Madam Lu stood up, looking at her granddaughter who didn't respect her as her grandmother. She was so angry that she trembled all over. But this was the Emperor's decree, and she didn't have the guts to disobey it.
She would never have imagined that the "granddaughter" in front of her was actually the real Prince An, Zhu Yu.
Gritting her teeth, she angrily pointed at Zhu Yu: "Tomorrow, is it? Fine! Then start the day after tomorrow. It's just a one-day postponement, I, this old woman, can wait!"
Zhu Yu was playing with his teacup, spinning it around. When he heard this, he stood up. Although the original owner of this body was thin, he was actually quite tall. When he stood up, he outshone Old Madam Lu.
"Unfortunately, the Emperor has entrusted the matter of the rebels to Prince An and His Highness the Fifth Prince, and both princes have suggested to the Emperor that my brother and I cooperate from the sidelines. Perhaps, Grandmother, would you be so kind as to come to the palace?"
He paced around the room, seemingly deep in thought, before finally approaching Old Madam Lu: "Just repeat what you just said to the Emperor. Just that line, 'I'm out partying with a bunch of men all day, I'm ruining the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion!' Yes, that line."
"You want to punish me by keeping me confined to my residence to reflect on my mistakes and copying 'Women's Virtues' and 'Admonitions for Women' ten times? His Majesty is benevolent and magnanimous; he will surely understand your desire to protect the family traditions of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion and will certainly agree!"
In the end, Madam Lu was helped away by her nanny, because she was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would collapse.
In the next room, Qi Yu and Li Feng pressed their ears against the wall, hearing the entire conversation clearly.
After Madam Lu left, the two looked at each other and simultaneously gave each other a thumbs up.
Li Feng never expected that the young lady, who had always been timid in front of Madam Fang and the old lady, would become so fierce.
Qi Yu realized that, besides fists, words could also drive people half to death.
After showering and washing up, Zhu Yu lay in bed, his bright eyes gazing at the top of the tent.
Zhu Dan's words, "Marry me and become my Fifth Prince's Consort," would often pop into his mind.
Although Zhu Yu found Zhu Dan displeasing in every way since the fifth prince returned during the Lantern Festival, he had to admit that the fifth prince was indeed more outstanding than him.
If she were a real woman, she would never choose a man who is capricious, ruthless, and initially despises her and has a deep misunderstanding of her.
The fifth brother was humble and polite. They came from the same era, shared a common language, understood each other, and he could see the tacit understanding between them most clearly.
But why should Zhu Yu give up Lu Xiaoyun?
He is Zhu Yu, and he won't give in!
Zhu Yu did not sleep well that night.
Lu Xiaoyun also didn't sleep well.
On one hand, Zhu Dan said he wanted to marry her; on the other hand, there was what Zhu Yu did with her in the carriage.
To be honest, although she was a little annoyed, Lu Xiaoyun was still enjoying it immensely at that time.
It was very enjoyable afterwards, and we even secretly looked forward to the day when we would use our bodies together, which would definitely be much more enjoyable than just using our hands.
Even though she dated Zhang Hao for six years in modern times, the two of them only kissed or held hands at most, and never went to bed together.
This is extremely unusual for a couple to date for so long in the 21st century.
But the two of them seemed to have never realized anything about each other. They weren't very traditional people; they just felt that such things were optional before marriage.
However, for some reason, she developed a strong desire for Zhu Yu's body.
So, Lu Xiaoyun took off her clothes and stood in front of the long mirror, carefully observing Zhu Yu's body.
During this time, she has been applying the scar removal cream prescribed by Ayan, and the hideous scars on her body are now barely visible.
What catches the eye is wheat-colored skin, sexy collarbones, a strong chest, a well-defined abdomen, and powerful limbs, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist that disappears an inch below the chest and abdomen.
Although it was drooping at this moment, she knew what kind of majestic appearance and endurance it possessed.
Lu Xiaoyun's face flushed red instantly. She hurriedly put on her undergarments and crawled into bed.
The next day, before dawn, Zhu Dan was already sitting in his carriage waiting at the gate of Prince An's residence.
However, Zhu Yu arrived earlier than him. After entering the mansion, he simply had the coachman drive the carriage away.
At this moment, he was having breakfast with Lu Xiaoyun and Lu Yuyan in the flower hall.
"Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is waiting for you at the door."
Zhu Yu frowned: "Let him wait." What's wrong with him coming to block the door so early in the morning?
Feng Yan looked at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Xiaoyun put down her spoon and said, "Let him in and have a meal together. It's so early; he probably hasn't had breakfast yet."
Zhu Yu glared at Lu Xiaoyun.
Lu Yuyan smiled gently: "Don't be so stingy, it's just having breakfast together."
Zhu Yu snorted coldly. Is this a matter of being petty or not?
A moment later, Zhu Dan appeared in the flower hall, but in addition to Zhu Dan, Princess Ruoling also came.
"Good morning, Fourth Brother; good morning, Miss Lu; good morning, Mr. Lu." Ruoling was like a cheerful bird; as soon as she entered the flower hall, the entire hall brightened up.
Zhu Yu gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to correct Ruoling's way of addressing him. Sooner or later, I will make you call me "Fourth Sister-in-law" again!
The group exchanged greetings.
The steward busied himself adding bowls and chopsticks for Zhu Dan and Ruoling, and then ordered someone to fetch some more food from the kitchen.
Lu Xiaoyun asked with a smile, "When did you get back?"
A few days before the palace coup, Ruoling was sent to Qinglong Temple along with the Empress Dowager.
Ruoling: "Yesterday evening, it was Fifth Brother who picked up Grandmother and me and brought us back."
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at Zhu Dan. It seemed that Zhu Dan left the palace after he and Zhu Yu left.
However, since Qinglong Temple was located in the south of Shengjing City, Zhu Dan left the capital through the south gate. Jiang Chuan led them in circles near the north gate, which is why they didn't run into each other.
If Zhu Dan had caught her and Zhu Yu in the carriage like they did yesterday...
Lu Xiaoyun quickly lowered her head and used a spoon to scoop up some porridge to drink.
Zhu Yu gave Zhu Dan a cold look.
Zhu Dan ignored it. Anyway, his fourth brother was very hostile towards him now, and he would never back down so easily.
Ruoling sat down next to Lu Yuyan.
There was an empty seat on the other side of Lu Xiaoyun. Just as Zhu Dan was about to sit down, Zhu Yu pointed to that seat and said, "Princess Ruoling, please sit here."
Ruoling didn't notice anything amiss, and stood up, saying, "Okay."
Anyway, that seat was right next to Mr. Lu, so I stood up and walked over to sit down.
Zhu Dan, who had a faint smile on his lips, suddenly turned pale. He couldn't possibly do what his fourth brother did and make Ruoling change it back.
Fourth Brother is now in Yun'er's body, and he's quite shameless in his words and actions. But he's still a man, so how can he be so petty with a "little woman"?
Ruoling rummaged through her small backpack and pulled out a book, handing it to Lu Yuyan: "A medical book, for you."
"Give it to me?" Lu Yuyan was overjoyed when he saw it; this was the second half of the medical book he had been searching for for a long time.
The first half of the book was in the Prince An's mansion. He saw it and liked it very much, so Zhu Yu gave it to him without saying a word.
