4. Lonely Sandbank (Part 2) (This chapter is free)
Chen Caozhi met Sima Yu, Huan Mi, and Xi Chao one by one, and then followed the convoy of Princess Nankang into Jiankang. Huan Wen had Da Sima's mansion in the capital, and Chen Cao arrived at Da Sima's mansion and headed south.
Princess Kang left after saying goodbye, and went to Gu Mansion in Hengtang with Ran Sheng and Xiaochan.
When Gu Kaizhi saw Chen Caozhi, he said loudly: "Zizhong, why did you only arrive today? You could have arrived the day before yesterday, alas!"
Chen Caozhi asked why. Gu Kaizhi said: "Miss Lu was forced by her second uncle to leave Jiankang and return to Wu County."
Chen Caozhi was thinking about meeting Lu Weirui, but he did not expect this result. No matter how well-educated he was, he was still furious. Lu Shi was so unkind. Treating his niece like this was simply cruel. Lu Shi
But Chen Caozhi couldn't help him, so he turned his anger on Wei Rui and immediately asked Gu Kaizhi: "Did Wei Rui leave Beijing the day before yesterday?"
Gu Kaizhi said: "Yes, A Tong has been sent ten miles away. When he came back, he said that Miss Lu was reduced to tears. By the way, Lu Weirui has a letter that she entrusted A Tong to give to you." He immediately ordered the maid to go to the inner courtyard to get the letter.
Chen Caozhi asked: "Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Zhang also returned to Wu County together?"
Gu Kaizhi shook his head and said: "It is said that Mrs. Lu was pregnant and could not bear the long bumpy road. She did not go back with Miss Lu. Lu Shi's eldest son, Lu Chu, the prime minister of Kuaiji County, came to Beijing last month. Lu Shi ordered Lu Chu and Lu Weirui to return to Wu together.
The county is equivalent to escorting him."
Chen Caozhi frowned, feeling both angry and cherished at the same time. He felt that he was very sorry for Wei Rui. Wei Rui had suffered a lot for her, but he was unable to protect her.
Zhang Tongyun personally took the letter and handed it to her with tears in her eyes: "Chen Langjun, this was written by Wei Rui in the car. Her second uncle saw the letter she originally wrote and tore it up, and blamed Wei Rui bitterly.
Rui, if it were me, I simply wouldn’t be able to survive——"
When Chen Caozhi opened the letter, he saw that it was written in the style of "Ping Fu Tie". Lu Weirui had always used the dignified and elegant Han Li of "Huashan Monument" to write to him before, but this time he was in a bumpy carriage and could not write Han Li smoothly.
Well, Wei Rui's writing is also very skillful. There is not a single sentence of sadness in the letter, but she asks Chen Caozhi not to resent her second uncle. It doesn't matter that she can't meet Chen Langjun on her birthday this time. In the coming year, she,
Lu Weirui will be waiting for Chen Langjun in this life——
With tears streaming down his cheeks, Chen Caozhi stood up and said, "Xiao Sheng, prepare your horses, I'm going to see Wei Rui off."
