"If you need to give up for the Tong family in the future, my sister will not allow you to refuse."

Tong Yuhao suddenly remembered someone, and asked hesitantly, "That'...... What should Brother Qiao Xuan do? ”

The pain in Tong Yuqing's eyes flashed, "He will have his own life, and time will heal all the ......"

Tong Yuqing didn't want to think of him anymore, so she made herself weak, and said instead: "Sister hasn't asked you yet, does Qiu Zeyuan know that you came to Puxi?" ”

Tong Yuhui replied: "I don't know if he knows, I found out that you were missing early that morning, thinking that you went to discuss the plan with your uncle, so I went to Ying'an." Everyone there said they hadn't seen you, and we found out that you were missing. I wanted to look for you again, but my uncle was worried about my safety and didn't allow me to run around, so I stayed at my uncle's house these days, and I didn't know the news from Qiu Zeyuan. ”

Tong Yuqing nodded, "Uncle did the right thing, after all, he didn't know if I was arrested by Tong Baiyi at that time...... And how did you know I was here? ”

"Brother Qiao Xuan told me."

Tong Yuqing's heart was sour, he treated him like that, he still thought about himself like this......

Tong Yuhui saw that her face was ugly, and she cried out worriedly, "Sister......"

Tong Yuqing smiled at her younger brother, "I'm fine, since you come back to me, I will take good care of you for your parents." These days, you study here first, wait for me to avenge my family, and then settle your whereabouts. ”

Tong Yuhui wanted to refuse, but heard Tong Yuqing say: "What you have to do now is to take care of yourself and let your sister have no worries, you know?" ”

Looking at Tong Yuqing's solemn expression, Tong Yuhao couldn't say no, so he nodded and said, "That sister also has to promise me, no matter what, you have to protect yourself well, I have lost my parents, I can't lose you anymore." ”

Tong Yuqing had tears in her eyes, her face was resolute, and she nodded vigorously......

The sky was dark and unpretentious, the dim gray clouds were endless, and they pressed heavily over Yejin, and a man with white temples sat quietly on the shore of the frosty Juning Lake, the garden was depressed and withered, just like his heart at this time, a barren. The faint smoke swirled around him, and the wisps dissipated in circles and wisps, and he couldn't help but wonder what was eternal in this world besides life and death......

"Overseer," a voice interrupted his thoughts, "there's news." ”

He seemed to find a glimmer of light in the infinite mist, but the people behind him didn't know how to speak to him again.

He turned his head to look at the silent man, and the light in his heart was extinguished little by little, "Say, what else is there now, I can't bear it?" ”

"Miss Tong...... ...... on Lu Tiansheng's mansion"

Qiu Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "But how did she get there?" Didn't they look for her the first two months? ”

Yan Bingzhi looked at Qiu Zeyuan's expression, Qiu Zeyuan felt strange when he heard that he didn't move again, but after seeing his hesitant appearance, he guessed his concerns, "As long as she doesn't fall into Tong Baiyi's hands, no matter where she is, it's good." ”

"It's not clear what exactly happened, as soon as our people found out about Miss Tong, they immediately sent the news back."

Qiu Zeyuan nodded, "You did the right thing." ”

Yan Bingzhi said again: "Overseer, no matter how Miss Tong got to Lu Tiansheng's mansion, it is not good news for us, you see...... Do you want to adjust the military armament, just in case? ”

Qiu Zeyuan fell into a long silence, Yan Bingzhi didn't know what he thought, so he could only be silent, I don't know how long later, a deep and empty voice sounded, "It's business as usual." ”

If someone else said such things to Yan Bingzhi, he would definitely think about whether he was delirious and heard it wrong, but it was Qiu Zeyuan who said these four words, and he knew very well that he did not hear it wrong.

"Yes, Overseer." Yan Bingzhi replied as usual, but his eyes became warm.

He returned along the way, and saw a figure in the distance, and he wanted to avoid but had nowhere to do, but the person had already stepped forward, "General Yan, Miss is invited." ”

Yan Bingzhi was in a dilemma, and Ti'er added another sentence, "Does the general want the young lady to come and invite her in person?" ”

Yan Bingzhi could only follow Di'er to the main building when he heard this, he saw through the floor-to-ceiling window that Yiyou was standing at the door waiting, and hurriedly walked into the house to help her sit down, "Miss, you shouldn't stand for a long time now, let's sit down quickly." I know you are asking me something, don't worry, Miss Tong has news, everything is safe. ”

Yiyou showed a happy face, and her amazing beauty was more refined than that of the worldly immortal plant, "Yes, where is she?" I want to see her. ”

Yan Bingzhi said softly: "Miss just needs to know that she is fine." ”

Yiyou's smile froze, "Brother Bingzhi, tell me, okay?" Do you want me to ask the Overseer and annoy him? ”

Yan Bingzhi hesitated for a moment and then said, "She is now in Lu Tiansheng's mansion. ”

Yiyou's eyebrows condensed slightly, and after a while, he asked, "Did the Overseer say anything?" ”

Yan Bingzhi tried his best to say lightly: "The Overseer doesn't have any special orders, just say that everything is business as usual. ”

"Oh......" Yiyou narrowed his eyelids slightly, and said after a moment of silence: "Trouble you, Brother Bingzhi, you go and get busy, I won't bother you." ”

"That young lady is resting and will retire."

After the first snowfall, the snowflakes fall from time to time, almost uninterrupted, the gold is covered in silver, and the sunlight shines on the white snow on the roof to reflect a dazzling light, which is even more enchanting. At this time, there was a clean faction in front of the Overseer's Mansion, with two rows of maids between the four rows of guards, standing neatly behind the two young masters and a young lady.

The man at the top of the list was wearing a black mink coat, black trousers, black leather shoes, and a pair of black gloves, and it was difficult to find a little warmth on his body, and the slender scar on the left side of his face made it difficult to find a ray of warmth. Compared with him, the man standing at the bottom is as warm as a cold winter and spring, his exquisitely carved face is unbearable, and he is dressed in a plain white elastic ink auspicious cloud pattern rain silk brocade robe covered with a lake green robe, which shows that he is gentle and elegant, pure as snow. If one person is like a harsh winter, and the other is like a warm spring, then the woman between the two is like the summer and autumn season after spring and before winter. The snow-white golden phoenix pattern makeup satin dress is worn with a golden cape, making her beautiful and moving, but also smart and playful.

If there is any similarity between the three of them, it should be that when the distant car drove into view, their hearts overflowed with a trace of joy.

"Jingwu (Jingzhi, Xi'er) welcomes Uncle Gu, Uncle Wanfu." The three of them saluted a noble lady who stepped out of the car.

Xi Yiqian couldn't help one with one hand, so she simply said: "No courtesy." ”

A young man who came down with Xi Yiqian walked up to Lu Jingwu and saluted, "Wei Wei has seen Brother Jingwu. ”

Lu Jingwu raised his hand slightly, "No need to be polite." ”

"Ciel has seen Brother Vie." Lu Xi smiled and saluted Gu Weiwei.

After Gu Weiwei smiled back, he turned to Qing Ziting, the two looked at each other and smiled, hugged each other hard, Gu Weiwei whispered in his ear, "Say in advance, congratulations." ”

Qing Ziting patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

"Uncle, it's snowing outside, let Xi'er take you directly to the inner courtyard to see your mother. She's been talking about you for the past few days," Lu Jingwu hugged Xi Yiqian and said with a smile.

Xi Yiqian rolled her eyes, "If she really cares about me, why didn't she come to pick me up in person?" She's afraid she doesn't want me to come, right? ”

Lu Jingwu glanced at Qing Ziting and laughed dryly, "Xi'er, why don't you go in with your uncle?" Don't let your mother be anxious. ”

Lu Xi glanced at him fiercely, then affectionately grabbed Xi Yiqian's arm, and sent her into the main room where her mother lived and obediently returned to her room. ”

"Huh? You're going out again? Miss, they all say that I am your personal maid, but why do I think I am a maid and not very close? You don't take me with you anywhere. ”

Lu Xi smiled: "Isn't it good to give you a chance to be lazy?" ”

Yu Huan turned from worry to joy, and said with a snicker: "It's good to follow Miss, you can be lazy." ”

Luci deliberately teased her, "Oh, that's all I can do?" ”

"Where? Miss is good anywhere, and being able to serve Miss is a blessing that slaves have cultivated for several generations. As he spoke, Yuhuan handed the water to Lu Xi.

Lu Xi smiled: "It's about the same, okay, you go about your own thing, I'll go out after drinking the water." ”

After Yu Huan left, Lu Xi repeatedly retouched his makeup in front of the rhombic glass, and only ran out of the door after a long time, but ran into Qing Ziting when he was about to reach the door.

"II...... Second brother ......"

Qing Ziting saw her look panicked, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" How did you see me panicking? Is something wrong? ”

Lu Xi hurriedly shook his head, "No...... Nothing happened, why didn't the second brother go back to the East Courtyard, did he come to the main courtyard for something? ”

Qing Ziting smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to come and see you." Are you going out? ”

"Hmm......" Lucy nodded and shook his head.

Qing Ziting was confused, "Is it going out or not going out?" How do you nod and shake your head at the same time? ”

Lu Xi tried his best to hide his disappointment, "Since you're here, I won't go out." ”

Qing Ziting saw that she was embarrassed, so she hugged her and walked out, "If you have something serious, go and do it, anyway, the second brother will not leave Jindu for a while, and our brother and sister can talk whenever we want." ”

Before Lu Xi could react, she had been pushed out of the door by Qing Ziting, and she saw that the person's car was already waiting in the old place, and there was no way to avoid it, so she could only force a smile and say goodbye to Qing Ziting.

Although the car was some distance away from the main entrance of the mansion, Qing Ziting still recognized who the person was, and he saw that his sister's face was gradually dyed, and the blood on her face gradually disappeared......

His mind was blank, and he didn't know how he got to the front of the car, only to see the man with a smile on his face, and greeted him very warmly, "Lu Ershao, long time no see." ”

He used all his strength to calm himself down, "Xi'er, are you going out with him?" ”

He asked this very strangely, people and cars were already waiting here, if Luci didn't go out with him, who else would he go out with?

However, one of the two people was secretly thinking about it, and the other was secretly harboring a ghost, and no one paid attention to his question.

"Ciel, get in the car." The man's voice was as tender as water, but Qing Ziting heard it extremely harsh.

He watched as the man started his engine, but his eyes were fixed on him without blinking, and he suddenly remembered what he had said to himself a month ago......

Qing Ziting really wanted him to directly step on the accelerator and run himself over, vent his hatred to the bone, and end his entanglement and pain, but he could only watch the car carrying his sister getting farther and farther away from him...... He crouched down in despair, curling himself up in a ball, as if this would ward off the icy wind and frost, and isolate all the troubles of the world......

Inside the main room of the Overseer's Palace

Xi Yiqian took off her silver and gray cloak by herself, leaving only a royal blue dark flower peony pattern antique satin velvet coat, she saw that there was no one in the hall, but there was a hand stove on the ebony table, with a hint of a smile on her lips, she picked up the hand stove and walked to the inner room, only to see the man sleeping in clothes with a peaceful face.

She thought it was funny, a person of her age was still like a child, and she pretended not to wake up when her temper came. She was not in a hurry to wake her up, and sat leisurely on the ebony chair beside her, quietly waiting for her to open her eyes.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the person lying on the bed to be impatient and scolded: "Why don't you call me?" ”

Xi Yiqian laughed, "I didn't scream, didn't you wake up too?" ”

Zhong Shunhua felt bored, got up and shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xi Yiqian looked at her with a smile, "Are you willing to ignore me?" ”

Zhong Shunhua glanced at her, "For the marriage of his precious son, he really took great pains!" Knowing that I couldn't resist it anymore, I used both hard and soft measures to invite you. ”

Xi Yiqian asked, "Then is it useful for me to come?" ”

Zhong Shunhua threw a pillow at her and said angrily: "Get out, you will help outsiders bully me!" ”

Xi Yiqian put the pillow back on the bed, "I can bully you because I am reasonable." When have I interjected in the affairs between your husband and wife over the years? But Shunhua, this time it's not just as simple as the two of you fighting each other. ”

Zhong Shunhua was silent, and asked after a while: "The one in your family can't sleep with excitement." ”

Xi Yiqian replied: "Don't say that these men are me, and I couldn't sleep at night when I first heard about it. The unification of Puxin Prefecture, what a rare thing! There may not be one generation in ten generations that can be seen, but isn't it something to be proud of such a great feat, forged by our men and passed down by our children and grandchildren? ”

Xi Yiqian saw that Zhong Shunhua wanted to speak and stopped, and held her hand with a smile, "I know, you are worried about Wu'er, afraid that the conscienceless person will take away everything from Wu'er and give it to Zhi'er." I assure you, even if he really loses his conscience and does this, Huai Jue and I will not agree, not to mention that he has no intention of doing so. No matter how Wu'er is, he is also his biological son, and he will not treat him badly. Besides, even if this country is given to Zhi'er, what can it do? He has never had the mind and ability to take care of this country. In the end, don't you want to return it to Wu'er? If he says that you don't believe it, I will say it, you should believe it, right? ”

Zhong Shunhua bit his lip and said softly: "Actually, it's not that I can't figure out these things......" Zhong Shunhua said and covered his chest tightly, "I just ...... A little unwilling, I can't get out in one breath. As soon as I saw that Lu Jingzhi, I remembered the face of that slut, how ungrateful that bastard was, and the humiliation I had suffered. When I think of this, I can't wait to cut him with a thousand knives! What qualifications does he have to expect the love of his father and mother, and the filial piety of his wife and son? What qualifications do you have to stand side by side with Wu'er and be the descendants of the Lu family? ”

Xi Yiqian patted her on the back gently, "I've told you thousands of times what should be said, you haven't been tired of hearing it, and I'm tired of saying it." Now I just advise you, everything is outside the body, only the body is your own. You hate resentment and anger, hurt yourself the most, we are no longer young, we must know how to take care of ourselves, and see everything openly. ”

Zhong Shunhua smiled faintly, leaned his head on her shoulder, and his voice became extremely light, "Yiqian, sometimes I really envy you." No matter how annoying things are, they seem to be able to easily dissolve when they come to you. ”

Xi Yiqian said with a smile: "The world has been troubled, why should I be troubled?" Counting life is just a flick of a finger, an instant of beauty, what is worth grasping and forgetting? ”

Zhong Shunhua burst out laughing, "Look at you like this, you will soon become a Buddha." ”

Xi Yiqian said angrily: "People are kind enough to help you relieve the bitterness in your heart, but you make fun of others? ”

Zhong Shunhua was unforgiving, "Are you specifically coming to see me?" If it weren't for the trust, you wouldn't know when you would have remembered me. ”

Xi Yiqian was helpless, "Okay, okay, my aunt, can you be afraid of me?" Looking at you, can I go back to the errand? ”

Zhong Shunhua's face was gloomy, but there was a smile in his eyes, "Well, step down." ”

Xi Yiqian glared at her fiercely, but said, "Yes, retire ...... below"

Pieces of snow fell from the sky, but before they could fall to the ground, they were blown to the window by the raging wind. The originally dark night was reflected by the red light of the sky. Xiangrong Street, the most prosperous street in Jindu, now has only a handful of passers-by, and everyone is in a hurry to go home, even the beggars on the side of the road try their best to curl themselves up in the corner.

But at this time, in front of the most famous Guangfeng Hotel on this street, there was a young man in Tsing Yi, who did not move, did not speak, and even his eyes rarely blinked, as if he had turned into a stone man. Heavy snow hid the time until a man in a black robe stood in front of him, and he asked in a dull and deep voice, "What do you want?" ”

The black-clothed man's eyes flashed with a strange light, and the outline of his facial features under the red light was extremely clear, like a carving, his thin lips curved out of a beautiful arc, and he exhaled a warm breath, "What do I think, didn't I already tell you?" ”

I don't know if the boy in Tsing Yi has been standing in the wind and snow for too long, or he has been polished out of his joy and anger, his voice is unusually calm, "I know it's pointless to talk about anything else at this time, so I just ask, how can you let Xi'er go?" ”

The man in black rolled his eyes and moved on tiptoe, as if he was really thinking about this question, "How can you let her go...... If you let Yuqing go, I'll let her go. Otherwise, the day of the candle in your cave will be the time when your sister will fall into hell forever. You have to believe me, if I can get her to think about me within a month, I can use another month to make her die for me and agree to marry me. ”

Qing Ziting was furious, suddenly grabbed Bai Qiaoxuan's neckline, and said angrily: "You are so despicable! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan grabbed Qing Ziting's neckline with his backhand, "Despicable? Compared to your danger, my meanness seems to be less than one-ten-thousandth of yours......"

"You are angry and hateful at me, let Xi'er go! She is innocent. ”

"I just went for you to attack your sister...... Bai Qiaoxuan laughed back, "As for innocence, I was robbed of my loved one by you, and I am all innocent?!" ”

Qing Ziting gritted her teeth and said: "My father forced me to get married, and I don't want her to be infamous and get married in the filial piety period!" ”

"It's not my business, I only look at the results, I don't care about the process. In short, if you take away my beloved, don't blame me for hurting your loved ones. ”

Qing Ziting approached Bai Qiaoxuan and said hatefully: "I won't let you succeed." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan pushed him away and smiled brighter, "Let's wait until you do this before you talk to me." ”

Qing Ziting left angrily, but listened to Bai Qiaoxuan behind him say: "I heard that your wedding date is almost set, and you don't have much time left, I wish you good luck......"

Yao Yao took in everything downstairs through the window, she saw Bai Qiaoxuan enter the building, busily poured tea, returned to her seat and waited for him quietly.

After Bai Qiaoxuan returned to the room, he saw her concerned gaze and subconsciously avoided it. Yao Yao smiled bitterly, "Childe really hates me so much, he doesn't even want to take a look." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's hand holding the teacup stiffened, and he put the teacup heavily on the table, and said angrily: "What else do you do all day except for cranky thinking?" How many times have I told you? Do your part, and you'll get the treatment you deserve! ”

Yao Yao was speechless with tears, Bai Qiaoxuan realized that his tone was too heavy, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan had a splitting headache and bent down to hug himself. It's not that he doesn't know that what Qing Ziting said is the truth. It is not himself who can decide this marriage, let alone Tong Yuqing, but Lu Tiansheng. But he couldn't force Lu Tiansheng, and he couldn't persuade Tong Yuqing, the only breakthrough was Qing Ziting. He can only gamble, bet on the weight of Lu Xi in Qing Ziting's heart, and bet that Qing Ziting has a way to push away this family business.

Yao Yao squatted in front of Bai Qiaoxuan, slowly took away the hand he was holding his head, and asked softly, "Childe, if Miss still marries Lu Jingzhi in the end, will you really marry Lu Xi?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan's eyes showed endless exhaustion, "I don't know, some things are not until the last moment, who knows what will happen?" I ......" tears welled up in his eyes, "I can't imagine what it would be like if I really lost her......"

Yao Yao's heart was like a knife, and she suddenly hugged him into her arms, allowing the tears in her eyes and the tears in her heart to flood into a sea together......
