After making a start, the rest of the words were logical, and the maid quickly called out: "He is a local ruffian, he is idle all day long, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, and relying on a white face, he often hooks up with women from good families. The daughters of good families are all walking around Feng Liu, and the young lady was mostly coaxed by Feng Liu's sweet words, so she followed him and went into the private meeting in the inner house..."
The other maids secretly reminded that the talking maid realized that she had said bad words and lowered her eyes. A boudoir woman can't even hear these words, let alone say them. The maids were blushing and whispering, but Wang Yanqing was as calm as usual, with a pale face that was more than jade, and there was no embarrassment at all: "Did Feng Liu have any dealings with the Liang family before?"
The maids giggled and said, "What kind of person is he? It's too late to hide from the master, how dare he enter the Liang family's door?"
This kind of ruffian bullies the soft and fears the hard, how dare they provoke thousands of Jinyiwei households, Wang Yanqing nodded, and asked the time and place of the day, all of which matched Liang Fu's statement. Wang Yanqing knew from Liang Fu's expression that she did not lie, but the testimony had to be verified before it could be believed. After Wang Yanqing checked Liang Fu's timeline, she suddenly asked, "What was Mrs. Liang doing on the seventeenth day?"
Many people know this, and the maids said, "My wife has returned to her mother's house."
"When did she go out and when did she come back?"
The maids thought for a while and said, "Go out at the hour of the hour, and come back only at the hour of the hour."
Chen Shi, so early? Wang Yanqing didn't reveal it, and asked, "Where is Mrs. Liang's family?"
"Not far from Baoding Mansion, it's in Qingyuan County."
Wang Yanqing's news was almost finished, and he walked out of the embroidery building. As soon as she went out, she saw a figure standing with hands behind her back, looking at the tree in front of the embroidered building from a distance. Wang Yanqing was surprised for a moment: "Second brother?"
Lu Heng turned back and walked towards her naturally: "Come out. How is it, have you met someone who is difficult to deal with?"
Wang Yanqing shook her head. She looked at Lu Heng and asked unexpectedly, "Why have you been waiting here for so long?"
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and asked back, "Why not?"
Wang Yanqing was stopped by the question and murmured subconsciously, "I thought you would go around to find clues..."
Wang Yanqing spent a lot of time in the embroidered building just now. She thought that Lu Heng was also searching outside, so she was not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Lu Heng has been waiting here. Not to mention the cold, but to stand outside for half an hour, which man has the patience to wait so long
And Lu Heng is still the commander, and the only person who dares to let him wait is the emperor. Wang Yanqing was flattered, and when Lu Heng saw Wang Yanqing's eyes, his brows moved, and he scolded Fu Tingzhou in his heart.
Don't think about it, while waiting for Wang Yanqing, the person who does his own thing must be Fu Tingzhou. Lu Heng said in his heart that Fu Tingzhou was really lucky, and he was not worthy of Wang Yanqing's heart and lungs to him. Not to mention your own woman, even if it is an unfamiliar relative, if you send the other party into a place, you have to wait for the other party to come out before you can leave, right
As for Fu Tingzhou, it was right to be so scornful.
Lu Heng ruthlessly insulted his nemesis in his heart, his expression still gentle and warm, he smiled at Wang Yanqing and said, "Qingqing, blame me. After you were injured this time, the second brother realized that he had been too neglectful to you before. Don't worry, no matter where you go in the future, I will wait for you, and I will wait for you to come back."
Lu Heng said and took Wang Yanqing's hand, he walked forward, found Wang Yanqing not moving, and looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
Wang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "Nothing."
She said nothing, but lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes converged like butterfly wings. Lu Heng silently scrutinized her drawn eyebrows, looked at it for a while, and asked with a smile, "Why, don't you believe second brother?"
"No." Wang Yanqing lowered her eyes, not knowing how to describe her mood at the moment, "I always feel that the second brother is too good to me, and it makes me terrified."
Lu Heng smiled deeper, stood beside her, took her by the shoulders and said, "This is what I should do, why are you afraid? It seems that I will be more kind to you in the future, otherwise I will treat you with such a little kindness. If you are captured, what will you do if you are deceived by a man in the future?"
Lu Heng's arm was warm and strong, leaning against it as if supporting the whole world, which was extremely reassuring. After Lu Heng finished speaking, he took Wang Yanqing forward. It was obviously a very safe word, but Wang Yanqing fell silent after hearing it.
Lu Heng asked, "Why, have something on your mind?"
Wang Yanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Second brother, although the third elder of the Liang family has surpassed today, the question is not bad. Why don't you marry a wife?"
Lu Heng hummed softly in his heart, thinking that it was so. He said why Wang Yanqing retracted into the shell again, the crux of the matter was here. Wang Yanqing had no memory, but she subconsciously knew that her second brother was going to marry a regular wife. The better the second brother treated her, the more panicked her heart was. This sense of crisis haunted her all the time, even if she didn't know where it came from.
Lu Heng said that he would always wait for her where he was, which inadvertently detonated her anxiety.
Lu Heng is numb. How many guilts has he taken for Fu Tingzhou? This bastard, Lu Heng should return to Beijing and beat him up.
Lu Heng hated his teeth, but on the surface he had to pretend to be a gentle and meticulous brother, and said, "Qingqing, you forgot, my father passed away this year, and I will be filial piety for three years."
"But the period of filial piety will always be over." Wang Yanqing lowered his eyes, his eyes were almost ruthless, "After three years, it is impossible for the second brother not to marry a wife."
"Why not?" Lu Heng said, "In my position, if I don't marry a wife or get involved in any faction, the emperor will believe me. Brothers and sisters must share weal and woe. If I can't marry a wife in the future, Qingqing will stay with me. How about the Lu family accompany me?"
His tone was leisurely, his voice was smiling, and he couldn't tell whether he was joking or telling the truth. The inexplicable pressure in Wang Yanqing's heart dissipated, and he couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, you are joking again. What is the purpose of sharing weal and woe?"
Lu Heng didn't pursue her answer, and asked with a smile, "Then how should it be used?"
After this interruption, the atmosphere between the two eased a lot. Wang Yanqing took advantage of the situation to talk about the information asked in the embroidered building: "On the night of November 16, Liang Fu went to talk to Liang Rong, but she accidentally saw that there were lights in the study room, and there were muffled voices in the room. The people inside asked her to be second. When the next day came, Liang Fu couldn't sleep at night, so she went back early the next morning and learned that Liang Rong happened to go out and bumped into Liang Bin who came back from outside in the front yard. That day, Liang Bin was wearing dark clothes."
Lu Heng responded slowly, "Liang Bin."
Wang Yanqing nodded, suddenly realizing that he hadn't seen Liang Bin much today: "I remember seeing Liang Bin when I entered the door today. Where did he go?"
"When Chen Yuxuan entered the main hall to greet each other, he was sitting in the corner. After everyone went out to see Liang Rong's room, he took the opportunity to slip away and never came back."
Wang Yanqing gave an "oh" and said sincerely, "Second brother, your memory is really good."
Not only has a good memory, but also has strong observation skills. Wang Yanqing was always watching everyone's expressions in the living room, but he didn't notice when Liang Bin was gone, but Lu Heng noticed it.
Lu Heng nodded and happily accepted Wang Yanqing's compliment: "Thank you Qingqing. Liang Fu ran into Liang Bin, what happened later?"
"When Liang Fu met Liang Rong, she asked him where Liang Rong went, but Liang Bin said he didn't know. Liang Fu walked back and found a pearl when she passed by Liang Rong's door. She also asked Liang Bin if it belonged to him. After Liang Bin denied it, Liang Fu took the pearl away."
Before Lu Heng could speak, Wang Yanqing took out the pearls from her purse: "The pearls are here. I have seen them, they should be decorations on something."
Lu Heng took the pearl, looked at it for a while, and said, "It's on the shoe."
Wang Yanqing opened his eyes in surprise, and quickly asked, "Second brother, how did you see it?"
Lu Heng showed her the scratches on the pearl: "It's one-sided wear. The marks are still new, so they should have been drawn recently."
Wang Yanqing admired it, she didn't notice it after looking at it for so long, and Lu Heng recognized it with just a few glances. When there were so many people in Xingwangfu, it made sense that Lu Heng could quickly be promoted to commander.
"Apart from this bead, is there anything else?"
Wang Yanqing continued to repeat: "Liang Fu has nothing to do after coming back, just to pass the time. On the nineteenth day, she went to sleep as usual, but was suddenly awakened by the sound outside, and vaguely saw the back of a man standing in front of her window, the man dressed in red Hu Hu, escaped from the tree in front of everyone. Liang Wenshi caught the current man, went to search the adulterer, and found the exact same clothes in the house of a man named Feng Liu."
Hearing the raised eyebrows, Lu Heng tutted meaningfully. Wang Yanqing looked up and looked at Lu Heng curiously: "Second brother, what's the matter?"
Lu Heng looked like he wanted to say something, but when he saw Wang Yanqing's eyes, he held back. Wang Yanqing became more and more curious and asked, "What is it?"
Lu Heng shook his head and pressed Wang Yanqing's shoulder: "You should not know about this kind of thing. This Feng Liu is a little interesting. I will meet him later. But now, I need Qingqing to do me a favor."
Although Wang Yanqing wondered what Lu Heng was hiding from her, she immediately became serious when she heard Lu Heng's words. Lu Heng met Wang Yanqing's clear and clean eyes, and couldn't help touching her hair, saying, "Don't be nervous. Qingqing, can you climb up the tree in front of Liang Fu's window?"
Wang Yanqing lost her memory and did not remember martial arts at all, but her body instinctively told her what was okay and what was not. Wang Yanqing didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "No problem."
"Okay." Lu Heng said, "Excuse me to go up the tree and help me take a look."
The two of them have been strolling in the garden, not far from Liang Fu's embroidered building at this moment. Wang Yanqing glanced back and said, "I'll jump through Liang Fu's window, just to try that person's escape route."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and immediately asked: "I think that distance is not small, can you jump over it? If it's difficult, forget it, it's just a piece of evidence, it's not worth your risk."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Yanqing insisted, "I should be able to. If we don't try it again, how will we know what we missed. I'll go to Liang Fu and the others."
Regardless of Lu Heng's objection, Wang Yanqing returned to the embroidered building without a word and stepped on the window. Lu Heng watched from downstairs, clasping his hands in cold sweat. He had never been so nervous in training himself, Lu Heng opened his mouth and wanted to persuade again: "Qingqing, why not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Yanqing suddenly jumped out from the window edge, swept past like a honghu, and stopped firmly on the branch. Lu Heng's heart was up and down, and after just a while, his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Wang Yanqing's body is light in color, standing on a withered branch, like a butterfly in spring in the harsh winter, beautiful and strange. Wang Yanqing hurried over the branches and quickly walked to the wall. Wang Yanqing looked down and said to Lu Heng, "Second brother, you can climb down the wall from here."
"Okay." Lu Heng was afraid that she would jump out of the wall again, so he quickly said, "I see, come down quickly."
Wang Yanqing was wearing a pair of white jackets today, with fluff around her neck, as beautiful as a fairy. A beauty like her should be mounted on a portrait, a screen, and viewed from a distance. But at this moment, she stepped on a branch and jumped from a height, as if the flying sky in the mural was alive, and walked towards Lu Heng step by step. Wang Yanqing jumped off a branch, the wide skirt spread out like wings, Lu Heng also reached out, hugged her waist, and brought her down from the tree.
Wang Yanqing planned to jump down by himself, but Lu Heng suddenly stretched out his hand. She was startled and instinctively hugged Lu Heng's neck. Lu Heng wrapped around Wang Yanqing's waist, his arms were as strong and strong as iron. He held Wang Yanqing to relieve his strength, and his long skirt swept an arc in the air, unscrewed like a flower, and finally landed gently on the ground. Wang Yanqing was not used to it when her toes landed, and subconsciously hugged Lu Heng's shoulder. Lu Heng stood firmly, with his palms behind her waist, quietly waiting for her to stand firm.
Wang Yanqing fainted for a while before realizing that she was standing close to Lu Heng. She quickly stepped back and almost stepped on the skirt. Lu Heng caught her and said helplessly, "Be careful."
Wang Yanqing's face turned red, she quickly licked the broken hair in her ear, and said, "Second brother, why did you pick me up suddenly? You can easily hurt your arm like this."
Lu Heng was born in a family of Jinyiwei for generations, and he knew how to protect himself from a very young age. He casually glanced at Wang Yanqing, waiting for an explanation, suddenly changed his tone and said, "For Qingqing, even the injury is worth it."
The author says:
Lu Heng: Although I didn't grow up with Qingqing, I was the one who carried the blame in the past.
