"I asked you to come here to discuss my trip to Shanxi with Lord Luo." Lu Jiaxue took the teapot and poured tea for him personally. "Lord Luo has many informants in Shanxi. I'm sure I know that I've killed Zeng Heng, and that the Emperor has sent troops to Datong to confiscate his property. I wonder if Lord Luo is secretly relieved?"
Luo Shenyuan drank tea. Ever since his informant's death, he'd suspected Lu Jiaxue would find out. Those fools had dared to act while Lu Jiaxue was in Datong. But Lu Jiaxue had no evidence; all the correspondence between him and Zeng Heng had been destroyed. Therefore, he felt it best to remain silent.
Lu Jiaxue was a smart man, and his partnership with Wang Yuan wasn't strong. He wouldn't go to great lengths to mess with him; there was no need.
But now, could it be that he has changed his mind?
Luo Shenyuan just thought he was playing Tai Chi. "I am naturally relieved. The traitor has been found by you, my Lord. The border is stable. This is all thanks to you, my Lord."
Lu Jiaxue said: "Lord Luo, don't be too wary. I admire you very much. You are very similar to me when I was young. I even want to help you-"
The civil servant that Lu Jiaxue carefully cultivated was Cheng Lang, but after Cheng Lang went beyond his control, he no longer supported him.
Luo Shenyuan didn't say anything.
The wind was blowing hard outside the window, and finally it started to rain. The rapid raindrops hit the window frame and the yard. The yard was covered with fog, and soon a small stream gathered.
Therefore, the house became increasingly quiet.
"I want to ask Lord Luo for something. If Lord Luo is willing to give it up, I will fully support Lord Luo in becoming the Minister and joining the cabinet."
"As long as Lord Luo is willing to give me a letter of divorce." Lu Jiaxue finally slowly and softly stated the purpose of his trip, "I want Lord Luo's wife - Wei Yining."
He turned his head, and there was a kind of ruthless calmness on his handsome face, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.
Because he felt that Luo Shenyuan was not worthy.
Luo Shenyuan smiled suddenly after hearing this. "What a coincidence! If Lord Lu had asked for the lives of my colleagues, or even my father, I might have considered it. But I have absolutely no intention of giving away my wife."
"In fact, Luo has no intention of cooperating with you. To cooperate with you, you must have a strong relationship with you. Only then will you not abandon me. Luo's wife is waiting for you at home, so I'll take my leave today."
After saying that, he bowed and left. Someone was already waiting for him outside the door with an umbrella.
"Then Lord Luo must be careful. Things in the court change rapidly and it is hard to predict." Lu Jiaxue said.
Luo Shenyuan paused, then smiled. Lu Jiaxue was trying to threaten him. The relationship between Yining and Lu Jiaxue was definitely not that simple, especially if it was worth Lu Jiaxue's threat... He left the Governor's Mansion without even looking back.
Lu Jiaxue did not expect Luo Shenyuan to refuse. He did not expect that such a politician still had feelings.
The rain poured down like a torrential downpour. Looking at the downpour outside, Lu Jiaxue suppressed the madness that had been brewing inside him. For so many years, no one had stood with him at dusk, no one had asked if his porridge was warm. After so many years of walking alone through bloodshed, he finally had a glimpse of her. So he would never let her go.
In that case, he might as well just do it without any scruples.

The heavy rain made Luo Yining very worried, and Luo Shenyuan had not returned yet.
On the kang by the window were Nan Ge'er's toys: a tangram puzzle, a tiger pillow, and nesting dolls. He stuck his little butt out and played with the tangram puzzle, then turned back to cling affectionately to Yining, as if he were born from her, his small, lotus-shaped arms wrapped around her neck, calling her "sister" non-stop.
Yining held his little butt and laughed out loud at his intimacy: "Nan'er, if you move again you will fall down!"
Lin Hairu was convinced by her son, and there was no way she could correct him. She pinched his nose and said, "If your third brother hears, he will definitely spank you."
Nan Ge'er was stunned by his mother, and Lin Hairu chuckled, thinking that her son was really funny.
This child was saved by her. When Yining touched Nan Ge'er's head, she felt a very gentle feeling.
She had no children in her previous life, so she couldn't experience the feeling of being a mother.
Yining said goodbye to Lin Hairu. Luo Shenyuan had not come back, and she was always absent-minded.
She held an umbrella herself and prepared to wait for him at the screen wall.
As a result, she met him halfway. Luo Shenyuan frowned when he saw her: "You are kidding, it's raining so hard outside!" Her foot injury had not healed yet, why did she run outside!
He took her umbrella and held it up for her, escorting her to the veranda. Once inside, Yi Ning realized his back and shoulders were soaked. Luo Shenyuan went to the bathroom to change, and when he came out, he saw her sitting cross-legged at the table, studying a chess game.
Yining saw that he was only wearing thin clothes.
The scene in the morning was still vivid in her mind. Seeing the strong chest, she avoided his gaze and asked, "Third brother, why did you come back so late today?"
Luo Shenyuan sat down opposite her: "I just took office at the Ministry of Industry not long ago, and I have a lot of things to do."
He took a white jade chess piece and put it down without much thought, easily breaking Yining's dilemma. He asked her, "Thinking about this?"
Yi Ning shook her head. She looked up. Outside the partition, the rain was pouring down. The sky had already darkened completely. The candlelight in the room reflected on him, casting his tall shadow in front of her. It was as if he was blocking her out, blocking out the wind and rain. Silence was silent, but very peaceful.
"I asked the maid to leave dinner for you. Since you never come back, I ate it first because I'm hungry." Yining asked the maid to bring the food.
