MTL - Let Me Pursue You-Chapter 51 051
Lu Shiqing was bitten to the root of her teeth by her, seeing her delicate lips opening and closing, and swearing at him harshly, with a thought, she stepped aside rationally, clasped the back of her head with her palm, bowed her head and blocked it. She has a very arrogant mouth.
Yuan Cixian's eyes were straightened, and she thumped loudly in shock from his sudden surprise.
Lu Shiqing: "..." Could she spoil the scenery a little more?
Suddenly he couldn't go on kissing anymore, his ready lips stopped abruptly, and he took a step back to let her go. From Yuan Cixian's point of view, during the whole process, he seemed to have smacked her lips hard.
Then she heard him clear his throat, and said awkwardly: "Well, I was thinking, I have to wash it anyway." After speaking, he turned and hurried into the clean room, closing the door behind him.
Get cheap and sell well!
Yuan Cixian was furious for a moment, and punched the door frame in front of her angrily, but there was a "hiss" in pain, and she grabbed her face and shook her hands desperately.
Lu Shiqing, who heard the movement, moved out the door again in surprise, looked down at her red hand, and said hesitantly: "You..." He said as if he wanted to grab her hand to check.
Yuan Cixian dodged, put her hands behind her back not to be touched by him, and said angrily, "Take your bath, I won't drown you!"
After she finished speaking, she rubbed her lips that were still numb from being hit by him, and left without looking back. She didn't give him a straight look until dinner, and only kept smiling and talking to Xuan Shi and Lu Shuangyu.
Lu Shiqing wanted to interrupt several times, but he couldn't integrate into them no matter what. He was either interrupted by Yuan Cixian, or he turned cold around as soon as he finished speaking.
It's not that Xuan Shi and Lu Shuangyu refused to talk to him, but that every time he opened his mouth, Yuan Cixian, who was eloquent, suddenly stopped talking. Missed the opportunity to answer Lu Shiqing's words. So much so that he once felt what it was like to be squeezed out by the three most important women in his life.
Yuan Cixian was still very friendly to Xuan Shi. Because she was embarrassed to eat free food, she went to help her choose the pattern of new winter clothes after dinner, and then continued to sleep in the room next to her. Before falling asleep, the fire was turned off, but unexpectedly, a dream appeared in her dream. More annoying things to come.
The dream this time was a continuation of the last time. After she heard Jiang Bican's maidservant finished speaking, there was a sound of wheels rolling in the distance.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, and then a female voice that she was startlingly familiar with sounded: "Chan'er?"
It was Jiang Birou. Her voice was a little weak and hoarse, but Yuan Cixian couldn't hear it wrong.
Jiang Bican seemed to lean forward a few steps, and then said: "Sister, uncle asked me to come here to wait for you. Uncle asked me to tell you that after you go to Lingnan, someone will pick you up. After that, remember to keep your name anonymous and never return to Chang'an again." The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, you are deeply involved with the Yuan Family, the Sage promises to pardon you now, but it is hard to guarantee when he will change his mind."
Jiang Birou smiled wryly, and said in silence for a long time, "Thank you and Second Uncle for pleading for me in front of the saint."
"Sister, why bother to meet me, you helped me a lot back then. Well, it's getting late, I should go back, take care all the way."
"You too, born between the cracks, it's not easy, you and the second uncle are going back and forth between His Highness the Sixth Highness and the saint, don't take it lightly."
Jiang Bican replied "Yes".
Then there was the sound of the carriage leaving.
After Yuan Cixian woke up, seeing that it was still dark outside the window, she buried her face back in the bedding, took a deep breath, and suppressed the indescribable fire in her heart—the whole family of the Yuan family died tragically, but Jiang Birou escaped to Lingnan alive.
She gritted her molars and calmed down for a while, trying to figure things out secretly.
The so-called "helped me a lot" in Jiang Bican's mouth must refer to the matter of breaking her engagement with Zheng Zhuo. She was not surprised that Jiang Birou would participate as a helper, but what surprised her was that the Jiang family not only wanted to join Zheng Zhuo, but at the same time, like grass on the wall, they also had a good relationship with the saint, and for some reason , It even spread to hands and feet in Lingnan.
It's not difficult to master the Jiang family sisters, but to solve these troubles in the court, it seems that she is no longer within the reach of a boudoir girl. She may need to contact Zheng Zhuo again, or first check Lu Shiqing's tone while in the Lu residence .
Alas, every time she gets angry with him, something cheap happens to him, but she is the one who asks him.
Yuan Cixian sighed secretly, thinking about it until dawn, but because Lu Shiqing went to the palace early to face the saint, he couldn't meet him face-to-face. After breakfast, he heard that Jiang Birou came to the Lu residence to visit Mrs. Lu .
This rhetoric is a pretense. The fact that Yuan Cixian lived in Lu's residence was never announced to the outside world. Lu Shiqing told the whole family to keep their mouths shut. Once the gate of the house was closed, only the Yuan and Lu families knew about it. So Jiang Birou came to find Yuan Cixian. There is still an excuse to be found.
Xuan Shi heard that Jiang Birou was here to act as a peacemaker, and advised Yuan Cixian to reconcile with Yuan Yu and return home earlier, so she sent someone to take her to the West Courtyard.
As soon as Yuan Cixian saw Jiang Birou coming, she knew her real reason for coming. The child in her womb might not be able to bear it anymore, but she was so anxious that she came to the Lu family and insisted on blaming her.
She moved the door and saw Jiang Birou standing at the bottom of the steps, and she said earnestly, "Cixian, my sister-in-law is here to take you home. You say that you, an unknown person, live in Lu's mansion, what's the matter? It's too unpleasant."
The corner of Yuan Cixian's mouth twitched: "If sister-in-law didn't tell me, and didn't come here rashly like today, how would outsiders know?"
Jiang Birou hesitated slightly: "Why did you and Shichen argue, and now even sister-in-law is angry?"
Yuan Yu swore a poisonous oath in front of Yuan Cixian, never to tell anyone about the dream, so Jiang Birou really didn't know the truth, and said that the brother and sister really had a quarrel.
Yuan Cixian smiled and didn't answer: "It's cold outside, sister-in-law, come in and talk."
As she spoke, she went down the steps in twos and threes, glanced at the slightly damp bluestone slabs, supported Jiang Biju and said, "The steps were covered with frost at night, and have just been cleaned by servants, sister-in-law, be careful."
Jiang Birou responded with a slightly stiff smile. With her support, she stepped up two steps. When she reached the third step, the sole of her boot suddenly slipped, and she fell back with a cry.
Yuan Cixian's hand was already behind her waist, and he supported her with all his strength, then calmly said: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?"
Jiang Birou seemed to be in shock, nodded and said, "It's nothing, but my legs are a little weak from fright."
Oh, it's all foreshadowing for the next flop.
Yuan Cixian glanced at the threshold five steps away with a smile, and saw Jiang Birou stumbled at the door, lifted her foot but failed to cross the threshold, and fell straight forward.
This time she didn't stop her again. Seeing her accurately throwing her lower abdomen on the threshold and pressing it heavily, she just bent over and said in surprise and worry: "Sister-in-law!"
The news of Jiang Birou's accidental tire failure quickly spread throughout the Lu family. The doctor came immediately, but still failed to keep the baby in her belly.
Xuan Shi was terribly frightened, Yuan Cixian didn't go to accompany Jiang Birou who was dying of pain, but instead came to comfort her: "Old lady, don't worry, I will take care of this matter, it has nothing to do with your Lu family."
Seeing her indifferent appearance at the beginning of her career, Xuan's doubts gradually arose in her heart, and she was about to ask something, but saw her smile, and told Cao An, who was left by Lu Shiqing to take care of her at the mansion: "Brother Cao, Go and invite brother and Doctor Yu from the west of the city to come over for me."
After she finished speaking, she asked Lu Shuangyu to take care of Xuan Shi, and then went to the west courtyard.
When Yuan Yu hurried to Lu's residence, he ran into Lu Shiqing who hurried over from Daming Palace.
There was such a commotion in the house, so Cao An naturally sent someone to the palace to report to the gentleman immediately, so Lu Shiqing got the news no later than the Yuan family.
He glanced at Yuan Yu, whose face was scorched and sweating profusely, and stretched out his hand to beckon him, and then stepped into the mansion gate first, and after entering the West Courtyard, it was not easy to go in before Yuan Cixian's room. He stopped abruptly at the threshold.
The door of the room was half open, and a screen in the middle covered the bed. Yuan Cixian stood on the outside of the screen and hugged his forearm, shivering from the cold wind.
When she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned around, first glanced at Lu Shiqing, then cast her gaze on Yuan Yu who was behind him, and said calmly, "Brother is here."
After all, this is Lu's mansion, and it's also the courtyard of the women's family members, so Yuan Yu couldn't just step in casually, and said anxiously, "How is your sister-in-law?"
Yuan Cixian smiled: "Brother, just come in and take a look."
Seeing that her expression was not right, Yuan Yu couldn't care less for a while, and hurriedly glanced at Lu Shiqing to ask.
Lu Shiqing nodded slightly, beckoning him, and when he came in, he heard Jiang Birou's weeping voice from the side of the screen: "Shichen, I'm sorry...don't blame Cixian, it's all my own fault..." The female voice said softly It's vague, and it's nothing more than this sentence.
Lu Shiqing listened with his hands behind his back, but his eyes fell on Yuan Cixian, who was watching coldly from the sidelines. After Jiang Birou finished speaking, he saw her take a few steps forward and enter the screen, and said, "Sister-in-law, how can you not blame me for this? I let go on purpose."
Lu Shiqing felt that the atmosphere inside was stiff even from a long distance away.
Yuan Cixian's voice was still very calm: "The steps are wet and slippery. I think it's inappropriate for my sister-in-law to fall. After all, you are pregnant with my brother's flesh and blood, so I tried my best to support you. Unexpectedly, you made up your mind. Perseverance, like water flowing eastward, will never return. Seeing a solid threshold in front of me, I want to push my stomach up again. What can I do? painstaking."
Yuan Yu stared at Yuan Cixian with wide eyes.
Jiang Birou said with a pale face, "Cixian, what are you talking about?"
"Sister-in-law, I moved to the Lu Mansion just to hope that you can retreat in spite of the difficulties. If you don't come to what happened today, I will pretend not to know your thoughts and the fact that you bribed Dr. Yu. How can I know you?" You actually have the temperament to face difficulties?" After she said that, she called out from the screen, "Lu Shilang, please remind Dr. Yu for me, his pace is too slow, I have to deduct his wages."
Lu Shiqing smiled and sighed, went outside to urge her, and when he came back, he had an extra cloak in his hand, stood at the threshold and said, "Yuan Cixian, come out."
Yuan Cixian stepped out in a daze, and asked, "Where is the doctor?"
Lu Shiqing put the cloak on her shoulders, wrapped her tightly, and said: "The doctor will come soon, this room is too dirty, please don't stay." Then he said lightly, "General Yuan, your housework, Please handle it yourself, Lu took Lingmei away first."
After he finished speaking, he took Yuan Cixian and walked out.
