Chapter 224 My Good Girl

In the evening, Lu Sui came to pick Jiang Yueyao up and she told her about Wang's visit today.

In the end, he couldn't help but say a few bad words about Lu Hengqing.

"Lu Hengqing is like a rat shit. I'm really afraid that he will spoil your Lu family's good soup."

"Logically, his status is different now. After all, he's the third son of the Lu family and works in the Imperial Academy. He should be content. But now, I see that he's obsessed with personal gain. He sticks close to whoever has a higher status."

"I feel so ashamed just looking at it."

Lu Sui played with her slender fingers, and the smooth touch made him unable to let go.

After hearing what Jiang Yueyao said, he smiled lightly: "I don't care, what do you care about?"

Then he looked up at her: "Are you still thinking about him?"

"Ugh..." Jiang Yueyao almost vomited.

"Can you please stop disgusting me? I feel like vomiting when I hear his name now. If your second sister-in-law hadn't come to see me today, I wouldn't even want to mention him."

"That's good." Lu Sui let go of her hand, held her in his arms and sat her down.

"He can't get any benefits in the old mansion now. Everyone knows his character. Now, except for his parents, I'm afraid no one else in the mansion is willing to say a word to him."

"No wonder," Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized, "I was wondering why he's always following others around and trying to please them. It turns out you guys don't want to bother with him."

As she spoke, she put her arms around Lu Sui's neck, feeling very happy.

"Great! This is God's retribution to him."

Lu Sui was a little amused: "Are you satisfied with this little retribution?"

"As long as he doesn't provoke me anymore, I won't care what happens to him. What happens to him has nothing to do with me anyway."

"Um."

Lu Sui lowered his head and kissed her on the lips, then looked up at her: "My mother's 60th birthday party is coming up in a few days, do you want to go?"

"I heard from my mother that she had received the invitation. She asked me about it the day before yesterday, and I thought of asking you." Jiang Yueyao held his face with both hands and asked with a smile, "What about you? Do you want me to go?"

Lu Sui chuckled and met her smiling eyes.

"Of course I do."

"Then I'll go. I want to see where you grew up. Which courtyard do you live in?"

"Jing Yutang."

"You went to my Baozhu Tower last time, so I want to go to your Jingyu Hall too. It's rude not to reciprocate. I am a good girl who knows etiquette best."

Lu Sui was amused by her words again.

He chuckled softly, his voice magnetic and pleasant.

"Well, my good girl."

As he said that, he kissed her.

In summer, people wear thin clothes, unlike in winter. They kissed and touched each other for a long time, with their hands still lingering inside the cotton-padded jacket.

Now, you can reach out and touch the smooth fabric of the bellyband...

Lu Sui stopped only when he was almost at Shen's house.

He helped the girl, who was lying limp in his arms, to sit up, then carefully fixed her clothes, and then wiped the lip balm from the corners of his mouth.

When getting off the car, Jiang Yueyao hit him angrily.

"Don't pick me up next time. It's annoying."

Lu Sui chuckled and stuffed another brocade box into her hand.

Jiang Yueyao took a look and asked, "What?"

"This is a gift from the Emperor. I'm going to have it made into earrings. Do you like it?"

Jiang Yueyao opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of oriental pearl earrings.

The pink Dongzhu is lustrous and shiny, and it is obvious that it is a good thing at first glance.

She picked one up and put it to her ear, "Does it look good?"

"Um."

"What do you mean? Is it good or not?"

Lu Sui curled his lips: "It looks good."

"Then I'll wear this when I go to your house."

"good."

Jiang Yueyao got off the carriage and was about to enter the mansion with the gold when she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.

When he turned around, he saw his father, Shen Huaishan.

Delighted, he quickly turned around and greeted him, "Daddy."

Shen Huaishan dismounted, threw the reins in his hand to the servant beside him, and strode towards her.

"Why are you back so late today?" he said, looking at the carriage parked nearby with an unfriendly look.

Jiang Yueyao explained: "I was a little busy today and came back a little late. Dad, have you had dinner? I brought back some wine and food from Qianweilou to supplement your meal."

Shen Huaishan glanced at her, snorted coldly, and then looked at the man who got out of the carriage again.

Lu Sui was still wearing his official uniform, which was dark purple, and looked cold, solemn, upright and majestic.

But at this moment, there was a charming smile on that angular face.

He walked up to Shen Huaishan and saluted: "Duke Shen."

Shen Huaishan looked at him with a sarcastic look.

"It's so late, what are you doing here, Prince Regent? Is there gold at the gate of the Shen family? I see you lingering here all day and unwilling to leave."

Lu Sui raised his eyes and glanced with a smile at Jiang Yueyao who was coaxing him with her head down, then met Shen Huaishan's dissatisfied gaze.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

"You are joking, Duke. Gold is too vulgar. How can it compare to the golden branches and jade leaves of the Shen family's young lady?"

"...Shut up, why do I feel so bad when I see you now?"

"That's normal. If I have a daughter in the future, I'll look at others the same way."

"You still have the nerve..."

Seeing that her father was about to lose his temper, Jiang Yueyao quickly hugged his arm and began to act coquettishly: "Daddy, please come in quickly. Mom has been waiting for you all day."

As soon as Bai Jinyu was mentioned, Shen Huaishan's anger immediately subsided.

He turned and went inside: "Your mother has really been waiting for me for a whole day?"

"Well, I brought you two some wine and food. You two can spend some time together under the moonlight. Isn't that more enjoyable than arguing with people?" She said as she turned around and winked at Lu Sui.

Lord Lu, who was standing not far away, couldn't help laughing when he saw her mischievous appearance.

I really want to marry her home right away.

But judging by the attitude of my future father-in-law... there is still a long way to go.

----

On the ninth day of June, the wife of Duke Lu celebrated her sixtieth birthday, and the Lu family also sent invitations to the Shen family.

Jiang Yueyao followed her mother into the Lu family's carriage.

On the way, Bai Jinyu looked at her and asked curiously, "Your father has been complaining about Mr. Lu San these days, always saying that he has ulterior motives."

Just when Jiang Yueyao was racking her brains to think of how to explain to her mother.

But she heard her ask: "Does Mr. Lu like you?"

"Cough cough cough cough..." Jiang Yueyao was choked by her own saliva.

Bai Jinyu hurriedly patted her back: "Why are you panicking? I'm just asking."

Seeing that Jiang Yueyao didn't dare to look at her, Bai Jinyu's eyes lit up.

"Is it true?"

Jiang Yueyao looked up at her and her little face turned red.

But he nodded slightly.

"Not only does he like his daughter, but his daughter also likes him."

I thought Bai Jinyu would object or something, but I didn't expect her to let out an "ouch".

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell mother?"

"That's good news. Mr. Lu is even more handsome than your father was when he was young. I heard that he's already twenty-five or twenty-six, but he still has no concubines. This shows that he has noble character and is someone you can rely on."
