"Cheng Mo!"

The time was just right, Lu Weimang and Xiao Jin returned to the Lu Mansion, and happened to meet Cheng Mo at the gate of the Lu Mansion after finishing his errands.

Xiao Jin and Cheng Mo made eye contacts, and Cheng Mo also felt that the atmosphere of the group opposite was not right, so he pulled Xiao Jin over and prepared to leave.

"Don't leave yet, you came to Lu Mansion a few days ago, I always go to the government, and I don't have a chance to talk more, today is a rare opportunity, let's talk."

After speaking, Lu Weimang took the lead in the first house.

Steward Lu, who hurried to the gate of the mansion, didn't know why, so he only stood at the gate and beckoned everyone to enter the mansion.

The group took a seat in the lobby of the Lu Mansion, Lu Weimang sat on the left side, Huo Jing sat next to her, and Lin Chen followed his young master and stood behind Huo Jing.

Cheng Mo sat opposite Lu Weimang, followed by Xiao Jin.

The tea in Lu's house is still the Mengding tea sent from Qionglai, Lu Weimang drank the tea slowly, and everyone in the lobby didn't say a word.

"Butler, let the subordinates stay away, and we will talk in the hall."

"Yes, miss."

The butler was ordered to go, dispersed the crowd, and himself stood guard not far from the entrance of the lobby.

Lu Weimang took the lead in looking at Huo Jing, "Before you want to tell me what you're doing, don't explain to me one trivial thing at a time, I don't want to hear it." ”

When Huo Jing heard this, he just drank tea and thought about it, but Lin Chen looked at the two Cheng Mo brothers and sisters on the side.

"Weimang, let's leave today, and we'll talk about it another day." Cheng Mo stood up with interest, and Xiao Jin also stood up.

Lu Weimang waved his hand, "No, you sit down, it's not a big deal." ”

The two sat down again in the stiff atmosphere of the hall and looked at each other with unease in their eyes.

Although they are together with Lu Weimang, they can selectively ignore Lu Weimang's official body. That's because they feel that there is a previous friendship between the two parties, and Lu Weimang has always been an informal person.

But now there is a powerful Huo Hou here, and it is an existence that can make people wipe out their families with a wave of their hands.

The faces of the two couldn't help but stiffen a little at this time.

"Cheng Mo, I have always treated you as my own, the matter of the sugar workshop has passed in the past, and I don't want to mention it again. I've always had a clear grudge, and I don't rub sand in my eyes. What you want to do, you can tell me clearly, as for other cover-up, shadowy means, although I didn't want to think about it at the time, but my patience is limited. ”

Cheng Mo heard this, his face turned pale, but Xiao Jin couldn't sit still, "Sister Weimang, did I do something bad and misunderstood something?" ”

"Don't interject."

Lu Weimang said directly.

Xiao Jin's big apricot eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't fall away, looking extremely pitiful. It's a pity that no one in this hall appreciates it.

Lu Weimang only looked at Cheng Mo, Cheng Mo was holding tea at this time and didn't move for a long time.

"Your current status, you can help me at your fingertips. I didn't ask you to do anything, did I? ”

Xiao Jin seemed a little surprised when he heard his brother say this, and quickly wiped away his tears with his cuffs, "Sister Weimang, why are you forcing your brother to say this?" The friendship we have had together since childhood..."

"Xiao Jin, don't say it." Cheng Mo drank to stop Xiao Jin. "If I could, I wouldn't be cheeky enough to come back to you. But now in the Cheng family, the uncle in charge of the family is an official and cherishes his reputation, just some money is not enough, if there are not enough interests to impress him, he will not correct the name of my parents and deal with the culprit who killed my parents in the first place. ”

"So, if you are embarrassed yourself, let Xiaojin come forward and contact the Lu Mansion and even Huo Hou for you, so that the Cheng family will be jealous of you, so as to conform to your wishes?"

Cheng Mo smiled bitterly, "You have always been sensitive, but you don't want to tear your face." Unexpectedly, after coming to Kyoto for a few years, you have more confidence in speaking and doing things, and you are not afraid of tearing the disguise in person. ”

Lu Weimang only shook his head, "You don't have to accuse me secretly, my confidence not only comes from the Lu family, but also from myself." It's not so much hatred that blinds you, it's that your desires are inflated. You are unwilling to just avenge your parents, you still want to replace your enemy's position in the Cheng family, and even do you think that I Lu Weimang, how can I be an official, maybe you are better than me. ”

"I didn't..."

"You have. From the day I saw you on the Shangsi Festival, I knew you did. Every word you say is a reflection of your heart. You think you're hiding a lot, but your thoughts are visible to others. If you really don't, the first thing you say when you see me is to apologize, not to talk to me with a comfortable look. Time has gone by and taken away your guilt, and the fact that I'm doing so well now also makes you feel more at ease, right? I responded to your reminiscences and made you feel that I would not care about your mistakes and understand your difficulties as I did back then, so you even came to test me, used me, and tested my bottom line step by step. Maybe I was cold to you at the beginning and ignored your reminiscences, and you would confess your mistakes and apologize to me as soon as possible. But these days, my tolerance has made you gain an inch, and if I talk about it now, you will even blame me. If I let you test me further, maybe in the end, you will even feel that I owe you, and I should not only be used by you, but even use the connections around me to help you with all my might, right? Maybe in the end, not only will you take revenge and replace your uncle as the head of the Cheng family, but you will even ask me to help you become an official in the court, right? What's next..."

"Nope!" Cheng Mo's face turned pale, he lowered his head and didn't say a word, but Xiao Jin couldn't help but jump out and interrupt Lu Weimang, "Even if my brother is wrong, it's just that I can't bear our original feelings, the assumptions you said are all your assumptions, you can't wronged your brother because of your own assumptions." ”

Xiao Jin clenched his fists and spoke for his brother with righteous indignation.

Lu Weimang turned his face, glanced at Xiao Jin, and then looked at Cheng Mo, "Look at yourself, what have you done all these years?" What have you become of Kim? ”

Cheng Mo looked at Xiao Jin in a daze, and Xiao Jin smiled back at his brother, "Brother, don't be afraid." These are all Sister Weimang's conjectures, and you haven't done that yet. Huo Hou, what do you say, there is no suspicion of guilt, not to mention that these are all the words of Sister Weimang. Brother just wants revenge day and night, and he's just in a hurry to get a little bit of success, right? ”

Xiao Jin's tearful apricot eyes looked at Huo Jing, but Huo Jing didn't seem to hear it, he was thinking about Lu Weimang's words.

Lu Weimang didn't go to watch Xiao Jin's performance, but only looked at Cheng Mo in front of him, "The worries of those who are not satisfied will be puzzled for life." I don't want my old man to become a villain who has spent his life in camps. A gentleman is frank and does whatever he wants. Even if you say nakedly, I want to be an official and want power, I will not look down on you. It's not that you even lie to yourself, saying that you are just avenging your parents. It's really just revenge, and there are a hundred ways to use it. You don't have to be like you, timid, and leave room for it, so that you will only be seized by the enemy. ”

Cheng Mo seemed to be stunned, and then lost, "I have never had the courage to break the kettle like you." ”

"You have, as long as you figure out what you really want and what you're afraid of losing." Lu Weimang faced his own people and spoke sharply. When you don't want to go around in circles, you won't leave room for talking.

"I'll think about it." After Cheng Mo finished speaking, he got up in despair and pulled Xiao Jin out. "Brother, you're just leaving? You make it clear to Sister Weimang, you are not as despicable as she said, Sister Weimang, my brother is a good person, and Huo Hou, my brother is the best brother in the world! ”

No one accosted him, so Xiao Jin was pulled out of the Lu Mansion by his brother Cheng Mo.

In the lobby, the two members of the Cheng family were missing, and the atmosphere became more and more somber. Lin Chen couldn't stand it a little, and couldn't help but want to open his mouth to explain today's events, but was stopped by Lu Weimang's eyes.

"You go down first."

Huo Jing's deep voice sounded, and Lin Chen walked out of the door to be accompanied by Steward Lu.

"Lu Weimang, you are always so dust-free in your eyes, and you leave no room for words and deeds. As everyone knows, such wanton is easy to be hated. ”

Huo Jing is a lesson again, as if he first saw Lu Weimang when he returned to Kyoto.

Lu Weimang laughed at himself, "They are none other than my short-lived family." If only I could treat them as ordinary people, it means that I am really at the moment. I thought I'd just be patient and stay away. But I overestimated my endurance, and I couldn't stand this grievance when I watched them behave in front of me and fool me like a fool. ”

Lu Weimang looked at Huo Jing in front of him, "Unless you want to tell me all about your purpose and methods, don't explain your superficial actions to me." I can understand for a while, but if I explain too much, my patience will run out. ”

Looking at Lu Weimang's firm eyes, Huo Jing smiled bitterly, stood up and walked to Lu Weimang's side, raised his hand, and touched Lu Weimang's head, "You are so sensitive, what can you do in the future?" Isn't it hard to have so many different people in this world? ”

Lu Weimang's eyes were sour, "No way, born." ”

"You say, should I keep it and make you uncomfortable for a few days?"

Huo Jing looked at the face and finished talking to Cheng Mo, and the sad but stubborn little girl said.

How can you not be sad? After all, it was the one who saved her life when she was most helpless. How can you not be wronged? Treated like a fool by someone who is cherished like a family member. is so stubborn, it is clear that he is the one who was hurt, but the tough showdown makes those two people hurt themselves as if they are helpless, and Lu Weimang is aggressive.

"I'm not uncomfortable."

Lu Weimang told the truth.

Huo Jing couldn't help pinching Lu Weimang's fleshy cheeks, "You just deal with others calmly, I'm your fiancé, what's the matter if you jump to your feet and question me at this moment." ”

Lu Weimang shook his head, "I can tell Cheng Mo, but I can't ask why he treats him like this." I'm such a bottomless coward. ”

"What about me? Can't you ask? ”

"I know you have a reason and a hard time."

"Cheng Mo also has a hard time, right? So you don't want to hear explanations, you want to hear bitterness, right? You don't show weakness to me, but you want me to take the initiative to tell you your bitterness, is this also another kind of confidence? ”

Lu Weimang's face flushed, and when Huo Jing said this, he was a little willful.

"Do you say that?"

Huo Jing," he said. ”
