Chi Tang was puzzled.

Why did the more she wanted to say good things for Lu Zijin, the more ugly her father's face became?

Until I got home, I still had a calm face.

"Come with me!" After entering the house, Chi Changting dropped such a sentence and went back to the study with his hands behind his back.

Chi Tang reflected on what he had done recently, and after making sure that he had not made a mistake, he calmly followed in.

Chi Changting entered the study, sat down on the chair in the middle, waved back left and right, and looked at her with deep eyes, as if in an interrogative posture.

Chi Tang felt inexplicably empty in his heart, and introspected himself again before he straightened his waist.

Chi Changting smiled and asked, "What did you say to Su Jin alone in Qingrui Garden today?" ”

Chi Tang's face froze, and he was thinking about his words, when he heard another question: "When did you meet Su Jin?" ”

"I don't know......" Chi Tang subconsciously denied it, halfway through the denial, he was blocked by Chi Changting's eyes, lowered his head and pinched his fingers, and whispered: "Just, on the day of the birthday banquet of Lufu......"

Chi Changting raised his daughter as a father and a mother, and the child has a clear character, whether he is lying or not, it is not obvious at a glance.

He sighed and said, "Ah Tang has grown up, and he has something to hide from his father......"

Chi Tang heard a headache in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I'm not-" The tone was paused, remembering the conversation with Yan Songyun just now, and changed his tone and said in a low voice: "Su Jin should have been the future husband of the shirt, at the birthday banquet of the Lu Mansion, they met and met, and in the spring of the fourteenth year, he married the shirt, and in the autumn of the fourteenth year, he married the shirt. ”

Chi Changting frowned and looked at her for a long time, his eyes were deep: "Since you are Lu Qi's beloved, why are you entangled with him?" ”

Chi Tang's heart was sour, and he almost cried: "He's not a good person......"

When Lu Zishan entered Beijing to get married, they met once, and she was still a shy and happy girl at that time.

When I saw her again a year later, she was already so emaciated that she could barely recognize her.

It's just that no matter how she asks, Lu Zishan refuses to say.

Later, she asked people to ask Mr. Yan, and Mr. Yan only sent back one sentence: "If you reconcile, there is still a way to live." ”

But Lu Zishan did not reconcile with Su Jin after all.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Xinghe, she died.

Su Jin is a young man, talented and beautiful, after marrying a wife, he does not accept concubines, does not have maids, does not linger in the land of fireworks, and is a well-known good son-in-law.

Everyone only said that Lu Qi was not blessed.

But Chitang knew that it must not be like that.

She even suspected Su Jin of murdering Lu Zishan, but Su Jin did not get any benefit from it, and even after Lu Zishan's death, he announced in public that he would keep his wife and filial piety for Lu Zishan for three years, which touched countless women in Beijing.

But so what, the shirt is gone after all.

"Su Jin is not a good person, and he can't marry him again......" Chi Tang muttered.

suddenly remembered the events of the birthday banquet, and his eyes suddenly gathered: "On the day of the birthday banquet, I met him with shirts, and he drew the two of us as soon as he turned his head, which shows that his character is frivolous!" ”

"And I lost the hairpin, he picked it up, and he didn't return it to me in time!"

"Today in Qingrui Garden, I met Third Brother Lu, Fifth Uncle Xiao, Su Jin and a few other Xiaolang at the meeting, but Su Jin secretly came to me privately, I just questioned him about the butterfly hairpin, and didn't say anything else! Although he admitted that he had picked it up at the time, he deduced that he had lost it! ”

As the little girl Chi spoke, a malicious light flashed in her eyes, and she approached Chi Changting with compassion and said, "Daddy, how can this kind of Sven scum participate in the examination?" ”

Chi Changting smiled: "Su Jin is not a tribute student of Wu County, whether he can participate in the examination or not, I can't control it!" ”

Chi Tang didn't give up: "You write a letter to Yu Hang Taishou to expose his true colors!" ”

Chi Changting shook his head and smiled: "The Su family is the in-law of the Lu family, I wrote such a letter, didn't I want to offend the Lu family?" Besides, no matter how Su Jin treats Lu Qi, he participates in the imperial examination with real talent and learning, how can he hinder his future because of his children's personal feelings? ”

Chi Tang was angry: "Daddy, why are you like this, if it wasn't Lu Zishan who married Su Jin and ended up depressed, it wasn't me-"

"Poof" sound.

Chi Tang only felt a cold light flash in front of him, and when he looked closely, the saber hanging on the wall was already out of its sheath, and the hilt was holding it tightly in Chi Changting's hand.

His eyes were cold, and his voice was as awe-inspiring as winter: "Really? ”

Chi Tang shivered and shook his head: "No...... It's a shirt ......."

Chi Changting's face was relieved at this time, and he threw the long sword back into the scabbard.

Chi Tang muttered "Daddy", and didn't know what to say for a while.

Chi Changting touched her head and said softly: "Daddy knows this in his heart, if Lu Qi wants to marry Su Si, Daddy will definitely talk to Lord Lu, don't entangle with Su Jin." ”

Chi Tang pinched his palm.

It was she who hid her father's death and didn't say it, so he didn't believe in Shen Zhichun's goodness, didn't believe Su Jin's badness, and didn't realize the sinister nature of the prince's assassination; It was she who hid the pain of the capital for three years, and he only treated her as a little girl who was still under his wing.

Daddy didn't want her to work hard and be troubled, so he took care of everything by himself; She didn't want her father to feel sorry for herself, so she didn't mention the painful part.

Her don't say it, and her father's don't say it, in fact, it's no different.

Chi Tang bit his lip and said softly: "Xinghe fourteenth year test, Xiao Zhuo did not participate, Su Jin is the second place; In the palace test, the champion is Du Yan of Jingzhao Mansion, the list eye is Runan Sun Yuanchong, Su Jin is Tanhua, and the lobby brother of the capital ranks twenty-third——"

Chi Changting's eyes moved, and his body quietly tensed.

"This autumn, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince traveled on behalf of the heavens, and on October 22, he went to the vicinity of Wucheng County, Wuxing County, and was assassinated by water bandits in Wudun Village——"

"Ah Tang!" He tried to interrupt again.

Chi Tang raised the speed of his voice suddenly: "Fortunately, Daddy rescued him in time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was only slightly injured-" She clenched the corners of his clothes, her eyes filled with tears, "Daddy, why did you go to Wuxing County?" Why did you just save His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Chi Changting was silent.

She had asked this question last time, but although her eyes were trembling at that time, she was not too excited, unlike at this moment, her eyes were full of emotions brought by memories, and he was almost out of breath.

He vaguely guessed something, but he didn't dare to ask.

Even if Ah Tang already knew about the prince's southward departure, he still couldn't say a word.

Chi Changting touched the top of his daughter's hair and sighed lightly: "Ah Tang, it's just a dream-"

"It's not a dream!" She burst into tears, holding his hand, her eyes full of grief.

"It's not a dream! You said that you went to Wuxing County to deal with a business business, and you said that you would definitely rush back to celebrate my birthday, but I waited from sunrise to sunset, from sunset to dark, and when I fell asleep, you didn't come back......"

"When I woke up, Mr. Yan stood at the door and looked at me, and he said you, said you ......" The word was so dumb that he didn't make a sound after all.

Chi Changting couldn't hold back any longer, and hugged his daughter who broke down and cried tightly in his arms.

"Ah Tang......" he called, the end of the note choked, his eyes slightly wet.
