The head of the family, Lu Jingnan, and the Chief Secretary participated in politics from the left, and barely managed to squeeze into the court.
If he were placed at a local level, he would be considered a high official.
But unfortunately, in this capital city where purple uniforms are everywhere, the official title of the third rank is really not enough.
Not to mention compared to Wei Xianzhi, who has almost all the "dirty information" on court officials.
However, the Lu family is not unknown, mainly because Lu Jingnan has a daughter who "loves poetry and prose, is elegant and unrivaled in vulgarity, and has the power to captivate the country and the city."
This is the original quote in the book.
The person he was referring to was of course Lu Jingyao.
As for why all the ladies have feelings for Xiao Feng, a commoner, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, all the women in the novel feel as if they have lost their minds when they see the protagonist. They wish they could immediately throw themselves into his arms and commit themselves to him.
Lu Jingyao is naturally the same.
If things develop normally, she will be snatched away by Xiao Feng tomorrow, break up with the Lu family, and eventually become Xiao Feng's virtuous wife, living happily with a group of "sisters".
It sounds pretty good, but Wei Changtian is planning to cut off his beard now.
After all, Lu Jingyao can be regarded as the heroine who has a lot of roles in the book.
As long as he takes her down, she will follow him wholeheartedly from now on...
Tsk tsk tsk, you will definitely earn a lot of system points.
…
The curtain slowly opened.
Lu Jingyao, wearing only light gauze clothes, lay motionless on the bed, her jade-like skin that could be broken was looming, and her cheeks were full of tears.
She looked straight at Wei Changtian, with resentment, disgust, fear, and despair in her eyes, but no good impression at all.
To be fair, Wei Changtian is actually quite handsome.
This matter is evidenced by the author's words - the commanders in the world are divided into ten battles, the reader has eight battles for himself, Wei has one battle, and all the people in the world are divided into one battle.
It's just that unlike Mr. Reader, who is both talented and beautiful, the former protagonist's good looks cannot hide the fact that he is actually a useless person with a cruel nature, twisted psychology, and no learning or skills.
No woman will really like this kind of man.
Especially Lu Jingyao, who has considerable artistic attainments, cannot accept it at all.
After all, young literary and artistic women all have a bit of idealism.
When she thought of this "trash" lying naked on her body, breathing disgusting breath, and her body squirming like maggots... Lu Jingyao felt so sick that she wished she could bite her tongue and commit suicide on the spot.
But unfortunately she couldn't do it.
That’s all…
Just think of it as exchanging the body that you wanted to leave to Xiao Feng for the lives of one hundred and eighty people in the Lu family...
The last teardrop slipped from her beautiful eyes, and Lu Jingyao slowly closed her eyes, not wanting to see what was going to happen next.
This is her last dignity.
However, at the next moment, Wei Changtian suddenly said something she had never expected in a tone she had least expected.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you as long as you don't want to."
…
From Wei Changtian's perspective, he can indeed capture Lu Jingyao now.
However, in this way, we will only get her body. It is estimated that one day in the future, this woman who is full of Xiao Feng will be able to die.
So complete conquest is the best policy.
Although it's a bit difficult, it's totally worth giving it a try in order to earn more system points.
Noticing that Lu Jingyao's eyelids twitched slightly, Wei Changtian continued in a deep voice:
"Although I have done all bad things, I will never go back on what I promised."
"The reason why I came to see you tonight is because I want to talk to you about something."
"If you are willing, open your eyes and I will relieve your acupuncture point right away."
"If you still don't open your eyes after five puffs, I'll turn around and leave."
"..."
The evening breeze squeezed in through the cracks in the unclosed window, passing through my ears like smoke, blowing the gauze curtains and swaying slightly.
Wei Changtian didn't speak anymore, and his breathing was steady and natural.
On the other hand, Lu Jingyao's chest was rising and falling violently.
one two three……
Finally, when she counted to the fourth breath, she seemed to muster up all her courage and opened her eyes. Although her eyes were still full of disgust, they were a little more curious than before.
Wei Changtian didn't waste any time, and stretched out his hand to tap on her Fengfu, Tongtian, Jade Pillow and other acupuncture points.
Internal force enters the acupuncture points through the fingertips, and Qi and blood circulate again throughout the body.
"Hmm~"
The sudden numbness made Lu Jingyao moan uncontrollably, and immediately closed her eyes again.
Full of shame and anger, the sensation in my hands and feet gradually recovered, and my brain took over control of my body again.
In an instant, she sat up from the bed like a frightened little rabbit.
The shapely and smooth long legs were tightened together, and the arms as white and tender as lotus roots were tightly hugged to the chest.
Lu Jingyao curled up into a ball and looked at the bed with extreme vigilance, but she suddenly became confused the next second.
Because there was no sign of Wei Changtian around at all.
The goose-yellow gauze curtain completely covered the bed, and his clothes were neatly stacked beside the pillow.
"..."
Her eyes widened and she was stunned for a long time before she spat softly.
"Pooh!"
…
In the hall outside the screen, two people sat opposite each other at a small table.
Lu Jingyao looked at Wei Changtian opposite who was calmly drinking tea. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. It took a long time before she snorted coldly and asked:
"If you unlock my acupuncture points, aren't you afraid that I will seek death?"
"Seeking death?"
Wei Changtian said with a smile: "If you really want to die, you had plenty of opportunities before, so why wait until today."
"you!"
Lu Jingyao trembled and suddenly took out a jade hairpin from her sleeve and put the tip directly on her neck.
"It's not that I don't dare! Before..."
"hehe."
Disdainful laughter interrupted her argument. Wei Changtian didn't even raise his head. He just reached out and tapped the empty teacup in front of him and uttered two words coldly.
"Pour tea."
"..."
The air in the room froze instantly. Lu Jingyao's eyes widened and her face slowly turned pale.
Wei Changtian was not in a hurry, he just lowered his head and waited.
It wasn't until the hosta fell to the ground and broke into two sections, and the light brown tea was tremblingly poured into the teacup, that he nodded gently.
"Thanks."
"Boom!"
The small purple sand teapot suddenly fell to the table, and Lu Jingyao's expression of disbelief was even worse than before.
It was obvious that in her mind, the man in front of her should not say these two words under any circumstances.
"You, how did you..."
"Why is it different from before? Really?"
Wei Changtian straightened the teapot and said calmly: "What you see may be just what others want you to see."
"..."
Lu Jingyao was stunned for a moment.
There is no doubt that this sentence brought a great shock to her heart.
Countless questions came to mind, but Wei Changtian didn't give her a chance to ask again, and instead brought the topic back on track.
"Forget about me, let's talk about our marriage."
"I know you are not only unwilling to marry me, but you even hate me."
"So I came to see you today because I actually want to give you one more choice."
"choose……"
Lu Jingyao suddenly looked over and frowned slightly.
She never thought that Wei Changtian would give her a chance to choose.
"Well, you have a choice."
Wei Changtian seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. He raised his head and looked directly into Lu Jingyao's slightly flashing eyes, and continued:
"I can go to my father early tomorrow morning to cancel the marriage, and I will try my best to persuade him not to touch the Lu family."
"But what he will do in the end, I can't promise you anything."
"If you want to keep the Lu family safe, then stop struggling pointlessly and cooperate to complete the wedding tomorrow."
"As for what you want to do in the future, I won't force you, as long as you stay in the Wei family within half a year."
"During this period of time, we don't have to be husband and wife, but we must have the name of husband and wife."
"If you still insist on leaving after half a year, I will never force you to stay."
"This can be regarded as a decent explanation for us to give to both families."
"That's all I have to say. You should think carefully about whether to get married or not."
After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he lowered his head and started drinking tea by himself.
But Lu Jingyao fell into silence for a long time, with a look of struggle on her face.
After a long time, she raised her head with some anxiety and asked in a low voice: "What about Xiao Feng? What should I do before you are willing to let him go?"
Xiao Feng?
Good guy!
Even now, I’m still thinking about the protagonist!
Are you really dead set?
Wei Changtian understood that the reason why Lu Jingyao asked this question was because he felt that Xiao Feng could not defeat him, so he wanted to save the life of his "sweetheart" in this way.
Haha, I'm dreaming.
Looking over with slightly squinted eyes, Wei Changtian answered without hesitation: "He must die."
"Wha, what..."
Lu Jingyao's face, which finally regained some color, suddenly turned pale again.
She leaned forward eagerly, holding an embroidered silk tightly in her hand, and there was no trace of arrogance in her stammering tone.
"Please, please let Xiao Feng go..."
"I can marry you! I will try my best to be your wife! I will never disobey you again in the future..."
"Me, Xiao Feng and I have never had any physical contact..."
"I said he must die."
Wei Changtian interrupted Lu Jingyao's plea with a deep voice.
When he heard his fiancée pleading for another man, there was no anger in his voice. He just stated calmly: "You have no third choice."
"..."
Lu Jingyao closed her mouth instantly, and big tears fell on a line of small words embroidered on the handkerchief.
Wei Changtian glanced casually, his gaze lingering for a moment.
If you fail me, I will not fail you.
"This sentence……"
He looked away and asked knowingly: "Did Xiao Feng say that?"
"..."
Lu Jingyao clutched the handkerchief tightly, gritted her teeth and lowered her head in silence.
Wei Changtian suddenly felt that this girl was a little miserable.
In the novel, although Xiao Feng later accepted her, he actually didn't care much about her at first.
Even tomorrow's wedding robbery was actually just an accident and was not originally part of Xiao Feng's plan.
So in the final analysis, she is just like myself, she is just a tool for the protagonist to show off better.
"well……"
Wei Changtian sighed softly, stood up without saying anything, turned around and walked out of the house.
Perhaps out of emotion, as he walked he blurted out a poem that anyone who had received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life could recite.
"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
Wei Changtian's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible.
And when this poem came to Lu Jingyao's ears, the tear line like a bead curtain suddenly broke.
She suddenly raised her head and stared at Wei Changtian's back, her expression a little dazed, a little stunned, and a little dull.
There is also a kind of excitement and sadness that are clearly contradictory but exist at the same time.
"I originally set my heart towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch..."
He murmured several times unconsciously, but when he looked around again, the person who said this was already gone.
Who is the bright moon? Who is the ditch?
The real moon hung high in the night sky outside the window, and the entire Wei Mansion was silent except for the sound of a series of footsteps gradually receding.
Lu Jingyao suddenly and inexplicably felt for Wei Changtian for the first time any emotion other than disgust and fear.
This is a kind of instinctive curiosity of human beings towards mysterious things.
