Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 48

Lu Shiqing almost thought he was deaf.

Yuan Shichen, who has always regarded his younger sister as a treasure, would do such a heinous thing? Such an act was clearly done by a brother like him.

But Yuan Cixian’s expression of grievance was very serious, and he held his mouth and said: “Sister-in-law is happy, brother doesn’t love me anymore, just because I snatched a chicken leg from sister-in-law during dinner, I am so anxious …You said, what’s the difference between this and kicking me out? I tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep, so I ran away from home when I was out of breath. Now I don’t even have a place to live, so I can only come to you. You won’t bear to see me in the dust Bar?”

“…”

Homeless, homeless, she’s a ghost!

Lu Shiqing looked around: “Are you alone?”

Yuan Cixian nodded: “It’s absolutely true. Even Xiao Hei doesn’t want to follow me this time.” After speaking, he pressed the back of his hand to the corners of his eyes, looking tearful.

Hearing this, he tilted his head and asked Cao An: “Have you disturbed the old lady?”

“Probably not.”

Yuan Cixian saw that he was looking forward and backward, so she quickly interjected: “It is said that the heights are extremely cold, but this wall is really too cold, you can think about it, can you let me go down first to warm up?”

“…” Lu Shiqing looked up at her bleak silhouette, sighed, and stretched out a hand towards her to signal, “Come down.”

Yuan Cixian carefully moved the other leg over, and suddenly remembered Xu Ruqing’s method of getting twice the result with half the effort. A kiss is too cheap for Lu Shiqing, but it’s not a bad idea to throw yourself into a hug. After all, she didn’t want to be kicked out of the house by him after landing.

She had made up her mind, she made a very clever mistake, and with an “ouch”, she fell down with her burden.

The souls of the two people below were almost lost by her, Qiqi stepped forward and reached out to catch them, but in the end it was Lu Shiqing who was in front, and Yuan Cixian fell firmly into his arms.

He bent his arms and followed the person, but first frowned, and immediately turned around holding her in his arms, glanced at the torch that Cao An threw away in a hurry, and asked, “What did you want to do just now?”

He was so anxious that he lost all the torches, what was he trying to do?

Cao An silently picked up the torch with stiff hands, not daring to look up at the two of them, lowered his head and said, “The villain slipped his hands for a while, please forgive me.”

Lu Shiqing said coldly in a deep voice: “Go to Dongkua Courtyard to arrange a place to live, and be quiet.”

Yuan Cixian was overjoyed, but she pretended to be in shock and kept patting her chest.

Seeing Cao An leaving in a hurry, Lu Shiqing looked down at her.

This girl is playing tricks with him. Knowing that he had no choice but to pick it up, he kicked the sky and the well like this.

Seeing that his eyes were slightly cold, Yuan Cixian was a little guilty, and wanted to divert his attention, but couldn’t stop moaning, so she quickly stretched her arms around his neck, and muttered: “Well, I can’t walk because my legs are weak. Moved, you hug me…”

Lu Shiqing’s eyes changed in an instant, from a sharp knife to boiling hot molten iron, he turned his eyes away and calmed down, and carried her to the east side of the courtyard.

It was the first time he had held her while she was awake. The touch is familiar, but what’s the difference, especially her pair of shimmering and compelling eyes staring directly at his chin, as if she was ready to come up to bite him at will, which really made him feel like a wild horse.

But he can’t show it. He just walked with a steady pace, quietly turned his head to an angle that could reveal the beauty of his skin, and then said lightly: “Shouldn’t you say hello to your elder brother first? If he hits the whip again, I will not I really can’t help the world.”

Yuan Cixian thought that of course she had left a note with brother, but it was not easy to tell Lu Shiqing, so she pretended to be angry and said, “I don’t want to talk to him.”

Lu Shiqing didn’t insist anymore. After all, this move was in his favor.

He failed to persuade Xu Shan to make peace, and then he went to ask his teacher’s wife for advice on what to do about it. Xu Ruqing was busy packing and preparing to go to Luoyang, so he only left six words for him: Come to the door to apologize.

After thinking about it, this was the only way he could do it, so he made a plan. Tomorrow’s 15th day coincided with Wangchao, and he would be able to see Yuan Yu in the palace at that time. Starting with him, it would be a good idea to take a trip to Yuan Mansion.

It’s good now, save him a trouble.

He was lost in thought, and the strength in his hands loosened a little. Yuan Cixian felt that half of his body was hanging outside, and quickly grabbed him and said, “Hold on tighter, I’m about to fall!”

Lu Shiqing woke up, frowned and said coldly: “If you’re so troublesome, go by yourself.” Before he finished speaking, he tightened his arms and rolled her inward.

This time it was too tight, his jade pendant was pinching her waist.

But Yuan Cixian didn’t dare to dislike him any more, so she quietly stretched out her hand, trying to pull the jade pendant up and move it to a different place. Unexpectedly, this pull, as if some kind of mechanism had been activated, tore apart his whole body with a “swish”. a belt.

Yuan Cixian turned pale with shock.

Lu Shiqing froze and stopped, looking down at her and his loose robe in disbelief.

“I…” She stared up and looked up, only to realize that she had mistaken the jade hook on his belt for a jade pendant, “I didn’t mean to…” After speaking, she hurriedly raised her hand, wanting to buckle it back for him.

Unexpectedly, it was easy to undress but difficult to put on. Her hands were trembling, but she couldn’t button it successfully.

Lu Shiqing only knew that he couldn’t make a move now, and he forgot under the great shock that he could actually let her go. And by the time his brain was sharp enough, it was too late.

Just listening to the distance, someone gasped and said in surprise: “My son…!”

Yuan Cixian paused, her whole body collapsed.

Lu Shiqing also froze, slowly raised his head, and saw Xuanshi standing under the opposite porch.

From Xuan’s perspective, all he could see was a thin, faceless man lying in his son’s arms, with his head raised and struggling to fiddle with his loose belt.

That’s right, of course Yuan Cixian went out in men’s clothing.

This is a big misunderstanding.

Xuan Shi was awakened by the previous movement, so he got up specially at night to check it out. Seeing the situation, he almost couldn’t catch his breath.

Yuan Cixian’s face became hot, and she desperately buried her head in Lu Shiqing’s waist, refusing to be seen by her future mother-in-law.

When Mrs. Xuan approached the two of them, she was so angry that she couldn’t speak easily: “Okay, what are you doing! A Niang has been worrying about your marriage all these years, so I will find you a young lady from this family.” Wife, the little lady of Zhang Luo’s family… you are telling my mother now, you…you…! You are the only son of the Lu family, can you be worthy of your dead father?”

She misunderstood that he had the habit of Longyang.

Lu Shiqing was in distress, so he could only pull Yuan Cixian’s bun, and when her black hair fell loose, he said, “No, Auntie, you misunderstood.”

Xuan was taken aback. Oh, look at this black waterfall-like long hair, it seems to be a little lady.

She finally regained her composure, but soon felt that something was wrong: “Okay, what are you doing! How can you be worthy of Lancang County Lord Lancang if you do such a mediocre thing with this ignorant little lady? “

Lu Shiqing and Yuan Cixian: “…”

Xuan’s chest was so angry that his chest heaved and he raised his eyes: “How did you promise Auntie after you returned to Beijing? Did you promise Auntie that you will go to the Yuan Mansion to propose marriage when the King of Southern Yunnan enters Beijing?”

Yuan Cixian suddenly looked up at Lu Shiqing.

Lu Shiqing looked down at her, and denied it categorically: “Aniang, I never promised you!”

“You still dare to go back on your word with A-Niang?” Xuan said in a self-sufficient manner, “You throw this person out of the house for me now. If she is without me tonight, if you insist on keeping her, you will just deny me.” A Niang! Remember, no one can enter my Lu residence except Mrs. Yuan Xiao!”

Lu Shiqing and Yuan Cixian looked at each other, and saw the taste of compromise from the bottom of each other’s eyes.

Yuan Cixian jumped down from his arms, smoothed out his messy hair, and said hesitantly, “Old Madam Lu…you say that, I’m really happy…but I was kicked out by my elder brother The house is closed, if you don’t take me in tonight, I’m afraid you won’t see me enter your Lu residence again…” After saying that, she looked like she was about to cry.

Xuan saw her face clearly at a glance, and in shock, glanced at his son who was buttoning his belt in a panic, pulled her behind to protect her, and then scolded Lu Shiqing again: “Okay, you What did you do! Mrs. Yuan came here in desperation, and you did not follow the rules and did such an unbearable thing!”

Lu Shiqing: “…”

Yuan Cixian was mostly blocked by Xuan Shi, biting her lip and looking at him embarrassedly.

Lu Shiqing didn’t want to explain anymore, anyway, he probably picked it up, so he simply confessed and apologized: “Mother, all the mistakes are my fault, my son will copy the Buddhist scriptures for you for three days from tomorrow, to behave righteously.”

Only then did Xuan groan, reluctantly accepted, patted Yuan Cixian’s hand to signal her not to be afraid, and then asked her: “Where was he going to take you?”

Yuan Cixian gave Lu Shiqing a relieved smile, and replied, “Dongkuayuan.”

Xuan sneered: “You don’t know, there is a wall between Dongkua courtyard and his main courtyard, he did this on purpose!”

Lu Shiqing: “…”

She continued: “Don’t fall into his trap, and stay with me tonight.”

Yuan Cixian felt bitter. She wanted to fall into his trap, especially his trap.

But he had to show gratitude on his face, holding Xuan’s hand and saying: “Thank you, Mrs. Lu, for taking me in.”

Yuan Cixian lived in the room next to Xuan’s for one night, and when the rooster crowed, she slipped out quietly. Relying on the memories of when she came back to the Lu Mansion, she stooped all the way to hide in Tibet, and touched Lu Shiqing’s yard.

It’s not that she’s restless, it’s that she has to go out to run some errands today, and she needs to ask him for a favor.

She thought about connecting the clues in her dream yesterday, and felt that it was necessary to remind Zheng Zhuo to pay attention to the Jiang family.

First of all, the Jiang family plotted against him, no doubt because of the fact that he might ascend to the throne in the future, and wanted to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

Secondly, according to inference, the Yuan family was defeated in winter two years later, and at that time, Jiang Bican had not yet given birth to an heir. This shows that the Jiang family’s calculations against Zheng Zhuo had to be at the beginning of the next year at the earliest. But now, Zheng Zhuo is still taking a “secret path”, and most people, including the Jiang family, probably haven’t noticed his ambition yet.

It stands to reason that she can wait and see for a while, and there is no need to rush to explain this matter to him. But the point is, she remembered one thing – as early as when she first came to Chang’an, Jiang Birou had been matching her and Zheng Zhuo.

At that time, Yuan Cixian also wondered whether she, as brother’s bedside person, was really so innocent and didn’t know the private relationship between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo, and now she finally got the answer.

It is impossible for Jiang Birou not to know. She tried her best to match the two of them, but in fact it was not for the result, but to test Zheng Zhuo’s desire to seize the heir apparent through this marriage, through the two brothers and sisters.

Just like when Yuan Cixian lied to Yuan Yu that she wanted to marry Zheng Zhuo in order to test Yuan Yu, but in the end she got out of his words and guessed the relationship between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo.

That is to say, Jiang Birou knew everything a few months ago, and probably told her second uncle, the Minister of Dali Temple in the imperial court, about it. And this thing has never happened in the previous life.

In this life, Yuan Cixian came to Chang’an at the age of sixteen in Zhongxia, which probably caused Zheng Zhuo to be exposed to the Jiang family in advance.

For this reason, she no longer had to worry about whether Zheng Zhuo could be trusted or not. When facing the Jiang family, he is her ally.

Zheng Zhuo was punished to go to Wangji Temple to chant scriptures and pray for blessings on the first and fifteenth day of each month because of the killing of life in the Obon Festival, so she chose to visit Princess Shaohe, who was also practicing there, to find a chance to talk to her. He bumps.

When she entered Lu Shiqing’s courtyard, she immediately saw that he was fully dressed and was walking out in a hurry. It seemed that he was about to go to court, so she quickly stopped him and explained his purpose.

Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said uncomfortably, “To visit Princess Shaohe, why do you have to choose fifteen?”
