Chapter 216: Joining Forces to Destroy the Concubine
"A-Niang, Nan-jun, I'm back." Lu Xuan deliberately put on a cheerful appearance and rushed towards the hall.
Thinking that Lu Qingmeng didn't go out of the door, she should not have received the news yet, so Lu Xuan's sudden return this time might be a surprise for her.
Sure enough, at this time, Lu Qingmeng was standing beside Cui Shi holding a cup of tea for her, and as soon as she heard Lu Xuan's voice, half of the tea in the teacup was almost spilled.
Cui's and Lu Nanjun were focused on Lu Xuan, and they didn't care too much about Lu Qingmeng's reaction, but Lu Xuan saw it clearly.
"Brother, where have you been? No matter how you say hello, you just leave, and the household department said that you will be sent to deal with urgent cases, and I am still worried that you are in danger. Lu Nanjun rushed up and looked Lu Xuan up and down as he spoke, for fear that she would be hurt a little.
Lu Xuan smiled indifferently, shook his head, deliberately raised his voice and said to Lu Qingmeng: "I was just ordered by the eldest princess to go to the eastern suburbs to find the lost county lord of Pingchuan. ”
When she said this, Lu Xuan specially paid attention to Lu Qingmeng's expression with her peripheral vision, only to see a trace of expected doubt and surprise on her face.
She probably never thought that Lu Xuan would not only be able to come back safely, but also have a relationship with the eldest princess.
However, the matter has come to this point, and when the situation is not clear, Lu Qingmeng does not dare to act rashly, so he can only stand aside obediently and continue to listen to what Lu Xuan says.
But if you tell her everything, won't there be no good show to watch?
Lu Xuan said to Lu Nanjun simply: "There were indeed some misunderstandings on the way, and I was almost arrested by His Royal Highness King Chang as a traitor, but fortunately, the eldest princess came forward to explain for me, and now the truth has been revealed." ”
Lu Xuan deliberately mentioned King Chang, and what truth was revealed, Lu Qingmeng was terrified in her heart: What did she mean by this? Could it be that what His Royal Highness King Chang has done has been discovered by His Majesty? Did he confess to me?
Lu Qingmeng was secretly speculating, but Lu Xuan suddenly walked towards her: "Qingmeng, I'm not here these days, thanks to you for taking care of Ah Niang and Nanjun." ”
Seeing Lu Xuan and Lu Qingmeng's rare and harmonious appearance, Cui's heart didn't mention how relieved he was, but Lu Nanjun, who knew everything, didn't think so, but rolled his eyes here:
"She takes care of us, and she doesn't think about how to kill us."
Lu Nanjun muttered in a low voice, and the Cui clan standing beside him didn't say anything, but Lu Xuan turned his head and scolded him:
"Nanjun, how can you speak! Isn't Qingmeng already reformed, why do you keep holding on to the previous things? ”
After reprimanding Lu Nanjun, Lu Xuan looked at Lu Qingmeng with a meaningful smile: "Nanjun is not sensible, don't take it to heart." ”
Lu Nanjun couldn't understand Lu Xuan's routine more and more, but he didn't dare to ask more questions in front of Lu Qingmeng, so he could only forcibly swallow this evil breath.
Lu Qingmeng was even more confused: Why did she suddenly treat me so well, didn't His Royal Highness King Chang confess to me?
Lu Qingmeng was thinking like this, but Lu Xuan directly discussed with Lu Nanjun in front of her about being framed.
"Nanjun, have you ever mentioned my whereabouts to others outside?" Lu Xuan asked knowingly.
Lu Nanjun looked innocent: "I don't even know your whereabouts, how can I mention it to others?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's face suddenly showed a hint of suspicion: "This is strange, it is rumored in the court that the reason why His Royal Highness King Chang will suspect me is because he got a message from the Lu family, but no one in this mansion will go out except you." ”
Lu Xuan deliberately said this, and Lu Nanjun immediately shouted injustice: "Brother, you are my own brother, how can you suspect me of harming you?" ”
"Oh, what are you talking about? I didn't say that I was suspicious of you, I was just curious about how the so-called Lu family knew that even you didn't know my whereabouts. Lu Xuan glanced at Lu Qingmeng intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Qingmeng's heart suddenly tightened, and he didn't want to blame others without thinking about it-"Isn't it that Shu Zhi is secretly spying on his brother?" ”
After speaking, before Lu Xuan could say anything, Cui Shi stepped forward to echo and agree:
"Yes, they came to the mansion to find trouble with Qingmeng before, but I think it's just out of nowhere, and their real purpose is still to come at you, Ah Xuan."
Lu Xuan originally wanted to see Lu Qingmeng's reaction, and she didn't mean to directly expose her, but since she threw the black pot to the Shu branch without saying anything, it was not a day or two for her to want to eradicate the Shu branch.
At present, Lu Xuan's identity is known by more and more people, although they are all credible people, but now that they are being stared at by so many people, it is difficult to guarantee that this matter will not become a handle to defeat the Yan branch again.
Lu Qingmeng colluded with Li Ce at this time, and already had contact with King Chang, if he wanted to eradicate her, he might not be able to do it immediately, but Shu Zhi was different.
Since Da Lu Xuan became an official, he has been protected by Gu Huanli, and he has become acquainted with Shen Xixu, and now he has become a great benefactor of the eldest princess's mansion because of finding and escorting Shen Xixu back to Beijing.
Judging from the consistent style of Lu Xilong's family of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, now that Lu Xuan is already a world apart from their forces, it is better to take this opportunity to defeat them in one fell swoop.
As for Lu Qingmeng, although she also has ill intentions towards the Lu family, looking at her attitude towards the Shu Branch, Lu Xuan may not be able to cooperate with her this time, borrowing her scheming to eradicate the Shu Branch, which can be regarded as sweeping away a big trouble for herself.
In this way, maybe Lu Qingmeng's vigilance against herself can be gradually relaxed, and it will also be beneficial to fight against her in the future.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Xuan didn't even go to check it, and directly followed Lu Qingmeng's words and suspected all the things he had been framed on Shu Zhi.
I saw Lu Xuan angrily slapping the case, with an angry face: "Damn! I thought that after the previous rounds of punishment, they had learned their lesson, and they were so unrepentant that they didn't want to make it. ”
Seeing that Lu Xuan believed her words, Lu Qingmeng couldn't help but have a smug smile on her face, but in order to avoid being noticed, she quickly restrained herself.
After pondering for a while, Lu Qingmeng walked over to Lu Xuan's side: "Brother, don't be too angry and angry with yourself, in fact, since Qingmeng came back, there has always been a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"If you have something to say, it's all family, and there's nothing to talk about." Cui's encouragement, Lu Qingmeng then spoke: "Actually, Lu Jiaojiao brought her uncle and them over last time, not for Qingmeng at all, but to give my brother a dismount." ”
Obviously, Lu Qingmeng is doing what he is best at sowing discord again, but this time it is in Lu Xuan's hands.
Lu Xuan didn't refute it at all, but followed her words: "I can feel it without you saying this, if they really come at you, why do they come to the door as soon as you return to Lu's house?" ”
Lu Xuan racked her brains to come up with a defense for Lu Qingmeng, and she almost believed herself.
Seeing Lu Xuan facing him like this, Lu Qingmeng was even more unrestrained, and praised her: "It turns out that my brother found out early in the morning, and my brother is really wise." ”
Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to Lu Qingmeng's appreciation, only secretly clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this branch can't be removed." ”
That night in Changwang's Mansion, Lu Qingmeng was caught off guard and sued Lu Jiaojiao, at that time she was just thinking of eradicating the branch of the family, and originally thought that after returning home, she would lobby the branch well, but she didn't think that Lu Xuan would take the initiative to help her.
Seeing that Lu Xuan mentioned that he wanted to attack the Shu Branch, Lu Nanjun was already gearing up and couldn't wait, but the Cui family, who was bullied the most by the Shu Branch, hesitated.
"Ah Xuan, our Yanzhi has been suppressed by them for too long, but you really made up your mind when you said that you want to deal with them?" Cui Shi asked Lu Xuan tentatively.
Lu Xuan didn't have to think about it to guess that Cui's was just worried about her safety, in fact, she hoped that Lu Xilong and the others would be sanctioned as soon as possible more than anyone else.
"A-Niang, don't worry, I am the eldest son of the Lu family, I have grown up, and I am no longer the child who is casually bullied." Lu Xuan comforted Cui's family, but the eldest son couldn't help but tingle her heart.
Lu Xuan is a daughter's family, these things were not supposed to be undertaken by her, but now they are all pressed on her thin shoulders.
A burst of guilt surged up in Cui's heart, but Lu Xuan still had a bright smile on his face.
Seeing that she has indeed made achievements in the officialdom now, and Gu Huanli always helps her in times of crisis, Cui reluctantly agreed: "That's it, you grow up, just do everything as you like." ”
The family finalized the matter, and before Lu Xuan could carefully come up with a plan to deal with the concubine, they took the initiative to come to the door.
I saw that it was still Lu Jiaojiao who was walking in the front, she looked menacing, and the wind was blowing up the broken hair on her forehead, and the scar on her side that was originally covered was also revealed.
That scar was caused by Lu Xuan's bullying in the face of the concubine when she just returned from rebirth, and pushed Lu Jiaojiao down in anger.
Lu Jiaojiao was still thinking about serving King Chang before, judging from his lustful and ugly personality, her appearance at this time is not to say that she is crawling on someone's bed, and people may not even let her enter the door again.
"Lu Qingmeng, come over to me!" Lu Jiaojiao came violently, but it was for Lu Qingmeng.
I really don't know what kind of grudge there is between the two of them, they were sisters before, and they will shout and kill when they meet at this time.
However, since it has just been decided to deal with the Shu branch first, then Lu Qingmeng, who can play a role in this matter, should be the key object of Lu Xuan's protection at the moment.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan rushed up and stopped Lu Jiaojiao without saying a word: "What do you want?" ”
