Lu Xiaoyun knew that every word Ayan said was true. The two of them did not belong to this era and it was best for them to stay away from the vortex of power.
“From now on, no matter which young master my sister takes a fancy to, I will definitely kidnap him and bring him to marry into our family.”
"But Zhu Yu, no!"
As they spoke, the two stepped into the Flying Snow Garden. Looking up, they saw a slender, seated figure reflected in the window frame, which would occasionally turn its head in their direction.
Lu Xiaoyun knew that Zhu Yu was waiting for her.
Upon seeing the two of them, Li Feng hurriedly said to the people inside the room, "Miss, the Prince and Mr. Lu have arrived."
"Have someone set the table." Zhu Yu's voice reached Lu Xiaoyun's ears through the warm yellow window frame, his voice filled with immense joy.
"Sister!" Lu Yuyan grabbed Lu Xiaoyun's wrist tightly, stopped in her tracks, and seemed determined not to let her in until she agreed.
Lu Xiaoyun pursed her lips and nodded, saying, "Once Zhu Yu has helped me recover, and the body has been switched back, we will leave."
Lu Yuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of her hand.
The two entered.
Lu Xiaoyun vaguely heard two old women whispering in a corner where the light was dim.
"Hey, Granny Wang, you know, the prince and princess have been married for so long, but I've never seen them sleep together."
"Is there even a question? The prince doesn't like the princess at all. Have you ever seen a mistress who has a good relationship with her husband, and whose courtyard is so far from the front yard?"
"That's right. Look at this Flying Snow Garden. It's freezing cold in winter and unbearably hot in summer. If the Prince truly loves and cherishes the Princess, he would never let her live in such a place."
"So, while they may appear to be a loving couple on the surface, in reality, the prince doesn't even look at the princess!"
"That's true. The princess used to be quite unbearable. It's only recently that things have changed because she saved the prince's personal guard. But if you're saying that the prince has feelings for the princess, that's not necessarily true."
The two walked away, whispering to each other.
Lu Xiaoyun's face darkened when she saw the ring suddenly increase by five points.
When did the servants and old women in Feixue Garden become so bold as to gossip about their masters behind their backs?
Just as Lu Xiaoyun was about to order the two gossiping old women to be thrown away, she heard Zhu Yu walk out and give her a sweet smile: "Your Highness."
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at the spot where the two old women had walked away, then stepped inside.
Lu Yuyan followed closely behind.
While instructing the maids and servants in the courtyard to prepare the meal, Li Feng glared at Lu Yuyan. This Mr. Lu looks so dignified, how come he's being so affectionate with the prince?
No, the prince belongs to her young lady.
No one can covet it.
Just as Lu Yuyan was about to step inside, Li Feng stepped between them, blocking Lu Yuyan from entering.
Lu Yuyan grinned and took two steps back, his eyes sparkling like stars: "Little Li Feng, what's wrong? Have you taken a fancy to your brother?"
Li Feng's face flushed red: "Who, who has taken a liking to you? You, you're not allowed to go in! The Prince and Miss are having dinner together, what kind of place are you standing between them!"
Lu Yuyan chuckled. They were treating him like a third wheel. What a pity, he still insisted on going in.
He crossed his arms and looked at the furious Li Feng with a calm expression.
"Alas, there's nothing I can do; the prince can't live without me."
“You…” Li Feng’s face turned red with anger. This Mr. Lu looks respectable, how could he speak so shamelessly?
Jiang Chuan is right. Mr. Lu just wanted to stick by the prince's side because he saw that the prince was handsome and took advantage of his position as the prince's physician.
"Li Feng, let A Yan in," Lu Xiaoyun said calmly.
Li Feng stamped her foot in grievance and looked at Zhu Yu for help: "Miss..."
Zhu Yu glared at Li Feng: "Let him in."
Li Feng protested: "Miss..."
Zhu Yu: "From today onwards, call me Princess."
Lu Xiaoyun: "..." There's no need for that.
Lu Yuyan: "..." Ha, you're dreaming.
Li Feng's smile stretched to her eyebrows, and she immediately put Lu Yuyan's matter aside: "Yes, Your Highness!"
Li Feng blinked, somewhat puzzled. The princess seemed to be growing increasingly fond of the prince.
If that's the case, why did the princess give her those instructions just now?
As a result, she was seen as a wicked servant by the other servants in Feixue Garden.
Although Zhu Yu said those words, his heart was pounding, afraid that Lu Xiaoyun would say something, and he didn't even dare to look up at Lu Xiaoyun.
But Lu Yuyan grinned at him.
The three sat down. Zhu Yu saw that Lu Xiaoyun did not object, and his lips curled slightly. He said to Li Feng, who was preparing to serve the dishes, "You can go out. You don't need to serve us here."
Just as Li Feng was about to leave, he heard the "Prince" say coldly, "Li Feng, you are in charge of all the old women and servants in Feixue Garden. But in my opinion, you have been very negligent lately! You have allowed your servants to dare to talk about their master behind his back. I think you and they all deserve a beating!"
Li Feng's face paled. The prince truly had sharp eyes; he'd discovered it so quickly! She hurriedly knelt down, stammering, "Your Highness, this servant...this servant...I know I was wrong..."
This servant doesn't know how to put it. It was clearly the Princess who ordered me to do this.
They even asked me to give them some loose silver so they could say more things about the princess, especially that the prince and princess don't get along, that the prince doesn't love the princess at all, otherwise they wouldn't have been married for so long and the princess would still be living alone.
Although she was a maid, she had never encountered such a request before.
"Jiang Chuan!"
Jiang Chuan immediately responded.
"Go and tie up those two old women who dared to gossip about the master behind his back. Bring them here in this courtyard and beat them for me!"
"Furthermore, let all the other servants in the courtyard come and witness the execution! I want to see who will dare to speak ill of their master behind his back from now on!"
Zhu Yu: "..."
They went too far.
He truly hadn't expected that Lu Xiaoyun would issue such an order so that he wouldn't be tormented by others.
After all, she comes from a modern society where everyone is equal, a society where people wouldn't be beaten half to death over a few words.
However, this also shows that Lu Xiaoyun cares about him very much and cannot bear to hear anyone say a bad word about him.
They couldn't stand hearing others say that the two of them were not getting along.
Otherwise, it's just a few words, why get so angry?
This also shows that Lu Xiaoyun is now doing her job as "Prince An" very well, and she has a very good grasp of when to establish her authority and when to win people's hearts.
Zhu Yu's lips slowly curved into a smile as he gazed at Zhu Yu with a dazed look.
Lu Yuyan poured himself a glass of wine and slowly sipped it. Seeing the way Zhu Yu stared at his sister, he knew that this scoundrel was probably overthinking things.
His older sister was angry because she saw the numbers had gone up again, and they were one step further away from getting her body back.
He muttered to himself, "He's just being presumptuous."
Zhu Yu pretended not to hear. He was just a little kid; he didn't know anything about love.
