Xiao Jingtang frowned.

Lou Dongfeng continued: "But the Xu family is a knowledgeable person, but his background is not high, and he was killed by the Liu family in his early years, and he was not favored. It's just that this time I went back to the Du family, I saw that the Xu family was still kind and kind, not complaining about the sky, not caring for people, but I don't know how this Du Furui became like this. ”

"Then the Xu family, very fond of Du Furui?"

"Not really. Lou Dongfeng thought for a while and shook his head: "At least when I left the Du family, she didn't ask me to take care of the second miss of the Du family more, nor did she say anything else, it didn't seem to be in good spirits." ”

Speaking of this, the Xu family and the Liu family are still cousins, and they look very similar, but the family background is very different, the Liu family is rich, the Xu family is only fostered in the Liu family, and marrying the Du family is only the Liu family's dowry. In his early years, he was favored, but somehow he fell out of favor, and later Liu gave birth to Du Wenrou, and Xu also gave birth to Du Furui, although they are all daughters, but Du Wenrou is the eldest daughter, often bullying Du Furui, Xu's depressed, never out of his house again.

Thinking that this Xu family is also a poor person, now that he is favored, if he does not see arrogance, but maintains his true heart, then Du Furui's behavior, she may not help?

Xiao Jingtang weighed it for a long time, and he had a headache.

Lou Dongfeng also understood why he was so distressed, after all, the Du family made a fortune by making weapons, and they had a lot of connections in the court, and if they didn't pay attention, it would be bad. But...... The Du family is really inadequate.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Jingtang sighed: "That's it, since it is a scientific expedition soon, other things can be put aside for the time being, and wait for the people of the Du family to come over." ”

"Hmm. Lou Dongfeng bowed his head, and couldn't help but glance at the side of the courtyard.

It's empty, there's nothing left.

Ruan Miaomeng calmly went to find gentleness, with all her savings and softness, and a relieved smile on her face.

"What's going on?" Dumbfounded, he looked at the things on the table and asked, "You're running away from home?"

"It's not running away from home, it's just a relief. Ruan Miaomeng smiled very cutely, and there was a shallow pear vortex on her cheeks: "Put everything here with you first, and when I go to explain to the second young master, I can leave the Xiao family, and then follow you to do business." ”

Leave the Xiao family and follow her to do business?

Gently gasped, and couldn't help frowning: "That bastard doesn't want you anymore?"

looked at her with a smile for a while, Ruan Miaomeng's eyes were still a little red: "It's that I don't want him anymore." ”

When she heard this, there were a thousand grievances in it, and she was very distressed, and hurriedly asked her: "Didn't you say that you were unwilling to let go? Why don't you want him now?"

"I always feel that as long as I wait, he will always come, even if I am old and ugly, he will remember my kindness to him at the beginning, and will not treat me badly. ”

"But today I figured it out. He doesn't have me in his heart anymore, and even if he takes me back in the future, he will feel that I am a woman who has been carried in through the side door and needs no respect. Miaomeng chuckled: "It's not that I can't live without him, since I can live, why should I suffer that kind of torment?"

That's right, nodded gently, took her hand and said, "Then if you are sad for a while, let's forget about him." ”

"What do I have to be sad about?" sighed, Miaomeng smiled: "I used to always look forward to him coming, every day and every night, looking forward to coming, and worrying about him leaving, all the time. I was tired of life, but now, I'm finally free. I don't have to worry about him not wanting me anymore. ”

Slightly stunned, looking at the smile on her face, she pinched her softly and distressedly, thought about it, and said, "I wanted to discuss with you, do you want to go to the capital to do business?"

Ruan Miaomeng nodded: "Okay, there is still my home there." ”

Gentle glare: "Your home is from the capital?"

"Hmm. He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and Miao Meng smiled: "I haven't told you yet, my father is also a businessman, and he is well-known in the capital, because I insisted on ruining my own plans to pave the way for others, and my father was so angry that he cut off relations with me." It's been so many years, even if he still doesn't recognize me as a daughter, I should go back and see. ”

"Isn't this the same as the living Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiang?" sighed gently.

"Who are Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru?"

"It's just a stupid calf and a bad man. Shrugged gently: "Like you, the best youth is spent on men, not for themselves, in the end, men have something else to love and don't want her, and they can only make some complaints." ”

This place is called the Ming Dynasty, but it seems to be a little different from history, Ruan Miaomeng has also read books, and even Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru don't know.

Nodding as if he didn't understand, Miao Meng smiled: "In the future, I will earn money for myself, save money for myself, and nothing else." ”

"Good. Gently clenched his fists, and took stock of the property of the two of them with her, and there was still a lot of difference before he could buy a shop, and he had to wait for Liulixuan to continue to make money.

When the night fell, Ruan Miaomeng went to say goodbye to Xiao Jingtang.

"Thank you for the care of the second young master, but this Aunt Ruan of the Xiao Mansion is afraid that she is also going to 'die'. ”

Xiao Jingtang frowned, looking at her incomprehensibly: "Master Hou plans to take you away?"

"No, I have a place I want to go. Saluting to him, Miaomeng smiled, "Don't wait for him." ”

What kind of thing is this? Xiao was stunned and said in embarrassment: "You should still talk to Hou Ye first, otherwise he will ask me for someone, where can I find it?"

"Send him a soft and considerate woman who doesn't have any ideas, just listens to him. Ruan Miaomeng smiled: "He must like it very much." Leave. ”

Xiao Jingtang pursed his lips, looked at her back, but didn't let anyone stop him, only asked Steward Xiao to send a letter to Lou Dongfeng.

The Emperor Wuhou, who received the letter, was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but get up and go out to find someone. But before he stepped out, he saw the dark guard flying in front of him and whispered: "There is an urgent matter in Beijing, Your Majesty is sick." ”

With a sinking heart, Lou Dongfeng glanced at the distance, his eyes full of sighs.

The emperor's illness is not a trivial matter, and the saint has always been in excellent health today, so he has never appointed a crown prince, and the ministers have not mentioned it. But once he is sick, presumably the matter of establishing the crown prince will be immediately put on the agenda.

It's really not a good time now, Concubine Shu has fallen out of favor, and the queen's party is overwhelming, and at this time, it will not be them who will benefit from preparing for the crown prince's affairs.

I don't have time to think about it, as the Marquis of Emperor Wu, all he has to do is to return to the emperor immediately when he has something to do and lead troops to suppress the palace.

The clothes were not changed, Lou Dongfeng got on the horse brought by the secret guard, the things were not packed, and the people who wanted to see him were not seen, so he went directly to the capital.
