Chapter 10
The Duke Chengguo Mansion, located in the place where the royal relatives and nobles gather, was in full swing at this time.
"Duke, did you beat Shangshu Feng today?" Duke Cheng looked at Duke Cheng with an angry face and looked dissatisfied.
It's really not worry-free for old man.
She had seen Shangshu Feng. With his thin body, the old man could beat him half to death with just one punch. How could he explain to the emperor at that time?
Duke Cheng became even more angry when he heard this: "It was obviously a fight. Madam, look!"
Seeing Duke Cheng pointing at his beard, Duke Cheng looked carefully, but couldn't see the reason.
"See what?"
"Beard!" Cheng Guogong felt very distressed, "Several of them were pulled off by the old sour scholar."
Mrs. Cheng Guogong was surprised: "Shangshu Feng has such skills?"
It shouldn't be. She can fight five in one fight if she is like Feng Shangshu.
"Old Sour Religion is just performing extraordinaryly." Duke Cheng waved his hand.
A servant hurried in and reported: "The eldest son is back."
When Duke Cheng heard this, he hurriedly ordered someone to invite him in.
Soon a young man walked in quickly and saluted the Duke of Chengguo and his wife: "The grandson has met his grandfather and grandmother."
One day, he didn't see his eldest grandson, and his second grandson disappeared, so Mrs. Cheng Guo's wife turned red when she saw Lu Xuan: "Xuan'er is back."
Lu Xuan looked at his grandmother's red eyes and asked for a puzzlement: "Is there anything wrong in the mansion?"
The disciples stopped talking, the low atmosphere along the way, and the abnormal fragility of his grandmother, he was sure that something happened in the mansion.
My grandmother was born into a general. When she was young, she went to the battlefield with her grandfather. She was not the kind of old lady who wiped her tears after not seeing her grandson for a few days.
Duke Cheng sighed heavily: "Your second brother is missing."
Lu Xuan was stunned, his cold eyebrows and eyes became sharp: "Missing?"
Mrs. Cheng Guogong's wife blushed and said, "There are Miss Feng from the Minister of Rites' Mansion who disappeared together."
"What does this mean?" Lu Xuan asked.
"Everyone says your second brother and Miss Feng have eloped."
"Impossible." Lu Xuan denied it flatly, only to find it absurd, "Grandfather, grandmother believes that the second brother will elope with someone?"
That was his twin brother. Even if the two were very different in nature, they still had some tacit understanding. It was as ridiculous to say that the second brother would elope with others as he would elope with others.
"I didn't believe it, but the rumors spread all at once. The truth will be revealed unless Mo'er is retrieved." Mrs. Cheng Guogong thought about the rumors these two days, and her heart seemed to be blocked.
"Where have you visited at home in the past two days? Have you gained anything?"
Cheng Guogong said: "I have almost searched the capital. I have asked people for any place your second brother might go. This is also the case. Someone saw your second brother and Miss Feng go out of the city..."
"Who saw it?"
"Some vendors near the city gate have seen it. Their description is exactly what your second brother and Miss Feng were dressed on the day they disappeared."
Lu Xuan keenly grasped the suspicion: "There are countless people entering and leaving the city. How did the vendors notice the second brother and Miss Feng?"
"They said the two were walking in a hurry. The girl fell and fell off her veil and was falling near them, so she had an impression."
"It sounds too coincidental to hear grandson, it seems like he was deliberately making noises and making people remember them."
Duke Cheng sighed: "Now there are two possibilities. Either someone deliberately created a conflict for the Lu and Feng families, or Mo'er and Miss Feng really looked at each other's right--"
Lu Xuan's forehead veins leaped straight: "The second possibility is that my grandson thinks it does not exist."
Mrs. Cheng Guogong coughed lightly: "It is said that Miss Feng has outstanding appearance and has known your second brother for a long time..."
When Mu Ai was young, who could say that it was so absolute? If everyone was controlled by reason, there would be no legends such as Cowherd and Weaver Girl, who died for love and turned into butterflies.
Lu Xuan frowned: "What's the use of appearance?"
Mrs. Cheng Guogong looked at her eldest grandson with cold eyes and suddenly became a little panicked.
This kid is not enlightened yet.
"Those vendors who said they had met their second brother and Miss Feng, should they still set up stalls as usual?"
Duke Cheng was not clear about this detail and said, "Send the manager tomorrow morning to take a look."
Mrs. Cheng Guogong followed and said, "Xuan'er, you have worked hard for many days. Report your mother to safety and go and rest. You will plan for your second brother tomorrow."
"Isn't my father in the mansion?"
When he mentioned his son Cheng Guogong, he gritted his teeth: "Don't pay attention to him!"
The rebellious son was urged to go to another place earlier and has not come back yet. Of course, it is also causing trouble when he comes back.
"Then grandson surrendered."
Lu Xuan left the residence of Duke Chengguo and his wife and rushed to Huazhangyuan.
The rays of clouds disappear in the sky, and the night falls quietly, and the lush flowers and trees of Huazhang Garden has a kind of depressing tranquility.
The boy walked over and the eyes of the maid who was guarding the door of the house burst into bright light: "Second Young Master!"
There was a sound in the room, and a woman walked out quickly: "Mo'er is back--"
Seeing the boy clearly, his voice came to an abrupt end.
"Mother." The boy in black standing on the stone steps greeted the woman.
The woman looked at him regularly, and after a while, she found her voice: "It's Xuan'er."
Although the two sons look the same, they can still tell at a glance that those who are mothers are.
This is not the second son Lu Mo, but the eldest son Lu Xuan.
For the prince’s wife Fang, the palms and backs of hands are all flesh, and she loves both sons, but there is still a difference between the palms and backs of hands.
The eldest son is casual in nature and has not been with her since childhood. When he grows up, he often doesn't have any figures.
When the second son was born, he was much weaker than the eldest son. She had spent so much effort to raise him carefully and became a form that everyone envied.
She knew in her heart that she preferred her second son more.
Looking at his mother who had covered her disappointment, Lu Xuan also knew this, but he didn't care.
My younger brother gets more with his mother and gets more love from his mother. He gets less with his mother and gets more freedom.
There are gains and losses.
"My son just returned home and came to pay tribute to you."
The night wind was a little cool, and it was cooler through Fang's fingertips. She grabbed the boy's hand hard: "Xuan'er, your brother is missing!"
"I heard from my grandfather and grandmother."
"Don't believe Mo'er's words of elopement with others. How could Mo'er fall in love with those messy women!" Fang said, and his hands were unconsciously exerting force.
Long nails sank into the back of the teenager's hands.
The stinging pain came, and Lu Xuan had no reaction on his face, and he said lightly: "I believe my brother won't do such a thing. Mother, don't worry, I've seen the prince tomorrow morning, so I'll go to investigate my brother's disappearance."
Only then did Fang let go of his hand and smile.
"Then my son won't disturb my mother's rest." Lu Xuan said goodbye to Fang and walked towards the residence. When he walked to the place where there was no one, he paused slightly, rubbed the back of his hand that had been pinched out of his marks.
The boy frowned and thought to himself: It still hurts a lot.
Fang stood on the stone steps and disappeared, his son glanced at the maid: "You can admit your mistakes, but you won't get the punishment!"
The maid was trembling and felt a little aggrieved.
Everyone was thinking about the second young master these two days. The eldest young master suddenly appeared, and her first reaction was that the second young master was back.
