"Besides...he and I have been separated for a year, and he has long thought that I was dead. Who knows if he already has someone else in his heart? After all, how can someone like him be liked by no one?
What should he do if he already has someone he likes and I suddenly show up?" Fang Huanqiu looked hesitantly, frowning, and said softly.
"You do have too many thoughts and worries in your heart." Mrs. Fang sighed.
Fang Dunru nodded slowly and said: "I think Huanqiu is right, we need to find out more. Who can know about this kind of thing? After all, Lin Jue can't live forever because of Huanqiu's matter.
Don’t marry. It’s important for a man to have no heirs. If he promises someone and Huanqiu suddenly appears, wouldn’t things be difficult to handle?”
Mrs. Fang said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? Is our Qiu'er always like this? Qiu'er is so devoted to him that Lin Jue even sent a wedding invitation. On the tombstone of the tomb in the back hill of the academy, he
Even if he is engaged to someone else, when Qiu'er comes back, he will have to break off the engagement and marry my Qiu'er. If he doesn't marry me, he will be ungrateful."
Fang Huanqiu shouted: "Mom! Don't do this."
Fang Dunru also said: "Hey, are you still saying good things? My daughter of the Fang family can't get married? Are you going to force him to break off the engagement and teach him to be a treacherous person? You have such a mouth, you can't be saved.
.”
Mrs. Fang stamped her feet and said, "Then what do you think we should do? You have to make up your mind. Now that Lin Jue is in the capital, he has to come often. Shouldn't Qiu'er have to avoid him every time?"
Fang Dunru frowned and said nothing, Fang Huanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Father, mother, you don't have to worry, I just promise to meet him. No matter what, I can't hide away all the time. Things must come to an end. But I
I think I still can’t see him during this period of time.”
Mrs. Fang said: "Why is that?"
Fang Huanqiu said: "He is about to take the Spring Examination, and there is not much time left. If I show up now and things get messed up, wouldn't it mean that he has no intention of studying and preparing for the exam. If it delays the Spring Examination, it will delay him
I will be guilty of a lifelong future. Therefore, even if we meet, we will have to wait until the end of the Spring Examination at the end of March before we can come out. If you can say anything clearly by then. If he does not blame me and still wants to marry me, it is naturally best.
.If he cannot accept me, blames me for deceiving him, or has another sweetheart, I...I...can only accept my fate."
Fang Dunru touched his palms and sighed: "This is my Fang Dunru's daughter. She understands the general situation, considers the overall situation, and knows the etiquette of advance and retreat. Indeed, if anything happens at this time and delays Lin Jue's future, it will definitely be
unable."
Mrs. Fang frowned and said, "Qiu'er, but if Lin Jue doesn't want to marry you, or has another sweetheart, what are you going to do?"
Fang Huanqiu was stunned for a moment and sighed softly: "Mom, I have actually promised him my heart, and I will be his for the rest of my life. If he doesn't want me, I... I won't care about anyone in my life."
I don’t want to get married anymore. I just want to serve my two elders.”
Mrs. Fang was about to burst into tears. Just as she was about to speak, Fang Dunru frowned and said, "Madam, don't ask any more questions. You keep asking what's the worst that can happen? How can things be as bad as you think? Huanqiu.
, don’t think too much, and wait patiently for a month, and then worry about it after spring passes. Dad is here for everything, so don’t worry."
Fang Huanqiu nodded and said: "Thank you, dad, thank you, mom. My daughter is unfilial and makes her parents worry."
"Silly child, if your parents don't worry about you, who should they worry about? It's late at night, go to bed, and take good care of your body. If it happens again, it will make you even more worried." Mrs. Fang sighed and put the dishes in the basket.
Inside, hold it and leave.
…
Lin Jue, master and servant, took a carriage to the Tongfu Inn on Bianhe North Street. On the way, Lu Wu expressed her doubts. She felt that the demeanor of Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang was a bit strange today. The young master said that he was going to Miss Huanqiu.
When sweeping the grave of Miss Huanqiu, Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang looked a little panicked, and their words were hesitant for some reason. Also, when Lin Jue talked about Miss Huanqiu, there was no trace of sadness on the faces of Mr. and Mrs. Fang.
This is obviously unreasonable.
Lin Jue actually felt strange in his heart. Ever since his husband suddenly changed his mind in the middle of the morning, Lin Jue felt that his husband seemed to be hiding something from him. During dinner just now, this feeling became even stronger.
However, Lin Jue didn't think too much. The attitude of his husband and his wife towards him was still the same as before. His love for him and his wife's love for him have not changed. This can be felt from their eyes and behavior.
Even if there is something that my husband and his wife have hidden from me, it must be something that I cannot know. Although I regard them as my parents, after all, they are not the real relationship between parents and children, and I cannot explore them.
privacy, asking them about things they don’t want to tell themselves.
It was already the third watch when we returned to Tongfu Inn. Although Bianliang is a city that never sleeps, people were still coming and going on the streets in the middle of the night, but after the third watch, the city became quiet. People walking on the street at this time
They were either ordinary people with urgent matters or those who got drunk late at night and went to Wase brothel to enjoy life.
The door of Tongfu Inn was also mostly closed. The door panels were covered with half of the door, leaving only a narrow entrance, revealing the dim light in the lobby. However, Lin Jue discovered that in the shadow beside the inn door
, a carriage was parked there. It was a carriage equipped with two tall horses, and the four corners of the carriage shone with metallic luster in the light and shadow. From these two points alone, one could conclude that this was a luxurious carriage.
Ordinarily one horse is enough for a carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage are all inferior horses with long hair and short legs. But the horses pulling the carriage are all tall horses with shiny coats. The carriage carriage with copper strips is also luxurious.
The standard equipment of other people's carriages. The carriage of the carriage like the one hired by Lin Jue is just an ordinary bamboo and wood frame, covered with a tarpaulin. It is not waterproof when it rains, and will fall apart if it hits anything.
It’s just a carriage, but the key point is that there are several tall black figures standing next to the carriage. Although they are only wearing casual clothes, the bulges under their black cloaks must be weapons. One by one, they are walking back and forth in the shadows in front of the Tongfu Inn.
Walking around. This posture made Lin Jue feel awe-inspiring.
"What's going on? Why are these people lingering in front of the inn?" Lin Jue muttered in his heart. He also had a guilty conscience. After all, he had done some shady things, and he was still a little worried.
Since the location where Lin Jue and others got off the bus was not far from the entrance of the inn, when the three of them got off the car and noticed the situation in front of the inn, the burly men with weapons at the door had already seen Lin Jue and the others.
At this moment, Lin Jue could only bite the bullet and step forward. If he ran away suddenly, he would inevitably be suspected of not having three hundred taels of silver in this place. In addition, Lin Jue also felt that there would be no big mistakes. After all, if the other party came to find
It's troublesome, they don't need to show off in front of the inn. They just need to find a dark place where they can't be noticed, and then catch the turtle in the jar.
Lin Jue pretended to be nonchalant and walked toward the door of the inn with Lu Wu and Xiao Hu. Unfortunately, the tortoise box and other items were placed in the guest room of the inn. Otherwise, Lin Jue would have clutched the handle of the tortoise box now. This
It is always not good to carry something with you and parade around the streets of the capital. The interrogation on the streets of the capital will definitely be more stringent. Lin Jue does not want to cause trouble by bringing this thing with him.
Several Khans stared at Lin Jue and the others with sharp eyes. Lin Jue's heart was beating wildly, but he still walked into the inn lobby as if nothing had happened. However, the moment he stepped into the lobby, he immediately regretted it.
.It turned out that under the dim light of the lobby, he saw a man in black sitting at a table on his right wearing a bamboo hat. Beside him were seven or eight men in black, all of them menacing and with fierce eyes.
The moment Lin Jue entered the door, seven or eight pairs of fierce eyes were cast on Lin Jue. The man wearing a bamboo hat did not raise his head and seemed to be in a daze.
The shopkeeper popped up from the counter and walked quickly towards Lin Jue. Lin Jue wanted to stop him from calling his name, but it was too late.
"Young Master Lin, you are back. I have been waiting for you for several hours. Why did you come back so late after going out? Didn't I tell you? You people from other places must be careful and don't wander around on the street.
"
As soon as the shopkeeper said "Mr. Lin", a group of people around the table stood up one after another, and the thin man wearing a bamboo hat also stood up and looked this way.
"Oh, I went to a friend's house to drink, so I was a little late. Thanks to the shopkeeper for his concern, it's okay." Lin Jue said with a smile.
The shopkeeper frowned and said in a low voice: "You said it was okay, did you offend someone? These... these people are all here to find you. From the evening until now, I have been scared to death. I can tell you,
I run a small business. If there are any mistakes, you go out and tell me. The shop can't stand your troubles. I can't afford it if tables and chairs are broken and people are killed..."
When Lin Jue heard that these people were coming for him, he broke into a layer of sweat, and thought to himself that it was not good. Sure enough, these people were coming for him. Looking at their posture, it seemed that the people who came were not good. Now he was in big trouble.
.
Lin Jue was nervously thinking about countermeasures. When he looked back, he saw that the escape route at the door had been cut off, and several big men in black outside had blocked him behind. Lin Jue quickly turned around and wanted to tell Xiaohu and Lu Wu to escape towards the guest room at the back.
, but heard someone asking quietly from the side.
"May I ask, is this Mr. Lin Juelin?"
Lin Jue turned around and saw that seven or eight men in black clothes standing by the table had gathered around and blocked the way ahead. The short man in a bamboo hat was standing in front of him with his arms folded.
The shadow of the bamboo hat covered the upper half of his face, while the lower half of his face was exposed, with a messy beard.
"Everyone, you have something to say. If you want to fight, can you go out and do it? A small shop cannot stand the trouble of a small business." The shopkeeper bowed his hands and said.
"Fight?" The man in a bamboo hat and a beard was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started laughing, and more than a dozen big men around him also started laughing.
