The eldest lady is reborn, get out of the way!

Jiang Lingyun looked at Achan with a slightly stunned expression and her heart trembled.

A huge stone hit her heart: Isn't this the end?

If Achan had no interest in Lu Qingxiao at all, how could this be?

Jiang Zhiyue asked immediately, "How did you know that, sister?"

Jiang Lingyun looked at Jiang Zhiyue suspiciously and was about to ask again, but felt that if she pushed too hard, Achan would definitely not admit it.

She thought about it and told her her guess: "Back then, Xie Fu was the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Xie, and the princess was interested in her, but as soon as the news came out, Xie Fu immediately decided to be the Prince of Pingxi County."

"From then until now, there has been no woman around Lu Qingxiao, and he has never had any interest in anyone."

Jiang Zhiyue understood, "So, sister thinks the young general hasn't married yet because of Xie Fu?"

Jiang Lingyun raised her eyebrows: "I'm not the only one who thinks so. Even Xie Fu herself implies this in her words and deeds."

"Something like, 'I've failed the princess's kindness, my husband and I are deeply in love.'"

Jiang Zhiyue nodded. So, Lu Qingxiao is still a lovesick man?

Jiang Lingyun was unsure of Achan's thoughts for a moment. What did this nod mean?

"My marriage is naturally decided by my grandmother and father, just like my brothers and sisters."

Just when Jiang Lingyun was hesitating whether to ask again, Jiang Zhiyue suddenly spoke.

Jiang Lingyun looked at her sister and said, "If you have someone you like, my sister and brother will definitely help you find out their character."

"My judgment of people may not be accurate." Jiang Zhiyue smiled, but the smile seemed a bit forced.

Jiang Lingyun paused, feeling endless heartache in her heart. She stood up, hugged her sister in her arms, and leaned over to rub her slightly.

"Achan, don't doubt yourself."

"It was just a dream, don't take it seriously. You have your sister's support, your father and grandmother, so many people will protect you, don't be afraid."

Jiang Zhiyue raised her hands and hugged her back, burying her head in her arms, greedily absorbing the warmth: "Yes, I know."

"If you really like Lu Qingxiao and want to marry him..."

"No." Jiang Zhiyue looked up: "When Shuhelou saved me, I was indeed moved. But I think that should not be considered a love between a man and a woman."

"It just feels so coincidental that the handsome brother back then turned out to be him."

Jiang Lingyun touched Jiang Zhiyue's long hair, she didn't know what to say.

Judging from the fact that Lu Qingxiao took the initiative to save Achan several times, he is indeed a calm and reliable person.

But he cares about others, so how could she bear to see Achan suffer such an injustice?

No matter who you like, don’t like someone who already has someone in love, not to mention that Lu Qingxiao is still unmarried because of Xie Fu.

She couldn't even imagine how deep this friendship was, let alone let Achan like such a person.

Jiang Zhiyue hugged her sister again and whispered, "Don't worry, sister. I won't."

She would never fall in love with someone who already has someone else in his heart. Duan Hongyu in her previous life was a good lesson for her.

There are so many good men in the world, why bother looking at that one.

Lu Qingxiao is a very good person, but it’s just a childhood friendship.

-

When he returned to the capital after paying homage to Cen Mo, he just happened to catch the last moment of closing.

Zhang He said goodbye and went back home first. Lu Guichi looked at Lu Qingxiao and said, "Brother?"

Lu Qingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Speak."

"Look, mother has sent someone to pick us up." Lu Guichi pointed with his whip, and it happened to be the figure of the Lu family's chief steward in front of him.

Chief Steward Lu also saw the brothers Lu Qingxiao and Lu Guichi, and stepped forward respectfully: "Hello, gentlemen. Madam sent an old servant to ask whether the eldest young master is coming back to the mansion for dinner?"

Manager Lu's words were very skillful, and Lu Qingxiao immediately understood that Second Aunt wanted to see him again.

Lu Qingxiao nodded, "Yes."

Lu Guichi felt that Lu Qingxiao was a little cold at the moment from his concise words.

After returning to the General's Mansion, Butler Lu asked Lu Qingxiao to go to the study first, saying that General Lu was waiting for him.

Lu Guichi wanted to go too, but was stopped by Lu Zongguan: "The general only wants to see the eldest son, so the second son should go see the lady."

Lu Guichi glanced at Lu Qingxiao, nodded, and left first.

Lu Qingxiao came to General Lu's study again. This time, General Lu was not drinking alcohol, but drinking tea.

General Lu called Lu Qingxiao to come and sit down. Lu Qingxiao walked over slowly and sat down.

"I've gone to check. Is he okay?" General Lu looked at Lu Qingxiao.

Lu Qingxiao nodded: "Everything is the same as before. As long as the county government takes care of it, it's fine."

General Lu wanted to pour tea for Lu Qingxiao, but was stopped by Lu Qingxiao. So he stopped and watched Lu Qingxiao pour tea for him.

At the same time, he bluntly said, "You don't want to get married because you're worried that if you can't come back one day, you don't want to have another widow like Li Sanniang?"

Lu Qingxiao paused while pouring the tea and the tea almost spilled out.

Fortunately, General Lu was quick-witted and managed to steady the teapot for Lu Qingxiao.

He took the teapot from Lu Qingxiao and put it down steadily: "Answer me, yes and no."

Lu Qingxiao was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

"Then have you ever thought about how sad your parents would be who raised you?" General Lu frowned.

Lu Qingxiao lowered his eyes, as if all his strength had been drained away: "If that day ever comes, I will owe my parents for raising me."

General Lu suddenly laughed, "I used to think the same as you."

Lu Qingxiao slowly raised his head and looked at General Lu.

General Lu said cheerfully, "Later, I met someone whom I only wanted to marry. All I thought about was that I must survive and spend the rest of my life with her."

Lu Qingxiao remained silent, and the coldness between his eyebrows dissipated a lot.

"But this is not an exhortation to you." General Lu said, "The following words are what she asked me to exhort you to say."

"Everyone lives and dies. We know today, this moment, but we don't know what the future will bring, let alone natural disasters or man-made disasters."

"If you don't want to get married because you're afraid of dying on the battlefield, and you don't want to leave regrets for others..."

"What about the peddlers?"

There was some confusion in Lu Qingxiao's eyes: "Second Uncle...what do you mean?"

General Lu was impatient and said with a click of his tongue: "I knew you couldn't understand it."

Lu Qingxiao glanced at him and said, "Don't beat around the bush. Second Auntie definitely didn't tell you that."

General Lu said "Hey" and was overjoyed: "Did you know it was your second aunt?"

Lu Qingxiao was too lazy to talk. If it weren't for his second aunt, no one could have asked his second uncle to say such flowery words.

General Lu saw this and said with a smile: "My understanding is that you think you can win a few battles, but you can't decide the life and death of others by yourself."

"Someone might be struck by lightning while walking on the road, or break their neck after falling down, or die after not being cured. There are many such cases."

"How can you not get married just because you are afraid of death?"

The veins on Lu Qingxiao's forehead were throbbing wildly, and he gritted his teeth: "I'm not afraid of death!"
