The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 115 The Trap in the Story

"Miss, a letter from the Xiao Mansion, said to be for you."

It was night, when Xiao Ruan was about to go to bed, Zhu Yun hurried in from the outside and handed her a letter with wax.

Who in the Xiao residence wrote to him?
There was no signature on the envelope, Xiao Ruan opened the letter and saw the handwriting on it, and immediately recognized that it was her brother Xiao Zhongheng's handwritten letter.

She asked someone to light a candle, sat at the table and read the letter carefully, and when she looked up again, she felt a complexion on her face.

In the letter, Xiao Zhongheng told her all about the reactions of the Xiao family after she left.

The old lady asked Xiao Hong to divorce the Gu family, but Xiao Hong not only refused, but also let the Gu family take charge of the Xiao family again after the old lady fell; Because Xiao Ying was going to marry into Prince Huai's mansion, Mrs. Gu regained power in just a few days, even more arrogant than when Xiao Ruan was at home.

Xiao Zhongheng spent two pages detailing the situation of the Xiao Mansion, and the last two pages were all about self-blame, thinking that he did not protect Xiao Ruan well, and he didn't even know that Xiao Ruan was beaten by Xiao Hong at night.

"Ruan'er and my sister, I feel very guilty for not fulfilling my duty of love to you in the past. In the future, I will definitely listen to your words and work hard to gain fame and protect you as soon as possible. You must also take good care of yourself in your grandfather's house. Don't worry about your brother."

The candlelight danced and made a "crackling" sound, Xiao Ruan looked at the thin pages of letter paper in front of her, and a warm feeling slowly surged in her heart.

Her elder brother Xiao Zhongheng was ridiculed and neglected in the previous life, which was as tragic as her fate.

If he can change the trajectory of his life because of himself in this life, that would be great!

Xiao Ruan reread the letter carefully, and then carefully put it away.

It was summer now, and tiny flying insects came from the windows and buzzed around the candles.

Xiao Ruan looked at the flying insects eager to rush towards the light, and a firmness slowly flashed across his deep eyes.

Now that the Xiao family is the head of the Gu family, I believe she will set up many obstacles when she sees Xiao Zhongheng striving to become stronger, and I am afraid that Xiao Zhongheng's place will not be too smooth.

If possible, she must help her brother...

It took half a month for Xiao Ruan's injuries to heal slowly. During this short period of time, Huo Xun came to Xiao's mansion every now and then in the name of looking for Lu Hanrui.

But every time Huo Xun entered Xiao Ruan's courtyard with his front foot, Lu Heng would come over with his back foot. It was exactly as she said that day, standing in front of Xiao Ruan every step of the way, and she would not leave until Huo Xun left.

Huo Xun wanted to spend some alone time with Xiao Ruan, and finally found Lu Heng on a special trip one day.

"Hey, the sun came out from the west today. General Huo didn't look for my cousin, but came to me. What a novelty!"

Lu Heng walked around Huo Xun a few times and couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.

Huo Xun has always been indifferent to people, and would not take the initiative to find someone easily, so it is extremely rare to find Lu Heng on a special trip today.

Hearing Lu Heng's teasing, Huo Xun looked helpless.

He knew from Lu Hanrui's slurs that this was what the Lu family meant, but when he thought about how Xiao Ruan could hold small hands and occasionally kiss small mouths when they were alone together, now it looks like he is being watched, which is really shocking. uncomfortable.

"Miss Lu, I came to find you today because I really need something to ask, and please give me and Ruan Er some time to be alone."

When Lu Heng heard this, he laughed again.

"General Huo, you came to beg me today. Is this how you beg? Why don't you give me something?"

"If you are willing to agree, I will naturally promise you benefits... So you are willing to agree?"

Huo Xun stared at Lu Heng with burning eyes, his eyes were full of joy, he thought for a while and said: "I don't know what you like or want, but as long as you are willing to say it, I will try my best to do it."

"What if I don't want anything?"

Seeing that he took it seriously, Lu Heng didn't dare to continue joking with him, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huo, I can't promise you this matter, it has something to do with Ruan Ruan's reputation!"

"Ruan'er and I have already engaged, and even the emperor has agreed to our marriage..."

"That's not OK!"

Lu Heng interrupted without waiting for Huo Xun to finish, but when he saw that he wanted to say more, he quickly waved his hand: "Brother Huo, if you persuade grandfather, you will not give me any benefits, and I will not meddle in your affairs, you Don't embarrass me!"

After saying that, Lu Heng left in a hurry as if he was running away, leaving only Huo Xun with a dazed expression on his face.

Huo Xun opened his mouth, watched Lu Heng leave, and unconsciously turned his eyes to the direction of Xiao Ruan's courtyard.

After a long time, maybe there was a wry smile on his face, it seemed that the most important thing he should do was to hurry up and set their wedding date.

Women in this dynasty had to prepare their own wedding dress when they got married. Xiao Ruan was already engaged to Huo Xun. After recovering from her injuries, she and Lu Heng learned embroidery together with the embroiderer Mrs. Lu invited.

The embroiderer in the palace taught her very seriously, but within a few days Xiao Ruan's embroidery skills improved a lot.

Lu Heng is careless and careless, Xiao Ruan is very close to her in this life, the two of them embroider and play with dogs every day, their life is unprecedentedly comfortable.

The weather was quite cool that day, Xiao Ruan and Lu Heng led a group to enjoy the flowers in the garden of the Lu Mansion, and bumped into Lu Shao who also came to enjoy the flowers.

As soon as Lu Heng saw Lu Shao, the corners of his mouth drooped, pulling Xiao Ruan to go another way.

"Miss, isn't this servant dazzled? We have outsiders coming to our house again? It's really cheeky to like to come to other people's house when you don't want to stay in your own house!"

"Hongliu, please don't say that, our Miss Xiao is not thick-skinned, she was kicked out by her family and came to our Lu residence with nowhere to go."

Just as Xiao Ruan and Lu Heng were about to leave, they heard the voice of the maid beside Lu Shao behind them.

Lu Heng couldn't hold it back, turned his head suddenly, gave Lu Shao a vicious look, and then said loudly to Xiao Ruan deliberately: "Did Ruan Ruan bring a dog with him? Why do you hear so many dogs barking?"

When Xiao Ruan heard Lu Heng comparing Lu Shao and the others to dogs, she couldn't help laughing and echoed: "It's true that I only brought Tuantuan, but a dog can't hold back the other dogs who smelled the scent and ran over!"

"Xiao Ruan, don't be narcissistic, you really think I'm here to find you! Damn! What fragrance can you have on your body other than stink!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan's voice fell, Lu Shao on the opposite side became furious.

Xindao Xiao Ruan is so thick-skinned that he even said that he has a fragrance on his body.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Lu Heng on the opposite side burst into a shocking, weeping laughter.

Seeing the two people on the opposite side laughing so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs, and the maid behind her pursing her lips and laughing at herself, Lu Shao realized that she had fallen into the trap of Xiao Ruan's words.

Lu Shao was trembling with anger, a flash of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he immediately sarcastically said: "Xiao Ruan, you are now living under the fence, yet you still dare to be so rude to me, be careful I will kick you out!"

Lu Heng laughed so hard that tears flowed down his face. Hearing Lu Shao's words, a sneer appeared on his face: "Lu Shao, do you think Duke Lu's mansion is your own home? If you say you want to get out, you can get out? How can you?" Why can't it go to the sky if it's so big!"

Lu Shao didn't seem to expect that Lu Heng would stand in front of Xiao Ruan and quarrel with him, so he endured it and immediately put on the identity of the elder sister to reprimand Lu Heng.

"Sister Heng, is this how Auntie taught you to talk to Elder Sister? As a child of the Lu family, you actually help Xiao Ruan, an outsider, to talk. You really have no brains, you are so stupid, you don't even know that you are being used by others! "

"Yo! I don't have a tutor and you have a tutor? Compared to you letting the servant girl insult us as soon as you saw us, and saying harsh words, I really hope that the Lu family doesn't have someone like you!"

As soon as Lu Heng saw that Lu Shao was holding up the posture of the elder sister, he immediately poohed, looked Lu Shao up and down with disdain, and sneered again.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are doing in the mansion in a fancy dress. Let me tell you, in Brother Huo's eyes, you are not as good as a pile of shit on the ground. You just hang on to Brother Huo. He won't even look at you!"

Lu Heng watched with great satisfaction that Lu Shao's face turned red and green, blue and red, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Ever since Xiao Ruan came to Lu's mansion, Huo Xun has come to Duke Lu's mansion more and more times. Lu Heng has long since discovered that Lu Shao, who has always followed the example of those ladies, has walked out of the boudoir for the first time. .

Dressed up all day, regardless of the wind and the sun, wandering or feeling sad at several important intersections in the house, looking at Xiao Ruan's yard eagerly, clearly wanting to take this opportunity to have a chance encounter with Huo Xun, really shameless!
Xiao Ruan has been recuperating since she came to Lu's mansion, she didn't know that Lu Shao had such an act, and once again she stole her gaze to Lu Shao's colorful clothes.

Just now she felt that Lu Shao was a little different from the past, but now that Lu Heng reminded her, she suddenly understood.

Lu Shao usually wears simple and elegant clothes to show his elegance that is not stained by mud, but today he is wearing extraordinarily bright clothes. It is no wonder that she didn't notice Lu Shao just now, and didn't recognize her until she walked across the street.

Moreover, Lu Shao's face seemed to be painted with rouge, as if she was worried that it would be too conspicuous, and she didn't dare to describe her eyebrows and mouth in detail, but if you look closely, you can still find the difference.

It seems that in order to attract Huo Xun's attention, Lu Shao made a small breakthrough in himself.

"Lu Heng, you...you..."

Lu Shao's mind was caught by Lu Heng, and he trembled with anger. He wanted to scold Lu Heng severely, but he couldn't let go of his lady status, so he said "you" for a long time. Do not refute words.

"What are you! Seeing you today is really disgusting! Ruan Ruan, let's go!"

Lu Heng crackled and scolded Lu Shao, seeing that she had lost any combat power, with a triumphant smile on her face, clapped her hands and pulled Xiao Ruan away.
