Chapter 2 The Prime Minister's Wife 2
Upon hearing this, Song Jing fell silent.
Could love at first sight really happen to Lu Zhi? He found it hard to believe.
Regardless of whether Song Jing believed him or not, Lu Zhicai continued, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm going back."
After saying that, he left.
The Lu residence.
Luo Xi smiled as she sat in a chair, counting the 100,000 taels of silver notes in her hand.
"Alright, that's exactly 100,000 taels."
"Then he has repaid this life-saving debt."
He had repaid the debt of saving his life, but he had not yet repaid her feelings.
When Song Jing left, he promised her that he would marry her a year later.
Because of this, she always remembered this incident and always regarded him as her future husband.
She would take out the jade pendant from time to time to look at it, hoping that he would come to marry her a year later.
But now,
But he fell in love with someone else...
Ugh! It's really unpleasant to have your expectations dashed.
Since she's not feeling well, he shouldn't expect to have an easy time either.
If she doesn't come to the capital to find him, does he intend to forget his promise and keep her waiting for him in Qingmu Village, remembering him...?
If he can't do it, then he shouldn't have made the promise in the first place.
Since you've made a promise, you have to keep it.
Why? Because she's the only one who remembers him and this promise.
But he found a new love and forgot about her.
Did he know that she had gone through so much hardship and arrived in the capital full of anticipation, only to find him embracing another woman with such affection?
Does he know how she felt at that time?
He didn't know.
However, he will also pay the price for his ignorance.
Lu Zhi, who was standing next to her, had no idea what Luo Xi was thinking.
Lu Zhi had someone choose an auspicious date, and looking at her expectantly, he said, "Luo Xi, a month from now is an auspicious day. Shall we get married on that day?"
Luo Xi: "Okay."
Three days later.
Lu Zhi took Luo Xi out for a stroll and bought her some dresses and jewelry that she liked.
Treasure Pavilion.
"Lu Zhi?"
As soon as Song Jing and Jiang Wan'er entered, they saw Lu Zhi standing beside a woman in green, his face slightly turned to the side.
Lu Zhi and Luo Xi turned around at the same time upon hearing the sound.
When Luo Xi saw Song Jing, she was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded at him.
Song Jing: !!!
Is this Luo Xi?
Jiang Wan'er thought Luo Xi was very beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.
No wonder the detached and indifferent Lord Lu is in such a hurry to get married.
I suppose she was afraid others would have designs on her.
Lu Zhi saw Song Jing staring at Luo Xi without moving.
His eyes turned cold, and then he possessively wrapped his arms around Luo Xi's waist.
Luo Xi noticed Lu Zhi's subtle actions.
Thinking:
Lu Zhi's possessiveness is a bit too strong!
However, it's better if it's heavier!
She glanced at Song Jing, her eyes flashing slightly.
Lu Zhi looked at Song Jing: "You accompanied Miss Jiang to buy jewelry?"
Song Jing: !!!
He glanced at Luo Xi first, then murmured an "Mmm".
Lu Zhi: "We've finished shopping, so we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he put his arm around Luo Xi and walked out.
As Luo Xi passed by Song Jing, she glanced at him.
Song Jing: '!!!'
Does she still like him?
She married Lu Zhi, was it because he could no longer marry her, and she had no other relatives?
What is he thinking?
Didn't he like Wan'er? But why did his heart beat so fast when he saw Luo Xi today?
Moreover, when he saw Lu Zhi embracing her, he felt a pang of resentment.
Song Jing clenched his fists and said apologetically to Jiang Wan'er, "Wan'er, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and I may not be able to go shopping with you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wan'er was extremely disappointed: "Ah?"
"Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy."
Song Jing: "Okay."
Then, Song Jing left.
More than half a month later,
The Lu residence.
Yuehuayuan.
On the bed.
Luo Xi turned to the side, looking at the candle that was about to burn out.
She murmured softly, "The wedding banquet is the day after tomorrow."
Why isn't Song Jing coming?
That's such a pity...
For the past two weeks,
She encountered Song Jing two or three times, and each time, he would look at her with an ambiguous expression. So, she also glanced at him a few more times, making him misunderstand that she had feelings for him.
The candle went out.
Just then,
Luo Xi heard a noise.
She sat up abruptly, about to shout outside.
Just then, a person strode over and covered her mouth with his hand. "Xi'er, don't shout, it's me."
After Song Jing finished speaking, seeing that Luo Xi didn't intend to shout, he released her.
By the moonlight, Luo Xi could see Song Jing's face clearly. She asked in a low voice, "Song Jing, what brings you here?"
She pushed his chest. "You should leave quickly. If someone sees us or finds out, we won't be able to explain ourselves."
Song Jing grabbed her small hand that was pushing him, squeezed it, and whispered, "Xi'er, no one knows. I sneaked in. I didn't tell anyone."
Song Jing was very familiar with the Lu residence; he had learned that she lived in Yuehua Courtyard. That's why he sneaked in tonight.
In the past two weeks, he has run into her two or three times.
Every time, Lu Zhi was by her side, and he never had a chance to talk to her.
But he saw the look in her eyes.
He knew that she was still different to him, so after much hesitation, he still didn't want Luo Xi to marry Lu Zhi.
He needed to find out what she meant. If she liked him, he would definitely not let her marry Lu Zhi.
Luo Xi: "Does nobody know?"
"Yes, nobody knows."
That's good.
After all, he is a general; if someone finds out, there will be trouble.
Song Jing asked nervously, "Xi'er, do you like me?"
Luo Xi asked in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"
Song Jing: "Xi'er, I like you. It was my fault before. I didn't recognize my own feelings."
"Xi'er, do you like me? If you do, then I will marry you."
Luo Xi hesitated and said, "But...but I promised to marry Lu Zhi."
"Besides, don't you already have Miss Jiang?"
"If you marry me, what about her?"
Song Jing pursed her lips. "Lu Zhi? Xi'er, Lu Zhi is too cold and ruthless. He is not suitable for you."
"As for Miss Jiang, consider it my fault. She will definitely find someone more suitable for her in the future."
Luo Xi: "Is that so?"
"Okay, then... then I like you."
She threw herself into Song Jing's arms, tilted her head slightly, and stared at his lips.
Song Jing thought she was going to kiss him, and he looked at her nervously.
Luo Xi reached out and touched his cheek. He inhaled a little muscle relaxant between his rapid breaths.
Not long after,
Song Jing felt weak all over, and Luo Xi pushed him away.
Song Jing collapsed onto the bed, looking at Luo Xi in disbelief: "You? You...."
Luo Xi reached under the pillow and took out the dagger that Lu Zhi had given her for self-defense.
She first covered Song Jing's mouth with a handkerchief.
"Sizzle!"
Luo Xi plunged a knife into his chest, but missed his heart. She then stabbed him repeatedly in the arm, face, thigh, and even his genitals. Finally, just as he was about to make a sound in pain, she slit his throat.
She bought this muscle-relaxing powder for self-defense before coming to the capital. Hmm, there's a little left; she'll give it to him.
"ah...."
At this moment, Lu Zhi couldn't sleep and happened to walk to Luo Xi's door.
Hearing Luo Xi's scream, he kicked the door open and rushed in.
"Xi'er!"
Lu Zhi rushed in, and by the moonlight, he saw Song Jing, covered in blood, on the bed, and Luo Xi, trembling and standing by the bedside, her face bloodied and holding a dagger.
Just then, Lu Zhi heard hurried footsteps outside and shouted, "No one is allowed to come in!"
"Go back, no one needs to stay here."
Everyone: !!!
"Yes, sir."
Lu Zhi strode toward Luo Xi, completely ignoring the bloodstained dagger she was holding.
"Clang!"
When Luo Xi saw Lu Zhi, she dropped the dagger in her hand as if startled.
She threw herself into Lu Zhi's arms, hugging his waist tightly, her whole body trembling, tears streaming down her face...
Luo Xi: "Lu Zhi, he... Lu Zhi, what do we do? I killed someone, I killed someone..."
"I don't know... I thought it was a thief, so..."
Luo Xi stammered, "He touched me first, and I only did it in a moment of panic..."
"I didn't mean to. I was just too scared."
Lu Zhi patted Luo Xi on the back: "I know, I know, it's not Xi'er's fault, it's his fault, he deserves it."
He gently released her, cupped her face in his hands, and looked into her eyes. "Xi'er, it's alright, it's alright, no one will know."
"No one but me will know about this, you can trust me."
Luo Xi was about to say something, but before she could speak, she fainted in Lu Zhi's arms from "excessive shock"...
Lu Zhi held Luo Xi in his arms, coldly looking at Song Jing on the bed.
“Drag his body to a mass grave and burn it.”
"Be careful, don't let anyone see."
Guard: "Yes, Master."
Lu Zhi was too angry.
Therefore, he did not have anyone examine the body, and thus did not discover that Song Jing had been poisoned with muscle-relaxing powder.
Finally, Song Jing died, and his body was burned.
