My Gentleman Reborn
Chapter 60
"..." He Yuzhou clenched his palms, mouth full of bitterness: "I can't agree."
"..." Lu Zhuoxi's stiff body loosened, and he almost collapsed on the wheelchair, as if he had lost his strength: "Does Miss have no feelings for Zhuo Xi? I can feel Miss's care for Zhuo Xi."
"There is caring, isn't the lady interested in Zhuo Xi?"
Lu Zhuoxi questioned He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou closed his eyes in pain.
want to say?Tell the truth, tell the fact that you are He Suxian, tell the fact that you are a man...
He Yuzhou pursed his lips. A man can say that, but He Suxian's facts are not. He Suxian will definitely not be able to 'come back to life' again.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Lu Zhuoxi and said, "Master Lu, I'm actually... a boy."
Lu Zhuoxi blinked, looked at He Yuzhou and suddenly clenched the handle of the wheelchair: "Don't insult Zhuoxi."
Xu Shi was too excited, he coughed after he finished speaking, and bent over coughing, his back trembling violently, He Yuzhou was startled, hurried over to help him straighten his back, held a teacup to drink water for him, but he couldn't say a single word. Don't dare to talk nonsense.
Lu Zhuoxi took a breather, panting, he opened his eyes slightly and said: "Miss, don't use such ridiculous excuses to prevaricate Zhuoxi."
After speaking, he supported the wheelchair and stood up.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and went to help him, but Lu Zhuoxi pushed him away.
"Master Lu...you..."
"A Zhuang, A Zhuang!"
Ah Zhuang walked out of the house, he was taken aback when he saw this situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Zhuoxi who was not standing still and wanted to brush He Yuzhou away.
Lu Zhuoxi was supported to stabilize her body, she gasped for a while, looked at He Yuzhou and said, "It was Zhuoxi who forced what Zhuoxi shouldn't ask for, Zhuoxi can't promise Miss's future, it's natural for Miss not to want to, why use such an excuse, Is it possible that Zhuo Xi can still persecute Miss? Miss Zhuo Xi is underestimated."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes sadly: "Zhuo Xi has disturbed you for the past few days, so I will leave here."
As he said that, he actually asked Ah Zhuang to help him out.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and stepped forward to keep him, but Ah Zhuang blocked He Yuzhou's footsteps, Lu Zhuoxi looked back slightly at He Yuzhou and said: "Since Miss can't promise what Zhuo Xi wants, don't give Zhuo Xi hope, Zhuo Xi is a very fantasies."
He Yuzhou stopped abruptly, watching him move away step by step.
My heart is sad, did he do something wrong?
Was it wrong all along?
Shouldn't he have concealed his identity, shouldn't he have lied?
He Yuzhou was at a loss...
Qi Yan walked on the small path in the village, watching the villagers coming and going, and experiencing the rare rural scenery.
The drought has been eased after the mountains and rivers brought down. Although the crops in the field are still very sluggish, they are much better than the previous two days.
The grain field is the life of the villagers. Even if they run out of water to drink, they will not let the grain field dry out.
In the past few days, they have almost inquired about He Yuzhou's affairs in the village.
It may be his fault that He Yuzhou's reputation in the village is not good.
He is a man, and he has clearly told him that he wants to turn back into a man, but the household registration he made for him is a woman.
The clothes given to him were also women.
Behavior is biased towards women. With the proof of clothing and household registration, it is even more difficult for him to be a man, and it is even more difficult for the villagers to believe. In addition, he is not smooth and can't let go of his temper, so he has been wearing men's clothes until now. I haven't revealed the man's identity yet, and it's hard for him...
He is obviously a man, he behaves like a man, and has a normal relationship with the villagers, but he is labeled as 'indiscreet'.
It's time to find a time to get his household registration back, and then find a reason for him to be justified.
Qi Yan smiled lightly, with an idea in his head, he walked back.
Suddenly an unusual voice came from his ear, he frowned slightly, suppressed his smile, turned a corner, and walked towards the sparsely populated place on the other side.
As soon as he got to a place where no one was around, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of Qi Yan and knelt on the ground.
"Master, the subordinates are late."
"Nui." Qi Yan turned around.
The man in black bowed his head: "This subordinate is here."
"You brought someone here who shouldn't be brought here." Qi Yan said, looking behind Nu Yi with sharp eyes, Nu Yi was stunned, got up and turned around, suddenly several people in official uniforms flashed behind him The men, holding long swords, formed two rows and surrounded Qi Yan and him.
"Haha, thanks to this little guard, I was able to find you, His Highness Ninth Prince... No, it should be His Majesty the Emperor." Behind the two rows of guards, an old man stood up with a big laugh and stood up.
"..." Qi Yan was silent, and opened the folding fan in his hand: "Master Prime Minister, 'Your Majesty' can't bark."
The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and acted like he suddenly realized: "Your Highness is right."
As he spoke, he raised his hem, knelt down on his knees, and took the lead in shouting: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Seeing this, the two rows of men standing side by side also knelt down and shouted together: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
"..." Qi Yan's complexion turned black, and he put away the folding fan with a 'snap': "Where is the prince?"
"Still in court." The old man responded.
"Since you're still here, why are you calling me long live?" Qi Yan's eyes were cold.
The old man said: "This is the late emperor's last wish."
Qi Yan's eyes flickered: "The first emperor? Father, he..."
"He passed away ten days ago." The old man responded, and then explained again: "The prince's secret news has not yet been announced to the world."
Qi Yan pursed her lips and clenched her palms.
The old man said: "Before the late emperor died, he secretly handed over the edict to the old minister, and the emperor's position was passed on to the ninth son Qi Yan."
"...Go back with the official, Your Highness Ninth Prince, it's time for you to face it."
Qi Yan played with the folding fan, closed his eyes in thought, and replied with a half-sigh, "It's time to face it."
He lowered his head and smiled wryly, looked at Nu Yi who was standing behind him properly, with a twinkle in his eyes, and called him over.
"You don't need to go back with me, help me take care of someone..."
When Nu Yi saw He Yuzhou, he immediately knew that he was the person his master wanted him to take care of.
The master said that this person is dressed in a man's attire but reveals a woman's breath, he can be recognized at a glance, and it is true.
Nu Yi knocked on the door and walked into He Yuzhou's yard.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and stood up. The man in front of him was dressed in black, his complexion was dark, and his face was ordinary but had sharp eyes. He couldn't help feeling vigilant. This stranger had never seen him in the village before. long sword.
He asked, "Who are you looking for?"
The man walked up to him first and knelt down in front of him.
He Yuzhou was stunned, and couldn't help taking a step back: "You..."
"It was the master who asked his subordinates to take care of the young lady."
"Master? Who is your master?" He Yuzhou was puzzled.
"It's...Qi...Young Master Qi." Nu Yi frowned as if his name wasn't too strange.
He Yuzhou was stunned and asked, "Mr. Qi Yan?"
"Yes." Nu Yi nodded, and knelt on the ground to declare his loyalty: "Master said that your surname is He and your name is Yuzhou. You live in a place with a bamboo forest to the east of the river mouth. From now on, my subordinates will take care of Miss. If Miss needs anything, just ask her."
"No..." He Yuzhou frowned: "You get up first, where is Qi Yan?"
"Master, he..."
"If that person asks you about me, just tell me that I have something to do at home, leave for more than a month, and let him wait for me." Nu Yi was in a daze, remembering Qi Yan's order before leaving, and said: "The master has something to go home. , I will come to see Miss soon."
He Yuzhou frowned, Qi Yan just left?
no sign...
He Yuzhou gritted his teeth, told him last night that he was looking forward to his growth, and left today...
Never even said goodbye...
He Yuzhou sat down dejectedly, his eyes fixed on the kneeling man, he stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Get up."
"..." The man carefully avoided He Yuzhou's hand, quickly stood up and stood aside.
He Yuzhou rubbed his forehead and said: "I know about his departure, I don't need you to take care of me, go find your master."
Nu Yi was taken aback, then quickly knelt down on the ground again: "But what's wrong with this subordinate?"
"..." He Yuzhou froze and said, "You have nothing to do wrong, get up first."
"If Miss is dissatisfied with the subordinate, just say so, and the subordinate is willing to accept the punishment."
He Yuzhou was speechless, and sighed, "Get up first."
Nu Yi bowed her head: "Miss, please punish me."
"..."
"If the subordinate goes back here, the master will definitely blame the subordinate for not caring enough, and the subordinate will be ashamed to face the master again. Miss, please tell the subordinate, what is wrong with the subordinate?"
"..." He Yuzhou was speechless. Does this mean that if you want to let him go, you have to do something bad?But... where is the reason?
Moreover, this person looks like a guard and is out of place with the village. Is this person really Qi Yan's subordinate?What is Qi Yan's identity and has such a subordinate?
There were too many confusions, He Yuzhou didn't dare to keep this person casually, so he could only say: "I really don't need someone to take care of you, no matter how good you are, I don't need someone to take care of you, it's useless to stay, go find your master."
"...The subordinate understands." After a long silence, Nu Yi said, turned and left the yard.
He Yuzhou rubbed his painful forehead and sighed, he was very confused now, Lu Zhuoxi threw up his sleeves and left, Qi Yan left without saying goodbye.
All of a sudden, there were two people missing in the house, and Qin Huan went out to play again, which made the yard look very empty.
Compared to leaving Qi Yan without saying goodbye, He Yuzhou was more worried about Lu Zhuoxi.
Qi Yan is very clever and cunning, he will not be bullied at will.
But Lu Zhuoxi's body is so weak, and now he is still on the tip of his horns. He Yuzhou is really afraid that he will do something, and his body can't stand such a torment.
No, you can't just sit still, since he is the cause, he has to take responsibility, and can't let Lu Zhuoxi ruin himself for nothing.
He Yuzhou stood up, hurried to Zhao's family, made an excuse with Zhao Yi, and asked Zhao to take him to the town. As soon as he arrived in the town, he immediately ran to Lu's mansion to find Lu Zhuoxi.
However, the family member of the Lu family blocked He Yuzhou at the door, saying that Lu Zhuoxi did not see any guests.
He Yuzhou had no choice but to go back after being shut down.
On the second and third days, He Yuzhou came to visit every day, and Lu Zhuoxi closed the door to thank the guests, but he didn't see He Yuzhou. At this time, He Yuzhou was also a little anxious. He looked at the grand gate of Lu Mansion, suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, and rushed in.
The servant of Lu's mansion was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to obstruct him, but he persisted, and finally shouted: "Lu Zhuoxi, come out, I have something to tell you, your life can't be ruined like this because of He Suxian, you can You can be an official if you become an official, but your reason for becoming an official should be your ambition and not because of He Suxian, it's not worth it, Lu Zhuoxi, did you hear..."
"What are you arguing about!" Perhaps it was He Yuzhou's voice that caught the attention of the people in the Lu residence. A young man came out of the Lu family. The man was dressed in brocade and had a scholarly air. He looked at He Yuzhou and frowned: "Girl, do you come here every day?" , what are you going to do?"
He Yuzhou gritted his teeth: "I want to see Lu Zhuoxi."
"Cousin doesn't see any guests." The man frowned: "Girl, don't be obsessed, listen to me, go back, don't make noise here, many people in the house are reading."
He Yuzhou shook his head: "I really want to see him, I have something to say to him face to face."
He figured it out, even if he told Lu Zhuoxi the truth, as long as he could stop him, he would not hesitate.
The He family is very powerful, and they cannot be shaken by being an official. The strength of the He family is not only He Zun's status as a candidate, but also the business industry. It is spread all over the place. The relationship between officials and merchants in the palace is intricate, and Mr. Shang Zhuo provided items to the palace with a purpose in the past few years. Maybe there are people in the palace now. Shake them up.
Lu Zhuoxi is very smart, and has gradually started to run a business, but after all, he is not as good as a businessman, and he is not as smooth as Mr. Shang Zhuo, and he is not as smart as Mr. Shang Zhuo. Shang Zhuojun took a bite from the back, he is still so weak...
Therefore, he can't let Lu Zhuoxi deal with the He family alone, it's too dangerous...
He Yuzhou was anxious, and didn't care much about it. He took advantage of the young man's inattention, and slipped past him. The man was startled, and reflexively tried to stop him, but in surprise and panic, he used a lot more force, and it turned out to be Pushed He Yuzhou to the street.
"Ah..." He Yuzhou exclaimed, and was about to hit the ground when a man appeared beside him. The man was dressed in black and held a long sword, and he caught He Yuzhou's body securely.
He Yuzhou was dizzy. He hadn't eaten or rested very well in the past two days. At this time, his vision was blurry, and he couldn't see the scenery in front of him clearly.
"Miss? Miss?" The man was anxious, as if looking at Lu's mansion, he bent down and hugged He Yuzhou horizontally, turned around and rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, and swept aside.
When He Yuzhou woke up, it was the room he was familiar with. He moved his body, and there was a sound beside the bed. He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and after looking over, he saw that there was a small head lying on the side of his bed, shaking his head. He lifted it up, and the one with delicate features was the well-behaved Qin Huan, who was petite and thin.
While rubbing his eyes, he looked in the direction of He Yuzhou, and when he saw He Yuzhou sitting up, his face was full of surprise: "Sister, you're awake!"
"I'll get you the medicine." As he spoke, he ran out on short legs, and after a while, he brought a bowl of black Chinese medicine lightly.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then said with warmth in his heart: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaohuan. These days, my sister has ignored you."
Qin Huan pursed her lips and shook her head: "I know my sister is very busy. Xiao Huan can take care of herself if she has nothing to do. My sister should take medicine quickly and get well soon."
He Yuzhou took the medicine, his heart ached, he patted his head, and asked a little strangely: "This...who brought me back, did Xiao Huan grab this medicine?"
Qin Huan shook his head: "It's an older brother."
"elder brother?"
"He's in the kitchen. Does my sister want to see him? I'll ask him to come in."
Qin Huan jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. After a while, he pulled in a man...
That man, dressed in black and holding a long sword, was... Qi Yan's subordinate.
He Yuzhou was astonished, the man was about to kneel down when he saw He Yuzhou, but He Yuzhou hurriedly stopped him.
"You... haven't left yet?" He Yuzhou asked tentatively.
The man shook his head slightly: "The master asked me to take care of the young lady, and it is impossible for the subordinates to leave."
"Then you have been following me?" He Yuzhou asked in a daze.
The man nodded slightly.
"But I rest at home at night, you won't be here at night, will you?"
"..." The man pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to answer, and finally explained: "This subordinate is on the roof of Miss..."
"..." He Yuzhou frowned.
The man knelt down and said: "This subordinate didn't intend to hide it, but the young lady never accepted the protection of this subordinate, so this subordinate can only resort to this trick."
He Yuzhou sighed: "...Thank you very much this time."
"This is the duty of the subordinate." The man replied.
He Yuzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, and drank the medicine in his hand: "Did the doctor say anything?"
"It's said that Miss is too worried and depressed, that's why she's dizzy and fainted. Let Miss relax."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent. With his current appearance, how can he be relieved? He put down the medicine bowl, got up and got out of bed.
The man looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help dissuading him: "Miss, the doctor said you should rest more..."
"But I have to do something." He Yuzhou said, looking at Qin Huan, who was standing dazed by the side, knelt down and patted his head: "I'm sorry, Xiao Huan, my sister is going out again, so I can't accompany you." You, I left you alone at home during this time, and I failed to take good care of you..."
Qin Huan shook his head: "No, sister, I can take care of myself. If my sister has something to do, go there, but if you don't feel well, you should go back to sleep soon."
He Yuzhou smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed Qin Huan and said, "Okay."
Knowing that He Yuzhou could not be stopped, Nu Yi followed behind He Yuzhou.
He Yuzhou wanted to tell him not to follow, but this man was very stubborn, and He Yuzhou had nothing to do with him, so he left him alone.
He found Uncle Zhao again and went to the town. He Yuzhou didn't go to Lu's mansion, but came to Uncle An's cloth shop, trying to find Lu Zhuoxi through Uncle An.
After hearing He Yuzhou's words, Uncle An was very surprised: "Didn't the young master go to the capital the day before yesterday?"
"what……"
He Yuzhou was astonished: "But people in the Lu residence said that Lu Zhuoxi thanked guests behind closed doors."
"Oh, yes, there is such a thing." Uncle An suddenly realized it, and explained with a smile: "The young master came back and wanted to rest for two days, so he kept telling the servants that if someone visits, thank them behind closed doors. Perhaps the servant did not know about the matter between the girl and the young master, so he also blocked the girl at the door."
As he said that, Uncle An said with a smile: "But there's nothing you can do now, the young master has already left, what's the girl looking for him for?"
He Yuzhou didn't know where to start talking to Uncle An, so he could only ask, "Young Master Lu went to the capital...to become an official?"
"Even this, the young master told you." Uncle An was amazed, and then slowly said: "Yes, the young master finally thought about it, his talent shouldn't be buried here, before, my wife and I persuaded him At that time, he was unwilling to go, saying that he was not in good health, and he was worried about the Lu family, but now... he has figured it out by himself, and it is very good."
Uncle An's face was full of joy, and He Yuzhou's throat was suffocated. He couldn't tell the real reason why he became an official, so he could only politely say: "Uncle An thinks so, Young Master Lu really went to become an official to show off his ambitions?" "
"What do you mean, girl?" Uncle An looked at He Yuzhou with a smile: "Master figured it out, of course it's only for himself, maybe it's for the sake of others."
He pointedly said, and said: "Even if he wants to do it for others, Madam will not allow it."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, which meant that they all knew about Lu Zhuoxi...
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Uncle An say: "Miss, don't worry... the young master will be fine, he has me and my wife, but the girl, her pale complexion may be due to illness. If you are sick, you should rest at home. "
He Yuzhou lowered his head when he heard the words: "Yes, it's time to rest at home."
Talking in a daze, he smiled politely at Uncle An, turned around and left the cloth shop.
Lu Zhuoxi went to the capital...he couldn't stop it...
But Uncle An said he was doing it for his own ambition, really?
"The young master will be fine, he has me and his wife."
Recalling Uncle An's words, He Yuzhou laughed sadly. Did he mean to tell him not to worry about it.
What should he do?
"Qi Yan, what do you think I should do?" He Yuzhou turned around and asked, but he woke up suddenly when he met the surprised gaze of the man in black.
Almost forgot, Qi Yan left without saying goodbye...
He Yuzhou returned home in a daze, and the man behind him followed suit.
He Yuzhou looked at him, thinking about Qi Yan, he couldn't help asking: "Your master... did you say anything else before leaving?"
Nu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head: "He only asks his subordinates to take care of you until he comes back to find you."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you...stay in the room."
"..." Lu Zhuoxi's stiff body loosened, and he almost collapsed on the wheelchair, as if he had lost his strength: "Does Miss have no feelings for Zhuo Xi? I can feel Miss's care for Zhuo Xi."
"There is caring, isn't the lady interested in Zhuo Xi?"
Lu Zhuoxi questioned He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou closed his eyes in pain.
want to say?Tell the truth, tell the fact that you are He Suxian, tell the fact that you are a man...
He Yuzhou pursed his lips. A man can say that, but He Suxian's facts are not. He Suxian will definitely not be able to 'come back to life' again.
He gritted his teeth, looked at Lu Zhuoxi and said, "Master Lu, I'm actually... a boy."
Lu Zhuoxi blinked, looked at He Yuzhou and suddenly clenched the handle of the wheelchair: "Don't insult Zhuoxi."
Xu Shi was too excited, he coughed after he finished speaking, and bent over coughing, his back trembling violently, He Yuzhou was startled, hurried over to help him straighten his back, held a teacup to drink water for him, but he couldn't say a single word. Don't dare to talk nonsense.
Lu Zhuoxi took a breather, panting, he opened his eyes slightly and said: "Miss, don't use such ridiculous excuses to prevaricate Zhuoxi."
After speaking, he supported the wheelchair and stood up.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and went to help him, but Lu Zhuoxi pushed him away.
"Master Lu...you..."
"A Zhuang, A Zhuang!"
Ah Zhuang walked out of the house, he was taken aback when he saw this situation, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Zhuoxi who was not standing still and wanted to brush He Yuzhou away.
Lu Zhuoxi was supported to stabilize her body, she gasped for a while, looked at He Yuzhou and said, "It was Zhuoxi who forced what Zhuoxi shouldn't ask for, Zhuoxi can't promise Miss's future, it's natural for Miss not to want to, why use such an excuse, Is it possible that Zhuo Xi can still persecute Miss? Miss Zhuo Xi is underestimated."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes sadly: "Zhuo Xi has disturbed you for the past few days, so I will leave here."
As he said that, he actually asked Ah Zhuang to help him out.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and stepped forward to keep him, but Ah Zhuang blocked He Yuzhou's footsteps, Lu Zhuoxi looked back slightly at He Yuzhou and said: "Since Miss can't promise what Zhuo Xi wants, don't give Zhuo Xi hope, Zhuo Xi is a very fantasies."
He Yuzhou stopped abruptly, watching him move away step by step.
My heart is sad, did he do something wrong?
Was it wrong all along?

The man in black bowed his head: "This subordinate is here."
"You brought someone here who shouldn't be brought here." Qi Yan said, looking behind Nu Yi with sharp eyes, Nu Yi was stunned, got up and turned around, suddenly several people in official uniforms flashed behind him The men, holding long swords, formed two rows and surrounded Qi Yan and him.
"Haha, thanks to this little guard, I was able to find you, His Highness Ninth Prince... No, it should be His Majesty the Emperor." Behind the two rows of guards, an old man stood up with a big laugh and stood up.
"..." Qi Yan was silent, and opened the folding fan in his hand: "Master Prime Minister, 'Your Majesty' can't bark."
The old man raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and acted like he suddenly realized: "Your Highness is right."

"No..." He Yuzhou frowned: "You get up first, where is Qi Yan?"
"Master, he..."
"If that person asks you about me, just tell me that I have something to do at home, leave for more than a month, and let him wait for me." Nu Yi was in a daze, remembering Qi Yan's order before leaving, and said: "The master has something to go home. , I will come to see Miss soon."
He Yuzhou frowned, Qi Yan just left?

"..." He Yuzhou froze and said, "You have nothing to do wrong, get up first."
"If Miss is dissatisfied with the subordinate, just say so, and the subordinate is willing to accept the punishment."
He Yuzhou was speechless, and sighed, "Get up first."

"..."
"If the subordinate goes back here, the master will definitely blame the subordinate for not caring enough, and the subordinate will be ashamed to face the master again. Miss, please tell the subordinate, what is wrong with the subordinate?"
"..." He Yuzhou was speechless. Does this mean that if you want to let him go, you have to do something bad?But... where is the reason?
Moreover, this person looks like a guard and is out of place with the village. Is this person really Qi Yan's subordinate?What is Qi Yan's identity and has such a subordinate?
There were too many confusions, He Yuzhou didn't dare to keep this person casually, so he could only say: "I really don't need someone to take care of you, no matter how good you are, I don't need someone to take care of you, it's useless to stay, go find your master."
"...The subordinate understands." After a long silence, Nu Yi said, turned and left the yard.
He Yuzhou rubbed his painful forehead and sighed, he was very confused now, Lu Zhuoxi threw up his sleeves and left, Qi Yan left without saying goodbye.
All of a sudden, there were two people missing in the house, and Qin Huan went out to play again, which made the yard look very empty.
Compared to leaving Qi Yan without saying goodbye, He Yuzhou was more worried about Lu Zhuoxi.
Qi Yan is very clever and cunning, he will not be bullied at will.
But Lu Zhuoxi's body is so weak, and now he is still on the tip of his horns. He Yuzhou is really afraid that he will do something, and his body can't stand such a torment.
No, you can't just sit still, since he is the cause, he has to take responsibility, and can't let Lu Zhuoxi ruin himself for nothing.
He Yuzhou stood up, hurried to Zhao's family, made an excuse with Zhao Yi, and asked Zhao to take him to the town. As soon as he arrived in the town, he immediately ran to Lu's mansion to find Lu Zhuoxi.
However, the family member of the Lu family blocked He Yuzhou at the door, saying that Lu Zhuoxi did not see any guests.
He Yuzhou had no choice but to go back after being shut down.
On the second and third days, He Yuzhou came to visit every day, and Lu Zhuoxi closed the door to thank the guests, but he didn't see He Yuzhou. At this time, He Yuzhou was also a little anxious. He looked at the grand gate of Lu Mansion, suddenly gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, and rushed in.
The servant of Lu's mansion was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to obstruct him, but he persisted, and finally shouted: "Lu Zhuoxi, come out, I have something to tell you, your life can't be ruined like this because of He Suxian, you can You can be an official if you become an official, but your reason for becoming an official should be your ambition and not because of He Suxian, it's not worth it, Lu Zhuoxi, did you hear..."
"What are you arguing about!" Perhaps it was He Yuzhou's voice that caught the attention of the people in the Lu residence. A young man came out of the Lu family. The man was dressed in brocade and had a scholarly air. He looked at He Yuzhou and frowned: "Girl, do you come here every day?" , what are you going to do?"
He Yuzhou gritted his teeth: "I want to see Lu Zhuoxi."
"Cousin doesn't see any guests." The man frowned: "Girl, don't be obsessed, listen to me, go back, don't make noise here, many people in the house are reading."
He Yuzhou shook his head: "I really want to see him, I have something to say to him face to face."
He figured it out, even if he told Lu Zhuoxi the truth, as long as he could stop him, he would not hesitate.
The He family is very powerful, and they cannot be shaken by being an official. The strength of the He family is not only He Zun's status as a candidate, but also the business industry. It is spread all over the place. The relationship between officials and merchants in the palace is intricate, and Mr. Shang Zhuo provided items to the palace with a purpose in the past few years. Maybe there are people in the palace now. Shake them up.
Lu Zhuoxi is very smart, and has gradually started to run a business, but after all, he is not as good as a businessman, and he is not as smooth as Mr. Shang Zhuo, and he is not as smart as Mr. Shang Zhuo. Shang Zhuojun took a bite from the back, he is still so weak...
Therefore, he can't let Lu Zhuoxi deal with the He family alone, it's too dangerous...
He Yuzhou was anxious, and didn't care much about it. He took advantage of the young man's inattention, and slipped past him. The man was startled, and reflexively tried to stop him, but in surprise and panic, he used a lot more force, and it turned out to be Pushed He Yuzhou to the street.
"Ah..." He Yuzhou exclaimed, and was about to hit the ground when a man appeared beside him. The man was dressed in black and held a long sword, and he caught He Yuzhou's body securely.
He Yuzhou was dizzy. He hadn't eaten or rested very well in the past two days. At this time, his vision was blurry, and he couldn't see the scenery in front of him clearly.
"Miss? Miss?" The man was anxious, as if looking at Lu's mansion, he bent down and hugged He Yuzhou horizontally, turned around and rushed out of the crowd of onlookers, and swept aside.
When He Yuzhou woke up, it was the room he was familiar with. He moved his body, and there was a sound beside the bed. He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and after looking over, he saw that there was a small head lying on the side of his bed, shaking his head. He lifted it up, and the one with delicate features was the well-behaved Qin Huan, who was petite and thin.
While rubbing his eyes, he looked in the direction of He Yuzhou, and when he saw He Yuzhou sitting up, his face was full of surprise: "Sister, you're awake!"
"I'll get you the medicine." As he spoke, he ran out on short legs, and after a while, he brought a bowl of black Chinese medicine lightly.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then said with warmth in his heart: "Thank you for your hard work, Xiaohuan. These days, my sister has ignored you."
Qin Huan pursed her lips and shook her head: "I know my sister is very busy. Xiao Huan can take care of herself if she has nothing to do. My sister should take medicine quickly and get well soon."
He Yuzhou took the medicine, his heart ached, he patted his head, and asked a little strangely: "This...who brought me back, did Xiao Huan grab this medicine?"
Qin Huan shook his head: "It's an older brother."
"elder brother?"
"He's in the kitchen. Does my sister want to see him? I'll ask him to come in."
Qin Huan jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen. After a while, he pulled in a man...
That man, dressed in black and holding a long sword, was... Qi Yan's subordinate.
He Yuzhou was astonished, the man was about to kneel down when he saw He Yuzhou, but He Yuzhou hurriedly stopped him.
"You... haven't left yet?" He Yuzhou asked tentatively.
The man shook his head slightly: "The master asked me to take care of the young lady, and it is impossible for the subordinates to leave."
"Then you have been following me?" He Yuzhou asked in a daze.
The man nodded slightly.
"But I rest at home at night, you won't be here at night, will you?"
"..." The man pursed his lips, seemingly unwilling to answer, and finally explained: "This subordinate is on the roof of Miss..."
"..." He Yuzhou frowned.
The man knelt down and said: "This subordinate didn't intend to hide it, but the young lady never accepted the protection of this subordinate, so this subordinate can only resort to this trick."
He Yuzhou sighed: "...Thank you very much this time."
"This is the duty of the subordinate." The man replied.
He Yuzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, and drank the medicine in his hand: "Did the doctor say anything?"
"It's said that Miss is too worried and depressed, that's why she's dizzy and fainted. Let Miss relax."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent. With his current appearance, how can he be relieved? He put down the medicine bowl, got up and got out of bed.
The man looked at him suspiciously, and couldn't help dissuading him: "Miss, the doctor said you should rest more..."
"But I have to do something." He Yuzhou said, looking at Qin Huan, who was standing dazed by the side, knelt down and patted his head: "I'm sorry, Xiao Huan, my sister is going out again, so I can't accompany you." You, I left you alone at home during this time, and I failed to take good care of you..."
Qin Huan shook his head: "No, sister, I can take care of myself. If my sister has something to do, go there, but if you don't feel well, you should go back to sleep soon."
He Yuzhou smiled slightly, leaned over and kissed Qin Huan and said, "Okay."
Knowing that He Yuzhou could not be stopped, Nu Yi followed behind He Yuzhou.
He Yuzhou wanted to tell him not to follow, but this man was very stubborn, and He Yuzhou had nothing to do with him, so he left him alone.
He found Uncle Zhao again and went to the town. He Yuzhou didn't go to Lu's mansion, but came to Uncle An's cloth shop, trying to find Lu Zhuoxi through Uncle An.
After hearing He Yuzhou's words, Uncle An was very surprised: "Didn't the young master go to the capital the day before yesterday?"
"what……"
He Yuzhou was astonished: "But people in the Lu residence said that Lu Zhuoxi thanked guests behind closed doors."
"Oh, yes, there is such a thing." Uncle An suddenly realized it, and explained with a smile: "The young master came back and wanted to rest for two days, so he kept telling the servants that if someone visits, thank them behind closed doors. Perhaps the servant did not know about the matter between the girl and the young master, so he also blocked the girl at the door."
As he said that, Uncle An said with a smile: "But there's nothing you can do now, the young master has already left, what's the girl looking for him for?"
He Yuzhou didn't know where to start talking to Uncle An, so he could only ask, "Young Master Lu went to the capital...to become an official?"
"Even this, the young master told you." Uncle An was amazed, and then slowly said: "Yes, the young master finally thought about it, his talent shouldn't be buried here, before, my wife and I persuaded him At that time, he was unwilling to go, saying that he was not in good health, and he was worried about the Lu family, but now... he has figured it out by himself, and it is very good."
Uncle An's face was full of joy, and He Yuzhou's throat was suffocated. He couldn't tell the real reason why he became an official, so he could only politely say: "Uncle An thinks so, Young Master Lu really went to become an official to show off his ambitions?" "
"What do you mean, girl?" Uncle An looked at He Yuzhou with a smile: "Master figured it out, of course it's only for himself, maybe it's for the sake of others."
He pointedly said, and said: "Even if he wants to do it for others, Madam will not allow it."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, which meant that they all knew about Lu Zhuoxi...
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Uncle An say: "Miss, don't worry... the young master will be fine, he has me and my wife, but the girl, her pale complexion may be due to illness. If you are sick, you should rest at home. "
He Yuzhou lowered his head when he heard the words: "Yes, it's time to rest at home."
Talking in a daze, he smiled politely at Uncle An, turned around and left the cloth shop.
Lu Zhuoxi went to the capital...he couldn't stop it...
But Uncle An said he was doing it for his own ambition, really?
"The young master will be fine, he has me and his wife."
Recalling Uncle An's words, He Yuzhou laughed sadly. Did he mean to tell him not to worry about it.
What should he do?
"Qi Yan, what do you think I should do?" He Yuzhou turned around and asked, but he woke up suddenly when he met the surprised gaze of the man in black.
Almost forgot, Qi Yan left without saying goodbye...
He Yuzhou returned home in a daze, and the man behind him followed suit.
He Yuzhou looked at him, thinking about Qi Yan, he couldn't help asking: "Your master... did you say anything else before leaving?"
Nu Yi thought for a while, then shook his head: "He only asks his subordinates to take care of you until he comes back to find you."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you...stay in the room."
