Pedestrians came and went on the street, watching them with curiosity.
"Isn't this the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo? Who is the person he's holding? He looks somewhat familiar."
Another person said, "It seems to be Lu Xiaoyun, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, who is infatuated and vicious."
"Oh no, really? Is Miss Lu that pretty?"
“I think so. Look at those eyes, who else could it be but Lu Xiaoyun? Wait, that's not right. Didn't she marry Prince An? Why is her brother holding her now? The heir of the Duke of Zhenguo looks extremely angry. I hope nothing bad has happened.”
"Who knows? If nothing happens in a mansion like this every day, can it still be called a mansion?"
Zhu Yu felt his ears burning hot.
Lu Yucheng's icy, furious gaze swept coldly over the gossipers, and they immediately shut their mouths.
Jiang Chuan jumped off the carriage and blocked Lu Yucheng's way, lowering his voice to say, "Young Master Lu, it's true that you care about your sister, but the Princess Consort is injured, and the weather is so cold. If you go back like this, what if the Princess Consort catches a cold?"
"Look at the sky, the wind is so strong, it might snow in a while."
Lu Yucheng stubbornly stood still, refusing to get into the carriage.
Zhu Yu knew that his brother-in-law was determined to take him back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion today, so he also advised, "Brother, my back does hurt a bit, and I just rushed to see you, so I'm dressed lightly. Let's take the carriage instead."
Lu Yucheng looked down at the thin person in his arms. Her little face was so white it was almost transparent. Holding her like this, he couldn't feel her weight at all.
He said softly, "You were the one who said you wanted to ride in a carriage."
Zhu Yu sighed helplessly, "Yes, it was me who wanted to ride in the carriage, it was definitely not my brother's idea."
Lu Yucheng glared at Jiang Chuan, then grabbed Zhu Yu and darted into the carriage.
The carriage was extremely spacious, with a thick layer of velvet carpet inside. As soon as Zhu Yu entered, he felt much warmer and let out a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Chuan originally intended to have him drive the carriage, but Lu Yucheng's voice came from inside the carriage: "I can't afford to use the people from the Prince An's mansion. Luo Wang, you drive the carriage."
Jiang Chuan awkwardly handed the riding whip to Luo Wang.
Luo Wang didn't give Jiang Chuan a friendly look either, snatched the whip, and lashed it across the horse's rump.
The poor horse of Prince An's mansion was innocently caught in the crossfire and galloped forward with a yelp.
Inside the carriage, Lu Yucheng had Zhu Yu lie face down so he could check his sister's back injury. However, since his sister was a woman, he hesitated for a long time before finally reaching out.
"Brother, I'm really fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright."
Lu Yucheng said sternly, "Whether you're alright or not isn't up to you. When we get back to the manor, I'll have Old Master Hong take a look at you. Don't worry, Old Master Hong is a famous doctor in the southern border region, he'll definitely be able to cure you."
Zhu Yu didn't know who the old man Hong that Lu Yucheng mentioned was, but he was probably the physician of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. Judging from Lu Yucheng's way of addressing him, his medical skills must be quite good.
Zhu Yu was in a real bind. If Old Man Hong saw his injuries and told his brother-in-law, he was afraid that Old Man Hong would storm into the Prince An's mansion and beat up his own sister.
Zhu Yu slowly sat up: "Brother, Mr. Lu, who serves the Prince, is a renowned physician. He has already examined me and said there's nothing seriously wrong..."
"You still bring him up!" Before Zhu Yu could finish speaking, Lu Yucheng's anger, which he had managed to suppress, surged up again.
"Sister, don't you know what his relationship with the prince is?"
Zhu Yu was puzzled. There was no way Lu Yucheng could have known so quickly that he and Lu Xiaoyun had traveled from the past and were siblings in the modern world, as they had said: "What, what relationship?"
Lu Yucheng felt he couldn't bring himself to say it, even his ears turned red: "Just now, before you came, I heard you call that Mr. Lu 'Sister' to His Highness Prince An. Also, Jiang Chuan said he wrote a love letter to Prince An. Xiaoyun, tell your brother, is it because of him that Prince An wants a divorce?"
Zhu Yu's lips twitched. How could this be explained?
How did things get spread like this? He, the dignified Prince An, is now seen as a homosexual in his brother-in-law's eyes!
He wouldn't think that he likes Ah Yan, which is why he wants to divorce his sister, would he?
Monster!
He rubbed his temples and said, "Brother, you must have misheard. He didn't call the Prince 'Sister,' he calls himself A-Jie, that's his nickname. Also, the Prince isn't gay, he couldn't possibly like men."
Lu Yucheng remained silent, his expression conveying an attitude that said, "Don't think you can fool me like that."
Then she looked at her younger sister with heartache, feeling that her sister was different.
The carefree young lady from the past now knows how to be considerate of others, and even when Prince An gave her a divorce agreement, she was able to speak up for him.
For nearly a month, I wonder what kind of life Xiaoyun has been living in the Prince An's mansion.
Lu Yucheng's eyes were red and moist. He turned his face away so that his sister wouldn't notice, and secretly wiped them away with his sleeve.
Zhu Yu was also extremely distressed when he saw this. If their bodies hadn't been switched, the real Lu Xiaoyun would have been killed by him.
What would happen if my brother-in-law found out the truth?
He lowered his head and slowly said, "A little over ten days ago, the Prince and I were attacked on our way back to Shengjing from Ganlu Temple. We fell off a cliff and were saved by this Mr. Lu. He is now the physician of the Prince An's residence and has been given an eighth-rank official title by the Emperor."
Lu Yucheng, for one, simply didn't believe it: "Ha, His Highness Prince An is really capable, even managing to get him an official position. A mere country doctor, if it weren't for Prince An, could he have obtained an official title so easily?"
Oh no, this is getting more and more confusing!
“Brother, Lu Yuyan is the savior of both me and the Prince. Their relationship is definitely not what you think. Jiang Chuan is just bored and making up stories about the Prince.”
He pointed to the "Divorce Agreement" that Lu Yucheng had been holding in his hand: "Besides, this is not a love letter at all."
Lu Yucheng sneered: "Xiaoyun, are you stupid? Who in this world can beat His Highness Prince An? Would he be beaten down a cliff with you by assassins and almost lose his life?"
Zhu Yu had a headache: "Wasn't the prince injured? He was shot in the chest with an arrow, so his martial arts skills are naturally not as good as before."
"You don't need to speak up for him. Your brother isn't blind. If he were really as badly injured as you say, he wouldn't have rushed in from outside in such a hurry. Besides, that guy named Lu Yuyan doesn't have a single martial arts skill. How could he possibly save you?"
"He has medical skills, he's a miracle doctor! It was he who miraculously saved us when we were injured. You know about the Empress Dowager's headache, right? The Emperor, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince have searched all over the country for famous doctors but couldn't cure it. But after he came to the palace and performed acupuncture on the Empress Dowager, her headache improved a lot. He said that at most a month, the Empress Dowager's stubborn ailment can be cured."
Lu Yucheng sneered, "Isn't it because the Empress Dowager's headache hasn't been cured yet?"
