"I've thought about it." Lin Wanyu leaned on Bai Lu's shoulder, carefully stroking the white jade bracelet on her wrist and said, "Since we can't change the 'cause', we can choose the 'result'."
"Huh?" Bai Lu had been living in a state of confusion for so many days. After experiencing life and death again, she became much clearer. Now she had some understanding of these words that she couldn't understand at first.
"In the past, I only knew about things in the inner house. My father and mother hoped that I could marry into a good family and have a safe life. I thought so too. So after I came to Qiantang, I didn't know what I should do, or what I should do. What, after all, I am just a concubine, the concubine of a dandy.
Fortunately, the young master is not the young master in everyone's eyes. He has been dormant for many years before reaching his current position. "
On this point, Bai Lu was noncommittal: "Yes, but the young master is still the young master."
For Bai Lu, no matter whether Lu Mingyu was a dandy or Boss Ming, he was the young master who saved her from fire and water.
Lin Wanyu smiled calmly: "Yes, the same, I am still the same person as before, but I am not the same person as before."
"Huh? Girl, what are you talking about?" Bai Lu seemed to understand.
"On the inside, I am still the same person as before, but outside, I want to change. I want to choose a different path from my original plan."
A while ago, she had the idea of not being limited to the inner house, but she didn't find a specific way to do it. Lu Mingyu also deliberately protected her from going through the storm.
But she still experienced it. She saw the village full of refugees, she saw that there was only a wall between life and death, and she understood Lu Mingyu's forbearance and planning.
She feels like she has found the path she wants to take in the future!
Lin Wanyu, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, who was engaged to King Xuan and then her entire family was wiped out, is still there, but that is just the past.
From now on, she will be just herself, Lin Wanyu who walks side by side with Lu Mingyu.
She no longer only focuses on the hatred of genocide, because in these troubled times, not only her Lin family, but also thousands of families are being disbanded and destroyed.
What she wants to do is to clear the name of the Lin family! The purpose is to clear his father's name and not let the Lin family be labeled as a traitor forever.
But this is not easy. At least when Zhao Changyu is in power, this vision will never be realized, so the only thing that can help her complete it is...
Although she didn't want to admit it or mention that person again, the only one who could do it legitimately was Zhao Changsu who was in the north.
She was ruthless and cruel, and wanted to destroy her Lin family's enemies.
But it is also the hope of clearing the name of the Lin family.
So, she asked Shi Shui to inquire about Lu Mingyu, who had been squatting for several days, from time to time, but all she received was "Don't worry, wait for me."
After getting the tenth identical letter, Lin Wanyu finally couldn't help it anymore: I want to walk with you, not hide behind your back!
"Where is the young master, take me there." Lin Wanyu ordered the people around her for the first time, her expression serious, no longer her usual gentle and talkative appearance, which directly shocked Shi Shui, who had not yet figured out her temperament.
After a brief thought, Shi Shui took the order and took Lin Wanyu to Yunxiaofang.
Lu Mingyu has been running between the yamen and the dungeon in the past few days, helping the prefect interrogate the Xue family and digging up many old stories to ensure that Xue Dingmao cannot turn over.
The reason why Shi Shui brought Lin Wanyu to Yunxiaofang was to meet Lady Yunxi.
"I'm talking about taking me to see Lu Mingyu." Lin Yunyu didn't want to show off her temper, but the person under her control was not obedient at all, so she sat in the carriage and refused to get out of the carriage.
Shi Shui explained: "I see that the young master has never mentioned what he is doing in the house. The girl doesn't know anything at this moment. Why don't you go in and meet Madam Yunxi and get to know another side of the young master?"
"The other side?" Lin Wanyu really wanted to know, but Lu Mingyu avoided her every time, so she had no way of understanding, but...
"Ms. Yunxi knows? Can she tell me?" Lin Yunyu knew her. The last time she punished Lu Langchen, she still troubled Madam Yunxi. At that time, she only thought it was because Lu Mingyu used money. Now, listening to Shi Shui, This lady Yunxi is the one who is traveling with Lu Mingyu.
Suppressing the sourness in her heart, Lin Wanyu followed Shi Shui into Yunxiaofang.
When Lin Wanyu walked in, she realized that Yunxiaofang was a gambling house. She couldn't help but remember that Chu Yao once said that Lu Shengming was addicted to gambling. It seemed that this was probably Lu Mingyu's doing.
It turns out that Lu Mingyu has done a lot, far more than she imagined.
As soon as Mrs. Yun Xi heard that Lu Mingyu's man had arrived, she immediately came out to greet her with a smile. She took Lin Wanyu's hand affectionately and called her sister: "I have heard of my sister for a long time, but I have never seen her in person. Today, my sister is here. I will treat you well!"
After saying that, she pulled Lin Wanyu upstairs. When she walked to the innermost private room, she found someone inside. Madam Yunxi said to the maid guarding the door: "I want to use this place. You go and tell the guests inside that today's order is no."
ah?
Do you have to chase away guests just because she’s here?
Lin Wanyu was surprised and hurriedly tried to persuade her: "No, I'm not here to affect your business. Any private room will do."
But Yun Xi insisted: "This is the room that the young master is used to. He only uses it to entertain guests recently when he comes rarely. Originally, he came to drive people away. Naturally, my sister is as important as the young master."
Lin Wanyu couldn't refuse what he said, so she could only watch the guests inside walk out with depressed expressions, and then the maids swarmed in and cleaned up as quickly as possible.
"Sister, please."
Lin Wanyu was pulled in and looked around. It was indeed very similar to the furnishing style of Lu Mingyu's room, so she did not doubt that he was there and sat down with peace of mind.
Madam Yunxi is very considerate. From refreshments to elegant music, she arranges everything to make people feel comfortable and slowly relax.
"Thank you Madam Yunxi for your hospitality." Lin Wanyu noticed that Madam Yunxi had something special.
"What's the matter? It must be very hard for my sister to be by the young master's side."
Test? Lin Wanyu smiled: "It's not hard at all. I just take care of the inner house and take care of the accounts."
She said it calmly, but to Mrs. Yun Xi's ears, these were things done by the mistress of the house. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, Lin Wanyu could still see the loneliness in her eyes.
"Does Madam Yunxi have a sweetheart?"
Lin Wanyu's question was so abrupt that Mrs. Yun Xi was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "I work hard for the young master, so of course I put him first."
I see.
As a woman, Lin Wanyu didn't think Madam Yun Xi's words were a joke or anything else. She was serious.
"How long has Madam Yunxi been with the young master?" Lin Wanyu smiled back and looked directly at him.
"It's been ten years. I was rescued by the young master."
"..."
Why is this guy so good at saving people? He saves them everywhere, either keeping them for use or putting them in the backyard.
Is he the reincarnation of Buddha?
For the first time, Lin Wanyu was speechless at Lu Mingyu's compassion, but she knew it was only for Lady Yunxi.
"He does know how to save people." Lin Wanyu said whatever came to mind, not bothering to hide it, and also stated the purpose of her visit: "I want to know more about Lu Mingyu's past, and I hope Madam Yunxi can tell me."
The smoke between women, even if she doesn't want to, but as long as she has the intention, it will more or less reveal its thorns, so why not just skip this part of the futility and compromise.
Seeing that Lin Wanyu was so straightforward and even called the young master by his first name, Mrs. Yun Xi no longer hesitated: "What do you want to know, sister?"
"When did he start planning?" Lin Wanyu originally thought that he did it after he became an adult, but judging from his recent performance, this was not something he had done for three to five years.
"Eight years old." Mrs. Yun Xi answered simply, but she also surprised Lin Wanyu.
Eight years old, an eight-year-old boy, has already started planning for the future?
In Lin Wanyu's understanding, even in the royal family, the eight-year-old prince has just begun to be instilled with some concepts of rights. Even a well-protected prince like Zhao Changsu only slowly became involved in the turmoil after he was ten years old. middle.
Lu Mingyu was far more thoughtful than she had ever known.
Lin Wanyu took a sip of tea and continued to ask: "How did he do it?"
"The young master is not taken seriously at home, but he still has to go to school, so he makes time for it. In the eyes of others, he skips classes and is ignorant and incompetent. Only then did I get to know Gao Tong and Di Wuji..."
Three young people with similar personalities, from the initial quarrel to sympathy, Mrs. Yunxi told Lin Wanyu everything she knew in detail.
This said, it was said that it was night.
Shi Shui brought Lin Wanyu to Yunxiaofang to leave a message for Lu Mingyu.
After he finished his work, he came straight over.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he missed her so much. When Shi Shui said that Lin Wanyu came here to learn about his past, his heart moved and his steps moved faster.
Pushing open the door of the private room, Lu Mingyu saw Lin Wanyu at a glance.
"The young master is here." Mrs. Yun Xi stood up and saluted, but Lu Mingyu's eyes were only on Lin Wanyu.
When he got closer, he saw tears on Lin Wanyu's face. He looked at her and said softly, "Go home."
"Yes." Lin Wanyu nodded meekly. After saying goodbye to Mrs. Yun Xi, Lu Mingyu hugged her in his cloak and started on the way home.
In the carriage, Lin Wanyu looked at him and couldn't take his eyes away. After not seeing him for a few days, he had gone through many vicissitudes of life. Although he was not unshaven, his skin was much rougher.
"You must not have made good use of the cream I gave you." Lin Wanyu felt sorry for him, but she blamed him and even hit him.
Lu Mingyu grabbed her little hand, put it on her chest and said affectionately: "Waiting for you to apply it for me."
"You are lazy." Lin Wanyu took out the cream she brought with her and applied it to Lu Mingyu bit by bit, first on her cheeks, then on the back of her hands, covering all the exposed skin.
Her careful and patient look fell in Lu Mingyu's eyes, making him want to hold her in his arms and carve this feeling into his bones.
"I'm sorry, I've been so busy these days." Lu Mingyu apologized, becoming more and more smooth.
"I know, is everything going well?" Lin Wanyu leaned in his arms, "How is Pei Rou and Xue Nan?"
Xue Nan is a girl from the Xue family. Although the misdeeds of the master's family do not affect the female family members, they are treated as true friends after all, and Lin Wanyu is a little worried about her.
There is also Li Peirou, who was kidnapped last time and I don’t know what will happen next.
"It's okay, but you came to Yunxiaofang to inquire about me? Do you want to know me so much?" Lu Mingyu looked at her with a smile, as tender as water, as if he wanted to swallow her up.
"No one told you to tell me, so I had to ask the people close to you." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Wanyu wanted to slap herself in the mouth.
what happened? The last two times I spoke, there was always a sour taste.
Lin Wanyu felt like she was going crazy!
