Hearing his angry shout, Lu Xiao's expression immediately changed.

"Qi Heng, I just praised you and you got carried away, didn't you? I gave you face, and you dared to yell at me?"

As he spoke, he slowly raised his fist.

Seeing this, Qi Heng subconsciously took a half step back, but his expression remained resolute.

"I am not afraid of you. Even if you kill me, it won't change my true feelings for Sixth Sister."

Lu Xiao glanced at him again in surprise.

Oh, Qi Heng is really amazing today.

Could it be that alcohol gave the coward courage?

He didn't drink much though.

Well, this child is also a poor person, so I won't bother with him.

Lu Xiao slowly lowered his hand and said seriously.

"Qi Heng, the reason why I don't like you to contact my Sixth Sister has nothing to do with whether you are sincere or not. I even believe that if I don't interfere, with your character and talent, it is only a matter of time before you can impress my Sixth Sister."

"Then why are you stopping us? Do you think I'm not worthy of Sixth Sister?"

Qi Heng really couldn't figure this out.

Lu Xiao asked, "Have you ever seriously considered a question?"

"What?" Qi Heng asked.

Lu Xiao asked, "Can you make the decision about your marriage?"

When these words came out, Qi Heng was stunned.

He had never considered this question.

Lu Xiao continued, "The Duke of Qi's mansion may seem glorious now, but I'm sure you know it's no longer as prosperous as it once was. That's why the Duke of Qi and Princess Pingning have placed their hopes of bringing glory to the family on you, their only son."

"You probably know your mother, Princess Pingning, better than I do. Given her personality, even if you were to marry, she would definitely choose a family that would support you in your future career. Do you think the Sheng family fits your mother's vision?"

After hearing this, Qi Heng already had the answer in his mind.

No one knows his mother better than him.

With his mother's temper, she would definitely look down on the Sheng family.

But he still wanted to struggle: "If I say that I will definitely convince my mother, do you believe me?"

Lu Xiao laughed and said, "Before you say that, you should first ask yourself whether you believe it or not."

"Qi Heng, I'm not looking down on you. You're too soft-hearted and too filial, so fundamentally, you wouldn't dare disobey any decision made by your mother."

Qi Heng shook his head stubbornly and said, "No, you don't understand me. For Sixth Sister's sake, I will definitely find a way to convince my mother. Even if it means death, I will find a way to make her agree."

Lu Xiao said, "You're wrong. I understand you better than you think. I believe you dare to threaten me with death, but you overestimate the importance of Sixth Sister in your heart. In fact, she is not as important as you think."

"Don't disbelieve me. Let me give you an analogy. Imagine one day a woman whose family background and power far surpass yours falls in love with you. She then uses her power to threaten you with your parents' lives to marry her. The price is that you betray my Sixth Sister. What would you choose?"

There is actually no second answer to this question.

On one side is one's own love, on the other side is one's own parents' lives.

Anyone with a conscience would probably choose the latter.

This is still the case even if Lu Xiao is placed in Qi Heng's shoes.

But the problem is that Lu Xiao is not on Qi Heng's side now.

This metaphor is what is destined to happen in the future timeline.

Qi Heng truly has his own difficulties.

But it's also true that he betrayed Sheng Xiaoliu.

Lu Xiao had no relationship with him, so naturally he had to consider the issue from his sister's perspective.

"I..." Qi Heng opened his mouth for a long time, but still did not give an answer.

Finally, he said angrily, "The example you gave is flawed. This kind of thing simply cannot happen."

Okay, he cheated.

Lu Xiao smiled softly, then said, "Alright, let me use another example. Suppose one day your mother and my sixth sister both fell into the river. Who would you choose to save? This question has nothing to do with filial piety. Simply tell me the truest answer from the bottom of your heart. A gentleman should be honest, and I believe your answer. If you say it's my sixth sister, I will never stop you again."

Lu Xiao actually used a little trick to solve this problem.

When he said the four words "A gentleman should be honest", he used a literary tone.

With the blessing of Wen Qi, Qi Heng couldn't tell a lie at this moment.

Lu Xiao didn't dare to gamble on Qi Heng's character.

If this guy was a little smarter today and told a lie, wouldn't he have trapped Lu Xiao?

The subsequent situation was pretty much as Lu Xiao had expected.

Under the influence of the literary spirit, a conflicted expression flashed across Qi Heng's face several times.

Several times, the word "six" was on the verge of slipping out of his mouth, but he swallowed it back in the end.

After a long time, he finally gave up resistance, obeyed his "heart", and uttered five words.

"I'll save my mother."

As soon as these five words came out, Qi Heng seemed to have lost his soul and collapsed on his seat in a daze.

After a while, seeing that he still hadn't responded, Lu Xiao was really worried that he might have ruined the child.

So he called out, "Hey, are you okay?"

After hearing Lu Xiao's shout, Qi Heng finally came to his senses. He smiled bitterly, sighed heavily, and said.

"It turns out that Sixth Sister isn't as important to me as I thought. I can't even tell a lie for her, so how can I lie to myself and convince Mother? My so-called sincerity is just a joke, hahaha!"

After saying this, Qi Heng picked up the wine jug on the table and took a gulp.

Still able to speak.

That means it's okay.

Lu Xiao felt relieved.

It's definitely not in good shape.

But it's not a big deal.

It's nothing more than a broken heart.

"Alright, three times is the limit. I don't want to tell you about my sixth sister a fourth time. My patience is really limited. It's only because you're not a bad person that I've told you so many times. Otherwise, I would have used other means long ago."

Lu Xiao said to Qi Heng.

It would be best if this matter could end here. If not, Lu Xiao would definitely not be so gentle in the future.

Qi Heng nodded and said, "I understand. I won't bother Sixth Sister anymore. But I have one last question for you. I hope you can answer it truthfully."

"You have so many things to do." Lu Xiao shook his head. "But since you're so pitiful, I'll give you a chance. Tell me, what's the problem?"

Qi Heng sat up straight, looked at Lu Xiao seriously, and asked.

"If your mother and wife fell into the river at the same time, who would you save?"

Good, you're using my question to embarrass me.

Qi Heng, you are quite good at playing the game.

However, Lu Xiao also knew that the answer to the question was not important. Qi Heng just wanted to know what his choice would be if faced with the same question.

Chapter 94: Getting smarter?

Qi Heng is still quite clever.

During this period, the chat with the skirt made Yi Qi (four) V Jiu Jiu Pa Lian feel embarrassed in front of Lu Xiao.

He was actually holding his breath.

In terms of talent and learning, he cannot compare to Lu Xiao.

Now Lu Xiao even belittled his infatuation with Sheng Xiaoliu as worthless.

So, he wanted to vent his anger no matter what.

But I couldn't beat him.

After thinking about it, he could only think of this method.

In his opinion, Lu Xiao's question just now was also unsolvable.

Regardless of whether Lu Xiao's answer was the same as his.

As long as he chooses, he is also a vulgar person.

He is nothing more than a common man who is a little smarter than him.

This way, he would finally feel better.

In addition, he also wanted Lu Xiao to experience the mental journey he had just gone through.

He never wanted to experience that kind of torment again in his life.

Of course, he wasn't afraid that Lu Xiao would just give him a random answer to fool him.

Because he knew clearly that Lu Xiao was actually an extremely proud person.

Such people should just refuse to answer his questions.

Either what you say must be the truth.

Because this kind of person doesn't bother to lie.

So no matter whether Lu Xiao answered or not, or what the answer was, he didn't care.

All he cared about was venting his anger.

However, Lu Xiao's choice was destined to disappoint Qi Heng.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip before looking up at Qi Heng and speaking word by word.

"If this happened to me, I would cut off the flow of the river!"

The sound is not loud.

But full of confidence and self-confidence.

It was as if the person who said this had the power to change the world.

But for some reason, Qi Heng didn't see any perfunctory look in Lu Xiao's eyes, as if he really had that ability.

Qi Heng didn't know where Lu Xiao got such confidence from.

But he was sure that Lu Xiao was not lying.

After a long moment, he shook his head slightly, picked up the wine jug again and took a long sip.

"Forget it. I won't compete with you anymore. It's boring."

There was a hint of inexplicable relief in his tone.

Sometimes it's hard to guess what a man is thinking.

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going out for a walk."

Lu Xiao slowly stood up and walked out of the private room.

But just as he reached the door, Qi Heng spoke again behind him.

"Hey, there's something I forgot to tell you. You still underestimate me."

Lu Xiao turned around in surprise and asked, "What?"

At this moment, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Qi Heng's lips, and then he spoke slowly.

"I just woke up from a dream and recalled the past events, which came back vividly. Suddenly, I realized something."

Lu Xiao didn't ask, but just waited quietly for his next words.

Qi Heng continued, "Lu Xiao, do you really only have brotherly feelings for your Sixth Sister?"
