Chapter 80
Chapter 80
Lu Qi went to Bai's house, but only got the news that Mr. Bai had no news.
This made him a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to go to Bai's house for Bai Heng, and then he could go to Beijing to meet Bai Heng, but now that he knew that Mr. Bai was not there, it would be hard for Lu Qi to just leave.
He knew that Bai Heng and Mr. Bai had a very good relationship. If Bai Heng found out that Mr. Bai was missing, how anxious would he be?
And now that the Bai family is in such a situation, he dare not just leave, after all, Mrs. Bai is still in the Bai mansion.
Without old master Bai's suppression, I don't know what absurd things Uncle Bai would do.
It's just that there is no news about Mr. Bai, so Mr. Bai intends to remember Bai Yan as his son-in-law; if Mr. Bai really can't come back, wouldn't Mr. Bai be about to turn the world upside down?
Originally, if he didn't know Bai Heng, he wouldn't care about the future of the Bai family at all, but now with his friendship with Bai Heng, he can't just turn around and leave when the Bai family is in turmoil.
Lu Qi was really surprised by his mentality.
Lu Qi knows that he is not a kind person, and he is usually indifferent to others. Due to his complicated background and Madam Lu's attitude, he is even more rebellious and rebellious in his bones.
He thought that he and Bai Heng just had a better relationship than ordinary people, but along the way, he frequently broke his own principles and past persistence, and now because of his urgency for Bai Heng, he even gave birth to the idea of guarding the Bai family and Bai Heng for Bai Heng. Lady's thoughts.
This shocked Lu Qi's heart.
There was a faint flash of inspiration in his mind, but it disappeared in an instant, making it impossible for him to catch it.He frowned slightly, feeling that it was very important to see that gleam of spiritual light just now, but no matter how he thought about it at this moment, his mind was blank.
Lu Qi had a premonition that when he figured out what was flashing through his mind, the relationship between him and Bai Heng might change drastically.
Whether this change is good or bad, he has no idea at this moment. ...
Capital
After Bai Heng came to Xiao Qi's side, he concentrated on recuperating his body.
Fortunately, after King Su ascended the throne, he desperately moved many precious medicinal materials from the national treasury to Xiao Qi's house. With the nourishment of these medicinal materials, Xiao Qi's health finally improved.
After Xiao Qi's physical condition stabilized, Bai Heng started preparing to detoxify the other party.
It's just that although he usually focused on Xiao Qi's illness, he never forgot the Bai family and Lu Qi in Tongcheng.
He originally thought that it wouldn't take long for Lu Qi to go to Bai's house for him before entering Beijing, but in the blink of an eye he had been by Xiao Qi's side for almost a month, but Lu Qi was still nowhere to be seen.
Although there was correspondence between him and Lu Qi, it was because Lu Qi had not left Tongcheng for a long time, so Bai Heng became more and more worried, knowing that something must have happened to the Bai family.
Otherwise, Lu Qi would not guard the Bai family for himself.
As for what kind of accident happened, Bai Heng instinctively guessed that it had something to do with Mr. Bai.
After all, the letter from my mother at the beginning can explain the problem very well.Bai Heng firmly believed that as long as his grandfather was around, his father would not dare to force his mother to remember Bai Yan as his legitimate son.
So when he received the letter from his mother, Bai Heng's heart skipped a beat.
It's just that no matter how anxious he is, he can't leave the capital right now. Bai Heng believes that His Majesty will never let Xiao Qi leave until he recovers completely. ...
******
After Lu Qi returned home, he sent his men to look for the whereabouts of Mr. Bai.
According to what Bai Heng's confidants said, the last time the old man sent back news, it seemed to be in the north.
Besides, there were no other clues, so Lu Qi had no choice but to let people cast a net to search all the way north from Tongcheng.
After arranging everything, Lu Qi was a little distressed. He couldn't leave for the time being, but he didn't know how to tell Bai Heng?
Bai Heng was still waiting for his news.
Thinking of this, Lu Qi sighed again.
He looked at the blank rice paper on the table in front of him, and whenever he wanted to write a letter, he didn't know how to do it.He knew that what Bai Heng missed most was Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai.
If Bai Heng found out about Mr. Bai, his mind would definitely be affected.
But right now Bai Heng is taking care of the son's body and detoxifying him. If Bai Heng can't concentrate, and if the son makes a slight mistake at that time, not everyone can bear the wrath of the emperor.
But Lu Qi also knew that if Bai Heng settled down, he would definitely contact Mrs. Bai and his confidantes, and then he would also know the news of Mr. Bai's disappearance.
Previously, it was because they took Xiao Qi to travel around. At that time, Xiao Qi was still carrying the name of a rebellious party, and he and Bai Heng were also considered to be part of King Su's party, so it was not easy to contact the White House, so as not to implicate the White House. Inside.
Afterwards, Bai Heng was taken directly to Beijing, and he was unable to deliver news back to the White Mansion for the time being.
But Lu Qi knew that if the news from the White House was not sent, Bai Heng would find a way to contact the White House.
So he considered it over and over again, and finally took a pen to write about Mr. Bai.
After writing a few strokes, Lu Qi sent someone to deliver the letter.
At this time, Mother Jian, who was beside Mrs. Lu, came suddenly. When Lu Qi heard the servant's report, he paused, and then said lightly, "Let her in."
Lu Qi sat back in the wheelchair, and it didn't take long to see the servant leading Mother Jane over.
When Jian's mother saw him, a trace of pity and pity flashed quickly in her eyes, Lu Qi kept her expression on the spot, as if she didn't notice the other's expression, she just asked: "Mom is here at this time, does mother have any orders? "
Jane's mother put away her thoughts and said with a smile: "There is someone in Madam's house, Madam asked the young master to meet."
"...Oh? Are you from the capital?" Lu Qi was taken aback when he heard this, Madam Lu's family?Could it be the Xu family in the capital?
"That's right, Madam asked the servants to lead the young master there." Mother Jian said with a smile, showing off a bit in her tone, after all, the name of the Xu family in the capital is very famous.
"In that case, I will trouble Mom." Lu Qi did not expect that the Xu family would send someone to Tongcheng. He thought that the Xu family was busy currying favor with His Majesty.
Lu Qi followed Mrs. Jane to Mrs. Lu's main courtyard, and just stepped into the courtyard when she faintly heard chatter and laughter coming from the flower hall for guests, it sounded very lively inside.
"Are there a lot of people coming to my grandfather's house?" Lu Qi asked after tilting his head and listening for a while.
"Yes, there are quite a few people here." Mother Jane replied with a smile, but she didn't elaborate on who came.
Lu Qi curled his lips, not paying attention to Jane's mother's attitude.
When Jane's mother took him into the flower hall, the chatter and laughter of the people in the flower hall suddenly stopped, Lu Qi didn't realize it, and asked the servant to push him to Madam Lu.
"Here we come." Madam Lu said dryly with a stiff complexion.
Lu Qi nodded, and turned to the woman sitting beside Mrs. Lu, "The third aunt is here."
It turned out that the Xu family actually sent Mrs. Xu over here, and the third lady didn't come by herself, she also brought the juniors from the eldest and third bedrooms over. Looking at the young men and girls sitting by the side, Lu Qi He was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face.
Originally, Mrs. Xu would also come with her this time. After all, Dafang's children had all gone far away, not only Mrs. Xu's own children, but even the concubine's children, all of them came together.
It's just that Mrs. Xu, as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family, couldn't leave the entire Xu family behind, so in the end only Mrs. Xu came with a group of juniors.
Just before Lu Qi came, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Lu had already talked for a while, and Mrs. Lu also heard the intention of the other party's coming this time from Mrs. Third's words.
Mrs. Lu did not expect that in order to win over Lu Qi, the Xu family would actually promise Lu Qi the daughter of the younger generation of the Xu family.
In order not to look ugly, even the boy was brought here, lest the third wife would be too ugly with a group of little girls alone.
As far as the third wife is concerned, she doesn't look down on the Lu family at all, not to mention that Lu Qi is still a disabled person in a wheelchair.
Maybe the old man has spoken, even the old lady has this plan, the eldest and the third room can't hold back the old man and the old lady, so they have to pinch their noses to recognize this future son-in-law.
It's just that both the third lady and the eldest lady thought that the concubine's daughter was only used as a cover, and the concubine's daughter must be the one who will be released.
It's worth it to exchange a concubine from the Xu family for Lu Qi's closeness.
Although Mrs. Xu San didn't know why the old man and the old lady valued the Lu family, she really couldn't see what was so good about Lu Qi that it was worth marrying the Xu family's daughter.
However, Mrs. Xu is more obedient than the eldest lady. Although she is muttering in her heart, she is not like the eldest lady who has been arguing with Uncle Xu for a long time because of this matter. let out the door.
Mrs. Xu San had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but she didn't show any of it on her face. She still had a gentle smile on her face and asked Lu Qi about her daily life kindly, like a close elder.
Although Lu Qi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, he cooperated with the other party, asking and answering very well.
As everyone knows, Lu Qi's calm demeanor caught Mrs. Xu's attention. Leaving aside Lu's family background and Lu Qi's disability, Lu Qi's conditions are not bad.
She thought about making the first move and ordering Lu Qicai for the third-bedroom concubine.
Now that the old man has spoken, then this relative must definitely want to do it. As for which room to do it with, the old man doesn't care, as long as Lu Qi's wife is the daughter of the Lu family.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu San began to think, which concubine in the third room would be the most suitable marriage partner with Lu Qi?
After all, according to how much the old man values Lu Qi, Lu Qi's future will not be bad after coming to Lu Qi, and she doesn't want to take advantage of any concubine who is difficult to handle, otherwise, where will it be her turn to benefit in the future?
Because she had a plan in her heart, Mrs. Xu's eyes unconsciously drifted to the little girls sitting aside, and Lu Qi keenly noticed the eyes of the other party.
Then he took a quick and cryptic glance.
With just such a glance, Lu Qi suddenly figured out the purpose of Mrs. Xu's visit.
