The news of the snowstorm in the north topped the list of hot news at the moment, overshadowing the previous bloody stories among the wealthy families.

This snowstorm crushed countless houses, and many people lost their lives in their sleep without knowing it. The people of Fengdu were filled with grief when they heard about it.

Ordinary people secretly prayed that the blizzard would stop, otherwise the disaster would spread and the food prices in Fengdu would see a sharp increase.

Officials secretly planned matters related to disaster relief, because disaster relief has always been an opportunity for those with good fortune to rise or for political opponents to suffer heavy defeat.

Who to provide relief, how to provide relief, who to cooperate, how to cooperate, success or failure, these are all games that involve many people, both openly and covertly.

The lights in the study in the main courtyard were on, and Lu Jianzhang was discussing disaster relief with others.

Originally, His Majesty was inclined to let the Sixth Prince go to provide disaster relief, but Jiang Shuo suddenly attacked and beat someone, which happened to ruin the Sixth Prince's opportunity to provide disaster relief and gain fame.

Once this opportunity is lost, it will be difficult to regain momentum later!

"It's fate and time. The Sixth Prince is not the best candidate to succeed the throne. If my two daughters were not devoted to him, I would not pay attention to him at all.

Fortunately, the fight for the throne is a huge gamble that involves all nine clans, and I haven’t started betting yet because I’m being cautious.”

Lu Jianzhang let out a breath and gave a relaxed smile to his two brothers-in-law.

My wife's family is one of the three clans. How could he not inform his elder and second uncles when doing something that could cost him his life?

As for my brother-in-law, wait until my two uncles have a private talk with him. That guy is talkative and annoying.

“Everything remains the same, and there is no need to provide any convenience to the Sixth Prince’s people.

However, the disaster this time is quite serious, so please control your subordinates and do not take the opportunity to drive up the price of grain."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry! My Qin family is a hundred-year-old family of benevolence and justice. We earn money in a proper way. How could we do such an immoral thing?"

There was a knock on the door and the three stopped talking.

Lu Jie brought in Fuling, who looked anxious. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt heavily on the ground.

"Master, my young lady is missing!"

"what?!"

Lu Jianzhang's expression changed drastically. He ordered Lu Jie to seal off the Duke's Mansion and sent people to search the mansion carefully.

Not long after, someone came to report that the second young lady had been found.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianzhang and the Qin family hurried to Chenxiang Courtyard.

As soon as I entered, I saw Lu Ningshuang on the top floor of the embroidery building.

The girl was sitting by the window in her thin nightgown, swinging her feet gently.

The night wind blew her skirt, and her fair and slender calves reflected the bright light of the snow and moon.

She was like a pure white butterfly, about to flap its wings and fly into the boundless space.

"Shuang'er!!!"

"Xiao Shuang!!!"

"Little Shuangshuang!!!"

The three of them screamed loudly and their hearts almost stopped.

Lu Jianzhang asked the servants in the courtyard, "What is the situation now?"

Bai Zhi's eyes were red and swollen, and she replied in a sobbing voice:

“I woke up in the middle of the night to add charcoal to the fire and unexpectedly found that the young lady was missing.

Imperial Physician Jing analyzed that the young lady was most likely depressed, so he asked Fuling to come and report to you, master, while he asked me to search for her quietly together.

Sure enough, the young lady was found by the window of the embroidery building.

Doctor Jing has gone up now. He told me that my young lady cannot stand any provocation in this situation, and asked you to be gentler next time you come, and never use force!"

"I'm afraid it will break if I hold it in my hands, and I'm afraid it will melt if I hold it in my mouth. When have you ever said anything harsh to your young lady? I really am..."

Lu Jianzhang was anxious and angry. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. He wanted to ask someone to go up and carry her down several times, but he was worried that it was really as Jing Shiyue said.

"What should we do? She has been in the high place for so long, and she is only wearing a single layer of clothing. I am afraid she will be frozen to death!"

Lu Jianzhang turned to look at Qin Zhenghong, "Second uncle, what do you think of me going to give Shuang'er some clothes? And then wrap her up in the clothes and catch her?

It's so cold, what's there to worry about? Wouldn't it be nice to smash some gold, silver and jade items while sitting in a warm room?

If she really has no other choice, she can beat someone up to vent her anger. Didn't she lock up Lu Yan? Why does she have to be so hard on her own body?"

Lu Jianzhang had only one thought: if his precious daughter was unhappy, it would be okay to kill two people, but she must not joke with her own body.

Qin Zhixing also thought so.

But Qin Zhenghong felt that it was inappropriate. Rather than forcibly rescuing the person and provoking him to rebel, it was more important to untie the knot in his heart.

"Why don't we let Yun'er come? It's easier for mother and daughter to talk to each other. We men don't really understand our daughter's thoughts. Don't let it backfire."

Lu Jianzhang thought of his haggard wife, and then looked at his little daughter who might jump down at any time, gritted his teeth and ordered:

"Go get the lady!"

Hearing the noise below, Lu Ningshuang turned her head. Jing Shiyue saw that his heartstrings were tense and his hoarse voice trembled.

"Ms. Lu! Miss Lu!"

He stretched out his hand, looked into the distance, and coaxed her softly as if she were a child:

"Come down, please? Be good and listen."

Jing Shiyue's perseverance made Lu Ningshuang laugh out loud. She twirled her hair with her fingertips and leaned against the window, whispering:

"Doctor Jing, you wouldn't fall in love with me just because of our two nights together, right?"

"Yes, come down please?"

"Then your love is too superficial!"

"I……"

Jing Shiyue clenched his hands, looked at her inexplicably, and explained helplessly, "No..."

Lu Ningshuang interrupted him without giving him face, "If you can't explain, don't explain. I've heard enough from you. I just want to be quiet for a while!"

"Second miss..."

“You’re annoying!!!”

Lu Ningshuang stood up from the windowsill with a cold face, causing bursts of exclamations from below.

Jing Shiyue's face turned pale. He lowered his eyes, hiding the pain in them, and replied bitterly:

"it is good."

He untied his outer robe, bent down and placed it at the end of the moonlight, then disappeared into the darkness.

"If you're cold, put on some clothes. I'll stay with you and won't go anywhere."

Lights were on all over the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.

Lu Ningshuang sat on a high place, watching wave after wave of people gathering here.

"Shuang'er, come down! If anything happens to you, how will I live?"

It was the sound of Mrs. Lu crying bitterly.

You ask me how I live?

I don’t even know how to live!

"You sickly boy, man can conquer nature! Haven't you always liked to compete with me? Why are you suddenly admitting defeat now?"

Hanqiu helped the seriously injured Lu Yingxue over.

Human hearts are really interesting. The person who clearly hated her so much that he wanted to cut her into pieces, yet ran out to persuade her with reluctance in his eyes.

It’s a pity that people who are not ruthless will encounter more hardships if they want to achieve great things.

"Sister Shuang, do you want to see the scenery outside the Great Wall?

The desert smoke, the long river sunset, the white grass and yellow sand, the clear stream watering the horses. One day, I will definitely take you there! "

Jiang Shuo, who had been beaten with twenty sticks, also came. Jiang Wen supported him, and he looked at him with sparkling eyes, like a big dog wagging its tail.

Just take her there?

With her dilapidated body, she would die before she even left the capital, right?

Lu Ningshuang looked up at the sky, the snow, and the moon, but not at them.

"Want to see how you solve it?"

She whispered softly, opening her arms.
