1978 You still have me

Lu Zheng looked at the country guarding Duke coldly.

The country guarding Duke was like a child showing his most precious thing to others. He took out all the paintings from the vase, put them on the table, and unfolded them one by one.

this is Jia er riding a horse, this is Jia er picking herbs, this is Jia er drawing brows, this is Jia er reading books, and this is a crickets. the country guarding Duke introduced them to Lu Zheng one by one, and the more he talked, the happier he was. I still have many, many more. Let me tell you, I have a secret room. The entire secret room is your mothers painting. Ive painted it all these years. Even your sister doesnt know.

Lu Zheng took a look at the portrait. It was indeed his mothers portrait. He had not seen it in the Lu family, but he had seen it in the Zhou family.

He interrupted the country guarding Dukes rambling,Do you regret it? Do you regret getting involved with the Lin family? Whats the use of taking out these paintings now? My mother is dead, shes dead! No matter how much you draw, she wont be able to come back!

The country guarding Dukes happy expression disappeared all of a sudden. He took two steps back, looked at the paintings that he regarded as treasures, and muttered, Im still here. Ive always been here.

Lu Zheng felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. He did not want to see the country guarding Duke, so he ran out.

The country guarding Duke didnt call out to him again. Instead, he carefully put away his painting scroll. Blood was flowing from his forehead, but he didnt let the blood drip on the painting scroll.

After a while, the Butler came with a doctor and bandaged the country guarding Dukes wound.

Wheres the Prince? The country guarding Duke asked.

master, I just met the Crown Prince in the courtyard. He said that he went to the Gu residence to send you back to accompany the guests at the Gu residence. The Butler replied.

Yes. The country guarding Duke responded and didnt say anything else.

Lu Zheng walked from the Duke Zhengguos mansion to the Gu residence. In fact, he had never wanted to come to the Gu residence again. His current mood was not suitable for him to appear in front of the Gu family, but he could not help but come here.

In the end, he didnt go in. Instead, he climbed up a tree in the Gu familys North Garden.

He looked at the lights in the nursery and could hear Gu Xin talking and laughing.

When he heard Gu Xin laugh, he laughed too.

Second white and the rest were the Gu familys Secret guards. They had already noticed Lu Zheng, but they did not appear.

The cold wind was blowing. In the end, second white still came to Lu Zhengs side.General, its cold outside. Arent you going in?

Get some fresh air to wake up, Lu Zheng shook his head.

Oh, second white replied.

Then, he left.

After another half an hour, the Crown Prince and the Gu familys children were all asleep. Gu Xin and the rest were all quiet as they planned to return to the dining room.

Whats wrong, brother-in-law? Gu Xin stopped and walked over.

Lu er is on the tree outside. I think hes on bad terms with his father. I saw that hes been here for almost an hour, why dont you go and take a look? Xue qianxun said.

Ah? Youve been here for so long? Then Ill go take a look. Gu Xin gathered her cloak and pulled Gu ens cloak away before she walked to the courtyard wall.

The first time Gu Xin climbed over her own courtyard wall was for Lu Zheng. She climbed up the wall, then jumped up to the tree and threw her cloak to Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng, are you planning to freeze yourself to death to give me the reputation of jinxing your husband?

Lu Zheng hugged Gu Xin tightly and buried his head in her shoulder, Xinxin, let me hug you for a while. Just a while.

Gu Xin was stunned for a moment before she reached out and hugged Lu Zheng, patting his back gently, Dont be sad, I was just talking nonsense. Brother Yuanyuan, no matter what happens, you still have me.
