Chapter 291 Hunter’s Prey(1/2)
When Xie Zhan returned home, a confidant came to report, "Head of the family, Miss Lu, someone asked someone to pass on a message and said he wanted to see you."
After his confidant finished speaking, he lowered his head. This was the third time that Miss Lu had made an appointment with their patriarch.
Xie Zhan thought for a while, "Then let's go to Minghua Tower tomorrow night."
That night, Xie Zhan politely rejected the invitation to stay in the Chen Mansion and came out of the Chen Mansion.
As soon as I got on the carriage, I heard a confidant tribe tell him, "Class leader, Miss Lu has arrived at Minghua Tower for about an hour."
Xie Zhan's eyebrows were cold and his eyes turned his thumb's ring, "Go and take a look."
When passing by the city gate, Xie Zhan lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that the city gate was bright and the city gate guards were patrolling overnight.
Outside the city, countless victims were stopped outside, crying and shouting to enter the city.
"Class leader?"
"Continue to go."
When Xie Zhan arrived at Minghua Tower, he found Lu Fei drinking.
Seeing him arrive, she smiled, "Are you here?" Her eyes were a little drunk.
Xie Zhan sat upright and said lightly, "Let's talk when you wake up."
Lu Fei laughed, "Okay, I'll wash my face first." Then she raised her hand and signaled the maid to come up and help her.
Her personal maid looked at Xie Zhan with gratitude, and then helped her eldest lady into the inner side.
Xie Zhan drank the cup of tea and did not take a look at the wine scent next to him. He was outside, and he would never drink alcohol unless he had to force him. The situation of the Xie clan and his situation required him to remain sober and deal with everything.
misfortune.
On the inside, the sound of Lu Fei washing came faintly.
Xie Zhan sat upright, his posture did not change.
Lu Fei is the eldest daughter of Lu Yuan, the head of the Lu family, one of the six major families in the south. Her mother is Lu Yuan's original wife, but her mother died early and only gave birth to her one child.
Now Lu Xihua, the young leader of the Lu family, is born as his second wife, and Lu Fei and Lu Xihua are not close.
Lu Fei's mother Ruan was a lady of a famous family in Linchuan County. At that time, the Lu family was in crisis. Mr. Lu took his grandson to Linchuan to marry his friend's daughter. It is unknown how the conversation was discussed. Later, Ruan
He married into the Lu family with a large dowry and helped the Lu family through that crisis.
After the death of Ruan, although Lu Fei was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, she was not favored in the Lu family. Fortunately, she was treated well by Mr. Lu.
After Mr. Lu passed away, Lu Fei lived under his stepmother and his temperament became weaker and weaker.
The Ruan family in Linchuan saw that it was not possible, so they took her to live there for two years a few years ago. After she came back, her temperament became much cheerful and tough.
The stepmother and others dared not bully her again, but the two sides were tit-for-tat and secretly had no idea how many times they had fought.
Because Lu Fei was washing and Xie Zhan sat upright to drink tea, their private rooms were quite silent.
But the private room next door was very noisy.
Zhu Congwen, one of the six major families in the southern region, was hosting a banquet for friends at Minghua Tower.
"Zhu Congwen, your father is too cruel and actually sent you to Zhuya Island to endure hardship!"
"Yes, if he didn't love you, I would have doubted whether you were his biological son."
"You will not leave after coming back this time. If he asks you to Zhuya Island again, you will complain to your mother!"
Zhu Congwen sneered at their words, "Nothing is said, what do you know?! My father is so deep and harsh in love."
If his father hadn't sent him to Zhuya Island, how could he have fallen into a cave to find that big secret because he went hunting?
Now he was thinking about how to get the Chen family's little Zhu Yadao.
"No, does this hardship have anything to do with the deepest culprit of love? Brother Zhu, you should say, 'If your parents love their children, you will make plans for the long term'."
Zhu Congwen waved his hand, "Whatever! It's all the same thing anyway."
Others laughed dullly.
"Come on, let's drink one. I've been to Zhuya Island now. It's rare to come back once. Everyone must eat and drink well. If you don't have enough wine, take it, order it if you don't have enough food!"
"Brother Zhu, are you rich? You're so generous?"
"Hehe, I didn't get rich, it's just a rare trip to me." Zhu Congwen felt that his mouth was still very tight.
The private room where Xie Zhan is located is close to Zhu Congwen's private room. When someone comes in and out of the next door, there are also lively sounds inside.
Xie Zhan lowered his eyes and the fish had already arrived at the den, and then he was letting it take the bait.
At this time, Lu Fei washed up and came out, and he was awake.
Xie Zhan asked her directly, "What's the matter if you look for me again and again?"
Lu Fei didn't expect him to be so direct, so he smiled bitterly, and told him about his depression and anger at the Lu family.
Xie Zhan listened with a faint expression, and finally said, "Since you are dissatisfied, then resist." Xie Zhan believed that too many people had comforted her, and she should have heard of all kinds of comforts. He just said that
No more talkative.
"How to resist?"
"Think yourself."
Lu Fei tilted his head, "Like the girl you told me before?"
"You decide for yourself."
"Can you talk about her again?" Lu Fei begged.
Xie Zhan pondered for a moment, and Lu Fei stared at him tightly.
Finally Xie Zhan gave in, "You can..."
The last time there was a horse shock incident in Jingci Temple, she later found out that her carriage and horse were tampered with. The one who made the move was not someone else, but her good brother Lu Guanghua.
When she went to thank Xie Zhan, she was a little discouraged.
It was Xie Zhan who told her a story, and the story was a heroine.
The heroine has made a marriage since she was a child, but because of the unfamiliar family, everyone in the fiancé's family disliked her.
The story tells how she got rid of that bad engagement from a marriage contract at the mercy of others. After her own efforts, she got rid of that bad engagement and found another good marriage.
The original fiancé's family went from initial disgust to later being impressed by her wisdom.
In the end, the heroine became the actual ruler of the power of both the mother's family and the husband's family.
Xie Zhan used the shell of a mythological story to tell this story.
When Lu Fei heard this, he actually didn't agree with it. He just thought that the verbal script was the verbal script.
It was Xie Zhan who told her that the story was true and the heroine also existed.
It gave her great shock and inspiration at that time.
A few years ago, she was at the Ruan family, and her grandfather taught her to do business.
Sometimes she felt that Lu Guanghua was as stupid as a pig, and some decisions made people laugh. If her father had not checked him in the back, the Lu family wouldn't know how much money would have to be paid.
She used to laugh at her, but now, the heroine in Xie Zhan’s story can do that, why can’t she?
After Xie Zhan finished telling the story, he said, "If you don't want to rely on others to live, you have to work hard and no one can help you."
Lu Fei looked at the handsome but calm man in front of him, and asked in a strange way, "Can't you help me?"
Xie Zhan admitted directly, "Yes, I can't help you. The only thing people can rely on is always themselves."
After Lu Fei returned from Jingci Temple, someone asked someone to check Xie Zhan. She knew how hard he worked in the Chen family, and that he never gave up hope.
Lu Fei thought to himself, let’s give it a try, no matter how bad the situation is, it will not be worse than now.
Lu Fei confirmed with him, "Xie Zhan, is there really such a woman?"
"have."
"who is she?"
"If you have a chance in the future, I'll tell you."
Lu Fei was a little unhappy.
"You have been out for a long time. It's time to go back. Let's go, I'll take you out."
The two stood up.
The confidant servant at the door immediately said, "Class leader, I'll go prepare the carriage!" As he said that, he accidentally pushed the door, and tried too hard, and the door hit the wall and made a thump.
Xie Zhan frowned unhappily.
"Class leader, I'm sorry, I was too careless."
Xie Zhan said something not long after, and waved his hand to let him go down.
"Let's go, here-"
At this moment, the sound of the door hitting just now scared Zhu Congguang and others who were having fun in the box next door. The servant he brought was so scared that he accidentally sprinkled the wine in his glass on him.
