Fu Tingzhou was reminded by Prince Yongping Hou Shizi last month that he suddenly became suspicious of Lu Heng. Fu Tingzhou was very angry. He hated Lu Heng for being shameless, but he hated himself even more for being stupid. He had been deceived by him for so long.
The ambush was done by Lu Heng, and there were no footprints under the cliff, so there was no need to doubt where Wang Yanqing was. He actually trusted Lu Heng's words, and suspected that Wang Yanqing wanted to leave him. On New Year's Eve, when he left the Lu Mansion in a state of despair, Lu Heng was not sure how he would laugh.
Fu Tingzhou was annoyed and also puzzled. One of the important reasons he believed in Lu Heng was that he bumped into Wang Yanqing when he came to the door. He called out, but she didn't respond. why? Has she changed her mind
As soon as this idea came up, it was snuffed out by Fu Tingzhou. Impossible, anyone could betray him, his mother and sister could be detrimental to him under Lu Heng's bewitchment, but Qingqing would never. She must have been coerced by Lu Heng. On the day she entered the city, Lu Heng followed the carriage. On New Year's Eve, she followed the maids. It must be these people who threatened Qingqing, and she was helpless.
When Fu Tingzhou thought of this, his heart seemed to be tormented by boiling oil, and the sense of guilt almost drowned him. It was his fault that caused Qingqing to fall off the cliff, and also caused Qingqing to fall into Lu Heng's hands. Lu Heng is a lunatic, no one can predict what he wants to do. He has kept Wang Yanqing by his side for so long, and he may not know how to torture her. Counting that time in Shangyuan, Fu Tingzhou had passed Qingqing three times. She watched him miss it, and she didn't know how painful it should be.
He wants to rescue Qingqing, no matter what the cost.
Fu Ting's state horse arranged for the rescue. It is absolutely impossible to forcefully break into the Lu Mansion, and it is not realistic to hijack a car when Wang Yanqing is out. First, he didn't know when Wang Yanqing would go out, and second, Lu Heng, an overly cautious old fox, would definitely set up heavy guards around Wang Yanqing, and it would be difficult for Fu Tingzhou to retreat. They are now in the capital, and once the trouble gets too big, it will disturb the palace. If the trouble gets to the Holy Front, with the relationship between Lu Heng and the emperor, Fu Tingzhou will definitely suffer in the end.
He can only find a way to arrange "coincidence".
Fu Tingzhou always believed that even if Wang Yanqing had to be with Lu Hengxu and Wei She for some reason, she would always want to escape, so she would take the initiative to go out on the Shangyuan Festival to find an opportunity to escape. It's a pity that Fu Tingzhou was stumbled by Hong Wanqing, and he missed a great opportunity.
This Shangsi Festival, she will definitely find a chance to come out. And with Lu Heng's fake character, he would most likely agree generously, go fishing leisurely, and then destroy Wang Yanqing's escape plan at the last minute. What Lu Heng likes to do most is to give hope to his prey, and then crush it little by little.
Fu Tingzhou has been predicting Lu Heng's thoughts all this time. Based on Fu Tingzhou's understanding of Lu Heng, Lu Heng would agree to Wang Yanqing's request, but he would not take her to a crowded place, but to a place that Lu Heng could completely control, such as this manor with mountains and water. Fu Tingzhou knew that someone else's name was written on the title deed of Zhuangzi, but in fact it had long since returned to Lu Heng.
Zhuangzi was built by eunuchs, and it is beautiful, but it is much worse in terms of safety. Lu Heng rarely lived here. He didn't come here two or three times a year, so it wasn't worth rebuilding. The introduction of living water into the manor, the lush vegetation, and the changing scenery with every step, the beauty is naturally beautiful, but it is also convenient for Tibetans.
Sure enough, the people staring at the Lu residence reported today that they saw a carriage driving out of the Lu residence. Fu Tingzhou immediately guessed that it was Qingqing, but there was an accident, and Lu Heng also came out. Fu Tingzhou didn't expect Lu Heng to ask for leave. He asked people to make some noise at the gate of the imperial city, lead Lu Heng away, and then personally came to the manor to rescue Wang Yanqing.
If you miss March 3, the next festival that allows women to go out will have to wait for Qixi Festival. Today is Fu Tingzhou's best chance. He must see Qingqing and bring her back.
So far everything is going well, he has successfully found Wang Yanqing, and then he only needs to kill the two maids. Unexpectedly, Wang Yanqing went to the back to change clothes, but the two maids did not follow up. Fu Tingzhou was quite surprised, but it was always a good thing. Lu Heng's maids were all specially trained, and it would be difficult for him to silence the two of them without alerting the guards outside.
When Fu Tingzhou saw Wang Yanqing quietly walk into the inner room, he didn't know how moved he was. She has picturesque eyebrows and a peaceful expression. She is wearing a white jacket and skirt. When she is quiet, she is like a bright moon in the sky, and when she is in action, she is like a flower shining on water. After being apart for a long time, her beauty has not diminished at all, and there is no trace of torture on her body, but she is beautiful and moving.
The feeling in Fu Tingzhou's heart is indescribable. He thought she was forced to be separated from him, and she should be thin and depressed. In fact, she lived peacefully and freely. This is a good thing, at least, she didn't suffer from flesh and blood.
At this point, Lu Heng is still a man.
Seeing that he didn't notice it outside, Fu Tingzhou quietly appeared and came to find Wang Yanqing. He expected that she might be more excited, but he didn't expect her to stab him directly with a dagger.
Fortunately, Fu Tingzhou and Wang Yanqing have been together for ten years. She has learned every move from Fu Tingzhou, and it has become instinctive for them to fight each other. Fu Tingzhou avoided the key point in time and blocked the blade with his arm, so that Wang Yanqing could see his face.
He was afraid that the movement here would disturb the maid outside, so he could only cover her mouth with his hand. He stared at those familiar and beautiful eyes and said, "Qingqing, don't shout, it's me."
Just saying this sentence made Fu Tingzhou tremble and heartache.
Wang Yanqing's eyes calmed down, and Fu Tingzhou vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't have time to think about it. Seeing that Wang Yanqing didn't mean to shout, he slowly let go of his hand. However, the hug that he expected to meet after a long absence did not appear. After Wang Yanqing was freed, he first took a step back, practiced social distancing, then lowered his hands and greeted him with a thousand blessings: "Marquis of Zhenyuan."
Fu Tingzhou was confused by this development. He thought that Qingqing was angry with him, and said again: "Qingqing, it's me."
The situation once again exceeded Fu Tingzhou's expectations. Wang Yanqing was not happy, aggrieved or even angry when he heard these words, but his face became more and more indifferent. Wang Yanqing lowered his eyes, and his calm tone scared him: "Of course I know you, Zhenyuan Hou Fu Tingzhou."
Fu Tingzhou looked at Wang Yanqing's estranged and indifferent eyes, like treating a stranger, and finally realized that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, "Qingqing, what's the matter with you? I was wrong about what happened before. If you are angry, go home and we will talk slowly, but now there is no time, you have to go with me quickly."
Wang Yanqing thought that what the second brother said was right, Zhenyuan Hou was really crazy. Who did he think he was, why did he speak to her in such an instructive tone
Wang Yanqing stood motionless, although her head was lowered, her neck was straight, and her back stretched out a soft and slender line. She was not hunchbacked and weak like other women, but like a willow, with a sense of strength in her silence.
Wang Yanqing remembered that her second brother and Fu Tingzhou were both in the capital, and she would look down and see her in the future. She didn't want to make too much trouble because of her own reasons, so she said: "Marquis Zhenyuan, thank you for your love, but I don't dare to climb high. Hou's mansion. Even if my family is ruined and I have no father or mother, I can't allow me to be a concubine to others. Besides, the Lu mansion is my home, and I will not leave."
Fu Tingzhou looked at Wang Yanqing and was stunned for a while. His eyes became cold every inch, and even if he comforted himself that she was speaking angrily, he was really irritated: "Qingqing, do you know what you are talking about?"
His words were angry, condescending and questioning, and Wang Yanqing couldn't help being angry when he heard it. Wang Yanqing also had a cold face, and said coldly: "Marquis Zhenyuan, I don't know you well. Please, Marquis Zhenyuan call me by my name, not Qingqing. Only my second brother can call this title Qingqing."
Fu Tingzhou finally understood where the sense of disobedience came from. He stared at Wang Yanqing, his tone uncontrollably raised because he was frightened: "Am I not your second brother?"
Wang Yanqing couldn't bear it anymore, the second brother was right, what's wrong with this person's mind? Disdain flashed across her eyes, and she said, "Marquis Zhenyuan, please respect yourself."
Lingxi Lingluan heard the sound outside and approached the door and knocked: "Girl, what happened?"
Lu Heng's people were just outside the door, while Fu Tingzhou always stared at Wang Yanqing, not caring about his own danger at all. Wang Yanqing knew that if Lingxi Lingluan was allowed to break in and the matter came to the second brother, it would be completely unstoppable. She didn't want to add another enemy to her second brother, so she didn't make a sound, and said lightly to Lingxi Lingluan: "It's okay, you all quit. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while alone."
There seemed to be a momentary pause outside, and then, the voice of a woman salute passed through the door and window into the compartment: "Yes."
Wang Yanqing didn't hear the footsteps walking away, she knew that Lingxi Lingluan was guarding the door, and she didn't want to waste time with Fu Tingzhou, she simply said: "Marquis Zhenyuan, I don't remember if I told you this before. But since you're here today, you might as well say it all at once. I don't know where I got into the eyes of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but the Marquis will never forget it just once. But the twisted melon is not sweet, I don't want it, the Lu family No, your fiancée, Miss Hong, probably won't either. Since it is doomed to miss, why should the Marquis of Zhenyuan insist? Not everyone is happy. I hope the Marquis of Zhenyuan will not do anything embarrassing to everyone in the future. If there is a next time, I will not be polite anymore."
Fu Tingzhou stared at her, his voice as cold as iron: "Did he force you to say that?"
Wang Yanqing was stunned: "What?"
"Did Lu Heng force you? You were coerced by him, or did you have any reason to fall into his hands?" Fu Tingzhou stepped forward and tried to hold Wang Yanqing's arm, "Qingqing, it doesn't matter. You go back with me, I will do the rest. to deal with it. No matter what happened before today, I will not pursue it."
Wang Yanqing saw that he still wanted to move, and immediately took a step back, his face sank: "Marquis Zhenyuan, I thought I had made it clear. Please respect yourself and stop pestering me."
Stop pestering me.
Hearing these words, Fu Tingzhou felt like a knife twisted in his heart. But no matter how hurtful the language was, it was not as painful as her indifferent, estranged, evasive eyes. Fu Tingzhou didn't know what happened to Wang Yanqing. They had only been separated for three months. Why did she seem like a different person.
What did Lu Heng do to her
Fu Tingzhou wanted to say more, if it really didn't work, even if he knocked her unconscious today, he would definitely take her away. Fu Tingzhou took a step closer, but before he could speak, the voice of a maid suddenly came from outside.
"Commander."
A familiar, calm voice hummed lightly and asked, "Where's her?"
Wang Yanqing's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this voice. She glanced at Fu Tingzhou at last, followed the etiquette and greeted him, then bypassed him and walked out quickly. When she got to the door, she even trotted a few steps.
The second brother came back a little faster than she expected. Wang Yanqing didn't have time to accompany Fu Tingzhou to go crazy, so he hurried out to stop Lu Heng. The place where Wang Yanqing and Fu Tingzhou faced off was behind the screen, so he was not afraid to see it when he opened the door. But Wang Yanqing didn't dare to gamble that what Lu Heng did, he would definitely find out when he got close. By then, it would be completely unstoppable.
Wang Yanqing felt a headache just thinking about that scene, even if Lu Heng said that he was an enemy all over the place, he shouldn't be so ugly. Being an official of the same dynasty, looking up and not looking down, being able to make one less feud is one.
Therefore, Wang Yanqing wanted to resolve the matter privately as much as possible. She didn't remember what happened before her memory loss, but she told Zhenyuan Hou again frankly that her words had already been confessed like this, and it would be shameless for Fu Tingzhou to keep entangled. And second brother, it is best not to know.
At least not on the surface.
Wang Yanqing was afraid that Lu Heng would come in, so she hurried out and closed the door with her backhand as soon as she went out. Wang Yanqing felt that since Fu Tingzhou could come in, she would definitely be able to go out by herself. She blocked Lu Heng outside. If Lu Heng still caught Fu Tingzhou, then Fu Tingzhou should stop messing around and deserve to be rectified.
Lu Heng went to the troubled place, and after a while, he understood. He thought to himself that Fu Tingzhou was not completely stupid, but it was too late.
Lu Heng immediately left the city and rushed to the suburban manor. He came to the waterside according to the eunuch's instructions, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the guards guarding outside, and Lingxi Lingluan guarding the door of a house, with a strange expression. Lu Heng understood at a glance, he was so angry that he burst out laughing in his heart. Fu Tingzhou, it's good, they all came here.
When he is dead
Lu Heng's tone was calm, his face was as usual, as if he was talking about the weather, and he couldn't see the slightest emotion. But this is often the most terrifying, Lingxi Lingluan hurriedly knelt down, and before they could speak, the door suddenly opened from the inside. A woman with icy muscles and bones ran out, as if she was afraid of being seen, and hurriedly closed the door.
Wang Yanqing smiled casually and took the initiative to meet Lu Heng: "Second brother, why are you here?"
After seeing Wang Yanqing, Lu Heng smiled lightly. He looked at her with a smile, as if he didn't find the loophole in Wang Yanqing's language: "I've agreed to come with you, how can I miss the appointment?"
Wang Yanqing was afraid that Lu Heng would investigate further, so she tried her best to pretend to touch Lu Heng's arm casually, and led him out with a smile: "Really? Second brother, are you finished with the affairs in your yamen?"
Lu Heng let her go out with her little tricks. When he turned around, the corners of Lu Heng's eyes seemed to swept through the closed door behind him, and said lightly, "Some small flies are nothing to talk about. Qingqing, I heard that you stayed here as soon as you came in and never went out. Why? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Wang Yanqing bit the bullet and said, "Second brother, you are not here, I am not interested, I am just waiting for you here."
Lu Heng finally laughed when he heard this, he stopped paying attention to the thin door behind him, held Wang Yanqing's hand hanging on his arm, and said, "Then if I don't come today, you will wait all day. on?"
"That's right." Wang Yanqing didn't exaggerate this time, and didn't want to say, "I'm so good at being alone, everything only makes sense if I have a second brother."
Wang Yanqing spoke naturally, without deliberately covering up her voice, and everyone in the room could hear it as long as they paid attention. Lu Heng clenched her hand and said with a smile, "That's not possible. How can you be vain? There is a beautiful flowerbed in Zhuangzi. I'll take you there."
