Return of the Swallow

Lu Heng stared blankly at Lu Ge’s eyes gradually losing their brilliance; watching the black blood flowing from Lu Ge’s nostrils and corners of his mouth; watching his loose eyelids half-opened, his pupils gradually spreading; watching tightly The thin, old hand holding his sleeves gradually loosened...

Lu Heng's heart seemed to have been dug away with a knife, his eyes were sore and his head buzzed.

"Grandfather, grandfather..."

His voice was hoarse as if he had been rubbed by a rough stone, and his lips moved to call Elder Lu Ge.

Did he do something wrong?

Is he really wrong?

"Second Lord, don't be too sad."

"Yes, Brother Heng, your grandfather is old, and he is dead at this age. It must be gratifying to see you return home safely."

The relatives around him were persuading him.

But Lu Heng still looked dumbfounded.

If they knew what grandfather said before his death, I'm afraid they wouldn't comfort him so much?

He didn't know whether he was correct in breaking Lu's rules.However, the assassinations and assassinations he suffered after coming back with Cao Yuqing all the way are real.

He originally hesitated.But after he was almost poisoned to death by Crane Top Red, and his throat was almost cut by the assassin's knife, those hesitations gradually disappeared.

During this period, he was enough to be a bereaved dog.Since he left the capital to search for the treasure, he has not lived a peaceful life. He hid in Tibet and was driven into the desolate desert in no-man’s land. Even when he was seriously ill and might die at any time, he asked himself, is there no one in his heart. A little bit of injustice and resentment?

Why should he sacrifice?

Why the second uncle is already the head of the family and still refuses to let him go?

His original vacillation, after repeated assassinations without hesitation and several betrayals by his servants, finally turned into firmness.

In this world, only money and power will not betray him.

Why should my grandfather be so angry?

Although he did not actively sacrifice like the rules in the family, but took the second uncle and became the head of the family.But everything he did is still based on family interests. He and Li Qitian have now reached an agreement. Under the premise of ensuring family interests, he can get a more stable position. What's wrong with this?

Lu Heng's mind was a mess, his heart was torturing whether he was doing the right thing, but whenever a voice asked him, another voice would pop out to refute.

Kneeling in front of Lu Ge's coffin, mechanically burning paper money, tears in Lu Heng's eyes seemed to be broken, falling uncontrollably.

Those who flatter him are all complimenting his filial piety, how sad it is to go to the west for his grandfather.

He is indeed sad.

But even more sad, he was also for his own misty road ahead.

His beloved woman is now pregnant with another man's child.He told himself in every possible way, don't force, don't fight, just watch her silently.But when he got the news that Qin Yining was pregnant, who could understand the dazedness and sadness like being struck by lightning?

On the way to escape, he got along with Qin Yining every day.Because he could often see her at that time, he could persuade himself not to be forced, let go of all this, and let her and her husband live a happy life.

But he really separated from Qin Yining, and realized that he would have to live like this in this life, and he could only see her occasionally at the New Year's banquet, and he felt heartache.

Maybe the grandfather was right.

evil creature.

He really is a wicked barrier.

He thought he looked away, but in the end he still couldn't look away. He even wanted to stay with Qin Yining every day and just look at her to be satisfied, but how could Pang Xiao allow it?

He can't get the woman he loves.

Can't get real affection.

He has now lost even his grandfather who loved him most.

Lu Heng closed his eyes, letting tears wet his face.

I am afraid that the only things that can accompany him in this life are power and money?

The funeral of the Lu family was huge. Qin Yining was pregnant and could not go to the funeral in person. Pang Xiao arrived in person.

It was already July, and the weather was getting hotter, but Lu Heng was thinner and his face was pale and ugly.

Compared with Pang Xiao's high spirits, Lu Heng's desolation seemed to have been brought back from the desert, and it has never disappeared.

"Lord." Lu Heng saluted.

Pang Xiao sighed and repaid Lu Heng, "Brother Lu, please be sorry."

Lu Heng sighed, "Thank you, Lord."

"I haven't seen you for many days, you have lost a lot of weight. Although you work hard for your family affairs and you are sad about Lu Ge's affairs, you should also pay attention to your body. Later on, the beams of the Lu family will depend on you." Pang Xiao although I noticed Lu Heng’s feelings for Qin Yining, but now Qin Yining is his wife and she is pregnant for him. Lu Heng’s behavior has never been excessive. He still saved Qin Yining’s life in Tatar, and he treated Lu Heng. Care is also true.

Lu Heng smiled at Pang Xiao, his pale and chapped lips oozing with bleeding beads, "Thank you, Lord, I will take care."

Pang Xiao nodded, and didn't mention anything about Lu Heng's position in the Holy Spirit.

Lu Heng looked at Pang Xiao, how could he not hold back his concern for Qin Yining: "Is the princess all right these days?"

Pang Xiao squinted slightly, then smiled and said: "She is okay. Her mother and grandmother have moved to the house. Aunt Cao found two good maids to accompany her, although she is now a little heavier. , But everything is fine."

Lu Heng looked down, concealing the longing and envy that he couldn't hide.

If Qin Yining was his woman, how good would it be to be pregnant with his child?

"Congratulations, you will be a father in five months."

Pang Xiao smiled, "Thank you, don't be stingy with a big red envelope when you are an uncle."

Lu Heng's heart jumped, he understood the meaning of Pang Xiao's words, and couldn't help but sigh with his shrewdness and keenness.

To deliberately describe him as the child's uncle is to discuss him and Qin Yining as siblings.This is to remind him not to think too much about Qin Yining.

Lu Heng also smiled at Pang Xiao, "This is natural."

The two spoke for a while, and then each said goodbye.Lu Heng looked at Pang Xiao's back, his smile gradually disappearing.

When Pang Xiao came home, he went to the study in the outer courtyard first, ordered people to prepare hot water to wash thoroughly, and changed into a new robe before returning to Siqing Garden.

It was early summer, and Qin Yining wore a warm, light honey-colored double breasted bra, with one hand supporting the bulging abdomen, one hand being pulled by Ma Shi, and a few maidservants behind him, walking around the shoushou veranda of Siqing Garden .

Ma's nagging said: "...you just listen to your grandmother. Although your mother really loves you, it's not right to keep you from moving. If you look at those big family women giving birth, they always A dystocia, if you don’t give birth halfway, you will have no strength, why? It’s not because those women are pampered all day long, they are reluctant to walk a few steps, and they have to sit in a sedan chair. They still have to do housework with their stomachs of seven or eight months on weekdays. Just follow me and walk every day, which is good for you."

Qin Yining smiled and nodded, and accompanied by the breeze blowing in the fragrance of the trees, she brushed the broken hair from her loose bun onto her cheeks, and she lifted her hand away.

"Grandma's statement is reasonable." Pang Xiao walked closer with a smile, and supported Qin Yining's other arm, and said: "I'll give you a few sets of boxing techniques later, you can practice, and you can keep fit. It."

Ma Shi also said: "Yes, when you learn it, you are not afraid that you will not be able to deal with him when Dafu is not obedient."

Qin Yining was amused and couldn't help but laugh, and the rock candy behind him, even Xiao Congee, Jiyun, and Xianyun all laughed.

Qin Yining asked, "Did you see Erye Lu today? How is their family situation?"

Pang Xiao said, "Er Lu is okay, but he's a lot thinner. I think he has a lot of thoughts, like hiding a lot of things."

Qin Yining nodded and said, "The affairs of their family are also difficult to handle."

Seeing Qin Yining's eyebrows frowning and her face feeling sad, Pang Xiao couldn't help but said a little bitterly: "You seem to care about him?"

Qin Yining smiled and said: "I am a little worried. After all, I am also a friend of the same adversity, and I think maybe this time his grandfather's death is also related to his return to the capital. If he had not won the position of the head of the family and blocked the food and grass, I am afraid we There will be less bargaining chips at the court meeting. Regardless of whether he did it for us on purpose or not, even if he was just a piggyback. I also took his favor."

Pang Xiao thought of Lu Heng's handsome and elegant face, and then thought of this person's affection for Qin Yining, and there was some unspeakable unhappiness in her heart.But Qin Yining was frank and frank, and these unhappiness was not easy to show, so he nodded silently.

On the side Ma listened to their conversation, although she guessed who they were talking about, she didn't know a lot about the matter, so she didn't say much. She only took Qin Yining's hand and went to observe Pang Xiao's face again. See Pang Xiao. He was also silent. Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Ma proactively asked: "By the way, your extremely beautiful aunt is going out again?"

"Yes." Qin Yining smiled and nodded. Cao Yuqing returned home last month, but Sun looked uncomfortable with her. After all, she was also embarrassed. In addition, Jingzhe and Xiaoxue were all recovering from their injuries on the outside Zhuangzi. It's great already.Cao Yuqing said that he would look for these people, and she didn't know if Qin Huaiyuan arranged for them.

Ma Shi smiled and said, "That's really a pretty girl."

Qin Yining nodded and said, "Yes, and she is very skilled, she is a very loyal chivalrous woman."

"Really? I really haven't seen this." Ma was surprised, and then he was a little eager to try: "When she comes back, let her fight with my old woman. I'm just idle, my bones are lazy. and The people around Dafu are boring."

The people around Pang Xiao just accompany Ma to feed her, who dares to really hit her?

Qin Yining couldn't help but nodded with a smile: "Grandma likes it, I'll talk to Aunt Cao when I turn around."

The two of them were talking gossip, while Pang Xiao was listening, not so entangled in her heart.

At this moment, Hu Zi strode to the gate of the courtyard, saluted Qin Yining and his party, and then said: "Lord."

Pang Xiao knew that Huzi had something to answer, so he took the initiative to walk out of Siqing Garden.

"what happened?"
