Chapter 107 Lu Xingzhi, Confession Bureau
When the steward of the Lu Mansion arrived at the study, he saw that his own master was still busy with official business, so he couldn't help but slow down his pace.
"Has anyone come to the study while I was away?" Lu Xingzhi suddenly looked up and asked.
"No one has been here." The steward said this at first, but suddenly he remembered that Miss Ning Si had come to visit the Madam when she was ill a while ago, so he changed his words and said, "Miss Ning Si did come to the study to look for books when she came to visit the Madam."
Lu Xingzhi withdrew his gaze, still busy with the work at hand, and just responded casually.
When Ningfu saw Lu Xing, she was sitting in the garden, admiring the small portrait that Lu Xingzhi had painted for her. She was shy in the painting, but indescribably beautiful and pretty. She must be happy, which made her look particularly lively.
"Fourth Miss." Lu Xingzhi's eyes passed over the portrait.
He had been in the Duke's Mansion for a while. He first visited Old Madam Ning and then came to see her.
"Is Mr. Lu feeling better now?" Ning Fu asked with a smile, knowing the answer. In fact, she had known for a long time that he had not stayed in his hometown He County for more than a few days.
Lu Xingzhi paused, but did not hide it from her: "I did not deliberately deceive the fourth lady."
Nymph stared at the portrait for a while, then asked him sideways, "Is it beautiful?"
Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips, with a slightly complicated look in his eyes.
Originally, he did not think that Fourth Miss Ning was beautiful enough to make him stop and stare, but when she was wearing a wedding dress that day, it made his heart beat faster.
"I had forgotten about my marriage, but this painting by Master Lu reminded me of a lot of things." Ning Fu said as she recalled, "It's a pity that I didn't marry a satisfactory husband. But in my previous life, I didn't even know there was such a person as Master Lu. I didn't expect that Master Lu would also be at my wedding banquet."
This is a direct reference to the past life.
Nymph felt somewhat delighted in her heart, as if she had found someone like her, and that she was no longer alone.
Lu Xingzhi's Adam's apple rolled, and he said, "I was indeed at the fourth lady's wedding banquet."
Ning Fu thought for a moment and said, "I had suspected that you were the prince." The only one who knew that she liked wood carvings with floral and fruity smells was Zong Si. And it seemed that it was only Zong Si who painted her so vividly on their wedding day. However, Lu Xingzhi's selfless look was too unlike Zong Si, so she gave up the idea.
What's more, although he worked for Prince Xuan's Palace, he was not too close to the people in the palace.
Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment before saying, "I am just the prince's staff."
"Then why did you describe my appearance when I got married? And I only asked Zong Si for the matter of the silver pear wood. How did Mr. Lu know about it?" Ning Fu asked.
"When we got married, I served the prince. As for the silver pear wood, the prince sent me to look for it in the previous life."
In his previous life, Zong Si had a close minister whom he valued very much, and that was him.
Ning Fu asked: "How did Master Lu die in his previous life?"
Now she can talk about the topic of life and death with an optimistic attitude.
Lu Xingzhi did not answer this question.
Perhaps it was a little difficult to say, so Nymph stopped asking this question and said, "What happened to the palace after I died?"
"Fourth Miss, do you want to ask about the prince?" Lu Xingzhi looked at her and said.
Nymph hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who is his second wife?"
"The prince has not remarried. He has been in mourning since the fourth lady passed away." Lu Xingzhi said.
"You didn't see him remarry before you passed away, did you?" Nymph asked, "What about my mother?"
Lu Xingzhi didn't know how to start, and his hands hanging by his sides couldn't help but clench a little.
Ningfu understood what he meant and felt a little sad for a moment. Her mother lost her brother and then she herself, so naturally her mother had a bad ending. Even though she lived to this life, she couldn't bear to see her mother in the previous life suffer any injustice.
After a long pause, she said, "Master Lu went to Northern Qi under the name of the old man this time. Is it because of the grain and grass issue in the north that the prince needs in advance? But I don't know why Master Lu didn't tell the prince about the war in the north, the murder of King Xuan, and the grain and grass case?"
"I cannot take the initiative to mention the events of the previous life to the prince, so I can only prepare in advance. I knew that the prince was planning to go to Northern Qi, so I went to inquire for him in advance. That's why the prince found a buyer in this life, half a month earlier than in the previous life, and could transport food and fodder one more time." Lu Xingzhi said.
If we transport one more load of food and fodder, that would be ten carts, and perhaps there would be no need to investigate the corruption case any more.
"When my father went to Liangzhou, Mr. Lu went there early. Was it also to make it easier for my father to do things in Liangzhou in the future?" Ning Fu thought of her father again.
Lu Xingzhi did not deny it: "It's also for promotion."
Ning Fu was very grateful for this: "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Fourth Miss, you don't have to thank me. In the last life, you saved my life. Whatever I do for you is my duty." Lu Xingzhi's voice became much lighter when he said this. "Fourth Miss, you don't have to ask any more questions. I like you, but I have never thought of possessing you. If you can live a safe, smooth and happy life, no matter who you are with, I will be happy to see it happen."
Ning Fu, however, felt a little embarrassed because of his words "I like you", and her heart beat faster. She just thought he was a serious man, and she couldn't tell that he had been secretly in love with his boss's wife in his previous life.
But he was a sensible person and had never disturbed her in his previous life.
She was also somewhat moved. The love that was so thoughtful of her and only wanted her to be well made her feel a little warm.
Nymph thought for a moment and said, "I don't want to go down the same old path again. Since I haven't felt happy, I won't take risks again in this life. Apart from his appearance and status, the prince is actually not as good as many men. Now that I think about it, I liked him in my last life, but I only liked his external advantages. I was attracted by his handsomeness and power, but I didn't even know him."
It's just that everyone said he was a good son-in-law and so many people wanted to marry him, so she also paid attention to him. After all, who doesn't want to fight for the best?
But now she felt that it was just her one-sided fantasy about him. She had invested too much emotion in him, so naturally her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness were all affected by him. How could she really like him when she didn't even know his background?
Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything.
Because both of them were reborn, Ning Fu and Lu Xingzhi became more closely connected.
In addition, King Xuan is still in the capital, so it is still lively.
Ning Fu had lunch at Lu's house and then remembered something. She said to Lu Xingzhi, "I told the prince that I have another husband, but I'm afraid he will ask about it in the future. Who do you think is better?"
Lu Xingzhi said: "Say it's me."
The two were sitting together discussing something when they heard someone announce, "The prince is here."
