……

In the hall outside the screen, the two sat opposite each other at a small table.

Lu Jingyao looked at Wei Changtian, who was drinking tea in a calm mood. She didn't know what to say for a while. It took a long time before she snorted and asked:

"You unlock my acupuncture points, aren't you afraid that I will seek death?"

"Seeking death?"

Wei Changtian said with a smile: "If you really want to die, you had a chance before, so why wait until today."

"you!"

Lu Jingyao's body trembled, and suddenly she took out a hosta from her sleeve, the tip of which was directly on her neck.

"It's not that I dare not! Before..."

"Ha ha."

Disdainful laughter interrupted her argument, Wei Changtian didn't even raise his head, just reached out and tapped the empty teacup in front of him, spit out two words coldly.

"Pour tea."

"..."

The air in the room froze instantly, Lu Jingyao's eyes widened, and her face slowly turned pale.

Wei Changtian was not in a hurry, just lowered his head and waited.

He only nodded lightly when the hosta fell to the ground and broke into two pieces, and the light brown tea was poured into the tea cup tremblingly.

"Thank you."

"Boom!"

The small purple sand teapot suddenly fell on the table, and Lu Jingyao's disbelief expression was even worse than before.

Obviously, in her cognition, the man in front of her shouldn't have said these two words anyway.

"You, how are you..."

"Why is it different from before? Is it?"

Wei Changtian straightened the teapot and said calmly, "What you see may only be what others want you to see."

"..."

Lu Jingyao was stunned for a moment.

There is no doubt that this sentence brought a great shock to her heart.

Countless questions came to mind, but Wei Changtian didn't give her a chance to ask again, but brought the topic back to the right track.

"Let's not talk about me, let's talk about our marriage."

"I know that you are not only unwilling to marry me, but you are even very disgusted with me."

"So I came to you today, in fact, I wanted to give you one more choice."

"choose……"

Lu Jingyao looked at her suddenly, frowning slightly.

She never thought that Wei Changtian would give her a chance to choose.

"Well, you have a choice."

Wei Changtian seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, looked up at Lu Jingyao's slightly flickering eyes, and continued:

"Tomorrow morning, I can go to my father to cancel the marriage, and I will try my best to persuade him not to touch the Lu family."

"But in the end how he'll do, I can't promise you anything."

"If you want to keep the Lu family safe, don't make unnecessary struggles, and cooperate to complete the wedding tomorrow."

"As for what you want to do in the future, I won't force you, as long as you stay in the Wei family within half a year."

"We can have no husband and wife during this time, but we must have the name of husband and wife."

"If you still insist on leaving after half a year, then I will never force you to stay."

"This is also a face-to-face explanation for us to give to both families."

"That's all I've said, whether or not to get married, you should think about it."

After Wei Changtian finished speaking, he lowered his head and started drinking tea again.

But Lu Jingyao fell into silence for a long time, and her face kept showing the color of struggle.

After a long time, she raised her head a little nervously and asked in a low voice, "What about Xiao Feng? What should I do to let him go?"

Xiao Feng?

Good guy!

At this time, I still think about the protagonist!

Are you really desperate?

Wei Changtian understood that the reason why Lu Jingyao asked such a question must be that Xiao Feng was no match for him, so he wanted to save the life of his "sweet man" in this way.

Hehe, dreaming.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Wei Changtian answered without hesitation, "He must die."

"What, what..."

Lu Jingyao finally regained some blood, and her face was pale again.

She leaned forward eagerly, holding a piece of embroidered silk tightly in her hand, and there was no arrogance in her stammering tone.

"Please, please let Xiao Feng go..."

"I can marry you! I will try my best to be your wife! I will never disobey you in the future..."

"I-I and Xiao Feng have never had any skin-to-skin relationship..."

"I said he must die."

Wei Changtian interrupted Lu Jingyao's plea with a deep voice.

Hearing his fiancée intercede for another man like this, there was no anger in his voice, just a calm statement: "You don't have a third choice."

"..."

Lu Jingyao closed her mouth in an instant, and a pea-sized teardrop fell on the line of small characters embroidered on the handkerchief.

Wei Changtian glanced at random, and his eyes stayed for a moment.

If you fail me, I will fail you.

"This sentence……"

He looked back and asked knowingly, "Did Xiao Feng say that?"

"..."

Lu Jingyao clenched her handkerchief tightly, gritted her teeth and lowered her head silently.

Wei Changtian suddenly felt that the girl was a little miserable.

In the novel, although Xiao Feng accepted her later, he actually didn't care much about her at first.

Even tomorrow's marriage grab was actually just an accident and was not originally in Xiao Feng's plan.

So in the end, she is actually just like herself, just a tool person who can act better for the protagonist.

"Ugh……"

Sighing lightly, Wei Changtian said nothing, stood up and turned to walk outside the house.

Possibly inspired, he blurted out a poem that anyone who had received nine years of compulsory education in a previous life could recite as he walked.

"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch."

Wei Changtian's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible.

And when this poem entered Lu Jingyao's ears, the tear line like a bead curtain suddenly broke.

She raised her head abruptly and stared at Wei Changtian's back, her expression a little dazed, a little stunned, and a little sluggish.

There is also a kind of excitement and sadness that are clearly contradictory, but also exist at the same time.

"I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon illuminates the ditch..."

Involuntarily, he murmured several times in his mouth, but when he looked again, the figure of the person who said those words had already disappeared.

Who is Mingyue?Who is the ditches?

The real moon outside the window hangs high in the night sky.

Lu Jingyao suddenly and inexplicably, for the first time, had a trace of emotion other than disgust and fear towards Wei Changtian.

This is an instinctive human curiosity about the mysterious.

...why is it so different from the rumors?

...who is the real him?

Chapter 5 The Self-correction of Destiny

Early the next morning.

Houqiu Village, which is about ten miles away from the capital, is surrounded by mountains and rivers. In front of the village is a small river that is neither wide nor narrow. The mud of the river is sticky and white.

And it is precisely because of this jade mud that there were two official kilns in Houqiu Village, specializing in firing all kinds of porcelain for the palace.

But the good times didn't last long.

More than ten years ago, the supervisor who was in charge of managing these two official kilns somehow offended a certain big shot. Not to mention his decapitation, the official kiln in Houqiu Village was also closed by a notice issued by the chief secretary, and the whole village Porcelain kilns are not allowed to be built within the territory for 50 years.

Since that time, the entire Houqiu Village has declined rapidly, and the registered population has been decreasing year by year. The only remaining old, weak, sick and disabled can't even grow land, and can only barely make a living by reselling some jade mud.

It's been a very difficult day, but there has been a riot recently.

A wild boar demon with a fat head and big ears is not that powerful, but it is not something that ordinary people can deal with. In half a month, it has eaten a dozen people in the village.

The yamen can't handle this kind of thing, so they can only report the situation layer by layer, and hand it over to the Liu Ye Department of the Xuanjing Division, which is responsible for monsters and strange things.

Unexpectedly, just when the two "Bronze Leaf" adults at Liu Ye hurriedly arrived today, the pig demon was already one step ahead of the others.

……

"Xiao Shaoxia! You are really the savior of our village!"

The river is shallow but fast, and the water hits the corpse of the pig demon the size of a baby elephant, and the splashes are crystal clear.

Two men with lancets on their waists were standing in the river to check the situation of the demon corpse, while a group of villagers in ragged clothes surrounded the bank. What is the young man talking about.

If you can go all the way, you can be righteous and brave, this person can only be Xiao Feng.

"Old man, I just do what I want, don't worry about it."

Xiao Feng's expression was gentle, and he bowed his fist politely: "Since the official family has come, then I will take a step first..."

"Wait a minute!"

The white-haired old man grabbed Xiao Feng's sleeve, turned his head and hurriedly said to a pretty young girl next to him: "Granddaughter, go and bring the jade plaque from our ancestors!"

"Got it, grandpa."

After the little girl responded, she turned around and ran away with small steps, her face seemed to be a little flushed.

Xiao Feng was a little puzzled: "Old man, you are..."

The old man replied with a serious expression: "Young man, since you killed the pig demon, you are the benefactor of our Houqiu Village!"

"Our village is poor and can't get gold and silver jewelry, but there is a jade tablet handed down from our ancestors, which is said to have great magic."

"I am willing to give this jade card to the young hero in return for saving my life!"

"This……"

Xiao Feng pondered for a while, but did not refuse: "Okay! Since that is the case, then I will be disrespectful."

"Young master, don't say that..."
