This time, no one dared to slack off for a long time, not only was the hall full of people, but also outside the door. Zhou Yi, who was standing at the front of this group of people, stepped forward a few times and saluted: "Back to the second aunt, except for the one who entered Beijing with the lord and his wife, all the subordinates in the mansion are here. ”

Lu Jue put down the teacup in his hand with a snort, leaned sideways on the arm of the chair, glanced at everyone standing in the hall, and asked, "What is the position of these people in the mansion?" ”

Zhou Yi didn't answer in a hurry, but glanced at Zhou Ruoning to get permission, and then pointed to his subordinates and introduced them one by one: "These five are first-class and second-class girls, who are on an errand in the second lady's house, and these four are second-class girls in the eldest young master's house, and the eldest girl and the county lord took advantage of them to the capital." The ten girls in the back are third-class girls, who are responsible for cleaning and tidying up the house; These are rough envoys, and she is the steward of the rough envoys, Wu 、、、、、、."

"Wait." Their eyes on Lu Jue can not be taken to heart, but there is an obvious non-waiting, it is impossible for him not to care. interrupted Zhou Yi's words.

After Zhou Yi hesitated slightly, he walked to Lu Jue's side and bowed down, and said very respectfully: "What does the second aunt command?" ”

Lu Jue stared at those subordinates and asked, "Why can't I see the other subordinates of the second lady here, is it possible that the second lady is the only one in front of the second lady to serve?" ”

Before Lu Jue's words were finished, Zhou Ruoning, who had been keeping his head down, was shocked, his body shook uncontrollably, his hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, and fear gradually appeared in his eyes.

And Wu's mother, who had whipped Zhou Ruoshui, was even more frightened and trembled, the second lady had a few fewer serving girls, and the second aunt, who was an official, would still ask, not to mention that she had whipped the second miss, although she said that she was acting according to orders, she was still afraid of being punished, and she closed her eyes and prayed to the Bodhisattva several times in her heart.

Zhou Yi was still older and had some insight, and replied steadily: "Madame is old, and the second lady is worried that Madame will not adapt to the water and soil in the north, and it just so happens that there are two people around her who are from the north, so she let them go with her, and only Xiao Ai is left by her side." ”

"Really!" Lu Jue naturally knew the falsehood here, he was not in the mood to care, but looked at the commander of all this with sharp eyes, snorted lightly, stood up and said: "Lei Gang, take these subordinates out for interrogation one by one, as long as you don't ask the results for a day, you don't withdraw from the Zhou family for a day." During this period, no one in the Zhou family is allowed to come and go at will! ”

"Yes" After Lei Gang received the order, he turned around and was about to leave.

Just listened to "Lu Jue, don't go too far." Zhou Ruoning slapped the table and pointed at Lu Jue and said angrily: "People want faces, trees and bark, how can you make such a big fanfare for my Zhou family to face the people of Hangzhou in the future, and be imprisoned by my own son-in-law, it looks good or not." ”

Lu Jue smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the coffee table, leaned forward slightly and said, "The eldest lady still knows who I am!" The rat has skin, but the person has no manners, how can the eldest lady care about this face. He raised his hand and waved, "Take it away!" ”

"Yes," Lei Gang said to the crowd, "Come with me." "I walked out of the hall first, and stood at the door waiting for the people to come out one by one.

Even if she was unwilling, Zhou Ruoning still quieted down, but just when she breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Jue's voice came again, "You stay first." ”

She looked up and saw that Lu Jue was pointing at Mother Wu, Zhou Ruoning was shocked, staring at Lu Jue with fear in her eyes, as if she was looking at a monster, would he know something? Otherwise, no one will call her, why just call her.

Zhou Yi said: "Mother Wu, you leave the second aunt to have something to ask." ”

"Yes, yes." Mother Wu responded in horror, returned tremblingly, and saluted Lu Jue and said, "Slave, Wu and Wu pay a visit to the second aunt." ”

Lu Jue walked over slowly, and asked kindly, "You are also in charge of the Huan Bathroom, aren't you?" ”

I couldn't understand what this was going to do, looking at this kind face somehow being so frightened, Wu Ma stiffened her head and shrank back, and replied in a trembling voice: "Return, back to the second and second aunts, slaves, slave、、、、、、s, slave

Lu Jue lowered his face and asked, "What are you shaking?" ”

Wu Ma said: "No, it's nothing, slaves, slaves and maids、、、、、、"

Lu Jue raised his voice: "Answer me." ”

Being yelled at by Lu Jue, Wu's mother couldn't bear the fear anymore, her legs were weak, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed hard, and begged for mercy: "Second aunt spare your life!" The slave and maid also obey orders, cutting off Xiao Ai's fingers and whipping the second lady are all orders of the eldest lady, and the slave and maid are just subordinates who dare not disobey. Second aunt spares 、、、、、、"

"You 、、、、、、" Facing Lu Jue's chilling eyes, those words that were going to be fought and killed were pushed back, Zhou Ruoning swallowed his saliva, pretended to be calm, and said in a trembling voice with a stalk in his neck: "I did all this, and that Jian person didn't die at all, I can also tell you that the girl I gave you is Zhou Ruoshui." How about not regretting what you did! ”

Lu Jue gently hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Why, I have to thank you well!" Give me back such a good wife! You are my wife's sister and my father-in-law's eldest daughter, I won't do anything to you and let you have a long memory! He turned around and shouted at the door, "Someone." ”

Two infantrymen wearing armor and carrying steel knives came in, and the two of them clasped their fists and said, "Your Excellency commands." ”

Lu Jue pointed at Wu's mother with a gloomy face and said, "The Zhou family is a family of goodness, and it can't tolerate such evil servants." Chop off her hands and blast them out of the Zhou family. ”

The two said: "Yes" dragged Wu's mother, who begged for mercy, out, and the begging for mercy did not stop until two screams came. After a while, one of the infantrymen came in, holding a pair of severed hands, and replied, "What should I do with these hands, my lord?" ”

Lu Jue glanced at Zhou Ruoning lightly and said, "Leave it to Miss Zhou to make a thought!" He shook his hand and walked out.

Zhao Yan, who had been waiting for Lu Jue's next words, not only did he not mention anything to Zhou Ruoshui, but now he actually threw his hand and wanted to leave. couldn't suppress his anger and chased after him anxiously: "You can't go, Xiao Ruo 、、、、、、"

Lu Jue didn't slow down, and said with a slight anxiety on his face: "What do you think I left Poria out for, rest assured that he won't let Shui'er leave alone." He said that he was reassured, but he did not slow down.

Those fears lingered on his body, looking at his back like sitting on pins and needles, Zhou Ruoning realized the real purpose of Lu Jue not hesitating to report his name to come here, and Bao Xiaoai was just an excuse. Now not only is Bao Xiaoai a hot potato, but even Zhou Ruoshui can't handle it himself.

Liu Fuling, who was left behind by the order, waited at the door for a whole hour, and didn't see anyone come out, so he began to walk back and forth around the carriage in a little anxious, and when he didn't know what to do, he saw Zhou Ruoshui staggering out.

Finally waited for someone, Liu Fuling hurriedly walked over with a happy face, but before she could get closer, she found that something was wrong with Zhou Ruoshui. Not only do people stumble when they walk, but their long hair is still wet when they are draped behind them. Not only was his face pale, but he also saw beads of sweat under the illumination of the light, and he walked a few steps to catch up with Zhou Ruoshui and said, "Young lady, what's wrong with you." ”

The voice sounded so familiar, Zhou Ruoshui looked up and saw that it was Liu Fuling. He is here, so Lu Jue must also be there, he has suffered a lot for this person, but he doesn't care about hurting his heart at all, and he can't even wait for a few days. Zhou Ruoshui looked down at Liu Lingling holding his hand again, smiled palely, slowly withdrew his arm, leaned on the door and said, "Thank you" After speaking, he raised his leg and stepped out of the threshold.

Liu Fuling hurriedly chased after Zhou Ruoshui and said, "Young lady, get in the car first, young master, they are about to come out." ”

Lu Jue's words were only half of what Zhou Ruoshui said and left sadly, she thought that Lu Jue regretted her marriage back then. At this time, I thought that they were him and his sister. Zhou Ruoshui couldn't let himself be disgusted here, shook his head and refused to be kind: "No need, the slave maid should go back by herself first!" But the pain in her back made her consciousness blur, her whole head was dizzy and uncomfortable, and her feet were fluttering and difficult to stand firmly.

Seeing that the person was unknown, Liu Lingling hurriedly supported the person and took the opportunity to grab her wrist to check her pulse. He frowned. Hurriedly asked, "Did the eldest lady torture you?" ”

At this time, Zhou Ruoshui saw that Liu Lingling had begun to appear in the shadow, and his voice was as blurred as a voice outside the sky. Fei tried his best to raise his hand and waved it, and said with a pale smile: "I, I'm fine." But the injured body is indeed very honest, and it is so heavy that she can't support it at all, if it weren't for Liu Ling's support and support, she would have been paralyzed to the ground.

On the other side, Lu Jue stepped out of the hall and hurried out, and when he saw this scene, it was like someone had dug a corner of his heart. ran to the two of them, took Zhou Ruoshui from Liu Lingling's hands, took the whole person in his arms, did not hide his distress, and whispered softly: "Shui'er, if you hold on, I will take you away." ”

Lu Jue's voice was like a voice from outside the sky to his ears, Zhou Ruoshui slowly raised his head to look at his blurred face, it was difficult to distinguish what his expression was, she smiled sadly and said: "Don't worry about the son, slaves, slaves and maids themselves, you can." Pushing his hand away, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell back into his arms as soon as he took a step.

Zhou Ruoshui has been tightly protected by Lu Jue in his arms, Zhao Yan has no way to care for him, so he can only approach them and look at Zhou Ruoshui with concern, and said softly with a look of pity: "Xiao Ruo, I'm Brother Yan, how are you?" ”

Zhou Ruoshui would suffer some flesh and skin Lu Jue had long expected it, but when he really saw this scene, he didn't want to regret it, he picked up Zhou Ruoshui, who had no strength, and whispered close to her ear: "Even if you want to beat me into the abyss, you should first take care of your body!" If you are dizzy, just rest in my arms for a while, and I'll take you away. After saying that, he walked on with steady steps.

Hearing his mellow and gentle voice, Zhou Ruoshui was unexpectedly down-to-earth in his heart, obediently closed his eyes, tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder.

Liu Lingling followed Lu Jue and rushed to the carriage, and helped him into the carriage with his attendants.

Lu Jue, who entered the carriage, tried his best to make Zhou Ruoshui comfortable, he lifted the curtains of the car after he had done everything, and when he saw Liu Lingling still standing there in a daze, he shouted impatiently: "What are you still standing stupidly for, get on the car." ”

"Oh." Liu Fuling came back to her senses and hurriedly stepped on the footstool, and just as she was about to go in, she thought of Zhao Yan, so she turned her head and greeted Zhao Yan, who was standing still, "Zhao Gongzi, we are leaving, get in the car quickly." ”

"Okay" Zhao Yan replied in a panic, and immediately got into the carriage, he wanted to sit next to the injured Zhou Ruoshui and do his best to take care of her, but when he entered the carriage and saw that scene, he dispelled his thoughts, and sat down by the door. Tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhou Ruoshui leaning on Lu Jue's arms in a groggy manner, feeling so entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he was happy for Zhou Ruoshui, because the suffering she suffered was not in vain; It's sad that I cover my ears and steal the bell's true feelings, which have been faked at this time, and it seems that only brother and sister are commensurate.

It was already the second half of the night when several people rushed back to Deyue Tower, and after settling down the people, Liu Fuling rechecked her pulse and confirmed the situation, and handed over the medicine for the treatment of whiplashes, Xiangyue and Yu Xianglan, who had just checked Zhou Ruoshui's body, and he himself went to grab the medicine and dispense the medicine.

Zhou Ruoshui was injured and couldn't stay for a long time, even if he changed the medicine man for a while, he wouldn't wake up, so Yu Xianglan asked Lu Jue and Zhao Yan to go back to the guest room to rest first, but who knew that the two of them had been standing at the door when they left the door, and no one had any intention of leaving.

Lu Jue stared at the door and was reluctant to miss it, he was very self-blaming in his heart, Zhou Ruoshui was all caused by himself. It's because I haven't been able to gain her trust that this is the case! I ignored her feelings at the time, Zhou Ruoshui is my fiancée, unlike my subordinates, she only needs to obey orders, but she should tell her what she thinks in a timely manner.

Just now, Zhou Ruoshui was in front of Zhao Yan who had been holding back his breath, and now that no one has any, there is no need to endure it anymore, Zhao Yan forced down his anger and said, "Let's take a step to speak." ”

Lu Jue was now worried about Zhou Ruoshui, so he was in no mood to think about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay." So he went with him to the top of the stairs.

As soon as the two of them made up their minds, Zhao Yan asked sharply: "Since you have already gone to the Zhou Mansion at that time, why don't you just ask for someone, why do you have to suffer as little as a child." ”

Obviously, Lu Jue was not in the mood to deal with Zhao Yan, and said a little impatiently: "I don't need to let you know what I want to do." ”

Zhao Yan said angrily: "Do you know Xiao Ruo'、、、、、、?"

Lu Jue glanced at him sharply, and interrupted him in a sharp tone: "You are worried about Shui'er, you feel sorry for Shui'er, I am very grateful as a fiancé, but I am her fiancé, and I am only a lot more than that." ”

Zhao Yan became even more angry when he heard this, grabbed the clothes on his chest and said angrily: "Fiancé, you still have the face to admit that you are her fiancé, have you fulfilled your duties as a fiancé!" Who is the reason why she is what she is today! ”

Lu Jue said patiently and calmly: "We have something to say, you let go of your hand first." ”

Zhao Yan sneered twice and said, "What if you don't let go, let your subordinates arrest me in prison!" I promised Xiao Ruo that I wouldn't do anything to you, but what you did today was so chilling, I will take her away when Xiao Ruo wakes up. ”

His words angered Lu Jue, raised his hand to remove the hand on his chest, and said angrily: "I see who dares, I have a father-in-law and a wife and brother." When it's your turn to be an outsider, it's long and short. ”

Now Zhao Yan is speechless, yes! Although he is Zhou Ruoshui's brother-in-law, he is just a small shopkeeper in her family, what qualifications do he have! He lowered his hands and lost his hot temper just now, and said with a deflated voice: "I'm sorry. ”

No matter how sad Zhou Ruoshui was, Zhao Yan had been waiting beside her, and he would say that in a moment of anger just now, seeing him like this at this time, he was a little reluctant and was about to speak.

The door of the bedroom was opened, Yu Xianglan also walked out of it, and the two immediately went over to inquire about Zhou Ruoshui's situation.
