is no need for me to go back. She bowed her head slightly, as if she was sad, more like lost.
"If it weren't for him, wouldn't the Lu family have anything worthy of your nostalgia?" His left hand was hidden in his sleeve, and his palm was already a blur of flesh and blood.
"What's left? My mother doesn't care about me, several aunts always want to use me, and even a few brothers and sisters want to frame me. Maybe no one cares about my life or death except for my eldest brother. Her eyes turned red and she shook her head.
"It's me who is not good, I didn't protect you well, and you were wronged." Lu Yiran blamed herself very much in her heart, if she had been more attentive at the beginning, why was she forced to this point?
"No, it has nothing to do with big brother." Lu Xihe's thoughts suddenly returned to a long time ago, when her brother was still there, and her mother had not moved to the Buddhist hall, although several aunts were obstructive, but that was the time she missed the most in her life.
Obviously, it is a very happy life.
"Ruan Ruan, you are too sensible, you hide everything in your heart, and you don't want to talk to others. In fact, we really want you to talk to us, whether it's happy or negative, as long as you want to say it, we are willing to listen. Lu Yiran's iceberg-like face has long since disappeared, and even the tips of his eyebrows have climbed into a thick loneliness.
How did it become the way it is?
He couldn't figure it out.
"Some words, some things, may only rot in my heart, and I will not mention half a word to others for the rest of my life. Big brother has come to today's status, he should understand this truth better, right? ”
Lu Xihe's eyes were clear, which was more important, she had already made a decision in her heart.
"Am I an outsider? Nguyen Nguyen. Lu Yiran was injured, and his eyes were full of grievances when he looked at her.
Lu Xihe took a deep breath, "I have already severed my relationship with the Lu family, and naturally I have nothing to do with my eldest brother." Thank you for taking care of me for all these years. Without you, there would be no Lu Xihe today. ”
"What did you say?"
"This is the last time I call you big brother, from now on, I will..." Before she finished speaking, Lu Yiran had already arrived in front of her and grabbed her wrist, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"I know, I know every word I say now."
She looked up, her eyes unwavering.
"Why?" He could hardly believe it.
Before she said that, he was still rejoicing.
"You know why."
Lu Yiran's heart seemed to be torn apart, "Am I not good to you?" He was still restrained, and he didn't even dare to squeeze her arm too hard, he knew that she was squeamish, and if she pushed hard, she would definitely be red and swollen.
"Big brother, why don't you understand? I have nothing to do with the Lu family anymore. She said firmly.
"I don't understand, who doesn't understand? I've been around you for so many years, and you really don't feel it at all? He grabbed her hand and put it on his chest, and his good-looking eyes reflected Lu Xihe's panicked face, "Tell me, do you feel it?" ”
His heart beat strongly, passed through his hands to her, and her head exploded with a buzz.
Does he...
"Ruan Ruan, you can not accept me, but I will never allow you to leave..."He slowly leaned down, and his good-looking face gradually approached...
Lu Xihe came back to his senses abruptly and pushed him away in a panic, "You are sober!" ”
His eyes were red, and he looked down at her with affection in his eyes. In the past, he had been suppressing and restraining himself, but now he didn't want to.
"I love you."
!!!
Lu Xihe was stunned by his words, how could it be, they were brother and sister!
"I love you, now you know?" He didn't come any closer, looking at her quietly.
"What are you kidding, we're brother and sister..."
Lu Xihe subconsciously took a step back.
Lu Yiran noticed her movements and smiled bitterly: "Am I joking?" Do you want me to dig out my heart and show you? I can do whatever you want. ”
With that, he pulled out a dagger and aimed it at his chest.
"Nguyen Nguyen... As long as you don't leave me..."
He lowered his head and smiled, raising his hand to stab down.
"You're crazy, we're brother and sister, you're going to kill both of us like this." Lu Xihe was desperately trying to stay calm, and she couldn't accept what Lu Yiran said.
She even wondered if she had a dream.
"Brother and sister?" As if he had heard something funny, Lu Yiran suddenly burst out laughing, desolate and sarcastic.
"Is it okay for my brother to tell you a secret, I don't have the blood of the Lu family on my body." Lu Yiran said word by word, "We have no blood, fate, relationship, or connection at all. ”
