Chapter 186: Suffering
When Gu Huanli was leaving, he specially closed the door for others, and ordered Lin Wei to personally guard the intersection and not allow anyone to approach.
"I'll give you time, you can say it." Shen Xixu still looked arrogant, and Lu Xuan could feel a wave of anger suppressed under her calm appearance.
Judging from the way she calls herself, she still seems to regard Lu Xuan as a friend.
Although Lu Xuan's disguise as a man to conceal her identity has nothing to do with Shen Xixu, she has also been hurt because of it after all, so it is still necessary to give her an explanation.
Lu Xuan took a deep breath and pondered for a while, and simply informed Shen Xixu of all the causes and consequences of the matter.
On the other side, Lu Nanjun came back from outside, and at a glance he saw Lu Qingmeng, who had been absent for a long time, and his face couldn't help but be surprised.
"Why are you here? Haven't you been swept away by our Lu Mansion? Lu Nanjun was influenced by Lu Xuan, and he was not polite to Lu Qingmeng's tone.
But Lu Qingmeng now knows that she is different from her former identity, and now she is no longer the eldest lady in the Lu Mansion, and she is no different from those who are under the fence.
So even if Lu Nanjun treated her with such an indifferent attitude, she still put on a polite and polite appearance and leaned down towards the other party.
"Nanjun, you're back." Lu Qingmeng thought that he was very gentle and sensible, but Lu Nanjun's face became more and more displeased: "I'm asking you a question, haven't you heard?" β
Lu Qingmeng was stunned when he heard this, and was stunned for a while before responding to Lu Nanjun: "Oh, my aunt asked me to come back." β
Lu Nanjun couldn't believe his ears: "What? My aunt asked you to come back? How could she let you come back? Even if A-Niang is soft-hearted to you, how can my brother agree? β
Lu Nanjun understands Lu Xuan's temperament, but if she causes any harm to the Lu family, she will never forgive him easily, and give him a second chance to hurt the Lu family.
But this time, Lu Qingmeng stood here so vividly, which really made Lu Nanjun feel suspicious.
Hearing Lu Xuan's name, Lu Qingmeng had a trace of hesitation on his face, but after thinking for a while, he still responded to Lu Nanjun cheekily: "I have already seen my brother when I came back just now, and she has no objection to me living here. β
This made Lu Nanjun even more difficult to accept, what Lu Qingmeng did before was not even pleasing to him, I really don't know what means she used to persuade Lu Xuan to keep her.
However, since Lu Qingmeng said that the Cui family first led it back, then Lu Nanjun could only look for the Cui family if he wanted to ask for an explanation.
Thinking of this, Lu Nanjun really couldn't hide the anger in his heart, so he rushed up and pushed Lu Qingmeng aside: "Get out of the way for me, I'm going to ask A-Niang in person." β
Lu Qingmeng's body was thin, and he was defenseless against Lu Nanjun's push, and almost fell to the ground.
However, Lu Nanjun is not a person who blindly pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, no matter what she falls into, he only walks towards Cui's room by himself.
"A-Niang, A-Niang, are you there?" Lu Nanjun hurriedly slapped vigorously at Cui's door.
Hearing this, Cui Shi hurriedly stepped forward to open the door for him: "Nanjun? What's wrong with you? Why are you in such a hurry, but what kind of disaster has you caused outside? β
Lu Nanjun snorted coldly when he heard this: "A-Niang has brought home Lu Qingmeng's things that eat inside and outside, how much trouble can I do outside?" β
Hearing Lu Nanjun's tone, thinking that he must have already seen Lu Qingmeng, Cui's face couldn't help but look embarrassed when facing Lu Xuan.
After hesitating for a while, Cui Shi explained to Lu Nanjun:
"Qingmeng has suffered a lot outside these days, if she is left alone outside, I am afraid that she will not be able to think of what she has done, if so, it will be difficult for me to explain to his deceased parents."
"So you brought her home to continue to bring disaster to the Lu family? If there is anything wrong with the Lu family in the future, and if there is anything wrong with my sister, have you thought about how to explain it to my father? Lu Nanjun questioned Cui.
In Cui's eyes, Lu Nanjun has always been an obedient child, whether in front of Lu Xuan or in front of himself, he has never contradicted half a sentence, and now looking at his menacing appearance, it seems that he has really been stepped on by his tail.
However, Cui Shi also understood Lu Nanjun and Lu Xuan's disdain towards Lu Qingmeng, so he was not angry because of his rude behavior at this time, but explained to him calmly:
"Nanjun, I just want to give Qingmeng a chance to mend her ways, if she does anything wrong in the future, I will definitely not spare it."
That being said, but Lu Qingmeng was repeatedly forgiven for breaking the precepts before, wasn't it because Cui Shi interceded for her?
There is a first time and a second time for soft-heartedness, and Lu Nanjun really can't believe Cui's promise at this moment.
"What about Sister? Does she also agree to Lu Qingmeng's return? Lu Nanjun turned to ask about Lu Xuan's attitude.
Cui Shi couldn't help but be silent, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Ah Xuan, Ah Xuan, she ......"
Looking at Cui's fragmented appearance, he knew that Lu Xuan's attitude towards Lu Qingmeng must not be much better than Lu Nanjun.
He understood in an instant, and immediately made a stand towards Cui's:
"If Sister Ah doesn't forgive Lu Qingmeng, then I will never forgive her, Ah Niang can let her live in, but don't expect me and Sister Ah to have any good looks for her in the future."
Lu Nanjun first put the cruel words here, so that the Cui family understood that even if Lu Qingmeng lived here, he would not be able to be as carefree as before, forcing the Cui family to hesitate in his heart.
"Where's Sister? I'm going to ask Sister Ah for clarification. Lu Nanjun said, looking for Lu Xuan.
Speaking of Lu Xuan's whereabouts, Cui's heart was even more weak, and he responded casually: "Ah Xuan, she has something to do." β
Cui Shi knew what Lu Xuan was going out for, but in the face of Lu Nanjun at this moment, she still took out the excuse that Lu Xuan used to deal with herself to temporarily prevaricate him.
However, Lu Nanjun is not stupid, not to mention that he knows Lu Xuan so well, and when he sees that it is not early, he knows that Lu Xuan must be going here to avoid Lu Qingmeng.
Lu Nanjun couldn't help but snort coldly: "A-Niang is doing really well, for a person who eats inside and outside, she forced her own daughter to run outside, since A-Niang ignores A-Niang, then I'll go find A-sister and come back." β
After that, before the Cui family had time to stop her, Lu Nanjun also left her angrily.
However, in just one day, because of the appearance of a Lu Qingmeng, it seems that the Cui family has become the biggest sinner in the Lu Mansion, and her sons and daughters can't be with her.
Seeing the back of Lu Nanjun leaving, Cui's tears finally slipped from the corners of his eyes after a day of resistance.
Lu Nanjun left the Lu Mansion, but he didn't know where Lu Xuan was hiding here.
After thinking about it, it was probably impossible to run to the household department so late, so in addition to the household department, there was only one place where Lu Xuan could go, and Lu Nanjun rushed over there without saying a word.
At that time, Lu Xuan had just explained to Shen Xixu all the reasons why he was dressed as a man.
Shen Xixu was originally arrogant, but as Lu Xuan's story became deeper and deeper, her emotions couldn't help but be affected by those experiences.
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, Shen Xiwei couldn't help but feel distressed for her.
"Lu Mou was an unintentional move, it was really not Lu's intention to hurt His Royal Highness the County Lord, if His Royal Highness the County Lord could not forgive Lu, he would have nothing to say about how to punish Lu, but please don't embarrass yourself anymore."
Lu Xuan sincerely apologized to Shen Xixu.
Shen Xixu had already forgiven the other party in his heart, and hurriedly took Lu Xuan's hand, but at this time, it was completely different from the last time she expressed her heart to Lu Xuan, but it was more like a sympathy between good sisters.
Lu Xuan was stunned by Shen Xixu's sudden move, and it took a long time to hear her speak: "I didn't know that you had to suffer so much as a woman, compared to you, my life is too peaceful." β
Shen Xixu is empathetic and reasonable, Lu Xuan has known about this matter since she first met her, but she never thought that she could win him so understanding just by retelling the whole story.
"Your Royal Highness the County Lord, this is ...... Don't blame Lu? Lu Xuan asked tentatively.
Shen Xixu hurriedly shook his head, with a touching smile on his face: "No wonder, I know that you are not easy, you are obviously a woman, but you were forced to be pushed out by the family to be the eldest son, it must be very difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility." β
Lu Xuan has never really responded to anyone with this sentence.
Because it was Cui Shi who usually asked Lu Xuan this sentence, in order not to worry her, Lu Xuan usually endured the fragility in her heart and responded firmly, "Auntie, I'm fine, these are nothing." β
But at this moment, facing the only woman other than the Cui family who could understand him, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh: "My fate has been set from the moment I was born, and it is not something that I can easily change. β
Also, Lu Xuan has been designated as the eldest son of the Lu family since he was born, and he also specially found a high-ranking person in the middle of the court to guaranture.
She has always grown up in the Lu Mansion as a man, and when she is sensible, she is already far away from those women's things.
Seeing the sadness in Lu Xuan's eyebrows, Shen Xixu was even more distressed: "But isn't your Lu family's branch already having the upper hand now?" Why don't you take this opportunity to restore yourself as a daughter? β
Lu Xuan shook his head helplessly when he heard this: "It would be good if it was so easy, now that I have entered the court as an official, then concealing a woman's body is a crime of deceiving the king, once this point is caught by the Shu Branch, I am afraid that the entire Yan Branch will die without a place to bury." β
In this way, it is no wonder that even Gu Huanli, who has always had great powers, is desperately covering for Lu Xuan, it seems that Shen Xixu's idea is still too naΓ―ve.
