Mingyue is ruthless

"Daddy."

A child's voice sounded in his ears, and Gu Mohuai followed the sound, and there was a child carved in pink and jade standing in front of him.

He rubbed his eyes in surprise, and said blankly: "... Jinu?"

Jinu smiled, and responded crisply: "Hey!"

"Yinu, you, how did you find this place." Gu Mohuai was both surprised and delighted, stepped forward, and stretched out his hand to him, "Come quickly, let Daddy see you..."

But Jinu suddenly suppressed his smile and turned sideways to avoid him.

Gu Mohuai was stunned, "Ji Nu..."

"Daddy doesn't want slaves, and slaves don't want daddy either."

"How could Daddy not want you—"

"That's who said that if you want to see the slave in this life."

A gust of wind passed by, and Jinu suddenly drifted away, Gu Mohuai was shocked, and hurriedly stepped up to catch up.

But there seemed to be an invisible mountain and sea between them, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring the distance closer.

Ji Nu looked at him from a distance, the childishness on his face disappeared, replaced by obvious indifference.

——That was the look one would have on a stranger.

Gu Mohuai stumbled and said anxiously: "Jiu——!"

"I'm not a slave."

"You are! Ji Nu, you are Daddy's child, your name is..."

"My name is Lu Huanchuan." Jinu held the hand of the person behind him, raised his head and asked, "Father, who is he? I have a father and a mother, why does he say that I am his child?"

Gu Mohuai followed his gaze, only to realize that there was a man and a woman standing behind Ji Nu at some point. The woman was completely unfamiliar to him, but the face of the other was exactly the same as a few years ago—it was Lu Zhongshu !

He bent down to pick up Jinu, and replied softly: "It's just a servant of the palace, Chuan'er, let's go back."

Jinu—— Chuan'er nodded, stretched out his hand to the woman in Chinese clothes, and said softly, "Mother hug!"

"Okay." The woman took him in response and smiled softly at the father and son.

"No...no, Ji Nu—" Seeing their "family of three" turn around and leave, Gu Mohuai panicked, and lost his voice: "Ji Nu! She's not..."

When the words came to his lips, Lu Zhongshu turned his head and cast a slight glance at him.

There was pity in that look—pity for his wretched struggle.

His lips were tightly closed, and he clearly didn't speak, but his voice was clearly transmitted to Gu Mohuai's ears——

"I gave you a chance." He said, "But you pushed Chuan'er away with me. I was the one who did the crime. What's wrong with Chuan'er?"

"Do not……"

The pain overwhelmed him, and he couldn't bear it, so he knelt down in front of Lu Zhongshu and argued, "I'm not...I'm not..."

"I'm not... no... a slave... a slave...!"

"Ah Ning," a person was waiting by the bed, seeing him open his eyes, he hurriedly approached and said, "You...you're awake."

Gu Mohuai was still awake, before he could think about it, he grabbed his front and begged: "Give me back the slave..."

His voice was dry and low, and Lu Zhongshu couldn't hear clearly for a moment, "What did you say?"

"..."

Gu Mohuai's eyes gradually cleared up, and then he pushed him away abruptly, leaned against the wall and said vigilantly, "How did you get in here."

"I……"

Lu Zhongshu turned his head uncomfortably.

On the table as far as the eye can see, there is a food box.

He seemed to gain confidence, and slowly said: "I brought you breakfast, and I called the door for a long time, but I didn't see you coming out. I was worried about your health, so I—"

"I asked you how you got in."

"..." Lu Zhongshu lowered his head and stared at the ground, rubbing his hands on his knees, "The fence...is not very high..."

Gu Mohuai looked at him quietly for a moment, then took his coat from the side and put it on, turned over and got out of bed.

Lu Zhongshu rushed forward to support him: "Where are you going? I—"

"open."

He looked calm, but Lu Zhongshu somehow let go of his hand.

The cane was leaning against the head of the bed, Gu Mohuai touched it, reluctantly went to the yard to wash up, then turned and went back to the room.

Lu Zhongshu stayed behind him all the time, saw him sit down, and took the food box with cloth vegetables attentively.

Apart from porridge and side dishes, he also brought all kinds of pastries, which are small in quantity but exquisite in quality. In terms of color and aroma alone, they can make people's index fingers twitch.

Gu Mohuai silently watched him arrange the plate, and suddenly said: "Lu Zhongshu."

Lu Zhongshu quickly stopped and looked at him: "Hey."

When he broke into Ah Ning's house, he should have touched Ah Ning's scales, but Ah Ning did not get angry, and even called him at this moment.

Lu Zhongshu thought, could it be that Ah Ning is willing to forgive herself and return to Beijing with her?

Gu Mohuai was able to respond, but fell silent again.

After a long silence, Fang continued: "How are you willing to leave Yanglou?"

Lu Zhongshu said: "As long as you are willing, we can leave and return to Beijing immediately. I have brought carriages and horses, and we are all at the foot of the mountain..."

"I'm talking about you." Gu Mohuai looked up at him, his eyes were sleepy, as if he was extremely tired, "What should I do so that I can teach you to let me go?"

The joy in his heart faded away, and Lu Zhongshu looked at the person in front of him helplessly.

He had studied this person for five years, and the moment he got the news, he set off for the south, making countless plans, good or bad, along the way.

Ah Ning didn't want to see him, he was satisfied as long as he saw Ah Ning doing well; Ah Ning sneered at him, but he was glad that Ah Ning was still willing to talk to him.

He has been in Yanglou for more than three months, and he has bumped against the walls in front of Ah Ning countless times, but as long as he is still alive, he just knocked off his head and body, so what's the problem?

His heart is true, love is also true, Ah Ning will always be touched by it, and go back with her.

He thought so, full of confidence.

However, at this moment, for the first time, a trace of hopelessness grew in Lu Zhongshu's heart.

But he is the little prince of the palace. He has been spoiled and proud since he was a child, and he was born with a rebellious character.

Even being repeatedly rejected by the sweetheart is no exception.

"I won't go." His eyes were slightly red, his throat was slightly choked but he refused to show weakness. He clenched his teeth and said stubbornly, "No matter what you say, how you do, or how you hurt me, I will never go."

"Chu Yuning, don't think about it."

☆, wrestling

Unmoved, Gu Mohuai took the cattail grass beside him and buried himself in weaving it.

Lu Zhongshu touched a soft nail, his momentum immediately dissipated, and he said awkwardly: "The porridge is getting cold, you, you can eat first."

Gu Mohuai ignored him and only cared about the work at hand.

His fingers shuttled back and forth between the blades of grass, looking quite nimble. After a while, a phoenix took shape.

Lu Zhongshu watched in silence for a moment, then suddenly said: "I... received a letter from the capital the day before yesterday."

Gu Mohuai turned a deaf ear to it.

"Jinu has started to practice calligraphy recently, and the letter was written by him, crooked, and it took me a lot of effort to read it."

The movement of weaving rushes slowed down, he saw it, and smiled indistinctly.

"He wrote in the letter: 'I hope that the father and the king will return with the father'." Lu Zhongshu said: "I don't know how many times I have practiced, the word 'carrying' is so complicated, it is a good stroke."

He paused for a moment, and quietly raised his eyes to look across.

Gu Mohuai still lowered his eyes and said nothing, but his hands stopped.

Blood is thicker than water, it is true.Maybe entrusting him as a slave is hard to let go after all.

Lu Zhongshu was encouraged, and continued: "This place is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the scenery is very different. Jinu misses you every day. I thought about it, and if I bring him to Yanglou, I can call you father and son. People will be reunited soon..."

"I will never move these foods." Gu Mohuai suddenly said: "You have entered my house without authorization, and you have sat there for long enough."

"……I……"

Gu Mohuai put down the phoenix that had been compiled halfway, and stuffed the meals on the table back into the food box one by one.

Lu Zhongshu said anxiously: "Ah Ning, you hurt your foot, everything is inconvenient, and there is no one to take care of you, I, I have nothing else to think..."

A food box was brought to him, Gu Mohuai looked indifferent, and said: "I won't give it away."

Lu Zhongshu frowned slightly, but did not reach out.

Gu Mohuai was not annoyed, he put down the food box, picked up the scattered leaves of grass and tightened them tightly, and weaved them together again, looking calm and breezy.

However, upon closer inspection, the little phoenix in his hand has been wrongly programmed three times, gradually losing its shape.

It was just a grass phoenix, and Lu Zhongshu didn't pay attention to it. After sitting silently for a while, he got up suddenly, dropped the food box and went straight out of the yard.

The courtyard door squeaked, Gu Mohuai paused, and slowly came back to his senses.

Phoenix has been edited, but due to repeated mistakes and omissions, it appears distorted and deformed.

He sighed silently, kneaded into a ball twice, and threw it at his feet.

This time, he should not come again.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the day, he would weave a bamboo hat and listen to the opening and closing of the courtyard door. The man went and came back again, and entered the house grandly.

Gu Mohuai finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said darkly: "You can enter my gate freely."

Lu Zhongshu was taken aback for a moment, and said awkwardly, "I'll bring you lunch...and medicine."

He raised his hand to signal: "The newly made ointment has a miraculous effect on reducing stasis and swelling. You can eat first, and later... I will put it on for you."

After finishing speaking, he put down the medicine bag, took the initiative to collect the whole table, and made room for food.

"I've done so many things, let's take a break after lunch." Lu Zhongshu couldn't keep his mouth idle while he was cooking. You should also take a lot of rest, but I may not be able to learn it well, this thing is not simple on the surface, and you still need to worry about it..."

He was chattering non-stop when he suddenly saw Gu Mohuai pick up an empty bowl and throw it out viciously. The bowl landed on the corner of the wall and immediately burst open with a crisp sound.

Lu Zhongshu was shocked all over, and hurriedly stopped to look at him.

Gu Mohuai's right hand trembled slightly. Sitting at the table, he panted slightly. After several restraints, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed to the door and said to him, "Go out."

"...You, you don't want to eat, it's fine." Lu Zhongshu smiled dryly, then took the medicine bag and said, "I'll change your medicine first..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the medicine bag in his hand was snatched by his hands, and then thrown out of the door viciously.

"roll!"

Lu Zhongshu raised his head and saw that Gu Mohuai's eyes were red, his whole body was trembling, one finger was pointing to the door, the other hand was clenched under the table, his nails pinched into the flesh of his palm.

It is clear that he was the one who fell and beat just now, but at this moment, it is like a yellow leaf in the rain, hanging on the branch precariously, with nothing to rely on.
