Chapter 282 Teasing Cheng Kuo
Back then, Xiao Hong insisted on letting Xiao Ruan marry Cheng Kuo as if it was just yesterday, but when she saw this person today, she immediately wanted to play tricks on her.

Cheng Kuo didn't know why Lu Heng asked himself this, he thought that the other party wanted to investigate his family affairs, and his eyes suddenly became a little smug.

"My father is a very prestigious first-rank official in the court. Even the emperor wants to give him a little favor. Of course, a thousand gold is nothing to me..."

Cheng Kuo's tone was very proud, and his voice gradually became louder unconsciously, quickly attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

Seeing this, Lu Heng laughed secretly in his heart that this person was indeed a fool.

The salaries of officials in the Great Jin Dynasty were not high, and the emperor also advocated honesty and integrity. Even if the official family was rich, he would not talk about his official position.

And this Cheng Kuo is good, he opened his mouth to say that his father is a first-rank official, so he can easily give away a thousand gold.This is clearly telling everyone that the Cheng family has amassed a lot of property because of their high position.

What is even more unbelievable is that in this person's words, he even said that the emperor is not as good as his father, Cheng Jijiu.If it gets to the ears of the emperor, it is very likely that it will lead to death.

Looking at Xiao Ruan, Lu Heng turned his eyes and said with a smile: "Master Cheng really knows how to joke. My father is also a first-rank official in the court, but he doesn't know that there are so many official salaries. You still use these words to deceive other girls." Let's go."

"You! Everything I said is true, so how can you deceive me!"

As expected, Cheng Kuo was so aroused by Lu Heng, his face flushed immediately, and he hurriedly defended himself: "In this world, how much money can you make simply by being an official, miss, you are too naive. So if we dare to say that our Cheng family doesn't take Qianjin seriously, there is a way!"

"Then please tell me what your so-called doorway is?"

Lu Heng blinked, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which made Cheng Kuo unable to open his eyes.

Just when he was about to reveal how his family made money, a follower behind him suddenly stopped him anxiously and whispered in his ear.

"Master, don't fall for this woman's tricks. This woman is deliberately defrauding you. How can we tell them about our family's affairs?"

Hearing this, Cheng Kuo's face suddenly changed, and only then did he realize that his face was uncertain, and he stopped turning the walnuts immediately, and glared at Lu Heng: "You are playing tricks on me!"

Lu Heng thought that Cheng Kuo would really tell the way the Cheng family made money, but he was a little disappointed when he heard this.He secretly gave Xiao Ran a comforting look, and then stared back fearlessly.

"Mr. Cheng's words are wrong. You took the initiative to talk to me. If you want to talk, you can say it. If you don't want to, then you don't say it. Why is it that I'm playing tricks on you?"

Cheng Kuo was stunned by Lu Heng's words for a while, but he didn't want to lose face, but seeing that everyone around him was staring at him, he suddenly turned his gaze to Xiao Ruan.

"Miss Xiao, you and I used to be old acquaintances. I saw that you were pregnant, so I was polite to you. But you let your friend humiliate me like this. No wonder you were kicked out by General Huo!"

Cheng Kuo's words contained sarcasm, and Lu Heng couldn't help being furious when he said this, and suddenly stood up and looked at him: "What did you say just now, if you have the guts, you can say it again!"

Lu Heng was indeed teasing Yu Chengkuo, but the questions he asked were all ordinary questions, and he himself was so stupid that he insisted on saying something that would kill him.

It's just that the other party aimed at Xiao Ruan, which was something she hadn't thought of, so she looked at Xiao Ruan worriedly.

She learned from Zhu Jin that Xiao Ruan had been warned several times by Lin Tianqi for being overthinking before, and that today she specially brought her here to see the peach blossoms in order to relax her.

Seeing that the worry on Xiao Ran's face had gone a lot, Cheng Kuo suddenly spoke wildly, which was against her.

"My son is doing the right thing, there is nothing I dare not say, but the fact that Miss Xiao has an affair with the imperial physician in the palace, I don't know how embarrassing it will be!"

In fact, Cheng Kuo didn't want to make his words too harsh, but it was a matter of face, if he couldn't refute it back, he might be pointed at wherever he went in the future.

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he told the rumors he heard in an attempt to divert everyone's attention,

And as soon as his words came out, there was a burst of discussion in the whole hall, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Ruan.

"Mr. Cheng blatantly insulted the emperor and the general's wife. I really want to know if your father, Mr. Cheng, taught you this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, you naughty girl! Your adultery with Lin Tianqi from the imperial hospital caused the side concubine of Duke Huai to give birth prematurely, so everyone knows it, so I don't need my father's teaching! If you dare to speak out again, I will be rude to you!"

Cheng Kuojing's subordinates just made a point, and now he knows how to protect his father's face. When he heard Xiao Ruan's words slightly offended, he immediately refuted them mercilessly.

Compared with the appearance of flattering Lu Heng just now, it is really inconsistent, turning his face and refusing to recognize anyone.

Xiao Ruan frowned, slowly pushed the wine bowl in front of her to the side, stared closely at Cheng Kuo's eyes, and thought over Cheng Kuo's words in her heart.In an instant, he wanted to understand where the words in the other party's mouth came from, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously evoked an arc of unknown meaning.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know yet. The emperor's private patrol in his micro-clothes is in this peach blossom forest today. I don't know what crime you will be convicted of if your words are heard in his ears just now?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cheng Kuo couldn't help being startled, even the crowd in the hall became agitated, and hurriedly looked for the emperor's figure, and some even ran back to the peach blossom forest outside the house.

Cheng Kuo felt guilty because of the remarks just now, but he pretended to be calm, and wanted to argue with Xiao Ruan again.The entourage behind him pulled him back again, and whispered persuasion.

"Master, why do you bother with a woman, you have lost our tolerance for nothing, why don't we also go to the Peach Blossom Forest to meet the emperor as a matter of business."

Talking about welcoming the emperor is nothing more than an excuse to escape.

Seeing that Cheng Kuo thought he had reached a new level, Lu Heng put on airs and left, and immediately turned over the table with a smile: "Ruan Ruan, you still have a way to deal with this idiot."

"You, that Cheng Kuo is indeed a bit of a playboy, but he is not a treacherous person. If you hadn't insisted on designing him today, how could he have poured his hostility on me?"

A look of helplessness flashed across his face, Xiao Ruan gave Lu Heng a sideways glance, but his expression suddenly became solemn.

At this time, everyone in the hall had just ran out, wanting to see the holy face, but there was no one in the huge wine shop, and Lu Heng's laughter became more and more clear.

"Okay, okay, it's not okay if I'm wrong, I just want to help you vent your anger and make you happy, how can you know... this apprentice, he dared to spout blood, I will let my brother teach me a lesson Let her do it!"

Noticing the change on Xiao Ruan's face, Lu Heng quickly stopped his words and turned to scolding Cheng Kuo, but Xiao Ruan was no longer interested in enjoying the flowers and drinking.

Staring at the translucent wine bowl on the table, just now Cheng Kuo's words echoed in his ears again, Xiao Ruan's brows gradually tightened: "Cousin Heng, I'm afraid you have to send some people to help me investigate something."

When Xiao Ruan and his group returned to the Lu Mansion, they obviously felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was a bit different. Everyone looked at Xiao Ruan and hesitated to speak, but when asked what happened, the other party hesitated and couldn't say a word.

Returning to the courtyard with doubts, Xiao Ruan just sat down when guards came.

"Miss Biao, the old man asked you to go to the study."

"Why did my grandfather call you over at this time? It wasn't because you helped me in front of Nanny Zhou..."

Lu Heng's head turned around quickly, and he felt more and more likely that he was making a fuss about leaving the house, and immediately couldn't help but said: "If it's because of this, I will be with you, and I must not let you take the blame for me .”

"It will never be the case."

Xiao Ruan shook his head.

Mrs. Lu would let Mrs. Lu come forward to inform these juniors about anything that happened on weekdays, and rarely called people to the study.

Under normal circumstances, if one is called to the study, it must be an extremely important matter, or there are important instructions.

His eyes flickered, Xiao Ruan immediately bid farewell to Lu Heng and went to the study with the guards.

There are all kinds of books on the bookshelf in Taifu Lu's study, bound with wires and bamboo slips.When Xiao Ruan entered the room, he was standing in front of the bookshelf, not knowing what to look for.

Hearing the voice, Mrs. Lu turned around, looked at Xiao Ran's face carefully, but didn't say anything, and went directly to the desk and sat down.

"My granddaughter has met my grandfather, but I don't know that you called me here..."

Xiao Ruan bowed to Grand Tutor Lu respectfully, with doubts in her eyes, she always felt that the atmosphere in the room was extremely unusual.

Su Clan's Xiao Ran's face was full of doubts, Taifu Lu didn't see Xiao Ruan's reaction for a long time, finally he sighed and opened his mouth. "Aren't you willing to tell me what happened between you and Huo Xun?"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu would bring up this matter suddenly, Xiao Ran bit her lip, hesitated for a moment before raising her head: "Grandfather, my husband and I...we have nothing to do..."

"You, until now, you still refuse to tell me the truth!"

A thin layer of anger immediately appeared on Lu Taifu's face, he picked up a letter from the table and pointed to the writing on the envelope, his beard straightened with anger.

"Come and tell me, if there is really nothing between you, what is going on with this letter!"

As if seeing something unbelievable, Xiao Ruan raised her head, and after seeing the handwriting on the letter clearly, her body suddenly trembled uncontrollably.

The two legs were like sandbags tied with a thousand catties, she couldn't move her feet, she could only stare at the three big characters shining brightly on it, which almost hurt her eyes - "He Li Shu".

Without taking the envelope, Xiao Ruan already recognized who wrote the three vigorous cursive scripts outside.

What an irony!

She only moved out from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion yesterday, and today she received the He Li Shu written by Huo Xun himself.

That person, him, how could he be so heartless!
