Chapter 90 Lu Erlang, His Secret (2)
And if Lu Xingzhi was reborn, who would he be?
If it’s not Zong Si, then it must be someone around him. There won’t be anyone else.
Nymph's heart beat very fast. Although it might be a coincidence, it still made her feel unreal.
Is there really anyone like her?
Lu Xingzhi also realized this when he was talking to Ning Zheng, but after a pause, he quickly returned to normal, and his tone when talking to Ning Zheng did not change at all.
When they arrived at the banquet, Ning Fu unconsciously glanced at the men's table, but Lu Xingzhi looked natural.
Wei Xiao is the son-in-law of the Ningguo Mansion, and Ning Ran has not returned home for a long time. People outside have already started gossiping about the Wei Mansion, so he shamelessly came to this family dinner.
Ning Ran still ignored him and didn't look at him. She just glanced at Ning Fu.
"Madam, are you still angry with me?" Wei Xiao's attitude was very humble this time. He didn't dare to look at Ning Fu again, although hearing Ning Fu's voice made his heart melt a little.
It was already a blessing for the Wei family to marry the daughter of Duke Ningguo. Even for the sake of the family's interests, they could not afford to lose this wife.
Wei naturally didn't want to be laughed at by the second wife, let alone by outsiders. She also couldn't bear to see her daughter stay in the mansion and let other women take her place. She said earnestly: "Xiao'er is also begging you sincerely this time. Why do you have to fight with him? Husband and wife should work together to face the outside world."
Wei was telling her not to let the concubine take advantage of her situation. At this moment, if the concubine whispered in Wei Xiao's ear, she could win his heart.
Ning Ran also understood this truth, and couldn't help but look at Ning Fu. Although she regretted quarreling with Ning Fu, she didn't completely believe it, and she didn't want to compare herself with her at all.
However, it is not worth arguing with her because of the comparison between love and her. After all, I don't want the other person to be bad. She was also angry that day and used her as an outlet.
But Nymph didn't even look at her.
Ning Ran felt a little bitter, but she couldn't lower her head to show goodwill.
Ning Ran soon felt that there was another pair of gazes falling on her. When she turned her head to look, she saw that on Lu Xingzhi's face, which always seemed calm, his eyes were sharp, like an eagle, and he could see through her thoughts. She even saw a bit of warning in them.
It was as if he was a powerful official, holding the power of life and death in his hands.
But he was only a fourth-rank military commander, how could he have the aura of a second-rank minister with real power?
In fact, the bandits in Liangzhou generally agreed with Ning Ran on this matter.
When Lu Xingzhi first arrived in Liangzhou, none of the bandits took him seriously. The palace sent people to suppress the bandits one after another, but none of them could really deal with them. Once they arrived in Liangzhou, they were mostly sidelined.
On the third day in Liangzhou, Lu Xingzhi seized tens of thousands of carts of gold that the bandits had robbed and taken the head of a bandit leader. Naturally, some Liangzhou officials who were in cahoots with the bandits came out to exert pressure and threaten them.
"If Lord Lu wants to save his life in Liangzhou, he must learn to abide by the law."
Lu Xingzhi, however, outshined him in aura. He held the knife in his right hand and the reins in his left hand, sitting on the horse, neither humble nor overbearing, but with an imposing manner. He said, "Behave yourself? With all your strength, what can stop me?"
The one who exerted pressure was immediately killed as an example to scare the monkeys, and Lu Xingzhi did not seem to be afraid at all.
It was a pity that no one in the capital saw that scene, otherwise many of them would have been fascinated by it.
At this moment, Lu Xingzhi's eyes made Ning Ran's heart tremble, and she dared not look at him again.
Lu Xingzhi also withdrew his gaze.
With Wei's advice, Ning Ran did not embarrass Wei Xiao in front of others. After all, they were husband and wife, and they would prosper together and suffer together. They still had to consider each other's face in front of others.
Wei Xiao sat next to her and picked up some food for her.
Even when Old Madam Ning praised Ning Fu, he did not dare to look at her again.
Ning Fu hated Wei Xiao very much, so she quickly found an excuse to leave the table. But she was afraid that Lu Xingzhi would leave, so she sat in the garden outside Qin Garden.
Not long after, Lu Xingzhi also came out.
"The weather is cold. Miss Four has fallen into the water. She should keep warm." He frowned when he saw that she was not even wearing a cloak.
"Mr. Lu, do you believe that people can live more than one lifetime?" Ning Fu looked up at him.
"I have heard a lot of rumors." Lu Xingzhi said, "But this is just like the rumors about ghosts and gods, fantastic and ethereal."
Ning Fu stared at him and said, "Master Lu, do you remember when you were drunk in Yongzhou, and you asked me to call you... Lang Jun."
Lu Xingzhi looked at her without saying anything.
"My dear." Nymph said slowly and softly without blinking, as if afraid of missing his expression.
This was a test to see if he was reborn. If he really had any entanglement with her, he should have reacted to these two words.
Zong Si was the first to know that she liked wood with a fruity smell, and since he asked her to call him "Lang Jun" that time, it was hard for her not to guess that it was him. But if it was really Zong Si from her previous life, it was quite sad. She didn't expect that he died so early.
Of course, it might not be Zong Si, but it could be someone who went to find the silver pear wood for Zong Si in the previous life. However, she didn't know who Zong Si told, who she wanted the silver pear wood with fruit flavor, and who she sent to find it.
Not far away, the person who was walking towards her paused.
Zong Si stood there with an unclear look in his eyes.
She actually called Lu Xingzhi "Sir".
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Lu Xingzhi looked at him but seemed to see nothing. He then looked at Ning Fu and said calmly, "Fourth Miss, I drank too much that day, and I already had some feelings for you. I was rude to you."
She didn't see any emotion on his face, nor did she feel strange at all because of the word "My Husband".
"How did Mr. Lu know that I like wood with fruity scent?" Nymph asked again.
"Lord Ning once told me that the fourth young lady has loved eating fruits since she was a child. Also, the clothes that the fourth young lady made for me have the scent of peaches and pears. So I guess that the fourth young lady also likes the scent of fruits in wood," Lu Xingzhi explained to her.
Although this was reasonable, Ning Fu did not completely dispel her suspicion of him. However, it was not advisable to test him anymore, otherwise it would appear that she was too curious about this matter. If Lu Xingzhi had not been reborn, he would have suspected her instead.
"Mr. Lu is a very thoughtful person." Ning Fu said.
"Fourth Miss, please go back. You'll catch a cold." Lu Xingzhi urged.
"I'm sorry for offending Mr. Lu just now." Ning Fu said.
"Fourth Miss, you don't have to apologize to me. You have your reasons for everything you did. As long as you didn't hurt me, you don't need to apologize." Lu Xingzhi said, "Fourth Miss won't hurt me, right?"
There are very few men who are so tolerant. It is impossible for Nymph to not be moved at all. But at the moment, she can only not be moved. She has no energy to think about love.
Ning Fu was about to speak again when she heard the servant say, "Madam, the prince of Prince Xuan's mansion is here."
