Chapter 327 The belated truth

Suzhou Prefecture.

"Please come in, guest officer!"

On May Day, I randomly found a restaurant and stopped for a light meal.

The brother who came with May Day asked, "Fifth brother, can anyone still enter the Lu family's ancestral home?"

Wuyi shook his head, "I don't know, I'll go check it out later."

The conversation between the two of them was not deliberately lowered, and the waiter who served the dishes listened to every word.

"The guest officer is also going to the Lu family's old house?" the boy asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The boy put down the dishes and explained with a warm smile, "Isn't this the case of the Lu family that was overturned recently? The old master of the Lu family was a learned scholar and had mentored many literati during his lifetime. Therefore, recently there have been

Many people from out of town come to our Suzhou mansion, many of them come to pay homage to Master Lu, and so do you two."

Wu nodded and said, "Yes, our master has received favors from Master Lu, but he is far away in the capital and is busy with business and it is inconvenient to travel. Now that the verdict has been reversed, he sent us to pay his respects."

Pei Mo asked Wu Yi to come to Jiangnan two days ago to pay homage and take a look at the Lu family's ancestral home, which led to this conversation.

Hearing that the guest in front of him was from the capital, the waiter smiled even brighter, "It turns out he is a nobleman from the capital. Let me tell you, the accent of the nobleman doesn't sound like us from the south!"

Wu Yi also raised a smile and took the opportunity to get close to the waiter, "What kind of noble person are you? They all work for others. Could you please tell us brothers what the situation of the Lu family's house is like now?"

"To tell you the truth, since the Lu family was exterminated, the government took over the Lu family's old house. However, until the case was overturned, no one was willing to buy a house where the criminals lived, so the Lu family's old house has been empty until now."

The waiter said, "Now that the verdict has been reversed, maybe this house can be sold."

Wuyi asked, "Can I still go into that house and take a look?"

"Of course you can, but you have to go to the government to report it, which is a bit troublesome, but everyone who went in and looked at it praised the beautiful scenery of Lu House."

In this way, under the waiter's generous explanation, more and more people became curious about this Lu family house.

But the next day, a wealthy businessman with a little money wanted to visit the Lu family. When he found the government office, he was told that the Lu family's old house had been taken over by someone else!

Everyone in Suzhou Prefecture was shocked. Couldn't we have gone in to see it yesterday?

Some literati who were close to Suzhou's prime minister couldn't help complaining, asking how the prime minister could sell Lu's house so casually.

The expression on Fu Cheng's face was tight-lipped, "You can't say it, you can't say it. You just need to know that the person who bought this house is related to the capital."

The more Fu Cheng said this, the more curious people became. After asking all kinds of questions, they could only find out that the buyer's surname was Wu.

"Surnamed Wu?" Some people frowned, "There are so many people named Wu in the capital!"

Fu Cheng was cheated when he was drinking. He was angry at first, but when he heard about it the next day, he realized that those people had misunderstood.

But that's fine, Fu Cheng patted his chest and didn't leak it out.

The General's Mansion in Beijing.

"General, this is the title deed to the Lu family's old residence."

Pei Mo took the paper from May Day's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go down."

Wuyi glanced at the wine bottle on the table and the brazier on the ground, and suddenly understood, he left silently, leaving the space for the general who was reminiscing about the past.

Under the magnolia tree in the backyard, Pei Mo used incense to light a few pieces of paper money, put them in the brazier, and watched them burn away.

The firelight made Pei Mo's face dark and unclear, making it impossible to tell whether he was feeling sad or happy at the moment.

After burning the paper money, Pei Mo poured the wine on the ground three times in total.

He didn't say anything, but it seemed that he had ended his wandering journey.

After doing this, Pei Mo ordered Liu Shen to carve the Lu family's memorial tablets and place them in a temple outside the capital for worship.

After Liu Shen left, Pei Mo fell into silence again, his whole person disappeared in the haze of the night, as if he was standing on the far edge of the horizon.

Murong Qing stared at him from behind the Moon Gate, undecided for a moment whether to go forward and ask him.

"well--"

She sighed softly and decided to leave Pei Mo alone for a while, then turned to leave.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Pei Mo stopped her with words.

Murong Qing turned around quickly, wanting to comfort him, but he hesitated when he spoke, "Uh, General, um, are you okay?"

After saying this, she regretted that her footsteps were too heavy and had disturbed the general.

Pei Mo saw her confusion and suddenly smiled easily, as if he was relieved. He stretched out his hand and said, "Madam, please sit with me for a while."

"good."

Murong Qing lifted up her skirt and walked towards him, placing her hand in Pei Mo's generous palm.

Holding the soft little hand in his hand, Pei Mo felt as if his heart was filled, and all those heavy emotions were melted away by this softness.

Warmth is actually a very complex emotion. For people, sometimes a vigorous love cannot melt an iceberg, and sometimes, even a look can make people's hearts boil.

Just like now, Murong Qing and Pei Mo looked at each other and chuckled in unison.

Murong Qing gently patted the back of Pei Mo's hand, said nothing, and rested her head on his shoulder. She thought that snuggling into his arms at this time might make him feel a little warm.

Pei Mo also hugged Murong Qing's thin shoulders tightly in silence.

Under the dim light, their two figures overlapped, and it was hard to tell who was relying on whom. When you look closely, it seemed that they were each other's support.

What is the end of time? Sometimes Murong Qing would think when looking at the stars.

Like now, Murong Qing thought again, maybe there will be peace at the end of time.

As time goes by, those scars eventually return to calmness, until one day, those memories that I thought were so thrilling in the past become lighter and lighter when spoken again.

It is only the human heart that is not peaceful.

Murong Qing whispered, "The truth has come out, General, although it is a little late."

"Yeah." Pei Mo nodded, "But it doesn't matter."

In fact, it does matter. The belated truth is irreversible and out of reach.

But with Murong Qing by his side, Pei Mo felt that it didn't matter. The journey turned out to be more difficult than imagined.

He is already very content and no longer desires anything else, just as this moment of tranquility is precious.

The tide ebbs and flows, and a dream comes to life.

The sea of ​​people is lonely and people die young.

No matter how the world changes, at least at this moment, Pei Mo feels that he can be with Murong Qing forever.

The moonlight in the imperial city was dim, far less gloomy than the night when the fire broke out in the 63rd year of Dashun. On that night, even the moon couldn't bear to see this human tragedy, so it hid behind the clouds.

But the sun will rise again the next day, and its dazzling light will shine in the dark, muddy corners.

Because of the sunrise, those who lick their wounds have the courage to live.
