In the evening, before Lu Xiaoshu rested, she could hear the sound of knocking on the window. Looking at the figure reflected on the window paper through the window, she knew it was Zhou Shizhi. window.
Zhou Shizhi leaped forward lightly from the outside, and said with a smile, "Haven't you slept yet?"
Lu Xiaoshu scolded him: "Nonsense! Who is in front of you after sleeping? How is your injury? The guards in our house are much stricter now than before!"
"Is my daughter-in-law worried about me?" Zhou Shizhi held her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, no matter how strict and powerful the guards in your house are, I will still come to see you!"
He stared at her affectionately, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't take it anymore, his face was slightly hot, he took his hand out of his palm, turned around and sat down at the round table, and asked with a smile: "Come here , but something happened?"
"Of course there is something to do," Zhou Shizhi smiled, and sat down next to her, "I have a gift for you!"
"Gift? Give it to me?" Lu Xiaoshu was puzzled immediately, and couldn't help laughing, "It's neither a holiday nor my birthday. What is it?"
Zhou Shizhi sighed softly, and said leisurely: "Didn't you say today that you are going to buy jewelry for your little aunt and sister? You reminded me! We have been together for so long, and I am only busy with things, and I have never What gift did I give you, the two of us didn't even have a token, did we!"
Lu Xiaoshu was startled unknowingly. Hearing his rather resentful tone, and the origin of this tone was due to such a reason, she couldn't help biting her lips, resisting the urge to burst out laughing, and said, "The token? You made a special trip for me sent this?"
"Yes!" Zhou Shizhi nodded, and said, "I can't find any good things in a hurry. When we go back to Qilin Villa, we can pick two more good ones! Take a look, do you like it?"
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized vermilion brocade box from his pocket, opened it and brought it to Lu Xiaoshu.
I saw two emerald carvings on the red soft silk lining, both oval in shape, one is a dragon and the other is a phoenix, surrounded by auspicious clouds, with a lifelike expression, the material is crystal clear like a pool of spring water, in the dim yellow Glittering under the light.
Just by looking at it, you can tell that it must have a heavy texture and a strong texture.
This is still a good thing that can't be found in a hurry, so what should be the real good thing!
Lu Xiaoshu was pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile, "What a beautiful emerald! It's so green!"
"As long as you like it, I'll wear it for you!" Seeing that she liked it, Zhou Shizhi was pleased with himself, so he picked up a piece of the carved phoenix, put it around her neck, and said with a smile, "Once you put it on, you won't be allowed to wear it." Pick it off! When we get married, I will personally pick it for you on the wedding night of the bridal chamber... "
"You!" Lu Xiaoshu was sweet and ashamed in his heart, humming, speechless.
Seeing her shyness, Zhou Shizhi couldn't help curling his lips into a chuckle, and said, "That's the deal, you can't play tricks!"
Lu Xiaoshu coquettishly said, "Who is playing tricks?"
Zhou Shizhi chuckled, "It's fine if you don't have one!" He leaned over again, "Put it on for me too."
Lu Xiaoshu smiled slightly, and helped him put on the other pendant as promised. Zhou Shizhi held her hand, the two looked at each other and just smiled, neither spoke.
"Xiao Shu," Zhou Shizhi suddenly embraced her in his arms, buried his head on her neck, and said softly like a sigh, "I consider myself a very tolerant person. I have been planning one step at a time and I am still planning now, and I have never been impatient. But now, I am a little anxious, and I just want to marry you into the door as soon as possible, so as not to worry about it every day."
"Then you, come to propose marriage!" Lu Xiaoshu raised his lips and chuckled silently, his eyes were bright and cunning, "I never said that I would marry you only after you were restored to the title!"
Zhou Shizhi sighed softly, with some helplessness in his sigh, and said with a smile: "Under such circumstances, how could your father be willing to marry you to me! I can only hope that the emperor will find Lu Xiang's descendants soon! "
"Is there no news yet?" Lu Xiaoshu raised his head from his embrace, feeling slightly worried for him, and said, "It's not a good thing if this kind of thing drags on for a long time."
Although he made great contributions, the contribution was too great, and it was a matter of embarrassment to the emperor and even the entire royal family.
To put it bluntly, he had seen the most embarrassing appearance of the emperor in his life. Who knows if he would feel awkward when he saw him one day
Ordinary people find others feel awkward, at most they can avoid it, and the emperor finds an excuse to kill him to save future troubles!
In addition, his identity is inherently embarrassing, if it continues like this, it may be harmful rather than beneficial.
"Don't worry," Zhou Shizhi knew what she was worried about, smiled softly, and said softly, "I think, there is almost a clue! The emperor has already released the rumors of overturning the case. As long as Lu Xiang's son is still alive, he will surely Stand up! Don't say that his father's grievances have to be avenged, isn't he waiting for such a day with such a thing in his hand?"
Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Lu Xiaoshu felt at ease, so he nodded and smiled.
Zhou Shizhi pulled her to sit down again, held her hand and asked with a smile, "What good things did you buy today? Did you find anything you wanted? If not, I'll ask someone to buy it for you."
"Don't mention it!" Lu Xiaoshu pouted immediately, and said, "It's unlucky to meet Lu Yiqing today! But, hehe, it was a good show! This person really can't be evil, You can't live without committing crimes!"
Zhou Shizhi raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Did you see a good show? Lu Yiqing was deflated? Now she is relying on the support of the princess, and there are not many people and things that make her willingly deflate. Let me guess, Could it be that you met someone from the Liu family?"
"How do you know!" Lu Xiaoshu was very surprised.
Zhou Shizhi sneered, "I always have to inquire about things related to her, so I can rest assured when I make preparations! The wedding of the Li family and the Liu family is coming soon, at least for a long time, she will not be able to take care of herself!"
After all, Zhou Shizhi was still worried. Lu Yiqing was vicious and vicious, and the princess was arrogant, selfish, impulsive and brainless; if she was provoked by Lu Yiqing, she would not think of the Marquis of Changping, the prince, the only one The criterion for judging things is whether she is happy or not, happy or not!
Lu Xiaoshu's heart warmed up: She knew that he always protected her the most! Everything is willing to consider for her well-planned. The eyes looking at him felt a little more gentle.
Even if her life is completely in his hands, she can sit back and relax!
Besides, after Lu Yiqing returned to the mansion, she was restless for several days. If so, she had to cheer up and help the mansion to make various preparations for Li Guanghao to marry Miss Liu Yan of the Liu family.
Seeing her like this, everyone thought that Liu Yan was going to enter the house and she felt uncomfortable—this is also human nature, some sympathized with her, some gloated at her misfortune, some waited for a good show, and some didn't take it seriously...
It's just that it hinders Mrs. Li, those who sympathize with her will take the initiative to say a few words or comfort her when they meet her, and the rest will not dare to ridicule and ridicule immediately.
Seeing her like this, Old Madam Li also sighed inwardly, couldn't help pity her, and promised her in private: "Qing'er, don't worry, what my old lady said must be true! After Miss Liu's family enters the door, I will take you as a concubine! From now on, you two sisters will get along well and serve and manage your husband well together. After two or three years, you will give birth to a child, and no one in this mansion will dare to look down on you! This life will be complete, what do you think? ?”
After the old lady Li finished speaking, she seemed to be casual but secretly looked at her carefully, smiling and waiting for her answer.
Although Li Guanghao was ineffective, he was already his own man after all. Now a woman came for no reason, not only snatched away her man, but also crushed her, and she was also a sinner she had inadvertently committed, how can that feel good
What two sisters? She doesn't need it!
"Qing'er, what are you thinking?" Lu Yiqing was distracted for a while, and Mrs. Li couldn't help asking with a smile when she didn't see her answer.
Lu Yiqing suddenly regained consciousness and shuddered secretly. Although Mrs. Li was smiling, there was already a touch of coldness in her tone.
Lu Yiqing naturally understood what the old lady was worried about.
She was concerned about whether Lu Yiqing was jealous! If she behaved a little bit, she was sure that the old lady would never see her again from now on!
After all, no matter how good she is and how dedicated she is, she is still a concubine of her grandson. How can she compare with the serious wife
However, she, Lu Yiqing, is also an upright daughter-in-law! If it wasn't for his grandson's lack of virtue after drinking, how could he have fallen into the status of a half-servant? That's also the mistress of a respectable family!
"Old lady," Lu Yiqing knew that he had been absent-minded for too long just now, and if he turned around abruptly, he might be hiding it.
She simply didn't turn around, but the gloomy look on her face deepened, and she frowned, and she said frowningly: "Old lady, I don't know the temperament and preferences of Miss Liu, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve you well." Displease her..."
She acted so realistically that Mrs. Li didn't see the slightest clue. She relaxed in her heart and said with a smile: "You know the general situation and know how to advance and retreat. As long as you are good, she will naturally treat you the same! Don't worry, the Liu family The family education is very strict. Ms. Liu is a well-educated, gentle and virtuous lady. She will definitely not be jealous like that vulgar fool! You have always been the smartest and do things very well! My old man believes that you We will get along well!"
Listening carefully, Mrs. Li's words were mostly persuading her to be low-key and serve the Miss Liu's family submissively. She didn't say a word to comfort her or to support her.
Lu Yiqing couldn't help being secretly disappointed and chilled, thinking about it, why should he be disappointed or chilled? Then Miss Liu's family is the serious granddaughter-in-law of this old lady, what is she? No matter how much she loves herself, she can't compare to Miss Liu's!
