Chapter six hundred and forty-three rumors

Xu Yan couldn't believe her ears. She turned around and looked at Zuo Rouqing, and her mind flashed with the evaluations she had investigated for Zuo Rouqing. What she knew, or in other words, Zuo Rouqing, who was known to the world, was a proud and rude lady with no IQ. She could only survive in Xu's country by her identity at home.

But her words really made Xu Yan look at her with admiration. She even wanted to stop Zuo Rouqing who was about to turn around and leave and asked them if they could be friends or something. However, so many people on the field were obviously shocked by Zuo Rouqing's words. At this time, everyone held their breath and did not dare to make any sound at all.

Xu Yan made a sound at this time and stopped her. After all, everyone agreed that she was standing on Peng Yue's side. If she stopped Zuo Rouqing, even if she was still standing on Peng Yue's side, it would inevitably be someone who thought too much, and the person who thought too much was Peng Yue.

Xu Yan's eyes kept wandering around the three people. When she saw Zuo Rouqing again, she understood something.

General Zuo has a very special status in Xu State, because General Zuo is almost the female general with the largest official position in Xu State. Although Xu State respects women, because Xu State values ​​culture over military affairs and some other reasons, female generals are still not as prominent as men in the future. Therefore, when General Zuo, a female general who uses wars as a god and has excellent military service, she quickly gained the support of the people of Xu State. Because of General Zuo, Lu Huai, would have approached Zuo Rouqing, otherwise, with Lu Huai's temperament, he would never accept a domineering woman.

General Zuo's power and status are so high that Xu Yan is not surprised that he will dote on her children. That's why Zuo Rouqing is safe and bold in the capital. Since General Zuo can protect Zuo Rouqing at this time, she must attach great importance to Zuo Rouqing's marriage. Now that Zuo Rouqing is having a scandal with Lu Huai, General Zuo will definitely investigate Lu Huai, so it will be sooner or later to know about Lu Huai and Peng Yue.

However, after hearing what Zuo Rouqing said just now, it seems that the mother and daughter had already known about Peng Yue's rescue of Lu Huai. Xu Yan's eyes floated silently to Lu Huai, and quickly lowered his head before he found her, then sighed, thinking in his heart: Lu Huai is miserable now. It is estimated that he originally wanted to engage Zuo Rouqing, and then use General Zuo's power to help him ascend to a high position to revenge Xu Luoyang. However, after such a fuss, the affairs between him and Zuo Rouqing were ruined, and his reputation would be damaged.

In Xu Country, men reached the age of getting married at the age of sixteen, and women could be a little later than men. So Peng Yue is now 20 years old and can tell her parents that it is because of official affairs, but the same situation is completely different when it comes to Lu Huai.

Lu Huai is twenty-two years older than Peng Yuexu. He is almost no one wants in Xu Country. He has no family background because he has no father or mother, and his official position is mediocre. The only one who is outstanding is his name "the first young man in the capital". What is linked to this is his whole body, his outstanding appearance and great talent.

Even so, most people still think that Lu Huai and Zuo Rouqing's combination was still the one who had taken advantage of it. After all, it would be a good destination for an elderly man like him to be a husband in someone else's house, let alone be Zuo Rouqing's official husband. In this way, Lu Huai's reputation was not good, and I am afraid that no noble girl would choose to let him in after this.

Thinking of this, a light suddenly popped up in Xu Yan's eyes: Oh my god! Isn't this a chance to come to the door? No one wants Lu Huai, isn't Peng Yue have a chance? Xu Yan's eyes suddenly caught the Minister of Rites who was hiding not far away, with his eyes floating around occasionally glanced at him.

The Minister of Rites was smiling inexplicably at Xu Yan, which scared him so much that he thought Xu Yan was coming to settle the score with him. But he didn't know that Xu Yan was thinking about how to reward him when he went back. After all, such things that were not easy to get were not often done. If it weren't for this person's "careful arrangement", she might not be worried about how to deal with this matter now.

Xu Yan observed left and right, seeing that the situation was almost time for her to appear. She inserted Ningshuang back into the sword sheath and then walked between Peng Yue and Lu Huai, and said in a very natural tone: "Everyone has been classmates since Qingyun Academy, and they have a friendship with classmates. Peng Yue, don't be standing there. Since Lu Huai expressed his sincere wishes to you, shouldn't you reply to him and encourage each other?" Then, Xu Yan desperately gave Peng Yue a few winks, hoping that she could understand the meaning of her eyes.

Peng Yue was stunned for a moment, it seemed that she had not recovered from this sudden change. She nodded to Xu Yan, and then said to Lu Huai according to Xu Yan's intention: "Thank you, you..." Before she could finish her voice, she heard Lu Huai's voice coldly: "Have you thought about it?" Peng Yue didn't understand what he meant, and was stunned for a moment.

Lu Huai looked at Zuo Rouqing's departure back calmly, and a sarcastic look surged in his eyes. Lu Huai was always gentle and polite in everyone's eyes. No matter what the situation, he would not show any other expressions other than a smile. Xu Yan always suspected that even if she threw rotten eggs at Lu Huai on the street, he could continue walking without changing his face.

However, such a person showed a sharp and cold side at this moment, which made people fear for no reason. He lowered his voice and repeated the sentence just now: "She was right. I am just an ungrateful man. I can't give you what you want. Are you sure you don't regret it?"

From Xu Yan's perspective, she could clearly see the changes in the expressions of the two. She saw Peng Yue's originally dim eyes gradually illuminating a little star because of Lu Huai's words. She saw Peng Yue trembling lips, and the smile on her lips could not be suppressed, but there were tears in her eyes. At this time, countless emotions were intertwined and changed on Peng Yue's face, and finally they all melted into a sentence: "I don't regret it."

Xu Yan didn't know if Lu Huai had seen Peng Yue at this moment. She only knew that Lu Huai had left after getting the answer, and never turned around to see it once. Xu Yan stroked Peng Yue who was lying on her shoulder and cried bitterly, but her heart was full of confusion.

Peng Yue got what she wanted, and she should be happy for her. But Lu Huai, who was so cold, seemed to foreshadow every day and every moment after their marriage. Xu Yan's "congratulations" lingers on her lips and can't say it.

She lamented, patted Peng Yue's back gently and comforted her: "Why are you crying? You have already got what you want. You must cheer up and prepare for your wedding."

She wiped away the tears left on Peng Yue's face and said deliberately: "Gou still wants to attend your wedding banquet, so it is not allowed to be ruined and make Gu lose face. If you are short of money, Gu can secretly lend you the money you saved over the years. For the sake of our handkerchiefs, we will barely need interest."
