Gongsun Yu pushed open the door and entered; in front of her was a busy scene.
Several books were spread out on the table, and under the table there was a messy discarded manuscript paper.
The man bent over the table and swiftly wrote, beautiful small characters jumping up and down on the Jiajiang Xuan. They looked like spirits that had come to life.
Gongsun Yu stood at the door for a while, realised her arrival did not wake up her husband who was busy with government affairs, so she took the initiative to ask: "Qingming is busy?"
Lu Qingming's hand paused, looked up at his wife and said: "Xiao Yu, why are you here? Go back and rest. I still have some work to do, after I finish I'll go back to accompany you. The kingdom is in troubled times, the border area strives for stability, we cannot slack off in the slightest. As the new governor, even if I return to Tiandu, I still can't put down the matters in the province — -there are too many chores, it's hard on you. "
Not only did Gongsun Yu not leave, she turned around and closed the door of the study: "Qingming, I want to say a few words to you."
"Good. You can say as much as you want. You go back first, I'll go back to the room to accompany you — – "
"I want to say a few words in your study now." Gongsun Yu looked at her husband with gentle eyes, but her attitude was extremely firm.
Lu Qingming put down the brush in his hand, his handsome facial features showed a smile. The southwest wind and sand wrinkled his skin but did not blow away his warrior spirit. He pushed the chair away and stood up, smiled and said: "Good. What do you want to say to me? "
Gongsun Yu handed over the leather bag in her hand and said: "Take a look at this first."
"What is it?" Lu Qingming took the bag, untied the seal and asked.
"It's guilt and remorse." Gongsun Yu said in a calm voice. But the rims of her eyes were a little red, a sign that she was extremely emotional.
Lu Qingming's expression was slightly stiff, then instantly returned to normal, pretending that he did not see his wife's strange expression, smiled and said: "I'm a little curious, what is it that made you sound so serious?"
Lu Qingming untied the bag and pulled out a few stacks of paper.
"Huh?" Lu Qingming looked puzzled, looked at Gongsun Yu and said: "These are examination papers?"
"This year's college entrance examination papers of the kingdom." Gongsun Yu said calmly.
"Interesting. Do I also need to be assessed? "As Lu Qingming spoke, he began to read the several sets of test papers in his hand.
With Lu Qingming's accumulation of knowledge, it was easy to read all these words.
He put the test paper back into the brown paper and said, "He could have gotten a higher score if he had checked it carefully. The points he lost were all mistakes that he shouldn't have made, but the difficult questions were answered very well by him – this student is very talented, he should be studying at Westwind University, right? Or other famous schools in the empire? "
"You know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at Lu Qingming and said. It wasn't a question. It was a confirmation.
"What do you mean?" Lu Qingming opened the test paper again and said with a smile, "Li Muyang. It was an unfamiliar name. How would I know who he is? "
"I know you know who he is." Gongsun Yu stared at her husband without blinking and said: "16 years ago you lied to me, and now you still want to lie to me? Lu Qingming, if you dare to lie to me again, I won't forgive you for the rest of my life. "
Lu Qingming's eyes were filled with sorrow, his expression was filled with pain as he said: "Xiao Yu, what do you want me to do?"
"I want him back." Gongsun Yu said in a firm voice: "I want to bring him back."
"That's impossible." Lu Qingming shook his head. "16 years ago we sent him back, now it's impossible to bring him back – Xiao Yu, you know. It's impossible. What reason do we have to bring him back? How do we explain his existence? "
"Lu Qingming, he's my son, our son – Back then you all thought he was disabled, a waste, worried that he wouldn't survive, worried that he would become a deformed child, worried that he would make your Lu Family lose face, worried that every day he lives, your Lu Family would become the laughing stock of Tiandu –"
Gongsun Yu clenched her fists with all her might, trying hard not to shed tears, she said through gritted teeth: "But now you see. He's not disabled, he's not a waste, he's not a deformed child – on the contrary, he's smarter than many people, he works harder than many people. He deserves a better education. He deserves everything that he deserves. He should return to the Lu Family, return to his parents – I will explain to him, so that he doesn't hate us, don't hate the Lu Family. Then we will use our whole lives to pay for the mistakes we've made to him. "
Gongsun Yu looked at Lu Qingming and said word by word: "So, I want him to come back."
"Xiao Yu –" The veins on Lu Qingming's forehead bulged, his eyes were filled with intense pain and entanglement. "These days I've been avoiding you, I was worried that you would have a showdown with me, worried that you would reveal everything to me and make me give you a result. I admit, I know who he is, I'm more concerned about his existence than you are – I've already seen this exam paper. I also know you'll definitely see it. "
"I also want to bring him back, I'm the same as you, I also want to bring him back immediately. I don't need you to explain to him, I will personally explain to him, I want to atone for my sins – whether he forgives me or not, I want to immediately stand in front of him and tell him everything. I wanted him to know what had happened that night. I want him to know that he should have had a different life – "
"But, we can't do that. As you just said, we sent him away because we were worried that he wouldn't survive, or if he survived he would become a deformed child. We were worried that we would be ridiculed and attacked by our political enemies – now if we bring him back, how do we explain his existence? How do we explain our relationship? How do we explain where he went before? The scandal that happened sixteen years ago, after sixteen years of fermenting and brewing, has become unbearably stinky – if we now announce to the outside world that Li Muyang is an abandoned child of the Lu Family, how would the Lu Family have the face to stand in Tiandu? How would we still have the face to stand in the court? "
"Not to mention the complicated situation in Tiandu, father is fighting for the position of the left minister, the Lu Family is in the middle of a whirlpool, countless people are watching and guarding against us. Every member of the Lu Family is afraid of Xiaoxin, afraid that at this critical juncture we will be discouraged — -Xiao Yu, if we bring him back at this time, wouldn't that be setting up a target for ourselves?"
"That's the reason you refuse?" Gongsun Yu was extremely disappointed with her husband. "It's just like you threw him away sixteen years ago, it's really ridiculous."
"Xiao Yu, give me a little more time. We now know that he's living well, and he will most likely come to Tiandu to study. At that time, he will be right under our eyes, we can take good care of him, and when the time is right, we will bring him back and reunite with him — -Is that okay? "
"Lu Qingming — –"
"Xiao Yu — –"
"I don't want to wait another day."
"Xiao Yu — –"
"I want him to go to Westwind University." Gongsun Yu said aloud.
"Good." Lu Qingming immediately agreed and said: "I've seen his papers, if nothing unexpected happens, he can go to Westwind University."
"I want to make sure he goes to Westwind University." Gongsun Yu said.
"Good." Lu Qingfeng nodded and said: "I'm sure. He can definitely go to Westwind University. If they don't let Li Muyang go to Westwind University, I will tear down the gate of Westwind University and use it as firewood. "
"Lu Qingming, I hope this time you won't let me down." Gongsun Yu took a deep look at her husband, turned around and walked outside.
Lu Qingming's mood was incomparably agitated, pacing back and forth in the study.
"Come." Lu Qingming shouted aloud.
Personal guard Li Pingan pushed open the door and entered, asking: "General, what are your orders?"
Lu Qingming used to be a general who went to battle and killed the enemy, Li Pingan and Yue Feilong were members of his personal guard. Later he transferred to a civil position and became the governor of a province, but the people closest to him still like to call him 'General'.
"Is the master in?" Lu Qingming asked aloud.
"This — — I'll go ask?" Li Pingan said in a low voice. He thought to himself: whether the master is in or not, we don't know and we don't dare to know.
"No need." Lu Qingming waved his hand and said: "You can go."
"Yes. General. " After Li Pingan went out, he winked at Yue Feilong and said: "General's performance certainly did not satisfy Madam, Madam is angry and General is disappointed — —"
"Li Pingan — —" Yue Feilong was about to pull out his sword again.
Before the two of them could do anything, Lu Qingming came out carrying a document bag.
The two of them were about to follow, when they heard Lu Qingming said: "No need to come."
Lu Qingming came to the left side of the courtyard and asked the old housekeeper who came to greet him: "Is father here?"
"The master is meeting guests in the study." The housekeeper said with a smile. "Young master do you want to come back later?"
"I'll sit down and wait." Lu Qingming glanced at the housekeeper and said.
The housekeeper glanced at Lu Qingming and said: "Young master, please go to the tea room and have a cup of tea."
"Thank you."
Lu Qingming waited in the tea room for half an hour before the housekeeper came in and invited him to the study.
Lu Qingming walked in, looked at his father who was sitting there like a towering mountain and said in a low voice: "Dad, I want to bring Muyang back."
