Chapter 188 Mace

Lu Chengjing drooped his head, "Madam, I accept the beating and the punishment, please don't annoy me."

Shang Wan curled his lips, "Let's talk about this when we get back."

——Resolve internal conflicts at home.

Zhong Chenghong looked disappointed. It seemed that the two of them couldn't fight.

Lu Chengjing looked at him and asked quietly: "When you rescued Wu Anbo, did you know his identity?"

Zhong Chenghong: "I don't know."

Lu Chengjing observed his expression thoughtfully.

There was no need to ask further questions at this point. Shang Wan winked at Lu Chengjing, and the two walked to the side to discuss.

Shang Wan asked in a low voice: "Do you want to stay or not?"

Lu Chengjing hesitated.

He could find out Zhong Chenghong's past, but he didn't believe that Wu Anbo would not be able to find out with his power.

Daughters from powerful families are carefully cultivated since childhood, and when they grow up, they are used for marriage, bringing help to the family and making the family more prosperous.

My uncle’s daughter doesn’t have to worry about getting married. Rather than talking nonsense like "winning the favor of the lady of the house", he preferred that the lady of the house took the initiative to show her favor to Zhong Chenghong after receiving his father's suggestion.

Excluding the possibility that Wu Anbo lost his mind, why did he marry his daughter to Zhong Chenghong, a man with bad conduct and no background or influence?

Furthermore, Zhong Chenghong himself is timid and fearful. Would he really step forward to lure away the assassin without knowing Wu Anbo's identity?
Afterwards, Wu Anbo's reaction was also very strange. Not only did he bring Zhong Chenghong back to Beijing, he also allowed him to live in the uncle's house and study with his children, and he also wanted to marry his biological daughter to him.

The development of the story went so smoothly that it seemed like a story. If Zhong Chenghong hadn't suddenly been lucky and a pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head, there would only be two words to describe it - conspiracy.

Wu Anbo's actions were not so much his appreciation of Zhong Chenghong as a person, but his eagerness to turn Zhong Chenghong into one of his own, so as to achieve some ulterior motives.

If they kill Zhong Chenghong now, the advantage is that they don't have to worry about Zhong Chenghong coming back with helpers to cause trouble, and they can also vent their anger. However, the disadvantage is that it will attract the investigation of Wu Anbo Mansion, and may even involve some more troubles. Things to do.

Lu Chengjing frowned slightly, unable to make a decision for a moment.

Shang Wan was not as thoughtful as Lu Chengjing, but he also guessed that Wu Anbo's purpose in valuing Zhong Chenghong was impure, much like fattening a pig before killing it.

But no matter what Wu Anbo's purpose was, Zhong Chenghong had become their trouble now, and Shang Wan's tendency was to kill people and silence them, so that everything would be over.

Since Zhong Chenghong hired a murderer to kill her, he must be prepared to be killed in reverse.

The black dagger slipped out of his sleeve, turned between his slender fingers, and moved against the delicate skin.

The dagger collected from the assassin unexpectedly caught Shang Wan's heart.

She asked while playing with the dagger: "You haven't thought about it yet?"

Lu Chengjing always thought a lot, and seeing Shang Wan's actions, he knew that she had made up her mind.

Naturally, the couple had to unite as a front. He said in a slightly cold voice, "We can't stay."

No matter what happens next, at least solve the immediate trouble first.

"Husband and wife see the same thing." Shang Wan raised a chuckle on his lips, put the dagger back in his sleeve, and dropped two words, "Wait."

After the words fell, the scarlet figure swayed slightly, dragging Zhong Chenghong towards the river with one hand.

She had already predicted the way of death.

Lu Chengjing looked at Shang Wan's back and followed him without hesitation.

A quarter of an hour later, the couple each changed into clean clothes and drove the bullock cart back onto the official road.

"I'm going to sleep for a while. Call me when you get there." Shang Wan lay in the car and yawned lazily. He covered his face with a hat to protect him from the sun and closed his eyes against the big wooden barrel.

Lu Chengjing pulled the reins to make the cart go slower and reduce the bumps.

The bright sunshine shines through the clouds, and the chirping of the cicadas becomes louder and louder.

The bullock cart slowly drove into the village and headed towards the houses on the hillside. "Xu~"

The bullock cart stopped in front of the closed door. The woman in scarlet clothes moved, and she didn't need to shout that she was awake.

It was a very comfortable sleep.

Shang Wan jumped off the bullock cart, raised his hands and stretched.

She helped unload the cart from the ox, glanced at the red face of the person next to her, touched it with her hand, frowned and asked, "Are you sunburned?"

"It's a little hot." Lu Chengjing shook his head, "I'll just put some ointment on it in a while.

Looking at the red-faced fox in front of him, Shang Wan secretly grinded his teeth.

——She's so promising. She hasn't even started to settle the score yet, but this person has already resorted to a bitter trick.

"There are two bamboo hats on the ox cart." After saying this, Shang Wan took the reins and led the ox to the cowshed to rest.

Lu Chengjing paused, and a smile flashed across his long and narrow eyes.

The door opened inside, and Chu Xu poked his little head out from the door. Seeing that Lu Chengjing was the only one, he called his uncle before asking, "Where's Aunt Shang?"

"In the bullpen." Lu Chengjing placed the cart next to the wall and unfolded the tung oil cloth to cover it.

Chu Xu walked over to help hold the cloth, took a second look at Lu Chengjing's face, and realized something was wrong, "Why is your face so red?"

"Dried in the sun." Lu Chengjing tied the four corners of the tung oil cloth to the car and answered casually.

Chu Xu looked at him closely, his amber cat eyes were bright and cunning, and he asked in a low voice like a thief: "Uncle, have you made Aunt Shang angry?"

Lu Chengjing: "..."

Where did this kid figure it out?
He denied decisively: "No."

Chu Xu blinked and gave Lu Chengjing an idea, "Uncle, you can kneel on the washboard."

The corners of Lu Chengjing's eyes twitched and he was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chu Xu put his little hands behind his back and muttered: "My father is all about kneeling with a mace, but it's a pity that we don't have one here."

Lu Chengjing: "..."

kneel! Mace? !

He remained calm and asked with a cold face: "Have you finished copying today's book?"

Chu Xu's little face wrinkled, "Uncle, I'm giving you some advice, how can you repay kindness with hatred?"

"What's your idea?" Shang Wan's voice came from behind the two of them. They both excited at the same time and straightened their waists.

"No." Chu Xu scratched his head, ran through the door, and quickly moved away from this place of right and wrong.

Lu Chengjing knew that Shang Wan must have heard it, and thought about what to say. Shang Wan lowered his eyes, glanced at his knees lightly, turned around and walked in with his things in his arms.

Lu Chengjing:?

Lu Chengjing:! !
Lu Chengjing: "..."

"Daddy!" Yuanyuan ran home on Xiao Hui, and saw Lu Chengjing standing at the door, stretching out his little hands to pat him, his sweet voice making people feel comfortable.

"Be good." Lu Chengjing reached out to pick up his daughter who was playing dirty in the mountains and walked in together.

The sun is hot and dazzling.

The two men in black were tied up and left in the courtyard to be exposed to the sun. They could not even open their eyes and were as wilted as dried radishes.

Lu Chengjing asked in confusion: "Why did you throw it here?"

"They planned to escape and almost hurt Anian." Xiaohuan was washing vegetables by the well. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Teach them a lesson."
