The darkness before dawn is not ordinary, it is really dark. The moon has long since sunk, and there is no starlight at all. Most of the monks have gone to rest, and the servants have nothing to do, let alone wandering around at this time.
It was dark and cold, and there was a special biting coldness and heart-stopping tension in the air.
Lin Jinrong didn't dare to light a lantern. She was afraid of meeting people and felt anxious. The road she was used to walking was very difficult and long at this time. She always felt stumbling. She was a little anxious and wanted to cry. Thanks to
Fangzhu was steady and held her firmly, not forgetting to look around vigilantly.
Finally, she saw the white lantern hanging in front of Lu Lun's yard, but suddenly there was the sound of footsteps behind her. Lin Jinrong turned around and saw several lanterns floating towards this side. It was too late! She slammed Fangzhu.
With a push, she picked up her skirt and ran forward quickly.
She only ran two steps away when she was hugged by Fangzhu. Fangzhu dragged her towards the flowers and trees beside the road and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandma is dead, you can't go there. You can't tell anyone if they see you!"
The courtyard door is locked, and there are people watching inside. What can you do in a hurry? Slow down, there is still a way."
Lin Jinrong broke her hand hard and said, "No, I'll run over and throw a stone and shout." Lu Lun knew the danger and would definitely run. He was the best at climbing over walls. He ran first and then talked.
Fangzhu gritted his teeth: "You are out of control! Now most of the time you just call the fifth master to ask questions. The matter is not clear yet. Who will do it to him? But you, people see you running here without sleeping and running around in the dark.
What to do!"
Lin Jinrong shouted in a low voice: "Let me go, what do you know! If you are really good for me, then let me go quickly." They didn't know anything. She couldn't afford to gamble, this was a human life. She only hated herself earlier
He was indecisive, imagining that the time had not come yet, and nothing big would happen for the time being. He also always wanted to find out the information clearly before taking action, hoping that Lu Mian would manage to get the certificate certificate, remove Lu Lun from his household registration, and leave each household separately.
They lived together, keeping away from each other and not getting involved with each other, hoping that others would let Lu Lun go. But when things really happened, she realized that all her previous plans had failed, forcing her to panic. If she didn't try her best now,
It is useless to regret it later. However, her personal power is so small!
Fangzhu had never seen her so nervous before. He gritted his teeth and said, "You can't go there. I have an excuse to go there, saying it's to spread a message or something. You wait here while I go!" before Lin Jinrong could answer.
, there was a soft knock at the courtyard door, and Lu Lun walked out in mourning clothes, accompanied by Lu Jianzhong's capable steward.
She was still late. It seemed that Lu Jianzhong had already sent someone to find Lu Lun. Lin Jinrong's whole body was cold and she hid in the shadows close to Fang Zhu. She watched the people behind her quickly pass by them and head toward Lu Lun.
Lu Lun walked away. She could see clearly that the leader was Zhu Jianfu, the confidant and steward Lu Jianxin brought home, and the others were bulky servants, probably to prevent Lu Lun from running away if he disobeyed.
Lu Lun stood high on the steps, exuding a calmness and solemnity that Lin Jinrong had never seen before. Zhu Jianfu stood at the foot of the steps and saluted him with a smile on his face: "Fifth Master, I'm sorry, the eldest master and the second
The master has an order, please go to Tingxue Pavilion."
Lu Lun stood there with a calm expression. The pale lantern illuminated his face a little white, and his whole person was filled with a layer of deserted white. His voice was not loud, calm and clear: "Lao Zhu is in charge.
.”
Obviously, it was not the right time to show up at this time. Lin Jinrong grabbed Fangzhu's hand, turned around and got into the flowers and trees, quickly turning back along the shadows like a cat. The crisis stimulated the potential in her body, and she could not feel the bounce of the flowers and tree branches at all.
The pain that came back scratched her body, and she could not feel the obstacles. She walked faster than Fangzhu, and her movements were more dexterous. Fangzhu followed her quietly, only silently pulling some branches of flowers and trees apart for her.
Lin Jinrong walked to the intersection of the inner and outer courtyards, stood under the lantern, smoothed her hair, straightened her clothes, and asked Fangzhu: "How are you doing?"
Fangzhu carefully straightened her collar and said, "That's enough. It's still dark, so grandma stands in the shadows and can't see anything."
Lin Jinrong raised his eyes and looked at the horizon. It was still as dark as a thick mass of ink that could not be melted away. The Sanskrit chants of monks performing rituals could be heard in the distance, and a new day had begun again.
Zhu Jianfu silently guided Lu Lun forward, while watching Lu Lun's every move vigilantly. As a confidant who has been with Lu Jianxin for a long time and has seen many big and small things, conspiracies and intrigues, he is well-informed.
, has a certain sense of judgment. Even if the master's words were unclear and he was not allowed to know the whole thing, based on the few words and emotions that the masters inadvertently revealed, he could determine that something serious had happened to the Lu family.
What happened, probably caused some trouble, and the root cause lies with this dark and strong fifth master, who is said to be very brave and powerful.
Look, he just called to ask a question, so he called a few powerful servants to follow him, and the stewards around Lu Jianzhong followed him, and asked him to guard him. He could understand Lu Jianxin's eyes and tone best, that was
Lu Lun wanted him to get things done. Lu Lun was very silent, with his back straight and every step he took very steadily. He didn't even try to ask him about the reason and purpose of his trip. He was completely unprepared when the junior was suddenly summoned by his elders.
of panic and uncertainty.
Zhu Jianfu still remembers that when he followed Lu Jianxin when he was in office, Lu Yan also followed Lin Yuzhen, and when Lu Yun was with Lu Jianxin, Lu Jianxin would often call him suddenly to inform Lu Yan to check his homework or take him out to meet guests.
Sometimes it was scolding. Lu Yan was still young at that time. He was obviously uneasy and scared to death, but he never took the initiative to ask what Lu Jianxin wanted to do with him. He also tried his best to straighten his back and make a
He looked calm and composed. From this aspect, the two brothers were very similar.
There are two women standing at the corner in front. One of them is slim and slim, taking a step forward, while the other lowers her head and lowers her hands, taking a step back. Those who can assume such a posture must be the mistresses of the Lu family. Who is it? Zhu Jianfumi
He opened his eyes and looked over, but it was too dark and the two men were standing in semi-darkness, so he couldn't see clearly.
The two sides gradually got closer, and he heard Lu Lun shout: "Second sister-in-law, why are you here so early?" Then he saw clearly that it was Lin Jinrong.
"It's getting late, I should go wait for the eldest lady to get up for breakfast." Lin Jinrong had a hint of surprise on his face, and his eyes quickly scanned around them, "Where are you going so early, brother five?"
Lu Lun smiled kindly at Lin Jinrong: "It's okay, it's just a small matter. I'll go over and take care of it."
"That's it." Lin Jinrong waved to him: "That's right, I have something to ask you, come here."
Zhu Jianfu hesitated a little, then smiled and saluted Lin Jinrong and said hello: "I want to say hello to the Second Mistress. It's urgent. The First Master and the Second Master are waiting for the Fifth Master."
Under the light, Lin Jinrong's smile looked cold, his eyes were cold, and his voice was very arrogant: "Why, Manager Zhu, why can't I just say a word to the Fifth Master? I won't delay you for anything."
At this point, it was impossible for Zhu Jianfu to go against the future mistress of the house. He said respectfully: "I don't dare, Second Grandma, please do it." Then he called a few other people to step aside. Lu Jianzhong's confidant seemed to have something.
He had different opinions, but he also stopped him.
Lin Jinrong signaled Lu Lun to go aside with her: "Uncle Wu, come here."
Lu Lunmei's eyes were full of irritation and uneasiness, but she still walked over patiently: "What's the matter? If Second Sister-in-law is not in a hurry, we can talk about it later, okay?"
Lin Jinrong approached him and lowered his voice: "Run away quickly, otherwise your life will be in danger."
Lu Lun's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he stared at Lin Jinrong with wide eyes. Lin Jinrong looked at him firmly, with an unquestionable expression on his face: "Don't eat anything."
But in one breath, Lin Jinrong felt that a lifetime of vicissitudes had changed. She saw the light in Lu Lun's eyes brighten, then slowly extinguish, turning into a deathly silence. "Ha..." He laughed softly,
The tone was calm and soft: "It's cold, Second Sister-in-law, please go back quickly."
He didn't believe it? He didn't believe that his close relatives would poison him? Did he think that even if he did such a thing, he would just leave and others wouldn't do anything to him? Lin Jinrong wanted to strangle him awake: "You
Why do you think I didn’t sleep and came here to blow the cold wind and wait for you?”
Lu Lun sighed: "I know. Thank you, second sister-in-law. When you meet my second brother, you also remember to say thank you to him."
Lin Jinrong burst into tears: "You..."
Lu Lun had already turned around and walked away. Lin Jinrong took two steps forward and tried to stop him. Lu Lun turned around and looked at her with a gentle expression. He said eight words in a very low voice, and then loudly greeted Zhu Jianfu and others: "Let's go."
ah."
Finally, a hint of fish belly white appeared on the horizon. Lin Jinrong stared blankly at Lu Lun's retreating back. Two drops of warm tears flowed down her cheeks. When they reached her lips, they were so cold that they were bone-chilling. She hissed and told Fang Zhu: "
Quick, go find the second master and come back! No matter what he is doing, tell him to come back." She picked up her skirt and ran towards Rongjingju with all her strength. Although Lu Lun's voice was very low just now, she heard it clearly.
What he said was: "Long life, peace and joy."
Why didn't he believe her words? Why didn't he understand her words? He understood everything, knew everything, but he still went, made a choice, and was willing to bear the responsibilities he should bear. Words of thanks and blessings,
This was his last message and blessing to her and Lu Mian.
Lin Jinrong ran as fast as she could and rushed into Rongjing Juli. She bumped into Su Xin who had gotten up early. Su Xin asked curiously: "Second Grandma, where are you from? What are you going to do?"
Lin Jinrong grabbed her collar and panted: "I have something urgent to see the old lady!"
