Quick Wear: The Law of Salvation of Cannon Fodder

Chapter 200: The only one who loves the pretty husband 22

After Xie Qi and the other two had finished their meal, they said goodbye to the emperor. The emperor specially arranged for a eunuch to lead them and they slowly walked towards the general's mansion.

At this moment, Lu Jing sat by the window of the restaurant, watching the two figures walking away downstairs. After a moment, he couldn't contain his curiosity. He turned to look at Lu Feiling beside him and said softly, "Second brother, have you noticed the appearance of that boy? I always feel that he bears a certain resemblance to our mother."

Lu Feiling didn't show much surprise when he heard this. He simply responded calmly, "There are many people in this world, and many of them look alike. This situation isn't surprising."

Lu Jing nodded slightly in agreement, then changed the subject and asked, "Second brother, regarding my ninth brother's birthday banquet, are you seriously planning to hold a grand ceremony and invite the sons of officials from the court to attend?"

When Lu Feiling heard him mention Lu Yinjiu, she couldn't help but frown. She raised her hand and gently massaged her brows. She smiled bitterly and replied, "This is what my mother wanted. Besides, in my opinion, Xiaojiu seems to be using her birthday as an opportunity to choose her ideal husband."

"What I'm worried about now is that the person Xiaojiu likes doesn't like him. In this case, whether I should grant the marriage becomes a difficult question..."

Lu Jing looked at Lu Feiling's worried and troubled face, and couldn't help but sigh softly. He slowly said, "Second brother, this is really hard for you!"

In fact, Lu Jing knew Lu Yinjiu's personality and temper very well. Although they were brothers from the same mother, Lu Yinjiu had no close relationship with them.

No matter how hard Lu Jing and Lu Feiling tried to be nice to him, Lu Yinjiu always took this friendship for granted. Not only that, he became more and more presumptuous and acted more and more recklessly.

Sometimes, Lu Yinjiu would even ignore his fifth brother, Lu Jing. Only when he made a mistake would he remember that he still had two brothers to rely on for help.

Because of this, Lu Jing really doesn't like his younger brother from the bottom of his heart.

Since childhood, Lu Jing has found Lu Yinjiu very annoying. If it weren't for the blood relationship, he probably wouldn't even bother to pay attention to her.

At this moment, recalling Lu Yinjiu's past actions, Lu Jing's heart was filled with suspicion. Finally, he couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "Second brother, tell me, the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky when Xiaojiu was born really means that a lucky star has descended upon the earth. In my opinion, this Xiaojiu...could it be that he is a star of disaster?"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Lu Feiling suddenly cast a sharp look at him, which instantly made him silent.

Lu Feiling's face was solemn, and he warned in a serious tone, "Never say a word like that again!"

"Oh, I see." Lu Jingzhi nodded and agreed obediently.

At this moment, the news that Xie Qi had arrived in the capital spread like wildfire.

After learning about this, those high-ranking officials and wealthy people could not wait to take action.

They prepared generous gifts, intending to visit the general's residence and pay a visit to this famous hero, hoping to establish a good relationship with him.

Xie Qi remained calm in the face of these visitors. He didn't turn anyone away, but it was impossible to win him over by taking advantage of this opportunity. However, Xie Qi accepted all the gifts presented without hesitation.

Xie Qi knew clearly that in just one month, the current emperor would hold a grand birthday party specifically for Lu Yinjiu.

At that time, all the important figures in the capital will be invited to attend this banquet.

For Xie Qi, that moment was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to expose Concubine Rong's conspiracy.

However, he also understood that eighteen years had passed since that incident. With the passage of time, most of those who knew the truth, aside from Concubine Rong herself, were probably long dead.

He had no evidence, so naturally no one would easily choose to believe him. After all, this was ancient times, and there was no paternity test.

Back then, when Lu Xingze had just come into the world, a strange and magnificent auspicious scene descended from the sky, making people believe that the Ninth Prince was a lucky star.

In this case, Xie Qi felt that if such an amazing thing as the so-called "immortal" really appeared, everyone should be able to accept it, right?

Because of this, when the birthday party was approaching, Xie Qi knew that he had to find ways to elevate their status to a higher level.

So, from some unknown time on, anyone who went to visit Xie Qi's residence would encounter all kinds of unexpected happy events.

The most eye-catching case was the eldest son of the Prime Minister's family, who had been disabled for five years. Due to a serious leg injury, he had sought medical treatment everywhere for many years but to no avail.

However, not long after his father pushed the disabled eldest son to visit Xie Qi, his legs gradually regained sensation and he was finally able to stand and walk again! This astonishing act instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, causing an uproar.

For a moment, those dignitaries who had not cared much about Xie Qi before could no longer sit still. They were eager to visit Xie Qi in person, hoping that they could also share in this good luck.

Gradually, Xie Qi's reputation spread throughout the capital, becoming a household name. People held him in such high esteem that rumors began to spread that Xie Qi and his wife were like gods who had descended from the heavens.

At this moment, two days before the birthday banquet, Xie Qi also received an invitation from the emperor.

Xie Qi sat leisurely on the exquisite lounge chair beside the fish pond, holding Lu Xingze in his broad and warm arms.

At this time, the breeze was blowing gently, and the fish in the pond were swimming happily, splashing circles of tiny ripples.

Xie Qi lowered his head and looked tenderly at the person in his arms, and asked softly, "Aze, if you want to recognize them, then recognize them. If you don't want to, let's go home."

However, Lu Xing, resting his head on Xie Qi's arm, seemed nonchalant. He responded calmly, "Whether you recognize me or not, it doesn't matter to me. As long as I can always be with you like this, it's enough."

Hearing this, Xie Qi couldn't help but chuckle, and then said with a hint of sarcasm: "Aze, aren't you curious about how I know your background?"

Lu Xingze raised his head upon hearing this, his clear eyes looking straight at Xie Qi, and he slowly said, "Didn't you say before that you were a god who had descended to earth? Since you are a god, you naturally know everything."

"Ha, you really believe what I said."

Lu Xingze nodded seriously and replied, "Yeah."

Xie Qi stared into Lu Xingze's eyes, which were sincere and full of trust, and an uncontrollable excitement suddenly surged in his heart.

Lu Xing looked at Xie Qi's fiery eyes and asked without warning, "Are you planning to consummate your marriage with me, my husband?"

His tone was extremely calm, but the words he spoke were so straightforward and bold.

When Xie Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then buried his face deep in Lu Xingze's collar, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he let out a muffled laugh.

Lu Xingze, who was pinned down by Xie Qi, could clearly feel Xie Qi's body trembling from laughing. This made him very confused, so he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Hearing Lu Xingze's question, Xie Qi tried hard to stop laughing, but his shoulders still shook from time to time.

He slowly raised his head, his bright eyes flashing with a hint of teasing at the moment. He stared directly at Lu Xingze beneath him and asked with a half-smile, "Ze, tell me the truth, how long have you been thinking about consummating our marriage?"

However, Lu Xingze suddenly stopped talking and just turned his head to the side silently, avoiding Xie Qi's fiery gaze.

Seeing Lu Xingze's sudden shyness, Xie Qi couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He sat up without hesitation and hugged Lu Xingze tightly in his arms. Then, he strode towards the house.
