Chapter 338 True Meaning (3)
In Tangyuan, Lu Xian unexpectedly found that Sun Wei had returned.
She happily went up to him and asked, "Have you finished your work?"
"Well," Sun Wei said, "I remembered that I haven't talked to you for a long time, so I wanted to stay for a while today."
Lu Xian's eyes lit up: "That's great! There's no need to clean the bedroom, you can sleep with me tonight! By the way, you haven't met A-Du yet, right? A-Du is the peacock in the Bird Park..."
Lu Xian chattered non-stop, and even if Sun Wei only responded a few words absentmindedly, it did not affect her mood at all.
She enthusiastically pulled Sun Wei to count the peacock's feathers, but Sun Wei's thoughts were still in the palace.
——"Hasn't Madam ever doubted herself?"
It took her a lot of effort to finally determine what Sima Jun meant.
At that moment, she was stunned.
"What did the prince say?"
Sima Jun stared at her with a burning gaze: "I like you, is that not okay?"
Her heart was still pounding, and Sun Wei felt her feet were soft, as if she was stepping on clouds.
Dreams are generally not real.
His eyes were gentle and firm, filled with fervent anticipation, which made her heart so flustered that it almost jumped out.
In her two lifetimes, this was the first time Sun Wei saw Sima Jun smile so gently.
But, it would have been great if all this had happened in my previous life.
She didn't know how to respond, and she stopped the conversation abruptly without even asking a single question.
"I will pretend I didn't hear that."
After Sun Wei finished speaking, he left the palace and came here.
Looking up at the sky, she took a deep breath, trying to calm her chaotic thoughts.
She knew that she must look very disheveled from behind.
But what nonsense did that damn Sima Jun say? How should she face him in the future...
At this time, Lu Xian picked up a fallen peacock feather and handed it to Sun Wei: "Are you back to visit your father?"
——
Lu Ming is still ill and is now locked up in a small courtyard with guards inside and outside.
Before entering the yard, Sun Wei heard Lu Ming shouting and laughing.
"It's fake, all fake!"
After Sun Wei and Lu Xian entered, Lu Ming pointed at them and laughed: "You lied to me, you lied to me."
As he laughed, he sat on the ground and burst into tears.
Lu Xian felt a little sorry and stepped forward to help him up: "Father, the ground is dirty, you get up first."
Lu Ming cried out "Ouch" and stood up with her hand.
In a flash, Sun Wei seemed to see a flash of white blade. Aju hurriedly blocked Sun Wei behind her, while Lu Ming had already held Lu Xian hostage.
"Let me out." Lu Ming said in a hoarse voice.
There was no more madness on his face, only deep hatred.
Sun Wei looked at the white blade on Lu Xian's neck and asked coldly, "Mr. Lu, Lu Xian is your daughter."
"I lost my daughter a long time ago. She died two years ago." Lu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Let me out, or I will kill her."
Sun Wei glanced at Lu Xian and saw that her surprised face had turned into anger.
"Really? So father is hoping I'll die." She sneered, "Then why don't you kill me today?"
Lu Ming seemed not to hear and only said to Sun Wei: "Did you hear that? Let me out..."
"Don't let him go!" Lu Xian shouted.
Seeing Lu Ming's angry expression again, Sun Wei was afraid that he might act impulsively, so she hurriedly said, "I'll ask you to leave."
As she spoke, she winked at the steward, who then hurriedly dismissed the guards at the door.
Seeing this, Lu Xian became very anxious.
"Why did you let him go? He's a nuisance," she said loudly.
"Shut up and leave it to me." Sun Wei said coldly.
After she finished speaking, she said to Lu Ming, "Sir, you may leave now, but please do not hurt Lu Xian."
Lu Ming looked at the guards surrounding him in panic, pointed at Sun Wei, and said, "You, go ahead and clear the way. Don't walk too fast!"
"I see." Sun Wei turned around and walked ahead. "Sir, you're following. This Tang Garden is very large. It will take some effort to walk outside the garden."
After saying this, she slowly walked ahead, thinking about the route to the gate. She thought that perhaps she could take a detour into the woods, giving Aju a chance to make a move.
However, just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled her to the wall.
Sun Wei exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that the person in front of him was Sima Jun.
Sima Jun looked down at her, his brows furrowed. "Why did you run away?"
They were so close that Sun Wei's face was almost touching his chest.
"Who ran away?"
She lowered her head and quickly took a step back, trying to shake off his hand.
Sima Jun switched his left hand to his right and pulled her behind him without saying anything.
"Follow me."
As he said this, he took Sun Wei back to the courtyard.
In just a short while, Lu Ming was subdued, and Lu Xian stood aside, looking at him angrily.
"Now it's good, you can't get out anyway."
Lu Ming howled in pain and said, "Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
After hearing this, Lu Xian left angrily.
Seeing this, Sima Jun pushed Sun Wei and said, "You go, I'll take care of Lu Ming."
Sun Wei glanced at Lu Ming and said, "He..."
Sima Jun said, "Don't worry."
Sun Wei looked at him, then turned around and caught up with Lu Xian.
Lu Xian returned to her bedroom and collapsed on the bed, crying. "I'm so unlucky to have met such a father! My poor mother, why didn't you take me with you and let me suffer this inexplicable pain?"
Sun Wei sat down beside her and patted her on the back: "Never mind, you've had a carefree time these past two years. If your mother had taken you away earlier, you would have lived a hard life."
Lu Xian suddenly turned around to look at her, still gasping for breath.
"Don't you know how to comfort others?" she said angrily. "If I die of grief, will I let you go?"
Sun Wei poured her a glass of water: "You're fine, why are you talking about dying? Moisten your throat if it's hoarse, then continue scolding."
Lu Xian cried for a while, then sat up, took the cup and drank it all.
"Do you regret it?" Sun Wei asked.
"What are you regretting?"
"I regret agreeing to let me be the princess." Sun Wei said, "If you really had become the princess, perhaps this wouldn't have happened."
"If I become a princess, will he let me go?" Lu Xian sneered, "He is not a good person, and the people in the palace are not good people either. I was born to be a pit of fire!"
Sun Wei didn't say anything, and the two of them were silent for a while.
Lu Xian looked at her for a moment and said, "How is your father?"
"My father is not good, but compared to your father, he is still better."
Lu Xian gritted her teeth and said, "I want to wait until the next time we meet, either he kills me or I kill him."
Sun Wei shook his head: "Here we go again, why are you always thinking about killing and dying?"
"Now you can understand why I would rather wander around than go back and meet him."
"I know." Sun Wei comforted.
"So I have no choice but to rely on you from now on. You must treat me well, understand?"
"Um?
"Do you know?" Lu Xian asked with tears in her eyes.
"I know, I know." Sun Wei touched her head.
"I don't want to see him, not even live in the same garden with him. Can I go back to the palace with you tonight?" Lu Xian asked again with tears in her eyes.
