Lu Shiqing almost thought he was hard of hearing.
How could Yuan Shichen, who always treasured his sister, do such a heinous thing? Such behavior was obviously something that only a brother like him could do.
But Yuan Cixian looked very aggrieved, and said with a pursed mouth: "My sister-in-law is pregnant, and my brother doesn't love me anymore. Just because I snatched a chicken leg from my sister-in-law during dinner, he got angry with me... You say, how is this different from kicking me out? I tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep, so I ran away from home. Now I don't even have a place to live, so I can only come to you for help. You won't bear to see me become a prostitute, right?"
"… "
Wandering, wandering like a ghost!
Lu Shiqing looked around: "Are you alone?"
Yuan Cixian nodded: "It's absolutely true. This time even Xiao Hei doesn't want to follow me." After that, she pressed the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, looking tearful.
Hearing this, he tilted his head and asked Cao An, "Did you alarm the old lady?"
"I don't think so."
Seeing that he was hesitant, Yuan Cixian quickly interrupted and said, "It's said that it's cold at high places. This wall is really too cold. You can consider it, but can you let me go down and warm up first?"
"..." Lu Shiqing looked up at her desolate silhouette, sighed, and stretched out his hand to signal her, "Come down."
Yuan Cixian carefully crossed her other leg over, and suddenly remembered the method that Xu Ruqing had mentioned to achieve twice the result with half the effort. A kiss would be too easy for Lu Shiqing, but throwing herself into his arms was not a bad idea. After all, she didn't want to be chased out of the mansion by him after landing.
She had made up her mind and she slipped very cleverly. With a cry of "ouch", she fell down with her bag.
The two people below were almost scared to death by her. They stepped forward and reached out to take it, but Lu Shiqing was in front, so Yuan Cixian fell steadily into his arms.
He held her with his arms, but frowned. He immediately turned around while holding her, glanced at the torch Cao An had thrown away in a hurry, and asked, "What did you want to do just now?"
He was so anxious that he dropped the torch. What was he trying to do
Cao An picked up the torch silently with stiff hands, not daring to look up at the two people, and said with his head down: "My hand slipped for a moment, please forgive me, my lord."
Lu Shiqing said coldly in a deep voice: "Go to the East Cross Courtyard to arrange a place to stay, and keep quiet."
Yuan Cixian was delighted, but pretended to be frightened and kept patting his chest.
Seeing Cao An hurried away, Lu Shiqing lowered his head to look at her.
This girl was plotting against him. She knew he couldn't refuse, so she did it.
Seeing his slightly chilly gaze, Yuan Cixian felt a little guilty and wanted to divert his attention. She knew that the seduction could not stop, so she quickly stretched out her arms to hug his neck and muttered, "Well, my legs are weak and I can't walk anymore, you carry me..."
Lu Shiqing's eyes suddenly changed, from a sharp knife to boiling hot molten iron. He turned his eyes away, calmed down, and carried her to the east wing.
This was the first time he hugged her when she was awake. The touch was familiar, but there was something different, especially her pair of sparkling eyes staring straight at his jaw, as if she was ready to bite him at any time, which really made his heart beat wildly.
But he couldn't show it. He just walked with steady steps, calmly tilted his head to an angle that showed off his beautiful body, and then said calmly: "Why don't you say hello to your brother first? If he whips me again, I really won't be able to help the world."
Yuan Cixian thought that she had left a note with her brother long ago, but she couldn't tell Lu Shiqing, so she pretended to be angry and said, "I don't want to pay attention to him."
Lu Shiqing did not insist any more. After all, this was exactly what he wanted.
He failed to persuade the reconciliation as Xu Shan, and later went to consult his master's wife to ask why this matter was so. Xu Ruqing was busy packing his luggage and preparing to go to Luoyang, leaving only six words for him: Go to the door to apologize and the reconciliation will be resolved.
He thought this was the only way, so he made a plan. Tomorrow, the fifteenth, would be the day of the Grand Court Festival. He would be able to see Yuan Yu in the palace then. Starting with him, it would be a good idea to go to Yuan Mansion as a natural progression.
Now, he has saved himself a lot of trouble.
He was lost in thought, and the strength in his hands loosened a little. Yuan Cixian felt that half of his body was hanging outside, and he quickly pulled him and said, "Hold on tight, I'm going to fall!"
Lu Shiqing came to his senses, frowned and said coldly: "If it's too much trouble, just go by yourself." Before he finished speaking, he tightened his arms and rolled her in.
It was too tight now, and his jade pendant was digging into her waist.
But Yuan Cihan didn't dare to complain about him out loud anymore, so he quietly reached out his hand and tried to pull up the jade pendant and move it to another place. Unexpectedly, this pull seemed to activate some mechanism, and it ripped his entire belt apart.
Yuan Cixian was horrified.
Lu Shiqing froze and stopped, looking at her and his loosened robe in disbelief.
"I..." She looked up in astonishment, only to then realize that she had mistaken the jade hook on his belt for a jade pendant. "I didn't mean to..." After saying that, she hurriedly raised her hand, trying to buckle it back.
Unexpectedly, it was easier to undress than to put on. Her hands were shaking so much that she couldn't button her clothes successfully.
Lu Shiqing only knew that he couldn't free his hands, and in his great shock, he forgot that he could have put her down. By the time he was clear-headed, it was too late.
In the distance, someone gasped and exclaimed, "My son...!"
Yuan Cixian paused and her whole body collapsed.
Lu Shiqing also froze, slowly raised his head, and saw Xuan standing in the opposite corridor.
From Xuan's perspective, all she could see was a thin man whose face could not be discerned lying in her son's arms, with his head tilted back as he struggled to fix his loose belt.
That’s right, Yuan Cixian certainly wore men’s clothes when she went out.
This is a big misunderstanding.
Xuan was awakened by the previous noise and got up specially to check. Seeing this, she almost couldn't catch her breath. She was stunned for a long while and quickly walked forward.
Yuan Cixian's face turned red, and she buried her head in Lu Shiqing's waist, refusing to be seen by her future mother-in-law.
Xuan came close to the two of them, and was so angry that she couldn't speak clearly: "Well, what have you done! Mother has been so worried about your marriage all these years, looking for young ladies from this family and arranging young ladies for you... Now you actually told Mother that you actually... you...! You are the only son of the Lu family, are you worthy of your dead father?"
She misunderstood that he had a homosexual tendency.
Lu Shiqing had no choice but to pull Yuan Cixian's hair up, and when her black hair fell down, he said, "No, mother, you misunderstood."
Xuan was stunned. Oh, look at this long black hair, it looks like a young lady.
She finally took a breath and recovered, but soon felt something was wrong again: "Well, what are you doing! Are you worthy of the Princess of Lancang County for having such an affair with this unclear young lady?"
Lu Shiqing, Yuan Cixian: "..."
Xuan's chest rose and fell with anger, and her eyes were raised: "What did you promise to my mother after you returned to the capital? Did you promise my mother that you would go to Yuanfu to propose marriage after the King of Diannan came to the capital?"
Yuan Cixian suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Shiqing.
Lu Shiqing looked down at her and denied it flatly: "Mother, I never promised you!"
"How dare you go back on your word with your mother?" Xuan said to herself, "Throw this person out of the house now. Tonight, she's the only one left, but I'm the only one left. If you insist on keeping her, you're denying me as your mother! Remember, except for Miss Yuan, no one else can enter my Lu Mansion!"
Lu Shiqing and Yuan Cixian looked at each other and saw the taste of compromise in each other's eyes.
Yuan Cixian jumped down from his arms, straightened her messed up hair, showed her face and said hesitantly: "Madam Lu... I am very happy to hear you say that... But I was kicked out of the house by my brother. If you don't take me in tonight, I'm afraid I will never see me enter your Lu Mansion again..." After saying this, she looked like she was about to cry.
Xuan saw her face clearly and was shocked. She glanced at her son who was struggling to buckle his belt, pulled her behind her to protect her, and then scolded Lu Shiqing again: "What the hell are you doing! Miss Yuan came here out of desperation, and you actually did such a shameful thing!"
Lu Shiqing: “…”
Yuan Cihan was half blocked by Xuan, and she looked at him embarrassedly, biting her lip.
Lu Shiqing didn't want to explain. He probably picked it up anyway, so he just admitted his guilt and apologized: "Mother, all the mistakes are my fault. Starting tomorrow, I will copy Buddhist scriptures for you for three days to correct my moral behavior."
Xuan then hummed softly and reluctantly accepted it. She patted Yuan Cixian's hand to signal her not to be afraid, and then asked her, "Where was he going to take you?"
Yuan Cixian smiled at Lu Shiqing as if to comfort him, and replied, "East Cross Courtyard."
Xuan sneered: "You don't know, the East Wing Courtyard is separated from his main courtyard by a wall. He did this on purpose!"
Lu Shiqing: “…”
She continued, "Don't fall into his trap. Stay at my place tonight."
Yuan Cixian felt miserable. She wanted to fall into his trap, she really wanted to fall into his trap.
But he had to show gratitude on his face, holding Xuan's hand and said, "Thank you, Madam Lu, for taking me in."
*
Yuan Cihan stayed in the house next to Xuan's for one night. When the cock crowed, she slipped out quietly. Relying on her memory of the last time she came to Lu's house, she crouched and hid here and there all the way and finally found her way to Lu Shiqing's yard.
It's not that she is restless, it's just that she has to go out to do something today and needs his help.
She connected the clues in her dream yesterday and thought about it again, and felt it necessary to remind Zheng Zhuo to pay attention to the Jiang family.
First of all, the Jiang family plotted against him because they undoubtedly saw the possibility that he might ascend to the throne in the future and wanted to curry favor with the powerful.
Secondly, according to the inference, the Yuan family was defeated in the winter two years later, and at that time, Jiang Bican had not yet given birth to an heir. This means that the Jiang family's calculations on Zheng Zhuo must have been at the beginning of the year after next. Now, Zheng Zhuo is still taking the "secret road", and most people, including the Jiang family, have not yet noticed his ambitions.
Logically speaking, she could wait and see for a while, and didn't need to rush to tell him about this matter. But the key point was that she remembered something - as early as when she first came to Chang'an, Jiang Birou had been trying to match her with Zheng Zhuo.
At that time, Yuan Cihan also wondered whether she, as her brother's bedmate, was really so naive and had no idea about the private dealings between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo. Now she finally got the answer.
Jiang Birou couldn't have been unaware of this. She tried her best to bring the two together, but in fact, she didn't do it for the result, but to test Zheng Zhuo's desire to seize the throne through this marriage and through the two siblings.
Just like when Yuan Cixian lied to Yuan Yu and said that she wanted to marry Zheng Zhuo in order to test him, she ended up getting the truth out of him and guessed the relationship between the Yuan family and Zheng Zhuo.
In other words, Jiang Birou knew everything several months ago, and most likely told her second uncle, the Supreme Court Minister of Justice. And this incident did not happen in her previous life.
In this life, Yuan Cixian came to Chang'an in midsummer when she was sixteen years old, which may have caused Zheng Zhuo to be exposed to the Jiang family in advance.
She no longer had to worry about whether Zheng Zhuo could be trusted. When facing the Jiang family, he was her ally.
Because of the killing during the Ullambana Festival, Zheng Zhuo was punished to go to Wangji Temple to chant scriptures and pray on the first and fifteenth day of every month, so she chose to visit Princess Shaohe who was also meditating there today, and find a chance to meet him.
When she entered Lu Shiqing's yard, she saw at a glance that he was dressed neatly and walking out hurriedly. It seemed that he was going to court. She quickly stopped him and explained her purpose.
Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and said uncomfortably: "Why must we choose the fifteenth to visit Princess Shaohe?"
