Chapter 268 Compensation (4)
If Zhao Yanjie didn't go to his house during the Chinese New Year, if they didn't have a clear path in front of Mrs. Lu and Lu Zhongxian, no matter how complicated Ling Mengqi's family is, even if the status of Concubine Luo in the palace is also a treasure to Ling Mengqi. A ticking time bomb, even if in the future it involves such a big event as seizing the heir... Lu Mingxuan would not hesitate at all, but what's the point of talking about it now, she simply took this opportunity to completely cut off the thoughts in Ling Mengqi's heart , and completely cut off the thoughts in my heart!

Ever since Ling Mengqi learned of her true identity through Lu Mingxuan's mouth that day, as long as she has free time, she has been thinking about one thing, that is, Lu Mingxuan has been avoiding him before, and even hinted that the person she wants to marry is Zhao Yanjie. Is it because she knows her true identity and is afraid in her heart that she refuses to be like her, who has a complicated life experience, and would rather choose Zhao Yanjie, who is much simpler?
This idea was not because he wanted Lu Mingxuan to be his wife too much, so he took it for granted and thought of it in a positive way, but he always believed that Lu Mingxuan treated him differently, at least the way she looked at him was the same as when she looked at Zhao Yanjie. Not the same, so he has every reason to believe that the reason why Lu Mingxuan avoided him earlier was not that she was not with him, but that he couldn't.

The fact is indeed the case. Just now, Lu Mingxuan admitted that he really has a crush on him. How happy and excited he was, one can imagine that as for what Lu Mingxuan said, 'his parents and relatives are too complicated', he I have already thought about how to persuade her.

However, after hearing what she said later, when she said that her feelings for him were 'not enough for her to lose her simple and leisure life for the rest of her life', he could no longer say what he wanted to persuade her.

In the past, he could still cheer himself up, saying that it was because of some objective reasons that she didn't dare to look directly at her feelings for him, and that's why she kept avoiding him. He could say that everyone's background and family are different. He couldn't choose, if he could, he didn't want to be born in the Ling family, and he didn't want to be the son of Concubine Luo.

But now that she is no longer avoiding her feelings for him, these objective reasons are no longer a problem, and the problem is only subjective. Now it is Lu Mingxuan who has made it clear that there is a difference between her feelings for him and a leisurely life. Choosing the latter made it clear that he was willing to be with Zhao Yanjie but unwilling to be with him when he was in his heart.

Could it be that he can still carve out the bones to return the father, and cut the flesh to return the mother, when the Ling family has never raised him, and when Concubine Luo has never given birth to him, he can't do it. He has the means and confidence to do other things, how should he do these two things?Otherwise, he really used force on her, forcing her to have nothing to do with him, so what's the point of only getting her, but not her heart?
Ling Mengqi couldn't help laughing wryly, and said in a low voice after a long while: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have come today. If I didn't come, at least I still had some hope in my heart, but now there is no hope at all. I can only wish you good luck." You and Brother Zhao... have grown old together. Well, it’s getting late, I should go, you should take a break earlier and say goodbye!”

After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the window, and his face was quickly hidden in the night, but Lu Mingxuan clearly saw a trace of determination in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in her heart, and she almost couldn't help calling him out. , but she still held back after all, just looked at him and took a deep look at herself, then squatted down, and suddenly disappeared from her eyes in the next moment.She hurriedly looked around, but saw a blurry figure flashing on the opposite wall, and after a few moves, there was no more movement, obviously he had already gone far.

Lu Mingxuan couldn't help covering her chest, and didn't care about closing the window, or whether she would catch cold from the cold floor, so she slowly slid along the wall and sat down on the floor, with Ling Mengqi's decisive eyes flashing before her eyes all the time.I don't know how long it took, Lu Mingxuan felt a cold touch from her hand, and when she looked back, she realized that it was her own tears. Before she knew it, she had already shed tears all over her face...

The fact that Lu Zhongxian became an official soon spread throughout the entire Dingguo mansion. How the people in the outer court reacted Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu had no way of knowing, but they were the ones who treated them more politely and attentively than before. Being able to experience it personally, Lu Mingfu couldn't help sighing with Lu Mingxuan: "Although I have always known that 'a heart of wealth and honor and two decent eyes' have been born in the mansion, but I have never experienced it so deeply as this time. Fortunately, daddy is only a sixth grade, if the rank is higher, wouldn't they be more courteous?"

Lu Mingxuan said with some disinterestedness: "Isn't it good that they are more irritating and considerate to us than before, anyway, we are the ones who benefited, but it was Daddy who said that he would pick us up a few days before the banquet, and I don't know him Have you chosen a date, these days are boring enough to stay in the mansion every day, I've long been homesick and went to relax for a few days."

Lu Mingfu said with a serious face: "I think so too, but my father said that we should wait until the official entry date is set before serving wine, otherwise we are afraid that others will say that he is frivolous, so just wait a little longer." , I think it's only a few days."

Seeing that Lu Mingxuan was still looking listless, he nudged her with his elbow and said, "What's wrong with you these days, I see you're always listless, maybe you're thinking that Cousin Zhao will return home in a few days So I’m starting to worry about it now? Let me tell you, what do you have to worry about? Didn’t he just go back to his hometown to get rid of his clothes and take two more exams? With his knowledge, if he wants to do it once, he can even pass the exam Although it is unrealistic, it is not difficult to become a scholar, and he will come back at the end of the year at the end of the year, but we will not see each other for more than half a year, what's the big deal?"

Zhao Yanjie's filial piety period should be up in June. Originally, when his grandmother passed away, one year's filial piety would be enough for him to be a grandson. The only grandson, he has decided to stay in obedience for 27 months. It is calculated that he should give his filial piety in June this year, and because Yuezhou is a month away from the capital, he has already decided to return to his hometown in April.

And because Zhao Yanjie seemed to have suddenly opened up since he came to visit on the second day of the Lunar New Year's Day. Every now and then, the boy and Lu Mingxuan would bring in some fashionable gadgets or snacks, and he was very hospitable to Lu Mingxuan. However, Ling Mengqi didn't do anything these days, so Lu Mingfu thought, it must be something that his sister or father said to Ling Shixiong, which broke his thoughts, and now her future brother-in-law, most likely It was Zhao Yanjie, that's why she said this.

Seeing Lu Mingfu's playful face, Lu Mingxuan didn't know what to do with her, besides, she was not worried about Zhao Yanjie, she was worried about another person... But it's really not easy to say this to Lu Mingfu , he just said: "My sister bullied me again, carefully I will go back and tell my father! I was just thinking, now that my father is an official, and there is also a wife at home who takes care of all the trivial matters in order. The old lady took us in earlier. The government is afraid that we will not have the guidance of female elders, and it also wants to let father have no worries about running errands with the Duke of the country. Now the wife's character is seen by everyone, and the old lady does not have to worry about the wife getting along with us. Okay, and from now on, Dad will not be working in the Duke's Mansion, so how can we live again, should we move back home?"
