Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 95 You are not qualified to drink my wife's soup
With a pleased smile on his lips, he looked back at Yuan Wanru.
Yuan Wanru's face started to burn uncontrollably.
She didn't want to blush, but she was too shy.
Liang Yusong noticed that the couple were flirting in front of everyone, and she felt angry. She couldn't help but look down on them: they came from a poor family and had no manners at all.
"It seems that Miss Yuan is good at making soup. Please make some for us to taste someday."
She interrupted their eye contact with a smile, but unexpectedly, it attracted Lu Jiangnian's attention.
Liang Yusong felt happy, and the smile on her face became even gentler. She looked at Lu Jiangnian with watery eyes, secretly expecting something, wondering what he would say to her.
Although she is not as beautiful as a fairy, she has a dignified and elegant appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to call her a pretty lady.
What's more, she has been living a life of luxury since childhood, and has good skin, a fair and delicate face, bright eyes and white teeth. She can always attract the attention of others in the crowd.
For so long, she had been flirting with Lu Jiangnian openly and covertly, but he was ignorant of her feelings and never gave her any response. She was really annoyed and resentful.
Could it be that she, who is kind-hearted, noble and elegant, is not as good as Yuan Wanru, who is sarcastic and profit-seeking?
She was still adjusting the angle, trying to let Lu Jiangnian see her most beautiful side.
Unexpectedly, the first words he said made her feel like she was struck by lightning, and she stood there in a daze.
"My wife's hands are delicate. The soup she stews is not for everyone to drink."
"You don't deserve to drink."
The atmosphere suddenly became weirdly awkward.
Liang Yusong wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.
Lu Jiangnian!
She held her breath and tried to look calm: "Brother Lu really loves Miss Yuan. I was rude."
She thought that the matter was over and she didn't want to face so many people's surprised eyes anymore. She was about to walk into the flower hall in a hurry, but was stopped by Lu Jiangnian.
However, this time, she did not feel any joy at all. Instead, she was afraid that Lu Jiangnian would say something that would embarrass her.
Sure enough, the premonition was true.
He had a serious face and a cold voice: "Miss Liang was born in the Duke of Wei's Mansion. Don't you even know the most basic etiquette?"
I wonder what he is picking on again?
Cao Lanxin and others stared at her intently. Liang Yusong gritted her teeth, forced herself to straighten her back, and asked back righteously.
"Brother Lu, your words are too hurtful. The Duke of Wei has been blessed by the emperor since the founding of the country. The current Concubine Liang is from the Duke of Wei's mansion. What right do you have to question the upbringing of the Duke of Wei's mansion?"
She was like a wounded hedgehog, raising all her spikes in an attempt to fight back.
At this time, she no longer cared about the purpose of seducing Lu Jiangnian.
This was the first time in her life that she had been humiliated like this by a man, a man she had deliberately seduced. This feeling made her feel doubly humiliated.
Lu Jiangnian didn't take her anger seriously at all. He said indifferently: "It's ok that you don't know etiquette, but you're not smart either."
"I have never questioned the upbringing of the Duke of Wei. I am saying that you do not know etiquette."
He suddenly turned around and put his arm around Yuan Wanru's shoulders. The two of them stood side by side with a fist between them, and they didn't look very close.
But in the eyes of Lu Yun and others, they only felt that their relationship was very strong and there was no room for others to interfere.
Yuan Wanru couldn't keep up with the pace and didn't know why Lu Jiangnian did this.
He sneered, "My wife and I have been married for a long time, you know that. If you were polite, you wouldn't call her 'Miss Yuan'."
"Is it wrong to say that you don't know etiquette?"
These words made Liang Yusong almost stagger. She couldn't refute this matter.
Her momentum immediately weakened, her eyes became red, and she bit her lower lip, as if she was about to cry.
Even so, Lu Jiangnian shouldn't have pointed it out in public. With this attitude, he clearly didn't give her face.
So cruel.
"Brother Lu, it's me..."
Lu Jiangnian raised his hand and said in a cold voice: "There is no marriage relationship between our Lu family and the Liang family. You haven't discussed marriage yet. In order to avoid suspicion, you should call me Lu Shizi or Lu Lord."
It sounded nice, but everyone present could tell that he wanted to avoid suspicion and didn't want to have anything to do with her.
What a heartless man! Is he really heartless?
If it was Yuan Wanru who said these words, Liang Yusong could still convince herself that it was just a woman's jealousy. It was just a name and there was no need to care about it.
Now, the one who cares about it is Lu Jiangnian.
He is a grown man, so what's wrong with someone calling him "Brother Lu"?
Is she a monster?
Or are you just a country girl, not even worthy of being called "Brother Lu"?
At this moment, she didn't want to care about any big plans anymore, she wanted to leave this damn place!
Madam Cao, who was beside Madam Lu, came out and called out, "Miss Liang, the old lady was asking about you just now."
She seemed not to notice Liang Yusong's ugly expression, and said with a smile: "Hurry up and go in with me."
Liang Yusong's expression changed over and over again, and finally he took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Let's go."
Lu Yun and the others followed in, Yuan Wanru and Lu Jiangnian lagged behind. She glanced at Lu Jiangnian and said, "You are really a man with a heart as hard as iron. Aren't you afraid that she will cry on the spot when you say that to her?"
He sneered: "I didn't say anything wrong. What does her crying have to do with me?"
"Yeah, you're pretty hard-hearted."
She said it casually, but in fact, deep down, she was somewhat happy.
There is a type of man who feels pity for a woman when he sees her crying, as if all the mistakes she has made can be erased as long as she cries.
Fortunately, Lu Jiangnian is not that kind of person.
He reached out and pinched her earlobe, as if kneading it casually, and said in a low voice: "It's okay if I'm soft-hearted to my wife."
As he said this, he put down his hand and walked into the flower hall first.
Yuan Wanru stood there, her heartbeat disordered for a while. She raised her hand to fiddle with the earlobe he had touched, and murmured helplessly, "When a man is too proactive, it's hard for a woman to resist."
Who knows, it might be her who won’t live to see the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year.
The main reason was that his attitude towards Liang Yusong just now really satisfied her.
Just as she was thinking, the person who had clearly walked in unexpectedly appeared at the door again. The tall and slender man stood there and looked at her: "What are you standing there for? Come here."
He extended his right hand toward her.
The light streamed down onto his face.
His thin lips were slightly raised, his smile was gentle and comfortable, and his deep and charming eyes gazed at her softly and warmly.
Yuan Wanru smiled lightly without noticing, took two steps forward, and put her hand into his palm: "Here it comes."
Lu Jiangnian was in a trance for a moment, and felt that this handshake seemed different from the previous ones.
A little more care.
"Um."
