Yan Ruyu lifted half of the carriage curtain and looked at Lu Jinzhi outside the carriage.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Lu Jinzhi's appearance changed drastically. His original bright robe was full of wrinkles, his hair was messy, his face was gloomy, and there was a dried blood stain on his forehead.
It was not just the Duke's Mansion that experienced drastic changes, Lu Jinzhi also fell from the flower of the high mountain to mud.
Yan Ruyu was a little lucky.
"Don't you even recognize the handwriting on it? Or do you just don't want to admit it?"
"Yes, it was written by Qiao Yin. It can be said that this is every bit of the past years between you and Qiao Yin."
Lu Jinzhi naturally recognized Qiao Yin's handwriting, but he didn't understand why it was in Yan Ruyu's hand.
"Why is it in your hands?"
Yan Ruyu said: "Qiao Yin gave it to me. She took the initiative to find me and exchanged this album for a painting given by Xie Yu'an. Our two families originally intended to get married, and this album was helpful to me, but now it is gone. Used it. I was going to burn it, but thought maybe giving it to you would be a nice souvenir."
Yan Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little happy when she saw Lu Jinzhi's trembling hands and tense forehead bones.
Even Qiao Yin doesn't pamper him anymore, why should she pamper him?
Lu Jinzhi had wasted her time several times, and she was already dissatisfied.
"That's wrong. It shouldn't be a memorial, it should be a lesson."
"Lu Jinzhi, I wonder if Qiao Yin has spent nearly 10 years teaching you that you can't just eat from the bowl and look at what's in the pot. Being too greedy will lead to heartburn."
Yan Ruyu dropped her words and simply left.
Lu Jinzhi held the booklet and stood there blankly.
Qiao Yin did teach him a lot, especially in the past month, and one of the biggest lessons was--
People must have their own persistence. If you just let things go, you will get nothing in the end.
Just like Qiao Yin, if he had insisted on liking her and sticking to his heart from the beginning, they would have cultivated their relationship long ago and become a couple that everyone in the capital would envy.
Lu Jinzhi looked at the book in his hand and the detailed records on it, which recorded almost everything that happened between them. Behind everything, there was Qiao Yin's speculation about his mood and preferences.
She wanted so hard to please him.
But he failed them all.
The scene of Qiao Yin and Xie Yu'an together appeared in front of Lu Jinzhi's eyes. Looking at the handwriting on the booklet, every word suddenly turned into a knife, which stuck in his mind over and over again.
"Your Majesty, I'm awake. Please go and have a look."
Lu Jinzhi was still in a daze at the gate, and Zhuye hurried out to call him.
He hid the book, calmed down his emotions, turned around and came to Lu Guogong's bed.
When Lu Guogong saw Lu Jinzhi opening his mouth, the first thing he said was: "Have you found that bitch?"
Lowly slave, Lu Yizhi.
Lu Jinzhi shook his head. Lu Yizhi had been planning for today for some time. He left without leaving a trace. He also swept away everything that the Duke's Mansion could take away, without any mercy.
Today, all the clans and clans are arguing about dividing the ancestral property.
Today's Duke's Mansion is like a crumbling and dangerous building. Under the huge frame, only a few pillars are barely supporting it, and it cannot withstand any more wind and waves.
Lu Jinzhi never thought that the Duke's Mansion would be in such a state of decline overnight. It was clear that a few days ago it was still burning oil and blooming flowers.
"You're an ignorant white-eyed wolf! You made a lot of mistakes. I shouldn't have kept this evil thing in the first place!"
Duke Lu Guo was furious, and the veins suddenly appeared on his pale face, making him look very ferocious and terrifying.
He denounced a few words angrily, and soon began to cough violently due to the surge of energy and blood.
"Dad, what happened back then..."
Lu Jinzhi wanted to ask if Lu Yizhi's bad gambling incident was true, but when the words came to his lips, he felt it was meaningless.
Lu Yizhi's revenge is the most powerful answer.
"Dad, the most important thing right now is to take good care of your health. If you keep the green hills, the Duke's Mansion will rise again. Your son will never be a fool again." Lu Jinzhi consoled him seriously.
Duke Lu Guogong suddenly grabbed Lu Jinzhi's hand, his eyes suddenly flashed with eagerness.
"Jinzhi, Jinzhi, you are the only one who can save the Duke's Palace now. You are the eldest son of the Duke's Palace. Dad has fallen. You have to support the Duke's Palace."
Lu Jinzhi also seemed to have transformed overnight, knowing that the heavy burden on his shoulders could not be shied away: "Father, what do you want your son to do? Dad, you tell me."
"Go, go and marry Qiao Yin back!" Lu Guogong shouted.
Lu Jinzhi's expression froze.
Lu Guogong urged: "Only the Qiao family can help us now, Jinzhi, she liked you so much before, if you feel aggrieved again and go back to coax her, she will definitely marry you. With Marquis Jing'an, With the marriage of the government, our Duke’s government still has a chance.”
Lu Jinzhi felt as if a huge boulder was blocking his chest, almost suffocating him.
It's too late, it's long been too late, Qiao Yin has already fallen in love with someone else.
She won't want him again.
What's more, he is so down and out.
Seeing Lu Jinzhi standing still and not responding, Lu Guogong became impatient again.
"Jinzhi, why don't you answer? Aren't you happy? Weren't you clamoring to marry that Qiao Yin?"
"Now I agree, and your father agrees. Go, go and catch Qiao Yin."
Lu Jinzhi shook his head sadly: "Qiao Yin is going to marry Xie Yu'an."
Lu Guogong became angry and shouted with wide eyes: "Isn't she not married yet? You still have a lot of opportunities. It is an indisputable fact that she stalked you in the early years. You just need to find some people to say something outside, Just say that she has been yours for a long time, will Xie Yuan still marry her? Will Xie Yuan want to be a ruined woman? "
Lu Jinzhi's eyes dimmed, as if he had been thinking deeply. After a long time, he raised his head and said to Lu Guogong: "Father, you can rest in peace and recuperate. My son will take care of other things."
Lu Guogong saw that his eyes finally had the consciousness that a prince should have, and felt relieved with joy.
……
"Bizhu, please run over and help me deliver these teas to the general's mansion."
Qiao Yin handed the prepared tea to Bizhu, and Bizhu took the things and took a car to the general's mansion.
Unexpectedly, the carriage could not move while it was still at the entrance of the alley, because the entire alley was blocked. The carriages were carrying boxes one after another, and were moving one by one to the general's mansion.
"Be careful! Be careful!"
"Be gentle, be gentle, but don't touch it."
Wangshan stood at the gate and commanded with a loud voice, but the more he shouted, the more clumsy the people below him became.
One of the boys impatiently loosened the ropes on the carriage, and the box on top was about to slide down.
"Catch! Catch!"
Wangshan's heart was about to burst out of his chest. Do you know what kind of treasures are inside? Even if he smashed one, he could not afford to pay it back even if he had been a bodyguard for ten lifetimes.
He has no money, and his wife, who has been saving for several years, is gone.
Wangshan rushed over and held up the slipped box with both hands.
But the box was lighter than he expected. Just as he was wondering, his hands were empty.
The box actually returned to the carriage automatically.
"Where are you moving things? Do you need my help?"
Bi Zhu was holding a bamboo basket in one hand and a large wooden box that was bigger than her in the other hand. She pushed the box back to its original place with a gentle push.
Although he had seen it before, Wangshan couldn't help but want to exclaim every time -
too! ox! Got it!
