The cool west wind cuts the slanting sun, cuts a few wisps of autumn light, reflects the chrysanthemum shadow of the green window, is slightly cold and fragrant, and the scenery in the fairy garden is quiet.

With thin eyebrows, full of sadness, teary eyes and broken bowels, Ah Pian is no longer a calm and cautious white thrush patriarch at this time, but a young daughter-in-law of a wealthy family who is entangled and confused.

It is difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, Ah Pian was once a powerful official in Qingqiu State, how many complicated and important matters have he handled? But in the face of his own troubles, he is really at a loss.

Lu Huanbang and Lu Kaizun's father and son have been at odds for a long time, in the past two months, Lu Huanbang accepted Gan Ruju, and Lu Kaizun took A Pian back to Beijing, the contradiction became even deeper.

Gan Ruju, who was an aunt, and A Pian, who was a daughter-in-law, also had a conflict because of the conflict between father and son.

Gan Ruju laughed at Ah Pian for living in Lu Mansion without a name and no share, but it was not that Lu Kaizun was unwilling to give Ah Pian a name, it was that Lu Huanbang did not allow him to marry A Pian.

can endure it again and again, and provoke again and again, Ah Pian turned around and ridiculed Gan Ruju as just a plaything in the hands of a man.

Gan Ruju cried in front of Lu Huanbang about these things, adding fuel and vinegar to say bad things about A Pian, and Lu Huanbang did not allow his son to marry A Pian.

couldn't stand these wretchedness, Ah Pian proposed to leave, but Lu Kaizun was reluctant to go, he was not reluctant to be prosperous and rich, but he noticed that Gan Ruju was deliberately rectifying the Lu family, and wanted to wake up his father and try to drive Gan Ruju away.

In this way, there are more contradictions, and because of Ah Pian's identity as a white thrush demon, after a lot of inexplicable things, even the servants think that Ah Pian has confused the eldest son, is not filial to his father-in-law, and bullies his aunt.

Those things are all bits and pieces, but they all point to Ah Pian in one place, for example: more than a month ago, Gan Ruju went out of the city to pray for blessings in the Pufu Temple, passing through a small forest on the way, and was chased and pecked by thrushes, sparrows, turtledoves and other birds, pecking at several bloody marks on her face and hands.

When she came back, she hid in the room and cried, pretending to be pitiful, and the maid who went with her complained to Lu Huanbang, intentionally or unintentionally alluding to the witchcraft of Ah Pian.

Seeing Gan Ruju crying into tears, Lu Huanbang was very distressed and questioned Ah Pian.

Ah Pian denied it, and Lu Kaizun also said that Gan Ruju was so annoying that even the birds couldn't get used to her, so they hated her.

Soon after, Gan Ruju's room was crawling with caterpillars again, so frightened that she screamed and ran out, spraining her foot in a panic.

The people in the house talked a lot, speculating randomly whether it was a worm that Ah Pian had made with a spell. This time, Gan Ruju didn't cry, and asked her subordinates not to talk nonsense, looking like she swallowed her anger for the sake of family harmony.

She didn't say anything about the caterpillar, only said that she accidentally fell and injured herself, but her maid was upset for her and went to quarrel with Ah Pian angrily, Lu Huanbang still knew about it, and was sure that Ah Pian was funny.

Gan Ruju sprained her foot, and Lu Huanbang allowed her not to eat in the dining room, and asked the maid to send her to the small hall where she was hospitalized, so that she would not be detrimental to recuperation when she walked around.

After a few days, the delicacies sent by the maid were covered with bird droppings, and the nausea was so disgusting that Gan Ruju vomited several times. But the maid brought another meal, and when she was about to reach the door of the small hall, bird droppings fell on the meal from the air.

These things, both openly and secretly, all point to Ah Pian being tricky and sweet as a chrysanthemum, but Hu Xianxian knows Ah Pian's personality, she will not do and disdain to do such dirty little things!

If Ah Pian doesn't care about Lu Kaizun's feelings, regardless of whether the Lu family is harmonious or not, she can turn Gan Ruju into a puppet at her mercy, how can it be necessary to play such a shameless little trick?

As for the things that Gan Ruju encountered, it is not strange to say that she was sent to Lu Huanbang by Gao Youquan, and it is too simple to arrange for a cultivator who knows magic to secretly play these little tricks.

Because Lu Kaizun insisted on defending Pian, Lu Huanbang didn't do anything to Pian, and when it happened, the servants saw that Pian helped Piaoman, and Lu Kaizun also let Pian and the other people who were arrested, which made Lu Huanbang very angry.

The reason why Lu Huanbang was so angry was not only that he fled, but also that all those who were arrested knew some secrets that he couldn't see, once those people went out, wouldn't it give political enemies a chance to seize his handle? But it was Lu Kaizun who did all this, how could his son do it against him?

For this reason, Lu Huanbang wanted to get rid of A Pian, Lu Kaizun said that he was black and white, and it was Gan Ruju who should be driven away, if A Pian left, he didn't recognize this father!

The relationship between father and son is like three feet of ice, Ah Pian is unwilling to embarrass Lu Kaizun, but Lu Kaizun noticed that she wanted to leave, and Lu Kaizun, who had had enough of the pain of missing, forced her to die and did not allow her to go.

In desperation, Ah Pian had to come to Hu Xianxian to find a way, and there was no one else in the capital who would help her.

Unexpectedly, letting Ah Pian secretly help Piaoman would aggravate the family conflict of the Lu family, and make Ah Pian's life situation so difficult, Hu Xianxian felt very sorry in his heart.

Regarding these things, Hu Xianxian saw very clearly, it must be Gan Ruju who wanted to set a trap to drive Lu Kaizun away from them, so that Lu Huanbang would be completely stunned and completely controlled by her.

But there are some things, Hu Xianxian can't talk too thoroughly, she thinks about it for a while, let Ah Pian rest in the fairy garden, and she goes to Lu Mansion for a trip.

When I arrived at the Lu Mansion, it was time to hold the lamp, and the last glow reflected the bright lights, and in the beautiful Chu Hong Garden, the father and son of the Lu family were arguing.

Chu Hongyuan, the courtyard where Lu Huanbang rewarded Gan Ruju to live, is the most beautifully repaired courtyard in Lu Fuzhong.

Hu Xianxian came to the gate of the Lu Mansion, handed over the name and politely asked for the communication, and the family guarding the door did not dare to slack off, so let people lead her all the way into the mansion.

She lied that Lu Huanbang invited her to the dinner, which was a family banquet of relatives and friends accompanied by Gan Ruju, which was set up in Chu Hong Garden, so the maid led her to the gate of the garden.

As soon as he entered the garden gate, he saw that only the housekeeper was waiting, and the other servants had retreated, and the father and son of the Lu family quarreled fiercely.

Gan Ruju shrunk behind the column head under the corridor, wearing a jade white embroidered green willow pattern brocade shirt, with a jade white Luo skirt, from a distance, it looks like a delicate and kind little jasper, and the vulgar woman who wore an emerald yellow dress and laughed with the drinker seems to be not the same person.

But Hu Xianxian could see through it, her appearance seemed to be flustered and scared, but she was secretly happy in her heart, but she just accidentally caught a glimpse of Hu Xianxian entering the door, and hurriedly squeezed out two tears, becoming innocent and pitiful

Lu Kaizun was shouting at Lu Huanbang: "No matter what, I'm going to have a wedding with Ah Pian!" ”

"What kind of wedding? What is she? It's a demon, a demon who can do magic! Let her in the door and don't drive her away, it's worthy of her, I'm used to you enough, don't add to the chaos. Lu Huanbang objected with a black face.

"You even want to give a name to Gan Ruju, why do you want to break up me and Ah Pian? You don't care about yourself, what right do you have to manage me? ”

Lu Huanbang was so choked by his son's words that he couldn't open his mouth for a long time, but fortunately let the idle people wait out, otherwise where should this face go?

Angry that his chest rose and fell violently, Lu Huanbang thought for a while before he said something to refute: "It is natural for Lao Tzu to take care of his son, and there has never been a son to take care of Lao Tzu!" If you dare to mess around again, I'll kick you out of the house! "

"I'm afraid that if I leave the house, this family will be broken up by you!" Lu Kaizun, who is usually gentle and elegant, is not respectful to his father at all.

Seeing that Lu Huanbang was about to get angry and raise his hand to hit Lu Kaizun, Gan Ruju ran out quickly, pretending to be a virtuous person: "Forget it, forget it, I can bear with those things, just drive the eldest prince out, how can outsiders think of the Lu family?" ”

Before Lu Huanbang and his son could answer, Hu Xianxian said with a long smile: "Yes, forget it!" Let her endure it...... That's it, if you drive out the eldest son of Lu, you have to let the world laugh at your Lu family! ”

There was obvious ridicule in her tone, and she looked at Gan Ruju with deep meaning, which embarrassed a thick-skinned person like Gan Ruju.

After listening to Hu Xianxian's words, Lu Huanbang's father and son noticed that there were outsiders, and they all looked at her embarrassedly, not knowing how to greet her for a while.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Poor Dao came to beg for dinner, can Lu Ge be willing to give alms? Hu Xianxian raised the dust and asked with a smile.

Lu Huanbang had a smile on his face: "What did Concubine Hu Tian say?" The immortal is coming, my humble room is shining, please come to the dining room to eat. ”

"I'm not hungry for the time being, let me talk to Ling Lang alone, how about it?" Hu Xianxian Zhengse said.

Lu Huanbang was a little displeased, and Gan Ruju was even more flustered, afraid that Hu Xianxian would give Lu Kaizun an idea.

Gan Ruju smiled flatteringly at Hu Xianxian and said: "I have heard that Hu Tianfei's appearance is captivating and her mana is strong, and she really deserves her reputation when I see it today." I wanted to toast to Concubine Hu Tian to show my admiration, so please go to the dining room to drink. ”

is obviously a person with a grudge, Gan Ruju can still pretend to be an admirer who has never met, Hu Xianxian has to admire her, no wonder Gao Youquan will pick her to charm Lu Huanbang, and she really has some ability.

Hu Xianxian didn't say anything about the past, lowered his eyes and said lightly: "Let's put it bluntly, the purpose of my coming here is just to persuade Grand Prince Lu and ask Elder Lu Ge to allow me to talk to Ling Lang alone." ”

"What to talk about alone? My son used to be a very deferential and reasonable person, but since he interacted with Cheng Haofeng's gang, he has become more and more disobedient! What else are you going to talk to him about? Instigating him to kill his father? ”

Lu Huanbang was so angry that he couldn't choose to speak, he could be calm and rational in the face of many things, but he couldn't be calm in the face of the dispute between father and son, and the pain of torn flesh and blood family affection couldn't stand it.

Hu Xianxian was not angry at his malicious speculation, but just said with a smile: "The first assistant of the dignified cabinet, do things calmly, is it good to have a little demeanor?" I promise to persuade your father and son, and I won't let others see your Lu family's jokes! Really, I don't thank you or say it, and I slander it. ”

Lu Huanbang looked at Hu Xianxian suspiciously, from the first time they met, this woman sneered at herself, and now she has really changed her sex, and she wants to persuade herself and her son?

Whether he believed it or not, whether he agreed or not, Hu Xianxian pointed to the gate of the garden and motioned for Lu Kaizun to go out first, and then she went out with her.

When he arrived at Lu Kaizun's study, Hu Xianxian explained his intentions: "Ah Pian has come to me, with your current situation, it is best to leave the capital and not have a head-on conflict with your father." ”

"I can leave the capital, but only if I get rid of Gan Ruju."

Hu Xianxian knew that Lu Kaizun attributed all the sources of contradictions to Gan Ruju, and said solemnly: "If you take away a Gan Ruju, there will be Gan Rulan, Gan Ruhua, Gan Rumei and so on. Could it be that the good time of your life is not to fulfill your own ambitions, but to purge your father of the flattering villains? ”

Lu Kaizun didn't know how to answer for a while, he also knew that there was no point in making trouble like this, but he was unwilling.

After a moment of silence, he said: "I don't want to watch my father slide step by step into the abyss of sin, as long as he drives away the villains around him, he is still a pillar of the country." Not only do I want to get rid of Gan Ruju, but I also want my father to stay away from all the treacherous people around me and get closer to the virtuous people. ”
