Chapter 47 Could it be that he... likes men?

She withdrew her hand and looked at him aggrievedly.

"It's fine if you don't give it to me, but why do you hit me?"

"Where's the fabric I asked Qingshu to send you a few days ago?"

"Give it to Sister Lan and Aunt Chun."

"Why don't you stay?"

"The color is too dark for me."

“…”

Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking, Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.

She quickly changed her words.

"Sir, I have absolutely no intention of disrespecting you." Seeing that he still had a cold face, Jiang Yueyao quickly moved closer, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Although the color of the fabric is a bit too dark to make a dress, Aunt Chun used the remaining fabric to make me a small dress, which I am wearing now. Does your lord want to...?"

Lu Sui's fair face turned red.

He covered her mouth and gritted his teeth.

"Jiang Yueyao, are you crazy?"

Jiang Yueyao, with her mouth covered, winked at him ingratiatingly.

Her watery eyes fluttered, and with every flutter, Lu Sui's shame and anger faded a little.

After a moment, he let go of her hand, gritting his teeth in hatred.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll have Qing Yi sew your mouth shut with a silver needle."

“…”

Jiang Yueyao covered her mouth with her hand and didn't dare to say a word.

The carriage finally quieted down. Lu Sui rubbed his swollen forehead and spoke only when he felt better.

"Gold inlaid with jade is my property. If you need jewelry, go there and choose."

“Mmmmm…”

She looked at him eagerly, as if asking, "Can I speak now?"

Lu Sui glanced at her.

"Okay, stop arguing and tell me what you have to say."

Jiang Yueyao quickly released the hand that was covering her mouth.

She was very happy.

There was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"So the gold-inlaid jade jewelry is yours, sir? I heard that all the noble ladies in the capital go there to order their jewelry. Sir, you are really amazing." Jiang Yueyao flattered him out of habit and then asked, "Can I really choose whatever I want? What if the shopkeeper doesn't give me any?"

"I will naturally explain it."

"Okay, then how many can I pick? Three... oh no, four, how about that?" She counted on her fingers, "One for Aunt Chun, one for Sister Lan, one for me, and one for Chenyu."

"You have quite a big appetite." Lu Sui snorted coldly.

Jiang Yueyao also felt that she was too greedy.

Lord Lu gave her some jewelry, but she insisted on giving one piece to each of her family members.

It is indeed inappropriate.

Just as he was about to change his words, he heard Lu Sui say.

"Okay."

Jiang Yueyao was overjoyed.

"Thank you, sir. Woohoo, sir, you are so kind."

When she was happy, she wanted to reach out and touch him.

As her fingertips touched his sleeve, Lu Sui stopped her.

"Don't move, sit still."

Jiang Yueyao paused, then slowly sat up straight.

She kept smiling at him foolishly: "Sir, why are you so kind? You are so kind to me."

"Alas, you really can't be too nice to me. If you continue like this, it will only make me more determined to be your mistress..."

"Jiang Yueyao." Lu Sui interrupted her.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"I took pity on you and gave you some jewelry, but you turned your kindness against me and wanted to become my concubine?"

"No...can't I?"

"Don't even think about it!"

The rejection was decisive and decisive.

This made Jiang Yueyao wonder for a moment if she was really ugly, so much so that Lord Lu couldn't stand the thought of having her as a concubine.

The carriage traveled for another half an hour and finally arrived at the shore of Yulong Lake.

The carriages all stopped in an open space not far away, and everyone got off and walked to the lakeside.

Jiang Yueyao followed Lu Sui out of the carriage and followed him to the shore of Baiyulong Lake.

At this moment, many sheds have been built by the lake.

These sheds were built by the nobles in Beijing. They are colorful and look very beautiful at first glance.

Jiang Yueyao followed Lu Sui down the stairs.

The judges sat on a high platform, which was located in the center with the best view. Yuan Shuyan sent someone to say that the Yuan family's tent was right next to the platform.

Jiang Yueyao pulled Chenyu and followed Lu Sui all the way over there.

She didn't think much about it at the time.

She held Chenyu close to her. There were too many people there. It was her first time there and she was afraid of getting lost.

But she underestimated Lu Sui's influence in the Beijing circle.

The moment he appeared, there was a great commotion in every shed.

"Master Lu is here too?"

"I heard he's the referee for this year's dragon boat race, so naturally he'll come."

"Oh my god, do you remember four years ago when he participated in a dragon boat race? I was stunned at the time. He was obviously a civil official, but his physique was better than that of a military general."

"How could I not remember? I've been thinking about him all the time since then."

"It's just a pity that he doesn't seem to like women."

Jiang Yueyao suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Don't like women?

What does this mean?

Could it be that he... likes men?

When Jiang Yueyao thought of this possibility, she felt it was very likely.

After all, she had wanted to be his mistress countless times, but he had rejected her completely.

She and Chenyu looked at each other, and both saw the blazing flames of gossip in each other's eyes.

Just then, a different voice came.

"Why are there two women following Lord Lu?"

"Who are they?"

Then a very familiar female voice was heard.

"She, the owner of Wanhe Tower, a lowly merchant girl, is unworthy of coming to a place like this."

It was the voice of Princess Xiangning.

Jiang Yueyao didn't want to pay attention to it, but Chenyu beside her couldn't stand it anymore.

She turned around and walked to the other shed.

He raised his foot and kicked.

"Who are you talking about?"

The speed was so fast that even Jiang Yueyao was stunned.

She quickly went up to hold her, glanced at Princess Xiangning's ashen face, and lowered her voice.

"Are you crazy? She is a princess..."

"So what if she's a princess? Can she humiliate others at will?" Chenyu raised her hand and pointed at Princess Xiangning, full of anger. "You went out so early in the morning without brushing your teeth? You stink so badly that you can smell it from two miles away."

"You..." Princess Xiang Ning slammed the table and stood up, "Where did this slut come from? Someone, bring her up here and give her a slap in the face."

The maids and servants who were guarding her rushed forward.

Just as he was about to take action, Lu Sui's low voice came over.

"The princess is so majestic."

Jiang Yueyao looked at Lu Sui who had returned, pulled Chenyu over and stood behind him.

Lu Sui stood with his hands behind his back.

He was dressed in a dark green brocade robe and his voice was neither fast nor slow, but it made people dare not to be presumptuous.

Princess Xiangning was furious.

"Taifu, didn't you hear that? That bitch just insulted me. By insulting me, she's insulting the royal family. If this gets to know..."

"Who insulted the royal family?"

A clear voice came.

Everyone turned around and saw the prince leading a group of young men towards them.

Everyone stood up and saluted, and Jiang Yueyao quickly pulled Chenyu to bow to the prince.

The prince ignored everyone and walked straight towards Lu Sui.

"Master, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Sui bowed to him and said, "It is my fault for keeping the Crown Prince waiting for so long."

"Oh, I was just saying it casually. Everyone knows you're busy."

The prince's attitude towards the Grand Tutor was intimate yet respectful.

Everyone looked at Lu Sui with a little more caution.

Princess Xiangning was not happy.

"Brother Crown Prince, why are you so disloyal? I'm your sister, and you're just going to let others bully me like this?"

The prince looked at her and the expression on his face suddenly faded.

"Xiang Ning, you are really capable of making the Grand Master angry."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed several times.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince had always respected the Grand Tutor, but no one had expected it to reach such a level.

At this moment, Princess Xiangning was embarrassed in front of everyone.

She was furious, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore.

His eyes fell on the group of young men behind the prince.

Her face darkened.

"Lu Lang, what are you doing hiding there? I've been bullied, don't you know how to stand up and say something for me?"

Jiang Yueyao followed her gaze.

In the crowd, Lu Hengqing, wearing a silver-white dragon boat suit, looked very handsome and eye-catching.

When Princess Xiangning called his name, he lowered his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything and didn't move at all.

Until the other party lost his patience and walked up to him angrily.

"Lu Hengqing, I'm calling you, are you deaf?"
