Chapter 355: When do you plan to get married?

There are not so many coincidences in this world, such as Duan Guoliang's death during Lu Nanshen's kidnapping. Everyone can also think that Duan Ning's aggressiveness must be due to Duan Guoliang's affairs, and he is targeting Lu Nanshen, which must be related to him.

But what exactly the relationship is remains a mystery for now.

Lu Nanshen couldn't remember.

To be precise, he had no impression at all.

"It seems that there are only two possibilities." Lu Nanshen's face was not very good, his eyes were heavy, "Either I was too scared at the time, and my brain showed selective amnesia; or, Duan Guoliang's death actually had nothing to do with me."

The first situation is easy to understand. He was young at the time and was greatly traumatized, so it is normal for him to have selective amnesia. But this actually shows that something terrible must have happened at that time.

The second possibility, if it has nothing to do with Lu Nanshen, then it can only be...

"If it was done by the secondary personality, then why did Shen Fu say it was related to you? Outsiders can't tell the difference, but he can tell it, right?" Hang Si wondered.

After she finished speaking, she felt something was wrong and explained softly, "I didn't doubt your meaning."

"I understand." Lu Nanshen's face was calm. When he looked up at her, there was more tenderness in his eyes. He reached out and touched her head. "We are now having a normal and logical discussion on the issue. There is no right or wrong."

Hang Si looked at him seriously, "So what if it's really related to you? There must be a reason for the bloodshed."

Lu Nanshen felt a warm feeling in his heart. He took her hand and gently held it, whispering, "I want to rule out all possibilities, including the Chief of Guards."

Hang Si nodded.

She understood what he meant. The Captain of the Guards was hiding too deeply, so it was inevitable that he had appeared before and did some unknown things.

"Since..." Hang Si hesitated.

Lu Nanshen looked at her calmly.

Hang Si secretly took a deep breath, raised his eyes, and said what he was thinking, "Professor Shen said that Qiao Yuan might know the truth, so why not ask him."

She didn't want to mention the name, and she knew he didn't want to mention the name either.

Sure enough, Lu Nanshen's expression changed slightly. He stopped talking, and his jawline looked sharp when he pursed his lips, but he never got angry. He looked at Hang Si for a long time, and when he sighed, his eyebrows softened a little, easing the sharpness. "There is no need. Duan Ning's target is me. No matter if what happened back then has anything to do with me or not, in his eyes, I am inseparable from it. This is the truth."

More importantly, he didn't want Qiao Yuan to show up because of this. The guard was vicious, and Qiao Yuan was also eyeing him covetously. He had been trying to suppress Qiao Yuan and always control the initiative. He would never let Qiao Yuan take advantage of the opportunity.

"But--"

"Hanghang." Lu Nanshen interrupted her softly and sighed, "No matter what the truth is, Duan Ning has to be dealt with, right?"
-
It was obvious that Lu Nanshen was avoiding the issue.

Hang Si knew him and understood him. At the same time, she was asking herself how she felt about Qiao Yuan now? Was she still afraid of him?

There is no answer.

Because the next day, they had to split into three groups.

Fang Sheng has strong empathy, and Nian Baixiao speaks in a likable and non-aggressive way, so the two of them are responsible for continuing to go to Aunt Tian's house to get information. Chen Yezhou is good at criminal investigation and observation, and he plans to visit the Xu family's wife, while Lu Nanshen and Hang Si want to start with Xiaohua and find Tian Dayu's third brother. It snowed all night and stopped at dawn. When the sun went down, the ancient village was covered in silver. Hang Si was afraid of the cold, so he put on the white down jacket he brought with him. Lu Nanshen had been in Northern Europe and was used to the severe cold. He was still wearing a jacket, but he also had a scarf in his hand. Hang Si was stopped by him as soon as he left the courtyard.

Hang Si stood under an old plum tree and looked back at him. When the wind blew, snowflakes fell from the tree. Above her head were red plum blossoms that had broken through the white snow and were in full bloom. Her white clothes were like heavy snow, and her palm-sized face was extremely white against the red plum blossoms.

Lu Nanshen walked over to her and wrapped the scarf around her, then smiled at her and said, "You're afraid of the cold, but you don't even wear a scarf."

"I forgot in a hurry." Hang Si raised his hand and touched his ear, "Aren't you cold?"

His ears were itchy, and her fingers were so soft that Lu Nanshen felt a warm current drilling into his heart. He pulled down her hand and held it, "It's not cold."

In this way, she was held by him all the way. He held her hand tightly, and because he was afraid that her hand would get cold, he put it in his pocket. The two of them were in such a posture that it was nothing outside, but in Meitang Village, it always attracted some attention. Sheng Tang felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it tighter.

He asked with a smile, "Why are you so nervous?"

Of course, he wasn't nervous when he wasn't in Meitang Village. Hang Si sighed, "I'm afraid it would be disgraceful."

Lu Nanshen raised his eyebrows, "Food and sex are human nature."

They knew that Tian Dayu's third brother was not his full brother, but what Lu Nanshen and Hang Si did not expect was that this third brother was not even a distant relative.

He turned out to be a member of the Xu family, the nephew of Mrs. Xu.

Lu Nanshen came over on the pretext of wanting to paint a small portrait, and told Aunt Tian Guan that he and his girlfriend had come to Meitang Village with great difficulty, and they had to leave a souvenir.

Auntie Tian Guan led the way. The snow on the ground was quite thick and it made a crunching sound when stepped on. She was busy and enthusiastic as always, "You have a great relationship. When are you going to get married?"

Hang Si stumbled and was steadied by Lu Nanshen in time. He smiled and said, "It's almost there."

Hang Si secretly twisted his arm.

Lu Nanshen was trying to hold back the pain and trying not to laugh.

Aunt Tian said with a smile, "You outsiders get married late, right? If you were your age in our Meitang Village, your children would be old enough to help with cooking."

Lu Nanshen looked down at her and asked with a smile, "Did you hear that?"

Hang Si felt his face getting hot, and he wondered if it was because the sunlight was getting stronger.

Xu Junxing, whose courtesy name is Yan.

When the third brother introduced his name to Lu Nanshen in such a grand manner, he was full of literary spirit. Hang Si lowered his voice and said to Lu Nanshen, "It's time to let Nian Baixiao come. Look at him. There are also words. With Nian Baixiao's Chinese attainments, he may not even understand what the words mean."

People in Meitang Village used to call him Xu Yan, and he liked others to call him that. At that time, he was waiting at the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, wearing a plain coat, with his hair tied up with a bamboo hairpin, standing alone under a white plum tree. From a distance, this scene itself became a painting.

After seeing them, he was very enthusiastic, bowed and invited them into the inner courtyard. Fortunately, Lu Nanshen grew up in the Lu family, and although he didn't learn the ancient etiquette, he still knew the traditional etiquette. Hang Si, on the other hand, was used to traveling outside, so he knew some etiquette, so the two of them returned the greetings.

The inner courtyard of Xu Yan's house is unique, with a large bamboo forest in the south, which is still in full bloom despite winter. Aunt Tian Guan greeted Xu Yan early in the morning, and after entering the room, the aroma of tea filled the air, showing Xu Yan's hospitality.
