Sunlight fills the room, and the tea on the table has dissipated the heat, making it cool and calm.
Suddenly a hand swept over, and the white porcelain tea cup fell to the ground and shattered, with tea shards flying everywhere.
This sound also made Mr. Xiahou, who was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed with one hand supporting his Yi and the other covering his head as if sleeping, turn around. He looked at the broken porcelain on the ground, and then at Mrs. Xiahou sitting at the table.
Mrs. Xiahou's face was pale and her chest was heaving.
"You..." What Mr. Xiahou wanted to say finally turned into a sigh, "The teacup is not guilty."
"Then who is guilty?" Mrs. Xiahou shouted and looked at Mr. Xiahou. The usually dignified woman looked confused, "Are we guilty? Why did Lu Yizhi treat us like this?"
Upon hearing this name, Mr. Xiahou's eyes turned gloomy and his face became even more haggard.
Just then Lu Yizhi came.
The Xiahou couple were not surprised, because Miss Xiahou had already told them that Lu Yizhi was going to the palace to see His Majesty and accuse Huo Lian of his misdeeds, and then "I will go with him to pick up Miss Qixing."
Mrs. Xiahou did not stop her daughter from doing this, and asked Mr. Xiahou: "They are young and will not be looked down upon by Huo Lian. How about I go too, and don't make an ugly scene with Huo Lian, holding gifts?"
Go and thank him for the treatment. This way the girl's reputation will be much better, at least she won't be forced to confess her innocence by rumors."
Mr. Xiahou said: "They are two young people who have trouble with Huo Lian. There is still room for change. If you go now and Huo Lian is rude to you, Your Majesty will have to step in."
He said and shook his head.
"Your Majesty is the most afraid of being persecuted."
Speaking of the emperor, Mr. Xiahou had a complicated expression. In order to escape from the world, he specially taught this unpopular prince. Who would have thought that this prince would become the emperor in the end.
Destiny is really unpredictable.
Because this prince was not favored and did not have many close friends, he was one of them, so he originally wanted to hide away from the world, but was greeted by the student emperor, "Please help me, teacher." Of course, he could not refuse, and entered the Imperial College.
Your Majesty selects Tai students and new officials.
The emperor respected him, but he also knew this student very well. Because he had not been favored since childhood and was raised by a prince, he had a sensitive, suspicious and ruthless temperament.
"It's enough to make this matter a fuss, and Yi Zhi can clearly explain his relationship with this woman and show his attitude of making the decision for her. No one will look down on him." He said, "As for that woman...
.”
He shook his head.
Mrs. Xiahou also understood that if she said something harsh, Rou Baozi would never come back.
Can a human fight against a dog?
The couple were chatting here, and soon the servant reported that Mr. Lu was here.
Mrs. Xiahou originally wanted to call Miss Xiahou over and give them a few words before letting them go out, but Lu Yizhi came in and stopped her, "No need to invite senior sister here yet." After saying that, she lifted her clothes and knelt down to bow to her.
Xiahou and his wife were shocked.
"You have something to say." Mrs. Xiahou said hurriedly, thinking that she was kneeling down to thank Miss Xiahou for going with him to show her face. Moreover, she was still in a family of evil people that everyone avoided. "Get up, scholar, you can't kneel down easily.
"
Lu Yizhi did not stand up, but knelt straight and looked at Xiahou and his wife, saying, "The student has failed his teacher, his wife, and his sister."
Lost.
Those two gentle words were like arrows being shot towards me.
Mrs. Xiahou stretched out her hand to press her heart, still feeling a dull pain at this moment.
He said that after entering the palace and becoming a saint, he understood Huo Lian's power and position better and knew that it was almost impossible to get Miss Qixing back.
But no matter what, he couldn't abandon Miss Qixing.
"Miss Qixing's orphan girl is entrusted to the Lu family. Even if she can no longer be married, she must be protected throughout her life."
"The Lu family cannot let Tuobi's daughter be so unclear."
"We cannot allow teachers to have students who are married to powerful traitors."
Therefore, he told the emperor that Miss Qixing was his fiancée and he would not marry her.
Fiancée.
I won’t marry him unless she is the one.
Who would have thought that Lu Yizhi would fight Huo Lian for that woman.
Mrs. Xiahou was in a daze. She had no memory of what Mr. Xiahou said or how Lu Yizhi left. She only had one thought in her mind: Lu Yizhi had a fiancée, so what was their family? What was her daughter?
"He is bullying us!" Mrs. Xiahou stood up and shouted angrily, "I also want to go into the palace and explain to His Majesty!"
Mr. Xiahou hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her: "What are you going to say?"
"You, who are a good teacher, have never taken away husbands, forced others to do anything, or made threats in the name of teacher and student." Mrs. Xiahou said, her expression was angry and her eyes were red because of the anger and humiliation.
Does Lu Yizhi know if he does this, how will the Xiahou family be speculated?
What else did he say just now? Is this just for Mr. Xiahou’s face?
How can they have any face?
Mr. Xiahou sighed softly: "Madam, if your Majesty asks us if we know about the existence of this young lady, how should you answer?"
Mrs. Xiahou opened her mouth: "I..."
"We should take care of our losses first," said Mr. Xiahou.
"It's Lu Yizhi. He didn't say they were related. He only said that this woman was obsessed with him." Mrs. Xiahou said angrily, "We were also deceived."
Mr. Xiahou said: "I knew clearly that there was such a woman in his family, so I believed whatever he said without checking carefully. I also allowed him to come in and out of the house at will and interact with his daughter. This is why I don't know people well, employ people without checking them, and even know that.
I don’t care, but I have evil thoughts. I can’t be a good example to others.”
Mrs. Xiahou looked at him with a sad and angry expression: "Then we will definitely suffer the loss?"
Mr. Xiahou smiled and said, "I'm done with it. Who wants me to be greedy?"
Greedy for this student’s talent, greedy for this student’s appearance, greedy for this student’s intelligence, greedy for…money.
Mrs. Xiahou sat back down in shock.
"We are old, and our faces are rough and wrinkled, but I, Qing, am young enough, but what should I do?"
"We, Qing, are so innocent!"
Why did Lu Yizhi sacrifice his own life? He sacrificed A-Qing's life!
…
…
In the boudoir, Miss Xiahou, who had already dressed for going out, was sitting upright and suddenly smiled.
The maid's face turned pale, she knelt down, shook Miss Xiahou's knee, and shouted with sobs: "Miss, if you want to cry, just cry, don't hold it in."
Although Lu Yizhi did not ask to call Miss Xiahou when he came in, the maid who got the news naturally followed him and waited for him to finish talking to Mrs.
The maidservant felt like thunder was exploding in her ears at that time. How could it be possible? How could she hear Third Young Master Lu saying that she would not marry anyone other than someone else?
That Seven Star was snatched away by Huo Lian. How did he become Mr. Lu and tell the emperor that she was his fiancée?
What is that lady?
Maybe she is not smart enough to understand what Lu Yizhi said. The young lady is smart and has always been in harmony with Mr. Lu. Let the young lady listen! Let the young lady ask!
She stumbled back and told the lady, but the lady did not rush to ask Lu Yizhi, but slowly sat down, as if a stone statue had stopped moving.
She heard from older people that sad people sometimes can't cry and can choke themselves to death.
Not only did the young lady not cry, she actually smiled.
"Miss——" the maid cried.
"I'm fine." Miss Xiahou said, patting the maid's hand, looking at the door, and smiled again, "I'm laughing, I guessed it right."
That time she was waiting for Lu Yizhi to deliver the plum blossoms, but he gave them to Qixing. At that time, she had an idea, wondering if Mr. Lu would abandon her because of Qixing next time.
Sure enough, I guessed it right.
…
…
"Young Master, Young Master..."
In the Lu residence, the servant followed the young master who entered the inner room. When he saw him taking off his cloak and taking off his outer robe, he couldn't help but ask questions.
"Aren't you going to Huo Zhai with Miss Xiahou?"
Why did he enter Xiahou's house and come out not long after, without Miss Xiahou following him, he just let him back and looked like he would never go out again after returning home.
That bitch is still in Huo's house. She has a lot of dreams at night.
Lu Yizhi motioned to the waiter in the room to pour tea.
"I'm not going." He said, "I won't be going in the future." He raised his hand to signal to the boy, "Go quickly and fetch the master and his wife to prepare for my marriage to Qixing."
The young man blinked, he understood that he was going to get married, but who and whom?
"Miss Qixing and I." Lu Yizhi said again.
The boy opened his mouth wide. After pouring the tea, the boy who was bringing it over was even more shocked and forgot to pass the tea forward.
"Sir, why?" the boy stammered.
Why do you want to marry Qixing?
Isn’t she Miss Xiahou?
Why? Lu Yizhi took the tea from the boy's hand.
"Of course it's for the sake of faith," he said.
The light tea lingers in your nose.
As a disciple of Mr. Xiahou, appointed by the Emperor to the Imperial Academy, he must not be associated with a ruthless and powerful official like Huo Lian because he is pure and innocent.
At this time, it was explained that Qixing was his sister, or cousin. The emperor offered marriage, but he could not refuse. If he refused, he would offend the emperor. If he did not refuse, he would be abandoned by the emperor.
If Qixing is not a sister but a foster daughter, then there is no reason to prevent the emperor from granting a marriage. Once the marriage is granted, Qixing's identity and origin are still inseparable from him. If the emperor abandons him, other officials will regard him as Huo Lian.
party.
So when he learned that Qixing was brought into the house by Huo Lian, he said it was too bad.
He is unique and very self-aware.
When he is in front of the emperor, Mr. Xiahou's disciples can make him look at him one more time, and the talented and learned Hanlin officials can make his majesty look at him one more time, but it is only one more look.
However, an official who is personally selected by His Majesty, has a clean financial background, is a Confucian scholar, is young and promising, and has a personal enmity with Huo Lian for taking away his wife, and is an incompatible official, should be able to stop His Majesty's attention.
The emperor will not tolerate a cruel official forever.
Cool officials have always been needed from time to time.
But the emperor would not personally deal with a cruel official.
The emperor needs cruel staff to make a sword, and at the same time, he also needs an upright and trustworthy civil servant to make a sword to get rid of the infamous sword.
Sure enough, after he did that today, the emperor looked at him differently than when he first entered the palace.
Lu Yizhi blew the tea gently.
Things will be easier to handle now.
He drew a clear line with Huo Lian. He was no longer someone's student in front of the emperor, but truly became a minister of the emperor.
As for the Seven Stars...
When Qixing comes back, no matter whether she is bruised or ravaged, he will marry her.
If she could not come back and died, he also let her enter the Lu family's ancestral grave, and the memorial tablet of Lu's wife was placed in the ancestral hall.
He sincerely wanted her to be his wife.
Lu Yizhi drank the tea in one gulp.
Don’t worry if you don’t understand. I can’t write a chapter clearly. You can understand it by reading chapter by chapter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. For example, I have a walnut-sized brain, but I still like Western Fantasy. Embers of the Deep has more than one million words.
After reading it, I couldn't even remember the names of the people, but it didn't stop me from having fun reading it. I followed the silly fun. You don't need to think too much when reading a novel. It's enough to have what you like and make you happy. Take it easy.
