She looked at Tong Yuqing, who was still bent over and gagging, and then looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, and greeted him as if he was a guest at home, "It's here...... Originally, I just wanted to invite you here, but I didn't expect one more, but it doesn't matter," she said and looked at Tong Yuqing, "It seems that your parents are always the most important people in your heart, and only the return of your father can rekindle your fighting spirit to survive and resist the pain of losing your love." ”

She turned and walked back, "Since we're here, let's sit together." I'll go back to shower and change my clothes first, the man's dirty blood doesn't deserve to stay on me for a few more moments, and I ask you two to wait. ”

Soon after she left, there was a chaotic and noisy footsteps outside the hospital, Lu Xi and Yang Hao rushed with Bai Qiaoxuan's personal guards, Lu Xi saw the body that fell in front of the hall and was chopped into meat sauce, and there was a cry after an exclamation, Bai Qiaoxuan hurriedly rushed over to hug her, Lu Xi buried his head in his arms, did not dare to look up, and only came out of the fright after a while, crying and asked: "Qiao Xuan, what happened here?" Who killed my uncle? Who killed him so cruelly?! ”

"It's me."

Hearing this familiar voice, Luxi's tears lingered in his eyes, and he was speechless in shock. Bai Qiaoxuan helped her to the seat and sat down beside her. Yang Hao was like a fierce beast ready to attack, and his eyes never left the woman who had just walked out of the inner courtyard for a moment. The woman noticed Yang Hao's gaze and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm not your opponent, and I won't do anything to Qiao Xuan." We're all a family, so come and sit down. ”

After Yang Hao sat down, the woman's sweet but not greasy voice sounded again: "After becoming an overseer, this battle is different. I just wanted to invite you to the mansion for a while, and there were so many people behind me! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes were like water, and fell on her lightly, "It's really your Zhong family!" ”

Zhong Wanlu smiled like a flower, and people who didn't know would not associate her with the person who killed people without blinking at all, "No." You should say that it is really him Zhong Shubo. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan rubbed the white porcelain teacup on the side and said slowly, "Zhong Shubo? If I'm not mistaken, he seems to be your father. ”

"Father?" Zhong Wanlu seemed to have heard the best joke in the world, and giggled, "The word father, you should leave it to people like the second brother and sister who need him so much." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan said lightly: "Since I realized that there are dark ghosts around me, I have even checked Yuqing's relatives one by one, and your Zhong family is no exception, but the people I sent to investigate have not found a trace, so I can only put aside my suspicions about you for the time being." ”

Zhong Wan smiled, "That old fox is doing things, how can people find traces?" By his light, I will not be found by you. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes shone slightly, "I always thought that the old fox that had been dormant for a long time next to us was the secret stake of King Duluo, but now it seems that I am really putting the cart before the horse, and I am very wrong, King Duluo is the minion of Zhong Shubo, the 10,000-year-old fox demon." ”

Zhong Wanlu patted a few times with a pair of jade hands like peeling onions, "It is worthy of the person I fancie, smart." ”

Lu Xi was originally wandering in the world, but when he heard Zhong Wanlu's words, he suddenly looked at her, Zhong Wanlu looked at Lu Xi with a smile in his eyes, "Xi'er, cousin wants to persuade you, you are also the wife of the Overseer now, you can no longer be like a child, so uncontrollable, you should learn more from your second sister-in-law, in front of outsiders, you will always be calm and atmospheric!" ”

Lu Xi's clenched fist was held by Bai Qiaoxuan, and he said to Zhong Wanlu: "Sister-in-law invited me here today just to teach my wife?" ”

Zhong Wanlu stared at the two clasped hands for a moment, then smiled: "I thought you would have a lot of questions to ask me. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan patted Lu Xi's hand gently, Lu Xi gradually let go of his fist, and Bai Qiaoxuan played with the white porcelain teacup again, "What I want to ask is not as much as what my sister-in-law wants to tell me." Qiao Xuan still didn't bother to speak, and listened well. ”

Zhong Wanlu's smile is as enchanting as a rose, but unfortunately roses are beautiful, but they are full of dark thorns and are easy to hurt.

In fact, what Zhong Shubo has done in this life is complicated and complex, simple and simple. To put it simply, all he wants in his life is the position you are in now. To complicate things, the sins he committed for that position are too numerous to mention. But I hate him to the core, not because of that. You should know that Zhong Shubo was originally the son of a concubine, and Zhong Shunhua was not born to the same mother. ”

Lu Xi was still hostile to Zhong Wanlu, completely forgetting what Bai Qiaoxuan said, "What about being born from a half-mother?" My uncle and mother have always had a good relationship. ”

Zhong Wanlu smiled and groaned, "Really? The relationship is very good, will he kill Lu Jingwu, the nephew? The relationship is very good, will he harm Qiao Xuan, his nephew and son-in-law? ”

Lu Xi's face turned pale in an instant, "What did you say?" Big brother he ......"

Bai Qiaoxuan held her hand again and motioned for her to be calm. Zhong Wanlu continued: "How do you think your uncle died? Is it true that one of them became ill from overwork, one fell from his horse and died, and the other was born with a deformity? It's no wonder that you didn't have any suspicions, even my grandfather, your grandfather, didn't notice any of these things, and only thought that his main house was blessed, and none of the sons he gave birth to would survive. When he was dying, he still thought that Zhong Shubo was a filial son and grandson, and asked him to take care of the family business. ”

Lu Xi was so frightened by Zhong Wanlu's words that his back was cold, and his body couldn't stop shaking. Before she could get out of her fear, she was shocked by Zhong Wanlu's next sentence, "There is one more thing, no one except me and Zhong Shubo knows." Zhong Keqian and I were not born to the same mother. ”

Lu Xi exclaimed, "How is that possible? Uncle...... Zhong Shubo has never accepted a concubine. ”

Zhong Wanlu laughed, "My silly Xi'er, not all men are like the one next to you, they know how to be responsible, and if they have played with you, they will definitely marry you." ”

This time, not only Lu Xi, but Bai Qiaoxuan also changed his face, and shouted: "Zhong Wanlu! ”

Zhong Wanlu played with her nepotism, and Shi Shiran said, "I'm not deaf, you don't have to scream so loudly." You think it's dirty, it's because you've never seen anything dirtier. And these things really happened to my birth mother. She was originally the most noble woman in Puxi, but because of Lu Tiansheng's rebellion, she fell into the clouds. You must want to ask Zhong Shubo why he didn't take that position before Lu Tiansheng got up, since he wanted the position of overseer so much? That's because he hadn't disposed of all his brothers at that time, and my grandfather was still alive, and the Zhong family didn't have his turn to call the shots. You will also want to ask, why did my grandfather support his son-in-law instead of his son to sit on the position of overseer, the reason is also very simple, several of his sons-in-law are either too young, or they were half-dead by Zhong Shubo, and in his eyes, there has never been Zhong Shubo, so naturally he can only support Lu Tiansheng. After Lu Tiansheng ascended to the throne, Zhong Shubo was a person, because his mother had rejected him, so he pretended to save her, but in fact, it was just to torture her. He locked her in a room, defrauded her of what little money she had, made her dependent on him, and unwittingly captured her heart, even making her willingly give birth to a child for him. After I was born, Zhong Shubo took me back to the house and handed it over to his main room to raise, my mother-in-law was originally just a maid, and she didn't dare to refuse Zhong Shubo at all, and even after my mother was pregnant, she pretended to be pregnant, but Zhong Shubo was still not at ease, afraid that she would publicize the matter and soon let her die. Zhong Keqian and I were raised by the nurse in the house for three years. November 27 when I was three years old, I still remember how cold it was, there was goose feather snow flying in the sky, and the wind blew on my face like a knife, but Zhong Shubo chose to go out on such a day, I was curious, I wanted to know where he was going, so I begged the nurse to take me with him secretly. We followed him to a small cabin in the suburbs, and through the window I saw a woman in ragged clothes, kneeling at Zhong Shubo's feet, begging him to let her see her daughter. But no matter how much she asked, Zhong Shubo refused to agree to her. The woman was finally enraged and wanted to rush out of the house, but where was she Zhong Shubo's opponent? She was pressed against the broken bed by Zhong Shubo, and stabbed her throat one by one, just like I had just stabbed Zhong Shubo's throat......"

Lu Xi followed Zhong Wanlu's gaze to Zhong Shubo's corpse, and finally couldn't help but vomit, Bai Qiaoxuan patted her back and helped her to calm her breath, but her eyes never left Zhong Wanlu for a moment.

Zhong Wanlu glanced at Lu Xi indifferently, and continued: "The nurse and I were both frightened and screamed at the scene in front of us, and when Zhong Shubo found out about us, he quickly killed my nurse and the driver who brought us with the dagger that killed my mother. When they were despaired, Zhong Shubo dragged them into the wooden house and destroyed the corpses with a fire. He looked at me after setting the fire, and I felt the murderous intent in his eyes and cried out in fear. Maybe he still had a remnant of humanity at that time, and he didn't kill me, but picked me up and fled from that place. I don't remember where he took me, but I remember that after he changed into clean clothes, he kept asking me if I remember what had happened. Only a fool would tell him that that scene was engraved in my mind, and it will never be forgotten forever. He made sure I didn't remember what he had done, so he relieved himself and took me home. ”

Yang Hao asked, "At that time, you should only know that he killed a woman, not that he killed your mother." It's not difficult for you to investigate this matter, as long as you settle his henchmen, but why should you investigate this matter? Or rather, why do you hate him to the bone? ”

Zhong Wanlu's eyes suddenly sharpened, "He ruined my life for his so-called grand cause, fiddling with me like a chess piece, and marrying me to Lu Jingwu, who is not as good as a beast, shouldn't I hate him?!" Don't say it's me, who among you here, is not his pawn? The first person to be harmed by him was you, Tong Yuqing! ”

Tong Yuqing looked at Zhong Wanlu's finger pointing at her, a little confused, Zhong Wanlu smiled on her lips and asked, "Didn't you ever think that Feng Yongjun, who is brave and unscrupulous, how did he think of asking for a proton?" It's just that you can't think of it, after all, it's a long time, when Feng Yongjun was alive, you weren't born yet, but you haven't even thought about how your uncle unknowingly has enough power to confront you? ”

The blood on Tong Yuqing's lips disappeared without a trace in an instant. Zhong Wanlu said slowly: "When Zhong Shubo's brother was still there, he was not taken seriously, and often traveled all over the world alone, during this period he met a master, learned a lot from him, and even won out of the blue, borrowing the hand of Feng Yongjun, so that his master did not see the light of day for several years. In those years, Tong Baiyi was locked up with his master, and Tong Baiyi should be his junior brother. Zhong Shubo took special care of this junior brother, not only sent someone to send him back to Yejin safely, but also lent him men and horses to help him kill the twelve families who were sent away by your grandfather, so that he could get a group of dead soldiers who swore allegiance to him. It's a pity that he is too disobedient and always disobeys Zhong Shubo's intentions. If it weren't for the fact that he was a hidden danger to Pudong, I think Zhong Shubo would have been unable to tolerate him for a long time. Although Tong Baiyi is dead, but your uncle and nephew fight the law Pu Xinzhou into one, he can save the strength to deal with your Qiu Tong family and concentrate on dealing with the Lu family, for him, this result is beneficial and harmless. ”

Tong Yuqing gasped violently, trying her best to suppress her excitement, Bai Qiaoxuan was worried that she would not be able to bear the blow, so she hurriedly changed the topic, "Zhong Keqian's family was killed by you?" ”

Zhong Wanlu lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, "Yes, of course." Otherwise, do you think that just one Zheng family can send King Duluo? Joke! I learned through King Duluo that Zhong Shubo was going to attack Lu Jingfei in the name of the Zheng family, so I pushed the boat along the way and took the opportunity to give Zhong Shubo a big gift, so that he could also taste it, is the pain of losing a child unbearable? You didn't disappoint me either, after the clues of the two things were found in the Zheng family, you thought that the deaths of Zhong Keqian and Lu Jingfei were the same thing, and they were all used by the Zheng family to defeat the Lu Zhong family. ”

Yang Hao asked again: "Zhong Shubo can hand over such an important place as Du Luo to King Du Luo, which shows that he has great trust in him. He has a great deal of power,* and he is an extremely profitable thing, and it is almost impossible to buy his loyalty with money and power. How did you get to this corner? ”

Zhong Wanlu stood up and slowly walked towards Yang Hao, her posture was charming under the crimson dark flower phoenix pattern jade brocade dress, she said as she walked: "Most men in this world want nothing more than five things in their lives: money, reputation, power, status, and women. But not every man is as stupid as you, and whoever he follows will be loyal to him for the rest of his life. ”

She put her jade hand on Yang Hao's body, "Follow Zhong Shubo, he can only get three things: money, power, and status, but follow me, he can get these five things." If he follows me, not only will he get me, but he will also wash his hands of gold, and he will no longer wander on the tip of a knife, and he will no longer be as notorious as King Duro. Who do you think he will choose? ”

Yang Hao moved his body slightly. Lu Xi asked angrily, "You actually betrayed your eldest brother?!" ”

Zhong Wanlu asked rhetorically: "Is he only allowed to cuckold me, and not for him?" Your eldest brother and I both know these things, so why are you so angry? ”

Lu Xi was stunned, "What did you say?" ”

Zhong Wanlu smiled, "Your eldest brother didn't know what kind of medicine he took wrong before he died?" I actually wrote the words "turning back" in the palm of my hand! It's really ridiculous, if there is a shore to turn back, why does he refuse to forgive Lu Tiansheng until he dies? Isn't it the biggest joke in the world that he can't do it himself, but he wants me to do it? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan said: "I'm not interested in the matter between you and your eldest brother. I just want to know, did Zhong Keqian's death arouse Zhong Shubo's suspicion of me, and was the person who chased and killed me and Yuqing that day sent by him? ”

Zhong Wanlu replied: "Zhong Keqian's death did arouse Zhong Shubo's suspicion of you, so he transferred you to the Financial Department and watched under his nose, but at that time he was suspicious of everyone, not just against you." As for the hunt you are talking about, the purpose is not to kill you at all, because I sent those people. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan said angrily: "You forced us to the edge of the cliff, do you know? As soon as Yuqing doesn't hold me, or I don't hold her, we'll fall and fall to pieces! You're not here to kill us, are you here to play?! ”

Zhong Wanlu laughed, "What is the result? Didn't you all come back safe and sound? If I really want to kill you, I should have them push you off the cliff completely, instead of removing you when you are dead. You can't think of this with your shrewdness, but why are you so angry? Let me guess......"

Saying that, Zhong Wanlu leaned over and approached Bai Qiaoxuan, forcing Bai Qiaoxuan to lean back, "Are you blaming me for causing your beloved Yuqing to worry about her life?" Or are you blaming me for kidding with your life? If it's the former, I can understand that. But if it's the latter...... A person will not easily blame strangers, if you blame me, it proves that you care about me, and you think that with the relationship between you and me, I should not harm you. I've got a place in your heart, haven't I? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's body fell together with his deep breathing, but there was a dead silence in his eyes, his conversation was low and powerful, intertwined with Zhong Wanlu's breathing, "What I asked, why did you do this?" ”

Zhong Wanlu's smile spread to her eyes, she suddenly got up, and said, "Okay, since you don't want to admit it, I won't force you, anyway, I'm not in a hurry at this time." No man will not be tempted by my appearance, and you are no exception, and I still have this confidence. ”

Lu Xi's fists couldn't be clenched tighter, and Bai Qiaoxuan wanted to hold her hand like Fang Cai, but she avoided it without a trace. Zhong Wanlu saw Lu Xi's reaction, the smile in her eyes deepened, she sat back in her place, and said, "I arranged for someone to stage the drama of chasing and killing you, and I have a threefold purpose. First, I want to test your skills to see if you have the ability to withstand King Duro's attacks. If King Duro doesn't force you, if you still fall off the edge of the cliff, then you don't deserve my love, let alone my help. On the contrary, if you come back alive, all that is mine is yours. Second, I want to remind you that someone wants to kill you, so that when you come back, you will definitely be vigilant and strengthen your defense, so that when Zhong Shubo, Lu Jingwu or Lu Jingpeng really want to kill you, you will die because of insufficient defense. Third ......"

Zhong Wanlu's gaze fell on Tong Yuqing's body, "I noticed that something was wrong between you, but I can't be sure if you really have a private relationship." With the deep and forbearant personalities of the two of you, you will not easily reveal your true feelings until the last resort, so I set up this game to see your reaction when you are at a critical juncture. I really don't know if I don't try, and I'm shocked when I try it. When I heard what you said when you died on the edge of the cliff, I was really moved to tears. ”

Lu Xi's face became more and more pale, but Zhong Wanlu didn't want to let her go at all, Bai Qiaoxuan asked before Zhong Wanlu could speak: "In this way, my father was also killed by you who ordered King Duluo?" ”

Zhong Wanlu's face changed suddenly, "Of course not!" How could I possibly kill your father? It was you who offered Lu Tiansheng advice to attack Du Luo and angered Zhong Shubo, which made him murderous. I just ......"

Bai Qiaoxuan asked rhetorically, "Just what?" It's just not blocked, is it? ”

Zhong Wanlu covered her chest and said: "You should understand me, Lu Tiansheng, Zhong Shunhua, and Lu Jingwu were still there at that time, and I haven't borrowed Zhong Shubo's hand to help you clear these obstacles." I can't let King Duluo disobey Zhong Shubo's orders, let him be exposed to him in advance, and let me expose myself to him, otherwise not only your father, you, me, and King Duluo...... None of us will survive. I can only lay down your father's life alone to save the lives of all of us. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's face was pale, but he had nothing to say. Because he said a thousand things and ten thousand, his father died for him, and he couldn't blame anyone.

Zhong Wanlu pointed the finger at Lu Xi again, "Xi'er, I still advise you as a cousin, leave him." You are inferior to me in terms of beauty, and you are inferior to Yuqing in terms of spirituality, one of us can satisfy him physically, and the other can satisfy him in soul, what can you give him compared to us? ”

"Ciel! You don't listen to her nonsense! She ......"

Before Bai Qiaoxuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Wanlu, "Am I talking nonsense, you know best in your own heart." Ciel, do you know why he kept you around? Because you're stupid, you'll never be able to see through his mind! As an Overseer, he never wants to be transparent in front of others, that would be too dangerous, so he willingly abandoned Tong Yuqing, so he put on a look of rejecting me thousands of miles away. He stays with you just because he craves a sense of security. ”

"Shut up!" Bai Qiaoxuan stood up suddenly, picked up Lu Xi, who was trembling, and walked out, but was stumped by Zhong Wanlu's words......
