Volume 1 Chapter 43: Who Are You?

  What is she going to do with that noble person? Lu Xuan couldn't answer this question either, she just felt that maybe after seeing that person, there would be an answer.

  Lü Yu furrowed her brow in thought, and Zeng Lang lowered his voice to persuade her gently: "Yu, the most urgent task now is to find Yun. Yun is not young anymore, and he grew up here, could it be that he returned to your old residence? Or did he see someone familiar, so he went to meet that person?"

  Zeng Lang's guess made some sense, but Lu Yue couldn't calm the unease in her heart. She lowered her head to think for a moment, then nodded and said: "What Zeng Lang said is true, I'll go find him." After taking a step, she turned back and asked again: "By the way, husband, you haven't told me where that nobleman lives yet."

  Zeng Lang's face turned blue with rage, he lowered his voice and said in a bad tone: "A Xuan, why are you asking him about his residence?"

  "Is he unwilling to speak?" Lu Xuan said lightly, "It's okay if Lang Jun doesn't say it. Anyway, someone with that noble status has many people who know his residence. I'll just ask others."

  Listening to her speak in such an unhappy tone, Zeng Lang furrowed his brow and muttered: "It's located at the North City's Yi Garden, that's one of the Chang family's estates."

  "Thank you, Zeng Lang. I still need to find my brother, so I'll take my leave now."

  Lü Yuanyuan took a step forward and was about to leave, when Zeng Lang caught up with her in a few strides, reached out his hand to press on her shoulder, and asked anxiously: "Yuanyuan, why must you push people away from thousands of miles? I can help you."

  While reaching out to press against Lu Xuan, Zeng Lang's eyes shone brightly as he looked around at the crowd. As he met the gazes of the people, a thought arose in his heart amidst the joy: Aren't these people all scolding me for being ruthless and unrighteous? If Ah Xuan is willing to get close to me again, then those rumors will be self-defeating!

  Just as he was about to put his hand on Lu Yue's shoulder, she took a step forward and dodged his hand.

  Turning back, Lu Xuan bowed to him and said lightly: "Lang Jun is polite. As for the matter of finding someone, Ah Xuan has his own plan." Facing Zeng Lang's flickering eyes, how could Lu Xuan not understand his meaning? She thought that if she were to beg Zeng Lang, it would be better to beg Yin Chen instead, or even better, to beg Mr. Lu and her fellow students.

  Time waits for no man. After Lu Yuanfu nodded his head in satisfaction, he hastily took his leave, and as Zeng Lang's disappointed cries grew fainter, he went further and further away.

  Before long, Lu Xuan caught up with Master Lu Yun. After asking his master and finding out that the situation was just as the young man had said, Lu Xuan bowed to his master and asked: "My brother will not leave without reason, please help..."

  She had not finished speaking when the old man stroked his beard and said, "Little girl, why worry? Your brother has only been gone for less than two hours, perhaps he went out to play."

  He then advised Lu Xiang: "Little girl, it's better to go home, maybe he has already returned?"

  But things won't be so easy, for her heart is so uneasy!

  After a while, Lu Xuan bowed and said in a low voice: "Thank you, sir." She turned around and left. This gentleman was obviously blaming himself for making a big deal out of something small, and asking him would be useless anyway.

  It's not just useless to ask him, going to ask those classmates of Lu Yun at this time is also useless. After all, the sky has not darkened yet, after all, he has only been missing for less than two hours.

  Lü Yuè thought for a moment, then came to her own courtyard. Standing outside the side door of the Yīn Fǔ, she was stunned.

  She was an unmarried young woman and he was an unmarried young man, the two should not have known each other before. How could she see him? Moreover, what made her go find him and ask for his help in searching for someone?

  She had just been jilted, and at this critical juncture, a private appointment with a man could ruin her reputation!

  After much deliberation, Lu Xiang finally decided to follow his intuition and went directly to the noble's residence to search for someone.

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan no longer hesitated and hurried back to his own home to fetch two things before rushing hastily towards the north of the city.

  Yi Garden in the north of the city is a famous villa in Hanyang, with extremely beautiful scenery. It's said that flowers bloom here all year round and the landscape is wonderfully laid out.

  Lu Xuan walked into the street and took a cargo donkey cart with two iron coins to take himself to the north of the city. When he arrived, the sky was filled with sunset clouds, and the night fog had not yet shrouded everything.

  Before long, Lu Xiang saw the sign of Yi Garden. She jumped off the donkey cart and hurried to the gate.

  At the gate, two tall and expressionless golden guards stood. These two were fully armored, with facial expressions that seemed to be frozen in place, holding long spears in a standing posture, giving off an air of superiority. This kind of grand mansion's aura was enough to intimidate timid people into retreating.

  Lu Yuan did not retreat, she took a few steps forward and came to the front of the two men, bowed her head and called out in a clear voice: "Lu Shi Ayue, requesting an audience with your esteemed master."

  He called out three times, but the two Golden Guards still stood there with expressionless faces, not even casting a glance at Lu Xing. This kind of arrogance was the most intimidating.

  Lu Xuan didn't show any fear, she lowered her eyelids, straightened her back and said in a gentle voice "Won't you two announce my arrival?" Her smile was indifferent, with a hint of arrogance, "Who knows, your master might be willing to see me!"

  A village girl, so confident! Does she think too highly of herself?

  At last, two Golden Guards turned their heads around.

  He shot her a glance, one of the Golden Guards' faces sank, and he growled in a low voice: "Scram!"

  This thunderous roar, a deafening shout like thunder, an aura of murder so thick! Whether it's a weak woman or a strong man, they would all be frightened to the point of collapsing to the ground.

  Lu Ying was not intimidated. She simply took out a wooden box from her bosom.

  The wooden box is exquisite and luxurious, it's extraordinary at first glance. This thing was given by the master of this Yi Garden. She doesn't know if it has any use, but now she can only give it a try.

  With both hands holding the wooden box, Lu Xuan stared at the two Jinwu guards and said loudly: "You two, this wooden box is a gift from your master." After a pause, she took out a book of moderation from her bosom and said seriously: "This book is also a gift from your master. With these two tokens, can I see him?"

  Two Golden Guards turned their heads at the same time, staring at two objects for a moment. They took a step back and made way.

  But isn't it unwilling to report, but let her enter by herself?

  Lu Xiangfu put the two objects back into his bosom and walked towards the inner courtyard.

  The courtyard was very quiet, and apart from a few officials coming and going, there was no scene of many people gathering together as Lu Xiang had imagined.

  After a while, Lu Xuan finally learned from a seemingly honest and talkative little servant the whereabouts of the owner of this garden.

  Following the young man's guidance, Lu Xuan arrived at a garden, amidst the peach blossoms and green willows, she caught sight of the noble sitting in the pavilion, quietly strumming his zither.

  Lu Xuan lowered her head and took a few steps back, then curtsied about ten paces away from the nobleman. When he paused in his playing, Lu Xuan's voice rose as she said in a melodious tone: "Lu Shi Ayu has seen you, sir."

  "Who is Lushi Ah Yin?" A low, magnetic voice came, mixed with the sound of his casual plucking of the zither strings, sounding rather nonchalant. "Who are you?"

  Who are you? A man who had just recently called her "amusing and charming", a man who had called her "Lingling", a man who had previously given her a jade pendant, given her books, was now asking her with such coldness and indifference, Lu Shi Alyin, who are you?

  It seems that no matter which girl it is, they would all feel struck and then produce a sense of loss, a sense of unease... Originally, what I thought was being cared about turned out to be just a joke, the noble person doesn't even remember who you are.

  Luoying doesn't have it.
