That's good news, but there's also bad news.
The bad news is that Yan Song seems to have made up his mind this time and wants to make an example of him, from Lu Tingjiang's heart, it is difficult for Shen Lian to come out of the prison alive this time, and Lu Tingfang's encounter is even stronger, but the result is also unpredictable.
When Lu Shen left, he bowed deeply to Luo Xin and said, "No, I'm sorry." β
Then he turned around and left, Luo Xin looked at Lu Shen's departing back without saying a word, and his expression was gloomy. He knew what Lu Shen meant by being sorry, that is, the Lu family was going to divorce him.
Sure enough, seven days later, Lu Fu unilaterally proposed to withdraw from the marriage. Luo Xin remained silent.
The day after Luo Xin learned that Lu Fu had withdrawn from the marriage, Wu Tongzhi came to the door in person. Luo Xin took Wu Tongzhi into the study, and after serving tea, he sat there silently, his face a little haggard.
Wu Tongzhi was also silent, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Halfway, Wu Tongzhi asked softly:
"No, how are you preparing for the expedition?"
The corners of Luo Xin's mouth twitched, and then he said lightly: "How can my heart be calm?" β
Wu Tongzhi's face was even more embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say for a while. But he came with a mission today, Sun Jixian, as the prefect, couldn't come to talk to Luo Xin about it, and He Xinyin's fiery temper said that he wouldn't come, but after so much time, Luo Xin hasn't replied to the letter, and they don't have the bottom in their hearts, and now they hear that Lu Fu unilaterally withdrew from the marriage, so they feel that this is an opportunity, and in the end, Wu Tongzhi can't say goodbye to those two people, and came to Luo Xin with an embarrassed heart. Now when he heard Luo Xin's words, he felt panicked. scolded Xu Jie in his heart, but finally spoke:
"No, what are your plans?"
Luo Xin said lightly: "What else can I plan?" Prepare for scientific expeditions. β
Wu Tongzhi's face was stagnant, and then he sighed softly and said, "No, let's not be angry, you can see and understand the current situation." If you don't agree to Xu Jie's two conditions, it is impossible to make the list. β
"I know!"
"I know you're still ......"
Luo Xin shook his head and said, "Lord Wu, my heart is very chaotic now, and I can't make any decisions at all, so I can't give you some time." β
Wu Tongzhi sighed and said, "No, you can decisively raid Alatan Khan and crisscross the grassland." Why are you so indecisive in this matter? Isn't it just a woman? What if you marry Xu Jie's daughter? You're still you, Xu Jie's is still Xu Jie. β
Luo Xin slowly raised his eyes and looked at Wu Tongzhi: "What about Dai'er?" Don't you think she's innocent? Should she be a victim? β
Wu Tongzhi's face showed disapproval: "No, I'm still the same sentence, will I be a woman soon?" Lu Rudai is innocent, but the decision to withdraw from the marriage was not made by you, but by Lu Fu, you are not sorry. β
"I'm sorry!" Luo Xin suddenly raised his voice: "Is my teacher really arrested because of Shen Lian's relationship?" Lord Wu and I are very clear.
No!
Not at all!
The teacher was implicated because of me, and it was because of me that I went to prison. The Lu family was also forced to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage because of me.
My teacher is innocent, and the Lu family is innocent. Lu Rudai is even more innocent.
Now let me marry Xu Jie's granddaughter, and then take the township test for high school and become an official in the court. But my teacher was imprisoned, and Lu Rudai innocently bore the infamy of repentance.
You say I'm not sorry? β
Luo Xin suddenly raised his hand and hammered his chest and shouted, "I'm sorry! How can I not be upset? I'll lose my heart for the rest of my life! From now on I won't be able to sleep at night! My teacher was in jail because of me. My fiancΓ©e was infamous for me. Am I still a man, you say? β
Tears flowed from Luo Xin's eyes, but he didn't wipe them, just staring at Wu Tongzhi opposite with red eyes.
Wu Tongzhi looked at Luo Xin stunned. And Luo Xin stared at him deadly, his eyes full of tears. Silence returned to the room, except for the heavy breathing of two men.
At this time. Wu Tongzhi suddenly felt that the air in the room seemed to have weight, flooding towards him like a tidal wave, making him feel suffocated. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind and said:
"No......" Then he shook his head again and said, "I don't know what to say, but have you already decided?" Are you going to reject Xu Jie? β
Luo Xin's upright body leaned back on the back of the chair in a daze, half a sound, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and said:
"Lord Wu, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been angry with you just now."
"It's okay!" Wu Tongzhi waved his hand, and then said, "I can understand!" β
"Thank you!" Luo Xin said softly.
"No, don't blame the old man for forcing you, have you made a decision now?"
Luo Xin's face was blue for a while, red for a while, and changed color back and forth. Half-ringing, his face showed a look of frustration and said:
"I can't make up my mind right now!"
"No!" Wu Tongzhi said earnestly: "Don't hesitate. If you hesitate any longer, Xu Jie changes his mind, and it will be too late. β
Luo Xin sat there in a daze again, and gradually his expression became more and more sluggish. Half-loud, he said a little blankly:
"Lord Wu, don't give me some more time."
Wu Tongzhi wanted to speak again and again, and finally sighed: "Okay! No, you have a good rest, I hope you can make a decision sooner. β
Luo Xin didn't say anything, just looked at Wu Tongzhi blankly, Wu Tongzhi glanced at Luo Xin with some worry, sighed again, stood up, and walked out.
Luo Xin didn't get up to send him off, it stands to reason that this is very rude, and it is impossible for such a thing to happen with Luo Xin's cultivation. So Wu Tongzhi walked out of the door, looked back at Luo Xin, and saw Luo Xin's eyes empty and dull. Wu Tongzhi's eyebrows were even more worried, and he sighed again and left slowly.
After Wu Tongzhi left.
Luo Xin, who was sitting in the chair, his dull expression was gone, and his empty eyes became shining. Standing up, he walked to the corner, picked up a towel and wiped his face, and muttered in a low voice:
"Xu Jie, I bet that you are reluctant to give up this opportunity, you will definitely wait for me to make a decision. Of course I won't give you the answer so quickly, let you prepare calmly, hehe......"
"Daqing!"
"Master Hou!"
Lu Daqing immediately appeared at the door, looking at Luo Xin worriedly, he had just heard Luo Xin's hoarse roar outside the door.
