Chapter 67

It is said that Zhou Zhao was ordered to come to the East Chamber, and as soon as he stepped in, he met Lu Erren who came out together, so he stopped and waited for the two of them to approach, and the expressions of the two of them were clear as they got closer and closer. Zhou Ruoshui, who was moving forward, frowned lightly, looking preoccupied and full of worries; And Lu Jue, who was walking behind, was silent and followed silently. Seeing this situation, he was angry, and swallowed back inexplicably, and barely showed a smile and said hello.

He didn't explain his intentions, Lu Jue had already understood his purpose, raised his hand and beckoned an accompanying guard, greeted Zhou Zhou Zhao with a few words of instructions to him, and several people went out of Zhou's house together.

When the group came to the state yatian, it was almost dusk, and the new governor had not yet arrived, and the post of governor was still temporarily replaced by Wang Wenan. As soon as he had finished his official business and had dinner, the official came to report Lu Jue's arrival. He had already learned Lu Jue's methods, and he didn't dare to slack off, put on his official uniform again, and went out to greet him non-stop.

Although Zhou Ruoning was detained, without Lu Jue's order, no one dared to move a finger of her. Although there is special treatment, but in the prison she still suffered, those snakes, insects, rats and ants hiding in the corner, have long scared this pampered eldest lady in the boudoir to the point that she is not possessed and her face is discolored. At this time, hiding in the corner, trembling and frightened, where is there still half a shadow of a peerless beauty, I am afraid that at this moment, she finally understands that she must no longer rely on Lu Jue's previous love for herself! He is no longer the Zhou Ruoning of the past, he can be innocent and not consider current affairs, and he is no longer the young man he was back then, he has experienced ups and downs and is in officialdom, he is a glorious and high king in his life, like a tiger, and she finally understands what regret is!

In fact, it's not too late, and waking up in time before making a big mistake can be regarded as turning back. This is also comforting to Lu Jue, even if everything is really irreparable, it is worth it for everyone to be safe.

What kind of place is the prison, how could Lu Jue, who is the secretary of Dali Temple, not know that Zhou Ruoshui came forward to protect Zhou Quan under his subordinates. Lu Jue's guards are all around, and the well-trained dead soldiers in the palace can be a hundred, and it is not surprising that he stands across the sword with a righteous body, which is enough to deter.

Where have the prisoners in prison seen this kind of formation, and Wang Wenan had sent someone to reprimand them in advance, these prisoners had long been so frightened that they hid in the corner, and who dared to raise their heads.

The prison was dim, Zhou Ruoshui took advantage of the faint light, carefully searched one by one, and finally found Zhou Ruoning curled up in the corner in the one near the end, Zhou Ruoshui hurriedly walked to the door of the cell and called: "Sister, sister, I am Shui'er, I will take you back with my eldest brother, sister 、、、、、、"

Zhou Ruoning, who heard Zhou Ruoshui's voice, trembled slightly, like a dreamy sound, which made her hesitate for a moment, and then slowly raised her head when she heard a few more sounds. When he saw that his relatives were outside the prison door, tears could no longer be controlled, and he quickly stood up and staggered over, grabbed Zhou Ruoshui's hand tightly, and begged with horror in his eyes: "Shui'er, Shui'er, I, I really know it's wrong, you help me beg Lord Lu and let him let me go!" I don't want to stay here anymore, I'm so scared, I know it's wrong、、、、、、" kept muttering a few words, enough to see that she was scared a lot here.

Zhou Ruoshui leaned against her head on the railing, gently patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Sister, don't be afraid, we're here to pick you up." ”

Zhou Zhao also whispered: "Don't be afraid, Ning'er, my brother is here, my brother promises, you will not appear in this kind of place again in the future!" No matter who it is, I won't allow him to do that. No matter what his father instructed, seeing his sister's situation, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, squinted at Lu Jue, who was speechless, and warned him with words.

After hearing the words of the two, Zhou Ruoning still couldn't believe it, his frightened eyes looked at Lu Jue standing behind them without blinking, and asked in a low voice: "Lord Lu really wants me to go back." "That cautious look, anyone who sees it will feel distressed.

Seeing that Zhou Ruoning was frightened, Zhou Zhaohu turned his head to look at the female prison officer who was standing on the side, motionless, and scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, open the door quickly." ”

The female prison officer was frightened by this sound, and quickly said, "Yes, yes," so she opened the door in a panic.

As soon as Zhou Zhao opened the door, he was the first to rush in, holding Zhou Ruoning in his arms and whispering to comfort her, and then Zhou Ruoshui also followed, she put the cloak in her hand and Zhou Ruoning on it, and then helped her leave with Zhou Zhao.

And Lu Jue just silently followed behind them without saying a word or explaining, this matter is undoubtedly Lu Jue has become a villain, the reason why he did this is not wanted, in the future, she will suffer a big loss because of this temper! The ignorant first love in the past did not have a good result, how could he really rest easy, no matter when he hoped that Zhou Ruoning would have a good result.

It can be said that Zhou Ruoning's appearance today, his heart is more uncomfortable than anyone else, even if it is still difficult for him to get rid of that shackle today, such as his beautiful first love, no one wants to forget, even if there is no original heartbeat at this time, it is still a trace of sweetness in his heart!

It was late at night when several people returned to Zhou's house, and Zhou Ruoshui didn't say a word to Lu Jue, so he directly accompanied Zhou Ruoning to Xi Ning Yuan, and he didn't come back until midnight.

And our extremely clever Lord Siqing waited stupidly outside this door, and before anyone returned, he chose to leave silently. On one side is the complaint of his father-in-law and mother-in-law and eldest brother, and at this time, there is more misunderstanding of Zhou Ruoshui, and his mood can be imagined. I didn't know where to find a pot of wine, so I stepped onto the terrace alone, a pot, and a glass.

Sitting on the soft chaise longue, my mind was full of the warmth of the past and Zhou Ruoshui here, and I couldn't help but feel sad, looking up at the starry sky, my heart was inexplicably desolate. A glass of sake went down his stomach, and the spicy taste of the wine made him cough a few times, and his eyes were moist, he didn't know whether he was choked by the wine, or he really cried without a trace!

And so he threw the flask down until it was empty and his eyes began to blur. But at this time, the pain in his heart became more and more obvious, he hung his head and smiled bitterly, lying to people who said that a drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows. After a moment he staggered to his feet, walked to the railing, and held his hands tightly, hanging his head without a trace of life.

In the next few days, Lu Jue went out early and returned late with various excuses, except for the morning and evening greetings, he tried to avoid contact with the Zhou family, he was not afraid of being reprimanded, he was afraid of reluctance when leaving.

When Zhou Ruoshui came to see him, he also avoided him on official grounds.

It was another night and he didn't return, and when he stepped into Zhou's house again, it was already the morning of the next day, and Lu Jue was already exhausted after several days of traveling. When he returned to his room, he didn't even take off his shoes and fell asleep on the bed, but he didn't sleep peacefully after a few days of hard work, and the nightmare of several days reappeared, in which he was tortured, each more terrible, each more terrifying, each more real. He kept muttering to himself, struggling with all his might, trying his best to wake up.

When he woke up, he sat on the bed and clutched the clothes on his chest, panting heavily, trying to suppress the fear that came out of his heart, but everything in the dream kept echoing in his mind, and the fear drilled into his bones like a cold wind, making him tremble.

At this moment, a sharp knock on the door pulled Lu Jue back to reality, and he adjusted his breathing to let people in.

With a squeak, the door was opened, and then the Moon Shadow broke in, and after seeing Lu Jue's solemn expression, she didn't say much and said directly: "Something happened to the young master." ”

"Let's talk as we go!" It seemed that he knew that the situation was serious, Lu Jueqiang cheered up, got up and went out with her.

On the way, Moon Shadow told Lu Jue about the cause and effect of the incident, it turned out that Lu's mother Ruan first came to Hangzhou and wanted to walk around in Hangzhou, so he played accompanied by Zhou Ruoshui, and when everyone entered the restaurant for lunch at noon, there was a group beating incident there, although the accompanying guards quickly subdued the troublemaker, Ruan was still slightly injured. The incident was so serious that the guards pressed the troublemakers back.

When Lu Jue learned about this, it was already the afternoon of the same day, and when he arrived in Dongxiang, Ruan's had already finished taking medicine and was about to rest. Lu Guohao has gone to rest in his old age, and only his second son Lu Tianhua is still serving in front of the bed.

Seeing Ruan's pale face, Lu Jue felt a burst of self-blame in his heart, if he had been with him, this incident would definitely not have happened! He walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, sat on the seat vacated by Lu Tianhua, and asked about Ruan's condition, although he heard his mother say that it didn't matter, but he still didn't feel at ease to ask Liu Fuling for clarification.

Ruan Shi patted his arm, smiled kindly, and comforted him: "What can my mother do, it's just some skin trauma, you have to rest well after a night of hard work." ”

"Don't worry, the child can still hold on." After that, Lu Jue fell into deep thought, it is no coincidence that Ruan's injury is not a coincidence, his parents have just come to Hangzhou for a few days, at this moment it can only be said that someone did it deliberately, since the person has been arrested, it is necessary to try it for a trial!

Ruan Shi saw his son frowning, and his face was tired: "Don't think about these troublesome things anymore, things will always be solved one day, why force yourself to find out!" ”

In order not to worry about Ruan's family, Lu Jue replied with a reassuring smile, and said softly: "Mother thinks too much, mother knows children best, children have felt less since they were young, so they have no energy, really children have nothing to do!" ”

Ruan Shi looked at Lu Jue and said: "Mother has raised you for twenty-one years, mother and son are connected, what do you want, how can you not know what you want, do you plan to severely punish those people?" ”

To tell the truth, he must be considered a ruthless person; Telling lies, he didn't want to lie to her. So he resigned: "Mother rest assured that the child is measured, you should rest early after taking the medicine, and the child will come to see you later." He didn't allow Nguyen to speak, stood up and walked out the door.

But Ruan's voice came from behind him, and that sentence made him stop, "Have you seen the water?" When those people were fighting, Shui'er was guarding me tightly, and she felt as if someone had cut her. Just now, my mother asked about her injury, but he didn't mention it, I'm worried about Shui Er now! ”

Lu Jue's whole heart was pinched, he turned his head to look at Ruan, and blurted out: "Shui'er is injured, I, I'll go and see." Before the words fell, the man had already left the door.

I don't know how injured Zhou Ruoshui was, Lu Jue, who was full of worry, hurried to Huaixian Water Pavilion without stopping. But when he walked to the door of Zhou Ruoshui's boudoir, he heard Zhao Yan's voice and stopped at the door.

Zhou Ruoshui was slashed in the back, although it was not very deep, but he still had to recuperate, and it was estimated that he could only lie on the bed for a few days in a row, recuperating quietly.

Zhao Yan sat on the seat in the center of the bedroom, twisted his eyebrows through the screen, stared at the layers of veils that had been put down, and said, "It has been so long since you were injured like this in order to save his mother, and it is impossible for him not to know that such a big thing has happened?" Why didn't you see him? The words were full of displeasure that Lu Jue was not here.

Zhou Ruoshui endured the pain, moved her body, bent her arms to hug the pillow, her chin gently pressed against her frowning, at this time she also wanted to know why Lu Jue avoided herself for several days. But even after thinking about it, he still tried his best to cover it up for him: "Something happened recently, Rokuro always goes out early and returns late, he doesn't even have time to rest, so these little things don't have to bother him,"

Since picking up Zhou Ruoning, the two have not seen each other for four days, and Zhou Ruoshui has gone to look for it several times, but he has avoided it on the grounds of business. She knew that he was deliberately avoiding herself, and although she excused him, she still hoped for his arrival in her heart.

Brother and sister for several years, she is the person Zhao Yan cares about all the time! Therefore, although I can't see her expression through the layers of veils, I still know her expectations at the moment. After thinking about it, Zhao Yan resolutely got up and said: "The matter of the eldest lady has changed over time, and the lord can't bear to reprimand him a few words, what kind of gentleman is so narrow-minded!" I'm going to find him right now and ask where I'm going to put you!" ”

"Don't" Zhou Ruoshui forcibly got up regardless of the pain, so the wound was just bandaged and blood oozed out. She didn't think so, she didn't care about putting on her shoes and lifting the veil to block Zhao Yan's way, and said anxiously: "Brother Yan, although Shui'er wants to know Liulang's thoughts very much, I can wait for him to tell me personally, even if it is not the result I want, I want him to tell me personally, even if I wait for another three years, I have no regrets!" ”

This sentence spread outside the door and made Lu Jue, who was about to leave, stop, and walked back to the door uncontrollably, but he hesitated just as he was about to push the door open. I can't help but think about it, all Zhou Ruoshui's accidents are caused by herself, what has she given her except to hurt herself, if she wants her to live a stable life, she has to keep her away from danger, maybe only letting go can she really be happy! Although this decision is heart-wrenching, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

Now that the decision had been made, it was time to be ruthless, and he endured the heartache and turned around and left the door. As soon as he walked to the staircase, he ran into Gu Shuangyun, who was just going upstairs, and a strong smell of medicine came to his nose, and Lu Jue stopped here and waited for her to come forward.

When Gu Shuangyun saw Lu Jue standing at the top of the stairs, he thought that he had seen Zhou Ruoshui and was about to leave. couldn't help but frown, walked forward and saluted: "Shuangyun has seen the master, has the master seen the lady?" ”

Lu Jue nodded in a trance and said, "Yes" Looking at the medicine bowl that was not steaming, his brows couldn't help frowning even tighter, and he raised his hand and gently touched it to test its temperature, and then urged: "Don't be polite to me, the medicine will be very bitter if it is cold for a while, and I will leave first if I have something to do." Bypassing Shuangyun, he just stepped down a step, and stopped again: "I have candied red fruits in my room, you go and get some, and it will be better for her to eat one after drinking." When he finished speaking, he went downstairs

"Strange, what's going on these days." Looking at Lu Jue's figure that was about to disappear, he was a little inexplicable, and when he turned his head and saw Zhou Ruoshui standing in the corridor in a single dress, looking at his distant back sadly, he seemed to understand something in his heart.

Zhou Ruoshui almost wanted to open his mouth but stopped, silently watching him go away, wearing a snow-white single coat with indescribable sadness.

Just heard his voice in the house, Zhou Ruoshui hurried out in ecstaty, but what he saw was his distant back.

Finally saw but never said a word, fate came and went back to the beginning, if Zhou Ruoshui was at a loss, waiting for three years without results, made her heart ache! Will we have to wait another three years, but I don't know if we can wait for the results! I don't know if I have no regrets or regrets, but I can get him with him in this life!
