Ye Chengguan and Hua Rujin sent Zhu Zhiye back to the post house. As soon as they returned to the Inspectorate, they saw Ting An walking in quietly.
"Is everything done?"
Ye Chengguo saw that he was mysterious, as if he was hiding something.
Ting An nodded, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master Lu is here."
Ye Chengguan was stunned when he heard this. Just as he was about to refuse to meet, Ting An immediately added: "Master Lu said he wanted to see Miss Hua."
"Governor Hua is a stranger to him. Why did he ask to see Governor Hua for no reason?"
Ye Chenggui was very puzzled and didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Ming was selling in his gourd.
"I just keep hearing people mention that there is a very courageous and intelligent female governor next to Mr. Ye. I want to come over and see her true appearance. Why should Mr. Ye be so wary?"
Lu Ming walked in minding his own business, looked at Hua Rujin with kind eyes, and said with a smile: "Miss Hua shouldn't be so hostile to me, right?"
"Master Lu is joking."
Hua Rujin now knew about the relationship between Ye Chengguan and Lu Ming. Although it was not clear whether the father and son had any quarrel, after all, he was his biological father, so he had to show some respect and politely replied: "Yes. It is my blessing to be summoned by Mr. Lu, so how dare I be disrespectful?"
"That's good, that's good."
Lu Ming nodded with satisfaction, then turned to Ye Chengguan and said, "Then let's borrow it from Mr. Ye's office. Can it be convenient?"
Ye Chenggui was naturally unwilling, and Hua Rujin also noticed that there was some awkwardness between father and son, and hurriedly told Ye Chenggui: "Sir, you go and do your business first. I will go over as soon as I finish talking to Mr. Lu."
Ye Chengguan was silent for a moment. He had already reminded Lu Ming not to interfere in his private affairs. Thinking that he would not embarrass Hua Rujin over this matter again, he led Ting An out of the government office with peace of mind.
When only the flowers were left in the hall, Lu Ming slowly sat down and motioned for her to sit down with him. Then he casually chatted about family affairs: "I have heard about Miss Hua and Quanzi's marriage. , I can’t blame you when this matter is investigated. The intrigues in the inner house are not as easy as those in the court. The blame is only on the tricks of fate."
His words sounded a little touched by Hua Rujin.
Compared to Luo Chuhuai, the new chief minister is much more reasonable, but I don't know why he and Ye Chengguan don't get along well.
Could it be that he, like his scumbag father, had done something to disgrace Ye Chengkui and his mother?
But looking at this gentle man, he doesn't look like a beast in clothes.
"Master Lu understands the great righteousness, and I am deeply grateful. I think Master Lu came here today not just for this matter, right?"
Hua Rujin didn't expect the purpose of his trip at this time, so she asked straight to the point.
"To be honest, there has always been some grudge between me and Cheng Wei, and it's my fault to say the least."
Lu Ming told Hua Rujin the truth about his past, and then sighed repeatedly: "I failed their mother and son, so I have always wanted to compensate them, and I don't want Cheng Kuan and his mother to be hurt again."
Hua Rujin listened to his story carefully and thought about it again. In comparison, Father Ye was much better than Luo Chuhuai.
At least he didn't mean to hurt Qin Wanrou. As the new emperor ascended the throne, he naturally couldn't disobey the Xue family's marriage.
After all, this is a brain-dropping thing.
It's not like Luo Chuhuai, who was in debt everywhere and couldn't protect his children. He left himself and Hua Youen in Jiangling City without any attention, but now he wants to find his relatives.
Thinking about this, she could more or less understand Lu Ming's difficulties.
"Master Lu, there is no need to blame yourself. There are always times when people have no choice in life."
Anyway, I didn't want to comment on whether this person was right or wrong, so I had to agree casually.
"If adults could be as transparent as you, I would be happy."
Lu Ming said with a smile: "This child has grown up now and doesn't need me to worry about anything. It's just that he is really dull about feelings. But I see that he is unusual for you, Miss Hua."
As he said that, he looked at Dian Rujin thoughtfully and asked tentatively: "I think Miss Hua also has some feelings for Quanzi, otherwise she wouldn't have come all the way to the provincial capital to be his aide.
Is your guess right?"
"Master Lu is worrying too much."
Hua Rujin didn't know his intention, so she didn't dare to open her heart to him, and said casually: "Master Ye just pities the junior's background and wants to find a job for him to make a living. As for the junior, he is just a country girl.
I understand the importance of honor and inferiority, and have nothing but respect for Mr. Ye."
"Miss Hua is humbled."
Only then did Lu Ming realize that this girl was not simple. She had the same temperament as his son. She clearly had someone he could rely on, but she insisted on describing herself in such a miserable and pitiful manner.
Thinking about the relationship between his nemesis and her, he became increasingly uneasy, and gradually began to speak openly:
"It's rare for you two to be so sympathetic to each other. When I first entered the door, the boy was afraid that I would be harmful to you. I can also see that you are protecting him at all times. This makes me very happy and I hope that Miss Hua can watch her more.
He, please don't let him do stupid things again. There are a lot of people who want to take advantage of him right now, and I'm just afraid that he will be taken advantage of."
The more Hua Rujin listened, the more confused she became. She had no idea what he was referring to, so she replied with a stiff smile: "Master Lu is really worried too much. Mr. Ye has always been prudent and resourceful. Who can scheme against him?"
"Yeah?"
Lu Ming also smiled at her: "I bet Miss Hua is no stranger to Governor Luo of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. I have received reliable information that he sent someone to kidnap your cousin, but now he has ulterior motives for transferring him."
I gave it to Cheng Gu just in the hope that he would be at odds with Prince Yun. Miss Hua is ice-snow smart, so I don’t think I need to tell you about the details."
Hua Rujin has been speculating on why Luo Chuhuai left Hua Minze to Ye Chengwei, and finally got the answer at this time.
It turned out that he wanted to use Ye Chengguan to deal with King Yun.
Really sinister intentions.
"Now that the matter has come to an end, I won't hide it anymore. Let's open the skylight and speak openly."
Lu Ming said bluntly: "I know your life experience, but I have no hostility towards you. I know that this child Cheng Kuan has a crush on you. As his biological father, I am even willing to help you, but this Luo
The Chief Governor is really unreasonable. Not to mention the dirty things he did behind the scenes with King Fu and the Zhuo family, now in order to prevent Cheng Wei from thoroughly investigating the Zhuo family, he actually wants to use the hands of King Yun to get rid of Cheng Wei. It is simply ridiculous.
Extremely vicious."
After a pause, he continued: "Prince Yun and Prince Fu have tried to win over Cheng Wei many times. I think Governor Luo was worried about losing power in front of Prince Fu, so he came up with this vicious plan. I don't ask Miss Hua to do it."
I can help Cheng Gu, but I don’t want you to plot against him secretly like your father."
Hearing this, Hua Rujin roughly understood why this person came here today. It turned out that he was worried that he would follow Luo Chuhuai to frame Ye Chengwei.
"Mr. Lu, please rest assured that I am not from the Luo family. I have grown up in the Hua family since I was a child. Working with Mr. Ye, I have a deep understanding of the truth. Everything must be done clearly between public and private, and there must be no selfish motives."
Hua Rujin replied sincerely.
Although it's hard to convince him with one word of his own, that's all he can do at the moment.
