At this moment, she was lying on the couch, wearing a fiery red dress, covering her delicate body, with a peaceful look on her face. You could even see a trace of happiness in her eyebrows. But she didn't know that this elf-like
Can a beautiful woman really be happy?
Cao Peng stood in the bedroom and sighed softly in his heart.
The faint scent of wisteria lingering in the house seems to have explained everything.
"Wan'er is dead, you bastard..."
Lu Ji rushed towards Cao Peng like crazy, reaching out to grab Cao Peng's shirt.
But Cao Peng stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Ji's arm. With a little force, Lu Ji rushed forward and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Cao Peng didn't let go, but his hand was like an iron pliers.
Death suppressed Lu Ji, making him unable to turn around and use his strength.
"Let go of my uncle."
Lu Hao and Lu Lin were ready to charge forward.
Several generals at the door were also eager to give Cao Peng a lesson.
"Stop it all."
Gu Yong shouted loudly and stopped everyone's shouting.
When Lu Xun was unconscious and the Lu family was leaderless, Gu Yong was undoubtedly the elder of everyone.
He turned around, stared at Cao Peng, and shouted sternly: "Wan'er has left. How can we prove what you said?"
When Lu Wan died, all answers disappeared.
There was a hint of pleading in Gu Yong's eyes. Obviously he believed Cao Peng's previous words, but this was a scandal of human relations in the Lu family, how could he admit it. When the Lu family and the Gu family got married, the two had become close.
Related. Even if Gu Yongming knew that what Cao Peng said was true, he didn't want it to be spread. After all, what was involved was the real defense of ethics, so he had to be cautious.
He looked at Gu Yong and then at the excited young children of the Lu family.
Cao Peng turned to look at Xun Yan, only to see Xun Yan shaking his head slightly towards him.
"Ziyou, could you please go to the room and fetch the two boxes from yesterday."
Xia Houlan agreed, turned and left.
But his move made Gu Yong stunned for a moment, and a look of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Xia Houlan is very skilled. On the surface, he should be Xun Yan's guard. In terms of identity and status, Xia Houlan should be above the little book boy Cao Peng. If Xun Yan had just ordered him, Xia Houlan would have acted like this
There won't be any problems. But... Xia Houlan seems to be Cao Peng's subordinate, not Xun Yan's guard. Gu Yong is not Lu Ji, a kid like Lu Hao who has never experienced right and wrong.
. Keenly, he realized that Cao Peng's origin might not be as simple as it seemed.
After a while, Xia Houlan came in holding two boxes and handed them to Cao Peng.
Cao Peng let go of Lu Ji and dodged Lu Ji's attack, "Mr. Gu, do you want to make the Lu family extinct?"
"Lu Ji, stop it."
Gu Yong shouted sharply, causing Lu Ji to immediately become quiet.
"Mr. I'm sorry to bother you, please let the people in this room leave, and tell everyone that you must never tell anyone what happened today."
"Why."
Lu Jihe roared angrily.
"Lu Ji, Lu Hao, Lu Lin... you go out first."
There was a sense of appreciation in Gu Yong's eyes.
After he dismissed the generals of the Lu family, he said sternly: "Remember, not a word of what happened here today is allowed to be revealed. If you want the entire Lu family to perish, then just go ahead and try... Okay
, you go out now, remember my words."
Lu Ji and others gave Gu Yong a confused look and silently exited the bedroom.
"After Mr. Lu wakes up, please give these two stacks of papers to Mr. Lu, he should be able to know.
In addition, it is best not to disturb the items in this bedroom...including Mr. Gu. This is all I can do."
Cao Peng said and glanced at Lu Wan, who had a peaceful expression.
That fiery red dress is probably Lu Wan's lucky dress... In this life, she may not be able to get what she wants, but I hope that in the next life, she won't have to suffer such humiliation again. Let her come clean and pure.
Let's go. Thinking of this, Cao Peng bent down and picked up a fiery red scarf from the ground, walked to Lu Wan's side, squatted down, and covered Lu Wan's delicate face with the scarf.
In fact, there is nothing shameful about liking your cousin.
What's shameful are those behind the scenes who turned this pure love into conspiracy.
Cao Peng and Lu Wan never said a word, or even had any direct contact. A familiar scene flashed in their minds.
A bright moon, under the wisteria flowers.
A girl in white, as beautiful as an elf, was playing the piano and singing leisurely.
"Remembering the plum blossoms that went to Xizhou, folded and sent to the north of the Yangtze River. The single shirt is apricot red, and the double temples are outstanding.
Where is Xizhou? Two oars cross the bridge. Shrikes fly at dusk, and the wind blows through the tallow trees.
Under the tree is in front of the door. There is a green thorn in the door. The doorman doesn't come, so he goes out to pick red lotus.
In the autumn when I was picking lotus in Nantang, the lotus blossoms were as tall as people’s heads. I lowered my head to pick up the lotus seeds, which were as clear as water.
Putting it in the sleeve of the lotus bosom, the heart of the lotus is completely red. Remembering the man but not coming, I look up at Feihong.
Flying all over Xizhou, I watched Lang go up to the brothel. The building was so high that he couldn't see it, and he could only see the top of the railing in the sun.
The railings have twelve curves, and the hanging hands are as bright as jade. The rolling curtains are high in the sky, and the sea water shakes the sky green.
The sea water is a long dream, you are worried and I am also worried. The south wind knows my intention, and blows my dream to Xizhou..."
In his previous life, Cao Peng once studied a text called "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond". The facade used a song about picking lotuses in the Nantang Autumn, which left a deep impression on Cao Peng. The scene in the ballad was very different from the scene in front of him.
How similar are women? I can’t recall the man, but I look up at Feihong...
I hope she can have this dream as the song says: The south wind knows my will and blows my dream to Xizhou!
Cao Peng stood up and walked to Xun Yan, "Sir, it's time for us to go back."
Both Xun Yan and Gu Yong were immersed in the artistic conception of "Xizhou Song" at this moment. Upon hearing Cao Peng's reminder, Xun Yan suddenly woke up.
He nodded and bowed his hand to Gu Yong, "Yuan Tan, I'm leaving!"
After that, he took Cao Peng and walked out.
When he reached the door, Cao Peng suddenly stopped again, turned to Gu Yong and said, "Please inform Mr. Lu that Li Jing of Fuchun is dead."
Gu Yong shivered with excitement and suddenly looked at Cao Peng.
At this time, Cao Peng had followed Xun Yan out of the bedroom. Gu Yong stood in the center of the bedroom. After a long time, he faced the door, raised his hands above his head, and bowed.
Who is this kid?
Even though Cao Peng knew the truth, he couldn't tell it.
Just because this matter was so involved, he could only keep this secret in his stomach! But he believed that Lu Xun could understand.
Since ancient times, *** has been an extremely ugly thing.
But what happened today made Cao Peng feel sick. Not for the "unethical love", but for the masterminds behind the plan. Love is originally a beautiful thing, but due to various reasons
, became so ugly.
Thinking about his past life, Cao Peng felt particularly depressed.
Sitting in the carriage on the way back, he said nothing and looked very worried.
"Afu, can you tell me what is going on?"
Xun Yan raised the curtain, sat in the car, and asked softly.
"Actually, it's nothing. It was just a simple love affair...My cousin took care of my cousin since he was a child. As my cousin grew up, my cousin developed feelings and fell in love with him. Sir, actually this is nothing.
What a big deal. Although my cousin knew that she liked her cousin, she also knew that human relations were very important. Therefore, she refused to propose marriage again and again, just to see her cousin happy.
However……"
"But what?"
"My cousin has grown up and is getting married.
It happened that the woman he wanted to marry was a big family with a long history in Jiangdong just like his family. So some people felt uneasy. One day, my cousin received a letter, and the person who wrote the letter was her.
My cousin. The content of the letter was also very simple. It was about Guan Guan Jujiu, in the River Continent. Poems such as "My Fair Lady" and "A Gentleman's Love of Couple" immediately touched my cousin's sensitive heartstrings.
The affection that had been in her heart for many years suddenly burst out, so she wrote back to her cousin.
However, my cousin did not expect that the person who wrote this letter was not my cousin, but someone else."
Xun Yan's face looked ugly.
But he didn't ask any questions, he just listened quietly.
“There was a lot of affection in the letter, but it was a completely different story when we met.
There was sea water on one side and flames on the other. The huge contrast made the already sensitive cousin begin to experience emotional fluctuations. She knew that it was impossible, but she couldn't help but want to taste it. So, the cousin's
Her heart began to twist, she became cynical, and... As the wedding day approached, her cousin's love gradually turned into hatred. She had the intention to kill, so she poisoned the wine on the day of her cousin's wedding. At the same time,
She put on another Jifu as a kind of spiritual sustenance.
She hopes that in the next life, she and her cousin will no longer be siblings, but husband and wife..."
There was an air of coldness and gloominess in Cao Peng's words.
He tried his best to speak calmly, but when he heard it, Xun Yan and Xia Houlan felt a chill in their ears.
Xun Yan was so excited that he shivered and felt goosebumps all over his body.
He lowered his head and asked quietly after a while: "So, the person who wrote the letter..."
"The person who wrote the letter is already dead."
"ah?"
"That man's name is Li Jing. He is from Fuchun County, Kuaiji County. He is also Xiaolian of Kuaiji County. He was once the chief clerk of Mr. Jingxing.
After Mr. Jing Xing was defeated by Sun Ce, Li Jing came to Wu County.
This man has good handwriting and is best at imitating other people's handwriting... Do you remember Luo Kedi? If my guess is correct, the house Luo Kedi robbed was Li Jing's home. He stole
That love letter was also the love letter written by my cousin to my cousin.
I don't know where my cousin's poison came from, but it's obvious that it came from the same person as the poison that killed Li Jing.
After Li Jingqian died the day before, the government hurriedly examined the body and concluded that he died of a heart attack. But no one paid attention to such obvious signs of poisoning? Haha, sir, to be honest, unless these officials of all sizes in Wuxian County are all
You idiot, otherwise such a mistake would not be possible. What is even more bizarre is that after Li Jingfang died, Li Jing’s wife was eager to sell off her property and wanted to return to her hometown..."
"you mean……"
"Sir, I don't mean anything. I just want to say that it was originally a very ordinary, even pure love, but it has become ugly due to various reasons. I hate conspiracy and conspiracy, and I hate the kind of people who impose shame on others.
The mastermind behind the scenes.”
Xun Yan couldn't help but fell silent!
After a long while, he whispered: "Afu, actually I hate it too."
He lowered the car curtain and said no more words.
Some people took advantage of Lu Wan's feelings for Lu Xun and set up such ugly strategies that made Xun Yan sick.
But on the other hand, when he went to Jiangdong this time, he used friendship as a cover to do something with ulterior motives? No matter what conspiracy or conspiracy, as long as it is a 'conspiracy', it can be called ugly. If you think about it carefully,
, Xun Yan felt that there seemed to be no difference between himself and the mastermind behind the scenes. He closed his eyes, took a long breath, and suddenly felt an inexplicable fatigue in his heart.
Maybe it's time to leave!
Cao Peng did not expect that his words would bring so many thoughts to Xun Yan.
He did not tell who was behind the scenes, but with Xun Yan's intelligence, how could he not guess the various ingenuities involved?
You can never escape the Sun brothers.
Either Sun Ce or Sun Quan...
However, it seemed to Cao Peng that Sun Ce was the kind of person who was so famous that he was unlikely to come up with such a vicious plan.
So, is it Sun Quan?
If it is really Sun Quan, what role did Sun Ce play in it?
Cao Peng remembered that Lu Xun was Sun Ce's son-in-law in history. However, Sun Ce was only twenty-four or five years old now, and his daughter was only seven or eight years old. It was absolutely impossible for her to marry Lu Xun. As for the marriage between Lu Xun and Miss Gu, it was in the Three Kingdoms anyway.
In the novel, it is not mentioned.
No matter how glorious a person is, he will become ugly if he is involved in adultery!
When we returned to Wu County, it was getting late.
Both Cao Peng and Xun Yan felt very tired after experiencing the storm during the day.
So after returning to the post house, Xun Yan went to sleep directly. Cao Peng also returned to the room, fell on the couch, and closed his eyes...
The stone weighing on my heart was suddenly lifted.
But Cao Peng did not feel the joy of solving the mystery at all.
Neither Miss Gu nor Lu Xun died.
In other words, the marriage between the Lu and Gu families will continue to exist. Will Sun Ce's daughter marry Lu Xun in the future?
Cao Peng didn't know.
But he knew that he had inadvertently changed another piece of history.
Without being related by marriage to Sun Wu, will Lu Xun still become the governor-general in charge of Sun Wu's navy like in history? Can he continue the glory of the Lu family for three generations? Everything seems to have become a mystery... a Cao
Unpredictable puzzles...
Massage your cheeks hard, making your face hot.
Cao Peng turned over and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he once again dreamed of the girl in a white dress, leaning on the railing and playing the piano under the gorgeous wisteria flowers, singing and dancing.
"The railing has twelve curves, and the hanging hand is as clear as jade.
The curtain rises high, the sea water shakes the sky green...
The dream of sea water is long, you are worried and I am also worried.
The south wind knows my wishes and blows my dreams to Xizhou..."
Miss Wan'er, may you get what you want in the next life!
Cao Peng lay on his side on the couch, with a glint of crystal water shining in the corner of his eyes.
