Chapter 291 Remorse (1)
Zhao Yanjie was stunned by what he said, and it took a moment for him to come back to his senses with a face full of disbelief, and laughed at himself: "Sister Xuan doesn't need to comfort me, I don't even look down on my behavior, let alone you who have been betrayed by me The matter has come to this point, I have nothing to say, no matter whether Sister Xuan is going to tell the old lady, or what to do, I will never say anything!"

After Zhao Yanjie finished speaking with a face full of self-mockery, he pursed his lips and lowered his head in shame, but then raised it up again, smiled wryly and said softly: "Wrong, from now on I can only call you 'Miss Xuan', and you don't deserve to be called You are 'Sister Xuan'."

Seeing the regret and loneliness on his face, Lu Mingxuan didn't want him to immerse himself in these unnecessary emotions, so she didn't say any more, but changed the subject and asked: "This is the end of the matter, I don't know what Cousin Zhao will do next. Intend?"

Zhao Yanjie was silent for a moment, and then said: "What else can I plan, of course, I will kowtow to the old lady to make amends, even if the old lady beats and scolds, she will never complain, and then move out of the Duke's mansion, and concentrate on preparing for the spring three years later."

Now, even if he is full of remorse, even if he still wants to be with Lu Mingxuan very much in his heart, he has no face to say such a thing again. , and went back to ask others for forgiveness, let alone whether Lu Mingxuan and her relatives would agree, it might as well be like this, at least the last bit of beauty can be preserved in Lu Mingxuan's heart.

After today, what he did will definitely be known to Mrs. Lu and the others, and he is ashamed to live in the Duke's Mansion anymore. Fortunately, before he came to Beijing, the old housekeeper thought that he would be with him when he came to Beijing this time. Lu Mingxuan got engaged, and let him bring all the income of the family over the past few years. Now he also has two or three thousand silver in his hands. It is not difficult to rent a house and study hard for three years without distraction.

This time, he must rely on his own ability to earn a good future for himself, and he will never have any opportunistic thoughts, and he will never be such a person who even despises himself now!

Lu Mingxuan was not surprised by Zhao Yanjie's answer, she nodded and said, "It's good that Cousin Zhao has such a heart, but has Cousin Zhao considered it for Fifth Miss? If you just move out like this, what will Fifth Miss do? It doesn't mean that Miss Wu has already made an agreement with you. Regardless of whether you win this time, she will ask the second master to ask the second master to talk to the old man, first to settle the marriage between you and her in private. , will you formally let her go after she becomes a filial piety? Now that you have moved out like this, what do you want her to think?"

Zhao Yanjie really didn't think of Lu Mingxin for a moment. Hearing Lu Mingxuan's words, he couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "What you just said was a lie to you. I thought you must hate me very much. I thought that if hating me would make you feel better, then I will make you feel better." Let’s hate it more thoroughly, but who knows you are so generous and tolerant. The fifth girl revealed this to me, but I didn’t agree, but I have always acquiesced in Chengxin’s association with the maids in the fifth girl’s room, and it is true. I did not do it right, after I have finished pleading guilty to the old lady, I will go to plead guilty to the old man and the second master, and listen to them."

Although he never responded positively to Lu Mingxin from the beginning to the end, he also never explicitly rejected her from the beginning to the end. Based on this alone, it is he who deserves to be punished by the old master and the second master Lu. Yes, he never complained.

Lu Mingxuan frowned and said, "Have you ever thought about it, Miss Wu is still in the filial piety, if you go to plead guilty to the old master and the second master, of course you will not be able to please, the result of the fifth girl is probably worse than yours, a good result Was it sent to a family temple or a nunnery? If something bad happened, maybe even your life would not be saved. In fact, Miss Wu is not bad, and now she is interested in you. Why don't you simply make an engagement with her? The old lady, I'm going to deal with you, presumably even though the old man is angry, she may not really do anything to you."

Hearing this, Zhao Yanjie also frowned: "It's because I didn't think about it. This will indeed put Fifth Miss in a disadvantageous situation. It's just that Fifth Miss may not really mean me, it's just...or I'll just talk to you in private. If she made it clear, she would not plead guilty to the Old Master and the Second Master, so as not to implicate her."

"How do you know that Fifth Miss may not really be interested in you?" Lu Mingxuan said, "I know you want to say that she is afraid that she will get old after filial piety and will not be able to find a good marriage, so she rushes to the doctor in a hurry, but in all fairness, Although the fifth girl is the lowest among the girls, she is still a lady of the Duke's mansion. How can the old man really see that she is poorly married? It should not be difficult to find a husband with the same qualifications as Cousin Zhao , so maybe she is really interested in Cousin Zhao in her heart. Cousin Zhao has already failed me, so is she planning to fail Miss Fifth together? I think Cousin Zhao should take responsibility for himself in this matter. It is the responsibility that should be borne!"

Regardless of whether Lu Mingxin took aim at Zhao Yanjie and went to the doctor in a hurry, in terms of his talent, appearance and personality, although he is not outstanding among the girls in the Duke's Mansion, he is not bad, and he is definitely enough to match Zhao Yanjie. If Zhao Yanjie and her can really become a couple, it can be considered that after such a long period of struggle and conflicts, they will not gain nothing. As for the lessons, I believe the remorse and shame in his heart, as well as the failure of this subject, are enough for him to remember forever.

After Lu Mingxuan finished speaking, seeing that Zhao Yanjie didn't speak, she said again: "Of course, this is just my humble opinion. What to do in the end is up to Cousin Zhao himself. Please let me know in advance, so that I can deal with the old lady on your behalf. Finally, I would like to advise Cousin Zhao that money and power are important, but what is more important is people, and the heart of a person. I hope Cousin Zhao will cherish it in the future People around you should also cherish yourself!"

Although she forgave Zhao Yanjie's treachery, it didn't mean she thought he was right. She only hoped that he could always remember this lesson, treat Lu Mingxin kindly in the future, and stick to his own heart. Same behavior!

These words are equivalent to issuing an order to chase away guests. Although Zhao Yanjie's face was full of shame and the regret in his heart was beyond words, he could only stand up and replied in a deep voice: "Miss Xuan's words, I will always remember them in my heart, please Miss Xuan cherishes it, and bid farewell!"

After finishing speaking, he finally took a deep look at Lu Mingxuan before turning around and striding out. However, before he took a few steps, tears were already streaming down his face. He finally lost the person he cherished and cared about the most in his heart, but All of this is his own fault, so who can he blame?
Besides, Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu saw Zhao Yanjie's back in the next room, without even thinking about it, Lu Zhongxian picked up his chair and wanted to chase him out, but was grabbed by Lu Mingfu, and was about to speak, when Lu Mingxuan came from the flower hall, As soon as he saw Lu Zhongxian's appearance, he knew what he wanted to do, because he hurriedly said: "Father, what are you doing, don't forget that you are now an official of the court, don't you still want to know if you break the law?"
