No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 245 Elopement?Su Rui's trouble
After leaving the Wucheng Bingmasi Yamen, the brother and sister stood on the side of the street and looked at each other.

Luo Jinxing asked hesitantly: "Just go back like this?" If he let his father know that his elder brother beat people on the street and didn't give a plausible reason, he didn't know what would happen to Wucheng soldiers and horses, but his father would definitely beat his elder brother to death of.

Luo Junyao was also a little annoyed, and lightly kicked the small stone beside his feet, and said, "Brother won't say anything! Yangxin Xiao's family, how could the third son Xiao be in Shangyong? Shouldn't he be preparing the spring at home?"

"You know him?" Luo Jinxing was a little surprised.He hadn't even heard of this name before, and his sister knew that he was going to participate in Chunwei next year?
Luo Jun shook his head and said: "I know, he is..." Luo Jun paused suddenly when he reached the tip of his mouth, and tilted his head slightly thoughtfully.

Luo Jinxing was in a hurry, "What is he?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "It's nothing, he is the third son of the Xiao family, the great-grandson of Mr. Xiao Xueyang from Xueyang Academy." Xiao Hong is sister Su's fiancé, but... He should go to Su as soon as possible when he comes to Shangyong It is impossible for such an aristocratic son to have no news in Shangyong City, but it seems that everyone has never heard of the Xiao family's coming to Shangyong.

Luo Jun turned around and said: "Second brother, let's go back first, let people watch this side, don't let people do anything to elder brother."

Luo Jinxing was taken aback, "Isn't it? Who dares to do anything to elder brother?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Wucheng soldiers and horses will certainly not, but there is no guarantee that others will not. Otherwise, why do you think mother told us to take eldest brother back first? I am really afraid that elder brother will not be able to bear the pain?" Luo Jinyan is also a general who has been on the battlefield. Two days in a cell is really no big deal.

Luo Jinxing nodded cautiously and said, "Don't worry, I will be watched."

When the two returned to Luo's house, Luo Yunsu and Xie Yan were already waiting for them in the hall.

The siblings looked at each other and walked in side by side.

The air pressure in the hall was a bit low, Su Shi glanced at the two of them without saying a word, but motioned them to look at Luo Yun with his eyes.

Luo Junyao thought to himself: Eldest brother asked them to persuade daddy not to care about this matter, obviously he knew that daddy couldn't hide this matter.

"Yao Yao, come here." Xie Yan stretched out his hand towards Luo Junyao with a smile.

Luo Junyao immediately smiled, and moved closer to Xie Yan, leaving his second elder brother alone to accept his father's gaze.

Xie Yan pulled Luo Junyao to sit down beside him, raised his hand to straighten her hair that was blown by the night wind, and asked softly, "Is it alright?"

Luo Jun shook his head and whispered, "Brother said it's all right."

Luo Yun snorted softly, stared at Luo Jinxing and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Luo Jinxing was very distressed, he really didn't know what happened.

The eldest brother refused to say anything, but the father wanted to ask again. He, the second child, was caught in the middle of a dilemma.

So Luo Jinxing could only turn his attention to his sister for help: Shake, help.

It was only then that Luo Junyao thought of his second brother, smiled at him apologetically and said to Luo Yun, "Daddy, elder brother said that we don't need to take care of this matter."

Luo Yun's face was a little ugly, "Don't we care?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Big brother said so. Big brother said he would come out in two days at most. If someone asks, just pretend that dad doesn't know about it."

Luo Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, he just looked rough, not really reckless and impulsive.After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Why did he beat up the members of the Xiao family in the street?"

Although the Xiao family doesn't have much influence in the court, they still have a high reputation among scholars.The Luo family is also the family of military generals, and they were already at odds with those literati, so it would be quite troublesome if things got big.

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Brother refuses to say."

Luo Yun stopped talking, of course he knew what the eldest son meant.

This is really not wanting the Luo family to intervene in this matter. As long as Luo Yun does not intervene, this can be a conflict between young people rather than a conflict between the Luo family and the Xiao family.

After a while, Luo Yun said in a deep voice: "Okay, if he can't give me a reasonable explanation within three days, I'll treat him as really crazy in the street. Labor and management will personally go to the Wucheng Bingma Si prison to deal with him!"

Both Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Dad didn't rush to Wucheng Bingmasi immediately to drag out the elder brother and beat him.

Because of Luo Jinyan's matter, Luo Junyao didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning in Xie Yan's arms, he didn't know how many thoughts went through his mind.

With her like this, Xie Yan naturally couldn't fall asleep.Simply leaning over on top, it's a good time to be upside down again, I don't know when it will be.

When Luo Junyao opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.

"Is the princess awake?" Luo Junyao just sat up when Qin Yao'er jumped in from the outside.

Before Luo Junyao could speak, Qin Yao'er blushed and immediately covered her eyes and turned around, "Oh, my eyes."

What the hell?Luo Junyao glanced at this eccentric little girl speechlessly.

He looked down to see that his underwear was neatly on, and then he got up and got out of bed.Walking to the side of the vanity mirror and taking a look, Luo Jun couldn't help shaking his face, and then he realized why Qin Yao'er was covering her eyes.

On her neck, beside her collarbone, there were several ambiguous marks.

The chaotic memories of last night came back to his mind in an instant, Luo Jun shook his head and glanced at the beautifully carved stepping bed behind him, grinding his teeth with hatred for someone who had left.

After quickly getting dressed, Luo Junyao invited someone in to take care of combing, washing and hair-dosing.

It was already slightly cold at the end of October, and the clothes he wore were much thicker. Luo Junyao changed into a dress with a slightly higher collar, but he didn't notice anything.

Luo Junyao sat in front of the vanity mirror and let Lan Yin tie her hair, while asking, "Yao'er, did you have anything to say just now?"

Qin Yao'er is also quick to forget, hearing her mention it, she immediately remembered that she had something to do, and hurriedly said: "Boss Cui is here, and said he has something to report to the princess."

Luo Junyao also remembered that before Xie Yan left in the morning, he seemed to hear Xie Yan talk about Cui Zheyu or something.Then he nodded and said: "Understood, Mr. Cui, please go and see Mr. Cui first, I will go there in a while."

"Oh." Qin Yao'er nodded, turned around and went out to pass on the message.

After Luo Junyao washed and washed, he had a quick breakfast before going to the courtyard where Cui Ziying lived temporarily.

However, after only a few days, although Cui Ziying was still thin and weak, his spirit was much better.There was some blood on his face, and he was seen sitting at the stone table in the yard from a distance, looking up to talk to Cui Zheyu, with a faint smile on his young face.

Seeing Luo Jun swaying over, the siblings quickly got up to salute.

"You don't need to be too polite." Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile, "How is Mr. Cui these few days?"

Cui Ziying bowed and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern, everything is fine."

Luo Jun shook his head, "That's good, if there is anything missing, just tell me, don't wrong yourself."

"Thank you, Princess." Cui Ziying also knew that the elder sister had something to tell the princess, so he retreated back to the room to rest and left the yard to the two of them.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Boss Cui, please come by yourself."

Cui Zheyu shook his head and said, "I also want to see Ziying, what's the trouble? Ziying is in the palace, and Princess Lao is taking care of her."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and stopped talking about these polite nonsense.

Sitting down at the table, Cui Zheyu said softly: "Last night, the lord sent someone to send a message, asking us to investigate the affairs of Mr. Luo and the third Mr. Xiao. These two... If our information is correct, These two have indeed never met before. I don’t know how the Third Young Master Xiao provoked the First Young Master Luo.”

Luo Junyao wasn't surprised either, even in the metropolis in the previous life, there were still things that couldn't be found on Skynet, let alone now.

"When did Third Young Master Xiao enter Beijing? Where do you live now? Have you ever visited any people?" Luo Junyao asked.

Cui Zheyu frowned and said: "The third son Xiao has entered Beijing ten days ago, but he never went to the old house of the Xiao family in Shangyong, but rented a small courtyard in the south of the city. He also never visited the Xiao family's old house in Shangyong. However, a few days ago, Third Young Master Xiao went to Liushang Pavilion to meet someone."

"Who is it?" Luo Junyao had some guesses in his heart, but he still asked.

"It should be the big girl from the Su family."

"Should?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.

Cui Zheyu smiled and said: "Because it was checked after the fact, it will inevitably be a little troublesome. But we checked all the people who have a good relationship with the Xiao family, and it was true that only the girl from the Su family went to Liushang Pavilion that evening. Moreover, in the first two days , Ms. Su received a post from an unknown source."

Luo Jun shook his head, Xiao Hong's trip to Liushang Pavilion happened to be the day of the Ruan family's birthday banquet, and Su Rui did say that he could not go because of something.

"Xiao Hong has come to Shangyong, so why don't you come to visit the future Yue's family and secretly meet with your fiancée?"

Cui Zheyu looked at Luo Junyao, hesitant to speak.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Boss Cui, just say so."

Cui Zheyu said softly: "The person we sent to investigate came back and said that there is a girl living in the courtyard of that third young master Xiao."

Luo Junyao looked at Cui Zheyu, Cui Zheyu continued: "The relationship between the two is quite ambiguous."

Luo Jun shook his eyes and thought, Sister Su looked a little haggard yesterday...

It stands to reason that the eldest brother has no grievances with Xiao Hong, even if Xiao Hong really offended him unintentionally, with the character of the eldest brother, he would definitely not do it directly.Could it be that elder brother ran into Xiao Hong... But, what does this have to do with elder brother?

Luo Jun shook his chin and thought, Cui Zheyu didn't urge her, got up with a smile and went into the house to find his brother.

When Cui Zheyu came out of the house again, Luo Junyao had disappeared, only Lan Zhen was waiting for her in the yard.

Lan Zhen sent the message for Luo Junyao.

"Princess Wang said that she should go out first if she has something to do. If Boss Cui is not busy, he can catch up with Mr. Cui. If he has something to do, he should go back first." Lan Zhen said.

Cui Zheyu smiled and said, "I see, let's go, girl."

Lan Zhenfu saluted, retreated and turned to go out.

Cui Zheyu didn't know what to think of, chuckled and turned around to explain to his younger brother, then left the palace and went back to his own place.

In the Su family, Su Rui is sitting in the room playing the piano.The sound of the piano was melodious, but Su Rui's beautiful face was slightly dignified, obviously not in a very good mood.

"Girl, the princess regent is here." She was startled when she heard the girl's report, and quickly got up to greet her.

She had just walked out of the yard when Luo Junyao had already walked in accompanied by the young lady of the Su family.

"I have seen the princess."

Luo Jun stepped forward and grabbed Su Rui with a smile, "Sister Su, you don't have to be so polite in private."

Su Rui smiled and asked, "Is Yao Yao here to look for me?"

Luo Jun shook his head, "I want to tell you something."

Su Rui nodded, and said to the young lady of the Su family: "Sister-in-law, I will take the princess to my room." The young lady gave her a worried look. Although she knew that they were on good terms, the other party was the princess regent after all. If the hospitality is not good, it is wrong after all.

Luo Jun shook his smile and said: "Young Madam, don't bother, I came to chat with Sister Su Rui, so I'm bothering you. Young Madam is so serious, I don't dare to come to Sister Su in the future."

The eldest young lady also saw that their relationship was really good, so she didn't think about it anymore, she just told Su Rui to treat the princess regent well and then she left with a smile.

Su Rui took Luo Junyao back to her room and sat down, waved away the girl who brought tea and snacks, and asked softly: "Yaoyao came to me, but what's the matter?"

The fact that Luo Jinyan was arrested by Wucheng Bingmasi was blocked in advance because Luo Jinxing was present at the time. Wucheng Bingmasi naturally wanted to give the Luo family face, so now outsiders don't know what happened.

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Yesterday I saw that my sister was not in a good mood in the academy, and I didn't go to the academy today, but what happened?"

Su Rui looked a little sad, but shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Luo Jun shook her hand and said, "But because... the third son of the Xiao family?"

Su Rui was startled, looked at Luo Junyao in astonishment, and said after a while, "How did Yaoyao know...he came to Shangyong? Have you seen him?"

Luo Junyao didn't answer, but instead asked, "Sister, what do you mean, the third son Xiao really came to Shangyong secretly? Don't old lady Su and Mrs. Su know about it?"

Su Rui was silent for a while, before she sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Since you already know, I won't hide it from you. Do you know... why he came to Shangyong?"

Luo Jun didn't answer, but he understood in his heart.

When Xiao Hong came to Shangyong, he didn't visit the Su family first, but went to see Su Rui in private, not for the purpose of marrying her.

Sure enough, Su Rui said indifferently: "He... eloped with a woman, and Yang Xin didn't know that he came to Shangyong."

"Elope to Shangyong?" Luo Jun raised his eyebrows.The third young master Xiao's ideas are also very creative, he must not have forgotten that Shangyong is now the domain of the Su family, right?Elope to the place of the future father-in-law, it is really a strange idea.

Su Rui smiled lightly: "He will participate in Chunwei next year, and he will come to Shangyong sooner or later."

Luo Junyao stopped talking, she felt that although she had a lot of brains, she couldn't figure out what this Young Master Xiao was thinking.

To elope with a woman is almost equivalent to regretting the marriage.In this way, he is still thinking about next year's spring?Even if the Su family didn't interfere, but as long as his elopement was found out, he wouldn't be able to take part in the imperial examination, and if it was serious, he wouldn't even be able to take part in the imperial examination in his life.

Unless, he can completely solve this matter before Chunwei.

Luo Jun shook his eyes, "Sister Su, what does he want to do? Could it be... he wants the Su family to divorce first?"

Su Rui smiled wryly, "If that's the case, why not if I help him?" Xiao Hong didn't want to marry her, so why did she have to rush to marry him?If the marriage cannot continue, it would be more beneficial for the Su family if they took the initiative to withdraw the engagement.

Neither grandfather nor father and brother are old-fashioned people, and Su Rui is confident to convince them.

Luo Jun frowned, "Then what else does he want?"

Su Rui said: "The woman is pregnant. Yangxin Xiao's family wanted to kill the child in her stomach, so Xiao Hong took her and fled to Shangyong. He wanted me to recognize that woman as a righteous sister and bring her with me next year." Marry into the Xiao family as a concubine."

Although it is no longer popular to marry concubines as dowries in modern times, there may not be some ancient families.

Compared with ordinary concubines, concubines are usually the bride's concubine sisters or clan sisters, and their status is higher than ordinary concubines.Although due to Gaozu's will, it still cannot be righted, but in ancient times, the son of a concubine was considered half a legitimate son by default.

"..." Luo Jun shook for a long while without speaking.

Su Rui smiled bitterly: "You also think it's ridiculous, don't you?"

"Sister didn't agree?" Luo Junyao asked.Although Su Rui looks gentle and elegant, she is not a weak and bully woman in her heart.

She didn't think Su Rui would agree to Xiao Hong's ridiculous request.

It is indeed absurd. With the current atmosphere and the status of the Su family, it is not a good reputation to marry a concubine as a dowry.

Is the prostitute of the Su family so ugly that she can't see her husband so she needs a sister to marry her?Or does the Su family have to rely on the Xiao family's marriage?

Su Rui said: "Of course I won't agree, but..."

"What cards does he have? Threatening Sister Su?" Luo Junyao asked.

Su Rui whispered: "He does have some problems with me, if he can't solve it..."

Was Su Rui threatened by Xiao Hong?
Luo Junyao didn't know whether he should ask what the handle was, and it could be used to be threatened, which obviously involved Su Rui's privacy.

After thinking about it, she changed the question, "If it can't be resolved... will Sister Su accept his conditions?"

Su Rui sighed softly, took out a small flower in the vase on the table to play with, and said softly: "If you can't solve the problem, you have to solve him. It's just... a little troublesome, and it will take some time and effort to think carefully. "

"..."
