Chapter 203 Visiting (3)
Ling Mengqifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I told Uncle Xian that Danqing by your side is from the same town as Huzi by my side. After I suddenly entered the palace last time, Huzi was very worried, but I didn't know who to ask for help in finding out the news, so I asked my sister through Danqing. Now that I saw my sister, I naturally wanted to thank her face to face. Uncle Xian asked me to come out and talk to my sister. son."

Well, to say that I want to thank her in such an upright manner, with Lu Zhongxian's informal temperament, I really wouldn't stop him, anyway, I have already passed the clear road in front of Lu Zhongxian, Lu Mingxuan had something to ask him anyway, so she led the He went to the back garden, and after making Danqing watch from a distance to keep people away, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Cai Ling said that he has relieved his errand from the Jinwu Guard and returned to the Jinyi Guard, does this mean that the one above You..." pointed to the sky with her finger, "I won't get angry with you anymore? What about the imperial concubine, she's all right now, isn't she trying to stop you from leaving the palace?"

Ling Mengqi asked, and after a moment of silence, he smiled bitterly and said: "It was agreed early in the morning, how could she not keep her word? As for the one above, he has already taken away my family's title and property. It’s enough, what else do you want to do? What’s more, even if he wants to do something with me, whether he doesn’t look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha or throws a mouse, he still has to take care of someone, so not only am I fine, but I’m still in the palace because of this Once, in the eyes of others, I don’t know what kind of high branch I have climbed, and I was summoned by the Commander of the Capital as soon as I returned to Jinyiwei, and I was raised as the general flag, isn’t it gratifying?”

There was an indescribable sarcasm and sarcasm in his words, he was obviously very depressed about being promoted because of Concubine Luo, but he couldn't tell anyone about his depression, otherwise others might think that he got the advantage and paid him back Acting as a good boy, I endured it all the time, and I didn't know how uncomfortable it was.

He originally wanted to go back to the Duke's Mansion to find a chance to meet Lu Mingxuan and talk about it, not only because he only wanted to say this to Lu Mingxuan emotionally, but also because Lu Mingxuan knew the hidden truth and he could only tell her that he didn't want to go to the Duke's Mansion early in the morning. , and learned that Lu Mingxuan had returned to his home, he went in to greet the old man and Mrs. Lu, and left the mansion on the pretext that there was something to do in the guard house, and after inquiring all the way, he drove him to the Lu's house. Just in time for Lu Mingfu's happy event, he thought, this is a rare time to get in touch with Lu Mingxuan's family, as long as her family is settled, is it still far from being able to deal with her?He couldn't easily miss it, because he suppressed the depression in his heart, he asked Huzi to prepare a generous gift. He also dealt with Lu Zhongxian in the Duke's mansion in the past, and today he has the intention of currying favor with his future father-in-law. His attitude became more and more respectful, but after half a day's work, Lu Zhongxian had already regarded him as his own, so there was the sudden appearance of him in the inner courtyard of the Lu family.

Seeing Ling Mengqi's cold and mocking face, Lu Mingxuan knew that he was not feeling well, so she said softly after a while: "The matter has come to this point, Brother Ling, don't need to think about it so much, just take care of yourself and do your best. Prove to those people that your promotion is well-deserved, it is because of your real ability, not because of other reasons. Besides, maybe you are thinking too much, and the commander-in-chief is not because you have entered the palace. He promoted you, but he was optimistic about you, otherwise, how could he have only promoted you by half a level, so he should promote you by leapfrogging."

Although the Marquis of Guangping's deprivation of his title and family property did not cause any disturbance in the capital, most people had long since forgotten or even knew that Dazhou had the title of Marquis of Guangping, but because of Ling Mengqi's relationship, Duke Dingguo Everyone in the house knows what they should know, not to mention the servants, but there are quite a few people gloating in the master's misfortune, such as Lu Mingli and her aunt, and Lu Mingxin and her aunt, as long as they catch the opportunity in those few days , Lu Mingxuan naturally knew about Ling Mengqi's cynicism.

Ling Mengqi still smiled wryly: "How could it be that I was thinking too much? Others don't know the hidden truth, so how can I not know it myself? As for what you said, why did Commander Du only raise me half a level? It's me who was promoted by leapfrogging, you think he doesn't want to, it's just that I have too little qualifications now, and promotion by leapfrogging is hard to convince everyone, so he also sent me an errand at the same time, asking me to go out of Beijing in three days to do a secret Poor, you also hinted to me that when I come back after my meritorious service this time, I will be promoted even though I have secretly thought about it more than once since I was a child, it would be great if one day my family's title was taken away by the people above. What else is my good stepmother planning, as long as I think of all the schemes she has made for many years, I can't know how happy I am."

"But I never thought that I would exchange my family's title for my own future. I would earn my own future by myself, and I don't need to rely on my family's title, let alone rely on that woman I still feel sorry for my father, if he hadn't married that woman back then, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have ended up like this today... I felt so uncomfortable, I wanted to quit my job several times , and save myself from being so uncomfortable..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Mingxuan anxiously: "Brother Ling, don't be impulsive, and don't think that your future is bought with the title of your family. Even if you don't get promoted this time, who The title and property of your family should be taken away, so what does it have to do with you? Don’t even think about being sorry for your father. You are the most innocent from the beginning to the end. Even if something is wrong, it is their fault. What does it have to do with you? It's so easy for you to gain a firm foothold in Jinyiwei now. You are young and capable, and you will have a bright future in the future. Could it be that you have given up on your future just because of these messy guesses? Are you sure? Don't forget, even if the First Prince doesn't have the Sacred Heart, it's still easy to embarrass you, a white man. Don't you still want to be humiliated by him? Even if you are... the empress is here, can the empress still protect you in the open? You can Do think twice!"

If Ling Mengqi really resigned from Jinyiwei this time, it would be tantamount to giving up his official position. Based on the Marquis of Guangping's indifference towards him, even if his title and family property are still there, he still refuses to seek a future with him. , let alone nothing now, what should Ling Mengqi do in the future?Is it really impossible to live a lifetime in obscurity?He was born an eagle, and she didn't want to see him give up the ability and opportunity to fly high in the sky and overlook the world!
Hearing this, Ling Mengqi laughed instead, and the smile reached his eyes, making his already handsome face even more animated: "Sister, don't worry, I just had this idea once, and now I have figured it out. It’s not really going to be put into action.”

After a pause, he took a deep look at Lu Mingxuan, "I want to protect myself and the person I want to protect, and give her a worry-free, happy and prosperous life, so that she won't be harmed again, so I will Not only will I not give up lightly, but I will do my best to climb up and make myself stronger, just like what my sister told me back then, so strong that people can't help but fear me when I mention it!"
