Let Me Pursue You Chapter 21

Lu Shiqing asked Lu Shuangyu to go back to the room, and looked at Yuan Cixian when he was done: "The county magistrate, please go back to the mansion earlier, so that General Jiaoyuan won't worry."

Yuan Cixian took a look at the gloomy sky outside, and thought it was troublesome because of the rain, and said, "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow."

He frowned: "And tomorrow?"

"Of course, the first two days of your injury are the most important. I'll wrap it up for you again."

Lu Shiqing sighed: "Lu will go to court early tomorrow morning."

"Then I'll come back when you return home."

Seeing that he still refused, she quickly stopped him with a gesture: "Don't say any more, I'm doing this for your own good. According to your stupid wrapping method before, there will definitely be a scar in the future. You don't want to worry about your right hand. You have a scar, but you don't have a left hand, right? If I ask my elder brother to whip you again, I don't know if I can hit you exactly the same!"

Lu Shiqing had a headache and couldn't think of a reason to reject her, so he had to muddle along and ask the servants to send the Buddha away first.

Yuan Cixian explained to him a few things about food, acted like a **** and went out, but when he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Lu Shuangyu, who should have returned to her room, standing there holding an oil-paper umbrella, pulled her small face, and said something to her. The way she said it.

She stepped forward and asked, "Miss Lu is waiting for me?"

Lu Shuangyu lowered her eyes and shook her head: "No." But she kept twisting the handle of the umbrella, as if she was nervous.

Yuan Cixian laughed: "Then I can go."

"Hey!" Lu Shuangyu moved slightly and stopped her.

She was just making a gesture, she turned around and asked, "Why?"

"I want to tell the county magistrate, you..." Lu Shuangyu hesitated for a while, and finally raised her voice, "Don't try to trick my elder brother! My elder brother has long been in love with Princess Shaohe, but the saint refused to agree to this marriage. I was worried that my elder brother would be a consort and his official career would be hindered, so he delayed the marriage!"

Yuan Cixian was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Lu Shuangyu was startled, and said with a guilty conscience, "No... no one taught me, I'm just telling the truth!"

"Then tell me, how did they hit it off?"

She calmed down a bit: "Brother goes to Hanliang Hall every now and then to teach His Highness the Thirteenth Highness to study, and your lord is often on the side...on the side..." She didn't say anything after being "on the side" for a long time, and then said, "Anyway, brother I like her, and A Niang also likes her. This morning, your lord accompanied A Niang to the Great Mercy Temple."

Yuan Cixian protracted "Oh" and said, "Okay, I see."

Lu Shuangyu felt her attitude was strange, and asked cautiously, "What do you know?"

She grinned: "Thank you Sister Shuangyu for reminding me that Hanliang Hall and Da Ci'en Temple are indeed two good places to buy people's hearts, and I will make good use of them."

Lu Shuangyu choked, and didn't notice that she had changed her address, and said in surprise, "You...how can you not listen to what you say?"

Yuan Cixian asked her back: "You mistook me for a man back then, fell in love with me at first sight, and searched hard for me for a year. During that time, some people might persuade you to give up. What about you, did you listen?"

"I…"

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Yuan Cixian smiled lightly, and took out the oil-paper umbrella from her hand: "Okay, I'll take this umbrella, you hurry back, just wait until one day you call me sister-in-law."

After she finished speaking, she didn't stay any longer, she turned her head and got into the carriage, leaving Lu Shuangyu stunned in place.

Coincidentally, when Yuan Cixian passed by the entrance of Yongxingfang Lane, a carriage passed by her curtain. Seeing this, the driver picked up the branches and asked inwardly, "Miss, look behind, is that Mrs. Lu's carriage?"

She happened to be thinking about the relationship between Xuan Shi and Princess Shaohe, when she heard the words stop, she raised the curtain and poked her head out, only to see that the sandalwood carriage stopped in front of the Lu residence, and two people came down after a while. One is indeed from the Xuan family, and the other is dressed in a plain skirt, with thin arms and waist, and it looks like Zheng Yun.

The two walked into the mansion gate talking and laughing.

Shi Cui asked: "Little lady, do you want to kill the carbine?"

Yuan Cixian snorted coldly: "Don't kill, go home."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Shi Cui didn't dare to talk too much. When she got close to Shengyefang, she heard her speak again: "No, why am I being so mad, I don't want to marry Mrs. Lu." After finishing speaking He said to the outside of the car curtain, "Pick out the branches and fold them back."

Picking Zhi hurriedly drove the carriage back to Lu's residence, but after reining in the horse, Yuan Cixian didn't see any movement, and said strangely: "Little lady, we are here, don't you want to go down?"

Yuan Cixian yawned: "What are you going to do, make trouble? I'll just see when Zheng Yun comes out and meet her face to face. You can watch for me."

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and meditated.

He picked a branch and stared at the gate of Lu's mansion, for fear of missing it, but he waited and waited. After half an hour passed, he still did not see Zheng Yun. Just when his eyes were sour, suddenly a servant girl from Lu's mansion came in small steps.

The servant girl came up to her and said politely: "My little lady, my husband has something to say to the Lord Lancang."

Yuan Cixian suddenly opened his eyes, raised the curtain and asked, "What are you talking about?"

The servant girl gave her a salute, and then said: "Go back to the county lord, the gentleman said that before your carriage returned, he had invited Shao and the princess back. You can't wait for anyone like this. Before the rain starts , go home early."

After she finished explaining, she saw the dark clouds clustered between Yuan Cixian's eyebrows dissipate without a trace, and she smiled like honey: "I see, I'll be back now, come back tomorrow."

The next day, Yuan Cixian did what she said, and went to Lu Mansion again, but didn't stay long, changed Lu Shiqing's medicine and returned to Shengyefang. Convinced that his injury would not worsen, she would not go out again, and An Anxin "rehabilitated" the injury for the saint to see.

Emperor Huining obviously didn't realize that a yellow-haired girl was so scheming, and didn't suspect that her injuries were fake at all, so he sent people to send a lot of royal tribute medicinal materials and tonics, as well as many rare playthings to make her happy, saying that they were born at the feet of the emperor. It's his uncle's fault that such a bad thing happened.

Yuan Cixian sneered in her heart. She has never considered a saint as her cousin. Her grandmother was just a concubine who was not favored back then, and her relationship with the first emperor was not very close. Now that it is a generation later, there is no affection at all. On the contrary, she and her elder brother had a few drops of the Zheng family's blood in their bones, which made the old emperor panic all day long.

After being idle for a while, Ji Xia passed in the blink of an eye.

In Mengqiu's July, the weather is slightly cooler in the morning and evening, but the sun is still scorching in the afternoon. Yuan Cixian was irritated by Qiu Huo, stayed in the mansion, and remembered Xu Shan out of boredom, so she asked her elder brother to send someone to report a letter, asking if he would be free to attend the verbal invitation last time.

Naturally, she didn't want to discuss chess skills with Xu Shan. The reason for this was because he reported the letter before, which made her feel Zheng Zhuo's position and goodwill. At least for now, they are indeed allies of the Yuan family. In this case, she shouldn't blindly reject it. The situation in Chang'an is complicated. It is always a good thing to be able to become enemies with Zheng Zhuo later, or to reverse the situation in the previous life and not become enemies.

Of course, since the dream reminded her, it was impossible for her to trust Zheng Zhuo wholeheartedly, especially that Xu Shan had always refused to show his face to others, which made her doubt his identity. The last time she proposed an invitation, she was preparing to test it out.

The next day, Lu Shiqing was invited to the Yuan Mansion as Xu Shan.

He was really very busy these days, but a message from Yuan Cixian made him have to forget all the important official duties. After all, "Xu Shan" said that he is a commoner and not busy, if he refuses the invitation, it will inevitably make her suspicious.

Lu Shiqing adjusted his posture and went to the Flower Hall of Yuan Mansion, where he saw Yuan Cixian standing in front of the window teasing a thrush bird. He looked in a good mood, with crooked eyebrows and smiling faces.

He paused and stopped at the threshold.

Why, she didn't visit his injury for sixteen days, and didn't even send a message, but now she is looking forward to seeing Xu Shan?
