At this time, Lu Jue was completely panicked, looking at Zhou Ruoshui, whose eyes were red and full of disbelief and resentment, his heart was full of self-blame, afraid that she would escape without listening to his explanation, so he grabbed her hand tightly, and said helplessly: "You, you, how can you be here." ”

Thinking back to the past, Zhou Ruoshui completely understood why Zhou Ruoning would be on the side when he was alone with Lu Jue; Why he looked at her with warmth in his eyes now fully understood. It turns out that she is just a dispensable accessory, whether it is a sister or a man who is devoted to herself, it is all about reusing her. When she heard Zhou Ruoning's words, she still had some illusions, but now that she heard Lu Jue speak in person, she felt that her heart was like being cut a few times, and it hurt so much that even the breath she exhaled hurts. Zhou Ruoshui forced the grief in his heart, but the tears still remained uncontrollably. She clutched the placket on her chest, and said with a grief-stricken look: "Shui'er wants to know what Liulang plans to do with Shui'er, whether to let Shui'er serve as a concubine and slave as my sister said, or dislike Shui'er for being a low-status person and give me to others as an item." ”

Liulang is the intimate nickname of Zhou Ruoshui and Lu Jue's correspondence, which sounds so kind and sweet, but now it is so painful. He planned to tell Zhou Ruoshui what was on his mind, but who knew that it was in this case. Seeing her desperate eyes, he didn't know what to do at this time, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like this, you know I won't do this." ”

"Rokuro has thought so, hasn't he? Anyway, for you, Shui'er is just a wrong choice, and if you really have the cheekiness to go back with you, it will only be disgusting. Although Shui Er is a weak woman and doesn't understand any big truths, she still has a little self-knowledge and backbone. That is, Shui Er would rather be alone and keep this empty promise, and will never be at the mercy of anyone, let alone have the cheekiness to step into the Lu family. After speaking, he wanted to leave, but he couldn't break free of Lu Jue's hand after struggling for a long time, so he turned his head and didn't look at him.

These words are so resolute, Lu Jue can't understand it. He didn't care about hurting her at this time, and his only thought was to leave her behind. When Zhou Ruoshui struggled, he used a little more force in his hand, and asked: "Tell me if she did something again." ”

"What's the use of asking about this now."

"Where did she keep Xiao Ai? You know if you don't! ”

"Do you really care? Liulang, my fiancé, the Langjun I look forward to at night, but so what, after all, the five-year expectation is finally defeated by the first love. Zhou Ruoshui clutched the clothes on Lu Jue's chest, and it was difficult to control his emotional accusation: "Five years!" Why did I get such a result, I also have a heart, and it will hurt, even if you don't care if it will break my heart, you can't sprinkle salt on the wound again and again, and tell me, what did I do wrong, and you want you to do this to me? ”

Lu Jue hugged her in his arms and said, "I was wrong, I know I was wrong." I 、、、、、、"

"Since Lord Lu has no intention, Shui'er will not force it. Since then, Shui'er and Gongzi have nothing to do with each other, and the matter of saving Xiao Ai will not bother Gongzi. ”

How desperate and helpless such words have to be, Lu Jue can't even hold her with the last trace of courage. At this moment, Zhou Ruoshui broke away and ran out.

"Water." Looking at the closed door at a loss. He stood there for an unknown amount of time before he was startled by the sound of the door being pushed open.

After the door opened, I saw Liu Fuling breaking in, and said anxiously: "The young master is not good, the young master is not good, the young 、、、、、、"

When I saw Liu Fuling's belly fire, I knew where it was going, and pointed at him angrily and said, "Where have you been, didn't I let Shui'er find you?" Why is she here. ”

Liu Fuling was stunned when asked, and she didn't know what kind of anger he was doing. I didn't spit out a word for a long time, and then I thought that it wasn't the time to talk about this, so I hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, the young lady followed the eldest lady away." ”

"What." Still a step late, Lu Jue secretly screamed badly, grabbed Liu Fuling's arm and asked, "When did you leave?" ”

Liu Fuling said: "Not long after leaving, I don't know what the young lady told the eldest lady, anyway, the eldest lady was very angry when she left, I think the young lady is going to suffer this time,"

Lu Jue knows better than anyone else what will happen to Zhou Ruoshui when he goes back this time, and how much Zhou Ruoshui will be affected because of his momentary anger! He slammed his fist on the table, blaming himself, but after thinking about it, now is not the time to be angry and blame himself, and he tried his best to control himself, calm himself down, and muttered non-stop: "What to do, what to do、、、、、、"

Seeing that people were so anxious that there would be a good one, Liu Fuling immediately came up with an idea and said: "It's really not good, let's go directly to ask for someone, I think as a young master, the eldest lady should be 、、、、、、"

At this time, I heard Zhao Yan's voice coming from outside the door: "Lu Jue, you come out, Lu Jue, did you hear it, you come out for me." ”

Followed by Yu Xianglan's voice: "Shopkeeper Zhao, just wait a while, didn't Dr. Liu go and invite you?" ”

"Get out of the way, Lu Jue, you come out."

"Shopkeeper Zhao."

Listening to this person's voice, Lu Jue had a headache, turned his head and looked at Liu Fuling reproachfully. "Why is he here?" ”

Liu Fuling looked even more aggrieved, she obviously asked him to wait downstairs, why couldn't he wait for a while. He shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I'll let him go right away." "Just leaving.

Lu Jue stretched out his hand to stop him: "Forget it, let him in!" ”

"Yes," he replied and withdrew.

After Poria left, Lu Jue sighed and sat down, today's matter was already annoying enough, and the thought of dealing with this person made his mood worse. Reaching out to carry the pot and pouring a cup of tea, he was about to drink it, but the teacup was taken away before it was delivered to his mouth. He looked up and saw that the angry Zhao Yan was holding a teacup and looking at him with angry eyes, and he knew what it was for, but he was not in the mood to deal with him. Just barely smiled and said hello; "Brother Yan."

Zhao Yan was going to ship a batch of goods to Fuzhou, but he didn't know when he would come back. He couldn't let go of Lu Jue, and decided to explain some things to him, but as soon as he came, he saw Zhou Ruoning taking Zhou Ruoshui away, and he couldn't stop him, and he didn't see Lu Jue's figure, so he came up angrily.

He put the teacup on the table and stared at Lu Jue with anger in his eyes. It's strange, how could this person look at him pleasing to the eye two days ago? He slapped the table and said, "You are still in the mood to drink tea, Xiao Ruo went back with the eldest lady, do you know what will happen to Xiao Ruo?"

This person is Zhou Ruoshui's brother-in-law, and he has taken good care of Zhou Ruoshui for several years, even if he hates himself again, as Zhou Ruoshui's fiancé, he should not have any displeasure with him. Lu Jue suppressed his anger, stood up and said calmly: "I know, but we need a suitable reason to ask for someone, otherwise 、、、、、、"

It turned out that this person was a cowardly person, and he pointed to Lu Jue and sneered: "It's enough for you to be cowardly, don't take me with you." "Turn around and just about to leave.

"Stop." Seeing that he was leaving, Lu Jue knew what he was going to do, took a few steps to close the door before Zhao Yan, turned around and stared at this impulsive man: "Do you know the consequences of you going like this?" Trespassing into a private house is a trivial matter, but what if you bear the name of a prodigal son! Do you still expect my father-in-law to let you go regardless of his daughter's reputation, being scolded is small, and losing your job will be in vain. ”

Zhao Yan snorted disapprovingly and said: "I am a talent on the ground, so why be afraid if I have no long things!" I have today all thanks to Xiao Ruo who saved my life at the beginning, and I can sacrifice my life for her safety. ”

Zhao Yan can do this for Zhou Ruoshui, Lu Jue is very comforted, but he doesn't want to risk his life at every turn, this is something only a fool would do, Lu Jue glanced at him and said: "Do you think you can save her if you don't want to risk your life for Shui'er?" Problems cannot be solved by impulse, so use your brains more. ”

Zhao Yan didn't understand this, but he was powerless and just a shopkeeper of many shops in the Zhou family, so what if he didn't. He wilted and said: "I have no power and no power, if you are willing to help her, why should I do something so stupid to make Xiao Ruo sad." ”

Seeing that the person calmed down, Lu Jue said calmly: "I know you're worried about Shui'er, and I'm the same." But if there is no legitimate reason, even the officials of the imperial court cannot be lawless and trespass into private houses. With Zhou Ruoning's temper, if it is not a foolproof strategy, not to mention that people can't be rescued at that time, we will only be in a dilemma. ”

Zhao Yan was a little overwhelmed after hearing this, and thought about it, Zhou Wenfeng was the in-law of King Luo, and he was a royal nobleman. A small second-rank official, how could he put it in his eyes, he lowered his head and said listlessly: "Then what should I do." ”

Lu Jue sat down on the table, frowned, and said, "Since the matter has happened, even if you feel sorry for yourself and complain to each other, it will not help." Zhou Ruoning, I will definitely make her pay for what she did today, and what we have to do now is to think of a perfect solution to Shui'er's worries. He closed his eyes and was out of mind, and he tried his best to calm himself down, only then could he figure it out. It is not difficult to know that Zhou Ruoshui is sure that he has suffered some flesh and skin this time, and it is false to say that he is not distressed, and what he has to do now is to plan for the future, so that Zhou Ruoning does not dare to touch them.

Zhao Yan, who had been waiting for Lu Jue's next sentence, hadn't heard his next sentence for a long time, and raised his eyes to see him there, his eyes slightly closed, holding his head with one hand, looking calm and relaxed. An inexplicable fire rose and just took a step forward, he was stopped by someone, he turned his head to look at the person who was blocking the road and said, "What are you stopping me for?" ”

Liu Fuling raised her finger and gestured to her lips, and whispered: "Shhh, be quiet, my young master doesn't like to be noisy when he thinks of a way again." ”

"He's trying to figure it out?" Who would believe it, there would be people who were so calm and idle that they could find a way, but in order to save Zhou Ruoshui, they could only rely on him.

"There it is." Suddenly, Lu Jue opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and he knew that he had an idea at a glance, he raised his hand and beckoned to Liu Ling, signaling him to come over.

Liu Fuling understood and walked over and said, "The young master commands." ”

Lu Jue smiled slightly and said confidently: "The old couple we met that day, do you remember what they said." ”

"Remember, what's wrong." Suddenly, he suddenly realized, looked at Lu Jue with glowing eyes and said excitedly: "Oh, are you planning to 、、、、、、"

"It's worthy of the roundworm in my stomach, so you can first write down what they said on paper, and then" Lu Jue took out a unicorn-shaped jade from his arms, pondered for a while and touched it: "Can the general stationed in Jiangnan be replaced." ”

Liu Fuling shook her head and said, "No, it seems to be Wu Min." After thinking that his young master had a holiday with this Wu Min, he bent down and said worriedly: "Oh, I forgot about this stubble, and Lord Jiang specially instructed me when I left Beijing." ”

"Forget it, it's a blessing or a curse, I am allowed to go out of Beijing and everyone knows it, even if they want to do something, they don't dare to be right. Let's be careful, if anything, I'll figure it out. He handed the jade huang in his hand to Liu Fuling and said: "You go to the post station to find Lei Gang, take my official uniform, take this jade Huang and go with him to General Wu Min to borrow some people, go and go back quickly." ”

"Yes," Liu Lingling took the token and left immediately.

Zhao Yan didn't understand why Lu Jue said this, but now he had no other way than to trust him

Zhou Ruoshui's fate can be imagined, after Zhou Ruoning went back, he was directly taken into the secret prison. In order to relieve the hatred in her heart, Zhou Ruoning ordered the tall mother-in-law to serve her severely, but she sat steadily on the side as if watching a drama.

The tall woman whipped Zhou Ruoshui hard with a whip, and after more than 20 whips, she could no longer hear Zhou Ruoshui's shouts, immediately stopped the movements in her hand, squatted down to check, and found that Zhou Ruoshui, who had been beaten and bruised all over her body, had fainted. He stood up and said back, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss has fainted." ”

"Is it" Zhou Ruoning raised his eyelids expressionlessly and glanced at Zhou Ruoshui on the ground, stood up and walked over, pinched his skirt with his fingers, raised his foot and kicked Zhou Ruoshui, and when he saw that the person was not moving, he said coldly: "Wake her up." ”

"Yes" said the tall woman who lifted the wooden bucket that was placed aside and splashed the cold water inside on Zhou Ruoshui's body.

The bloody scars on his back, Zhou Ruoshui, who was unconscious by the splash of cold water, curled up his body at the moment, and his whole body trembled because of the pain.

Seeing that the person woke up, Zhou Ruoning also squatted down and looked at the injured person, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't blame me, this is all forced by Lu Jue, who let him hide from me." ”

Zhou Ruoshui raised his head tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "After the fight, my sister should also be angry, then, then Sister Lao will choose someone else to go!" ”

Zhou Ruoning said coldly: "You don't want Bao Xiaoai's life, do you?" ”

"Shui'er is insignificant, as long as my sister raises her noble hand and lets Xiao Ai go, Shui'er will be at my sister's disposal." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of the skirt in front of him, and said sincerely: "Even if my sister wants Shui'er's life, Shui'er has no complaints." ”

"Hmph, you thought of death." Zhou Ruoning got up and snorted coldly and said ruthlessly: "I seem to have told you that even if you die, I will never let Bao Xiaoai go, right!" ”

Zhou Ruoshui clutched the corner of Zhou Ruoning's skirt and begged bitterly: "The son is a high guan in an important position, how can he be influenced by my little woman." My sister's appearance is captivating, and Bing Xue is smart, she must have her own means to attract the attention of her son, so why bother to embarrass Shui'er, why bother to harm Xiao Ai. ”

Why, why, every word in the reply letter was full of concern for his fiancée; The tender words in the letter are all about his feelings for his fiancée. And the heart he had for himself back then had long been lost. If this alone can catch Lu Yiping's heart, he would already be a minister under his skirt, so why bother to be a ruthless person in this move.

The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I raised my finger and pressed it on Zhou Ruoshui's wound, my ears were full of Zhou Ruoshui's painful cry, and seeing her trembling, Zhou Ruoning's heart felt very happy. She stared at Zhou Ruoshui and said fiercely: "You didn't understand what I said, did you, I said that if you die, I won't let Bao Xiaoai go, I will let her die ten times worse, whether you want it or not, it's best to go back to me obediently." Otherwise," she stood up and picked up the handkerchief hanging on the armrest of the chair, wiped her fingers, threw the handkerchief at her feet, raised her foot and stepped on it fiercely, and said viciously: "Don't blame me for giving you another gift, it will be Lu Jue's something." ”

Zhou Ruoshui supported his body and said with all his might: "Shui'er has asked Gongzi to write a resignation document, and I have nothing to do with him in the future." Even if my sister forces me to go, it's useless! ”

Zhou Ruoning stared at Zhou Ruoshui in surprise, and said suspiciously: "He really wrote it, show it to me." Stretched out his hand and asked Zhou Ruoshui for it.

"Me"

"How dare you lie to me." pinched Zhou Ruoshui's chin and said: "You think it's fun to lie to me, Zhou Ruoshui, you'd better go back to me obediently, otherwise how many whips you have on you, how many will be on Bao Xiaoai." He threw her down and left.

Looking at the ruthless and cold back, Zhou Ruoshui was completely desperate. Lu Jue's negativity and Zhou Ruoning's ruthlessness, but even if he uses death to escape, it is impossible for him to do anything.

When Zhou Ruoning couldn't see the figure at all, Zhou Ruoshui struggled to get up.

The tall woman standing on the side immediately stretched out her hand to support Zhou Ruoshui, and said helplessly: "Second Miss, don't blame the slave maid, the slave maid is just a subordinate who doesn't dare to disobey the eldest lady's orders." Originally, she thought that Zhou Ruoshui would talk about the eldest lady, and she could wait a few days to achieve her wish. Lu Jue's name is known to everyone, no matter how arrogant the eldest lady is, it is impossible for her to fight with the official, she doesn't explain it clearly now, and when she settles accounts after the autumn, she can't eat and leave.

With the support of the tall mother-in-law, Zhou Ruoshui stood up tremblingly, she stood up against the wall, took out a small paper bag from her sleeve and handed it to the tall mother-in-law and said: "This is what I asked for from Dr. Liu, this is the best gold sore medicine, Dr. Liu said that it will be almost fine if I apply it again this time, so I will trouble Mother Wu to help Xiao Ai with medicine." ”

Mother Wu said with courtesy: "Second Miss, what are these words!" This is what a slave should do, don't worry! ”

Zhou Ruoshui bowed slightly and said, "Thank you." ”

This shocked Wu's mother, and Wu's mother was flattered and said: "Second Miss, this is unacceptable, slaves, slaves can't stand it, slaves and maids send Miss back." Hurriedly grabbed Zhou Ruoshui's arm, and said flatteringly: "Second Miss, the slave maid is also a last resort, you must not mention this matter to the second aunt, if the second aunt knows, the slave and the slave maid have a hundred lives, and it is not enough to die." ”

Zhou Ruoshui glanced at her, smiled weakly and said weakly: "I have nothing to do with Lord Lu anymore, so why should you worry." Pushing away Wu's mother's hand, she staggered and leaned against the wall, and walked out of the prison step by step.

Mother Wu knew that she would be spared, and thanked Zhou Ruoshui again and again behind her: "Slave and maid Miss Xie Er's grace of sparing her life, slave and maid Miss Xie Er." ”

It can be seen that Lu Jue's reputation has reached the point where women and children know it and everyone is afraid of it.
