If You Can't Be A Son-In-Law, You Have To Become A Saint

Chapter 71 The Gift of the High

In the alley, the wild cat on the blue eaves walked cautiously on its feet.

He stopped from time to time, raised his tail, and looked at the two people in the alley.

Lu Jing and Nan Xuehu, one in the alley and the other outside the alley.

Nan Xuehu stood tall with his hands behind his back.

Lu Jing turned around to look at him with calm eyes.

This alley is indeed a little deserted, silent, except for the swaying of the branches, there is only the sound of wild cats.

Lu Jing stared at Nan Xuehu for only two or three breaths, then nodded slowly, but did not turn around and leave, just waiting quietly in the alley.

Seeing Lu Jing's reaction, Nan Xuehu smiled and walked into the alley.

The two walked side by side toward the depths of the alley.

Today's Nan Xuehu is not domineering, just like a handsome nobleman.

And Lu Jing next to him is also brilliant.

With a handsome appearance, black hair casually tied behind her back, giving off a faint luster, coupled with a jade body, the name of Lu Jing Xiao's mother is actually true.

It's just that Lu Jing's clothes are much more plain than Nan Xuehu's.

Many people can tell at a glance that the fabric of Lu Jing's clothes is also very ordinary, not the Wensi of Sanghuai Mansion, nor the fine cotton of Liuqing Mansion.

Especially when he walked with Nan Xuehu, compared to the brocade clothes he was wearing, it was far worse.

But even so, there was still no trace of embarrassment on Lu Jing's face.

The two walked slowly, and Nan Xuehu suddenly said: "It's actually a good thing that uncle has returned to Nanfu. With a man like Uncle, Nanfu will no longer be indifferent, and He Yu Chengjue will not need to hold a knife."

Lu Jing listened quietly.

Nan Xuehu continued: "In this way, the clan will probably not force her to marry, and maybe after a while, Nanfu will come to annul the engagement.

This is not a good thing for you, but it can make you more secure. "

Listening to Nan Xuehu's words, Lu Jing showed some curiosity on her face: "You don't want Nan Heyu to be the lord, and you don't want her to wear Nanfu's grass-cutting knife, isn't it for yourself?"

Nan Xuehu said frankly: "I am not worthy."

Lu Jing looked at him with curiosity still in his eyes.

If others asked Nan Xuehu such questions, Nan Xuehu would definitely frown and get angry.

But today, perhaps because Nan Xuehu felt ashamed of Lu Jing, he answered frankly: "I am just a concubine's son..."

"Is there any reason?" Lu Jing interrupted him, looking straight into Nan Xuehu's eyes: "If there is a concubine in the family, the concubine is naturally worthless, so you can be a rich man with peace of mind.

But the Nan family has no legitimate sons, you are the eldest son of the Duke's eldest son Nan Tinggui, and you are also talented, even a concubine's son is better than a woman's succession. "

Nan Xuehu was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "I am reckless and impulsive, but I am quite straightforward, I can be a lieutenant in the army, or even a general, but I can't be the Duke of Nanfu.

You don't understand this matter, and even I don't understand it. "

Only then did Lu Jing nod his head, and suddenly said: "So you came to the Lu Mansion to warn me that day, was it really just because of Nan Heyu?"

The two walked like this, silent for more than ten steps, and just about to speak, Lu Jing suddenly stopped and said to him: "You wait for me here, I will go in and get some things."

Nan Xuehu raised his head and saw that it was a cloth shop.

He took a careful look at Lu Jing, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

When other people see Nan Xuehu, even those nobles should respect him and never dare to neglect him.

But Lu Jing seemed a little tired.

After Lu Jing finished speaking, without even waiting for Nan Xuehu to answer, he went straight into Nabu Village.

Nan Xuehu could only wait for him outside Buzhuang.

Without waiting too long, Lu Jing brought out several well-wrapped parcels, which were entangled with twine, and held in his hand.

Seeing the package, Nan Xuehu said, "You should make some clothes, otherwise you won't look like a son of a rich family at all."

Lu Jing ignored him, just picked up the package high, and carefully trimmed the folds on it.

Nan Xuehu wanted to move forward, but Lu Jing turned around again. Nan Xuehu took a deep breath, recalling what he had done that day, so he endured the displeasure in his heart, and turned around with Lu Jing.

"He Yu is a year younger than me." Nan Xuehu looked forward, with nostalgia on his face: "My mother was always sick when I was young, and my father also invited many famous doctors to come over, but nothing worked.

When she was a child, He Yu was very kind-hearted, and always sent some excellent things. At that time, she was small, and she came here on tiptoe, bringing supplements collected from various places in the mansion.

Well... sometimes it's a tonic, sometimes it's a ridiculous little thing, but no matter what, there's always a heart in it. "

"She is not just like me and my mother, she is very kind to the elders and servants in the mansion, big and small.

Later, when she went to Yuxing Island, she picked a strange flower from somewhere.

My mother has been suffering from illnesses for many years, but after eating the decoction made from that flower, she got better like that. Up to now, she still manages those useless green plants in the mansion every day. "

"Now that I think about it, if it weren't for that flower, maybe my mother would have left me when I was sixteen..."

When Nan Xuehu said this, he turned his head and said to Lu Jing: "You are also a concubine, so you should know that you are in a noble mansion. Without your mother, you have nothing."

"Well... your situation may be worse than mine, at least my biological father is also kind."

If others are here, they will be surprised.

Because at this time Nan Xuehu spoke extremely slowly, and his eyes were surprisingly serious, not as violent as usual.

"I see."

Lu Jing also nodded slightly, and said with great emotion: "In this way, the reason why you can abandon the kindness in your bones and threaten me, an innocent person, is to clear the way for Nan Heyu, who was kind since childhood. .

Let her, as you said, walk on the road of pursuing the way of swordsmanship, with the primordial spirit shining on the stars, and the pure sun crossing the thunder calamity. "

"Such reasons are admirable to others."

When Lu Jing said this, the two happened to walk on a bridge.

Under the bridge is a branch of Zhutai River, named Kufeng River.

This place is already bustling and bustling, there are many tourists, and the scenery is also very beautiful.

In such a scene, Lu Jing's eyes gradually dimmed.

He looked at the river and said softly: "If others hear the reason for waiting, they will definitely praise Mr. Xuehu for his sincerity and nature. In order to protect his blood sister, he is willing to be a villain."

"But I am not someone else. I am the innocent person you used to repay the favor in the story you just told. From my standpoint, even if you have said so much today, I cannot admire you."

Nan Xuehu stood on the bridge, looking at the flowing water under the bridge: "I don't want you to admire me, nor am I asking you to forgive me.

I'm here today just to tell you that my man in Nanfu who can hold a knife has returned, and if he can divorce the engagement smoothly, I won't kill you again. "

"Nan Heyu is not a good destination for you. If you marry her, at most you will be a rich man for a lifetime, but you will be ridiculed and looked down upon by others.

If you can divorce, I will naturally give you property and money, so that you will have no worries in your next life. I will even go to the Lu Mansion personally to ask for the maid who came to live with you and give it to you, so that you will have no worries.

In this matter, I also know that you are innocent, but sometimes when you stand on a high place and look down, you can't consider whether the people below are innocent. I hope you understand. "

Lu Jing heard the meaning of Nan Xuehu's words.

If the engagement can be successfully divorced, Nan Xuehu will compensate him.

If not...

But what Nan Xuehu said just now, Lu Jing agreed with it very much.

He also nodded and said: "The fact is true, how can meat-eaters care about the innocent people in the lower places?"

"But Mr. Xuehu understands? Some people are standing in a low place now, but it doesn't mean that he will stand in a low place all his life."

"You talk so much to other people today, they may think you are sincere and ashamed, but I know that you are just here to understand your own thoughts, not for me, an innocent person, you It seems that you want to make up for me by saying those many words, but you are used to standing at a high place, but your tone is full of condescension.

Even not killing me seems like a gift to me. "

Lu Jing lowered her head and spoke slowly, her face remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, but her eyes became darker and unclear.

Nan Xuehu was silent and did not speak.

But Lu Jing suddenly said: "Now you don't want to kill me, but I want to kill you, Mr. Xuehu, what do you think?"

The silent Nan Xuehu also raised his head suddenly, looked at Lu Jing, and said calmly:

"You can't kill me, I can give you time to kill me."

Lu Jing's face was surprisingly serious, while bursts of golden lights were already flashing in his mind, and a lot of information had already risen up.
