It seemed that he saw through his own tricks.
But so what
Yesterday's open and secret struggle had already come to an end, even if Xue Kuang had more unwillingness in his heart, it could only be turned into bitter water and swallowed it himself.
Lu Jinxi walked in from the outside without hesitation, and also stood in the hall and looked at the painting hanging in front of him. It was the first time that he could see the murderous aura from the ink.
I don't know if it's because of the current situation
She bent her lips and said, "Before setting up a game for Gu Juefei, you probably didn't think you would lose, right?"
"I thought about losing, but I didn't expect to lose to a woman in the end." Xue Kuang was unexpectedly peaceful, "Or, I didn't expect to lose to the so-called 'ex-wife'. After all, you are not her, neither good nor weak."
The former wife, Mrs. Lu, in his mouth was actually a "she" that was neither light nor heavy, neither cold nor hot, Lu Jinxi felt somewhat embarrassed when he heard it.
"She wasted eleven years for you in this back house. Have you ever felt guilty for this woman who once fell in love with you?"
To be honest, the situation at this time is a bit strange.
It's a strange peeling feeling.
It was obvious that the "person" they were talking about was standing in this hall, but whether it was "she" herself or Xue Kuang, every word and word seemed to be talking about another person who was not here.
It's just that they didn't feel anything wrong, it was very natural.
As early as yesterday in court, Xue Kuang had already guessed a lot of things. Facing Lu Jinxi's question, he was silent for a moment, but in the end he smiled and asked, "Why do you think it's me who should feel guilty?"
Lu Jinxi looked at him and said nothing.
However, Xue Kuang walked to the side and slowly poured a cup of tea for her, revealing the old scar on his wrist.
"Xue Mou is also the one who was given marriage. His heart is like iron. It's you, how do you choose?"
The Sacred Heart is iron.
She was shocked for a moment by such a straightforward and even rebellious word, but then she knew that Xue Kuang had seen it clearly from beginning to end.
"You don't want to tell me that you brought back the concubine born by Orchid on purpose, right? The purpose is to not want to accept this marriage. But I didn't expect that even though Mrs. Lu had already begged to the gate of the palace, The emperor has not changed his mind."
"You are really smart."
Xue Kuang had been in the army for half his life, and he had come into contact with very few women, and even very few had a good impression of him, almost none.
In his life, it seems that he was only born for this family and for the war in this world.
But Lu Jinxi may be an accident.
Her appearance made him realize for the first time that the so-called pleasure of conquest can also be realized in a woman. Although she actually stood on the opposite side of him, was his enemy, hated him, hated him, but he couldn't control himself, couldn't help but be attracted by the hypocritical language hidden in her sincerity, and couldn't help but speak eloquently for her When the moving demeanor is reversed.
This is an unprecedented interest.
Xue Kuang did not look back at her, but continued to say: "If I don't marry her, Xue's family will be disobedient to the decree; if I marry her, the world will stab me in the spine and say that I have missed her life. But when we got married, she and I were just strangers. Why, I have to like her, as if I didn't like her, it would be a big mistake? As for the life in the back house, which family has no secrets and is away all year round, Xue Mou Not God. Just like the play you sang yesterday, you know better than anyone that foolish people always pity the weak, and you control their emotions in your hands. But your heart is just like me, cruel and cold In the end, for you, it's just the joys and sorrows of others."
Relationships are never wishful thinking. No one can press his head and force him to like a woman he doesn't like.
Xue Kuang never felt guilty in his heart.
Because he knew very well that the seemingly powerful self was in essence nothing more than the Lu family, and was in a weak position to be manipulated by others.
The tears of the weak can always win sympathy, but the sadness of the strong is often neglected.
The tea was ready, Xue Kuang handed it to her: "Drink tea?"
Lu Jinxi glanced at him and took it, but neither drinking nor thanking him, he just said lightly, "I'm different from you."
"In your eyes, all the people are just stupid people without their own judgment, that's why you dared to completely abandon the law in court yesterday and just sell the word 'miserable'. You know they won't suspect such a thing. A poor woman, as I know they won't doubt a me who sheds blood for the country."
Xue Kuang laughed, knowing what to expect.
"What's the difference between you and me?"
"Gu Juefei is different from you, but I am the same as him." Lu Jinxi didn't answer directly, but gave a point that Xue Kuang could easily understand, "What he doesn't agree with about you is exactly what I don't agree with. agreed."
"I'm beginning to understand why Gu Juefei was so fascinated by you that he didn't even want to die." Xue Kuang's low voice suddenly added a hint of danger, "Until this time I was talking to you, Xue Mou I regret it a little, before I go to court, I should beat that Zhao Mingde and let him sentence you to me."
"But you didn't after all."
Lu Jinxi was extremely calm, and there was no trace of worry or worry in her expression.
"Because you know that Gu Juefei can think of what you can think of, and even what you haven't thought of yet, he will plan ahead. You can't do anything with him. Even if you do something in private, you may be caught by him instead. Hold on to the handle, and in the end, the hands and feet were not made, but instead they harmed themselves."
It is true, word for word.
He and Gu Juefei had a life-threatening fight as early as ten years ago. Now, although everyone is fighting openly and secretly in the court, and using other people's lips to criticize each other, it can fall on them, but they are more cautious than each other.
But this just gave Lu Jinxi room to play, and he miscalculated.
Xue Kuang still smiled: "If you had come a few years earlier and you were the one who was given the marriage, I would definitely fall in love with you, even more desperate than Gu Juefei."
"It's too late."
The other party was actually making fun of him, but unfortunately, Lu Jinxi didn't have the slightest smile on his face.
"And even if you can fall in love with me, I can't be tempted by a ruthless man who raises his soldiers with war and doesn't care about life and death."
"You seem to know me well."
Xue Kuang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Lu Jinxi glanced at the tea cup with the right temperature in his hand, and said lightly, "I don't know much about it, but after reading the battle report about your border battle for five or six years, I can almost recite it."
"Hahaha… "
This is really unexpected.
Xue Kuang knew that she had read her own battle report. After all, the whimsical stories that came out of Xue Chi's mouth were wild, but they all matched the border war.
It's just that he didn't expect that she saw so much.
No wonder.
If someone has conducted meticulous and meticulous analysis and research on the battle report, and is a little skeptical, it is not difficult to see a clue from it.
Xue Kuang stared at her eyes, only to feel that the woman in front of her was approaching a calm perfection in terms of appearance, temperament, and wisdom.
In fact, even counting today, they have only met three times.
But from her, he discovered a new possibility that he had never tried before.
This might be dangerous, but it was wrapped in a nice coat that gave him the urge to go all-out in the moment before writing and leaving the book.
Or rather, the urge to try.
So he looked at her for a moment, and said slowly: "The book of Heli has not yet been printed, and you still have a chance to go back. And I'm sure, I will be tempted for you."
