Chapter 33
Lu Jian felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and waved his hands again and again, "No, it's not that you are bad."

Minghui also ran out and pulled her sister, "You come back with me! He's not good, mother will naturally choose a better marriage for you, why should he care about him?" He scolded Lu Jian in a cold voice, "Hurry up! Don't get in my sister's eyes anymore."

"Why?" Xianhui still didn't give up, let alone understand, why is it different in this life when she was clearly engaged to him in the previous life?She recalled that the two had no relationship in the previous life, and in this life, she felt unspeakably sad, and said sadly: "Even if you reject me, you have to give me a reason."

Lu Jian looked at that absolutely beautiful girl with tears in his eyelashes, like a white pear flower with dewdrops after the rain, it was indescribably pitiful.Right now, she questioned herself full of sadness and grievance, resentment and annoyance at the same time, her affection for herself was clearly written in her eyes——suddenly she felt that she had done something wrong and was sorry for her.

Shen Shi was so angry that her complexion changed, she got up and pushed Xianhui, "Go in, go in, you will lose your face."

Minghui persuaded her younger sister, "Silly girl, you can't do it for such a person."

Xianhui just cried out in pain, "Lu Jian, Lu Jian..."

Lu Jian felt that her heart was going to be broken by her shouting. She was right. She shouldn't be allowed to bear the blame from her mother and sister. If she was wrong, it was her own fault.Suddenly, he cupped his fists and knelt down on one knee, "I'm sorry, this is all my fault! Originally, I wanted to form this relationship, but when I went back just now, my parents said..."

Chen might as well if he would suddenly act like this, despite being surprised, he was still angry and annoyed, "You don't have to be hypocritical, you don't have to kneel down and dirty my land, hurry up and go!"

Lu Jian gritted his teeth, "My parents ordered Miss Shao San for me!"

"Boom!" Like a muffled thunder, a thunderbolt from a clear sky immediately scorched the Shen mother and daughter.

Xianhui was even more unbelievable, and exclaimed: "You say it again?!"

Lu Jian didn't dare to look into her sad eyes, lowered his eyes, only saw a white cloud-like skirt floating in front of him, and said in a sad voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't know about these things beforehand, I just heard about them when I went back today. .My great aunt has already asked for my birthday horoscope to go and find someone to match it with Miss Shao San."

In his bones, he is still a scholar who is clear and upright. Not only does he have no sinister heart, but he is kind. "It's not good to hurt Miss Shaosan's face again. Besides, I can't resign her and marry you again. That would be sorry for you, and it would be a shame." It exposes you to gossip, which hurts you as well."

"You nerd, you don't know anything!" Xianhui was angry and furious, if it wasn't for the infidelity between men and women, she would have stretched out her hand to pull him, "Hurry up, this is not your fault at all." Ugly: "It doesn't matter who you marry in this life, you can, but you can't marry Shao Tongyun!"

Shen's face gradually became serious, and she also said, "Lu Jian, get up and talk."

Although Lu Jian didn't know why, he was smart and felt that something was wrong.

He stood up slowly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Lu Jian." Xianhui shook his head, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "There are some things I can't tell you." She couldn't say that Shao Tongyun's innocence had been ruined, and it would cause trouble if it involved Prince Qing's mansion. Can use the most sincere tone: "Please believe me, I can swear to God that I have no bad intentions. You can marry anyone in this life, but there is only one thing, that is, you cannot marry Shao Tongyun."

Minghui followed, "I can swear too."

Shen's complexion was serious, and his eyes were clear, "I swear, count me in."

"No, no." Lu Jian waved his hands again and again, and said sincerely, "I don't mean to disbelieve you, I'll listen to you."

"Lu Jian, you can't marry Shao Tongyun." Xianhui took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "I don't know how to tell you clearly, and there are some things I can't say. In short, if you marry Shao Tongyun, you will There will be troubles, troubles, and countless troubles, so you can't marry her."

Lu Jian looked at her eyes that were as clear as a pool of lake water. They were clean and clear, filled with concern, worry and anxiety for him. How could he doubt her anymore?There was a slight movement in my heart, and there were ripples of emotion.

She is kind and soft at the bottom of her heart, and she knew it from the first time we met.

I just don't understand, what's wrong with Shao Tongyun?It will make their mother and daughter so fiercely opposed that they even have to swear to prove it to themselves.There is some speculation in my heart,...is Shao Tongyun suffering from a serious illness?Or already have a crush?If it's not another problem, I dare not make a judgment on my own.

Knowing that this is not the time to vent her anger, Xian Hui asked, "How did you and Shao Tongyun get married? Who was the matchmaker, and what did they say? Tell me."

"That's it..." Lu Jian said it from beginning to end.

Xian Hui was silent for a while.

In the previous life, I had been engaged to Lu Jian, so I had heard a little bit about his aunt's behavior. She loved money, was stingy, and was a calculating woman.Since she was the matchmaker for this marriage, and she was in such a hurry, she must have been promised favors.But I can't say anything about my father's promise of benefits to Mrs. Lu, because I don't have any real evidence.

——It seemed to be slandering Lu Jian's elders.

And the person who benefits Mrs. Lu is probably his father.

Because even if the Rong family wanted to marry Shao Tongyun, they definitely didn't want to have anything to do with the East Hospital. Song Wenting and Lu Jian were good friends, and it would be a lot of trouble for their mother and daughter if they had a happy and happy relationship in the future.

Xianhui thought for a while and said, "Lu Jian, you should know that my third younger sister is Mrs. Rong's only daughter, her darling, the apple of her eye, and the Princess of Dajun in Prince Qing's Mansion is her first cousin. Girls from the country like my sister and I can be compared." The tone paused, "To put it bluntly, her vision is in the sky, how could she have a crush on you?"

Lu Jian heard this and thought about it, this marriage is indeed a bit strange.

Xianhui said again: "It's true that the third sister doesn't want to participate in the show girl election. But how rich is the Shao family? How much money does Mrs. Rong have? Not to mention, they have a relationship as relatives of Prince Qing's mansion , Just say hello, make up a reason, who dares to force her to be a beautiful girl? Take ten thousand steps back, she really wants to marry, Man Jiang doesn't know how many talented young people, waiting for her Shao Tong Yun picks it."

Ming Hui hesitated to speak, and interjected, "My sister is not burying you, but worried about you."

Lu Jian nodded.

He looked at Xianhui, and a warm feeling flashed in his heart.

Xianhui looked at her mother and sister, "Although the family ugliness is not publicized, there has always been a quarrel between the east and west courtyards of the Shao family. Anyone who wants to come outside knows it." He said a strange thing that came to mind before, "You think, if Shao Tongyun and you We got married, and my elder sister married Song Wenting, wouldn't they have to come and go frequently in the future? How could they ask for trouble?"

Lu Jian nodded slightly.

"So..." Xianhui looked at him worriedly, "According to the logic, it is absolutely impossible for Shao Tongyun to marry you, and Mrs. Rong would not be willing either. And now she suddenly wants to get engaged to you, and she is in such a hurry, naturally ..." The tone paused, "Naturally, she had unavoidable difficulties and was in a hurry to get married. She didn't even have time to choose someone carefully, so she chose you as Song Wenting's friend. After all, Song Wenting and my sister are already engaged. , appearance, and foundation are all carefully examined by my mother, so you won't have any major problems."

"What's so urgent?" Lu Jian couldn't help asking.

Shen's mother and daughter looked at each other, both hesitated to speak, with unspeakable expressions on their faces, but in the end they were all silent for a while, no one said the real reason.

Lu Jian saw that it was not allowed to inquire, so she was silent for a while, "There are indeed many things wrong with this marriage. I take everything you said to heart and discuss it with my parents when I go back."

Xianhui shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Lu Jian looked at her with clear eyes, "Why?"

Xianhui smiled wryly, "You believe me, your parents have never met us, so how can you believe it? And even if you can successfully convince your parents, what are you going to do next?"

Yes, what are you going to do next?Lu Jian pondered, he couldn't just divorce the Shao family because of this.

—That was no joke.

"Don't worry." Xianhui said again: "Didn't you say that you just got married because of your birthday? The matter has not been publicized yet, and your family has not given a betrothal gift. There is still room for things to change." She frowned slightly , "Let's think of a way, it's best to let Shao Tongyun take the initiative to refuse, and this matter will be resolved."

When Lu Jian heard her say "we", his heart skipped a beat, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes.

Xianhui didn't pay attention, but looked at her mother and sister, "Do you have any ideas?"

All of a sudden, where did Shen and Ming Hui come up with the idea?They all shook their heads.

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke.

After a while, Lu Jian suddenly said, "That..." After the initial guilt and shock, he calmed down now, especially when he kept looking at the concern in Xianhui's eyes, he felt warm in his heart.When he spoke, his tone was unknowingly softer, "I have an idea, maybe it can work."

Xianhui immediately said: "Say it quickly."

Her eyes were bright, like the brightest stars in the midsummer night sky.

Lu Jian couldn't help but look at her one more time, and then looked away, "To untie the bell, you have to tie the bell..." He spoke his way in a calm and unhurried tone.

Xian Hui stroked her palm and said, "This is a good idea."

Shen Shi and Minghui looked at each other and nodded.

Xian Hui looked at the elegant young man with joy in his eyes, and couldn't help boasting: "You are so smart, you thought of the key point so quickly, and you came up with an idea right away."

Lu Jian blushed slightly.

Shen shi coughed and glared at her daughter.

Lu Jian was afraid that Xianhui would be embarrassed by her mother's complaints, so she hurriedly found a topic again, expressing her uneasiness, "It's just that even if this strategy succeeds in retiring Miss Shao, it can still be regarded as offending her, and the two families have become enmity since then. In the future..." A little embarrassed, she looked at her, "I will be engaged to you in the future, I am afraid that you will also suffer from it."

Xianhui curled her lips disapprovingly, "The two families of the Shao family have long had a big feud, and it's not bad for you." She was engaged to Lu Jian in her previous life, and subconsciously, she felt that she was his. , "It can't be said that we are involved."

And Lu Jian couldn't help but turn his mouth slightly when he heard her showing her intimacy again and again.

Minghui felt sorry for her younger sister, this girl, she has not even said anything about her marriage, she is just so outgoing, she doesn't know what shyness is, she is really cheeky.He wanted to reproach his sister with a few words, but it was hard for Lu Jian to say so, so he quietly tugged at her sleeve.

Shen Shi also saw that her little daughter's intentions were too obvious, and felt embarrassed for her.Now that the matter has been clarified and the way to deal with it has been discussed, Lu Jian is a stranger with no name and no distinction, so he said: "Then you go back first, don't discuss the details with your parents for now, wait for us." news."

"Okay." Lu Jian reluctantly said, "Then I'll take my leave first."

It's early spring right now, and there are still some scattered snowflakes outside.

"Wait!" Xian Hui chased him out with a red face, stood on the steps, and said to him: "It's windy and snowy outside, I'll ask a girl to lead you to the front and bring you my brother's cloak." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Don't freeze, it won't be good if there is a wind and cold again."

She called the girl and said, "Go to the front yard and get a cloak of the uncle, and lend it to Mr. Lu."

Lu Jian looked at the beautiful girl who looked like a jewel of jewels, and she chased her out, expressing her care in a soft voice, even a hard-hearted heart would melt, not to mention that she had already been in love with her,—— the whole heart My heart turned into a puddle of water, and my heart beat even faster, "Hey, hey... I see."

Ming Hui chased her out to tease her younger sister, and said awkwardly, "Come in with me."

After all, Xianhui's temperament is rather lively and playful, and she is in a good mood right now. Before being dragged into the door by her sister, she even yelled at Lu Jian, "Hurry up, don't be spoiled by the wind outside."

With a "squeak", the door was closed.

Lu Jian stopped at the bottom of the steps, reluctant to give up.

He could hear Minghui scolding inside, "He's not a beauty lamp, how can he blow it up and it will be broken? Shameless girl!" Then she laughed like a bell, mixed with Shen's reproach, mother and daughter One gradually went to the back room.

Lu Jian laughed.

His mood has never been so clear and joyful at this moment, as if he is being illuminated by the sun.

When he came home, Lu's mother couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Where did you go in such a panic just now? Also, what do you mean by asking Miss Shao's family?"

"It's fine." Lu Jian lied, "I'm just going to ask Brother Song if Miss Shao San looks good."

Lu's mother relaxed her heart, and couldn't help laughing: "You child." Looking at her son's bright eyes, his face was full of joy, and the joy was about to flow down, she couldn't help joking, "Looking at you like this, then Miss Shao must be a Immortal."

Lu Jian thought of the girl who spoke softly to him, and smiled slightly, "Heavenly immortals are not as good as her."

After Lu Jian left, Xianhui suddenly became "ill".

"Sick?" Shao Tongyun sneered after hearing the news, "I'm not sick, what's wrong with her? Could it be that she was also..." The words that were also tarnished by the man did not come out after all.

The girl next to her was trembling. Although she didn't know the reason, she knew that the third lady had a very bad temper recently, and even scolded the wife and the second master together.In private, some people have quietly speculated whether the third lady has fallen into a bewilderment?Or was it entangled in something dirty?So they are very afraid of her.

Shao Tongyun frowned, "Go and find out, what's going on?"

The girl wondered: "Now the people in the east courtyard are very tight-lipped, not as good as before."

Speaking of this, Shao Tongyun couldn't help feeling angry again.

Why are the servants of the East courtyard so tight-lipped?Isn't it because Xian Hui took away their contract of sale?hateful!She plotted against the West Court again and again, causing herself to be in such a miserable situation, how could she still have the face to get sick?Angrily, he opened the drawer and threw a piece of silver to the girl, "Hurry up and find out!"

The girl wandered around for a while before she came back, "I heard that Miss's fiancé and his friend went to greet Mrs. Shen together in the morning, and then his friend came back again. Everything else is fine. Then Afterwards, Second Young Miss fell ill for some reason, and she invited a doctor, causing the East Yard to be in a mess."

Shao Tongyun sarcastically said, "I must be suffering from lovesickness."

The girls all lowered their heads and dared not answer.

Shao Tongyun was startled suddenly,... lovesickness?Could it be that the Shen family married off their two daughters, ordered the older one, and rushed to order the younger one?As a result, the smaller one was not ordered, so Xianhui fell ill.

There was just such a trivial matter in the back house, she quickly guessed the clue, and in order to confirm her guess, she took two ingots of ten taels of silver to her close servant girl, "Is that enough?" Then she said sharply, "I don't care how much time you spend, No matter how much effort you have spent, go and find out for me, why is that one sick? Go!"

Although I don't know why Xianhui fell ill, but I wish she could die, so of course I have to find out clearly before making calculations.

Shao Tongyun waited patiently for three days, but the people in the east courtyard were tight-lipped and couldn't pry it open.It wasn't until this afternoon that the girl became cruel and gave all the 20 taels of silver to the man, and then she got the news--and it was not ordinary news, it was the news that made her run back pale with fright.

"Miss San, Master...Master is going to promise you Miss Er's fiancé!"

"What?" Shao Tongyun slapped the girl hard as if struck by lightning, "What are you talking about!"

"It's true, I didn't lie." The girl was beaten on the ground and cried, sobbing, "Mrs. Shen wanted to ration the eldest uncle's friend to the second lady, but the master intervened in it, so, let him be assigned to the third lady." You. Woohoo, it's because of this that the second lady is so angry."

Shao Tongyun stared at the girl fiercely, and after thinking about it, she didn't have the courage to make up such a lie.But I didn't believe it in my heart, and ran out like crazy, and found my father, "Father, are you going to marry me?"

Shao Yuanheng frowned and said, "See what you look like!"
