Chapter Forty-Nine: Their Marriage Contracts Are Decided Together
Lu Shichen, who was exposed, did not show too much embarrassment, but instead crossed his arms around his chest, revealing a disapproving look: "My original intention is the same as what I said, and I have no opinion on how grandpa deals with it." As for what my grandfather said, I didn't think about it. ”
Old Man Lu was choked back and wanted to have a seizure, but after seeing Nie Anxia, he endured it again.
His gaze fell on Zhuang Yuexian: "Yuexian, what do you have to say about this matter." ”
Zhuang Yuexian, who was named by name, suddenly trembled: "Dad, Nie Anxia's face was indeed hit by me." But I really didn't mean to......"
Nie Anxia just wanted to laugh when she heard this, this person was beaten, could it be that she didn't mean it, could it be that she held her hand and hit her in the face?
Old Man Lu also seemed to find this statement very interesting, so he didn't interrupt, but just motioned Zhuang Yuexian with his eyes to continue.
"That day, I was walking in the garden, and Nie Anxia bumped into me and said bad words to me, I couldn't get angry at the time, so I ...... He slapped her in the face. ”
At first glance, this statement is indeed flawless, with cause and effect, and in this way, the sin of Nie Anxia's beating is also blamed on herself.
But the holes in the discourse are simply too obvious.
The first reaction of the people who wanted to hear these words was, what did Nie Anxia say that could make Zhuang Yuexian beat her?
I saw Lu Shichen snort coldly, and then asked: "I'm curious, what did An An say that could beat her aunt angrily?" ”
"This ......"
Zhuang Yuexian was suddenly speechless, and her mouth opened and closed several times, but she never spoke.
Lu Shangqi frowned tightly when he saw Zhuang Yuexian's silence, and finally sighed with hatred, and no longer looked at Zhuang Yuexian.
"Why doesn't Auntie speak? Aren't you the one who said An An was disrespectful just now? How can you convince the crowd if you speak alone? When convicting a person, you always have to produce evidence, don't you? ”
Lu Shichen's questioning was reasonable, but Nie Anxia, the main victim of this incident, didn't particularly care.
She was neither angry nor happy that someone had finally brought justice to her.
Zhuang Yuexian does have evidence, but her evidence can't be taken out, because once it is taken out, she has worked hard in the Lu family for so many years, and all of it will be gone!
"Dad, no matter what the reason is, it's my fault that I hit Nie Anxia. I can apologize to Nie Anxia, whatever. ”
She...... Confessed.
As long as the things of more than 20 years ago don't have to be exposed in front of Lu Shangqi, she can endure all the grievances.
Zhuang Yuexian's body trembled slightly, and her eyes glared at Nie Anxia who was sitting diagonally opposite her.
She will definitely take revenge for this revenge.
Nie Anxia, don't be complacent too early!
"That's not good, you'd better tell the truth of the matter, is it because you can't get used to what An An is doing, and you took the opportunity of only the two of you in the garden to beat her, or is An An really insulting and offended you!"
Regarding Nie Anxia's affairs, Lu Shichen's attitude has always been that he can't rub a little sand in his eyes.
He proved with his actions that he would never let Nie Anxia suffer even the slightest grievance!
Zhuang Yuexian was speechless when questioned, her face was red, and after thinking for a moment, she lowered her head fiercely.
Lu Shichen, you are simply excessive!
"I admit that I couldn't get used to what Nie Anxia did, so I found a reason to beat her casually. Dad, no matter how you punish you, I don't complain. ”
Since she decided to bite this matter to death, she must not go back.
But Lu Shichen refused to let go so easily: "Auntie's words are really incomprehensible, obviously you said that An An was disrespectful to you before, why did you change your words now?" Isn't there something else hidden here? ”
"I've already admitted that it was my fault, what do you want? I can apologize to Nie Anxia in public. Are you satisfied? Zhuang Yuexian gritted her teeth and said.
She couldn't wait to stab Lu Shichen in front of her to death with an eye knife.
Why didn't she expect this Lu Shichen to be so bold?
Since Nie Anxia, a woman, came to the Lu family, Lu Shichen's changes have been too great!
But it's not too late to know about this matter now, as long as Nie Anxia hasn't rightfully married into the Lu family, she still has a chance!
Zhuang Yuexian thought like this, and her heart relaxed a lot.
"Look at what Auntie said, I'm just a junior, how can I make my aunt apologize to me? If you fight, you will fight. Nie Anxia said aggrievedly.
Lu Shichen looked at Nie Anxia unexpectedly: Do you know what you mean by saying this?
He gestured with his eyes, and Nie Anxia responded very calmly: Don't worry, look at me.
Lu Shichen closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Zhuang Yuexian was unwilling: "Nie Anxia, what did you do at the beginning, you know it yourself!" Don't apologize to you without me, I don't accept your favor! ”
"Then what did I do, Auntie said?"
In fact, if Zhuang Yuexian hadn't wanted to put it on this, she would never have mentioned it.
Zhuang Yuexian's pigtails were caught by herself, if she was forced too quickly, the dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and she was afraid that no one would look too good on her face.
Zhuang Yue turned her head gracefully and stopped talking.
Old Man Lu has seen enough, and he can guess some of what happened.
Like everyone else, he was also very curious about what Nie Anxia said to Zhuang Yuexian, which made her so angry that she started beating people, but she still refused to say the reason in front of everyone.
"Enough! Yuexian, you are an aunt, you really don't look like an aunt, pay more attention to yourself in the future, I don't want to hear about such a shameful thing again! “
"Yes!"
When Zhuang Yuexian heard that the old man did not intend to pursue it, she nodded again and again in agreement: "That...... Dad, can we go back? ”
The matter is settled, Old Man Lu can't let this big group of people sit stupidly here, right?
Her voice really spoke the hearts of many people, many of them, not only Lu Shichen and Nie Anxia, but also the servants who stood in the distance and wanted to listen to the excitement, but did not dare to get too close.
Old Man Lu nodded with satisfaction at first, and said slowly: "Let everyone stay today, in fact, it is not only for Miss Nie's face to be beaten, but also for a more important matter, I have to discuss it with everyone." ”
Old Man Lu is the head of the Lu family, and no one in the Lu family has the courage to oppose what he wants to do.
Now that he said that he wanted to discuss with everyone, everyone present gasped.
Nie Anxia looked at Lu Shichen inexplicably, and the other party also looked at him incomprehensibly, completely extinguishing Nie Anxia's curiosity.
Lu Shangqi was the first to speak: "Dad, you can call the shots if there is anything." We don't have an opinion. ”
This is what he has always said, no matter who has come before or after, he has never disobeyed Old Man Lu in the slightest.
However, even Lu Shangqi, who was so obedient, still couldn't get the approval of Old Man Lu, and he also felt a little incomprehensible.
"It's not going to work." Old Man Lu immediately shook his head: "Miss Nie has been at our house for a long time, although she is Shi Chen's girlfriend in name, but the girlfriend is still a little different from the Lu family, so that there are always people who have something inappropriate." ”
What does that mean?
Does Old Man Lu want to mention her marriage to Lu Shichen?
Nie Anxia was so excited that she didn't know what to say, but thanks to Lu Shichen secretly holding her hand, she calmed down and didn't make any embarrassing moves.
"Dad, what do you mean......" Lu Shangqi asked cautiously, his eyes full of apprehension.
Is this trying to get Nie Anxia married?
I don't know if it's because of his weak heart, that "there is always someone" seems to have a feeling of being aimed at himself and Zhuang Yuexian.
No one can guess what the old man thinks in his heart, and if the old man hadn't brought up this matter himself, he wouldn't even ask.
"I mean, it's time to give Miss Nie a name, you can't stay in the Lu family so unexplained."
This sentence is simply an acknowledgment of Nie Anxia's status in the Lu family!
Nie Anxia's small universe immediately boiled, it seems that her bitter meat trick is effective!
As long as he can get engaged to Lu Shichen, then getting the Seven Elephant Linglong Pagoda to avenge his old father is just around the corner!
Zhuang Yuexian's heart chuckled when she heard this, and she fell to the bottom.
This Nie Anxia hasn't married in yet, so she cleaned them up so miserably, and when she marries in, will they still have good fruits to eat? But listening to the old man's meaning, this matter should have been decided!
What to do, what to do?
She suddenly had no idea, and quickly looked at her husband, but found that the other party's face was not good-looking.
Old Man Lu took in everyone's reactions, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Although Miss Nie is from a small civilian family, she is a good girl in the end, but Shi Chen's marriage is also a first-class major event for our Lu family, and we must not be sloppy, and I can't have the final say alone, so I have an idea." ”
When Old Man Lu said this, he couldn't help sighing, and then said: "Shang Qi, you are not young now, and you are also a father." I don't know if you can understand what I did to you and your brother back then, and I won't mention the past, but your brother's heart is really ruthless, and he didn't come back until he had Shi Chen. ”
What happened back then has always been a taboo topic in the Lu family.
Although there was no order forbidding the servants from discussing in private, surprisingly no one dared to discuss the matter.
Now that Old Man Lu mentions this matter again, Lu Shangqi can't help but think back to the days when he and his brother were young, they were punished together, cried together, and laughed together, and suddenly felt a little sad.
Not to mention Lu Shichen, he knows how difficult his parents were back then.
Even if his grandfather was not close to him, his father never complained about him, and told him so many heroic deeds of his grandfather.
His reverence for his grandfather was cultivated at that time.
At this time, his eyes were already red, and he held back his tears, so he didn't shed tears in front of everyone.
Nie Anxia knew that Lu Shichen's heart must be very uncomfortable, so he quietly took his hand, wanting to transfer his strength to him through the contact of his hand.
However, Old Man Lu's memories continued: "...... Then your brother died, and now I'm old, Shang Qi, you and Yuexian are Shi Chen's uncles and aunts, unlike back then, you are an adult and a father, this time, we all made this decision together. ”
