Chapter 110 Born a Bastard
So, she is also a stumbling block for Lu Lei and his sweetheart to stay together?
"How come Second Brother knows so clearly?"
Lu Yao put his hands behind his back. "Master Cheng used your lawsuit against Sun Ershao as an example when he was teaching in the private school, and ended the lesson with the sentence "Only villains and women are difficult to raise."
"Second brother, isn't Master Cheng reading the same sage book as you?" Lu Mingchao felt complicated.
Lu Yao nodded and cleared his throat.
"There is one more thing that we kept secret from our family. Xie Yan and I put Master Cheng's eldest son in a sack and beat him."
Lu Mingchao was dumbfounded.
Lu Yao's eyes sparkled, and he felt a little guilty. "Pay off the debt."
"He is a teacher at a private school in the town. The more respected a person is, the more cautious he should be in his words and actions."
"You and Xie Yanmo are really close." Lu Mingchao sighed.
Lu Yao: "And Xie Sui, he's on the loose!"
For a moment, Lu Mingchao didn't know what to feel.
"Thank you for your age. I didn't advise you guys?"
Lu Yao's eyes widened. "It was he who suggested it."
"Do you have any misunderstanding about Xie Sui's character?"
"I think he has a kind of quiet madness."
"He first suggested burning down the private school to prevent Master Cheng from spreading rumors and misleading the students."
"Xie Yannian and I thought that Master Cheng's teaching people to read and write was also a contribution to education, so we tried our best to persuade him to give up this idea. Otherwise, the private school would have been abandoned long ago."
"Before that, I never knew that Xie Sui, who looked like an honest and simple farmer, had such a side."
"So, if you want to blame someone, blame Xie Sui."
"To sum up, there is a high probability that Big Brother and Cheng Zhi will have no chance," Lu Yao emphasized.
Lu Mingchao: Second brother, Shu Yuan is not some wild boy.
It’s a comfortable wish!
He is the famous eunuch who holds the pen.
Then, Wulifufu said, "You are going to take the imperial examination. If you are discovered, your reputation will be ruined."
"As for what Big Brother thinks, neither you nor I guess."
Lu Yao: “We won’t be discovered.”
Lu Mingchao: ...
After a while, Yunniang informed Lu Mingchao of the results of her inquiry.
As Lu Yao expected, Lu Lei refused.
I don't know why, but my heart feels heavy.
"Nine-Nine Cold-Relief Diagram, do you still want it?"
"want!"
Lu Mingchao returned home in high spirits, holding the painting of Nine-Nine Cold Nights drawn by Lu Yao.
Shu Yuan, wearing a tattered hat, stood lazily by the stable, holding a handful of dry grass in his hand, and stuffed some into the horse's mouth from time to time. After the horse stretched its head over, he retracted his hand.
Others tease cats and dogs, but Shu Yuan directly teases horses!
"Sister-in-law, you're back."
Lu Mingchao curled his lips and said, "Between relaxation and peace of mind, you chose to relax."
"Between being honest and being mature, you chose being cunning."
"Also, who taught you to draw your eyebrows thicker than your thumb?"
How can a normal person’s eyebrows take up half of the forehead!
Shu Yuan stuffed the hay in his hand into the horse's mouth without saying anything, and smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, you know everything?"
"This is all the idea of the damn Lu Santu and Xie Xiaosi. I am old and weak, and my arms and legs are not big enough, so I can only choose to help the evildoers."
Lu Mingchao: This is the opposite of what is going on?
Lu Mingchao looked at Shu Yuan carefully.
Her eyes were dry from looking, but she still couldn't see even a hint of her beautiful face, red lips and white teeth.
This "when in Rome, follow the Romans" approach is really too thorough.
The torn hat is the finishing touch.
If Shu Yuan had been half as brave as he is now, he wouldn't have had to enter the palace and become a eunuch to warm the bed.
"Are you sure this wasn't your idea?"
Shu Yuan nodded without hesitation, "I am sincere, kind and beautiful, how could I take the initiative to do something that bullies the elderly and the weak."
Lu Mingchao laughed inwardly, "You paint your face so dark, is it to avoid feeling guilty?"
Shu Yuan looked up, down, left, and right, but he didn't look at Lu Ming Dynasty.
"Where is Xie Yan?"
"Into the city."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Gu Huai petitioned for grace to enter the court early, and refused the imperial decree to join the six ministries. He requested to be sent out of the capital for training and to make achievements before joining the six ministries. The emperor was very pleased and said that a good father will have a good son, so he agreed to his request."
"It seems that the position of County Magistrate Xu will be moved."
Lu Mingchao frowned. "When did you get the news?"
Shu Yuan straightened his crooked hat and said, "An hour ago."
"How could the Duke of Zhenguo allow Gu Huai to act so recklessly?" Lu Mingchao was quite puzzled.
Shu Yuan: "Gu Huai attacked first and then reported to the emperor unexpectedly."
"The imperial edict has been issued. No matter how angry the Duke of Zhenguo is, he dare not directly hit the emperor in the face."
"In the early spring of next year, Gu Huai will leave Beijing for Changhe County and serve as the county magistrate of Changhe County."
Lu Mingchao pursed his lips and said, "It shouldn't be this smooth."
"Gu Huai has left Beijing for his new post. His return date has not yet been determined, and there are many variables. The Yongning Marquisate will do its best to ensure that Lu Minghui is married to him before Gu Huai leaves Beijing."
"Gu Huai and Lu Minghui's marriage is about to be put on the agenda."
"Otherwise, no one can feel at ease."
"But I don't know whether Lu Minghui will choose to stay in Shangjingzhen Guogong Mansion as a noble lady after the wedding, or choose to come to Changhe with Gu Huai."
"You're sick!" Lu Mingchao cursed secretly.
Gu Huai is seriously ill.
No matter how high-sounding the words were, requesting permission to come to Changhe would inevitably involve her.
There was no telling how the wife of Marquis Yongning and Lu Minghui had cursed her behind her back, and she might even have been framed.
How shameful!
This is what Lu Mingchao really thought in his heart.
She received all of the original owner's memories, and knew best how humble the original owner was in front of Gu Huai.
Gu Huai was extremely picky about his tea. The original owner would collect the fallen snow from the plum blossoms on snowy days in the cold winter and store it in a jar, just to make Gu Huai feel more relaxed when drinking tea.
Gu Huai was an arrogant and aloof person, but the original owner shamelessly allowed the noble lady in the capital to ridicule and mock her. She followed Gu Huai for years without any complaints or regrets, and was happy when Gu Huai was happy and worried when Gu Huai was worried.
In Gu Huai's eyes, the original owner was mud under his feet.
Moreover, in the original novel, the original owner stayed in the Marquis' Mansion under threat of death, and continued to show deep affection to Gu Huai and care about her well-being. However, Gu Huai showed no sympathy for her, but instead became more disgusted with her and allowed the original owner to die tragically on the street without a trace of her body left.
Gu Huai and Lu Minghui lived hand in hand and loved each other for the rest of their lives.
So, in the final analysis, Gu Huai is a bastard.
People who cannot get what they want will always be restless. They do not want it themselves and will not allow others to get involved.
Shu Yuan: "Who is sick?"
"Gu Huai?"
"Or is it the Yongning Marquis Mansion that forced Gu Huai to get married?"
Shu Yuan saw the undisguised disgust and irritation in Lu Mingchao's brow, but he couldn't figure out the source of this irritation.
The root causes are different and the situations are very different.
It was not that he was just overthinking, but he had seen with his own eyes how the ten-year-old Lu Mingchao enjoyed himself in front of Gu Huai.
Lu Mingchao spent half of his more than ten years of life pursuing Gu Huai.
Teaching and educating people
