Lu Heng is different from the usual soldiers in the military. He always has a smile on his lips, and his sweet words are not the same. There is a big difference from the unsmiling soldiers in Wang Yanqing's impression. She smiled, but there was a sudden doubt in her heart.
She is Lu Heng's adopted sister, why did Lu Heng use the words "golden house hidden charming"? Lu Heng said these words without thinking, which shows that she instinctively felt that it was not safe for her to live in Lu's house. But hasn't she lived here for the past ten years
Wang Yanqing thought it was a little strange. Now that it's New Year's Eve, there are so many things to do. Maybe Lu Heng is too busy. Wang Yanqing didn't think much, and said to Lu Heng, "Second brother, don't make fun of me. Today's New Year's Eve, second brother has been busy for a year, so please rest."
These two days are probably the most leisurely days of Lu Heng's year. If he is busy during the New Year, it will only be more day and night in the future. Rarely in a good mood, Lu Heng deliberately didn't think about the Zhenfu Secretary, and said, "I've been busy with things outside these days and neglected Qingqing. I have time today, what would Qingqing want to do?"
This question stopped Wang Yanqing. She was in the house all day, and she didn't feel any difference between the New Year and the past. The only difference was that Lu Heng was there. She thought about it and asked, "In the past, what did I spend with my second brother?"
After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, she looked at Lu Heng seriously. Lu Heng was at a loss for words in an instant when confronted with these clear, clear, trusting and reliant eyes.
No matter how flawless a lie is, it cannot change the truth. If they were foster brothers and sisters who grew up playing together, they must have a lot of common hobbies, but Lu Heng was not.
Lu Heng only paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "There are a lot of pastimes, let's see if Qingqing is willing to accompany me."
Wang Yanqing took it seriously, and immediately said, "Of course I would. What does the second brother want to do?"
Lu Heng quickly went through the things he was good at, and felt that playing chess was the most suitable for men and women to be alone. Other reading, archery, martial arts, too unpleasant scenery.
Lu Heng said, "You haven't played chess with your second brother for a long time. Would you like to have a game?"
Wang Yanqing nodded naturally. Lu Heng spoke, Lingxi Lingluan quickly set up a chessboard between the tips, Wang Yanqing sat beside the chess game, picked up Baizi and looked at it, instinctively feeling unfamiliar.
She doesn't seem to play chess often. This is strange, the second brother likes to play chess, even if she is not good at chess, she should not feel unfamiliar.
Lu Heng sat down, raised his eyes and glanced at her staring at Bai Zi, thoughtfully, his heart suddenly tightened. He was careless. Fu Tingzhou didn't like to play chess. It is estimated that Wang Yanqing had not had much contact with him before. Could it be that she found something wrong? Lu Heng didn't change his face, and said slowly, "Why, you don't want it anymore? You were always reluctant to play chess with me before, but now that you're grown up, don't you like it?"
Lu Heng secretly revealed that Wang Yanqing used to be impatient with playing chess. Wang Yanqing thought it made sense to follow this line of thinking. Lu Heng must be very good at chess. She could never win when she was young, so she could understand why she was reluctant to take chess. But Wang Yanqing felt that something was wrong for a moment. Even if she always lost, according to her temperament, she wouldn't be so irritable that she couldn't sit down, right
Lu Heng didn't dare to let Wang Yanqing think deeply, so he interrupted quickly: "Okay, it's time to settle down. You go first."
Wang Yanqing reminded: "Second brother, you hold the black child."
Lu Heng shook his head, indicating that she was okay. Wang Yanqing dropped a piece, Lu Heng followed slowly, and when he took the second piece, Wang Yanqing hesitated.
How should this go
Lu Heng saw that Wang Yanqing would not know, so he taught her slowly while teaching her. Wang Yanqing completed a round under the guidance of Lu Heng, and there was no suspense about winning or losing.
Lu Heng showed admiration and said, "Yes, I know how to infer other things."
Lu Heng's mouth often came out with sweet words, and Wang Yanqing didn't know whether Lu Heng really praised her or deliberately said nice things to make her happy. She put down a chess piece and said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother is too much for me, how can I compare with second brother?"
Although he had only played one and a half games, Wang Yanqing could already feel Lu Heng's powerful chess calculation ability. She even suspected that when she gave birth to her first child, Lu Heng counted her next ten steps.
Of course Lu Heng would not hit her, and said with a smile, "It is Qingqing who has made great progress."
Wang Yanqing also felt that she was okay, not as hopeless as she imagined. She picked up a warm jade chess piece with her fingers and whispered to herself: "I don't seem to be that stupid, why can't I learn it when I was a child?"
Lu Heng's smile didn't change, but he was quite troubled in his heart. After that, he dug a hole, and then filled it with countless holes. Knowing this, he went to shoot arrows.
In the second game, there was no suspense, but in order to let Wang Yanqing play for a while, Lu Heng deliberately fed her chess and guided her to learn chess. But there is an end to the concession. The second game is over. Wang Yanqing picked up pieces from the chessboard and asked, "Why does the second brother like to play chess?"
Lu Heng pointed to his brain and said, "Practice here."
Practicing martial arts can make him clear-eyed and responsive, so he can better survive in danger. And playing chess can keep him out of danger.
In the courtroom, calmness and patience are the most important things.
Wang Yanqing nodded in response, feeling more and more strange in her heart, logically, what the second brother likes, she will follow it no matter how impatient she is, why is she completely unfamiliar with chess pieces? She thought about it and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't the second brother force me to learn?"
Lu Heng paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Second brother, why would you force you. If you don't like it, don't learn it. We brothers and sisters don't need to be the same in everything."
Yeah? Wang Yanqing bowed his head and muttered in a low voice: "But, I want to be the same as the second brother."
When Lu Heng heard it, his eyes moved, and he was about to say something when there was a report from outside: "Commander, a foreigner is here."
With Lu Heng's position, there were countless people who wanted to approach him during the Chinese New Year. Lu Heng didn't want to waste time with these people, so he refused all of them. There are only a few people who can make the concierge of the Lu family dare not refuse, and Lingxi also specially came to report...
Lu Heng glanced at Wang Yanqing, already knowing what to do. Lu Heng asked, "Who is it?"
"Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Lu Heng was not surprised, his smile did not change, but the light in his eyes suddenly turned cold. Wang Yanqing saw that the second brother was in a bad mood, so he also frowned and asked, "What is he here for?"
"Why, some people don't die." Lu Heng put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box and said to Wang Yanqing, "Qingqing, you don't need to see such annoying flies. You go back first, for a while. I will look for you."
Wang Yanqing nodded, stood up without a word, and gently blessed her body: "Second brother, I'll go first."
Lu Heng sat in the same position and saw Wang Yanqing walking towards the door without saying a word, letting the maid tie her cloak. She changed into a brand-new Yun Jin jacket. It was a long jacket with white lingerie on the front and gold buttons on the neckline and placket, because at home, she didn't wear too thick clothes inside. The shoulders and waist of the long jacket were very slender. The waist suddenly widens, and it splits at the knees, revealing the scarlet horse-faced skirt below. The pleats of the skirt are thin and exquisite, and the hem of the white velvet jacket is slightly propped up, making her waist particularly slender and graceful, solemn and dignified.
Lu Heng fiddled with the chess pieces for a while, silently watching Wang Yanqing change clothes. He watched for a while and had to admit that she was pleasing to the eye. Today's Chinese New Year, she can't wear plain clothes as usual, so she wears a long red dress, but Lu Song's filial piety has not yet passed. This set of white robes is made of velvet cloth produced in Songjiang Prefecture. It is of high quality and has a particularly good luster. Although the color is plain, the dress is not dull at all, but has a low-key and restrained extravagance.
Lu Heng didn't like women who were ignorant and unreasonable, but she was too well-behaved and sensible in this regard. He took the initiative to keep filial piety for his non-existent adoptive father, and when he heard that Lu Heng had guests, he left without complaining. Does she know that the person Lu Heng wants to see is the second brother who has been kind to her since childhood and has been looking for her
She is so well-behaved that sometimes Lu Heng can't bear to lie to her again. However, this unbearable, after all, only momentary.
Wang Yanqing put on a white fox fur over his jacket, bowed to Lu Heng from a distance, and then turned around and went out. Lu Heng smiled and watched her leave. After everyone left, Lu Heng stood up from the chessboard and walked slowly to the bright room.
Lu Heng waited for a while, thinking that Wang Yanqing should go out, and then said to someone, "Bring Zhenyuan Marquis in..."
His voice fell, and a panicked voice came from the servants outside: "Marquis Zhenyuan, wait a moment, the commander is not convenient to see the guests now..."
Lu Heng's face changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly.
Wang Yanqing hasn't gone far!
It's very rude to come directly without a post, but Fu Tingzhou can't care about it at all. He thought that after he expressed his attitude, Lu Heng should take action, but Lu Heng went to investigate the case and searched the house in a blink of an eye, without any intention of sending Wang Yanqing back. Fu Tingzhou thought that Lu Heng was really busy and waited patiently for about ten days. As a result, Yang Shoufu resigned, and Lu Heng still did not see anyone.
Fu Tingzhou understood that Lu Heng didn't plan to let him go. Fu Tingzhou couldn't bear it any longer, so he went straight to the door, trying to explain to Lu Heng. The Lu family is a family of Jinyiwei, and the servants in the house know some kung fu, but Fu Tingzhou was also raised by the general's family. To frighten Fu Tingzhou.
Fu Tingzhou couldn't bear to listen to this. He strode into the main courtyard of Lu Mansion, and out of the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed a white figure, walked through the corridor, and left through the corner door.
Fu Tingzhou stopped abruptly, he was stunned for a moment, then took steps to chase in that direction: "Qingqing..."
At this time, the door of the main room was slammed open, and a cold voice came: "Marquis Zhenyuan, this is the Lu residence, what do you want to do?"
Under Lu Heng's instruction, the servants of Lu Mansion finally dared to let go and stop him firmly in front of Fu Tingzhou. Fu Tingzhou's face was tense, staring at the direction where the woman was leaving.
It's not that he can't break through, but this is the Lu family. He forcibly broke into the inner courtyard of the Lu family. Now, it's not time to tear up with Lu Heng.
However, the back of that woman was so similar to hers that Fu Tingzhou couldn't tell whether it was because he was thinking too much and had hallucinations, or whether he really saw Qingqing.
Lu Heng had already approached from the veranda, stopped not far away, and said slowly, "Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Lu Heng's voice was low, with a hint of coercion in it. Fu Tingzhou could only withdraw his gaze and turned back unwillingly. His jaw tightened, his eyes stared hard at Lu Heng, and he asked, "Lu Heng, who is she?"
Lu Heng glanced at the corner door, and asked in return, "Who do you think she is in my inner courtyard?"
Fu Tingzhou didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, and was still pressing him step by step: "I have never heard of Lord Lu marrying a wife. How could a woman suddenly appear in the Lu residence?"
"Because I'm keeping filial piety, it's inconvenient to get married." Lu Heng said, glancing at him with a half-smile, "Why, the Marquis of Zhenyuan even has to take care of my personal affairs? Is that your sister? Wake up, she heard your name and your voice when you forced your way in, but she just sped away. She's not your sister at all, but mine. "
Lu Heng's words were like a basin of cold water on his head, pouring it on Fu Tingzhou's body. He couldn't help but feel discouraged. Yes, he called out "Qingqing" so clearly. If it was really Qingqing, how could he turn around and leave? Probably, it was just one of Lu Heng's women.
Is there anyone in the world with a back like this
Seeing that Lu Heng successfully intimidated Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing walked away, he was secretly relieved. Lu Heng had no guilt that his lies were almost exposed on the spot, but instead put on the air of a victim and said in a forgiving tone: "I don't want to be angry, I don't want to be angry with you on a happy day today. I hope next time, the Marquis of Zhenyuan will stop. To do such a rude thing. Marquis Zhenyuan, if you have something to say, come in and say it."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, he turned around, and Fu Tingzhou looked in the direction just now and followed with a sullen face.
Lu Heng sat on the main seat, and regardless of what the guests were like, he picked up the tea cup himself and blew the heat slowly. After Fu Tingzhou entered the room, he glanced quickly and noticed that there was a game of chess lying between the tips. The chess pieces had not been completely put away. It seemed that someone was playing chess here not long ago, and it was suddenly scattered due to some accidents.
Fu Tingzhou's thoughts were shaken again, could it be that the woman just now was really Lu Heng's side? However, concubine Ji is not a shameful existence. When a guest came to visit, she bumped into it. When she met her face to face, why did Lu Heng send her away
Fu Tingzhou's mind was in a mess. After he took his seat, he asked tentatively, "Master Lu is so intrigued, yet he has the patience to teach the girls in the back house to play chess?"
Lu Heng nodded and admitted it calmly: "Yes. It's rare to see a beautiful day with a beautiful woman on the side, but unfortunately it was ruined by the Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Fu Tingzhou sneered in his heart, no matter what other men said, he didn't believe that Lu Heng would indulge in beauty and waste time for unrelated people. Fu Tingzhou smiled half-truly and said, "I heard that Miss Zhao San, a talented and beautiful lady, offered a pillow seat to Lord Lu some time ago, but Lord Lu refused. How long has it been since Mr. Lu knew how to pity fragrance and cherish jade?"
Lu Heng smiled leisurely and said calmly, "Of course my own people are different from other women."
Fu Tingzhou felt dazzling when he saw the small smile in Lu Heng's eyes. He pulled the corner of his lower lips coldly and said, "I didn't expect Lord Lu to be so famous and so affectionate towards his family, which opened the eyes of the prince. Why did the prince come today, and Lord Lu should know?"
Lu Heng gave a slow "Oh", and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Zhenyuan Hou's sister, you haven't found it yet?"
With a sympathetic tone, Lu Heng raised Fu Tingzhou's fire again. Fu Tingzhou took a deep breath, held it back, and said calmly: "Master Lu has sharp ears and eyes, and can see through the sky. You can't hide any trouble in the capital. Now Master Lu has made great achievements again, and he will be promoted to the commander soon. Master Lu is so magical. , so, I want to ask Lord Lu to help me find my sister."
Lu Heng smiled, he lowered his head and lifted the tea lid, slowly removing the foam on it, but he didn't drink it after waiting for a long time. Fu Tingzhou waited patiently for a while, and said, "Lord Lu?"
"I've heard for a long time that Marquis Zhenyuan is arrogant and arrogant, and he never lowers his head to ask for help. If I could ask Marquis Zhenyuan to ask for help, I should have done my best, but..." Lu Heng raised his eyes and finally took his eyes off the tea. His eyes were innocent, "But I really don't know Lingmei's whereabouts. No missing women have reported the case recently in the Gyeonggi guardhouses. Marquis of Zhenyuan, is it possible that Lingmei is not missing?"
Fu Tingzhou sat on the huanghuali carved rose chair, his fingers clenched unconsciously. Lu Heng glanced and noticed, his smile became more and more sincere: "Marquis Zhenyuan, no offense, but Lingmei is engaged, is there someone interested?"
It is said that murder is the heart of death, and Lu Heng is just stabbing the knife in the sore spot. Fu Tingzhou's complexion changed, and he couldn't keep his dignity any longer, and said angrily: "How is it possible? She has always lived in Fu's house, and Hou's house is her home. Where does she have a crush?"
"This may not be the case." Lu Heng casually rubbed salt on the wounds, "Zhenyuan Hou also said that your sister is an adopted daughter, and no matter how nice Zhenyuan Hou's mansion treats her, it is at best her mother's family. My daughter's family is big. , there will always be her own ideas. Maybe, she disappeared under the guise of Shangxiang, but she actually eloped with her sweetheart."
Lu Heng undoubtedly said what Fu Tingzhou was most afraid of. Fu Tingzhou visited the door three times, but Lu Heng said he didn't know. No matter how cloudy and sunny Lu Heng was, he wouldn't have such ink marks. Could it be that Qingqing was really not in Lu Heng's hands, but left by himself
In fact, Fu Tingzhou also had a faint hunch. After Shang Xiang came back, the maid found Lu Yin and Hu Tie in Wang Yanqing's house. Fu Tingzhou was sure that Wang Yanqing would never collude with other men except him. Elopement was nonsense. But what if she leaves by herself
She was already thinking about leaving, and even packed up her burdens. Unexpectedly, she was attacked in the western suburbs one step ahead of schedule. Maybe she took this opportunity and left naturally
Fu Tingzhou's heart ached when he thought of this possibility.
The Fu family once acquiesced that he and Wang Yanqing were a couple, but as soon as the old marquis left, he would marry another new person. Fu Tingzhou even took her to see her new relative on her birthday. He should have thought that ordinary women can't bear this kind of insult. How could Wang Yanqing accept such a strong self-esteem
It was him who was naive, and relied on Qingqing's dedication to her, so he recklessly trampled on her sincerity. He was confident that Qingqing would not disobey him, and Qingqing was really reluctant to make him embarrassed, so she chose to leave by herself and completely walk out of his life with Zhenyuan Houfu.
Can't! It was only at this time that Fu Tingzhou felt scared. He would rather fight with Lu Heng over and over again than accept that she wanted to leave him. Fu Tingzhou clenched his fists with a firm tone. He didn't know whether he wanted to convince Lu Heng or himself: "No, she will never leave me."
Lu Heng looked at him with a little bit of broken light in his eyes, like sympathy and like watching the fun: "Really? The Marquis of Zhenyuan is really confident. If I go out of the city normally, I can help the Marquis of Zhenyuan to find them. If it's just missing, Then I can't help it."
Fu Tingzhou still looked at Lu Heng suspiciously: "Master Lu, there is no one else here, you don't have to go around in circles with me. You were in the western suburbs that day, didn't you really take her away?"
"Of course not." Lu Heng vetoed with a smile, and spread his hands innocently, "If it was me, I should have found you long ago, why bother? It's been a month, but any strong woman must have committed suicide long ago. It's not good for me to do this, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Heng's words were disgraceful, and the calculations were clear. But it was such a straightforward interest relationship that Fu Tingzhou was completely speechless.
Yes, what is Lu Hengtu
Fu Tingzhou didn't know whether he felt more regret or pain. If she falls into Lu Heng's hands, he can at least deceive himself, she has to come back. If it wasn't in Lu Heng's hands, he wouldn't even have an excuse to deceive himself.
Fu Tingzhou's brain was buzzing, he got up like a walking corpse, he didn't have the heart to say anything, he turned around and left. Lu Heng watched Fu Tingzhou go out, and the smile in his eyes deepened. In the end, he couldn't help it, covered his eyebrows, and laughed silently.
Never guess the psychology of a real villain, he may indeed be unprofitable, just pure wickedness.
