Chapter 71 Do You Like Me?

The reason why Aunt Sun could be the first person beside Princess Qin was because she was very smart.

She knew that she couldn't invite Lu Jiangnian and his wife today, but as long as the methods they provided were useful, her trip would be worthwhile.

Last night, the prince was very angry. He cursed Master Lu for being too cruel in the mansion and wanted to go to the emperor to complain.

But he was stopped by the princess.

It is not difficult to file a complaint, but if the emperor does not punish Lu Jiangnian for this, the Qin Palace will lose face.

Lu Jiangnian is not Jiang Suiyuan, and what's more, they have no evidence to prove that the princess's injury is related to Lu Jiangnian.

Also, over the years, the princess has been pestering Lu Jiangnian and has done a lot of excessive things, and the emperor is probably annoyed.

That's why the princess decided to take the princess away from the capital. If they stayed any longer, who knows how many embarrassing things would happen.

Aunt Sun knelt down and bowed: "Then I won't bother you anymore. I will go back and tell the imperial physician."

After the people from the Prince of Qin's Mansion left, Wang Min looked at Lu Jiangnian disapprovingly: "Did you take action against the Lord of Le'an County?"

"The King of Qin and the Crown Prince have a good relationship, and you are the Crown Prince's study partner. You two should not make things too awkward with each other, otherwise the Crown Prince will be caught in the middle and it will be difficult."

Yuan Wanru, however, defended Lu Jiangnian.

"It's mainly because the princess went too far. She said she would whip me every time we met, and my husband was just trying to help me vent my anger."

Wang Min sighed, "It's not that I don't want him to protect you. He can stand up for you when you are in danger. Mother is so happy."

"I just asked him to stay away when he makes his move, so that the people from the Prince Qin's Mansion won't notice and come looking for him."

I see.

Unexpectedly, Wang Min also has such a dark side.

"Mother, in fact, the Qin Palace can't produce any evidence, otherwise Aunt Sun wouldn't be so polite."

Wang Min nodded: "It seems that there is no evidence in hand. I hope that Princess Le'an will change her ways after this incident."

These are all unknown things and no one can guarantee them.

Lu Jiangnian sneered: "If she refuses to change her ways, then let her suffer until she is scared, and then she will know how to repent."

If it weren't for the relationship between him and the Crown Prince, he should have taught Murong Ling a lesson long ago.

She wanted to bully Yuan Wanru, how could he just stand by and watch.

He looked down at the person next to him. Although she was capricious, heartless, and a constant stream of lies, she was his wife and others could not bully her at will.

Wang Min looked relieved.

Her son came from a good family and looked good. Although he had a cold personality, he had pride and good upbringing in his bones, and would not easily use violence against a woman.

The fact that he was allowed to make an exception was enough to prove that he cared about Wanru.

She took Yuan Wanru's hand and placed it in Lu Jiangnian's hand: "You two are in a stable relationship now, so I don't worry about anything."

Lu Jiangnian pretended to be indifferent, but he had already closed his palm, tightly trapping the tender little hand.

Yuan Wanru only felt that his palm, with a thick warmth, passed from his fingertips to her heart.

She tried to pull her hand away, but he didn't move.

"Husband, mother has invited us to have breakfast, shouldn't you let go?"

Wang Min had already left, and there were only two of them left in the room.

In the morning light, her face was like a flower bud covered with dew, about to bloom, and her lively black eyes were like calm ripples, which made him very dissatisfied.

He did not let go of her hand, but pulled her closer, stared into her eyes and asked her: "Don't you really like me anymore?"

His eyes were stubborn, as if he was determined to get this answer.

Yuan Wanru was stunned for a moment, her heart slightly moved, but she still smiled and said: "I made it clear last night, I really don't like you now."

The faint smile in Lu Jiangnian's eyes disappeared completely.

His eyes were full of mystery and undercurrents, and the atmosphere was frozen.

He suddenly laughed, calmly and elegantly, but with a strange sense of danger: "Very good, I'll see how long you can hold on."

Lu Jiangnian raised his hand and stroked the corner of her eyes, his gesture intimate and affectionate: "My lady, let's wait and see."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and strode away.

Yuan Wanru had no idea what his two sentences meant.

Lu Jiangnian had a sullen face as he walked out of the house.

Xuan Qing and Xuan Ying followed him from a distance. Xuan Qing muttered quietly, "The prince has had a cold face since he came back last night. Who made him unhappy?"

Xuanying glanced at him mockingly: "Are you stupid? Where was the last place he went last night?"

Xuan Qing suddenly realized that the prince was in a very bad mood when he returned to Wujingzhai from Mianyue Pavilion.

It seems that there is a conflict with the Crown Prince's wife.

"Then let's be careful today and don't make the prince unhappy."

Lu Jiangnian walked quickly, and the anger in his heart rose to the sky.

Don't like it anymore, right?

Is it true that he, Lu Jiangnian, is not worth her persistence?

-

East Palace.

Lu Jiangnian frowned and drank another glass of wine.

The prince looked at him sideways: "Why do you seem a little aggressive today? What happened?"

They met today to discuss the "gift-giving" matter on Murong Jun's wedding day.

However, after this person came, he just kept drinking silently. It didn't look like he came to discuss anything, but rather like he was drinking to drown his sorrows.

"Nothing."

Lu Jiang said in a young and elegant voice, exhaling a breath of foul air: "There is irrefutable evidence that Chen San kidnapped children and raised thieves. All of Chen San's money was given to Chen Zhengquan as a filial gift. There is an account book to prove it."

"These things have been handed over to Murong Ji. The fifth prince's wedding day will be in two days. How could Murong Ji miss this opportunity for revenge? He will definitely choose to report it on that day and then arrest people at the wedding hall."

The prince nodded: "That's right, the fifth brother was biting the third brother a while ago, and the third brother got such a handle, so he naturally used it in the most useful place."

"On the wedding day, my cousin was taken away by someone else in the middle of the wedding. The fifth brother didn't even know if he had the heart to enter the bridal chamber."

The prince said this, raising his glass and clinking it with him from a distance.

"Your wife is quite lucky. Just accompany her to Xiangyuan Temple and you can find out something important."

When mentioning someone, Lu Jiangnian became angry again.

"she?"

"What good is there in being indeterminate?"

"You liked it yesterday, but you don't like it today?"

"Your Highness, do you think a woman's love is so fleeting? It's not like a gust of wind that will leave no trace after it passes."

He was a little drunk at the moment, and couldn't help but blurt out a few words that he would not normally say.

If it were someone else, they would not understand the cause and effect after hearing it, but the prince was trained as the crown prince since he was a child, and his mind was sharp and he had already analyzed the clues from these few words.

"Weren't you afraid that she would pester you at first?"

"Why, now that people don't like you, you're annoyed again?"

He laughed a few times, then said, "I say, Master Lu, are you in love with your wife?"

In the beginning, he kept saying that he disliked the other person for being "deep-minded" and "scheming", but now he is drinking alone in the East Palace for a woman. How could this not be love?

"That day in the East Palace's secret cell, I realized something was wrong, and it turned out just as I expected."

Lu Jiangnian was stunned on the spot.

What, does he like Yuan Wanru?
