They just met each other for the first time, so they shouldn't have asked this question.
However, the Qilin Society is right in front of you, and it will be too late if you don't ask.
Kou Wei's expression was very sincere: "It's a bit presumptuous to ask, but if the girl needs help, just ask."
The surprise on Lu Mingshu's face flashed past, and then he smiled slightly: "Thank you, Senior Brother Kou, for your kindness."
Senior Brother Kou finally called it more naturally.
It's funny to say, she has been in Jiuyao Palace for so long, the first person who made her feel like a senior brother was an outsider.
Kou Wei continued: "We are neither relatives nor relatives, so we can't talk about this matter. However, it is possible to disturb this muddy water. Whether it's Junior Brother Qi or me, as long as the girl speaks."
Lu Mingshu was stunned for a moment. Is this... what she thought it meant
"Master, senior brother?" Qi Sheng was listening, his face turned red quickly, "This..."
Kou Wei laughed and said, "Of course it's a lie. After all, it's an elder. If Miss Lu refuses, she needs an excuse."
Lu Mingshu was silent, and saluted again: "Thank you for your willingness to lend a helping hand, but it's not to this point right now."
Kou Wei nodded: "You just know what's in your mind."
The guests all took their leave and left, Qi Sheng jumped up: "Senior brother!"
Seeing him looking at him helplessly, Kou Wei laughed: "What are you doing?"
Qi Sheng faltered, couldn't speak, but refused to give up.
Kou Wei sighed: "Can't you hear it? She is a person who would rather bend than bend."
"But, I didn't tell her to bend!" Qi Sheng said in a low voice, "This... isn't this expedient? At least it's better than her, hitting her head alone."
Kou Wei originally thought that he was the sprout of puberty, and he didn't want to say these words, but he looked a bit infatuated, and couldn't help but straighten his face.
"Junior Brother Qi."
Qi Sheng, who had always been neither big nor small in front of him, shrank his head.
Kou Wei wanted to laugh, but couldn't. He sighed, "She has her own ideas, but yours is very dangerous."
"What danger?" Qi Sheng was not convinced, "I just want to help her."
"Help her, it's up to her to be willing." Kou Wei said, "I'm not against you liking her, but whether you actively pursue her or pay attention silently, you must consider her wishes. Don't hug her. I'm doing it for her own good. Do something she doesn't want to do, that will make her mess."
…
Just when she got back to her residence, before she even took a sip of water, a disciple called over there, saying that Elder An was looking for her.
"Uncle An."
An Tongchen was sitting alone by the window facing the cliff, watching the rivers rushing under his feet, and hearing her voice, he didn't turn his head back: "You know everything?"
"Is the master uncle talking about the princess?"
An Tongchen turned his head and glanced at her, seeing her calm demeanor, he felt at ease. After thinking about it, he said, "Xie Lianzhen is the son of the princess."
Lu Mingshu was thrown into a daze when he was suddenly thrown a shocking news.
She heard from Tan Yubing that the relationship between the princess and Xie Lianzhen was unusual, so she thought they might be relatives. Hearing what An Tongchen said, relatives were indeed relatives, but they were too close.
"Uncle An..." She was a little at a loss.
"Perhaps you know better than me how much a mother can pay for a child. Especially, she owes a lot to this child. I have asked someone to inquire about this matter. Now that you have entered the princess' sight, you can The only thing that can change the outcome is the princess' own will."
Lu Mingshu remained silent.
"I heard you went to see Kou Wei?" An Tongchen started another topic.
"Yes."
"The weight of Tianhai Pavilion may be up for grabs."
Lu Mingshu raised his head and looked at him.
An Tongchen looked down at the cliff under the window, and said softly: "Sometimes, temporarily bowing your head doesn't mean anything. Some people, even if they are humiliated by their crotch, can still look down on all living beings."
Lu Mingshu was a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the words of the Supreme Elder Yuan Xi: The hardest is easy to break, the strongest is humiliating, and it is best to do it yourself.
She suddenly felt a little... angry!
She closed her eyes and opened them after a while: "Uncle An, Xie Lianzhen's father... isn't he the King of Zhongzhou?"
An Tongchen shook his head: "The princess is remarrying."
That's the case, no wonder he said that the princess owed a lot.
"If I didn't come to Zhongzhou this time, what would my uncle think would be the result?"
An Tongchen was a little surprised and looked at her.
"I know that the concubine originally had her eyes on Ling Wuxia, but Ling Wuxia did not come to Zhongzhou. So, what about the others?"
An Tongchen pondered for a moment, and said, "Princess Wangfei's temper is always better than abuse."
Lu Mingshu nodded: "I understand, thank you uncle, this disciple will leave."
An Tongchen watched her retreat to the door, stopped again, and turned around: "Uncle An, maybe someone else can do it, but I don't like it. You can lower your head for the first time, and you can lower it for the second time. Maybe later on, I forgot to lift it up.”
After speaking, she gave a final salute and strode away.
An Tongchen sat silently for a long time, smiled, and said to himself: "Senior brother Liu, I thought you were already stubborn enough, but I didn't expect your apprentice to be even more stubborn than you."
…
Pushing open the door, Lu Mingshu still couldn't calm down.
After sitting silently for a long time, waiting to calm down, I suddenly saw a package on the table.
Strange, her things are all in the mustard bag, where did the package come from? Who left something on her
Opening the package casually to see what it was, she was stunned when the contents inside were exposed.
This is a pair of boots. The best deerskin is tanned soft and smooth, with fine stitches, but the tailoring is a bit rusty.
She grabbed the moccasins and hurried out.
"Hey!" Accidentally collided with Tan Yubing who was at the door.
"Uncle Tan!" Lu Mingshu grabbed her, "Did someone come to my room?"
"Yes!" Her eagerness made Tan Yubing puzzled, "I just wanted to tell you that someone brought something over before, and I put it on the table for you."
"Who is it?"
"A maid." Knowing what she wanted to ask, Tan Yubing continued, "It's just a very ordinary maid, there are everywhere in the palace, nothing special. Nephew Lu, what happened? Something wrong?"
"Where did she go? How long did she go?" Lu Mingshu didn't have time to answer.
"I just left, I went over there. Hey, where are you going?"
Without saying a word, Lu Mingshu ran outside.
She chased it out, but was at a loss. There are maids everywhere in the palace, and it is impossible to tell which one it is.
"Nephew Lu?" Tan Yubing followed, "What happened?"
Lu Mingshu hugged his boots and shook his head: "It's fine."
…
In a secluded part of the palace, behind a tree.
A maid bowed down and blessed: "The things have been delivered."
"Well, did she ask anything?"
"Miss Lu is not here, and the servant did not meet her."
"Very well, go ahead. Don't mention this matter again, just pretend it never happened."
"Yes."
After the maid left, someone came out from behind the tree and left slowly.
