Yijia Yishi

Chapter 162
Lu Shuyi stood on the spot and her expression returned to normal. She said lightly, "A marriage, what is a marriage?"

Although she was very surprised in her heart, surprised that He Tai would take the initiative to talk to her about her marriage, but she didn't show it on the surface.

She doesn't look happy in front of outsiders, this is what she learned in her previous life, and it is also her best disguise.

Seeing her not surprised at all, He Tai frowned again, and said, "You... aren't you surprised at all?"

"Does my cousin want to see me surprised?" Lu Shuyi asked back.

He Tai frowned deeper, looked at Lu Shuyi without saying a word, and asked slowly after a while: "My mother has been very close to you these days, have you noticed anything wrong?"

"Isn't the second wife looking for me for sweet-scented osmanthus brew? By the way, today is for paper-cutting." She answered crisply.

He Tai was about to vomit blood.

Did she really not notice that something was wrong or did she not want to say it?
At this moment, he regretted chasing after her to remind her.

He had an internally hurt expression, but Lu Shuyi wanted to make up for it, and asked, "Am I not right?"

The expression on He Tai's face was like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost, without any trace of anger.

Lu Shuyi felt a sense of revenge.

In his previous life, He Tai was used by people with ulterior motives to hurt her again and again, but he really owed her too much.I owe her youth, I owe her peace and joy, and I owe her an apology.

It was almost noon now, and the sunlight cast from the branches of the trees in the garden shone dappledly on Lu Shuyi's face, and there was a faint smile on her lips unconsciously.

He Tai looked at that smile in a daze for a moment, he didn't know what she was laughing at, he didn't know why she was laughing, and he didn't know why he couldn't wait to talk to her about her marriage.

What is he expecting...

With a soft sigh, he looked into her calm eyes and said, "Forget it, I won't play around with you anymore. The reason why my mother has been so kind to you these days is because she has taken a fancy to you and wants to ask the old lady My wife betrothed you to Zhao Yong, my second cousin in Baoding Mansion. My cousin is about the same age as me, and he also got off the hook this year, but he didn't win..."

He Tai babbled about everything about Zhao Yong, but Lu Shuyi listened absent-mindedly, searching for all the memories about the name in her head.

She had never dealt with this person in her previous life, but she had only heard about him from He Zhaoer, and her reputation was mediocre.

It's just that the power of the Zhao family in Baoding Prefecture should not be underestimated. In the first few generations of the family, there were several Jinshi and Jinshi.

If such a family proposes a marriage, Mrs. Lu may not necessarily refuse.

Lu Shuyi gasped, and her heart became a mess.

This trouble came too suddenly and too fast, and she couldn't think of a strategy to deal with it for a while.

He Tai was still talking: "...My cousin has a very cheerful personality, but sometimes he doesn't follow the rules, and sometimes he is too stubborn, and even my uncle can't ignore him..."

Every sentence He Tai said seemed to say that Lu Shuyi and Zhao Yong were not suitable, and that Lu Shuyi should not marry Zhao Yong.

Lu Shuyi felt strange.

What is he anxious about when she gets married?
She never thought that He Tai would like her, nor would she understand that.In her previous life, she was mistaken, thinking that He Tai liked her, that He Tai would marry her and elope with her, but what happened?
So facing him in this life, she no longer wants to be affectionate and let herself act like a fool, foolishly surrounding him.

However, since he doesn't like her, why did he remind her of these things?This was planned by his mother, isn't he afraid that she will mess up this marriage after he tells her?
Lu Shuyi was thinking, she looked into He Tai's eyes and asked: "Why did you tell me this? You are not afraid that I will find out about these things and find a way to disrupt your mother's plan?"

He Tai looked at her very intently, with deep eyes, which were her favorite eyes.

No, it was her favorite look in the previous life.

This look is like a star in the dark night, as if someone who is not careful will be attracted to explore it.

Lu Shuyi pinched her fingers, feeling that the question she asked was a bit stupid, she wanted to change her words, but He Tai said in a deep voice: "It's nothing, I just thought... maybe, you don't want to marry into my uncle's house either. He found a reason to further explain: "After all, Baoding Mansion is far away from Changle Town. If you marry far away, it will be inconvenient for you to go back to your natal family to visit relatives..."

This is his reason.

Of course, he actually wanted to say that Zhao Yong was not worthy of Lu Shuyi at all.

Under the sun, his expression looked a little disappointed, and the corner of his mouth was pulled slightly, as if he was smiling but he didn't seem to be smiling: "Okay, I've said everything I can say, as for how you want to deal with this matter, I... I won't care, and I won't talk to my mother. Also... If you need me in anything, you can ask me for help, I... I'm not a bad person, you don't have to avoid me, don't Stay away from me... After all, I have no ill intentions towards you."

Listening to his words, Lu Shuyi suddenly didn't know how to answer.

Indeed, she does not deny that since she was reborn, she has always intentionally avoided him, and did not want to have much contact with him. After all, the events of the previous life are vivid, how can she be relieved?
She felt that she was right to alienate him and avoid him, and she was not wrong.

But he said it so unadorned in person, which still made her feel uncomfortable, as if she owed him.

After all, he was reborn, he didn't know anything, he didn't participate in anything...

"Actually, I saw it that night..." He Tai's voice was very soft but very strong, he looked at her very seriously, and whispered: "That night, your maid, Mo Ju, went to the Fuyuan Street, and went to see her from people. Yazi bought a maid who was sold by your Lu family..."

He was talking about the time when Mo Ju placed Fu'er.

Mo Ju said that when she came back, she bumped into a carriage, and the person in the carriage was He Tai.

It turned out that he had seen Mo Ju a long time ago.

"... She may not know that there was a group of people following behind her at that time, and it was I who led that group away."

What He Tai said surprised Lu Shuyi again, it turned out that he was the one who distracted Aunt An.

Why should he help her?

"I know that the maid you bought from Ren Yazi that night is someone close to your mother, and I also know that she helped Aunt An to harm your mother for a few dozen taels of silver... You placed her because you wanted her to come out one day Bring down Aunt An for you, right?"

He Tai completely spoke out, he did not hide the fact that he knew everything about Lu Shuyi like the back of his hand.

Lu Shuyi's eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at him in astonishment, and said for a long time: "...Since you know it all, then you should also know that I will definitely not marry into Baoding Mansion. I... just want to have a good time. Stay by my mother's side and protect her well."

She spoke sincerely and from the heart.

Even if she never gets married and keeps her by her mother's side all her life, she should be able to live a good life.

He Tai's tall and straight figure fell into Lu Shuyi's eyes like a wall.

It would have been nice if he had opened up his heart like this in his previous life...

Lu Shuyi sighed, her brows furrowed unknowingly.

As soon as she frowned, He Tai also frowned, her tone was like coaxing a child, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter, really, I will definitely help you, and I I won’t tell outsiders either.”

"How can you help me?" Lu Shuyi didn't know much about the Zhao family. After all, they were in Baoding Mansion. If they really came to propose marriage, the old lady Lu would come down and everything would be troublesome.

Now, she really needs He Tai's help.

"I haven't figured it out yet..." He Tai told her honestly, but he immediately assured him, "As long as you can trust me, I will definitely find a way... When I figure out a way, I will almost Someone told you, okay?"

His tone was full of discussion, like a big brother coaxing his sister, or like a young man coaxing a girl...

Lu Shuyi thought to herself, maybe that's how he got along with He Zhaoer on weekdays, that's why He Zhaoer was so infatuated with him that she was caught by Aunt An in her previous life.

Sometimes it is not a good thing for a man to be too gentle with a woman.

Lu Shuyi thought so, but nodded gratefully: "Okay, then I will thank you first, whether it is successful or not, I am grateful for your hard work."

She breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that many things were really let go at this moment, completely let go.

The pain of the previous life, the torn hole, is healing little by little, as beautiful as the splendid scenery seen after the fog has cleared...

She was finally able to open her heart to face He Tai.

The corners of He Tai's lips twitched slightly, and his signature sunny smile appeared on his face again, jokingly said: "You don't need to thank me, as long as you see me in the yard in the future, don't go around the road."

He said a little aggrieved: "You go around the road, I always thought I offended you somewhere..."

Lu Shuyi didn't explain, she just giggled: "It won't happen in the future."

"That's good..." He Tai let out a long breath of relief, looked around, and said, "I should go back too, you can go too."

Lu Shuyi nodded, looked around, and walked away holding the hem of her skirt.

He Taili watched her walk away from the same spot, and then came out from behind the rockery, straightened his clothes and walked towards Yilan Courtyard.

Mo Ju and Dongmei were still in shock, walking on the path, both of them were covered in hot sweat.

He Tai came out too suddenly just now, and Lu Shuyi and He Tai talked for a long time, so it's no wonder they were not in a hurry.

"...This Second Young Master He is really scary. If he hadn't been so quick to 'shh' just now, the slaves would have gone up and beat him up violently." Dongmei pouted, showing extreme dissatisfaction with He Tai.

Mo Ju also felt that He Tai's behavior just now was too scary. Fortunately, it was hidden there and was not seen by others, otherwise he would not be able to speak clearly with his long mouth all over his body.
