Chapter 261 The Death of Lu Chengyuan
"My lord, something is wrong, someone is dead!" A confidant ran all the way into the study, saying without even breathing, "Lu, Lu, Lu Juren is dead."
The county magistrate flicked his wrist, and the ink on the pen tip dripped onto the newly written characters, smearing them.
He asked with a trembling voice: "Which Lu Juren?"
God, it couldn't be that young man Lu Chengjing, right?
"That's the man from Lu who came to the county government yesterday to report to the official." The confidant wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The inn is now full of people, and Capt. Liu has already taken the widower there. Sir, you should go as well. Let’s take a look!”
“As we walked,” the county magistrate threw away his brush and asked his confidants to lead the way.
At the same time, Shang Wan, who was doing accounts behind the counter, also heard the news about the death of Yunlai Inn.
"All the widowers have gone. I heard that he committed suicide by hanging himself, and his tongue was sticking out."
Ms. Lou spit out the melon seed peels, sighed and shook her head, "No one succeeded. He didn’t even commit suicide. How could he commit suicide when he saw that he was about to run for the future? ”
She couldn't figure it out.
"Maybe I can't figure it out for the moment." Shang Wan lowered his head and continued to read the account book, "It has nothing to do with us, just enjoy the fun, don't get involved in the dead people's affairs."
"Me too. I have no intention of getting involved." Mrs. Lou chewed some melon seeds and asked, "Do you really want to accompany your wife to the capital for the exam?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Lou stared at Shang Wan's fair and smooth profile for a moment, her lips moved a few times, and she looked hesitant to speak.
Shang Wan raised his eyes and looked at her: "Just say what you want to say."
"Ahem." Mrs. Lou cleared her throat and looked around the store, "Um, your guy is not in the store, right?"< br>
"No, he took Yuanyuan to the old sugar shop to buy osmanthus candies."
"Then..." Madam Lou lowered her voice, "If I have something to say, I'll just say it. Listen. "If you feel bad, don't upset me."
"Am I such a stingy person?" Shang Wan stopped looking at the account book, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and waited for Mrs. Lou to continue. .
"I think we women should put business first. How much effort have you put into making the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion what it is now? Who doesn't admire the sisters in the club? You have to go to Beijing to take the exam just for your family's reputation. If anything happens, it won't be worth it."
Mrs. Lou glanced at Shang Wan's expression as she spoke, and continued after seeing that she was not annoyed.
“Don’t blame me for speaking outright. Men in this world are all the same. When they have no money or power, they will coax you and pamper you every day and treat you as their beloved. Once they gain power, then But his face has changed, and you have to coax and pamper him.”
“Sister, I’ve been through it all. It’s hard for us women to survive in this world, so it’s better to take care of ourselves first. Once you gain power, you won’t remember how much you paid for him.”
“You can do your business well and don’t panic if you have money. Even if the man has a new love outside, we won’t be afraid. The big deal is that we can live alone and be more relaxed. ”
Mrs. Lou thought that Shang Wan was her sister, so she risked Shang Wan's displeasure by saying this. She saw how much Shang Wan had put into the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, and she didn't want Shang Wan to do anything just for the sake of a man's future. Leave your business behind.
She is the best lesson learned from the past. She sacrificed her heart and soul for that dead man. What was the result?
Haha, I haven’t even said a good word. I can’t rely on myself for everything now.
"Sister, think carefully about what I'm saying," Mrs. Lou grabbed a handful of melon seeds. "Let men fight for what they want. It's their ability to fight for it. Why should we bother with that?"< br>
"I will never let my wife down in this life." A clear voice interrupted suddenly, and Lu Chengjing walked in with his daughter in one hand and two packs of osmanthus candies in the other.
Mrs. Lou: "..."
The melon seeds suddenly no longer smell good.
"What about that? I still have something to do in the store, so I'll leave first." It's best to leave first.
Mrs. Lou ran out of the door awkwardly, then suddenly turned back, picked up her plate of fried melon seeds, winked at Shang Wan, and said silently: Think carefully.
When passing by Lu Chengjing, she didn't forget to say, "It's all what I said, it has nothing to do with my sister."
Shang Wan curled his lips in amusement and watched Lady Lou running out the door.
Lu Chengjing put his daughter down on the ground and handed her the sweet-scented osmanthus candy he was carrying so that the little milk baby could share it with the people in the store.
Yuanyuan first gave two pieces to her mother, and then gave one piece to her father, and then walked around the store holding the paper bag, shouting uncles, aunts, and aunts, sharing the sweet-scented osmanthus candies for everyone. .
The little milky voice was sweet and waxy, making people in the store smile and roll their eyes.
Our Lu Jieyuan couldn't laugh at this moment. He reached out and touched Shang Wan's arm, "Madam, please pay attention to me."
Shang Wan looked up at him and shrugged, "I didn't say that. ”
She is a listener.
"I will never be that person who betrays your heart." Lu Chengjing took Shang Wan's hand and held it tightly, "If Madam wants to stay and guard the Spiritual Medicine Pavilion, I can go to Beijing alone. Wait. I’ll come back to pick you up after the results are released.”
Shang Wan blinked, “That’s what you said, so I’ll keep you...”
"Madam." Lu Chengjing whispered, his long eyebrows slightly frowned, the ends of his eyes were red, and his deep eyes seemed to contain infinite grievances.
Everyone who was secretly watching was dumbfounded. Lu Jieyuan, who was usually cold and cold-faced, actually had such an expression.
A young girl and a young daughter-in-law secretly looked at him and her face turned red. She covered her face with a fan and did not dare to look again.
Shang Wan also remembered that this was in public. The fox he raised was being looked at by outsiders, and he felt a little unhappy for no reason.
She turned her head and glanced, and everyone immediately looked away. People were buying medicines and chatting, but they kept glancing at the counter from the corner of their eyes.
Shang Wan: "..."
She simply pulled Lu Chengjing out from behind the counter and went to the backyard.
After entering the room and closing the door, Shang Wan turned around. Just as he opened his mouth, without saying a word, a kiss with the fragrance of osmanthus suddenly covered her.
Shang Wan: Yes, this fox is really stimulated.
After comforting my fox, half an hour passed.
Shang Wan curled his fingers and hooked the smooth chin of the person in front of him, and his plump lips were a little more colorful than before, "Okay, let's get down to business. Does the incident at the inn have anything to do with you?"
"Yes. ." Lu Chengjing snorted from his nose, and his breath became confused.
"You did it very quickly." Lu Chengjing was out for a long time yesterday. Shang Wan thought he was out to socialize again, but he didn't expect that he was secretly doing something important.
"You committed suicide by hanging. You didn't go out last night. How did you do it?"
"It's just some verbal tricks, not worth mentioning." Lu Chengjing lowered his head and kissed Shang Wan's green face. On the fingertips, "Madam, do you still remember that I met a stranger when I went out to study?"
Shang Wan nodded.
Lu Chengjing said slowly: "That person has the ability to confuse people's hearts. With the help of tactics, he can influence people's minds with just a few words. If he encounters people with weak minds, he can also control their behavior."
Shang Wan curled his lips: "Lu Chengyuan is not a weak-minded person."
"So I used the drunken incense on him first."
