Chapter 220 Countdown to Homecoming
Lu Xin felt guilty when he looked at the three people he had implicated.
He was afraid that some unknown drug would fly into his mouth, so he covered his mouth and said, "Why don't you just give up on me? Life is just like this. Living a few lives is enough."
"Okay." Shen Shuangyue nodded.
No one expected Shuangyue to agree so readily, and everyone looked at Shuangyue with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Shen Shuangyue curled her lips, "I know you feel that you have implicated us, so I will satisfy you."
She paused, then added under everyone's gaze, "But this kind of rare event only happens once in a century. Let's follow you and broaden our horizons. Brother Lu won't object, will he?"
Lu Xin suddenly felt a pang of bitterness in his eyes, and his heart was filled with warmth.
Who doesn't want to live a good life? But he didn't want to drag down Shuangyue even more.
As for Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming, they were not even within his consideration.
But he didn't expect that Mo Linming would persuade him, even though his tone was a bit sarcastic:
"Brother Lu, if I were you, I would agree to my sister's request. After all, I am willing to agree to anything my sister wants to do."
Lu Xin couldn't help but feel complicated ripples in his heart.
Then Mo Linfeng's deep voice reached his ears: "If you dare to refuse Shuangyue, I will find a eunuch and let him kiss your whole body after you die."
Lu Xin: “…”
He said hesitantly: "I dare not, I dare not."
He immediately stood in front of the three people and bowed deeply, "Thank you, big sister, Mo Xiaoliu and Mo Xiaoba."
Shen Shuangyue, Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming tacitly took a half step sideways to avoid the etiquette.
Shen Shuangyue smiled and said, "Brother Lu, you are being too formal."
Mo Linfeng: "We should change people. Let's save Lu Xiaoshi's etiquette for Xiao Jinyu and Murong Ying."
As he finished speaking, Murong Ying, who was wearing women's clothes, twisted her waist and walked in front of Shuangyue.
He naturally put his arm around Shen Shuangyue's and said in a charming voice, "Sister, do you miss me?"
Shen Shuangyue rubbed his head and said, "I thought about it."
Murong Ying didn't expect Shuangyue to be so straightforward. Her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat and her cheeks flushed.
Mo Linming looked at Murong Ying with some jealousy, and couldn't help but said, "Sister, you never said you missed me."
Shen Shuangyue also rubbed Mo Linming's head and said, "Be good, I will miss you too."
Mo Linming's eyes turned slightly red. He knew he shouldn't cry, but these words that sounded like parting words made him unable to control himself.
But before the tears could fall, Lu Xin pushed him away, bent down and said, "Big sister, you can touch my hair too. I take good care of it, and it feels no worse than theirs."
Shen Shuangyue put her hand on Lu Xin's head, but just as it touched the hair, Lu Xin's feet slipped again and he pounced towards her.
She subconsciously opened her arms to support Lu Xin.
Lu Xin also stretched out his arms, wanting to hug Shuangyue.
The abstinent Fifth Prince holding an oil-paper umbrella appeared at some point, grabbed Lu Xin's clothes from behind, and helped him up.
A hint of sadness flashed in Lu Xin's eyes, but he scratched his head embarrassedly, "Did the elder sister scare you? Sorry!"
"It's okay." Shen Shuangyue has become accustomed to sudden changes.
The abstinent Fifth Prince held the oil-paper umbrella over Shuangyue's head and suggested, "Why don't we find a flat place where it's less prone to accidents?"
Shen Shuangyue nodded, said goodbye to Mo Linfeng and Mo Linming, and came to a training ground.
Before he could sit down, the ground began to shake, with the epicenter at Lu Xin's feet.
Shen Shuangyue could only lead Lu Xin to escape again.
The shaking stopped only when everyone ran to where there were people.
Lu Xin sighed, covering his mouth and said, "Then let's just wander around. Getting splashed with water, hit with stones, or fed with medicine is better than the ground cracking."
Before Shen Shuangyue and others could respond, a carriage suddenly lost control and rushed directly towards Lu Xin.
Shen Shuangyue skillfully climbed onto the horse and calmed it down with a few movements.
The carriage stopped and a bony hand lifted the curtain slightly, but before revealing its true face, it closed the curtain again.
"Thank you so much for your help. I'm so sorry for scaring you, Xiaofu. Please help me make amends."
A stumbling and timid voice came from the carriage. If Shen Shuangyue didn't listen carefully, she wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
She waved her hand. "No need to thank me or apologize. Just be safe on the road."
She couldn't tell whether it was Lu Xin's fault or the carriage really lost control. She could only say that there were no casualties.
She didn't take the carriage incident to heart, but she didn't know that after the carriage left, the curtain was lifted a little.
The people in the carriage stared at her for a long time, until they were glared at by Xiao Jinyu, then they hurriedly closed the curtains and started moving again.
Shen Shuangyue was unaware of this scene, as she was worried about Lu Xin's fate.
The system said that since the original plot did not include any content about Lu Zhan, Lu Xin could be considered an extra character.
This also means that Lu Xin and Lu Zhan should have similar death times.
If he wanted to change Lu Xin's fate, he had to survive this day.
Based on the accidents in the previous few hours, she thought that no innocent people would be harmed. However, if it were not for her excellent horse training skills, it would be difficult for the people in the carriage to avoid being injured.
Just as they were thinking about it, the man who was performing the chest-breaking stone exercise twenty meters away suddenly lost his grip. The hammer head on the hammer broke away from the handle, flew a distance in the air, and flew towards them.
Shen Shuangyue quickly pushed Lu Xin away to avoid the hammer, her heart sinking to the bottom.
What if this was a huge plaque and she couldn't push Lu Xin away?
Lu Xin's cheerful voice broke the depression in her heart, "Big sister, you are really quick to react! I owe you countless favors today. In the next life, I will treat you like a real brother and protect you."
He paused, "It's okay to be your brother. I can protect you just the same."
Shen Shuangyue curved her eyebrows and said, "Okay, call me sister first."
But she didn't expect that the voice she heard was Xiao Jinshen's:
"Sister, I called him for him. It won't be too late for him to call you after he becomes your biological brother."
Shen Shuangyue bumped Xiao Jinyu with her body and said, "You scream very nicely, scream again."
Little Jinyu leaned close to her ear expressionlessly and whispered, "After we get married, I'll scream for you as much as I want."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject: "The street is quite damaged, and with the four of us here, people are bound to be in a state of panic. I want to go and see Fourth Brother. Are you guys going?"
"Okay!" Shen Shuangyue's eyes lit up. It would be great if the Fourth Prince's mansion could be demolished!
Lu Xin patted his chest and said with a smile: "Am I of some use?"
The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
The Fourth Prince had just finished instructing his subordinates to spread the news that the son of the Lu family had blocked the sword for Su Hanwan when he heard his fifth brother and County Lord Shen asking for a meeting.
The abstinent fifth prince's mother's family was prominent, and Shen Shuangyue was so magical that he had to ask the butler to invite her to the main hall.
Then, before he even entered the main hall, it collapsed.
Shen Shuangyue and the other three ran out covered in dust and dirt.
The fourth prince suppressed his temper and apologized, and suggested that someone prepare water for the four people to bathe.
Shen Shuangyue took Lu Xin's situation into consideration and said, "Then please, Fourth Prince, put the four barrels in one room."
The Fourth Prince gasped, "You all are together?"
