"Zhi'er, Yuqing, Qiao Xuan, you come with me."

The three of them entered the West Wing with Lu Tiansheng, Lu Tiansheng's gaze swept around them, and finally fell on Bai Qiaoxuan's body, "Marrying Xi'er is to force Zhi'er to give up Yuqing, it sounds so touching!" Qiao Xuan, can you say this again? ”

He didn't have a trace of majesty when he spoke, and even smiled, but Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing were shocked in their hearts, they knelt on the ground with a thud, Qing Ziting also heard the clue in his father's words, knelt down with them, and said: "Ask your father to forgive me, everything is the child's fault, please don't blame them." ”

Lu Tiansheng ignored his son, and only smiled at Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing: "Do you think that I sat in this overseer position by stupidity and negligence? I don't even know what happened in my house......"

From the moment they saw Lu Tiansheng today, Bai Qiaoxuan and Tong Yuqing had guessed that Lu Tiansheng had already known everything, so they were not half surprised to hear him say this, only Qing Ziting was very surprised, and muttered, "You already know ......"

Lu Tiansheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Zhi'er, do you think that your father can safely let you marry her without even probing the details of the other party?" The first time you met at the Overseer's Palace the year before, I was already aware of the signs between you. After that, it is even easier to find out some things. ”

Qing Ziting asked again: "Then why did you still let Xi'er marry Qiao Xuan?" ”

Lu Tiansheng replied: "In this world, except for weirdos like Qiu Zeyuan, there are few people who will love someone wholeheartedly for the rest of their lives, and I can't be sure about others, but Qiao Xuan, from the first time I saw him, I knew that he must not be Qiu Zeyuan." It turned out that I was right, but within a year, his heart began to waver. Yuqing was not the first woman who made his heart move, nor was it the last woman who made him die. In his heart, there is something that is ten thousand times more important than a woman. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled faintly, "This is not the most important reason. ”

Lu Tiansheng smiled: "Of course." Whether it's you or Yuqing, it's just a pawn in my hand. Ultimately, I want you to help. He has a good heart, and there is no help from his mother's family, so I can only find a way from his father and wife's family. But now, except that the three of you will be hugging together, everything is contrary to what I imagined. Zhi'er has become your help, you say, what should I do with the useless and even harmful chess pieces? ”

As soon as Qing Ziting wanted to plead, he heard Bai Qiaoxuan say: "If you really think that I am useless, I should not be able to hear your teachings now." The fact that you can talk to me here shows that you think I still have a little use. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Tiansheng both looked directly into each other's eyes, and after a long time, Lu Tiansheng broke the deadlock and laughed, "I really like your cleverness, and I'm too jealous of your cleverness." It seems that I am really old, and if you had dared to talk to me like this before, I would have thrown me into the river to feed the fish. ”

Qing Ziting didn't hear that his father had already changed his mind, and was still saying, "Father, the child really has no intention of becoming an overseer. You also know the temperament of children, and even if you put me in that position against all odds, how long can I sit? With my mind, who can I fight? ”

Lu Tiansheng raised his hand to interrupt his prevarication and said, "Yuqing is right, your eldest brother, third brother, Qiao Xuan, and countless people hiding in the shadows who covet the position of Overseer, only Qiao Xuan succeeds to the throne, so I don't need to worry about your safety." But your eldest brother and third brother are also my sons after all, and I can't ......."

Lu Tiansheng sighed deeply and said to Bai Qiaoxuan: "I will expand your power as before, no matter how much you expand your power, but you don't expect to get any help from me." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan took the initiative to ask, "What about the conditions?" ”

"No matter what happens in the future, you can't break a single hair."

Bai Qiaoxuan nodded, "Okay, I promise you......"

Lu Tiansheng waved his hand and pointed at Tong Yuqing again, "It's not to promise me, go and promise Yuqing." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan sighed secretly, Lu Tiansheng really had good intentions for his son. He felt that he had no deep friendship with him, and if he promised him, he would not hesitate to regret it in the future, but Yuqing was different. If you regret what you promised her, unless you give up your life.

Bai Qiaoxuan turned to face Tong Yuqing and said loudly: "No matter what happens in the future, I won't hurt a single hair of Lu Jingzhi." ”

Lu Tiansheng took a reassuring pill and mentioned another thing to Bai Qiaoxuan, "Xi'er has been locking herself in the house for the past few days, you can go and see her later." ”

After Bai Qiaoxuan responded, Qing Ziting said: "Thank you father for your success." The child also has a reluctant request, the child has not been back since he left Yaochen Island in October the year before last, so he wants to wait for next year to take Ruohuan back to Yaochen Island to live for a while, and hopes that his father will allow it. ”

He said that he was a small stay, but Lu Tiansheng knew that he couldn't wait to stay on the island for the rest of his life. Although he was reluctant in his heart, but his son had grown up, and it was impossible for him to lock him away for the rest of his life, thinking of this, Lu Tiansheng said: "If you want to go back, go back." It's just that during the New Year's holidays, I must go back to Jindu to reunite with my father, you know? ”

Qing Ziting was overjoyed, and kept saying, "Thank you, father......"

Lu Tiansheng stroked his temples and said lightly: "You all go down, I'm tired......"

Yu Huan saw Bai Qiaoxuan coming out of the West Wing, so he hurriedly patted Lu Xi's door and said in a low voice, "Miss, my uncle has come out." ”

Luci nervously asked, "Vertically or horizontally?" ”

Yu Huan burst out laughing, "Miss, you're too nervous, uncle is fine...... He's coming this way. ”

Lu Xi didn't bother to pay attention to Yu Huan's joke, and said even more nervously: "You just said I slept, don't let him in." ”

A deep voice suddenly rang out, "I heard it all." ”

Yu Huan didn't expect Bai Qiaoxuan to walk so fast, she was startled by his voice, and hurriedly saluted, "I've seen my uncle." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan waved his hand, "No courtesy, you go down first." ”

After Yu Huan left, Bai Qiaoxuan pushed the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside, so he knocked on the door, "Xi'er, it's me." ”

After no one answered for a long time, Bai Qiaoxuan knocked on the door again, "Xi'er, you open the door first and let me in, okay?" If there is anything to say, let's make it clear to our faces. ”

There was still no one to answer, so Bai Qiaoxuan had no choice but to say through the door: "Xi'er, the world is impermanent and unpredictable. Many things are not controllable by man, and they are not black and white. Just like me and you, Tong Yuqing, and your second brother, I wrote the beginning of the story, but I couldn't guess the end of the story. I first approached you because your second brother snatched my beloved, he made me lose the most important person in my life, why can't I destroy the closest person in his life? I approached you with the intention of hurting you, but in the day and night with you, I forgot my original purpose. You are the little sun I have never seen, and no matter what happens, you have never thought of taking revenge on those who hurt you. You don't know official business, you can't defend yourself, but you know how to cut paper and arrange flowers. You are always easily satisfied, and a little novelty can make you laugh for a long time. These are passions that I have not seen in my nearly twenty years of life. Before I met you, even in the face of Tong Yuqing, I was full of exhaustion. Because what allows us to sit together calmly and talk about it is family, surname, mission, and other words that are related to life and death. Only in your presence can I feel that there are more than these exhausting words in the world, and that people do not live only for those heavy responsibilities. Ciel, I am not telling you this today to force you to do anything for me, because no matter how I explain it, our beginnings have not been honorable, so I leave the right to end it to you. Whatever you decide, I will respect your choice. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan finished saying these words in one breath, leaned against the door and rested for a long time, listening to the room still no movement, he was about to leave, but as soon as he raised his foot, he remembered one more thing, "Xi'er, thank you for interceding for me in front of my father today." You rest early, I'll go first. ”

Listening to the footsteps outside the door, Lu Xi, who was slumped by the door and crying, slowly got up, she took the bolt of the door, opened the door, the summer evening breeze was extremely cool, blowing on her face that had just wept, and made her shiver, but she didn't notice it, only looked at the direction he left in a daze......

After leaving the Overseer's Mansion, Bai Qiaoxuan walked down the street in a daze, not knowing where to go, just looking for a place to have a drink, and before he knew it, he walked to the small shop that he used to frequent.

Boss Ma was still as enthusiastic as ever, stir-fried two dishes for Bai Qiaoxuan, and served a pot of soju. He saw that Bai Qiaoxuan's gaze kept wandering on the empty chair opposite, and asked with a smile, "Did you quarrel with Mrs. Zun?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan looked lonely, tried to smile and nodded, but Boss Ma smiled heartily, "It's okay, how can the husband and wife have an overnight feud?" It's all a quarrel at the end of the bed, maybe you'll be fine when you go back after eating this meal. My family and I have been noisy for most of our lives, haven't we lived a good life? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled faintly, "What Brother Ma said is, I see that there are a lot of people in the store today, so if you have something to do, go and get busy first." ”

After Boss Ma left, Bai Qiaoxuan ate a few mouthfuls of food at will, and then he had no appetite to eat, he looked at the opposite position in a daze, upset, and didn't want to stay here longer, but as soon as he was about to get up and say goodbye to Boss Ma, he heard someone outside calling his name.

Bai Qiaoxuan looked back and saw Gu Weiqing in a gray printed suit, with a casual atmosphere at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and a woman with heavy makeup beside him.

Gu Weiqing got out of the car, the woman was still entangled with him like a long-tailed snake, Gu Weiqing could only pat her hand and said softly: "Good, you go back and wait for me first, I'll be back soon." ”

She still refused to give up, raised her face, and refused to go back until Gu Weiqing printed a fragrant kiss.

Bai Qiaoxuan couldn't help but cover his eyes a little when he saw this fragrant scene, and didn't see that Gu Weiqing had already walked in front of him, "Okay!" What's it all about? What haven't you seen? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan put down his arm, returned to his seat, and asked, "How did you find me?" ”

Gu Weiqing scolded: "Self-inflicted. I'm going to come to look for you? Bully my sister, even if you die outside, I won't pay attention to you. I had just returned from the Overseer's Palace, and I happened to see you, and I wanted to come and see how you could have ended up eating in such a tavern? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan didn't bother to pay attention to his cynicism, and only asked, "Did you see Xi'er when you went to the Overseer's Mansion?" ”

Gu Weiqing replied: "No, the woman in the Overseer's Mansion who doesn't know what to do wants to give her mother some gifts to apologize, but my mother is still angry and doesn't want to take it, so this errand will naturally fall on me." I took the salute and left, not entering the door, but I saw a man. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan asked impatiently, "Who?" Don't sell it, say it quickly. ”

"Liang Yue." Gu Weiqing slapped Bai Qiaoxuan on the shoulder, "If you still want to save Xi'er, hurry up." Don't wait for no flowers and empty branches. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan covered his face with his hands, new sorrows and old worries came to his heart, Gu Weiqing smiled: "It's hard to give up new love, and it's hard to throw away old love." That's you. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled bitterly, "You change a woman every three days, and I haven't seen you as anxious as me, can you teach me a few tricks and let me learn your ability to come and go freely?" ”

Gu Weiqing probed and asked, "Do you really want to learn?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan nodded extremely happily, "I really want to learn!" ”

Gu Wei cleared his head, "Okay, brother, I will be a good person today, and kindly give you a few words." I can change women a day, or even bring three or five women a day, because I don't care about my body, I play on the spot, and after one night, I may not even remember what those women are called. It's good for you, come one, put one in your heart, come one into another, it's strange if you don't make your head bleed! You already knew that you couldn't let go of Tong Yuqing, why did you still watch her marry someone else? Regardless of whether he is the son of the Overseer or not, kill him, and Tong Yuqing will naturally be yours. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan squirted out a sip of wine, "You really don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Not to mention anything else, then Lu Jingzhi can fall as soon as the wind blows, let alone me kill him. Such a person, even if I touched one of his fingers, Yuqing would blame me for deceiving people too much. Saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan saw Gu Weiqing's puzzled expression, and sighed: "Let's go, I can't understand it when I tell you, you still help me think about what I should do now." ”

Gu Weiqing smiled evilly, "That's not simple? Let Xi'er be his wife, and Tong Yuqing be his concubine. Best of both worlds. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan was helpless, "Do you think the eldest lady of the Tong family will marry someone as a concubine?" Even if she is not Miss Tong, with her temperament, it is impossible to be a concubine. ”

Gu Weiqing said casually: "Then let Tong Yuqing be his wife and Xi'er be his concubine." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan couldn't help laughing and said, "You said this, do you believe it yourself?" ”

Gu Weiqing smiled, "Yes, yes, yes, the young lady of the Tong family is unwilling to be a concubine, and it is even more impossible for the daughter of the dignified overseer." Then you will marry both, and both of them will be wives at the same time. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan waved his hand, "Stop." The problem now is not at all famous. ”

Gu Weiqing smiled slightly: "That's the trade-off." Do you want Shexi'er or Tong Yuqing? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan poured himself a sip of wine, "Where do I want to or not?" Whether it is public or private, I can only choose Xi'er. ”

Gu Weiqing said angrily: "No, listen to your tone, Xuan Xi'er also made you suffer a great grievance, if you feel wronged, get out of me as soon as possible!" We Xi'er deserve a man who loves her with all his heart. ”

"That's not what I meant. I just ......" Bai Qiaoxuan covered his eyes, trying his best to keep the tears in his eyes and flow back to his heart, "I just don't know how to forget Yuqing." You don't know, she's like another me in this world, the two of us, too much too much alike. We are all the kind of people who will give everything for the sake of our family. I didn't even need to listen to what she said to understand what she was thinking. At the beginning, I knew that she married Lu Jingzhi to protect me, but when she said that she married Lu Jingzhi because I had no soldiers and no power, I still hated her and resented her. In fact, if I think about it carefully, what I hate and resent is not her at all, but myself. I hated myself for not being able to protect her, but what I did was a stab in her and in my bloody heart. Isn't that ridiculous, you say? I love her as myself, as my own life, but unfortunately I don't treat myself very well......"

Gu Weiqing quietly looked at Bai Qiaoxuan, who was almost crazy, silent, quietly waiting for him to calm down, and after a while, Bai Qiaoxuan said again: "So for me, forgetting her is like forgetting myself, it's too difficult and too difficult." I was really afraid that I wouldn't be able to do it, and I felt like I might not be able to do it in my life, and if that was the case, what would I do? What should Ciel do......"

"Leave."

Bai Qiaoxuan raised his head, "What?" ”

Gu Wei replied lightly: "Leave." Leave Jindu, leave Xi'er, leave Tong Yuqing, leave all of us for a while, travel, join the army...... It's good to do anything, in short, go out and see the outside world, and then you will find that the world is so big, there are not only two women, Tong Yuqing and Lu Xi. ”

"Is that really okay? Have you tried that? ”

Gu Weiqing said: "No. I'm used to doing whatever I want, and I'm always unconcerned, so I don't know if it's working, but if I encounter something that I can't think of, I'll exile myself for a while. Looking back now, the things that once bothered me were as trivial as dust. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan suddenly felt that Gu Weiqing looked stubborn on the surface, but in fact, he might be the one who lived the most clearly among them.

Gu Weiqing's hand shook in front of his eyes, "Hey, why are you looking at me like this?" I warn you, you must not fall in love with me, or you will only get hurt, and I have no interest in men. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan just wanted to thank him, patted his face and said, "If it weren't for your kindness to help me, your good-looking little white face would have been ruined by me." ”

After saying that, Bai Qiaoxuan got up and left, Gu Weiqing shouted, "Do you have a conscience?" I still pity you. ”

Seeing Bai Qiaoxuan leaving, Boss Ma walked up to Gu Weiqing and said, "This young master, Young Master Bai didn't pay just now, look ......"

Gu Weiqing scolded Bai Qiaoxuan in his heart, but he had no choice but to obediently take out the silver and go back to the beauty to complain......

After a night of Spring Festival, Gu Weiqing returned to Ningtai with his family, Gu Weiqing saw that his mother was about to enter when he arrived at the gate of the house, and hurriedly asked: "Mother, the large number of things that Aunt Lu gave you are still in my car, you don't take it yourself, so someone can take it." ”

Xi Yiqian didn't reply, and said directly: "You can take it all." ”

"No," Gu Weiqing scratched his head and smiled, "That's what she gave you, and it's not something for me." Women's things, what's the use of me coming? ”

Xi Yiqian said impatiently: "You don't need it, aren't there flocks of warblers and swallows outside?" Take it and give it to them. ”

Before the words fell, Xi Yiqian had already entered the mansion, Gu Weiqing was stunned in place, and muttered: "Those Yingying Yanyan are not the same age as you......"

Gu Weiqing was hung out of the door, so he could only find a way to send these things out, and as he walked, he suddenly remembered that Helingfang would always do some good deeds, so he pulled these gifts there.

The person guarding the door knew his car and greeted him early, "Gu Gongzi, you are here, please come inside." ”

Gu Weiqing waved his hand, "No need, I'm just looking for your owner to have something to do, just let her come out." ”

"I'm sorry, Gu Gongzi, our owner went out a few days ago, and he hasn't come back yet."

Gu Weiqing was a little surprised, "Went out?" So what day did she leave? Where did it go? Did you say when you would be back? ”

The gatekeeper smiled awkwardly, "I only know that the owner left seven days ago, as for where she went and when she will come back, I don't know." However, the owner didn't bring luggage when he went out, so he shouldn't have gone far away. ”

Gu Wei nodded lightly and said, "Then I won't look for her, it's not a big deal." I just want to donate some things to your workshop, you can see, you can use what you can keep, and if you can't use it, continue to donate. Everything is in the trunk, you can call a few brothers to help carry it. ”

"Okay."

After they finished unloading their things, Gu Weiqing drove directly to Juxiang Courtyard, with warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, Qiong Jelly and Jade Liquid in his hand, and the sound of the heavenly piano on the side, he was really happy like a fairy. However, it is also boring to always live the days of heavenly immortals, so three days later, Gu Weiqing invited his friends to play polo in the western suburbs.

But just as he was about to leave, Gu Weiqing found that his car had broken down, so he could only call his friend and ask him to come to Juxiangyuan to pick him up, and then go to the western suburbs racecourse together. It didn't take long for the phone in Gu Weiqing's room to ring.
