Volume 1 Chapter 42 of Han Yang: Not Seen

  Time flies quickly, and before you know it, it's already late afternoon.

  That day, Lu Ying didn't write many words and was too lazy to go out and sell them. She propped up her chin under the fig tree and began to think quietly.

  It wasn't long before she heard her brother's calling voice. Lu Yue hastily opened the door and followed behind Lu Yun, who was jumping around with a big sweat on his head. Lu Yue asked: "Ayun, are you very happy today?"

  Lu Yun nodded in agreement.

  "Why be happy?"

  Lu Yun looked back at his sister with a strange expression and said, "I'm just happy, that's all."

  It seems that everything is as usual, and no one has made a move on him. It's also true that she is just a small, pretty, and fallen noblewoman. The nobleman who has seen all the beauty in the world would only say such things out of temporary excitement. As long as the Ping Manor gives up, others are not worth worrying about.

  The young man played at home like a flea for a while before running out. When he entered the door again in the evening, his expression was serious.

  Walking behind Lu Xuan who was busy cooking, Lu Yun asked in a loud and clear voice: "Sister, yesterday you blocked Third Aunt at the door?"

  Lu Xuan turned his head and glanced at him, then turned back, "En."

  "I heard that Third Aunt is very angry and said she wants to ruin my future... Sister, don't mind her and don't be afraid."

  Lu Xuan smelled the rice and put down the firewood, walking to the stove to scoop up the rice. "I'm not afraid," she said with a smile. "The people of Pingfu are now afraid to offend me. And after a while, if things don't go well, we can move to Chengdu to live. As for being a filial and incorruptible official, as long as it's not something that happened in the past two years, I'll have a way to make everyone speak well of you."

  Lowering her eyelids, Lu Xuan said faintly: "So-called filial piety and integrity are just high-sounding words to deceive foolish people... In this world, everything can be achieved through clever means."

  Huh?

  Lu Yun's eyes widened in shock as he stared at his own sister, dumbfounded. Having studied the classics since childhood, this was the first time he had ever heard such blasphemous words!

  Lu Xuan turned her head back and glanced at the silly-looking young man, hooked a smile on her lips, and said in a low voice: "Silly Ah Yun, come over and eat quickly."

  "Oh? Okay."

  A dreamless night.

  The next day, Lu Yun went to school as usual, while Lu Yue was buried in his books. Compared to the excitement of the previous day, this day was particularly quiet. Only when Lu Yue came and went would he encounter a few curious glances.

  It's late afternoon now.

  Lu Xiang came to Lu Yun's school as usual, carrying more than twenty bamboo slips. Before long, the young men rushed out in a swarm.

  Seeing the excited young men running out, Lu Xuan hurriedly raised his head and stared at them without blinking.

  Nowadays, Lu Xuan's existence is also a scenery of the school. Not only because of her beauty, but also because of her fame. First, she made a big splash in the Qiu Gong case, and then she broke off the engagement with her husband's family. As a result, this girl has become a frequent topic of conversation. In an era lacking entertainment, Lu Xuan has unknowingly become a celebrity.

  Lü Yuè hastily glanced over the crowd of young men looking at her, straining to find the figure she was most familiar with, until she was surrounded by students asking for her autograph.

  Now Luoyin's words are in short supply. Although there are also some people selling words besides her, the interpretations of those people are not as accurate and detailed as hers.

  In a short while, more than twenty characters were sold out, but at this time, Lu Yun had not come out yet.

  Lu Yue raised her eyebrows and at this time, she saw a fellow student who was studying with Lu Yun. Lu Yue hurriedly walked over and called out: "This gentleman."

  The dark-skinned, small-eyed youth turned his head and met Lu Xiang's beautiful face, and he blushed.

  Lu Xuan took a step forward, "May I ask, sir, have you seen my brother Lu Yun? Why isn't he back from school yet?"

  "Lu Yun? Didn't he leave an hour early? Ah yes, I heard him tell the master that something urgent came up."

  Emergency? Left early?

  Suddenly, Lu Xuan's face turned pale.

  Seeing her expression was off, the young man asked anxiously: "Lu family's little girl, what's wrong?"

  Lu Xuan shook her head and said in a low voice, "Nothing." After thinking for a moment with pursed lips, she raised her head and asked, "Is your husband here?"

  "The teacher just left."

  "What else did Ah Yun say at that time?"

  "There's nothing, Ah Yun just told Mr. that there was an urgent matter."

  "Was there anyone who came looking for him at that time?"

  The young man thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know, probably not."

  Lu Xuan suppressed the surging unease in her heart and asked several fellow students who were classmates with Lu Yun, but they all claimed to know nothing. She suddenly picked up her basket and strode towards the direction of Pingfu.

  But just after taking less than ten steps, Lu Xuan stopped again.

  No, it shouldn't be someone from Pingfu who made the move. They still want to curry favor with that noble person and don't dare do anything that would make them resentful!

  Lu Yu lowered her head and thought repeatedly. At this moment, a familiar voice called out: "A Yu."

  Compared with usual times, this voice was so careful and cautious, it was indeed Zeng Lang's voice.

  Lu Xuan turned back.

  Zeng Lang had already gotten down from the donkey cart, he walked up to Lu Yue with big strides and said in a low and gentle voice: "Ah Yue, you..." He hesitated for half a moment, then looked around Lu Yue's side, "Huh? Where is Ah Yun? Didn't he come back home with you?"

  Lu Xuan raised her eyes and looked at Zeng Lang, saying slowly: "A Yun is gone."

  "What?" Zeng Lang was shocked, and in an instant, he looked at Lu Yue with shining eyes, his voice extremely gentle. "Ah Yue, don't worry, tell me the whole story from beginning to end, I'll send someone to help you find." As he spoke, he reached out his hand to stroke Lu Yue's shoulder.

  At this moment, Zeng Lang's joy in his heart grew stronger and stronger: This is an opportunity, this is the heaven-given chance for me to get close to Ah Yue. If handled properly, Ah Yue will return to my side again.

  Just as Zeng Lang was thinking this, Lu Xuan raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her eyes and said: "Does Mr. Zeng know where the nobleman from Luoyang is staying?"

  She was actually asking the nobleman from Luoyang! Suddenly, a ladle of ice water poured over Zeng Lang from head to toe. He suppressed his displeasure and asked in a low voice: "What did Ah Yue ask him for?" That nobleman now has taken a liking to Lu Yue, but someone of his status and power, what beautiful woman hasn't he seen? Maybe he mentioned Ah Yue yesterday, and tomorrow he'll throw her out of his mind. He didn't want Lu Yue to voluntarily send herself to that man's doorstep at this critical moment!
