Chapter 81
The grandparents and grandsons of the Meng family did not know Liu Heng, and the second wife had only heard of Liu Heng's reputation and had never seen it with her own eyes. However, Liu Heng shook the folding fan while staring at Chen Jiao without any concealment. They all saw it.
Chen Jiao avoided behind her aunt.
The second wife only thought that Liu Heng was from a playboy. Although she was angry, her niece became more and more embarrassed. She could only pretend that she didn't see it, and asked Mrs. Meng to get on the boat first with a smile.
Old Mrs. Meng glanced at Liu Heng and was helped by her grandson on board.
The bamboo curtains on both sides of the painting boat were rolled up, and the wind blew from one side, which was cool and pleasant. However, as soon as the boatman pushed the boat away from the lake shore, the four people sitting by the window discovered that the playboy's boat had set off, and it was close to the ship hired by the Meng family, and the two ships were only about three feet apart.
Liu Heng leaned against the seat and stared at Chen Jiao unscrupulously through the two boat windows.
Chen Jiao sat next to her aunt, lowered her eyes and clenched her hands.
The second wife winked at her eldest maid.
The maid quickly walked to the bow of the boat and whispered a few words to the boatman. When the boatman heard that there was a distinguished guest from the Marquis of Pingxi, he hurried to the bow of the boat near the other end of the ship, and whispered to the peers who were taking the boat on the opposite side, "I am carrying the second wife of the Marquis of Pingxi, please hold on quickly!"
When the boatman here heard this, he immediately went to discuss with Liu Heng's servant. He felt that Liu Heng's servant should also be afraid of Pingxi Hou Mansion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the boatman finished speaking with a smile, Liu Heng's servant jumped up, kicked the boatman in the chest, and shouted sternly: "Dog thing without eyes, do you know the Qin Prince's Mansion? Our master is the second master of the prince's mansion. If you ask you to take a boat, you can take a boat well and stop making noise!"
The unlucky boatman got up in a mess, not daring to say a word anymore, climbed out of the boat tent, and followed Liu Heng's previous instructions and chased the Meng family's ship tightly.
"This wind makes me feel a headache. Put the curtain down." The second lady rubbed her forehead and told the maid.
The maid hurriedly put down the bamboo curtain, blocking Liu Heng's frivolous peeping across from him.
Old Mrs. Meng originally wanted to say a few words to the second wife that the playboy was not educated. After Liu Heng claimed his identity, she swallowed the words back. Mr. Meng Qi was so angry that he noticed that Liu Heng was coveting Chen Jiao. He also wanted to scold him. At this moment, he also pursed his lips and looked at Chen Jiao with a complicated mood.
The awkward silence has not been broken yet, and the woman's gentle singing suddenly came from the boat next door, singing a story about a man complaining that he had previously made a secret love for his lifelong daughter.
Chen Jiao could no longer maintain her expression, her face was pale, and her whole body was trembling.
She had long heard of many lawless deeds of Liu Heng. Over the past year, she rejected the invitations from Miss Six several times. Later, Miss Six simply stopped inviting her. Chen Jiao thought that Liu Heng, who had only met twice, had forgotten her. Unexpectedly, she went on a blind date with someone today, and Liu Heng actually came to make a fuss regardless of his identity.
Who dares to provoke a playboy from the royal family? Ordinary people dare not, and the most respected aristocratic family dare not take risks. Even if Mrs. Meng believes that there is no affair between her and Liu Heng, and Liu Heng is pestering her like this, will Mrs. Meng dare to let her grandson marry a granddaughter-in-law who may cause countless troubles to come home?
The second wife was more angry than Chen Jiao, but the more she explained this kind of thing, the more she seemed to cover it up.
The second wife only knew that there was no need to continue the lake tour today.
"Old lady, I..."
Just as the second wife was about to find an excuse to end the farce, the woman's singing in the boat next door suddenly turned into a sharp scream. Then, the angry scolding of servant Liu Heng sounded again: "Bold, in broad daylight, who dares to assassinate my second master!"
assassinate?
The second lady was startled and couldn't help looking out through the gaps in the bamboo curtain, but the bamboo curtain was too dense and could only see bright light.
"It turns out that it is the second master, who is indifferent to respect. Lu thought that someone's playboy was disturbing me, so he took action after a moment of anger."
Someone replied on the shore, and the voice was clear and calm, very familiar.
Chen Jiao subconsciously looked at the second wife. Of course, the second wife could tell the voice of her nephew, and her maid ran in happily and said happily: "Madam, it's the prince."
The second wife immediately led Chen Jiao out of the tent.
At this time, the painting boat was not far from the shore. Chen Jiao stepped over the threshold and raised her head. When she saw Lu Yu standing by the lake in white, the breeze blew his clothes, the man's face was cold and arrogant as an immortal.
Seeing the second wife, Lu Yu turned his gaze over and said respectfully: "There is a letter coming in the capital. My grandmother ordered me to pick up my aunt and my cousin back home."
The second wife was worried that there was no good reason, so she immediately ordered the boatman to return to the shore after hearing this, and then turned to the old lady Meng who was following her and said, "If you have something to do for a while, you can only let the old lady down and be kind."
Old Mrs. Meng smiled and said, "Madam, just go and do your business."
The second wife no longer had hope for this marriage, so she no longer politely treated Mrs. Meng. As soon as the boat docked, she nodded to Lu Yu and led Chen Jiao into the carriage.
Lu Yu didn't even look at Liu Heng's ship who was still there, and turned around and followed.
On the boat, Liu Heng stared at the sharp dagger pierced on the boat board, and still shook the folding fan in his hand, but his eyes became gloomy.
Lu Yu, so brave!
After getting on the carriage, Chen Jiao could no longer help and buried it in her aunt's arms.
The second wife's eyes turned red, and she hugged her niece and scolded hard: "A bastard who bullies others with power!"
"Auntie, I want to go back to Suzhou."
After two quarters of an hour, Chen Jiao finally suppressed her anger and helplessness. After thinking about it, she decided to return to Suzhou. Before, she only treated Lu Huan as a trouble, thinking that leaving Pingxi Marquis Mansion would save her worries. Unexpectedly, there was still a lawless person. With Liu Heng, no one in the northwest would dare to marry her, so it would be better to go back to Suzhou.
The biological father in this life is devoted to selling his daughter to seek honor, but that is because Chen Jiao is far away from her uncle and aunt and neglects contact. When she goes back, she asks her uncle to send her two guards. She pretends to be a tiger. It should be able to shock her biological father and make him dare not marry her out casually. Chen Jiao doesn't believe it anymore, and Liu Heng can still chase her to Suzhou.
Their biological daughter is married, and now the second wife regards her niece as her second daughter. She knows that Liangzhou is not a place for her niece to live in, but she is worried about sending her niece back to the hypocritical prefect Su. After pondering for a moment, the second wife gritted her teeth and said, "Jiaojiao, don't be anxious. When I go home, I will discuss with your uncle to see if I can do a job in another place next year. When my uncle and aunt will take you to take office together."
The second wife had long wanted to let her husband go out. The husband had not moved due to the advice of the Marquis and elder brother. Now that his niece is bullied, the second wife wants to see how her husband will choose. This is the only bloodline left by his biological sister in the world.
The mother and the mother discussed it. The second wife remembered something, opened the curtains, and asked her nephew who was riding a horse worriedly: "Yunya, why did you just say you were assassinating?"
When Lu Yu looked over, the first thing he saw was Chen Jiao sitting sideways towards him. Her hair was a little messy and her face was pale and fragile.
Lu Yu only regretted that he had delayed it for too long, otherwise he would have said it long ago, and she would not have suffered the humiliation of today.
"I threw a dagger into his boat." Lu Yu said unconsciously when approaching the carriage.
The second wife took a breath of air conditioning, and Chen Jiao next to her was also shocked.
"Don't worry, my aunt, the dagger did not hurt anyone, it would be useless for him to sue the capital." Of course, Lu Yu would not leave any handle for Liu Heng.
The nephew is very sensible, and the second wife is much calmer and said strangely: "Who will come from the letter in the capital?"
When Lu Yu heard this, he glanced at Chen Jiao in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and said, "No letter was sent. I just walked to the lake and happened to meet the other party bullying others. He took action in anger."
The second lady understood. Although she was a little confused that her nephew had come to visit the lake so by chance, she was still very pleased that her nephew rescued them.
She lowered the curtains.
Lu Yu seemed to be able to see her pale face and clenched the reins.
The carriage was parked outside the Marquis's Mansion. After the second wife and Chen Jiao got out of the car, Lu Yu walked to the second wife and said, "I'll take my aunt back to the room."
The second wife was flattered. Why is the eldest nephew so filial today?
Chen Jiao walked on the other side of her aunt, always feeling something strange, but she couldn't explain it clearly.
When he arrived at the second room, the second wife would definitely invite Lu Yu to have tea and be kind. Chen Jiao bowed and was about to step down, but Lu Yu suddenly stood up and looked at her and said, "Cousin, stay, I have something to ask you."
Chen Jiao stood there in a daze.
The second wife looked at the two children in a daze.
Lu Yu bowed to her and said sincerely: "I'll ask my aunt to help you."
The second lady stayed for a while. Maybe the eldest nephew was too steady. She subconsciously led the maid back to the yard. There was a beauty in the corridor. The second lady walked to the beauty, looking at the door of the hall diagonally opposite, and recalling the performance of the eldest nephew today, the second lady suddenly had a guess, could it be...
In the hall, Chen Jiao asked Lu Yu in confusion: "What's the matter with my cousin?"
When the blind date was so bad, she was in a bad mood and her face was still pale. It was this paleness that made Lu Yu firmly determined.
"Cousin, my cousin is not talented and wants to marry you, do you want to?" Lu Yu asked with a solemn expression on his face.
Chen Jiao opened her mouth in shock.
Lu Yu’s personal mention is more straightforward and concise than his younger brother Lu Huan.
The problem is that Chen Jiao didn't realize that Lu Yu had that kind of thought about her. Looking back on the years she came to the Hou Mansion, not counting the contact between Lu Wan last year because of Lu Wan's incident, there are only a few things she said to Lu Yu, right?
"You, how could you..."
She stuttered, but Lu Yu understood what she was going to ask, his heart was out of control, his face was as cold as ever, and he said truthfully: "Last year on the boat, my cousin was in a coma for a while. I was worried that you would find a short-sighted view, so I broke into the door..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jiao's face turned red, the kind that was so red that it was about to drip blood.
"I'm sorry." Lu Yu lowered his eyes and apologized.
Chen Jiao's mind was blank. She, like that, was actually seen by Lu Yu!
