204 Chapter 1 It's Difficult to Decline ([-])
Even if he had to go against some of his wishes and principles for this, even if he would feel depressed, he would not hesitate to do so. Lu Mingxuan's embarrassed appearance and terrified eyes when she was almost bullied by the eldest prince in the palace that day, and her despair He never wanted to see the second time in his life!

Lu Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but after she was relieved, her face became inexplicably hot, and she hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, I just heard that Brother Ling said that you are going to go to Beijing in three days, what kind of errand is it?" Where are you going? Do you want to take the tiger with you? You have to be prepared in advance for clothes and other things, and you have to be more careful on the road."

Ling Mengqi listened to her instructing him in every detail like a little wife caring for her husband before he was discharged from the hospital. He didn't know how much it would benefit him, and said with a smile: "I won't take tigers with me. The free guards prepare for entangled clothes and so on. I can’t tell my sister what kind of errand I’m going to do, and please forgive me, the only thing I can say to my sister is, please rest assured, I will return safely.”

Who wants to hear him say this, and she is not his... Lu Mingxuan curled her lips secretly, but her face became hotter and hotter. Thinking that the things that should be said to each other were almost finished, she bowed her knees and threw down a sentence : "Then I wish brother Ling a smooth journey and success soon, and I have to go back to my room to see my sister and brother, so I won't accompany you!" Then he left in a hurry.

The rest of Ling Mengqi looked at her flustered back, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up. Even if Sister Xuan refused to accept him for some reason that he didn't know for a while, it didn't matter. He had plenty of time and energy. One day, he It will make her accept him willingly and without any scruples!
As Lu Mingxuan walked back quickly, she scolded herself in her heart, why were you blushing and heart beating just now? face, anyone who sees his smile can't help but blush and heartbeat, she is just a mortal, naturally no exception, not because she has any thoughts about him, how could she have thoughts about him, she just took him Just being an older brother... Doing mental construction like this, and taking several deep breaths at the same time, before arriving at the door of Lu Mingfu's room, his face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat, and he managed to calm down.

Not wanting Fang to enter Lu Mingfu's room, she rushed over and grabbed her neck, lowered her voice and said with an ambiguous smile: "Be honest, what did you and Brother Ling Shi just say? Ugly words can be said first, frankness is lenient, resistance is strict, you can handle it yourself!"

Lu Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat, and her first reaction was to pretend to be confused: "Sister, what did you say? I don't understand why you are being frank and lenient and resisting strictness..."

Before she finished speaking, Lu Mingfu rolled her eyes, and said in a bad tone: "Stop pretending to be confused, if I knew you were going to pretend to be confused with me, I should have ignored everything and just stepped forward to pull If you do, you can leave!"

Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan actually saw her talking to Ling Mengqi with her own eyes just now, she couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, so she said: "Brother Ling Shi and I didn't say anything, it's just that his boy is from the same town as Danqing, last time he suddenly After being brought into the palace, Huzi had nowhere to ask for help, so he had to ask me through Danqing, and asked me to help find out the news. He just went back to his father on purpose and came out to thank me face to face, not what you think, sister Like that."

"It's not what I think?" Lu Mingfu laughed immediately, "How do you know what I think?"

Seeing her ambiguous and embarrassed smile, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help being speechless for a while, and with a little effort, she broke free from her restraint. After sitting at the table and pouring herself a cup of tea, she asked instead: "Sister, why are you laughing?" Didn’t my sister tell me again and again why I shouldn’t have any other thoughts about Ling Shixiong? Today I look at my sister’s appearance, but it seems to have changed my mind. I wish I could have something with Lingshixiong. What does it look like?"

Lu Mingfu also sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and took a couple of sips before she said plausibly, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. Don't you want me to change my mind?" After a pause, he continued: "I used to I don't think so, just now when I saw you two standing together, I realized that you are a handsome man and a beautiful woman. You are a match made in heaven. If it were someone else, you are so beautiful, and Ling Shixiong is so handsome, who else would be so handsome? Can you match it?"

Lu Mingxuan blushed when she was told, and said angrily: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Just now Brother Ling was really just thanking me, and the relationship between us is not what you think, let alone what sister said about our family and the Ling family's family background. The gap is too big, Mr. Ling's house is too chaotic, and he has no possessions, so he is definitely not a good match. How long have you been saying this, why does it seem like a different person all of a sudden?"

Lu Mingfu said: "I used to think so, but it's different now, brother Ling's family has been robbed of his title and property, and reduced to common people, in the final analysis they are the same as our family, maybe they are not as good as our family Yes, you are naturally worthy of him. Now that he is an official again, with his age and ability, and the protection of the old Duke and the fifth master, in the future, no matter how big an official is, the fifth or sixth grade should be It's not difficult, then I can ask for an imperial order for you. After the imperial order is issued for you, he will be an official in the capital. Naturally, it is impossible for him to return to Linzhou. You can be the master of the house after passing the door, and you don't have to deal with Mrs. Weng I don't know how easy it is, even if his family comes to Beijing to look for him, his father has been deprived of the title, his grandmother and stepmother are naturally no longer the imperial wife, even if they put on the airs of the elders, they will never try to control you. Not to mention that the three generations of his family have not been able to take the imperial examination, then he will be the biggest official and the most promising person within the three generations of his family, and the whole family will depend on him for a living, who dares to anger his wife?"

After analyzing the benefits of marrying Ling Mengqi now, Lu Mingfu finally concluded: "The most important thing is that I saw the way he looked at you just now, so gentle and focused, it's different from looking at anyone else, It can be seen that in his mind, you are different... So you can tell me what you think in your heart now, don't worry, I am absolutely happy to see your affairs come to fruition now, and I will never object again. "

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help crying and laughing. According to Lu Mingfu, daring to be sympathetic to the entire Guangping Marquis's Mansion was no less than a catastrophic disaster. In Lu Mingfu's view, the seizing of titles and fines for confiscating family property was actually a good thing. If this is for the Guangping Marquis Mansion, no, it should be the Ling Mansion now, if this is known to the whole Ling Mansion, why not die of anger right away?

She pondered for a long time before she said seriously: "Brother Ling Shi and I really have nothing, sister should not think about it, and make people listen to it carefully and make a joke." It's nip in the bud.

A look of disappointment appeared on Lu Mingfu's face, "There is really nothing? That's such a pity! I was thinking that if you really have that kind of meaning between you, I will find a chance to talk to Dad and let Dad After discussing with the old lady as soon as possible, the matter will be finalized, so as not to... lest you may encounter the situation when you were in the palace that day, even though you told me afterwards that you met the imperial concubine by chance I was lucky enough to escape the schemes of the empress and the eldest prince, but I know that things will never be as simple as you said, and there must be dangers behind which I don't know. I am afraid that after this incident, the eldest prince will not let it go You, if you and Ling Shixiong can make a decision earlier, he is now a Jinyiwei, and he is capable, so he might be able to protect you, but if it is someone else, he may not have that ability..."
