Chapter 92 Temptation (1)
Mrs. Lu replied: "Although the eldest prince said that we should wait for Feng girl and Ji to marry her, we should have prepared early. The empress and the eldest prince treat Feng girl with affection. The dowry prepared for Feng girl will be increased by 1%, and I will give another 120 taels of silver and two farms to Feng girl, so that Feng girl can get married in a grand way. After all, she is going to be the eldest son-in-law. Always leave some room for the younger brothers and sisters below. I thought I would just get a dowry of 120 liters, and the ones below should get 96 liters, [-] liters, [-] liters, etc., so those few So you don't have to worry about not being able to kill Feng girl's order, and being reluctant to wrong your own daughter."

The mother-in-law took the initiative to say that she would increase her daughter's dowry by [-]% and give her a lot of money, how could Mrs. Lu not be happy?Immediately got up and thanked Mrs. Lu, and said a lot of flattering words, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy.

When Lu Mingxuan heard this in the green gauze closet, she couldn't help but struggle again. The current situation is that everyone in Dingguo's mansion and the person involved, Lu Mingfeng, are full of longing and expectations for this marriage. If Lu Mingfeng knows about the eldest prince in the future, If you only love men, will the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and then you can't bear the huge gap, and do some stupid things?

But she can't ignore the life and death of herself and Lu Zhongxian and Lu Mingfu. After all, if she doesn't tell Lu Mingfeng, she may only be unhappy, and other aspects will not be affected. But if she does, the safety and even life and death of their father and daughter will come first. Time is in danger, and the weight on both ends of the scale is more important. It goes without saying that she has no other choice at all, doesn't she?
Lu Mingxuan weighed it in her heart, and finally decided not to say anything. Although she felt very uncomfortable about it, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, it was better than losing her life, right?The only thing she could do was to silently say "I'm sorry" to Lu Mingfeng in her heart.

After a few more days, it was the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement and joy in the Duke's Mansion as usual.

At the family banquet, Lu Mingxuan saw Ling Mengqi. He hadn't seen Ling Mengqi in just ten days. He seemed to be darker again, calmer and restrained. After a round of drinking, he quietly sat in his seat.It's just that although the other person has darkened a lot, his face is still the same, still so eye-catching, no matter how quiet he is, people can't ignore his existence.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone in the hall became more and more interested. Lu Mingxuan inadvertently saw Ling Mengqi leave the banquet and went outside. After thinking about it, she also got up and followed out quietly, wanting to take this opportunity Thank you to Ling Mengqi, after all, he gave her such a special birthday gift, and she couldn't do it, so she should say thank you in person.

At that time, Ling Mengqi was leaning with his hands folded on his chest on the porch of the veranda outside the flower hall, staring at the full moon in the sky in a daze, but he was just dazed. As soon as Lu Mingxuan approached, she heard movement, and said in a low voice, "Who?" At the same time, she turned around abruptly.

Seeing that the person who came was not someone else but Lu Mingxuan, Ling Mengqi's tense body relaxed all of a sudden, and the lines at the corners of his eyes and brows softened a lot, and said: "So it's Miss Xuan, and Miss Xuan also came out to breathe. ?"

Lu Mingxuan smiled slightly, and said: "I didn't come out to breathe, but to thank Brother Ling Shi. I like Brother Ling Shi's gift very much. You must have put a lot of effort into it, right? If I don't say it to you in person, Thank you, I really feel sorry for you.”

When Ling Mengqi heard the words, a touch of embarrassment instantly appeared on Jun's face, and he said embarrassingly: "I have grown up as a editor, and I can make up those things in the blink of an eye. it is good."

From small to large?Lu Mingxuan couldn't help being startled, and without thinking about it, she blurted out: "Brother Ling really likes making up these little things?" After finishing the words, she suddenly realized that Ling Mengqi's life in the Guangping Marquis Mansion is very likely to be conjoined. The servants above are inferior. Maybe he made up these things for another reason, not out of interest. If I ask myself like this, isn’t it clear that I am adding salt to his wounds?
I couldn't help being annoyed, but I was in a hurry to explain and remedy it, but I couldn't talk about it, so I had to look at Ling Mengqi apologetically, and murmured: "I'm sorry."

Unexpectedly, Ling Mengqi laughed because of her 'I'm sorry', not only the corners of his mouth were smiling, but also his slightly raised narrow eyes were also stained with a smile, as if there was a burning brilliance hidden in them, Said: "Ms. Xuan, why are you sorry for my words? Is it because the girl asked me that I like making up those little things? I really like making up those things, but at the beginning it was more to pass the time, and the girl must have listened to it." As I said, my mother died early, and my father didn't like me, so my life at home has been... not very easy, and no one plays with me. I can only play by myself, and gradually learn to weave Although I used these things to pass the time at the beginning, I really found fun in them later on, and they were the only fun I had at that time, so I am only happy that the girl likes my gift, and the girl Why are you sorry for my words?"

Compared with the peace and tranquility of being able to talk and laugh face-to-face with the person in front of him, those suffering experiences in the past that he would instinctively avoid even looking back now are really nothing to mention. It is no exaggeration to say that he is even grateful for those experiences. If he hadn’t With those experiences, how could he have met such a wonderful person as Lu Mingxuan, and felt that life is not only suffering, but also joy?How could he wait until the sunshine in his life finally shines on his perennially cold body and mind?

Ling Mengqi's understatement made Lu Mingxuan more and more annoyed. Apart from being annoyed, she also felt a little sad. Ling Mengqi is only a half-grown child now, and when he was in the Guangping Marquis's residence, he was just a child. He has a child, but he said that his life has not been very easy. The only thing that can pass the time and find fun is to make up those little things. How can the Quang Binh Marquis be a father?God is really blind, why did he let him be Ling Mengqi's father, why did he let Ling Mengqi be his son, any other father, with a son like Ling Mengqi, he would only love him Are you proud of it? !
Lu Mingxuan was about to say something to comfort Ling Mengqi, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind: "What are Sister Xuan and Brother Ling Shi talking about, they are so happy, why didn't they tell you when they were in the hall just now?" Are you all happy too?"

Looking back, it was Lu Mingya, who was dressed in a concubine-colored embroidered golden thread beanie and a moon-white skirt, walking over with a smile, followed by her two personal maids, Zizhu and Zilan.
