204、I have a little heartache
Others don't know why Lu Ningxiang likes raising cats, dogs, and a bunch of ducklings since she was a child.
No one knew that she had always been allergic to fluff, so she couldn't come into contact with small animals too much.
The meals in the inner house are prepared separately for each room, and Lu Ningxiang will throw away half of the meals brought by the kitchen of the second room to feed her pets.
Then he sat on the side, holding his chin with his hands, and waited quietly for the cats and dogs to finish eating before he dared to eat a little bit.
This habit continued from the time she entered the Lu family mansion at the age of nine, until she was finally able to support herself at the age of 16.
People in the second room of the Lu family all spread rumors behind their backs that the young lady from the Lu family was a picky eater and had a bad temper.
Lu Ningxiang never defended herself.
She didn't forget, just ate a piece of pastry from her own house, and she suffered from abdominal pain all night, which almost made her die of pain.
Not to mention, during the Chinese New Year, the fireworks and firecrackers outside the courtyard wall would inexplicably shoot at herself inside the wall, hurting her left eye to the point of blindness.
How much viciousness and danger can be hidden behind a mouthful of food and a cup of tea?
Fortunately, I met the master Han Damei, that unreliable perverted old sister Yu... Although the other party also likes to have nothing to do, she takes pleasure in cheating her apprentice.
But it made Lu Ningxiang no longer worry about her life.
As the days passed and Lu Ningxiang grew up day by day, those little tricks that were not seen in the light had lost their effect on her.
The second lady of the Lu family saw it and was very anxious. After Lu Ningxiang passed the 16-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, she "kindly" arranged a marriage for her.
After all, no one wants to see the daughter of the enemy getting better and better, and even being favored by the head of the Lu family.
She no longer expects to secretly kill Lu Ningxiang, she just wants to marry her off as soon as possible, so that she won't be an eyesore.
Wu Junhao, the youngest of the Wu family, was chosen not because he valued his behind-the-scenes status as the leader of the Wu family.
What's more, it's because this young master of the Wu family has a very bad reputation, he's a seasoned veteran of flowers, and he's a jackal in his lust.
It is said that as soon as he came back from abroad to pay a funeral for Mr. Wu, he couldn't wait to get confused with the "aunts" left behind by Mr. Wu.
Marrying Lu Ningxiang over, even if she is a regular wife, is doomed to have a difficult life in the future.
Also being a woman, the second wife of the Lu family is naturally very clear.
How much a doomed tragic marriage has hurt a lonely and helpless woman.
"Fourth brother..."
The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, Lu Ningxiang walked out of the reception hall, and went silently to her small courtyard.
At the other end of the corridor, someone was standing under the lamp looking at the moon. She was slightly startled, then laughed and shouted.
"Are you busy talking about marriage again?"
Lu Yichen frowned unabashedly, and said: "I greeted my mother and Aunt Zhao, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
"Well, everything is fine."
Lu Ningxiang nodded, and stood side by side with Lu Yichen, also looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
"When you couldn't sleep when you were young, I took you to the roof to watch the moon, do you remember?"
Pointing to an attic in the southwest corner of the yard, Lu Yichen said with a sigh, "Time flies by, and before you know it, you are going to get married, third sister."
"Yeah, it's so fast, fourth brother, you're married too."
Lu Ningxiang's wonderful eyes were in a trance for a while, and she also said a word of emotion.
"I never had a chance to ask you, is there a boy you like in your heart?"
Looking sideways at his cousin's snow-white side face, Lu Yichen suppressed the fiery feeling in his heart and asked with a dry smile.
Secular ethics predestined that he and the other party would not be able to get together, no matter how much they admired, they could only be buried deep in their hearts and could not be shown to others.
"……No."
Lu Ningxiang's pretty face flushed, she squinted at Lu Yichen coquettishly, and then quickly shook her head.
For some reason, she suddenly thought of the country youth in the Chenjia Village Health Center.
Thinking of how he exchanged all his merit points into antidote capsules to save people, and then he could only watch his father die...
Maybe, just feel a little distressed for him?
Lu Ningxiang comforted herself silently, suddenly Hao's wrist tightened, but Lu Yichen grabbed her.
"Third sister, let's go, leave the Lu family, leave Jinling, go where you want to go, and never come back."
Lu Yichen stared at Lu Ningxiang, and said in a deep voice, hoping to see the true feelings in the eyes of the other party.
It's a pity that Lu Ningxiang was only stunned for a moment, then silently withdrew her hand, lowered her head and chuckled, "Where can I... go?"
She turned around and left, saying: "It's late at night, fourth brother should go to bed early."
As Qian Ying went away, Lu Yichen withdrew his gaze, panting slightly, and was able to suppress the anger in his heart by leaning on the pillars of the porch.
At the moment when he held Lu Ningxiang's wrist just now, he really wanted to express his feelings...but he still hesitated.
With a bright future and the reputation accumulated over the years, it is absolutely impossible to give up in vain just for a mere relationship.
boom!
Lu Yichen slapped the corridor pillar hard, then took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards his small courtyard.
"Leave... She is not dead, how can I leave Jinling, leave the Lu family?"
Stepping on the ground full of moon frost, Lu Ningxiang walked back to the courtyard lightly with her hands behind her back.
The ducklings in the duck shed huddled together, sleeping soundly, and a few kittens and puppies snuggled up to each other, lying lazily under the eaves.
Lu Ningxiang gently pushed open the door, only to see two personal servant girls sitting by the window and dozing off by the small stove. The fragrance of lotus seed soup warming on the stove was overflowing, permeating the entire greenhouse.
"Go to sleep, don't watch over me."
After drinking the lotus seed soup and waking up the two sleepy-eyed little girls, Lu Ningxiang returned to the bedroom, opened the secret compartment of the closet, and found out a set of black bodysuits.
She was very upset tonight and wanted to hit someone... So she changed into this light suit and tied her hair into a neat ponytail.
Putting on the big black mask that covered half of her face, Lu Ningxiang opened the window and climbed over the wall.
That night, many underground casinos, usury stalls, and underground black boxing venues in Jinling City were single-handedly turned over and smashed.
In addition to the heavy loss, it also caused various forces to speculate and blame each other, making the Jinling area turbulent and chaotic...
At noon the next day, the gate of a certain prison in the suburbs of Jinling opened abruptly, revealing a man carrying a small travel bag.
Green stubble hair, a half-worn casual suit, the style has been outdated for more than ten years, and it has a musty smell of the old era.
"Qi Laobing, go out and live a good life."
The prison officer behind him almost patted the man on the shoulder, and the latter nodded silently, staring up at the high hanging sun, squinting his eyes for a while.
The big iron gate behind him had been closed, and he lowered his eyes, burying his head and walking along the road in the bright sunlight.
Eighteen years of prison reform transformed him from a young man in his prime into the middle-aged man he is now.
The sunshine was still exactly the same as the day he was imprisoned, and it was so dazzling that people couldn't keep their eyes open.
But as for him, it seems that a part of his life was snatched out of thin air, and he lived the same life day after day in an iron box.
"Brother Bing, this way!"
Someone yelled in the distance ahead, and Qi Laobing looked up, and saw a dilapidated van parked at the fork in the road, with a chicken nest protruding from the cab, and it was grinning and waving at it.
"...Huako?"
Having not seen each other for more than ten years, Qi Laobing only felt that the other party's face seemed familiar, and walked up to look at it for a long time, and then asked with some uncertainty.
"Hey, Brother Bing was released from prison today. I just finished delivering the courier, so I came to pick you up."
Ji Wotou pushed the passenger door open, and said with a smile, "Don't look, the brothers left early, and I came alone."
Qi Laobing nodded silently, threw the small travel bag in his hand in the back row, then sat in the passenger seat, took the cigarette handed by Hua Zi, rubbed it gently between his fingers, but did not light it.
"Let's take a bath first, get a massage, get rid of bad luck, and then go have a good drink!"
Huazi started the car while talking cheerfully.
Qi Laobing looked up at his calloused hands, and said, "Didn't I leave you a sum of money before I went in?"
"Hey, it's all been confiscated. Fortunately, we can still deliver couriers. People like us have a criminal record, and it's not easy to do other things..."
Huazi said casually, Qi Laobing's thin, sallow face twitched slightly, and the scar on his forehead was a little red.
"...Do you know where Luo Shengqiang is?"
Raising his hand to touch the hollows at the corners of his eyes, Qi Laobing said indifferently: "It's the intern officer who hit me."
Back then, it was that damned petty official who was desperate to get shot. He used the bottom of the fire extinguisher bottle and smashed himself off the motorcycle.
Otherwise, if he successfully escaped from the city and then smuggled abroad, at least he wouldn't have to endure the disaster of being in prison for more than ten years, right?
"Ah... I didn't pay much attention, it seems that I was transferred to some police station in Shifang County."
Huazi turned his head and looked at Qi Laobing, a little puzzled: "It's been more than ten years, brother Bing, why do you still remember that bastard?"
"Nothing, just asking casually."
Qi Laobing shook his head, lowered his eyes, but the corners of his eyes twitched violently.
How can it be more than ten years?
Could it be...should we let him go?
