Chapter 104: Substitute
Chapter 104 Alternative
"Oh? What about going to the yamen?"
Xia Han looked at her, her tone of voice still patient, but the smile in her eyes faded a lot.
Facing such a pair of eyes that looked the same as usual, somehow Lu suddenly regretted bringing it up.
But it has already started, so I can only continue.
Furthermore, the empathetic husband in her heart will certainly not blame her-she accidentally does something wrong on weekdays, and her husband never gets angry, let alone this time she is thinking about him.
Thinking about this, Lu's heart had enough confidence and watched her husband preach: "I went to meet Xu Ying. I wanted to persuade her to change her mouth in front of others, and return her second master to be innocent... But who knows she doesn't know how to repent. , Refused to listen."
Although the public opinion outside has changed, many people still take a wait-and-see attitude because of Xu Ying's persistence.
She thought that by letting Xu Ying come forward to clarify the matter as soon as possible, she would be able to eliminate those negative speculations among the population as soon as possible.
"Did you meet Xu Ying?"
Xia Han's tone became colder unconsciously, and the expression in her eyes mocked and puzzled.
Why didn’t he always realize that his wife likes to be so self-assertive?
Furthermore, persuade Xu Ying to change her mouth?
Such a stupid idea, thanks to her being able to imagine it.
Lu Shi was disturbed by the look in his eyes, but he could only nod his head: "Yes..."
"Who allowed you to see her?"
Xia Han smiled inexplicably: "This matter will only be reviewed after the review, and everything will be revealed. What is the difference between your troublesome visit to her and a guilty conscience? In the eyes of outsiders, how would you treat this matter? Have you ever thought about the troubles these might bring?"
"Second Lord, I..."
Lv Shi was startled by his somewhat aggressive questioning, opened his mouth, was speechless for a while, and took two steps back subconsciously.
Xia Han approached her, her tall figure cast a shadow over her.
Lu Shi slightly tightened his sleeves, only to feel as if someone had strangled his throat.
Xia Han looked at her for an instant, and asked in a low voice in an unclear mood, "What did Xu Ying say to you?"
Things he doesn't want others to know, if anyone dares to step through his boundaries to snoop, he has always been intolerable.
"Wh... she didn't say anything, she just said... I want to be fair..." Lu's body was tight, and he dared not even mention Xu Su with her husband.
Xia Han stared at her, condescendingly.
Lu Shi almost didn't dare to move.
She couldn’t tell why she was so frightened. It was clear that her husband was calm and not angry...
But it made her feel...The person in front of me at this time, and the husband she knew, looked like two completely different people!
"Second Master, what's wrong..."
Lü Shi only felt that he was about to suffocate, smiled reluctantly, and plucked up the courage to ask.
The scrutiny in Xia Han's eyes slowly faded.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm too tired these two days."
He thought that Xu Ying was rescued, and this incident could be easily corrected. As long as everything was carried out according to his plan, this matter would not affect his life.
But at the Imperial Academy today, he still endured too many veiled gazes.
For a long time, he has divided his life into two. On the bright side, he has done everything that the second son of the Xia family should do well. He, without the slightest blemish, has always accepted the respect and envy of everyone.
In the dark, he just wants to do what he really wants to do.
But now, this clear boundary has been suddenly broken and confused!
This uncontrollable feeling made him very irritable, and he couldn't even calm down and continue to do what the "Second Son of Xia Family" should do.
Especially when I suddenly learned that even the always good wife has started to trouble him with cleverness, and maybe even heard things from Xu Ying that she shouldn’t know about——
Everything seems to be getting out of control.
Xia Han's heart was overwhelmed, but she seemed a little frightened when she saw the wife in front of him. He moved his eyes down and paused for a moment on her bulging abdomen. Then he raised his hand and gently held her shoulders and smiled at her.
The smile is far from reaching the bottom of the eye.
"Yao'er, these things are handled by the government. You are still pregnant. Why don't you relax and keep your body healthy-be more obedient, okay?"
Lv’s head nodded as naturally as possible, as if this would make it business as usual.
She smiled reluctantly, and stretched out her hand to gently support her husband’s arm: “Since the second master is tired, why don’t I come and wait for the second master to rest earlier?”
Xia Han pulled out his arm and said, "Leave these things to the maid."
Lü Shi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly summoned his personal maid to come in and wait for him to change his clothes.
After Xia Han rested, she went outside to sit down and received the warm tea from the maid, only to realize that her fingers were trembling slightly.
After eating a cup of tea, Lu's face gradually returned to normal.
But my heart became more and more confused, and Xu Ying's words continued to echo in my mind.
Why would my husband be so abnormal because she went to meet Xu Ying?
Just think she is troublesome?
Still saying...Do you want her to know something about Xu Su?
She is not someone who can't rub the sand in her eyes, but her husband's abnormality is too obvious, not to mention... her husband's reaction tonight made her fully realize that she is most likely just Xu Su's substitute.
A substitute, can it really last?
Xu Su...will he come back?
More and more thoughts made Lu fall into great unwillingness and anxiety.
No, she cannot accept everything passively like this...
She must find out the causes and consequences of Xu Su’s matter before she can respond!
Lu Shi sat in the hall for a long time, until he was sure that his husband had fallen asleep, he got up and left the front hall.
The personal maid hurriedly followed, and whispered: "When does the young grandma tell the slaves to do it..."
"No, I can't sleep. I will pick a few books in Erye's study."
The maid walked into the study room and lit the lamp when she heard the words.
The wind was strong outside the room, and the maid closed the door.
Lv Shi pretended to pick a few books and hugged them in his arms, but with the other hand, he quietly pushed away the secret grid behind the bookshelf.
This hidden grid was discovered earlier by her.
There is a box in there.
She thought that there were secret letters and other things stored in the box, but after opening it, she realized that it was not like this...
At this time, she opened the box again with her nervous hand trembling.
Sure enough, that thing is still...
After confirmed, Lu hurriedly closed the box and put it back.
She sat in the study and read the history books for half an hour, but she really read very few words.
got up and put the book back to its original place. After Lu left the study, he confessed to the maid: "Don’t mention that I have been to the study with the second master."
The maid was unknown, but she nodded immediately.
The light in the study room behind him was extinguished, and Lu looked back and made a decision in his heart.
Tomorrow, she is going to a place.
……
It's late at night.
Listening to the even snoring of the grandmother outside, Xu Ying closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.
At this moment, the sound of very light and fast footsteps suddenly entered into the ears.
She opened her eyes suddenly, and subconsciously fumbled for the copper hairpin under the pillow.
Thank you for your monthly pass, good morning I wish you all a good mood today.
