Chapter 45: The Current Crown Prince is in a Daze

  A Qing looked at Lu Yue and asked: "Lu Yue, will you accept it?"

  "Take it, of course!" Lu Xuan picked up the basket and smiled: "Ah Qing, have a meal at my place before you leave?"

  A Qing thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Alright. Your third aunt repeatedly told me to speak well of you in front of you. I had dinner at your house, they must be happy."

  They were certainly delighted. They accepted their gifts and invited Ah Qing to stay for dinner, which seemed to indicate that they wouldn't hold a grudge.

  At this time, Qing carefully asked: "Yu, what happened?"

  Lu Yun smiled and said, "It's all right now." Originally, Ping Shi had intended to take her away directly. It seemed that when they learned about Lu Yun always being in the school, they were surprised. However, all this anger, surprise, even disgust, calculation, should have turned into fear when they saw themselves coming and going from the nobleman's mansion as if it were their own home!

  Ping, you should be afraid of yourself now!

  At this time, she had no idea that there was still a tough battle waiting for her tomorrow.

  After making a promise with Ah Qing, Lu Xuan might have to spend more time with the Ping family. After sending off Ah Qing, Lu Yun walked over to her sister with a complex expression and asked: "Sister, why did they give you gold?"

  Lu Xuan turned around and saw her little brother pouting, his small face swollen, and couldn't help but ruffle his hair. Lu Yun's face turned red as he pushed his sister away, shouting: "Sis, I'm a grown-up now!"

  "Alright, you're a grown-up now." Lu Yue saw her brother staring at her and quickly put away her smile, smoothly putting on a serious expression.

  After telling what happened today, she sighed and said: "It's an unavoidable situation, I had no choice but to go to Yiyuan again."

  At this time, Lu Yue put away her calmness during the day, furrowed her brow and sat on the couch, she had drunk several mouthfuls of wine. Only then did she say in a low voice: "A Yun, actually, the current Ping Shi has already become a phoenix that has lost its wings. Perhaps, since I made my move last time, I should have gone all out."

  Yes, she's not ruthless enough. She can't bring herself to make those hundreds of people go from being wealthy and powerful to having nothing. So, she's still thinking that if the Ping family doesn't take action against her, she'll let them off.

  Thinking of this, Lu Xuan let out another sigh. She closed her eyes and said in a low voice: "A Yun, do you think sister should take revenge on the Ping family?"

  Lu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Of course we have to teach them a lesson!" He raised his head, his eyes shining brightly. With utmost admiration, he looked at his sister and asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you have a plan?"

  Lu Ying nodded and said: "Got it."

  As soon as the words fell, Lu Yun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at his sister with admiration, feeling that his sister was like a towering tree in his eyes, able to withstand all the winds and rains of the world.

  The sister and brother talked for a while before going to sleep separately.

  A night without dreams.

  The next day, less than an hour after Lu Yun had left, the gate of the Lu mansion was knocked again.

  Has Ping sent someone again?

  Lu Yu furrowed her brow and walked away with quick steps.

  With a creak, she pulled open the door and when she saw the person standing outside, Lu Yue's eyes narrowed instantly!

  Standing outside was a young man in black who had met her once. The young man's square face, just standing there, gave people a sense of stability like a mountain.

  When he saw Lu Xue, he lowered his head. After bowing to Lu Xue, the young man said slowly: "Lu's daughter. My master wants me to tell you that he heard everything you said. Since you also have this intention, let yourself sit in a carriage and enter Yiyuan from the side door. The master also said that he may give you a name."

  Maybe give her a name!

  He told her to hail a car herself and enter the Naiyuan Garden through the side door, then he would see how he felt, if his mood was good, maybe he would give her a title!

  Lu Xuan thought that this remark might be normal for other humble girls like her, but to her, it was a humiliation!

  Lu Xuan's face turned black, her lips slowly pursed, staring at the young man without saying a word.

  The young man lowered his head and didn't meet Lu Xuan's gaze. His face was expressionless as he waited for her response.

  It wasn't until much later that Lu Xuan coldly said, "Even if I had that intention, I wouldn't rush to be someone's concubine!" With her chin raised and lips pursed, Lu Xuan spoke in an angry tone, "Tell your master, Yan Lang may be noble, but he's nothing special." After dropping these eight words, she proudly said, "Wait a moment."

  Lu Xuan walked into the room, holding several wooden boxes that Ah Qing had sent over yesterday. She stuffed them into the young man's arms and said coldly: "Tell your husband that there are 300 taels of gold here. I once borrowed his name to use it, and this 300 taels of gold may not be worth mentioning to him. However, he sat there and got 300 taels of gold for nothing, which is also a good thing, isn't it? If he still feels that it's not enough, if I become rich and noble in the future, I will repay him a favor."

  The young man's head jerked up, staring at Lu Xuan in disbelief.

  He didn't dare believe that one day he would hear a girl daring to speak like this about his master?

  His Adam's apple rolled several times, and the young man sighed: "This, Miss Lu, you said that if you are rich and noble, will you repay others' favors?" By this point, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

  In fact, he also smiled. Smiling with his eyes curved, the young man changed his mind and no longer persuaded Lu Xuan. He nodded and said: "Good, I will tell my husband about it!"

  Before long, the young man returned to Yiyuan Garden.

  The master of the house had just dealt with some matters and was sitting in his study, his face wooden. The sandalwood fragrance wafting through the air and the soft piano music drifting from afar dissipated some of the gloom on his face.

  Seeing this, the young man hurriedly walked in.

  He also felt a bit strange, as Lu's daughter had said something extremely unpleasant, and he had always had a good impression of the young Lu girl. But at this time, why didn't he wait a little longer before reporting back?

  The young man walked up to his master with big strides and bowed his head.

  The nobleman turned his head, glanced at him and said faintly, "How did she come back?" After saying these few words, he leaned back, struck a comfortable pose, and waited very enjoyably for Lu Xue's answer.

  It's indeed like that.

  The young man coughed and said slowly: "After I told Miss Lu what the master said, she got very angry and her face turned black."

  "Oh?" The nobleman was in a good mood, he leaned forward slightly and smiled: "How did she get angry?"

  The young woman's voice trembled as she imitated Lu Ying's tone, saying in a shrill voice: "Even if I had that intention, I wouldn't rush to be someone's concubine!"

  Have to say, this young man is extremely talented, Lu Ying's manner and tone are absolutely perfect.

  The nobleman heard it in his ear, hooked the corner of his mouth and nodded: "I knew she would come back like this."

  He said, then stroked his chin for a moment and turned to a nearby beauty saying: "Bring the copper mirror."

  "Yes."

  A copper mirror stood upright in front of the noble, and the noble looked at the person in the mirror for a moment, stroking his chin and said with great courtesy: "Tell me, a man who has always been cautious, why is he so reckless and presumptuous in front of me?"

  He couldn't figure this out, and neither could the people around him.

  After thinking for a moment, the noble turned his head and said, "Continue speaking."

  "Yes."

  The young man said: "After Madam Lu said this, she raised her chin and said with great arrogance, 'Tell your master that although Yan Lang is noble, he's nothing but a mere you!'"

  The nobleman didn't get angry. In fact, he found that no matter what, even if it was a disguise, he couldn't get angry at Lu Yue's provocation.

  Furrowing his brow, the nobleman asked with a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Why did she say that Yan Lang is of high status? I'm not even surnamed Yan."

  The young man replied straightforwardly, "I don't know either."

  In a corner, another aide carefully replied, "Could it be that the two words 'color' and 'lang', referring to Lang Jun's extraordinary appearance?"

  As soon as these words came out, the young man standing in front of the noble's face twitched at the corner of his mouth.

  The noble's face turned dark.

  He sank his face and thought for a moment, it's really possible that this is what he meant. At this time, Lu Shi A Xuan still didn't forget to tease himself with a sentence?

  He lazily leaned back and said, "Continue."

  "Yes."

  The young man took a step forward, placing the wooden box he was holding in front of the noble, opening it one by one. "Lu Xue gave this to me," he said in a cold tone, imitating Lu Xue's voice, "to report back to your family's young master: there are 300 taels of gold here. I once borrowed his name for my own use. These 300 taels may not be worth mentioning to him. However, he sat there and got 300 taels for nothing; that's also a fortunate event, isn't it? If he still feels it's not enough, in the future if I become rich and noble, I will repay him a favor."

  The four fell silent once again.

  In an extremely quiet atmosphere, the nobleman stroked his chin and asked the young man, "Do you think that with my status, sitting here and getting three hundred gold for nothing is a fortunate event?"

  The young man thought for a moment and said with a suppressed smile: "In Lu's eyes, it might be." Although these gold coins were not enough for the master to give to a beggar.

  The nobleman stroking his chin thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then asked: "By the way, she said that if she becomes rich and wealthy in the future... apart from me, who else can give her wealth and nobility? Where does her confidence come from?"

  The young man shook his head and said with a suppressed smile: "I also don't know."

  "Very well." The noble nodded and waved his hand: "Go bring her to me. Oh, secretly, isn't she not wanting people to know?"

  "Yes."

  He watched the young man leave, and the nobleman who had just been in a bad mood found himself in a good mood, so he smiled and beckoned to several beauties to play the zither for him, and then happily started drinking.

  After taking a few sips of wine, the nobleman suddenly let out a sigh and said to a beautiful woman beside him: "You tell me, am I not a bit asking for it?" Otherwise, how could he be bullied by a little girl so happily?

  The beauty did not expect her master to ask such a thing, and was so frightened that she immediately kowtowed on the ground, trembling and knocking her head, unable to utter a word.

  What a disappointment! The nobleman furrowed his brow and waved his hand, letting go of the frightened beauty, who was trembling with fear. He walked slowly out of the study.
