Beitang Jinyu frowned, and a little displeasure flashed in his eyes: "Tell the green clothes and let them settle down." He said and waved his hand, and Mu Chen quietly retreated.

A few days ago, he sent the green clothes back to Beijing, just to let her keep an eye on the restless people in the harem.

In the Lu Mansion in Jiangnan, Xiao Chu sat in the hall, Mrs. Lu's eyes were red when she stood in front of him crying, and she said sadly: "General Xiao, Xue'er didn't even take a few steps out of the mansion gate, how could she provoke the enemy, she was frightened on this happy day, and she was sick when she came back." ”

Lu Wei sighed and said to Xiao Chu: "General Xiao, there is really no way to go down, Xue'er is the heart and soul of my wife and me, she has been weak since she was a child, and she is even more sick after this time, but the thief who made trouble still doesn't know where he is." ”

"Lord Lu, don't worry, I will definitely catch that assassin." Xiao Chu said seriously, seeing that Mrs. Lu was so sad, and asked, "Mrs. Lu, how is Miss Lu?" ”

"I have invited a lot of Lang Zhong to come and see, and they all said that they were frightened by heart palpitations and needed to be recuperated." Mrs. Lu said, thinking of Lu Xue's pale and weak appearance, she couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.

Suddenly, a cyan figure appeared, and walked towards the door in a hurry, Lu Wei saw that the figure was Lu Yao, and called in a deep voice: "Lu Yao, what are you doing?" ”

Lu Yao's body stiffened, turned to look at them, her apricot eyes were red, there was annoyance in her eyes, and after seeing Lu Wei, she lowered her eyes and saluted: "Father, I have something to do when I leave the house." ”

"You don't stay with your sister in the back garden, what are you going to do when you go out of the house? Do you want to add chaos to your home? Lu Wei frowned and said, this remark seemed to anger Lu Yao, she said angrily: "Father, my sister is sick, and the Xu family has no news at all, and no one visits Xu Changping has not said a word, my sister excused him and said that he was injured, but in my opinion, it is clearly ruthless, I have to ask for clarification." ”

"Bastard, if you go, you will be the one who lost the Lu Mansion, and your sister is still sick, do you still want to disobey her and annoy her?" Lu Wei slapped the table and said, "Don't go!" ”

Lu Yao's tears fell, and she said loudly: "Father, you don't understand your sister's mind at all, what frightened her was the assassin, but what made her sad was the ruthlessness of the Xu family. I'm going today! She wiped her tears and ran out of the house, Lu Wei's face was pale with endless anger, Xiao Chu got up when he saw this and said, "Lord Lu, don't be angry, I'll go over and take a look." ”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly nodded and said, "General Xiao, I have you to thank you, but don't let Yaoyao cause trouble." ”

Xiao Chu's figure quickly disappeared into the Lu Mansion, followed Lu Yao's footsteps, caught up with her on a small bridge, and blocked her way: "Miss Lu Er, please stop." ”

"What? You think I'm out for trouble, too? You also think I should sit idly by? Lu Yao said coldly, with stubbornness and anger on her immature face.

"I ......" Lu Yao paused for a moment and asked, "I just want to ask, what should happen to the marriage between Gongzi Xu and my sister?" ”

Mrs. Xu stroked the bead hairpin on her head with her hand, and said: "It stands to reason that your father should come to my house to mention this marriage, but since you are here, it is the same, and now the city is full of rumors that the eldest lady of the Lu family is an ominous person, there is a sign of Kefu, how dare I marry such a woman into the door?" ”

"What do you mean......" Lu Yao clenched her fists and asked again: "This marriage will not be concluded?" It remains to be seen why the Assassins committed the assassination, and why do you say she is a husband? ”

"My Xu family will talk to your father about this matter, and you, as the second lady of the Lu family, ignore it and show up to talk about this." Mrs. Xu's words were a little disgusting: "I heard that Miss Lu was frightened, bring me a word of concern, let's take care of your illness." ”

After saying that, Mrs. Xu turned around and went in, and said to the guard when she was about to open the door: "Next time, you should be alert, and know what to report and what not to report." ”

The guard nodded hurriedly, "Yes, ma'am." ”

"It's not uncommon for my sister to marry your Xu family, but why do you say she is unknown!"

The door of the Xu Mansion was closed heavily, and Lu Yao's tears in his eyes immediately fell, and he choked up in a low voice: "My sister is not unknown, she is so good, why do you say her!" ”

Xiao Chu walked up to her, handed her a handkerchief, and said, "Tears." ”

Lu Yao took the handkerchief and held it tightly in her hand, she raised her eyes to look at Xiao Chu and said, "General Xiao, why do they say that about my sister?" ”

"People are terrible, they can't be trusted, they don't understand, just understand it yourself." Xiao Chu said, but this gossip is strange, and it is by no means accidental.

Lu Yao lowered her eyes and nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Then what should my sister do?" How important fame is to a woman......"

"Don't worry, when the assassin is found out, the truth will be revealed for a long time, as for those nonsense, don't let your sister know." Xiao Chu said, he knew how terrible the rumors were, when Gao Weihu was the queen, she was deeply persecuted, she was obviously a person who did nothing wrong, but she became an unbearable queen in the eyes of the world.

Those things are far away now, but in Gao Weihu's heart, I'm afraid there are still some shadows.

Lu Yao nodded, slowly turned around and walked towards the Lu Mansion, Xiao Chu followed her quietly, without saying a word.

When he walked to the long street, he looked at Lu Yao and lowered his voice to discuss.

"Isn't this the second miss of the Lu family? Where did she come from? ”

"I just saw her hurrying towards the other side of the bridge, didn't she go to Xu's house?"

"I think nine times out of ten, her sister has gone crazy, and no one from the Xu family has visited? It seems that this family affair ......"

"That's it, the Xu family is the richest man in the city, how could they marry an ominous woman to enter the door? Just that Xu Gongzi blocked the sword for Miss Lu and was injured, Mrs. Xu felt sorry for her son, how could she still tolerate her......"

Mrs. Lu Fu was comforting Lu Xue, her eyes were already red, she reached out to hold Lu Xue's hand and said, "Xue'er, you have suffered." ”

"Mother, it's her daughter who is unfilial, and she shames my Lu Mansion in vain." Lu Xue lowered her eyes and said, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye and sank into her moon-white clothes.

"Xue'er, you don't have to blame yourself, the most important thing is your body." Mrs. Lu's eyes were full of distress, Lu Xue was a lot haggard after this incident, and her face was very pale.

Lu Xue pursed her lips and nodded, and heard Mrs. Lu say again: "Tomorrow, your father will go to withdraw from the marriage." ”

"What?" Lu Xue opened her eyes slightly in surprise, the tears on her face were clearly visible, and Mrs. Lu said helplessly: "Xue'er, this can only be the case now, if you wait for the Xu Mansion to come and withdraw from the marriage, you will become a laughing stock in everyone's mouths, and your reputation will really be ruined, my father and I can't watch you like this." ”

"Mother, but...... We're obviously in love with each other. Lu Xue's eyes were red, and when she thought of Xu Changping, she felt a sullen pain in her heart, which made her speechless, how could Mrs. Lu not understand Lu Xue's grief, but she had come to this point, and there was no better choice.

Five days have passed since the wedding day, and there is no news from the Xu family, but their Lu Mansion eagerly sent someone to comfort the son of the Xu family, and he was touched by a gray nose, Mrs. Xu's attitude was cold and tough, and everything was already clear.

"Child, if Xu Changping really has affection for you, there will be no movement in the past five days." Mrs. Lu knew that these words were cruel, but she had to say it, but Lu Xue shook her head and said: "Mother, it's not like this, he blocked a sword that day, he blocked a sword for me that day......"

Lu Xue said with a little excitement, and suddenly coughed violently, she hurriedly took a handkerchief to cover it, Mrs. Lu was shocked and hurriedly patted her back and said, "Xue'er, what's wrong with you?" Cher......"

Mrs. Lu's voice stopped abruptly, she saw Lu Xue slowly take away the handkerchief, it was blood-colored, red and dazzling, Lu Xue held the handkerchief tightly and smiled weakly, Mrs. Lu helped Lu Xue to sit down on the side, and said to Lu Yao anxiously: "Go and call the doctor, go and ...... quickly"

Lu Yao recovered from the panic, stumbled out of the door, almost fell off the steps, and soon called the doctor, and when he checked Lu Xue's pulse, his face was solemn, and everyone was hanging.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with Cher?" Lu Wei hurried back to the house after hearing the news, her eyes were full of anxiety, Mrs. Lu should go up and wipe her tears and said, "Master, Xue'er just coughed up blood." ”

"Doctor, how's it going?" Lu Wei asked, and the doctor groaned and said, "Miss Lu is sad in her heart, and her emotional instability leads to a rush of anger, and she needs to take care of her body and recuperate quietly these days." The doctor wrote the prescription and handed it to Mrs. Lu.

After Na Langzhong left, Lu Wei and Mrs. Lu walked outside the door and asked in a deep voice, "Madam, why did Xue'er cough up blood all of a sudden?" ”

"Just now, I told her to quit the marriage for a while, and she was emotionally unstable for a while." Mrs. Lu said that tears fell again, and said: "She thinks of that Xu Gongzi in her heart, and she feels guilty that he blocked the sword for herself, and now she can't get married, which is naturally sad." ”

Lu Wei also has helplessness between his eyebrows, he has loved this daughter since she was a child, and he is reluctant to let her suffer a little, but now that such a thing falls on her, they can't do anything for their parents.

"I'll go to get out of the marriage early tomorrow morning, let her die early, there are countless good men in the world, and it's not the Xu family." Lu Wei sighed as he spoke, and walked towards the front hall.

"Sister, I'm tired and want to take a break." Lu Xue was full of tiredness, slowly closed her eyes, and there were hot tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Investigating the case?" Xiao Chu didn't expect her to say this, and she was a little puzzled for a while: "This investigation is a matter of the government, you ......" Lu Yao interrupted his words and said hurriedly: "I just thought about it, as long as I find those people in black as soon as possible, I can wash away those rumors for my sister, maybe ...... Maybe the marriage can happen again. ”

She said the last sentence, obviously a little lacking in confidence.

"I know that you are anxious to clear your sister's innocence, but you are more than willing to investigate the case, and if you don't say it, you will help, wouldn't it hurt your sister." Xiao Chu said, Lu Yao hurriedly shook his head and said seriously: "I will definitely be able to help, I can do anything, as long as I can help my sister, I am willing to say anything......

Xiao Chu looked at her anxious appearance, and suddenly sighed in his heart, a figure flashed in his eyes, and he muttered: "There is still a clue about the assassination, and now you need to do it...... It's another thing. ”
