She said apologetically, "Look at my poor memory. Last time General Lu saved my daughter, I didn't have time to come and thank him."

"Mrs. Xia, you're too polite. It's just a small matter. Don't take it to heart." Lu Zhaofeng scratched his head embarrassedly.

He looked around with a little embarrassment, and his eyes finally fell on Xia Siqi again.

He moved his lips, wanting to ask what was going on.

In the end, I didn't say anything.

Lu Zhaolin: ???

Lived really long.

You can see everything.

He actually saw the look of lowered brows and drooped eyes on his brother's face.

"Maybe for General Lu, it's just a piece of cake, but for our Siqi, I'm your savior and the benefactor of our entire Imperial Censorate." Madam Xia said, becoming a little excited.

"Mrs. Xia, you are too kind." Lu Zhaofeng felt a little ashamed: "In that situation, anyone would have helped."

After Lu Zhaolin finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Siqi.

She was still the same as before, looking listless and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Especially her red eyes from crying.

Lu Zhaofeng really wanted to ask what had happened.

If he remembered correctly.

Even though she was in so much pain from the poisoning, she didn't shed a single tear.

He was really curious.

Why did that arrogant girl who told him not to get engaged to her cry like this?

"Mr. Lu, what does he want to buy? Just put it on the account of the Censorate's Mansion." Madam Xia said slowly.

“Mrs. Xia is so polite.” Lu Zhaofeng scratched his head a little embarrassedly: “Really, there’s no need to be so nervous. I just came out to pick some writing materials for my brother. In a few days, my brother will take the imperial examination.”

“So that’s how it is.” Madam Xia drawled, following Lu Zhaofeng’s words, her eyes falling on Lu Zhaolin.

She was just wondering who the young man who was talking to her was.

Only then did she realize that it was the talented young man who had once been popular throughout the imperial city.

that time.

As long as a few ladies get together.

The best thing to say is that it is a blessing for a daughter to be betrothed to Mr. Lu in the future.

I don’t know what happened later.

I heard that Mr. Lu was sent to prison.

after that.

All kinds of rumors continue to circulate.

Some said he was dead.

Some also said that he was poisoned so deeply that he became a living dead.

But the most common thing they said was that it was a good thing that they did not marry their daughter to Mr. Lu.

Now he saw Lu Zhaolin standing in front of him.

Mrs. Lu was full of emotion: "It's good to take the imperial examination. After the imperial examination, it will be the day of the selection."

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking, she sighed helplessly and turned to look at Xia Siqi.

Although she didn't say anything.

Lu Zhaolin more or less guessed something from Mrs. Xia's eyes.

"Miss Xia is also going to participate in the talent show?" Lu Zhaolin asked in surprise.

The smile on Mrs. Lu's face completely collapsed, and she let out a long breath: "Isn't it? All unmarried women over the age of 14 must participate in the selection."

After Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Xia Siqi.

Tears welled up in Xia Siqi's eyes.

She seemed to be deliberately suppressing something, not wanting it to fall, and kept looking up at the sky.
