Chapter 196: The Meeting I Looked Forward to
"What?" As soon as he heard that Lu Xuan had introduced himself to Li Ce, Lu Qingmeng's face changed suddenly.
Cui Shi didn't notice that something was wrong, and instead walked to Lu Qingmeng's side and held her hand: "Your brother is also for your good, if this Lord Li is really good looking, you can follow him, and you can rest easy for the rest of your life." ”
Seeing that Cui was blocking herself in front, Lu Xuan simply played freely, and she immediately followed Lu Qingmeng's side:
"I know that you have been thin-skinned since you were a child, and you will definitely be overwhelmed when you encounter this kind of thing, and I and Master Li are also colleagues, regardless of whether you have known each other before, if you can tie the knot in the future, it will be considered a good thing, why don't you go with me to meet it?"
"But this ......" Lu Qingmeng was embarrassed in every way.
Lu Xuan seized this point and questioned her: "Qingmeng, you are so resistant, didn't you really have a relationship with Master Li early in the morning, afraid that I would find out?" ”
Lu Xuan deliberately asked Lu Qingmeng like this, although it was a joke, but in this case, if she still insisted on refusing, it would be equivalent to indirectly admitting the secret affair with Li Ce.
Lu Qingmeng fell silent, and Cui Shi hurriedly encouraged her while the iron was hot: "Qingmeng, your brother is also a good idea, you can go and meet it, whether it is successful or not, we will not force you." ”
was so caught between Cui and Lu Xuan's mother and daughter, Lu Qingmeng had no choice but to nod and agree.
Lu Nanjun on the side was full of suspicion and couldn't speak.
It wasn't until dinner dispersed and everyone went back to their rooms that Lu Nanjun caught up in Lu Xuan's direction: "Brother, I have something to ask you." ”
Lu Nanjun walked towards Lu Xuan, and was about to speak but was stopped by her, only to see Lu Xuan look around, and then whispered to him: "If you have anything to say, go back to the room." ”
Now is different from the past, since Lu Qingmeng has moved in, the Lu Mansion is no longer a safe place everywhere, and some words can no longer be discussed in the mansion as blatantly as in the past.
Lu Nanjun was silent at this time, and then followed Lu Xuan back to the room.
Locking the door behind her back and walking to the innermost part of the room, Lu Xuan allowed Lu Nanjun to speak out, but what he wanted to ask was now clear in her heart.
Lu Xuan simply spoke for Lu Nanjun: "You want to ask me about the things I just mentioned at dinner, right?" ”
Lu Nanjun nodded, and then asked Lu Xuan with a blank face:
"Didn't my brother always suspect that Li Ce had bad intentions? How did you introduce Lu Qingmeng, a person with bad intentions, to him? Isn't my brother afraid that the two of them will be embarrassed and will do things that are not good for you? ”
Lu Xuan raised his lips and smiled when he heard this: "I'm afraid that the two of them have already been embarrassed, so why do you need me to introduce them?" ”
Lu Nanjun was shocked at first when he heard this, and then became even more puzzled: "Since my brother has long known that there is collusion between them, why do you want to match them again?" ”
When Lu Xuan heard this, he immediately reached out and gently stroked Lu Nanjun's hair: "Nanjun, you are still young, and there are many things that you still can't understand. ”
When Lu Nanjun heard this, he was unconvinced: "I don't understand, but my brother can teach me!" ”
Lu Xuan sighed, and then explained to Lu Nanjun: "The visible enemy is always much easier to deal with than the enemy in the shadows, isn't it?" ”
Just by saying this sentence, Lu Nanjun understood Lu Xuan's intentions: "So my brother deliberately introduced Lu Qingmeng to Li Ce, but in fact, he exposed all their behaviors in front of his eyes, so as to save himself some trouble?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction: "Nanjun is really smart. ”
Previously, Lu Qingmeng still had a reason to secretly collude with Li Ce, even if he was bumped into by Lu Xuan, he could prevaricate for other reasons.
But now that they are introduced by Lu Xuan, the relationship between the three of them will inevitably be exposed to the sun, so if Lu Qingmeng and Li Ce want to make some small moves behind their backs, it will not be difficult for Lu Xuan to find out.
Moreover, if the marriage between Lu Qingmeng and Li Ce is really achieved, she will have no reason to hook up with either King Chang or the crown prince, which can be regarded as saving Lu Xuan a big trouble in the future.
The next day, Lu Xuan ran to Lu Qingmeng's villa early in the morning: "Qingmeng, have you cleaned up?" ”
Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Lu Xuan's voice: What is she doing at this time?
She came over to open the door suspiciously, but saw that Lu Xuan was dressed neatly, as if she was going to see something important.
"Cousin, ...... are you" Lu Qingmeng asked her while looking at what Lu Xuan was wearing.
Lu Xuan immediately pretended to be innocent and responded to her: "Didn't you say yesterday that I would take you to see Master Li, no, I packed up early in the morning and came to look for you." ”
Lu Qingmeng was even more stunned when he heard this: "Go see Lord Li, now?" ”
Lu Xuan nodded, looking at Lu Qingmeng with joy in her eyes, but she was embarrassed: "But, but I'm not ready." ”
"Oh, there's nothing to prepare, Qingmeng you are naturally beautiful, and Lord Li is not a person who is greedy for vulgar powder, you just need to dress according to your usual clothes."
Lu Xuan said this on his lips, but what he thought in his heart was: How can I give you time to prepare? If you were ready, wouldn't you be in front of me a great drama of not knowing each other?
And what Lu Xuan wanted to see was the look of Lu Qingmeng and Li Ce being arranged to meet without warning.
"Lord Li's side......" Lu Qingmeng asked Lu Xuan about Li Ce's situation.
Lu Xuan didn't even think about it, so he prevaricated her: "I already made an agreement with him yesterday on Lord Li's side, and the appointment is today, don't think too much, go and clean it up." ”
In fact, Lu Xuan didn't make an appointment with Li Ce at all, she just wanted to see how Lu Qingmeng would react when he suddenly appeared in front of Li Ce.
Lu Qingmeng was hesitating when he heard Lu Xuan's words, but outside the door, Lu Nanjun supported Cui all the way.
"Qingmeng, your brother is all for your good, so you can go with him." Cui's voice came from the doorway.
Lu Xuan didn't expect to get such an assist at this time, she was looking at the direction of the visitor with a confused expression, but saw Lu Nanjun smug a look at her.
Thinking that Lu Nanjun must have known about Lu Xuan's plan early in the morning, and deliberately dragged Cui's over early in the morning as a lobbyist, Lu Xuan couldn't help but praise Lu Nanjun in his heart for his cleverness.
Cui Shi and Lu Nanjun walked towards Lu Qingmeng's side, and Cui Shi stepped forward and held Lu Qingmeng's hand:
"Qingmeng Nanjun told me that he saw that Master Li last time, and he was indeed upright and dignified, and he said that he was compatible with your prosperous world."
Even Lu Xuan didn't believe that these words came from Lu Nanjun's mouth, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, but he shrugged his shoulders with disgust, indicating that he was also helpless.
Lu Qingmeng originally wanted to find an excuse to reject Lu Xuan, but now that Cui Shi was standing in front of her and staring at her intently, he really didn't give her any chance to escape.
In desperation, Lu Qingmeng had no choice but to respond, thinking that since Lu Xuan had made an appointment with Li Ce in the morning, he would inevitably be on guard, so he had to put this bet on him.
Lu Qingmeng nodded: "Okay, since it is my brother's good intentions, Qingmeng is better to obey than to be respectful." ”
After that, Lu Qingmeng immediately went back to dress up, and then left the Lu Mansion with Lu Xuan under the eyes of Cui's and Lu Nanjun.
The two passed through many teahouses, restaurants, and inns along the way, but Lu Xuan had no intention of stopping.
Seeing that he was about to walk through the bustling area of Shengjing City suitable for talks, Lu Xuan did not say where he and Li Ce met where they met.
After walking for a while, Lu Qingmeng's heart became more and more panicked and uneasy, and then he asked Lu Xuan tentatively, "Cousin, where are we going?" ”
Lu Xuan smiled indifferently, and then replied casually: "Hubu." ”
Lu Qingmeng was taken aback when he heard this: "What, go to the household department?" ”
Lu Xuan stopped and nodded disappreciatively: "We officials have a bunch of official affairs to deal with every day, and Master Li is even more manageable, except for going to the household department, I really can't spare time for you to meet." ”
Hearing Lu Xuan's answer, Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but step back, with a stiff smile on his face.
"Since my cousin and Master Li are so busy, I think it's better to forget about this matter."
Seeing that Lu Qingmeng was about to escape from his eyes, Lu Xuan hurriedly pulled her back:
"Hey, it's okay to do it, I've already talked to Master Li, how can I break my promise? Besides, if you return empty-handed like this, I'm afraid A-Niang won't be able to explain it. ”
Lu Xuan was determined to let Lu Qingmeng and Li Ce meet this time, and even if she had a thousand reasons, she would not want to escape from her.
Lu Qingmeng couldn't resist Lu Xuan, so he had to follow her obediently.
The two arrived at the household compound together, and Lu Xuan deliberately took the road with the most people, and then left Lu Qingmeng in place.
"I'll go see if Master Li is here, you can wait here." Lu Xuan said this deliberately.
Although Lu Qingmeng has done all the bad things, she has to admit that she still has a good skin like a fairy.
In addition, today, under Cui's advice, I dressed up a little, and at this time, standing in the place full of men in the household department is simply more dazzling than the stars.
Everyone pointed to Lu Qingmeng for a while, and whispered-
"Where did this fairy girl come from, is it a relative of an adult, and I don't know if it's a marriage match, so I want to come up and say hello to her." Some of them looked at her with blank faces.
Among them, there were many people who witnessed what happened, and I saw someone hurriedly responding: "Didn't you see that people just came with Lu Lingshi?" That must be Lu Lingshi's person. ”
Speaking of this, some people began to sigh and be jealous of Lu Xuan-"Lu Lingshi is really blessed, they are all colleagues, why is there always such a fairy beauty by her side?" ”
