Lu Xuan woke up early in the morning and heard that Mu Siyu had brought spicy shrimps yesterday. After hesitating for a while, he asked his servants to bring the shrimps and ate spicy food early in the morning.
Gu Yidao walked in and said in a calm tone: "Do you want to know what happened to the Miao family after you left?"
Lu Xuan pointed to the opposite side: "Sit down and say, do you want to try something?"
Gu Yidao sat down opposite Lu Xuan, looking at him eagerly with a pair of cold eyes, as if waiting to be fed.
Lu Xuan pushed the shrimp in front of him and moved it towards Gu Yidao.
The servant standing nearby brought a basin and asked Gu Yidao to clean his hands.
Gu Yidao reported the news he had learned while peeling the shrimp shells.
"The Mr. Wang who is at odds with you has tainted the innocence of Miss Miao Er. This matter has spread and caused a huge uproar."
Lu Xuan stopped peeling shrimps and looked up at Gu Yidao: "Master Wang?"
"That's right." Gu Yidao sucked the shell of the shrimp, "My subordinates have inquired about it, and Miss Miao Er thought that the person in the room was you, my lord, so she threw herself into her arms and made an mistake."
Lu Xuan: "..."
Is the woman from the Miao family just staring at him?
"Master Miao finally found out about Mrs. Miao and her daughter, so he will definitely take this opportunity to remove the thorn in his side. Such a scandal spread in a short period of time, is it his handiwork?"
"That's right."
"The water in the Miao family is too deep, so we should have less contact with it in the future." Lu Xuan said calmly, "But after this incident, Mr. Miao must have understood what I meant and will not do anything to embarrass me again."
Miao Minglei was a well-rounded man. Knowing that he had no intention of being interested in Miao Wenjing, he would definitely not have any interest in him. Otherwise, this would not be a marriage, but a feud.
"One more thing." Gu Yidao stopped, picked up the handkerchief next to him, wiped his hands, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "After hearing this news, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to eat shrimp."
"Tell me and listen." Lu Xuan put down the shrimp and cleaned his hands.
"The Emperor did not cancel the marriage between Miss Chu and Young Prince Jun." Gu Yidao looked into Lu Xuan's eyes and said, "He directly gave Miss Chu a new marriage."
Lu Xuan clenched his fists.
"Who is it this time?"
"Qizhen who guards the border."
"Qi Zhen? A member of the Qi family."
The Qi family are the emperor's confidants.
One is Qi Xiao and the other is Qi Zhen, both are members of the Qi family.
Qi Zhen is different from Qi Xiao. Qi Xiao is still a direct descendant of the Qi family, while Qi Zhen is a side branch and a concubine.
"The wedding date has been set. In half a month, someone will be sent to take Miss Chu to the border to get married." Gu Yidao said, "Master Xia said that the Duke of Chu has committed something recently and angered the emperor, so he will marry Miss Chu directly.
Qi Zhen, who has no backstage, is a blow to the Duke of Chu. Everyone knows that the Qi family is in the hands of the emperor. However, the original marriage contract between the Fenyang Palace and the Duke of Chu was not even mentioned by the emperor.
The fact that the daughter-in-law who originally belonged to the Fenyang Palace married someone else is also a warning to the Fenyang Palace. It can be said that this move will shake the mountain and shake the tiger, and the court will have to calm down for a while."
"I understand." Lu Xuan leaned on the chair and closed his eyes, "I want to be alone for a while."
"I understand." Chu Ningzhu looked out the window, "Mommy, tell mother that I won't mess around anymore. This time, I will marry you."
Mu Jin looked at Chu Ningzhu worriedly: "Miss..."
"Qi Zhen is a hero. I don't know how many times he is stronger than Geng Qianjun. Why should I be dissatisfied?" Chu Ningzhu said, "I understand what my parents mean. The emperor has been quite dissatisfied with our Chu family recently. If I make trouble again
If anything happens, the entire Chu family will be affected."
"What about Mr. Lu? Don't you want it?" Mu Jin understands Chu Ningzhu's heart better than anyone else.
Chu Ningzhu was full of joy yesterday, thinking that she and Lu Xuan would have a future. Anyway, her reputation was ruined by Geng Qianjun, and ordinary people would not marry a woman like her. They thought she could escape from a dead end, but
I don’t know that the chess pieces are chess pieces after all, and only the chess player is qualified to decide where they will land.
"No, no, no," Chu Ningzhu said, "It's cold on the border, Hibiscus, you don't have to come with me. I'll find a good family for you in the house and marry you!"
"The slave must follow the lady." Mu Jin refused, "Where the lady is, the slave must go."
Chu Ningzhu received a letter from the concierge in the afternoon, signed by Mu Siyu, inviting her to the Lu family.
When she saw Lu Xuan in the pavilion, she didn't feel strange at all.
"When I saw that letter, I had a guess in my heart that the person who really wants to see me should be you. As expected, it seems that our long-term friendship has not been in vain!"
She smiled easily and comfortably, without any hint of sadness.
"What are your plans?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Well, are you referring to this engagement?" Chu Ningzhu looked at the pond next to her, "Of course I will marry happily! Compared to the previous fiancé, isn't this very good? Qi Zhen is a person
I have seen him, he is a hero."
"It's a long way from here to the border. It's possible that something unexpected happens during the process..."
"Brother Lu..." Chu Ningzhu looked back at him, "This time... I won't run away."
Lu Xuan looked at her. Tears were clearly rolling in her eyes, but there was a smile on her face.
"Really, I won't run away this time." Chu Ningzhu repeated what she just said, "You have to be good and find a good girl. I will bless you from afar."
Lu Xuan stood in front of the pavilion and watched Chu Ningzhu disappear.
She didn't look back.
Mu Siyu came out from behind: "Now that we leave, there is really no chance for you."
"My eldest brother once said something. At that time, I didn't understand what it meant, but now I understand."
"What?"
"Only the strong can keep what they want."
When Chu Ningzhu left, Lu Xuan didn't go to see her off, Mu Siyu and Su Zhiliu went instead.
"You two should write to me often." Chu Ningzhu said, "Even if I am far away from the border, you must not forget me."
"You have to take good care of yourself." Su Zhiliu said, "If you are missing something, just tell me and I will send someone to bring it to you."
"That's good." Chu Ningzhu said, "When I get to the border, I will make a long list, and then I'll hit you hard."
"Stretch out your hand." Mu Siyu said.
Chu Ningzhu stretched out her arm.
Mu Siyu put a bracelet on her hand.
"I found someone to modify this. This circle of silver is wrapped with a hidden weapon. Press this button to shoot out a fine needle. This is for your self-defense." Mu Siyu said, "Goodbye, Chu Chu.
"
Chu Ningzhu got on the carriage and the carriage was driving.
She opened the curtain and looked at the top of the city wall.
There was a white figure there, just like when they first met.
