"Okay, okay, haven't you seen what Sister Xiuwan has been tortured into these days?" Qingwan hurriedly said: "I'll take her to wash her face first, take a good rest, eat something, it's not too late for you to ask if you have anything to say." ”

"I'm careless," Lu Yanyi hurriedly said, "Then you guys go quickly." I'll be waiting for you outside. ”

Lu Xiufang sobbed and went to the inner room. Half an hour later, the two came out again.

"How?" Lu Yanyi, who was leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to think, opened his eyes as if he had been awakened suddenly: "Don't rest for a while?" ”

Qingwan looked at the girl next to her: "Originally, I wanted Sister Xiuwan to sleep for a while, but she resolutely refused, and she had to say everything to you before she was down-to-earth." ”

"Second brother," Lu Xiufang sat in front of her brother, and before she could speak, she couldn't stop her tears from falling again.

"Don't worry, say it slowly," Lu Yanyi personally wiped away her tears: "With me here, what are you afraid of?" This time, the second brother will definitely take this breath for you. ”

"When the third brother came to the shop that day, I was a little surprised at first, why did he suddenly appear? But I didn't think too much about it, and then the third brother wanted to take me away, and I didn't doubt it. Before leaving, Sister Fang asked where his house was, and the third brother said that it was on Hexi Street. But when I got into the carriage, I found that the direction was wrong, and as soon as I opened my mouth to ask, the third brother became impatient. I didn't dare say anything more. The carriage had gone a long way before it stopped, and when I got out of the carriage, I saw that it was a rural place! There weren't many families at all, so I was anxious and asked where this was, but the third brother didn't say. Take me to the house, it is spacious, the interior is well decorated, everything is complete, I feel a little uneasy, I want to leave, but the third brother said"

Speaking of this, Lu Xiufang paused, and Qingwan hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" ”

The third brother said that he didn't have enough money, so he could only rent this house, and said that I must not leave, saying that this was originally the property of the Su family, and now the Su family has fallen, so it was stolen and rented out cheaply. When he said this, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to say I was leaving. ”

"It's true." Lu Yanyi sneered: "I know that the Su family has a house in Fuhugang, and they used to be a secret training place for henchmen. It seems that now this house has been given to your third brother. ”

"Yes, yes," Lu Xiufang's eyes lit up: "It's Fuhugang." I've heard the mother-in-law talk about it. There were more than a dozen people there, five or six male servants who took care of the house, and a few mothers-in-law who did rough work in the house, all of whom were five big and three coarse, and they were frightening when they saw it. However, the third brother comforted me vigorously, saying that this place is remote, and it is not okay to use a few more people. I also took out all the gifts he had prepared for me. There are a lot of them, and there are a lot of things from outside the Turkic world, which I have never seen before. ”

"He's got a lot of stuff out of it." The corners of Lu Yanyi's lips drew a contemptuous arc.

Lu Xiufang was very remorseful: "I'm really stupid, I didn't think about anything else, so I stayed there, the third brother went out early every day, said that he was doing errands, and came back before noon, chatted with me, and said that he would take his father from his hometown in a few days and celebrate the New Year together, I didn't doubt it at all." If I hadn't seen the fireworks last night, I would have been completely in the dark! ”

"You girl, how many times have I told you, but I can't remember it."

"Who would have thought that my own brother would also poison me!" Lu Xiufang muttered: "Those old women usually don't leave me, saying that they don't dare to serve me well." Only last night, they were all attracted by the fireworks. I also looked at it curiously, and as soon as I saw the fireworks of the caryophyllus, I immediately understood. When I got back to the house, I thought, how can I escape, at first I used the excuse to go outside, but the old women didn't follow, and then I was anxious, but the mother-in-law also changed their faces, saying that I was ordered by Lord Lu to not allow me to go out half a step, and now, I completely understood! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiufang's voice was also choked: "The third brother left yesterday afternoon, and he didn't come back until midnight, and those old women didn't dare to relax their vigilance and watched me closely." I had no choice but to say that I was tired, turn off the lights and lie down. It wasn't until the middle of the night, when they were asleep, that I dared to get up quietly and look for an opportunity to sneak outside. But as soon as I walked to the corner of the wall, I was found by these people, and chased after me with a lamp, fortunately I had been prepared, and sprinkled beans on the ground, these people slipped and twisted, and couldn't get up, so I counted on the wall, and a woman struggled to pull me, and my clothes were torn, and I pulled off the hairpin on my head and stabbed her hand hard before I got out. When I got outside, it was almost dawn, and in the distance, I heard the sound of the third brother riding back. I didn't dare to run around, for fear of being discovered by them. Just hiding behind a big tree. Seeing the third brother enter the courtyard, but after a while, everyone in the house came out, holding instruments in their hands, and my heart was about to jump out! ”

"So you've been hiding behind a tree?" Qingwan asked.

"How dare I?" Lu Xiufang smiled bitterly: "That tree is not far from the house, it is easy to be discovered, I heard the third brother say, as long as you find it, you will immediately tie it up tightly, and say anything, this girl still dares to run, and when I finish it, I have to kill her to relieve my hatred!" Second brother, tell me, why is he so ruthless? ”

"There is everyone in this world," Lu Yanyi said coldly, "You will know later." ”

Lu Xiufang was very emotional: "Those subordinates scattered to look for it, I was in a hurry, so I had to look for it randomly, fortunately, next to the big tree, there was a pile of firewood and grass, I couldn't care about anything, so I hid in it, and waited until the morning, when I heard the third brother leave, and told those people to look for it in the distance, I dared to come out!" ”

After speaking, I couldn't cry anymore.

"It's all over, it's over," Lu Yanyi comforted her: "Didn't the second brother say just now, I will definitely avenge you." From today on, you will stay at your sister's house, and you will raise it for a while, and when the war on the front line is over and everything has passed, you will go out again. ”

"Where's this bastard Third Brother?" Lu Xiufang stood up: "I'm going to find him!" I'm going to tear him with my own hands!" ”

"He's gone back to the front." Lu Yanyi said lightly.

"The front line?"

"yes, don't you know that, too? He has already taken refuge in the Su family, and this time he came back to kidnap you as a hostage, just to threaten me and get the information he wanted, and now that he has achieved his goal, he naturally has to go back to ask for credit. ”

"Second brother!" Lu Xiufang was anxious: "Did you really tell him the information?" ”

Lu Yanyi smiled but did not speak.

"This won't work! Even if I take my life, I can't let them succeed! Lu Xiufang's face turned purple in a hurry, and she didn't know what to say, so she raised her feet and ran outside.

"Hey, good sister, come back quickly." Qingwan hurriedly grabbed her: "Who is your second brother?" Can you leak the information? What Lu Pengao told was false information, this is a plan! ”

Lu Xiufang's eyes lit up, and she thought for a moment before she smiled: "I'll just say it!" No matter what happens to the second brother, there will be a way! ”

At this moment, a familiar little bird flew in from outside and circled around Lu Yanyi.

"Is it the pigeon that was released yesterday?" Qingwan recognized it immediately.

Lu Yanyi immediately took down the note on the carrier pigeon: "It was written by Zhu Yan!" Let me go back immediately! ”

"General Zhu Xiao" Lu Xiufang wanted to speak and stopped.

"Look at my memory!" Lu Yanyi suddenly remembered something, smiled, and took out a letter from his body: "The most important thing was forgotten." This is Zhu Yanqian's instructions and entrusted to me to give it to you. If you forget to give it to you, you can't blame me for three or five years? ”

Lu Xiufang was overjoyed, snatched the letter, and couldn't wait to open it, looking at the handwriting on it, her lips were trembling.

"Zhu Yan is all right," Lu Yanyi said with a smile: "It's just that the pain of lovesickness can't stand it." I don't need to say much about this, I probably have to write it several times. If he knew what you had been going through these days, he would have beaten me up! ”

"He dares!" Lu Xiufang blurted out.

Lu Yanyi laughed: "That's good, with my sister in charge, I won't worry!" Okay, hello was born here to recuperate, and in less than half a month, the war on the front line will be calm. ”

"This is leaving?" The sister-in-law spoke in unison.

"There can't be delays." Lu Yanyi nodded: "I've been troublesome with my uncle and aunt these days." Thank you for me. ”

"Sister Xiuwan can be in my house, and my father and mother can't be happy." Qingwan smiled: "You just have to rest assured, there is me here, we are waiting for you to come back for the Lantern Festival." ”

Lu Yanyi didn't say anything, the three of them went to the front hall together, said goodbye to Qing Boding and his wife, and got on the horse and left.

The next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, and this year, because of the war, many families have husbands and sons who are still on the front line, so the atmosphere of the New Year is not too strong. In the Qing family, Qing Boding and his wife are in a good mood, and Hanguan also has a few days off and goes home to reunite, so the family is quite lively.

Lu Xiufang didn't suffer any injuries on her body, but she was frightened and angry, so she was depressed, Qingwan specially gave her two bottles of newly made cosmetics first, and talked to her, cut window flowers together, and prepared a family banquet, Lu Xiufang was a little happier.

Every year in the palace is the first day of the first month to hold a banquet, inviting the edicts of the eunuchs to enter the palace, this year there is news that the emperor is worried about the war on the front line, the Holy Communion is not safe, the queen and the prince serve day and night, so the banquet was changed to the eighth day of the first month.

Qingwan didn't put this matter at ease, on the morning of the eighth day of the new year, everyone got up late, Hanguan was very interested, and set off firecrackers in the courtyard, and the crackling sound was not over, and the maid came in and back.
