Xicheng, the small courtyard of the Lu family.

"Cousin."

Luo Xiaoyu looked at Lu Chen, who was lying on the couch with his hands behind his head with his hands on his head, looking thoughtful, and asked softly: "That Lord Xia and his family have been waiting outside the door for more than an hour, isn't it good for you not to see them?" After all, Lord Xia and they are leaving Beijing to return to Yongchuan today, and they don't know when the next time they meet. ”

"Nothing bad."

Lu Chen yawned and said indifferently: "Since I told you that I didn't see them when they came, and asked you to send them away, I will definitely not change my mind, no matter how long they wait." ”

He didn't get any benefit from this incident, and the biggest reason was this Xia Yan.

This guy is actually a good official in the dog skin of a corrupt official!

For this most cheating backstabber, it's no wonder that he can have a good impression.

Not to mention that the conversation was very pleasant, Lu Chen was annoyed when he saw his good old man-like face, how could he let him in?

Luo Xiaoyu naturally didn't know all kinds of reasons, and when she saw Lu Chen so decisive, she couldn't help but be a little worried.

"But cousin, if you snub Lord Xia like this, if Lord Xia is resentful......"

"It doesn't matter."

Lu Chen turned over, changed to a more comfortable position and lay down, and then said slowly: "As a science and Taoist official, how can you not offend people?" Even if he resents me because of this, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as he has a clear conscience, he is naturally fearless. ”

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoyu knew that Lu Chen was determined not to see Xia Yan's family, so he couldn't help but sigh softly.

My cousin's temperament has been able to mix in officialdom until now, and it seems that he is still very appreciated by His Majesty... It's a miracle......

I just don't know how long this miracle will last......

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xiaoyu asked softly, "Cousin, why don't you want to see Lord Xia and them?" ”

"You don't understand."

Lu Chen casually made an excuse, "As long as you know that I must have my reasons and considerations for doing this, you don't care about the rest, and you don't need to care about these messy things." ”

"Oh......"

Luo Xiaoyu replied rather disappointed, then got up and left the room and walked towards the door.

Click...

opened the door, and the Xia Yan family, who had been waiting outside, as well as Li Da and other Yongchuan people, suddenly reacted.

"Miss Luo."

Xia Yan gently bowed his hand to Luo Xiaoyu, and asked directly after a little salute, "Is Lord Lu idle?" ”

In order not to offend people, or to let Lu Chen offend less people, Luo Xiaoyu has been lying that Lu Chen is busy with official business and has no time to meet guests, so let them come back another day.

Not only today, Luo Xiaoyu also said the same thing when Xia Yan handed over the prayer post before.

But today Xia Yan's family is leaving Luojing and returning to Yongchuan, and they don't know when they will meet next time, so Xia Yan has been waiting outside.

This time, thanks to Lu Chen's gambling on his official identity and future to vouch for him, he tried to retry him, and even when he had completely given up, he still firmly believed in him, and asked to completely understand the causes and consequences of the case, and find out the truth, so that their family was able to escape the catastrophe and regain their lives.

The grace of saving lives is comparable to reconstruction!

With such great kindness, how could Xia Yan leave Luojing without personally coming to the door to thank Lu Chen.

Hearing Xia Yan's expectant words, Luo Xiaoyu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

But the need to do still has to be done.

I saw her shake her head, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Lord Xia, I lied just now, cousin, he's not busy now, it's just... He doesn't want to see you. ”

Hearing this, Xia Yan was stunned.

Not only him, but Xia Yun behind him, his wife Li, daughter Xia Mengyu and the two old servants were all stunned, and then looked at Luo Xiaoyu with a puzzled expression.

Xia Yun was obviously anxious, and immediately asked urgently, "What?" Lord Lu doesn't want to see us? ”

Luo Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, cousin, he clearly told me that he will never see you now." ”

"It's... How is this possible? ”

Xia Yun looked incredulous, and couldn't figure it out anyway.

"Lord Lu worked so hard to save our family, why didn't he even want to see us in the future?"

Xia Yan glanced inside, and then asked, "Miss Luo, did Lord Lu say why he didn't want to see us?" ”

Luo Xiaoyu shook his head again.

"I don't know what the specific reason is, my cousin just said that he doesn't want to see you, so he naturally has his considerations."

Hearing this, Xia Yan's eyes suddenly tightened.

"Lord Lu's considerations?"

"Hmm."

Luo Xiaoyu bowed slightly, and then said softly:

"Lord Xia, please go back, no matter what, since my cousin has made up his mind, it is impossible for you to see him, and it will only be a waste of time and meaningless to wait any longer."

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, then let out a long sigh and bowed deeply in the direction where Lu Chen was.

"That being the case, then there won't be much trouble in the next, and Miss Luo will tell you for me, Lord Lu's kindness will not be repaid in the next, if there is a place to be useful in the future, even if it is to go to the soup, I will never shirk it."

Seeing that Xia Yan did not have a trace of resentment on his face at all, but solemnly left a promise, Luo Xiaoyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you don't have an extra enemy......

"Don't worry, Lord Xia, I will definitely tell my cousin what you say."

"Thank you!"

"Lord Xia, you are too polite."

“……”

After a polite moment, Xia Yan turned around and left with his family and Li Da and others.

After Luo Xiaoyu saw them leave, she closed the door.

"Dad, why do you say Lord Lu doesn't want to see us?"

On the way to Donghua Gate, Xia Yun asked with a tangled face:

"Isn't it Dad, when did you offend Lord Lu, and Lord Lu refused to even see us in anger?"

Xia Yan gave him a blank look.

This stupid son, his nerves are really ridiculously big.

If you think about it, you know it's impossible.

Lu Chen was so kind to their family, it was too late for him to be grateful, how could he offend Lu Chen?

Xia Mengyu, who had only arrived in the year of Ji Lu on the side, was also speechless.

"Brother, how can you think that? Daddy is not ungrateful, how can he be like you say? And Sister Fang Cailuo has already said that Lord Lu must have his deep meaning in doing this, but we haven't thought of it yet. ”

Obviously, Xia Yun, a sister who is three or four years younger than him, has a much more flexible brain than him.

It's just that what she didn't know was that she had ruled out the correct answer first.

Xia Yun soon realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly apologized to his father.

Xia Yan waved his hand, not caring at all.

He's used to it.

Compared with this kind of trivial matter, he cared more about the reason why Lu Chen didn't see them.

So he rushed to Donghua Gate with his family, frowning and thinking hard, thinking about the deep meaning of Lu Chen's doing.

Most of the day passed in this contemplation.

When the group was escorted by several Xuanwu guards to an inn outside the city, until they entered the guest room, Xia Yan's eyes suddenly flashed.

"I see!"
