Yang Zhenlai came to the Marquis Mansion, Lin Ange, and sincerely invited Ling Yun to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department; Ling Yun then came to the front hall to ask for the advice of his mother, Princess Evergreen.

Princess Evergreen's wet misty eyes stared at Ling Yun's eyes without blinking, and said faintly: "If Lu Wenzheng wants you to continue to stay in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department and help him handle the case as before, will you agree?" ”

Ling Yun's face slowly sank, thousands of thoughts kept churning in his mind, he gently pursed the corners of his lips, and did not speak......

Ling Yun followed Yang Zhen to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.

After many years of parting, I revisited the old place, and I felt a lot of emotion.

Especially when Ling Yun passed by Bai Yunxuan, his original residence, looking at everything familiar in front of him, the past was vivid, as if it was yesterday, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the days of freedom and ease in the past.

Handle cases with the brothers in the house, drink together, play wantonly, and be unrestrained; Although there have been times when I was unhappy or turned my face, now that I think about it, I still haunt my heart more joy, sweetness and yearning......

Yang Zhen saw that Ling Yun was just stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ling Yun came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I remembered some things from the past, and I just felt a little emotional." ”

Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Ling is usually high-spirited and heroic, when did he become so sentimental?" Is it touching the scene? ”

Ling Yun didn't answer, but said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked around the hall and came to Lu Wenzheng's study.

Lu Wenzheng saw Ling Yun coming in, and hurriedly got up to greet him. Under the four eyes of each other, the eyes of the two were moist.

Ling Yun knocked on one knee, bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

Lu Wenzheng hurriedly supported him: "Zhichao, no, I should call you the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion now, don't be like this, and torture the mansion." ”

Ling Yun felt sad for a while, and said uneasily: "My lord, don't say that. In fact, Lingyun is still the same as before, Lingyun hopes that you can still call me by my name as before......"

Lu Wenzheng's voice trembled hoarsely: "Is it okay?" Zhichao......"

Ling Yun unconsciously covered a layer of mist in front of him, "Your Excellency, ......"

The two looked at each other for a long time, and they almost burst into tears.

Seeing this, Yang Zhen also felt that the corners of his eyes were damp. But soon he regained his senses and hurriedly said: "We haven't seen each other for many years, and we should be happy to meet again today, you see what you are doing now?" ……”

After being reminded by Yang Zhen, Lu Wenzheng came back to his senses, smiled lightly, and beckoned Ling Yun to sit down. Then he asked, "Zhichao, have you been doing well all these years?" ”

Thinking of the past, Ling Yun had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know where to start for a while, but nodded blankly, "It's okay...... What about you, my lord? ……”

Lu Wenzheng's face was gloomy, he sighed and lowered his head.

Ling Yun knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said, "My lord, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this. ”

Lu Wenzheng sighed and said, "No, you and I used to be confidants, and we have nothing to talk about, so what should we not say?" In fact, after so many years of suffering, the house has survived, are you still afraid to talk about and mention the past? ”

Ling Yun said: "My lord, don't say anything, in fact, Yang Zhen told me everything that happened in the past few years, and I can understand the adult's distress." ”

Lu Wenzheng hooked his lips and smiled, his smile was gloomy and desolate, "Really? …… Seriously, I'm really relieved now that I can finally find someone to confide in.

"I think back then, the government was ambitious and high-spirited, and with the assistance of Lu Fu Wuying, he handled the case vigorously and resolutely, handy, and how chic and majestic; But a few years later, the people in the house have either passed away or left, and now they are withered and desolate, where is the prosperity and prominence of the past?

"And as I get older, the energy of the house is not as good as before, and I feel more and more powerless to deal with the affairs of the house. Whenever I can't sleep in the dead of night, I only feel sad and melancholy when I think of the old scenes, and I really hope to go back to the old days......"

Ling Yun was stunned in his heart, bowed his head and said nothing.

Lu Wenzheng said again: "And for so many years, there are two knots in this house that have not been untied - Zhichao, do you know what it is?" ”

Ling Yun unconsciously raised his eyes and looked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lu Wenzheng said: "The first thing is Qiuyue's matter. ”

"Miss Lu? ……”

Lu Wenzheng nodded weakly, his face gloomy.

It turned out that five years ago, after Lu Qiuyue learned about Jiang Chun's death, she was in pain and wanted to die in front of Jiang Chun's tomb.

At that time, Ding Jiying brought Lu Qiuyue back to Ding's mansion in a hurry, and urgently ordered her family to find the most brilliant doctor in the capital to diagnose and treat her injuries.

After that, Lu Qiuyue lay on the sickbed for more than a month, but her expression was sluggish, she didn't say a word, and she didn't see anyone who came to visit, including Lu Wenzheng and his wife, his biological parents.

Later, Lu Qiuyue finally agreed to see Lu Wenzheng.

But after the father and daughter met, Lu Qiuyue's first words were: "Tell me, did you kill Jiang Chun?" ……”

Lu Wenzheng was stunned for a while, although he reasoned with the facts and painstakingly explained the ins and outs of the matter to his daughter, Lu Qiuyue never believed him.

Lu Qiuyue raised her face slightly, a little wet. Her eyes were blood-red, and a bleak smile spread across her lips, "Do you think I'll ever believe you again?" …… Lu Wenzheng, it was you who killed the person I loved the most in this life and ruined the happiness of my life, I hate you! ……

"From now on, I will cut off the father-daughter relationship with you, and you don't expect me to call you father again!"

Looking at his daughter's disheartened expression and listening to her daughter's desperate and ruthless words, Lu Wenzheng sat directly on the ground.

It was as if his heart had been hollowed out, and all thoughts had been lost; The whole heaven and earth seemed to lose their original color at that moment.

When Ling Yun heard this, he was also stunned for a while. After a long time, he came back to his senses and muttered, "How can this be? …… After so many years, hasn't Miss Lu's misunderstanding of adults been eliminated? ”

Lu Wenzheng shook his head with blank eyes, and said distractedly: "Maybe she won't forgive me in this life......"

Ling Yun felt as if his heart was being pinched by something, and he felt a burst of pain. He sighed, speechless.

Lu Wenzheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "In addition, there is a knot in the heart of this house, Zhichao, do you know what it is?" ”

Ling Yun's eyes were as dark as night, just looking at him.

Lu Wenzheng said in a deep voice: "That's your ......"

Ling Yun's eyes trembled violently, and he said in a voiced voice: "My lord, Ling Yun has done so many helpless things, although he couldn't help himself at that time, but after all, Ling Yun has deeply broken your heart, and even lived up to your expectations for this unsuccessful subordinate-now that I think about it, Ling Yun is really heartbroken......

"Zhichao, why do you belittle yourself so much? ......" Lu Wenzheng looked out of the window attentively, and said in a bitter voice: "Actually, now that I think about it, there are mistakes in this mansion!"

"This government should not only consider things from its own standpoint, and consider your feelings from your point of view at all, but just blindly and rudely ask you to do things you don't want to do......"

Ling Yun felt a pain in his heart, "My lord, don't say it anymore!" In fact, Ling Yun ......" Speaking of this, a touch of unspeakable emotion condensed in his sad eyes, and he sighed abruptly and stopped talking.

Lu Wenzheng tried to calm his somewhat out-of-control emotions, raised his head and sighed softly, "The past is over; Now that I think about it, it doesn't really matter whether it's right or wrong...... Zhichao, now I only hope that you and I can let go of the past grievances and start over. ”

Yang Zhenyi said: "Yes, Brother Ling, come back quickly." Do you know how much the younger brother and the brothers of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department have missed you for so many years? How much does the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department need you now?

"Let us stay in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department together as before, and happily help the adults deal with official affairs, handle cases, and relive those carefree and easy days in the past...... He raised his face, his eyes flashed with crystal stars, and his face was full of longing and yearning.

Looking at Lu Wenzheng and Yang Zhen's eager gazes, Ling Yun's heart churned. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his clear eyes were sparkling, as if flowing with a glorious warm jade in the cold sunlight of late autumn.

He pondered for a while, and finally said: "Thank you Brother Yang for your enthusiasm and sincerity, thank you Lord Lu for your wrong love, in fact, Ling Yun really misses the happy time before; Because those days in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department were the best and most memorable times of my life.

"How good it would be if time could be turned back, how good would it be if time could stand still forever in those days, but is it possible? After so many years, so many things have happened, personnel have changed, and now everything is a matter of right and wrong, and there will never be a return to the past......"

Ling Yun's words had been choked by his own trembling whimper, and he couldn't hang down his long eyelashes, hiding the glittering shimmering waves in his eyes.

Yang Zhen couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, and said, "But, Brother Ling, ......"

A bitter smile appeared on Lu Wenzheng's melancholy face, he raised his hand to stop Yang Zhen's words, and said slowly: "Actually, I should have thought of these a long time ago. Zhichao, you're right, time doesn't go back, personnel have changed, and we will never go back to the past, so it's impossible for you to stay in the house anymore, right? ”

Ling Yun leaned down and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Ling Yun is going to live up to the expectations of adults again......"

Lu Wenzheng sighed: "Zhichao, why did you say this? It's just that this government is too abrupt. Zhichao, this government only asks you one sentence now: Since we can't be colleagues, can we continue to be friends? ”
