Chapter 39
Coming out of the palace gate, Xie Zhan saw Lu Songli and was about to walk towards her when he was stopped by Zhao Yutan's maid Hongdou, "Mr. Xie, our eldest lady is unconscious. Can you please send our eldest lady home? Mansion?"
"Wait a moment."
When Lu Songli noticed Xie Zhan walking towards her, she turned her head, turned around and quickly got on the carriage, "Let's go." Looking at Xie Zhan's appearance, it was obvious that he had something to say to her, but no matter what he wanted to say , she didn’t even want to hear it.
If the Xie family had been firm from the beginning and not indulged in ambiguity, the Zhao family would have had no chance to take advantage of it, and so many things would not have happened. Xie Zhan's current wavering is just that after weighing the pros and cons, he feels that it is not bad to maintain the original engagement. She won't choose such a person. If she leaves her back to such a person, she might be sold one day without even knowing it.
After Lu Songli boarded the carriage, the Lu family's carriage sped away as if it was being chased by something.
Xie Zhan was speechless. Qin Sheng looked at this scene, glanced at Xie Zhan, then got on his horse and chased after him.
嘘嘚——嘚嘚——
The sound of horses galloping on the street was particularly clear because it was night time.
"Second Miss, this is Mr. Qin."
Mo Bing probed his head and saw clearly the person riding behind him using the moonlight, starlight and the light of the torch. Mr. Qin has been following them not far or near since they left the palace.
Lu Songli lay lazily, "Don't worry about him."
When they returned to the Lu family gate, the concierge opened the door and was unloading the threshold. Lu Songli was on the carriage and had no intention of getting off. It's late autumn, and the wind is very strong at night. It's okay to go out and blow the wind.
Qin Shengce immediately stepped forward, "Wait a minute -"
Mo Bing took the lead in lifting the curtain of the carriage and came out. Qin Sheng didn't even look at her, his eyes fell directly on the curtain of the carriage, as if he could see the people inside through the thick curtain.
"Lu Songli, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Lu Songli:? ? ?
Lu Songli thought about it, and reluctantly came out because in the original work, the Qin family won the final victory and could not be offended.
As soon as she got out of the carriage, she felt that the cold wind was too unfriendly. She couldn't help but close her cloak, "Qin Sheng, is something okay?" Lu Songli noticed that Qin Sheng had been following them from Changle Palace. He spoke slowly, as if he had something to say.
Qin Sheng moved two steps calmly, and Lu Songli felt that the wind from the north was a little lighter.
"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
Qin Sheng gritted his teeth and said quickly, "Well, after you break up with the Xie family, you can marry into the Qin family."
Lu Songli raised her eyebrows, did he understand her? In Changle Palace just now, she didn't show any intention of breaking off the engagement with the Xie family, right? On the contrary, she still looked like she would fight with Zhao Yutan to the end and never let go. How did he figure out her plan to break off the engagement with the Xie family? Can she be said to be worthy of the young general who can command thousands of troops in the original work? She is indeed very smart.
After Qin Sheng said those words, his angular handsome face turned red, and it was difficult to see clearly in the night. But Qin Sheng could feel his face getting hot.
Lu Songli suddenly had the bad taste of teasing him, "If you marry into the Qin family, who will you marry? Your eldest brother?"
His eyes widened for a moment, "Are you attracted to my eldest brother?" Then he suddenly became arrogant, "You are discerning, but give up, there is no way my eldest brother will marry you."
Then he added, "My eldest brother has already made up his mind about the candidate for his step-sister-in-law, so just give up."
Qin Sheng was both proud and suffocated in his heart. He had respected his elder brother very much since he was a child. His father was stationed at the border all year round. He was ten years younger than his elder brother. It could be said that he was raised by his elder brother. In his heart, his eldest brother Qin Heng is a very outstanding man. Even if she is married for the second time, she is worthy of any woman.
The reason why I'm holding my breath is naturally because of Lu Songli. Damn it, my eldest brother is forcing me to marry you, but you want to be my sister-in-law. Are you suitable?
Lu Songli chuckled and said, "I'm just kidding you." Qin Heng was about to marry his step-brother, and she had no relationship with him. She didn't have to do anything with him, so there was no need to interfere.
When she smiled, her whole face looked extremely beautiful.
"Do you like me?" Lu Songli was in a good mood at this moment. The white moonlight shone on the young man not far away, as if covering him with a hazy and mysterious white gauze.
"you you--"
How could he forget that this woman is bold and hateful! Why did you feel sorry for her when you were in Changle Palace just now? How pitiful!
He wanted to turn around and leave, but when he saw the teasing look in her eyes, he stopped, and even took two steps forward, approaching her. He even lowered his head slightly, looked directly at her, and said not to be outdone, " Yes, I like you, how about it?"
Lu Songli was surprised by the boy's stubbornness and focused gaze.
Lu Songli stretched out her hand, pushed his head away, and scolded with a smile, "Okay, go back. I appreciate your kindness. Your hair has not even grown, so why do you like it?"
After saying that, she ignored Qin Sheng, turned around, and strode into the door of her house, walking briskly, and her cloak swirled in a nice arc when she turned around.
Qin Sheng stood in the cold wind, looking at the door of the Lu family. After Lu Songli and others had completely entered, he slowly closed it and smiled suddenly. He turned around and mounted his horse. The horse beneath him seemed to sense his light mood and started running wildly.
As the door closed, the smile on Lu Songli's face still did not disappear.
After dealing with him several times, Lu Songli knew that he was an arrogant young man. He was born into a family of generals, but he grew up under the protection of his father and brother. He was not the young general in the original novel who was good at fighting and was so frightened that foreigners begged for mercy.
Arrogant people are all ducks, and they are all tough-talking. Even if they like someone, they will not take the initiative to tell them.
He was able to stop himself from saying what he just said after sending her back because he made the decision after seeing her in a worrying situation. This decision stemmed from his sense of responsibility and the kindness in his heart. In addition, Lu Songli felt that he had a good impression of her, at least not against her.
She was not surprised at all. She was so beautiful and smart, how could he not like her? Lu Songli was used to men admiring and liking her in her previous life. She doesn't think there's anything wrong with thinking this way. It's a good thing to admit her own excellence, but also understand her own shortcomings, have a clear understanding of herself, and not be arrogant or belittle oneself.
From the current point of view, Qin Sheng is a very good person, but there are many excellent people in this world, so it doesn't mean that she has to marry, right? And don't forget, in the original work, the Qin family will be exiled for crimes, just half a year later. A gentleman would not build a dangerous wall, so she would not do that kind of thing, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and going to the tiger mountains.
She is a very realistic person. She spent so many brain cells trying to save her father before. The Qin family's calamity is probably not that easy to handle. She'd better not go into this muddy water, there's no need for her to.
At this time, Lu Songli would never have imagined that the slap in the face would come so quickly.
