There was still a trace of blood-red light in the sky, and the streets were lit up with red lanterns left over from the emperor's wedding.

The night market is ready to open, but there are not too many pedestrians on the streets.

Qiu Hao came out of Miyagi on horseback, and his mind was full of thoughts about what had just happened.

It is good to be promoted in a dignified manner with the imperial examination, but it has been too long, Sister Ah is about to give birth to a child, and she needs more help besides His Majesty, so be it, go directly to the court as an official.

You can say whatever others like, but what about nepotism? Anyway, he is the queen's brother, and this can't be changed.

Someone shouted from afar: "Brother Qiu! ”

The voice was crisp and delicate, it was a young woman's voice, but it was still a little sad.

Qiu Yuan looked up and saw a thinly dressed young man standing on the corner of the street not far away, half of his body was hidden in the shadows, half of his face was bright, looking at him anxiously but worriedly, as if it was Lu Huanting.

Seeing Qiu Yuan looking over here, Lu Huanting's eyes lit up, her plain white face instantly shone brightly, and she hurriedly walked out a few steps, but she remembered something and took a step back timidly.

One of them frowned, and reminded Qiu Yuan in a low voice: "Master, the Lu family committed the crime of rebellion, the male was executed, and the female dependents were exiled, she is now a human criminal, and it stands to reason that she should be detained. It's better to pretend you didn't hear. ”

Men over the age of fifteen were sentenced to death, and men and female dependents under the age of fifteen were sentenced to exile of 3,000 li.

The wall is down and everyone is pushing, don't be too sad about Lu's life. In this case, Lu Huanting appeared here, and at such a delicate moment, she couldn't help but be guarded.

Qiu Hao agreed with one of the words, indifferently withdrew his gaze, and continued to walk forward.

The light in Lu Huanting's eyes dimmed instantly, biting her lip and watching him go away with tears.

Seeing that she was about to lose sight, she suddenly had great courage, tried her best to catch up, and shouted frantically to Qiu Yuan: "Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, you save me, please ......"

She was born very beautiful, she used to be an unattainable noblewoman, no matter how much others coveted her, they could only peek and steal, and no one dared to touch her; Now that she has become a prisoner, she has become a fragrant meat bun that anyone can pick.

Mrs. Lu Taishi and Lu Xinglu's wife committed suicide on the night of the incident, and the rest of the female dependents were originally to be locked up in prison and awaiting exile.

It was Lu Chun who pleaded with Zhong Weiwei and only circled the female relatives who did not participate in the rebellion, so that she was not imprisoned, otherwise she would have been defiled by countless people.

However, even so, it is difficult to prevent those who are in high power, the night before yesterday, she and a cousin went out to relieve themselves, and both sisters were covered by their mouths and noses and dragged to the dark to do insulting things.

She struggled desperately and managed to escape, but her cousin was insulted and committed suicide, and they didn't even know who did it.

She was so terrified that she wanted to die. It was her grandmother, the eighty-year-old Mrs. Lu, who bribed the guard's mother-in-law with a string of beads hidden close to her, which gave her this opportunity to escape.

She couldn't let go of this opportunity, this was her only chance to live, Lu Huanting pounced on it, hugged Qiu Yuan's legs, looked at him pleadingly, and whispered: "Please, save me, I don't want to be like my sister." ”

Under the dim light, she was like a jasmine flower about to wither, weak and miserable, but with a different kind of beauty.

Qiu Yuan's heart seemed to be pinched hard, but he still opened his eyes expressionlessly, not looking at Lu Huanting's eyes and face, but looking at her hand, and said coldly: "Let go, I don't know you." ”

Lu Huanting couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe that this was the autumn jacket who placed her in a sheltered corner, blocked the wind for her, and invited her to eat wontons.

She hugged his legs, her eyes were red, her nose was red, and she choked and said, "Please, please, I don't dare to expect anything, I just ask you to let me live innocently." ”

Qiu Yuan still stared at her hand with half-hung eyes—the hands that were once green and shiny, but now red and swollen, like frozen turnips, caused by frostbite and cracking after soaking in cold water for too long.

Lu Huanting saw that he was cold-hearted and indifferent, and the whole person was cold-hearted, she put away her crying and let go.

Noticing that Qiu Hao was staring at her hand, she suddenly felt ashamed, as if she had been stripped naked in front of people.

It is a shameful act to show weakness and cowardice in front of people who don't like you and despise and dislike you.

The Lu family has been calculating to harm the Qiu brothers and sisters, the two sides are enemies who are not in the same sky, and they would come to Qiu Yuan for help because of a bowl of wontons with coriander, which is so naïve and ridiculous that he can't be saved.

Lu Huanting hid her hand in the thin cyan sleeve, pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

She turned around and walked out into the street, slender but stubborn.

It's like the back of Sister Ah when she left Cangshan. Qiu Yuan retracted his gaze, pursed his lips, sat up straight, gently knocked the horse's belly, and continued to walk forward.

One of the others followed silently, and Qiu Qian said softly: "Arrange for someone to follow her quietly, see where she is going, and who will come to contact her." He paused and whispered, "Don't let anyone hurt her." ”

One of them knew that he quickly arranged for two old men to leave the team quietly, hide in the crowd, and quietly follow Lu Huanting.

On a small tea stall not far away, two young men turned their backs to pedestrians, covering their faces with tea bowls, and staring at the distant autumn with heavy eyes.

"It's a pity!" One of them said regretfully: "Didn't you say that this Lu Huanting has a leg with a weak chicken surnamed Qiu?" Why is he so indifferent? Just like that, even if it's me, it's very distressing to look at, and I just want to take it home and have a good time. ”

A hint of anger flashed in the eyes of the other square jaw, and he said impatiently: "How do I know? ”

The hooked nose looked at him twice, and laughed obscenely: "Since he doesn't want it, you just want it, haven't you thought about her for a long time?" In the past, there was no chance, but now there is such a good opportunity, how can you let it go? Spend a little money, make a little effort, and it's good to get into the house, and she can do whatever she wants, and she has to thank you. ”

Fang drank the tea soup in one gulp, and said coldly: "If Uncle knew that I had moved the bait, what do you think?" ”

The hooked nose was also a little scared, his eyes rolled, and he whispered to Fang Jin's ear: "You can push it all to Qiu Yuan......"
