Chapter 253
Fu Tingzhou stopped in front of the door and didn't go in. He closed his eyes, and the ink on the desk, the ancient books on the bookshelf, and the ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion appeared in front of him. Everything stays the same, as if someone is still using them.
As long as he didn't open the door, he wouldn't see the dust accumulated on the bookshelf, and the room was filled with desolation. He could deceive himself, and she was still there.
Coming from the southern tour, Fu Tingzhou has less and less courage to open the door. He used their ten years of memory to save Wang Yanqing, but she didn't trust him, she would rather trust a strange man.
Yes, he doesn't even know what Wang Yanqing likes to eat, why should Wang Yanqing believe him?
Fu Tingzhou stood in front of the door and didn't move for a long time. Footsteps came from behind, and someone coughed deliberately. Fu Tingzhou looked back indifferently, and when he saw the person coming, his face became a little better.
At this time, he didn't like others to disturb him, but it was her former maid Jade, and Fu Tingzhou was willing to be more patient. Fu Tingzhou asked, "What are you doing here?"
Feicui saluted Fu Tingzhou and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, the servants have all the things you asked the servants to prepare. When will they be delivered to the girl?"
Fu Tingzhou was slightly stunned when he heard Feicui's words. After he rescued Wang Yanqing on the southern tour, but was beaten down by Lu Heng, Fu Tingzhou immediately sent people to prepare witnesses and evidence when he returned to the capital. With so much evidence to corroborate it, he would have to see how Lu Heng could sophistry. He had been preparing for so long, but now he hesitated.
Even if he proves that Lu Heng is fake, what is the use of breaking Wang Yanqing's dream? After the marriage decree was promulgated, Fu Tingzhou was ashamed to let Wang Yanqing go back to the Marquis Mansion of Zhenyuan. If she were to be placed in a house outside, what would she be?
No matter how well he concealed it and how tightly guarded it was, he couldn't prevent Lu Heng or the Hong family. If Fu Tingzhou ignores her for the sake of being happy for a while, and doesn't mention her status, I'm afraid she won't be able to give her even the most basic security.
What qualifications does he have to meet Wang Yanqing and let her go with him?
Fu Tingzhou was silent for a moment in the wind, and finally shook his head very slowly. The short two words were like a big deal: "Forget it."
Not to mention Lu Heng, he didn't even have the ability to compete with Yongping Houfu. Let's talk about these things when he comes back from the battlefield and has enough strength to protect her.

Because the prince died young, the whole capital was quiet and did not dare to attract the emperor's eyes. The twelfth lunar month in the 12th year of Jiajing passed very peacefully, but under the turbulent appearance, there was a violent change of power.
The first assistant Zhang Jinggong was suspended, and Fu Tingzhou, the marquis of Zhenyuan, went to Datong to lead the troops. On December 20th, Fu Tingzhou left the capital, and on December 24th, the imperial court had a holiday.
Officials of the whole dynasty ushered in a long vacation of nearly a month, and Lu Heng rarely had a few days of leisure. This year the emperor was in a bad mood and no one dared to cause trouble. Lu Heng was fortunate to have had a very clean year.
There are only two masters, Wang Yanqing and Lu Heng, in the Lu Mansion in the capital. There are no relatives to deal with, and there is no big family that pays attention to the rules. You can come as you feel comfortable. Wang Yanqing came to Lu Heng and handed him a list: "Brother, this is the menu for this year's New Year's Eve, what do you think?"
Lu Heng didn't care about what to eat, he only cared about whether it was poisonous or not. Lu Heng took it over and glanced at it. The dishes are quite satisfactory, the taste is light and healthy, and it is not easy to be poisoned, so he nodded and said, "Yes, just follow this arrangement."
Seeing Lu Heng's actions, Wang Yanqing snorted softly, "You didn't even see it."
These words have been repeated over and over again, and the ending is even more prolonged and aggravated, full of accusations. Seeing her pouting and staring at people, Lu Heng's heart melted. He stretched out his hand to the other side of the table, held Wang Yanqing's hand, and said with a smile, "I saw it. As long as it is arranged by you, I like it."
Wang Yanqing gestured and drew her hands, but she couldn't break free from Lu Heng's strength. She raised her eyes and gave him a hard look: "Perfunctory."
"Really not." Lu Heng felt that the short one in the middle was a hindrance, so he switched to the other side and sat down next to Wang Yanqing, "Qingqing is perfect, whatever you do is good. Can the dishes you choose be bad?"
Lu Heng's eyes are slightly lighter in color than others, like a puddle of water, shimmering in the sun. When he's not smiling, he always smiles three times. At this moment, he is still wrapping Wang Yanqing's hand and looking at Wang Yanqing with serious eyes. A very slick sentence, when he said it, it was very demagogic.
Wang Yanqing couldn't help but bring a smile to her lips. She pulled out her hand and put away the menu, sighing, "After all, there are too few people in the house. The New Year's Eve dinner is too extravagant, and it is less deserted, no matter how you arrange it."
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "It's just the two of us, isn't it?"
"It's not bad, it's just that I feel empty, and I don't feel like a New Year's Eve."
Wang Yanqing didn't feel like it was a New Year's Eve, but this was not enough. Lu Heng asked, "Then we went out?"
Wang Yanqing shook his head, his face still showing no interest: "The restaurant is too noisy, and the dishes may not be relieved, there is no need."
Lu Heng clenched Wang Yanqing's hand and said, "You can do whatever you want. You don't have to save money for me. You can't be unhappy during the holidays. What do you want to do?"
Wang Yanqing's eyes moved, thinking of something, and pursing his lower lip in embarrassment. Seeing her movement, Lu Heng immediately said, "Don't move."
Wang Yanqing was taken aback and looked at Lu Heng with wide eyes, not daring to move. Lu Heng wrapped her hands around her cheeks and said solemnly, "I have been studying with you these days, and I have also learned a lot of the ability to observe words and expressions. Don't say it, let me guess what you are thinking now. You blink, you must be thinking of it. What, but I find it troublesome, and I'm afraid I won't agree, so I'm embarrassed to say it, right?"
