Let Me Pursue You - Chapter 55
Yuan Yu sent Jiang Birou out of the city with the letter of Heli and money, and found a place for her to settle down according to the imperial decree, and informed the Jiang family as kindly as possible.
In the Yuan Mansion, Lu Shiqing saw that Yuan Cixian had been sullenly standing aside after finishing what he said just now, so he stepped forward and asked, “Yuan Cixian, this is the first time I’ve come to your Yuan Mansion, and you didn’t even invite me to sit down?”
It’s not like he’s talking nonsense. After all, as Xu Shanshi, he could only go sideways, and now it is the first time he has crossed the threshold of the main entrance openly.
Yuan Cixian felt apologetic upon hearing this. She forgot he was still there.
She smiled mischievously: “Where do you want to sit, the middle hall, the flower hall, or my boudoir?”
Lu Shiqing choked, knowing that she was in a bad mood, so he deliberately joked, sighed and said: “I am also a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, and the middle hall is the minimum.” Although deep down in his heart, he would rather visit her boudoir.
Yuan Cixian led him to the central hall, asking along the way: “Is our house much prettier than your Lu residence?”
There are many strange and gaudy rockery buildings in Yuan Mansion, and there are winding and winding streams dug around. It is a very unsuitable place for Lu Shiqing to live.
As Xu Shan, he had never seen the scene in the front yard, and just now he kept trying to figure out Yuan Cixian’s emotions, but he really didn’t pay attention. After hearing the words and looking around, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he even walked a little faster. It seems that they want to go to Zhongtang as soon as possible.
But Yuan Cixian called to him and said: “Go slowly. After the sister-in-law’s matter is settled, I won’t go back to Lu’s mansion with you. I won’t be able to see you every day. You have to tell me to take a closer look now.” .”
After she finished speaking, she sighed, and finally caught up with Lu Shiqing’s winter solstice vacation. She originally wanted to take him to Zhongnan Mountain to see the snow, but brother really needs her company right now, and the female affair must be put aside here.
She knew that elder brother felt more guilty towards Jiang Birou, but after all, the husband and wife were childhood sweethearts, so it was impossible for her to have no feelings at all.
Lu Shiqing was psychologically prepared for her decision, that’s why he followed her on this trip, fearing that she would leave without saying goodbye after she solved the trouble. He stopped in his tracks, turned his head and stiffened his mouth: “What’s so interesting?”
Yuan Cixian rolled her eyes: “Everything looks good on you.”
It was as if she had seen everything.
After all, Lu Shiqing slowed down and listened to her explain things one by one: “I don’t have to send my luggage back, maybe I have to go to your house sometime. But it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days, and Dad will Coming to Chang’an soon, I have to be quiet recently, I can’t just come looking for you, or I will be murdered by him. By the way, you can remember to thank the old lady for me, just say thank you for her care these days, just Something happened to my family, I will visit her old man’s house again after the New Year’s Eve.”
Lu Shiqing frowned: “Understood.”
This girl is good enough to create momentum, she just moved to another house, which caused a depressing atmosphere of life and death. Now, even he felt that Yongxingfang and Shengyefang seemed really far apart.
He was silent, remembering Yuan Yu, and asked suddenly: “You lied to Mrs. Jiang just now, didn’t you?”
Yuan Cixian was taken aback for a moment, and then she understood: “Oh, you mean about her coughing and wheezing.”
If any doctor could diagnose that Jiang Birou’s illness was brought from her mother’s womb, then the Yuan family wouldn’t feel guilty for so long.
Dr. Yu didn’t say those words, she lied in order to let brother get rid of the past completely, and no longer bear the guilt for her. That’s why Jiang Birou lost control of her emotions after hearing it just now.
She smiled and said, “It doesn’t hurt to tell a lie, so don’t tell him.”
Lu Shiqing sneered: “I’m not that close to him.” After he finished speaking, he asked, “What about the last sentence?”
When did she suffer ten times and a hundred times like that?
Yuan Cixian was talking about the previous life in the dream that she no longer remembered. She smiled and said, “I have never suffered anything, it’s just a big show. Why, do you love me?” She turned her head to look at him .
Lu Shiqing said calmly, “No.”
She stopped and pointed at his frown that became “Chuan”: “He still said no, then why are you frowning?”
Lu Shiqing also stopped and said, “Think about whether the Jiang family still has a backup.”
Yuan Cixian was stunned: “Oh, you are worried about Jiang Birou’s curse.” She seemed to find it amused, “Curse is the most incompetent trick used by the most incompetent person in the world. Do you believe that kind of nonsense?”
Lu Shiqing pulled the corner of his mouth, did not speak, and continued to walk forward.
He certainly didn’t mind cursing.
But the curse was on her, so he had to try to believe it, even if it was one in a thousand.
After Lu Shiqing left, for a while, Yuan Cixian stayed at the mansion obediently, walking around Yuan Yu every day, and would not stop until he made him laugh eighty times a day.
After Xiaohan passed, it snowed several times in Chang’an. The brother and sister molded snow horses at the gate of Yuanfu, changing patterns every day until the severe cold. Moved, nestled in the warm home all day long.
One day in the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month, news came from the court that Jiang Siqing had been imprisoned.
Yuan Cixian went through several twists and turns in her heart.
At the end of the year and approaching the New Year’s Eve, King Ping went to Beijing according to the system, and just arrived in Chang’an a few days ago. Thinking about it, it was at this time that Lu Shiqing revealed the matter of the Lingnan Mine. First, he brought down Jiang Siqing, and second, he caught King Ping by surprise.
This is what he said, the best time to kill two birds with one stone.
Right now there is no movement at King Ping’s place, but it is obvious that Jiang Min has nothing to sing about. The courtiers had their own candidates for the crown prince in their minds, which was not a big deal at first, but Jiang Min’s mistake was that it involved the most taboo weapon of the superiors. Of course Emperor Huining would be furious.
Yuan Cixian reckoned that even if the death penalty was not imposed, Jiang Min would inevitably end up being demoted and exiled. Naturally, the Jiang family had to move out of Chang’an with the whole family, away from the political center.
Seeing the Jiang family’s completely different fate from her previous life, she no longer dared to suspect that Lu Shiqing would achieve nothing because of being infatuated with her beauty.
With her, a treasure who is good at dreaming, he is even more powerful than a tiger! Today I dreamed of “Lingnan” for him, and tomorrow I dreamed of mountains and rivers, south of the mountains, south of the sky, and south of the sky.
Yuan Cixian hadn’t seen Lu Shiqing for nearly a month, and in the evening when she got the news, she was so excited that she wanted to thank him face to face, so she asked brother, when would Mom and Dad arrive.
The Wang and his wife of Nannan set off for Beijing as early as 20 days ago, and it took them only two days to reach Chang’an. Yuan Yu made up his mind and told her that tomorrow would be the soonest.
Although Yuan Yizhi dotes on his daughter, he is very strict with her when it comes to matters between men and women. The story of Yuan Cixian and Lu Shiqing has already spread all over the country. Although she was ready to be taught a lesson by her father, she didn’t want to be caught the day before, so she went to Lu’s mansion with confidence after listening to her brother’s words.
It was getting late when Yuan Cixian went out, and when the carriage rolled in the thin snow and rolled to Yongxingfang, it was already dark. She asked the servants in front of the Lu residence, only to find out that Lu Shiqing hadn’t returned home yet.
The servant asked her to wait inside, but she shyly refused. Visiting at this time, it is clear that it is for eating and drinking. It is enough for her to see Lu Shiqing, and she does not want to bother Xuan Shi.
The road was covered with a thin layer of white snow, which was set off by the lanterns hanging in front of the Lu Mansion’s gate, and it was bright all around. Wrapped in a fur cloak, Yuan Cixian stood and waited for a while, feeling a bit cold, and just about to move to shelter from the wind, she saw a carriage coming at the crossing, looking from a distance, the driver was Zhao Shu.
She went down the bluestone steps, leaned over to have a look, and saw the carriage pick up quickly, and then stop in front of her.
Lu Shiqing lifted the curtain and came down, frowned and said, “It’s so cold, you come to my Lu residence to be the door god?”
It’s been a long time since we saw each other, yet we are so fierce when we meet.
Yuan Cixian muttered “yes”, and seemed unwilling to be treated coldly by him when it was over, she suddenly laughed, spread her hands and said: “The door **** is a bit cold, you give it to Wu Wu.”
Lu Shiqing choked, and lowered his eyes to look at her snow-white palm, hesitating secretly, but she first grabbed her and used it as a stove. She rubbed his hands desperately, as if trying to warm herself up.
He laughed for a moment, shook her hand instead, pulled her closer to him, then lowered his head and breathed into her palm.
The warm and moist touch made Yuan Cixian hesitate slightly, and her whole body trembled and went numb.
She secretly stabilized her mind, looked at his serious expression, and smiled from the corner of her eyes to the end of her eyes until she pulled out a curved arc in the shape of a peach petal.
Just at this moment, a carriage quickly drove up the dark crossing, and came to an emergency stop when it came to the Lu residence.
The two people who clasped their hands were taken aback for a moment, and in the next moment, they saw a burly and muscular middle-aged man stepping forward, walking towards this direction angrily.
Yuan Cixian was startled, and pulled her hand out of Lu Shiqing’s palm, stuttering: “Ah… Dad, why are you here…”
Lu Shiqing sighed inwardly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: “His Royal Highness King of Southern Dian.”
Yuan Yi had a murderous look on his face, his face was colder than snow, he snorted, glanced at him, and asked Yuan Cixian first: “You still have me as father in your heart?”
Yuan Cixian pulled his face, hugged his arm and said softly: “Of course I have! It’s a big one, very big.”
He straightened the saber on his waist, ignored her, and said to Lu Shiqing: “Mr. Lu, take a step to talk.”
Yuan Cixian twitched and gave Lu Shiqing a quiet wink, signaling him not to respond and to run away quickly.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t seem to understand, stretched out his hand towards the door of the mansion, and said with a smile: “Please.”
Wow, this is simply inviting wolves into the house. He has no arms or legs.
Seeing Yuan Yi straight up and walking away, Yuan Cixian dragged him desperately: “Father, it’s a long way, you have traveled so hard all the way, my brother and I have prepared a feast for you and your mother, let’s go back quickly let’s go home.”
Yuan Yi pushed her hand away, snorted coldly, said with the waist knife in his hand, “You go back first, Father believes that Lu Shilang has also prepared a reception banquet for me.”
Yuan Cixian was about to cry: “You don’t want to drink his blood…”
Lu Shiqing showed helplessness, and just wanted to tell Yuan Cixian to go back at ease, but saw a woman covered with a snow-colored cloak stepping out of the front carriage, walking slowly towards this side, and said softly when she came up to her. Yao, be obedient and go back with Auntie.”
Yuan Cixian looked back, called Feng Shi “Aniang”, then hesitated for a while with pursed lips, and told Yuan Yi straight: “Okay, father, please be merciful, don’t see blood …”
Yuan Yi ignored her directly and strode into the Lu residence.
Lu Shiqing took a slow step, nodded slightly to Feng Shi, then raised his heels, greeted Yuan Yi until he reached the middle hall, and ordered his servants to serve hot tea.
Yuan Yizhi directly waved his hand and refused: “No tea. Lu Shilang, you and I will get straight to the point.”
“Okay.” He twitched the corner of his mouth and asked, “You talk first, or Lu first?”
Yuan Yi stretched out his hand slightly, beckoning him to please.
“Then I won’t be a secret.” Lu Shiqing smiled, “Now there is a person named Lu Luoyang, twenty-two years old, unmarried, and without a concubine. , a hundred years together.”
