228. Fan four

Lu Mingyu came to the village to commemorate his mother, so he naturally brought the guards with him. These guards were all selected by Lu Mingyu's grandfather, Lu Zhan, the Minister of War, personally selected for his granddaughter when Lu Mingyu got married. They were all very skilled. Duan Zhong was born in the martial arts world and might be able to avoid the guards when he entered the hospital for an assault, but when he got on the room, the first flames came up, and the eight guards who were vigilant tonight were alarmed at the same time.

With the light of fire, someone noticed a black shadow jumping down the wall and fled to the east. The guard immediately chased the black shadow and blew a loud whistle. There were eight guards on the village who were on the turn to finish their rest. When they heard the whistle, the eight people immediately became startled, some put out the fire, and some rode horses to chase the murderer.

No matter how fast Duan Zhong ran, he could not beat a horse galloping. However, he was very skilled and could not catch him. Duan Zhong knew that his actions were not tolerated by the world, so he unintentionally took the lives of the three of them. He secretly prepared the remaining mystery and medicine and sprinkled it on the three of them.

At the same time, the fourth guard who had been hiding in the darkness also took action. The hidden arrow shot into Duan Zhong's right calf accurately. The sharp arrow penetrated into the leg bone with an irresistible force, which could be heartbreaking. Duan Zhong's body shook and gritted his teeth to continue escaping. However, one of his legs was broken. How long can he escape?

Listening to the footsteps of the approaching ward, Duan Zhong took out a porcelain bottle of tung oil, dragged his legs and smeared it on his face, preparing to commit suicide by disfigurement, but just as he tried to light the fire, another hidden arrow flew in thunder, passing through him and his palm.

Duan Zhong howled and fell to the ground, and had no time to bite and commit suicide.

The guard took his body back to the other yard, but he was surprised to hear that the fire was the biggest before the prince's wife's bed. The guard seemed to have rushed in, but it was still one step late. The people on the bed had already burned... However, Cai Mang was just trapped in the medicine. He was awake at this time and the crying sounded loudly.

The bad news came to the capital. Zhu, who was nearly fifty years old and had fair hair, fainted directly. His blind and haggard Lu San was so painful that he vomited blood and could not even walk by himself. There was crying in the Lu Mansion. Lu Zhan, the Minister of War, was the calmest, but he also cried red, and his eyes were red with hatred. He snatched his granddaughter's body back to the Lu family halfway, and then took Duan Zhong's body into the palace Chen Yuan.

Emperor Hui of Ming was very complicated about the Lu family. Lu Rong protected a maid and cousin jumped into the lake to commit suicide. Emperor Hui of Ming was angry with the Lu family for this and only pampered his niece A Nuan. Later, he took Lu Yun into the palace but failed to protect her, causing Lu Yun to be poisoned by Xu Guiren. Emperor Hui of Ming was in pain and felt guilty towards Lu Zhan.

At this time, I was surprised to hear that his niece, Lu Yun's favorite niece died tragically. Emperor Hui of Ming was so angry that he slapped the table and exchanged the commander of the Jinyiwei overnight, and found Duan Zhong's behind-the-scenes envoy within three days.

How powerful is the Jinyiwei? Besides, there are almost only a handful of people who have a gap between Lu Mingyu in the capital. From the direction that Lu Mingyu is most likely to make profits after his death, Wan Shu naturally became the first target of the Jinyiwei's suspicion. Just as the Jinyiwei found evidence to prove that Duan Zhong was the head of Wan Shu, the Jinyiwei also found Dong Yueer and his son. After interrogation, Dong Yueer also asked him to find that Run Ge'er was pregnant during her period of being filial to death.

Lu Zhan didn't care so much. From Caisang and Lan Yue, he learned from Caisang that Dong Yue'er had taken Run Ge'er to show off his power in front of his granddaughter. Lu Zhan became angry and ignored the grandma. Mrs. Chu stopped him and wiped the necks of the mother and son with a sword. Wan Shu was protected by the people from Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion and escaped from Lu Zhan's sword, but could not escape the cell of the Jinyiwei.

These happened in just two days.

When the bodies of Dong Yueer and his son were thrown into the grave and Wan Shu was imprisoned, Chu Sui finally rushed back from Shanxi without stopping, with dust and swollen and red eyes. After entering Beijing, he did not return home, so he went straight to the Lu family to see his wife.

"Grandfather, please let me meet A Nuan..." Kneeling in front of the Lu Mansion, Chu Sui burst into tears and couldn't help himself. Lu Mingyu believed wholeheartedly that he loved him, but she was actually killed by Wan Shu because of his innocent death. Before her death, he lied to distinguish his relationship with Dong Yue'er.

While regretting, she kept remembering the scenes of getting along with Lu Mingyu. She stood under the flower tree and smiled at him in a cute way. She sat there in a big red wedding dress and a veil waiting for him to lift it. She was as beautiful as a fairy who descended to earth. On the eve of her farewell, she leaned in his arms and thrust at him and asked him to leave...

But she left and didn't even see him for the last time. From now on, no girl named Lu Mingyu was born in Xianyuntang to wait for him to go home, and no girl named A Nuan acted coquettishly and cared for him.

A Nuan...

Chu Sui's heart was about to break.

God must be punishing him, punishing him for deceiving her before marriage, punishing him for knowing that Wan Shu likes him, but every time she meets, she still smiles at her out of politeness...

"Get out." Lu Zhan stood in front of the door, looking at Chu Sui who was kneeling there, and hated him to kill him. Concealing Dong Yue'er is a crime, and provoking Wan Shu to kill his granddaughter is the second crime. No matter which one is, Lu Zhan will not allow Chu Sui to disturb his granddaughter's spirit in the sky again.

Chu Sui climbed forward and kowtowed continuously, "Grandfather, please..."

"You deserve to call me grandfather?" Lu Zhan was furious and kicked Chu Sui on the shoulder, kicking him upside down, flew directly under the steps in front of the Lu family, and spitting out a mouthful of blood. This scene happened to be seen by the people of the Chu family who rushed over after hearing the news. The grandpa and the second lady of Chu cried with heartache, but were persuaded by the second master, and they were not allowed to speak for their son.

This is because their Chu family is sorry for the Lu family.

But no matter how good his attitude was, Lu Zhan did not forgive Chu Sui, and only threw a divorce letter to the Chu family. From now on, his granddaughter is still a member of the Lu family, and being a ghost has nothing to do with the Chu family. The divorce letter fell in front of him, and looking at the four sons of "grace and righteousness" above, Chu Sui finally couldn't hold on anymore and fainted.

~

When his granddaughter died, Lu Zhan completely hated the Wan family. The new and old hatreds were in harmony, which made him find a clue and report it to Emperor Minghui. When Emperor Minghui's death was involved, Emperor Minghui immediately sent someone to investigate it thoroughly. Finally, it was found that Concubine Xu was just a knife, and Empress Wan was the real murderer behind the scenes who used the knife to harm Lu Yun.

After finding out, Emperor Hui of Ming issued an order to depose the queen, granted Empress Wan three feet of white silk, and posthumously named Lu Yun as queen.

Queen Wan fell, and the Marquis Cheng'en's mansion was gone. Even the eldest son of the emperor, King Qing, was sent to a remote fiefdom.

The Wan family was the real murderer, who killed Lu Yun and Lu Mingyu, but without Lu Zhan reminding him that Emperor Minghui also remembered that his niece was implicated by Chu Sui Lian. It was easier to do it. Chu Sui knew that Dong Yue'er had just died and his grandfather was still happy with him. Dong Yue'er had a secret marriage and had a bad character, so he dismissed his official position and deprived him of the position of prince of the Duke's Mansion. The second master of Chu was incompetent to teach his children and could not bear to inherit the title.

However, Emperor Hui of Ming remembered the contributions of the ancestors of the Chu family and his great military achievements before Chu Xing's death. He could not bear the title of Duke's Mansion and no one succeeded him. Emperor Hui of Ming ordered Chu to recruit a wife to his sister Chu Ying to come to his house, and his descendants inherited the title that was originally a member of the Chu family's grandfather. This son-in-law must be approved by Emperor Hui of Ming.

Lu Zhan only hated the second wife of the Chu family and admired Chu Xing, his junior, so Chu Sui's family was punished, so he stopped paying attention to the matters behind the Chu family. He once focused on Zhu's family and tried every means to make his wife happy. On the other side, Lu Rong learned that his daughter had been a disciple of Dr. Ge in order to cure his eye disease during his lifetime. Lu Rong was ashamed and distressed. Since then, he moved to his wife and lived in front of his daughter's grave, and never went down the mountain again.

In the second year, the turmoil caused by the three families of Lu, Wan and Chu was unknowingly calmed down, and the people had other new things. For example, the wife of the Duke of Chu's mansion chose two sons-in-law for the second girl, but they were rejected by Emperor Hui of Ming, saying that the two were not worthy of being the sister-in-law of the former Duke of Chu Xing.

He was slapped in the face twice in a row, and the lady was worried about illness.

Chu Ying was also in a dilemma, unable to let her grandmother worry about her, and could not twist the emperor.

Troubled in his heart, Chu Ying greeted the lady with the wife, and then took the maid to worship his brother.

When he arrived at the cemetery, the guards guarding the ancestral tomb saw her and lowered their heads to report: "Miss Two, Lord Liao, the commander of Jinwu Guard, came to pay homage to the Duke of the Kingdom today. I just entered."

Chu Ying showed surprise, then felt relieved. Some people still remember their brother, and they were always good.

Knowing that his brother and Liao Shou were close friends, Chu Ying led the maid in. He thought that he would thank his brother when he saw Liao Shou. However, he walked to the tomb and saw no one. He only saw tea fruit offerings in front of his tomb. Three incense sticks were burning only a little bit, indicating that Liao Shou had left not long ago.

Maybe he went down the mountain from another road?

Chu Ying looked at the tea fruits and didn't think much. After silently thanking her, she put the offerings one by one with her own hands, and placing them. Thinking of her brother's kindness to her during her lifetime, she went early and didn't even leave a child. She couldn't help but feel sad and she burst into tears.

The maids stepped forward to persuade her.

Chu Ying asked them to retreat a little further. She moved to her brother's tombstone and cried intermittently for a long time before she began to tell her brother about her troubles that no one could tell her. "Brother, the emperor asked me to recruit a son-in-law, but he was not satisfied with her grandmother's choice of two. Now my grandmother is sick, it's all because of me...Brother, why are you so cruel? Dad and mother don't want me anymore, and you don't want me anymore, leave me alone..."

I cried so pitifully.

Behind a pine tree not far away, listening to the little girl's miserable crying, thinking that it was Chu Xing's real sister, Liao Shou endured it and couldn't help but secretly poked his head out and looked at the grave. Then he saw a girl in white dress kneeling there, her eyes were already swollen, and tears on her fair face were like rain, flowing non-stop.

Looking at the girl, Liao Shou tasted the taste of pity and savoring jade for the first time in his life.

However, Liao Shou didn't understand what it means to like. He just felt that he had a relationship with Chu Xing. Now that Chu Xing is dead, he only has a lonely and helpless sister. As a friend, if he ignores the sorrow of the second girl, what will he see Chu Xing in the future?

He should take care of Chu Xing's sister.

After a moment of impulse, when Liao Shou entered the palace the next day, he spoke up to propose marriage to Emperor Minghui. Anyway, he had to pass by Emperor Minghui. Of course, Liao Shou had to first find out the words with the emperor he was familiar with.

After Lu Yun's death, Emperor Hui of Ming was obsessed with political affairs all day long. He never thought about finding another love, nor did he pay attention to the major marriages of his subjects. However, Liao Shou took the initiative to marry Chu Ying. Emperor Hui thought about it and suddenly felt that Liao Shou was most suitable. Liao Shou had no father, no mother, and an orphan, and no family opposed him to marry into the family. Moreover, based on Emperor Hui's understanding of Liao Shou, he wanted to marry Chu Ying, not for the title of Duke's Mansion.

"Why did you have this idea?" Emperor Minghui put down his pen and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Liao Shou touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "I went to pay tribute to Brother Chu yesterday, and the second girl also went. I hid in the dark and saw that the second girl was crying sadly, so I wanted to take care of Brother Chu."

Emperor Minghui sneered and stared at him and asked, "If she looks extremely ugly, would you think so?"

When you see the color, you will feel the color. What excuses do you find?

Liao Shou didn't think he was attracted to Chu Ying's appearance. There were so many beauties. Emperor Hui of Ming wanted to send him a few, but he didn't want any of them, so he simply wanted to take care of Chu Xing's sister. Thinking of this, Liao Shou couldn't help but defend himself, with confidence.

Emperor Hui of Ming did not continue to pursue the matter, but only reminded Liao Shou: "Even if you marry into a marriage, it is not your turn to be a princess. If you can let the second girl give birth to a son, the title belongs to your son. If you don't have a son, you will be just a son-in-law of the Chu family."

Liao Shouyi looked indifferent: "Don't worry, my elders, I don't care about those, I just want to take care of my sister for Brother Chu."

Emperor Hui of Ming believed the first half of the sentence, but he didn't believe the one behind him at all, but he was satisfied with Liao Shou, and Chu Ying might not be satisfied. He did not want to aggrieved Chu Xing's sister. Emperor Hui of Ming ordered Mrs. Xuan and Chu Ying's grandparents and grandchildren to enter the palace, and let them look at Liao Shou in front of him.

After Lu Mingyu's death, the Chu family's status in the emperor's mind was much worse than before. How could the Madam dare to disobey the emperor's wishes? Moreover, although Liao Shou had a bad background, he was handsome and became the commander of the Jinwu Guard before he could reach his thirty years. Overall, Madam was still satisfied.

Chu Ying only looked at Liao Shou and didn't dare to look. After listening to Emperor Ming Hui's explanation, she learned that Liao Shou felt pity when she saw her crying that day. Chu Ying was both embarrassed and... grateful, thankful, Liao Shou for remembering his friendship with his brother, and would rather marry into her than take care of her.

Chu Ying had no expectations for the relationship between men and women, and it was just a trouble for her to take a marriage. Now she finally had someone who was satisfied with her grandmother and the emperor. She also had a good impression of Liao Shou, so Chu Ying agreed.

The wedding date is scheduled for October.

The cave and the house candle, Chu Ying only treated Liao Shou as his benefactor. She was nervous and shy. When she learned that Liao Shou had come, she went out to greet him openly. Liao Shou stepped into the main hall and ran into his bride at a glance, a fifteen-year-old girl, wearing a red dress and a beautiful face, like a pink rose on the wall.

As a devil, Liao Shou thought of Emperor Hui's words "I feel lustful."

Looking at Chu Ying in front of him again, Liao Shou suddenly felt a little guilty.

The man looked at her straight, with an indescribable fire hidden in his eyes. Chu Ying was also inexplicably panicked and asked with his eyes down: "Brother Liao, I, will I pour you a bowl of tea?"

Liao Shou nodded randomly. When Chu Ying went to pour tea, he winked at the two maids and told them to retreat. The maid was also tactful and brought the door of the main room when he went out. When Chu Ying heard the sound, his little hands shook unconsciously.

But she still bit her teeth and brought the tea to Liao Shou.

Liao Shou raised his head, drank it all in a few gulps.

Chu Ying pursed her lips and went to pick up the tea bowl.

Liao Shou subconsciously gave it to her. Chu Ying turned around to put the tea bowl. He couldn't help but follow behind and said clumsyly: "Miss Second Girl, I am a rough man. I haven't read a few books since I was a child. Now we are husband and wife. What's wrong with me in the future? Just tell me, I will listen to you."

Chu Ying looked down at the tea bowl, and Yu Guang swept the red robe on him, and she whispered: "Brother Liao is too humble. You are a hero. For the sake of your friendship with my brother, you are willing to marry into the Chu family to take care of me. I have implicated you. From now on, I will try my best to be a good wife and repay Brother Liao's kindness."

This was too polite. Liao Shoushou felt guilty. Looking at her sweet side face, Liao Shou touched his head and his voice lowered: "What are you implicated or not? You, you are so beautiful. If Brother Chu hadn't gone early, he wouldn't have married you to a rough man like me."

He praised her for her beauty, and Chu Ying slowly blushed and turned her head shyly.

Seeing her like this, Liao Shou couldn't help but say what he said in his heart, "Miss Second Girl, I really saw you crying pitifully at first, so I wanted to take care of you. Later, I proposed a marriage with the emperor, and the emperor scolded me for being lustful. I, I... I can't tell what it is for now. Anyway, we have already gotten married, so remember that I will treat you well and will never let you suffer any grievance."

He said it straightforwardly and simplely. Chu Ying was so embarrassed that she lowered her head and held her small hand. After a while, she nodded and said in a soft voice: "I remember."

Liao Shou smiled and looked at her foolishly.

Chu Ying was so panicked by him that he looked at him. His eyes fell on the teapot and he hurriedly asked, "Does Brother Liao still drink tea?"

I just drank so fast, I must be thirsty.

Liao Shou looked at his beautiful wife and his head could not move for a long time. He nodded no matter what she said.

Chu Ying poured him another bowl, but Liao Shou still looked at her. Even when he was drinking tea, his black eyes were about to look at her. Chu Ying became more and more panicked and turned over in shame. Liao Shou put down the tea bowl and looked at her slim figure. He finally became smarter.

"Miss Second, are we going to sleep?" He walked behind her, his voice unable to hide his hoarseness.

Chu Ying nodded almost inaudiblely.

Liao Shou was overjoyed and picked up the person. When he got on the bed, he was careful.

"Miss Second, I will treat you well..."

In the warm tent, when Liao Shou truly saw Chu Ying's beauty, he could only say this, saying it while kissing.

"You, call me Yingying." Chu Ying said as if she was crying.

Liao Shou paused, then immediately changed his name and called her nickname one by one.

And just when the couple was tender and sweet, Chu Sui was lying on the bed alone in the Yiyun Hall, unable to help but feel sad about the scene and remembered his wedding night with Lu Mingyu. That night she was so beautiful and very cute. He wanted to take off her clothes, but she hid around with a red face, but she refused.

Finally, she was suppressed by him. Her peach blossom eyes were as bright as autumn water, and she looked at him shyly and seriously, "Chu Sui, you promised to be nice to me. Then you have to listen to me in everything from now on. Don't bully me. If you dare to bully me, I will go back to my parents' home and ignore you again."

At that time, he was anxious to ask for her and agreed without hesitation.

She believed it and smiled so satisfied.

But he didn't do it, so she really left and ignored him again, not even seeing him in her dream.
