"What about Lu Mingchao?" Shen Lansui asked.

Lu Xingyue's expression was complicated for a moment, "It was he who took the initiative to come to me." ”

"Why?" Shen Lansui was surprised.

"At that time, when I entered the warm pavilion, I was thinking about the intentions of the eldest lady, I didn't want to speculate on her with the worst possible, but her reaction was too strange, so I wanted to go out after sitting for a while, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside......"

When he heard the footsteps, he went to the window, pushed open a crack and looked out, and saw the maid guarding the door suddenly leave.

Knowing that there were people here, the maid left without guarding the door, which was obviously a problem.

Lu Xingyue squinted, as soon as the maid left with his front foot, he climbed out of the back window and went to the roof, quietly watching the situation in the yard.

Soon, a few maids came over with a person half-supported and half-hugged, his eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he could tell from the color of the person's clothes that it was Zhou Mengli.

In an instant, he figured out the eldest lady's plan, and couldn't help but sneer.

Zhou Mengli didn't want to be a concubine for him, but the eldest lady didn't die of thieves, and the soft ones didn't make it hard, but she learned a little smarter this time, and didn't start directly with him and Shen Lansui, but drugged Zhou Mengli.

and then deliberately led him to the warm pavilion, if he wasn't always vigilant, when the maids left, they pushed Zhou Mengli in, not to mention what happened, just a lonely man and a widow were in the same room, and the woman was untidy, this game would have been done, and the woman's reputation would have been ruined, either marry or die.

And Zhou Mengli is the niece of the eldest lady, as long as the eldest lady cries and makes a fuss, the prince will definitely make the decision to let him accept Zhou Mengli.

Lan Sui can't rub sand in his eyes, and he will definitely be separated from him when the time comes.

I have to say that the eldest lady's abacus is really loud.

Raw rice is cooked and cooked, even if it is found out that it was done by the eldest lady, what can she do?

No wonder she wants to break up the country.

After figuring everything out, Lu Xingyue pulled his lips, and watched as those people pushed Zhou Mengli into the warm pavilion and closed the door and locked it, even the windows around him were closed and locked.

If he hadn't left first, he would have really become a turtle in an urn at this time.

Lu Xingyue was furious, and when those people left, he flew off the roof, found Zhou Quan and Mu Lang, and asked them to go to Guogong to come back, he didn't plan to make any more false promises with them.

However, at this time, Lu Mingchao suddenly came over, and the first thing he said when he met was to ask him why he was here, and he didn't go to Shen Lansui.

Lu Xingyue told him what he had just seen, and Lu Mingchao's face became ugly in an instant.

Lu Xingyue thought that he would face the eldest lady, and he was ready to knock people unconscious and tie them up, but he didn't expect him to say, "I'll go find Mengli." ”

"What did you say?" Lu Xingyue looked at him in surprise.

Lu Mingchao smiled bitterly, "I'll go, I'm willing to marry Mengli." ”

Lu Xingyue frowned, "Are you sure?" Have you ever thought that she might not want to marry you? ”

"But this is the best arrangement, I will make it clear to her, if there is no one else in the warm pavilion today, and the mother's plan fails, she will definitely be angry with Mengli, the Zhou family will not dare to offend her, Mengli will not have a good time in the future, as long as she does something when she discusses marriage, her whole life will be ruined, rather than this, it is better to let her marry me, at least I can protect her, and the Guogong Mansion is her backer."

"Anyway, the beloved is destined not to be obtained, and whoever I marry is the same for me." Lu Mingchao's face was pale, but his tone was very firm, "If she is not willing to marry me, I will find a way to help her find a good marriage and then send her to marry." ”

"It's like me atoning for my mother's sins."

Lu Xingyue glanced at him deeply, and finally took him there, there was no one outside the warm pavilion, they wanted to make the illusion of a lonely man and a widow, and there would definitely be no one at the door, which was convenient for them.

The door was locked, and Lu Xingyue took a hairpin and easily stabbed it open.

Zhou Mengli fell to the ground, curled up and cried.

When he heard the movement, he shrank back in fear.

Lu Mingchao stepped forward and knelt on the ground, told her the ins and outs, and asked her if she would like to marry her.

Zhou Mengli was very broken for a while, but finally agreed to Lu Mingchao.

That's what happened later.

*

Shen Lansui had a very complicated mood after hearing this, "In the final analysis, the biggest victim in this incident is still in a dream, and sadly, none of us are qualified to comfort her." ”

She and Lu Xingyue are not completely innocent, if it weren't for their conflict with the eldest lady, Zhou Mengli would not have been involved.

This kind of thing will not happen, although she did have the idea of being a concubine for Lu Xingyue at the beginning, but in this era, her thinking has her limitations, and she can't be completely blamed, not to mention that she woke up in time and didn't make a mistake again and again.

But in the end, she still couldn't escape the mercy of the eldest lady.

If Lu Mingchao hadn't stood up, what would have happened to Zhou Mengli, she didn't dare to think about it.

Lu Xingyue bowed, "Although Lu Mingchao is a little indecisive, he is very responsible, he will not disappoint her if he marries Zhou Mengli, and this is Zhou Mengli's choice, she knows what road is good for her, we will help her more in the future." ”

Shen Lansui sighed and nodded, "That's the only way." ”

After a moment of silence, she suddenly got up and took out a sandalwood box from the dark compartment on the side and handed it to Lu Xingyue, "This is what the eldest lady said to give me, it should have been given to you yesterday, but the thing was a little damaged, I asked people to take it and repair it, and re-replenish the gem, you can take a look." ”

Lu Xingyue was stunned, and he had a faint premonition in his heart, "What is it?" ”

"It's a meeting gift from your mother to the eldest lady, a golden step shake, very beautiful."

Lu Xingyue took it carefully, opened the box and saw that the golden step lying on the red satin was full of color, hooked beads and inlaid jade, it was indeed very beautiful, like the craftsmanship in the palace.

He gently touched the tassel that he was shaking, and his expression was inexplicable.

"One more thing." Shen Lansui hesitated: "I feel that the eldest lady hates you not only because of her child, but also because of your mother, she seems to be a little jealous of your mother, or maybe I feel wrong, but if you want to know, you can check along this one." ”

"Okay." Lu Xingyue's voice trembled slightly.

Lu Xingyue looked at the steps and shook his eyes a few more times, imagining the appearance of his mother, but he couldn't think of it at all.

He slowly closed the lid and returned the box to Shen Lansui, "Since it's given to you, you can put it away." ”

"Me? But this is your mother's thing, don't you? Shen Lansui didn't answer.

Lu Xingyue took her hand and put the box in the palm of her hand, "If my mother knew about it, she would definitely be happy, I married such a good lady, but unfortunately I couldn't let her see it with her own eyes." ”

Shen Lansui's heart trembled, and she clenched the box in her hand, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of it." ”
