Lei, who had been guarding the door, had just escorted the vegetable buyer in, and when he left the house, he saw Lu Jue standing there alone, and immediately stepped forward to salute: "Subordinate, I've seen my lord." ”

Since you have arrived at the Zhou Mansion, it is better to ask what is going on. Lu Jue glanced at the gate of the Zhou family, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and asked, "Is Mu Zhen back?" ”

Lei Gang replied: "Just came back." ”

"Is little Ai settled?"

"The subordinates have placed her in a family to recuperate according to the instructions of the adults. I also asked the doctor to read it, and the doctor said that after being closed for so long, except for some weakness, there is no other problem, and it will be fine after a little more cultivation. Miss Xiao Ai asked her subordinates to tell her not to worry about her. ”

"Got it." After speaking, Lu Jue paused slightly, stabilized his mood and continued: "Don't stay here, you go in with me first, and then withdraw the officers and soldiers when you come out in a while." After saying that, he walked up the steps and walked to the door.

"Yes" Lei Gang answered, quickly chased after him, and knocked on the door first.

The official government surrounded the Zhou family, whether it was good or malicious, as the housekeeper of the Zhou family, Zhou Yi was guarding the door without leaving, and when he heard the knock on the door, he knew that it must be the official family, so he immediately opened the door, and when he saw that it was Lu Jue, he showed a little surprise. Isn't the second lady already by his side? How can you still have time to come here. But he still quickly saluted Lu Jue and said, "I've seen the second aunt." ”

Lu Jue didn't say anything and ordered directly: "I'll wait in the garden, you go and find Mrs. Mu, and say that I have something to see her." ”

"It's the second aunt, please." Zhou Yi first invited Lu Jue into the pavilion in the back garden, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare refreshments, and sent people to serve him, and then retreated to Mingxiangyuan to invite Mu Zhen.

Besides, the rude lady of the Zhou family, since the officers and soldiers surrounded the Zhou family, Zhou Ruoning has never gone out, with her temper and mood, it can be imagined that she is in a very bad mood, she can't eat, sleep restlessly, and she has lost a lot of weight. The maid Qiuju thought of all kinds of ideas and said a lot of good things before she came to the garden to relax.

As soon as the two of them entered the garden, they saw Lu Jue sitting in the gazebo waiting for Mu Zhen, Zhou Ruoning thought that he was looking for himself, and immediately swept away the displeasure of the past few days and was overjoyed. walked over with relaxed and happy steps, sat beside him without permission, with a shy and moving posture, grabbed his hand on the table, and said in a voice as soft as sugar: "Brother Lu Jue, you came to see me, I'm so happy!" Since you are here, why don't you go to Ningyuan to find me, sitting here with a cold and getting sick, Ning'er should be distressed, Qiu Ju go and get the brocade cloak. ”

"Yes" Seeing that the eldest lady was happy, Qiu Ju was also happy, and she responded happily and was about to retreat

Lu Jue stopped him in a loud voice: "No need, I'm not here to look for you, I'll leave in a while, you don't have to be busy greeting me." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Ruoning was embarrassed and said angrily: "Didn't that slut let you come to see my jokes." Hmph, I really didn't expect her to have such a skill, I want to ask her if she has any other means than pretending to be a good person in front of people and stabbing her in the back. ”

Hearing her humiliation of Zhou Ruoshui, Lu Jue forcibly suppressed his anger and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "You are not young anymore, you should distinguish right from wrong, even if you can't treat her like Shui'er did to you, you shouldn't listen to outsiders and do something to hurt your family." ”

Zhou Ruoning laughed twice and said, "It's you who was blindfolded by that slut and couldn't tell right from wrong." ”

Lu Jue said angrily: "The slut in your mouth, for the sake of family harmony, is willing to go to the Huan Washroom to do the work of a subordinate; In order so that you don't have to do something that you can't turn back, you are willing to give up your fiancé. Gold, silver and jade, brocade clothes, beloved and beautiful son-in-law, she is willing to give up, but in exchange for only you a slut, don't you think it's unfair to her? ”

Zhou Ruoshui said indignantly: "Those are all what I deserve." ”

Lu Jue said: "There is nothing you deserve, your life, wealth, and life are all given by your parents, and the imbalance in your heart is your own problem, don't impose it on others." ”

Zhou Ruoning grabbed Lu Jue's wrist and said pitifully: "What kind of drug did that slut give you to make you look like this, look at what I have been harmed by her." ”

Lu Jue shook off her hand and said: "The way you look now is your own fault, no one else, let alone Shui'er." ”

Zhou Ruoning took Lu Jue's hand again, tried his best to prove his mentality, and said: "Why are you all like this, do you have to break my heart?" Do you have to see me sad? I don't want to fight with my sister, I just need to stay with you. ”

It's good to make her die, or to make herself feel at ease. Lu Jue once again revealed his identity, and said without squinting: "I am your sister's fiancé, I like this state very much, and I don't want to change all this status quo." ”

Zhou Ruoning was a little sad, that pitiful look, I felt pity, she said sadly: "Do you have to do this to me?" ”

The first love is so beautiful, especially when she is so pitiful in front of her, Lu Jue's heart softened, and the tone of his voice was no longer tough, "What would you do if your father-in-law or your fiancé had other women in your heart besides you?" ”

Zhou Ruoning, who has always had confidence in his appearance, said confidently: "I have confidence in my appearance." ”

Lu Jue sneered, turned his head to look at the self-righteous woman and said: "It is easy to grow old and easy to change, the only thing that remains unchanged for a long time is true feelings, if it is only based on appearance, is it still true feelings?" ”

Zhou Ruoning was just about to speak, Zhou Yi and Mu Zhen came together, Zhou Yi saw that Zhou Ruoning was also saluting her first, and Yu Lu Jue replied: "I've seen the eldest lady, I've seen the second aunt." Second Aunt Madame Mu, please arrive. ”

Lu Jue snorted, walked outside the pavilion and said, "Can Mrs. Mu have time to take a step to speak." ”

I don't know why Lu Yiping came to look for himself, so he put on a posture of soldiers to block the water and cover the earth, and said lightly: "The adult is in charge." ”

"Please come with me," he glanced back at Zhou Ruoning and walked out of the pavilion.

Zhou Ruoning scolded loudly when he saw that people were leaving: "Lu Jue, stop for me, did I let you go?" ”

Lu Jue stopped, didn't look back, only said coldly: "In the eyes of the eldest lady, it's just an item, but even if I am an item, I will only choose the master who suits me, and you will die of this heart." With that, he left.

Looking at Lu Jue who was gradually moving away, Zhou Ruoning's expression was depressed and she no longer had the spirit just now, although she still had a glimmer of hope that Lu Jue would turn back, but that glimmer of hope also disappeared after Lu Jue disappeared in the rockery, she realized at this time that she really had no hope at all, and Lu Jue had no intention of herself from beginning to end.

Mu Zhen, who went with Lu Jue, didn't ask where to go, and didn't ask why, and followed him to the front hall before stopping. But at this time, Lu Jue was not in a hurry to talk to her, but was very vigilant to recruit Bai Jiu to prevent the wall from having ears.

This scene made Mu Zhen start countless speculations in her heart, but after all, her heart was separated from her belly, and Lu Jue was already thoughtful, how could she easily let herself guess. He gave up this idea and took the initiative to ask, "There should be something important to talk about when the adults brought the women here, right?" ”

Lu Jue closed the door and turned around, folded his hands together and bowed to her, and said, "Lu Jue once again thanks Madame for saving her life." ”

Mu Zhen was slightly surprised and said, "What do you mean, my lord?" ”

Lu Jue straightened up, didn't make too many fusses, and directly pointed out his attitude: "You are a smart person, there are some things that you don't need to say clearly, you should understand what I mean." I just gave a salute to thank you for saving Shui'er from the fire and saving her from being buried in the fire. Whether you are sincere or sincere, or hypocritical, that gift is due. But there are some things I have to remind you, tell Zhu Xian not to try to move a single hair of Shui'er, if Shui'er has a case, I can guarantee that his life is better than death! ”

Only a few people knew about rescuing Zhou Ruoshui from the fire, and as soon as Lu Jue said this now, he knew that he should have guessed Zhou Ruoshui's whereabouts. But even if he knows what about him, there is no one to prove it, and the other is no physical evidence, as long as he denies it, he is helpless. She smiled and said, "Please forgive the women who are only shallow in their studies and don't understand what adults mean." If the lord has no other instructions, the women should retire. ”

Lu Jue forcibly suppressed his anger and said sharply: "Tomorrow you can see that you deliberately reminded me that I have been coaxed by Zhou Ruoning!" Madame really hides it deeply, and she can play with the Zhou family in the palm of her hand. ”

Mu Zhen smiled calmly and said: "The folk woman is just an ordinary woman, but she has learned a few more words, and she has the courage to recommend herself only if she has some literary talents." Where is the scheming that adults say! ”

Lu Jue snorted and sneered: "It's that I don't understand enough, or Mrs. is pretending to be confused with me, there are some things that you and I know, why should Mrs. deceive herself." Do you think you can hide yourself well by covering your face? If you were really hard-hearted, you wouldn't save Shui'er from the fire; But if you have the heart, why did you send the daughter you have raised for ten years into the tiger's mouth. ”

Mu Zhen's expression moved slightly, lowered her head and fell into deep thought, and said after a while: "My lord has thought too much, it has only been five years since the woman entered the Zhou family, and I didn't know anyone in the Zhou family before that!" Let's talk about raising the second lady. ”

These words undoubtedly aroused Lu Jue's anger, his eyes looked at her sharply, and he said sharply: "Yes, it seems that you don't plan to tell me the truth." Okay, then let's get straight to the point! In the past few years, the reason why I have been able to remain consistent in the capital is that Shui'er's letters account for most of the credit. I am the balance of several forces, the same water is the balance of my conscience, if the water has an accident because of this, I am not afraid of subverting the country, let the world be miserable, since you want the world to be in chaos, it is better to do what you want. Since I dare to speak big, I must have this ability. I also tell you that no matter how many years of turmoil there are, I guarantee that this world is still the world of Daqi. ”

These few words shocked Mu Zhen's heart, and she knew that he was true to his word, and she had worked hard to this day, and it was not difficult to say that this was not the result she wanted to see. Moreover, as long as there is turmoil, it will be difficult for her to reunite with her family.

But if she wants to stop all this, she can only move out of the world and the common people: "The adult is an official of the imperial court, and for a woman to bet on the common people of the world, even if the adult can win, it is inevitable that he will 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue smiled sadly and said: "The people in the world, I have shouldered too much for these, I haven't returned home for three years for these responsibilities, and I can't do my filial piety in front of my parents; It was even more for the glory of these false plans that he almost became a negative person. Walking to Mu Zhen's side, he pointed out: "For the sake of our family, we have worked hard to this day, and it is not easy to get to this point. Shui'er is my wife, and I see her as the only one, and if she ever had, I couldn't guarantee that she would do anything drastic. ”

Mu Zhen lowered her head, hid her expression and said, "What the adults said, the foolish woman doesn't know!" ”

Undoubtedly, this sentence aroused Lu Jue's anger, and after saying so much, people were still indifferent. Lu Jue smiled bitterly and reprimanded angrily: "Mu Zhen, Yu Liuli, Jin Guo Xizuo, which identity is the one you dare not know the most!" ”

Mu Zhen was startled, stared at Lu Jue in disbelief and said, "You investigate me!" ”

Lu Jue smiled coldly and said, "You have done too much. ”

Mu Zhen understood what was wrong with a little use of her brain, and blurted out: "That note!" ”

Lu Jue stretched out his hand to open the door and turned his back to Mu Zhen and said, "I can give you time to think about it, but this time is limited." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Leaving Muzhen alone to worry about which is the best result for herself.
