Chapter 112: One Life, One Generation
Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "Understood." If there are no accidents, the first day of action will be five days later. I'll ask Ci'er to call me then, if she says that the second brother is better? It means everything goes well. If she said that she wanted to visit her father with her second brother, it meant that the situation had changed. β
Tong Yuqing nodded seriously, "Okay, I remember." β
Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan got up, "I've been bothering for a long time today, and it's time to leave, otherwise if King Duluo's secret stake knows, he will be suspicious." β
Qing Ziting said to Tong Yuqing: "Er, send off the guests on my behalf." β
Bai Qiaoxuan politely refused: "Let's stay." β
Tong Yuqing was still about to send them out, but unexpectedly, Bai Qiaoxuan walked a few steps and turned around and said, "Second brother, it's better for you to stay in Puhe these days, after all, the security here is several times tighter than Ningtai." Big Brother was right when he said on his deathbed, some people will not let go of the idea of harming you just because you hid on Yaochen Island. You are here, and I will take care of it. β
Qing Ziting bowed slightly, "I wrote it down, thank you." β
As Bai Qiaoxuan expected, when the heavy* of the Overseer's heir was thrown out by Lu Tiansheng, the land of Puxin Prefecture was shaken three times. Unfortunately, his goal was not achieved, because everyone's reaction after the news was released was what he expected, which meant that the * that King Duro had buried next to them that could explode at any time did not react to this matter. He had to admire the calmness of this dark pile, and because of this, he was even more sure that this situation of Duluo Wangbu was related to the life and death of everyone in Puxi Prefecture.
Bai Qiaoxuan and King Duluo knew that this was a war between them. But people who are involved in it and are used as chess pieces don't understand, such as Lu Jingpeng. When he got the telegram, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at all, and rushed into Lu Tiansheng's room angrily, asking sharply, "Why?!" In your heart, I can't compare to Lu Jingzhi and Lu Jingwu, can't I even compare to an outsider? β
Lu Tiansheng forced himself to sit up, and sighed helplessly: "It is precisely because you are my son that I will make this decision." Peng'er, let it go, you are not Bai Qiaoxuan's opponent, you can't fight him. I'm here for your good, if you let it go now, you can at least enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth. β
Lu Jingpeng smiled desolately, "Since I was a child, I have worked hard, thinking that as long as I do the things you have explained, you will be able to love me like a second brother, and you can value me like a big brother." But I soon found out that I was wrong, you only have two eyes, and one eye can only hold a son, and there is no place for me at all. No, if you don't give it to me, I'll just fight for it myself, but now, you don't even want to give me the opportunity to fight? I can't fight Bai Qiaoxuan, so I want to destroy all the hopes of my life. For my good? Are you really doing it for my good? I think you're doing it for your precious son! β
If it had been before, Lu Tiansheng would have let people drag him out, but now he just sighed and said, "Child, I admit that I have selfish intentions and have never given you fair treatment before." But no matter what, you have to believe that no matter how selfish your father is, he will not harm you. I only have you and your second brother two sons left, and I really don't want to bear the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person anymore. Just be a father begging you, okay? Stop being obsessed......"
Lu Jingpeng vigorously shook off Lu Tiansheng's hand, Lu Tiansheng's illness was not healed, and he fell to the ground, Lu Jingpeng roared angrily: "No! From now on, our well water will not interfere with the river water, if you dare to stand in my way, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son, and kill the killer! β
Lu Tiansheng desperately wanted to grab his son's robe feet, but he didn't have the strength, so he could only watch him leave, raised his pistol with difficulty, and killed the two soldiers guarding the door......
Even if Lu Tiansheng extinguished Lu Jingpeng's mouth, he couldn't suppress the Youyou crowd, and Puhe soon spread rumors that Lu Jingpeng was disrespectful to his father. Lu Jingpeng looked at the people who had already taken refuge in him one by one, and it was difficult to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart, so he decided to send Bai Qiaoxuan to the west.
On the eve of the act, Lu Jingpeng told the killer Bai Qiaoxuan for the last time in the woods in the western suburbs about the next day's itinerary, and as soon as he saw them off, he met the pale-faced He.
Lu Jingpeng shouted in panic: "Three...... Third aunt, why are you here? β
He suddenly knelt in front of Lu Jingpeng and cried: "Peng'er, aunt please, let it go......"
The cold gradually replaced the panic, occupying Lu Jingpeng's eyes, and he asked coldly, "Did Lu Tiansheng ask you to come?" β
He shook his head, and Lu Jingpeng was almost screaming, "You have always lived in the mansion and don't ask about the world, it wasn't him who told you, how do you know that I'm here?!" β
He Shi cried and said, "It's really not your father who asked me to come, it's that I have been sending people to follow you all these days to know that you are here." You just listen to your aunt and come home with me, okay? You have a wife and young children, and you are not alone. Although my aunt is stupid, she also understands that if you lose tomorrow, you will be defeated. Have you ever wondered what they would do if you lost? What should my aunt do? Auntie, you're the only one......"
He suddenly remembered that with his own identity, he was not worthy of calling Lu Jingpeng his son, and said instead: "Now like this, Bai Qiaoxuan will at least leave you a ...... in Xi'er's face."
Before He finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Jingpeng, "Even you don't believe me?" Even you think I'm going to lose?! Good! Since you all think that I can't fight Bai Qiaoxuan, then I must let you see how he died at my hands! β
Lu Jingpeng pulled his leg and left, and He Shi cried bitterly and hugged his leg, "Peng'er, Peng'er...... If you can't go, just beg your aunt, okay? I beg you to ......"
Lu Jingpeng looked at the He clan who was lying on the ground, and couldn't help but redden, he cried and laughed: "Auntie? Are you my aunt? You're obviously my mother! But why can't I call you mother? Why do I have to call a woman who is not related to me by blood as my mother, but I can only call you my aunt?! Because I am the son of a concubine, you are just a concubine of the Lu family! But he is also the son of a concubine, why can he Lu Jingzhi call his mother his mother? Because his mother is Lu Tiansheng's favorite concubine, he is Lu Tiansheng's most favored son! For so many years, the big house is powerful, the second room is favored, what do we have in the third room? We don't have anything! We are not as good as Zhong Shunhua's dog in the Lu family! You have always regarded Lu Tiansheng as the sky, but how could he have you in his eyes? In his eyes, you are not much more noble than the slave who carried his shoes! I'll just ask you, why? When you were pregnant with me, you were almost killed by that slut of the Gou family, and you tried your best to give birth to a son for him, why did he look down on you? Don't you have a trace of unwillingness and resentment in your heart? β
He Shi cried silently, "Peng'er, my aunt has never read a book, and she doesn't know any big truths. I only know that if people want to be happy, they can't always think about what they can't get. Yes, I don't have a good family background like my wife, nor do I have as good a blessing as your second aunt, but now I have children and grandchildren, and I have a place to live, and I am really satisfied. I do not ask you to be rich and rich, but I want you to live in peace and happiness. β
Lu Jingpeng roared: "But I don't want to live like this!" I don't want to look up to people's breath and live secretly! Aunt...... Oh no, mother, when I kill Bai Qiaoxuan, I can call you my mother openly, you don't have to look at anyone's face to act, you just go home obediently and wait for my good news. β
After speaking, Lu Jingpeng turned around and left without looking back, leaving the He clan alone on the ground, crying his name......
Lu Jingpeng thought he was well prepared, but Bai Qiaoxuan had already taken precautions against him, and in addition to being safe and sound, he also put all the human and physical evidence in front of the world. Of course, for the sake of Rende's reputation and previous promise to Lu Tiansheng, Bai Qiaoxuan did not kill Lu Jingpeng, but only put him under house arrest.
The open and secret battle between Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Jingpeng affects the nerves of many people, but not everyone cares about their victory or defeat.
After Gu Weiqing scattered Lu Jingwu's ashes with Hanxi's ashes, his mood was depressed, and he couldn't arouse his interest in doing anything. After returning to Puhe, he was also disdainful after hearing about Bai Qiaoxuan.
Seeing him like this, Zheng'an proposed, "Childe, why don't we go and see Son-in-law?" β
After Gu Weiqing pondered for a moment, he said, "It's okay, there should be only Ziting in this world who can understand my state of mind at the moment." I should have checked him out too. β
Zheng An sent him directly to Qing Ziting's mansion, Gu Weiqing vaguely felt that the person standing at the door was a little familiar, and he was even more surprised when he got closer, "An Ge? β
An Ge, who was wearing a white dress, turned around and smiled, "It's you." β
Gu Weiqing asked, "Why did you come back?" β
An Ge's expression was gloomy, Gu Weiqing patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my memory." Aunt Lu is your benefactor, and it makes sense that you should come back to worship. β
An Ge lamented, "What Madame wants in her life is the safety of her children, but unfortunately the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and the eldest young master is terminally ill at a young age." Mother and son went to ...... together."
Gu Weiqing's face was not good-looking, "Jing Wu is trapped in a knot in his heart, and his liver qi has been stagnant for a long time, so that his qi and blood are out of balance, and the lamp is dry, isn't it thanks to his parents?" To put it mildly, no matter what happens to Lu Tiansheng and Zhong Shunhua in this life, they deserve it! β
An Ge couldn't refute it, so he was simply silent, Gu Weiqing realized that he was too excited, tried his best to calm down, and said, "I'm sorry, I have no intention of being rude to you." Have you been to see Aunt Lu? β
An Ge replied: "I was afraid that she would not want to see me, so I only kowtowed three times from afar. β
Gu Wei cleared his head, "It's also considered to be a good idea." Let's go, let's not talk about her, go in and see Ziting. β
Gu Weiqing took a few steps forward, but saw that there was no one around, turned around and saw that An Ge was still in place, and sighed: "It was all eight hundred years ago, Ziting has long forgotten it, what are you afraid of?" β
An Ge asked incredulously, "You are not a child, how can you know if he has forgotten or not?" β
Gu Weiqing could only walk back and hug her forward, "Who am I?" Roundworms in his stomach! I still don't know what's going on in his heart? Obedient, since you have already walked to the door, go in and see him, otherwise you can sleep well at night? β
Qing Ziting was painting with Tong Yuqing in the back garden, and after hearing that they were visiting, he hurriedly put down the paintbrush in his hand and went to greet him.
"Ge'er, when did you come back? How could you come with him? β
Gu Weiqing was unhappy, "What do you mean, how can you come with me?" Can't she come with me? β
Qing Ziting didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only asked An Ge for warmth. Gu Weiqing couldn't interject several times, so he could only complain to Tong Yuqing, "Brother and sister, you give me a comment, how can there be a reason in the world for the master to ignore the guests?" β
Tong Yuqing stood beside Qing Ziting and replied unusually well-behaved: "What Gu Gongzi said, Yuqing didn't understand much. For Yuqing, husband is the truth. β
Gu Weiqing covered his fragile little heart, "Oh my God...... Even you've learned badly, it's really a black ...... who is close to ink."
Tong Yuqing and An Ge asked in unison, "Who do you say is Mo?!" β
Qing Ziting looked at Gu Weiqing proudly, Gu Weiqing snorted, and poured himself tea.
When Qing Ziting and Tong Yuqing took the two of them on a tour of Xinfu, Gu Weiqing saw Qing Ziting's half-finished painting and said, "Your technique is becoming more and more like Mr. Zimo, but compared with me, it is still far behind." β
When Tong Yuqing heard the first half of the sentence, she just wondered when he became so serious? As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, she felt that this was Gu Weiqing speaking.
An Ge scoffed, Gu Weiqing said: "Don't you believe we compare? See who draws better? Brother and sister, you are still sitting there and assuming the same pose. β
Tong Yuqing is fearless, compared to him, Ziting will not be afraid of him. After Tong Yuqing sat down, Gu Weiqing picked up the pen and wanted to make up for Qing Ziting's painting, but was pulled away by Qing Ziting, "If you want to paint, just paint your warblers and Yanyan, don't paint my Ruojiao." β
Gu Weiqing smiled: "Your wife is so expensive, she doesn't even let her paint?" Are you afraid that I will draw better than you and make you lose face in front of your wife? β
Qing Ziting was like a child who was about to be robbed of his toys, "Don't let me draw!" If you want to draw, draw someone else. Ruo Wan can only be painted by me. β
Gu Weiqing was helpless, looked around, saw An Ge idle, and said casually: "Ge'er, you are idle anyway, why don't you pose and let me draw you." β
An Ge frowned, "It's very tiring to put on a pose all the time, let me pose for my son, it's okay for you?" β
An Ge shook his head, Gu Weiqing felt bored, and threw the paintbrush casually, "If you don't paint, you won't paint, who is rare?" β
Seeing that he was really leaving, An Ge shouted, "Hey, are you really leaving?" Oops, okay...... I'll just put it on the table. β
Gu Weiqing ignored her and continued to walk forward, Qing Ziting shouted: "It's almost enough, it's too much to go any further." β
Gu Weiqing ran back with a hippie smile, and An Ge realized that he had been fooled, but seeing that Qing Ziting had already sat back, he could only cooperate with them to complete this competition.
The four of them sat down for an afternoon, and Qing Ziting had already finished half of the painting in the morning, so it stands to reason that he should finish it before Gu Weiqing, but because he wanted to show all the beauty of Tong Yuqing in this painting, he completed it later than Gu Weiqing in hesitation.
However, there is no need to be judged on the outcome of this competition, and it is already clear when the four of them see the two paintings. Gu Weiqing glanced at Qing Ziting's painting and said, "Okay, it's my skills that are not as good as others, I admit defeat, you have a treat, I'm hungry." β
An Ge smiled: "I was defeated by the gluttonous worm in my stomach so quickly?" How can there be a reason for the winner to be treated? β
Gu Weiqing looked at An Ge with a wicked smile on his face, and said in a weird manner: "Huh? You seem to be saying the opposite, right? In order to save money for your son-in-law, I can't even remember the reason who should treat you, the intention is too obvious......"
An Ge pouted, Tong Yuqing smiled and hugged her shoulder, and said to Gu Weiqing: "Don't be unforgiving, Ziting won't invite you for this meal, I'll invite you." β
Gu Weiqing saw that Tong Yuqing and An Ge were in harmony, and said with a winkled eyebrow: "It's really virtuous and generous, Ziting, why don't you marry Ge'er too......"
Before he finished speaking, he was stepped on by Qing Ziting, and he could only jump away with grinning teeth, making Tong Yuqing and An Ge laugh.
After sending Gu Weiqing and An Ge away, Tong Yuqing said, "Ziting, what do you think of the two of them?" β
Qing Ziting didn't understand what she meant, "What's the matter?" β
Tong Yuqing smiled: "I mean, how are the two of them together?" β
Qing Ziting was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, let's not be old this month, so as not to harm Ge'er." Wei Qing, since he brought back his first woman when he was fourteen years old, I haven't seen a woman stay with him for more than two months. You do the math, even if he changes a woman every two months, how many women has he changed over the years? What's more, he didn't change every two months, and when he was the most excessive, he brought out more than a dozen women at a time. Such a person, how can you let me trust him to hand over the song to him? β
Tong Yuqing thought about it for a while and dispelled this thought, but still smiled: "Listening to your tone, it's like Ge'er's father is choosing a son-in-law." β
Qing Ziting pulled her into his arms with one hand and looked at her face with a smile, "What's the matter, you're jealous?" People who never eat sour food can be jealous? β
Tong Yuqing wrapped her arms around his neck with a smile in her eyes, "If I'm jealous, can I still let her enter my house?" If a husband and wife don't even have this trust, how can they spend their lives together? β
Tong Yuqing inadvertently glanced at Qing Ziting's painting today, and asked, "You have never liked to use the name Lu Jingzhi, why did you sign the word Zhi in the painting today?" β
Qing Ziting didn't answer, but asked, "Have you ever wondered how my father chose the names of our four brothers?" β
Tong Yuqing pondered and replied: "My father must have admired martial arts when he was young, so he named his eldest brother Jingwu. The third brother and the fourth brother flew one by one, and I think my father should have hoped that they could fly high like the Dapeng bird. β
Qing Ziting shook his head, "You are half right, the eldest brother's name is Jingwu, and it is indeed because my father advocates martial arts." But the names of the third and fourth brothers are not what you say. Do you remember Ye'er's twin brother? His father wanted to call him Jingyue, but unfortunately he died before he could enter the family tree. β
Tong Yuqing muttered: "Peng, Fei, Yue...... I know! Does my father respect Yue Fei very much? Yue Fei's word is Pengju. β
Qing Ziting bowed his head, and Tong Yuqing said again: "If this is the case, my father should have called you to respect, so that Yue Fei and Pengju would be together." But my father didn't do this, which means that you are special in his heart, your mother is the love of his life, and his mother's feelings are also sincere and enthusiastic, and your name should come from this. β
Qing Ziting's eyes were like water, Tong Yuqing saw two little selves in his eyes, and his heart was extremely peaceful, "I shouldn't have guessed this wrong, right?" β
Qing Ziting smiled and hugged her, "That's right, my name does come from this, but in addition to the two meanings you said, there is a third layer of deep meaning, do you know what it is?" β
Tong Yuqing shook her head, Qing Ziting held her jade hand, her fingers interlaced, and she clinged to each other tightly, "Zhi, it is the hand, it is the hand of the son, and the son grows old together." β
Tong Yuqing suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I never thought of taking the words apart and reading them. β
Qing Ziting said lightly: "So all along, it's not that I don't like the name Jingzhi, but I don't like the surname Lu." Although I never complained to anyone, there was always a voice in my heart that told me that if I didn't have the surname Lu, everything around me wouldn't be like this. If there's one thing that this last name has ever brought me a little bit of luck, it's that it gave me the opportunity to get your heart. β
Tong Yuqing's heart was sour, and she reached out to smooth his brows, "With my father's support, Qiao Xuan will soon be able to take over Pu Xinzhou." At that time, no matter whether King Duluo is there or not, no matter how many dangers there are in the shadows, the Lu family will no longer be a family standing on the cusp. You don't have to be as scared as you used to. β
Qing Ziting asked: "The Lu clan is not the target of the public, and the Bai clan is about to make a big move." Aren't you afraid? β
Tong Yuqing replied frankly: "I'm afraid, but compared to you to bear this, Qiao Xuan to bear it, my fear will be less." Because I'm afraid, he will make the enemy even more afraid. β
Qing Ziting laughed, "Am I too useless?" β
Tong Yuqing hurriedly said: "Don't say that. Before I met you, I had never experienced the word "peace of mind". Neither my five so-called fiancΓ©s nor Qiao Xuan could settle my heart. Only you can let me let go of all my defenses and live a down-to-earth life. β
Qing Ziting's arms tightened, as if he wanted to melt her into his body, "Er, when Qiao Xuan finishes dealing with King Duluo's affairs, I will take you to travel to Baichuan and see the beautiful scenery of Puxi Prefecture." When we are tired, we will go back to Yaochen Island, enjoy the red plum and white snow in winter, wait for the wisteria flowers to bloom in spring, watch the new lotus with scarlet sleeves in summer, and visit the golden chrysanthemum in Beishan in autumn. A couple from generation to generation for a lifetime, do you say it's good? β
Tong Yuqing smiled like a flower, and responded softly: "Okay." β
Time is eternal, the moonlight outside the window is cool, but the moonlight in the house is rubbed warm like a spring sun by two slender and overlapping figures......
