Chapter 58 You are very good, very good

Lu Jingchen did not ask any more questions. The two walked together on the mountain path. Because Guo Yumei had just cleared the road, there were no branches blocking the way. The journey was smooth.

In the mountains, the moon seemed to come out very early. Before the sun went down completely, it could not wait to hang on the treetops.

The two walked home one after the other, passing through a small bamboo forest. The wind rustled the bamboo leaves. There were a few women who had not returned home in the fields outside the bamboo forest. They were picking sweet potato leaves and chatting.

Xia Qingli didn't care what they said at first, but when her own name came into her ears, she slowed down her pace unconsciously.

"The little girl from the Xia family is back, have you seen her?"

"Of course I saw her, she came back with the second son of the Lu family."

"You know what, the second son of the Lu family never had any warmth in his body when he was young, and he's still the same when he grows up, his face is as cold as if it's been frosted! He never smiles."

"That's all because of his father's affairs. In my opinion, Su Hui is also a fool. She was a sent-down youth, pretty, and could have found a man anywhere in the countryside, but she chose a stinky old man with a child."

"How can she be a fool? Didn't Lu Baichuan finally take off his hat and go back to the city? She's smart, and now she's following Lu Baichuan, and I don't know how good her life is." "

Bullshit! I heard she died a long time ago!"

"Ah! Dead? Well, she is a poor person. She has suffered a lot following Lu Baichuan, but she has not enjoyed any blessings."

"I think it is probably her second son's fault. Look at his cold face. It is scary. People like him always bring disaster."

Xia Qingli listened to these words behind the bamboo forest. Her emotions surged and she was even angrier than Lu Jingzhe.

Those injustices were already unfortunate, and now they have to become the topic of conversation for others. They don't know how foolish and vicious the speculations and conclusions they casually say are.

"I'll go tell them to stop talking." Xia Qingxi, who was always gentle, heard this, and her little face was wrinkled with anger. She couldn't help but turn around and walk out.

Before she could move, a big and strong hand reached out and grabbed her arm, stopping her from taking the next step.

Xia Qingxi looked at Lu Jingchen in confusion, but saw that his face was calm and his expression was not disturbed at all, as if he was not affected by those words at all. He only heard him utter two words in a deep voice:

"No need." Xia Qingxi was

angry and distressed in her heart, and blurted out:

"Why do they say that about you and your mother?"

Lu Jingchen's expression was slightly moved by Xia Qingxi's protection, but he did not let go, and uttered a sentence in a deep voice.

"There's no point in arguing."

Xia Qingying knew that he couldn't help but care. His clenched fist had already betrayed him. That was the relative he found hardest to give up and wanted to protect the most!

He was just enduring and didn't want to argue with these ignorant country women.

Xia Qingying gradually calmed down. She knew that if things got out of hand, it would only embarrass Lu Jingzhen, so she didn't insist on finding them to reason.

Seeing that she had calmed down a lot, Lu Jingzhen was about to let go of her arm, but in the next second, her hand was suddenly held by her.

Her hand was very small, and it seemed that she used a lot of strength to cover the back of his hand. He could feel her five fingers continuing to exert force, as if she wanted to give himself some strength.

The scorching heat from her palm spread out like warm spring water. His indifferent eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He hesitated for a moment and did not pull his hand back.

Xia Qingqing was devout at the moment, without any distractions. She didn't know how to comfort him just now, so she held his hand in a hurry, wanting to give him some warmth and strength, to make him feel that this world is not all malicious.

Her eyes were clear and bright, she looked at him tenderly, and said firmly:

"They are talking nonsense, about mutual incompetence, all feudal dregs. You are very good, very, very good, so don't pay attention to what they say."

"Yeah." Lu responded in surprise, with tenderness and tenderness hidden in his eyes, and whispered a word: "Okay."

Xia Qingli then noticed that she was still holding his hand, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. In order to cover up, she could only smile, and then withdrew her hand with an embarrassed smile.

Secretly observing Lu Jingzhen, she found that he didn't seem to care and didn't mean to blame her, so she felt relieved. The two were about to continue walking when they heard the village women continue chatting:

"Hey, I remember that the one who was engaged to the girl from the Xia family was the eldest son of the Lu family? How come it suddenly became the second son?"

"Yes, if it were in the city, there would be no distinction between these. After all, they are brothers, and it doesn't matter who they marry."

"How can there be no distinction? At that time, it was because the girl's father died saving the eldest son of the Lu family, so this marriage was arranged. The others are from the city, and she is a country girl, how can she choose who to marry!"

"Yes, she should marry the eldest son, so why is she marrying the second son now?"

"I think it's likely that the girl took the initiative to seduce the second brother, or used some dishonorable means..."

Although these aunts were talkative, their guesses were really accurate!

Xia Qingxu had just finished comforting Lu Jingxie, but she didn't expect that the anger would be directed at herself in an instant. She just showed a bitter smile pretending to be indifferent, stopped listening, and walked forward quickly.

The two walked out of the bamboo forest. Xia Qingxu suddenly heard Lu Jingxie beside her, and he consciously "coughed". Several women heard the movement and immediately shut up and looked over here.

Xia Qingxu walked in front, straightening her back. She would not show her cowardice in front of these talkative women. As she was walking, a loose military uniform was draped over her shoulders.

This action naturally reminded her of the scene when they first met. When she was most embarrassed and helpless, he also wrapped her in a large piece of clothing and helped her solve the dilemma silently.

However, unlike the simple help last time, this time it was more like protection.

"It's windy." He lowered his head to help her tidy up her clothes and said, "Don't catch a cold."

His voice was cold, but deep and pleasant.

Under the gaze of everyone, he took her hand and walked forward calmly.
