Chapter 16
Wang Yanqing didn't pay attention to Lingxi Lingluan, all her attention was on Lu Heng. When she heard this title, she instinctively felt discordant: "You call me sister?"
"Yes." Lu Heng smiled and touched her hair affectionately, "Don't you remember second brother?"
Chapter 6 Ome
When Wang Yanqing heard the word "Second Brother", her eyebrows twitched, like a drowning man who was drowning with no support, grabbing the driftwood, but she always felt that the driftwood was not the way to go ashore. Lu Heng sat beside the room, the two were very close, Wang Yanqing stared into his eyes and repeated hesitantly, "Second brother?"
"Yeah." Lu Heng's eyes were as gentle as lakes, and seemed very sad because of her hesitation, "You don't even remember me?"
Lu Heng's expression was so sincere, Wang Yanqing felt a little embarrassed when faced with this look at close range: "No, second brother, I just..."
Lu Heng covered Wang Yanqing's hand, his slender and powerful palm tightened, silently and firmly accommodating Wang Yanqing: "It's okay, you don't need to explain it to me. I have heard about your illness, it's not your fault that you lose your memory, you are right to all Everyone is wary, this is a good thing, how can I be willing to blame you?"
His palm is warm and firm, making people want to rely on him unconsciously. After waking up, Wang Yanqing's dazed and frightened heart seems to have found a parking spot, and his position unknowingly leans towards him: "Second brother..."
Lu Heng stroked her hair with a smile, tidied up the hair on the side of her face, and said with relief, "You'll be fine. It was me who neglected my duty and failed to protect you, causing you to be ambushed and lose your memory."
Wang Yanqing heard the information and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's a long story." Lu Heng's fingers lingered across her face and finally landed on the back of Wang Yanqing's hand. His hands were much larger than Wang Yanqing's, and his two hands were closed together, and he easily surrounded her slender jade hands. Lu Heng gently rubbed her wrist with his fingertips and asked, "Do you remember your name?"
Wang Yanqing shook his head, and Lu Heng said, "It's okay, I remember it all, and I'll tell you our story. My name is Lu Heng, and now I'm the commander of Jinyiwei, temporarily acting as the commander. Your name is Wang Yanqing, Datong. The daughter of Wang’s family in the military household, your father Wang Cong died in battle when you were seven years old. Your grandmother, Li’s, died of illness on the tenth day of the fifth month of the same year. You became an orphan. Your father was in Datong to supervise the war. He really couldn’t bear it, so he took you back to the Lu family. I was twelve years old when you came to the Lu family. Two, so you follow them and call me second brother."
Lu Heng's tone was soft, with some nostalgia in his calm voice, and Lingxi Lingluan almost thought it was true. The highest level of lying is to tell the truth. Wang Yanqing's life experience is true, and Lu Song's experience as an overseer is also true, but the northwest line of defense is so long that Lu Song doesn't know Wang Cong at all, so why adopt an orphan of the Wang family?
What's more, Jin Yiwei lived a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife. Lu Song's aptitude was mediocre, but he was cautious. He would never bring an unrelated woman back to the Lu family. However, Lu Song had passed away, and Wang Yanqing didn't know this. She was touched by Lu Heng's language, and some vague sensations appeared in the back of her mind.
She didn't see the slightest sign of lying on Lu Heng's face, and her emotions such as sadness and gratitude were also confirmed. Wang Yanqing had no doubts and immediately accepted that this was her second brother: "Second brother, why do I lose my memory? "
Lu Heng sighed, with guilt in his eyes, and said, "It's my fault. Some time ago, I had some conflicts with Jingcheng Xungui because of the Nancheng soldiers and horses. Those people were daring and reckless, and they were on your way to incense. Set up an ambush. I was in Nanzhen Fusi that day, and I didn't go out with you, I didn't expect..."
Lu Heng's voice stopped, his thin lips pursed lightly, his eyes were deep, and he still couldn't seem to forgive himself. Wang Yanqing comforted Lu Heng in turn, and said, "Second brother, don't blame yourself. You only have to be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't prevent a thief for a thousand days. They plan against it, and they will always find an opportunity. Am I okay?"
Lu Heng looked at Wang Yanqing and smiled, his amber eyes narrowed slightly, more like a bottle of wine, and he was enchanted: "Yes, fortunately you are all right."
After Wang Yanqing found out that she was in a coma, the only people she saw were Lu Heng and only a few maids. Wang Yanqing felt uneasy in her heart, and asked tentatively, "Second brother, why didn't you see anyone else? Did I cause trouble to the manor?"
Everyone in the capital said that Lu Heng had a bad heart and would be punished in the future. Lu Heng knew how to scold him in the market, he was not guilty, he still went his own way, and the confession came at will. He lied to Wang Yanqing, his eyes did not waver from beginning to end, but hearing Wang Yanqing's words at this moment, he felt distressed for such a heartless person.
She didn't even remember her own name, but she instinctively flattered the hostess in the mansion. How did the Fu family treat her all these years, why does a seventeen-year-old girl live so carefully.
Lu Heng held her hand tightly and used his actions to give her confidence: "My father died this year, my brother and mother have both returned to the ancestral house to observe filial piety, I was going to leave, but the emperor took love and ordered me not to keep filial piety and continue to stay. I worked in the capital, and you and I stayed. Now there are only the two of us in the Lu Mansion, and I am often away from home. You can make your own decisions if you have anything, so don’t worry about it.”
