Chapter 120: Release from Prison 2.0
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yizhou became timid.
Lu Qian chuckled softly, and that laugh was quite creepy.
"Thank you for your concern, Pei Erlang. I was careless this time, but things are unpredictable. Yesterday I was in jail, and who knows, it might be you tomorrow."
The biting winter wind was blowing fiercely, and Lu Qian stared at Pei Zhao intently, as if there was a bone-chilling frost swirling in those auspicious phoenix eyes.
Hearing this, Pei Zhao just smiled, but his smile was even more sarcastic than any harsh words.
As soon as the green-covered carriage left, a carriage with a red tassel and a canopy came from the end of the street.
"A Qian, it looks like your carriage!" Chu Yizhou looked at it with a slightly excited expression.
Lu Qian lowered his eyes and said "Oh" indifferently.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the two of them. Lu Tanwei opened the curtain and said two words with a cold expression, "Get in the car."
Lu Qian moved slightly, and just as he took a step, the corner of his clothes was grabbed by Chu Yizhou.
"Ah Qian, please help me greet the Duke. I won't go up."
Judging from the Duke's face which is as dark as the bottom of a pot, nothing good will happen if he goes up to him.
Lu Qian looked at him dimly, grinning strangely.
"What are you afraid of?"
"You even dared to ride in Pei Zhao's carriage just now, and now you're not complaining about being tired?"
"..." Chu Yizhou pouted.
How could it be the same? At least Pei Jianzhi wouldn't scold him. Although they were wronged, if the Duke got angry, he would definitely beat him up too.
"I think..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Qian reached out and locked his arm, saying without hesitation, "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."
The two brothers were arguing here, and the carriage window was opened again.
"What's going on? Get up here!"
Chu Yizhou had a doomed expression on his face, looking at Lu Qian with despair, as if to say, 'That's it, we'll die together'.
The carriage was quiet and filled with a low atmosphere.
As soon as the two entered, Lu Tanwei smelled a strong sour smell on them. His brows furrowed, and he didn't even bother to scold them. He held his breath and silently opened the car window to let in some fresh air.
Chu Yizhou sat upright, cautiously observing the Duke's expression. Found that the Duke was meditating with his eyes closed, he breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't get scolded.
From the Pacification Office to the Duke's Mansion, the whole journey was very quiet.
When the carriage stopped, Lu Tanwei couldn't wait and got off before them.
I was full of anger when I went to pick them up, but now I feel that they have suffered for so long and have learned a lesson.
It's understandable that young people who haven't entered the government want to start a business and make a name for themselves. But if you constantly beat and scold them, and dampen their enthusiasm, what will become of them in the future?
"A boat."
Chu Yizhou's shoulders trembled slightly when his name was suddenly called, and he forced an awkward smile, "What are your instructions, Duke?"
"Before I went to the Pacification Office, I sent someone to tell your father. Don't rush back. Come with A Qian to the mansion to change clothes and take a bath."
"That's such trouble..." Chu Yizhou felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Tanwei waved his hand: "If you go back like this, your image will be too unsightly. What if your grandmother gets sick from the smoke?"
After saying this, he led the two of them into the mansion and ordered the servant to prepare hot water and new clothes.
Just after passing the second gate, Nanny Zhu beside Wang picked up a bunch of willow branches and hit the two of them, causing Chu Yizhou to jump three feet high on the spot, seven parts out of fear and three parts out of pain.
"This is what Madam ordered. She said she wanted to get rid of the bad luck for you." Nanny Zhu said with a smile.
Lu Qian's jaw tightened as he continued walking towards the yard.
…
The huge hot spring pool was filled with steam.
Compared to Chu Yizhou who was taking a leisurely bath, Lu Qian rubbed himself for a quarter of an hour in disgust. His skin turned red from top to bottom, but the sour smell was still faint in his nostrils, as if it had been marinated and did not dissipate.
By the time Lu Qian had tidied up and stepped out of the yard, the sun was already setting.
The people from the Chu Mansion took Chu Yizhou away early, and he came to the main courtyard alone to visit Wang.
The courtyard is quiet and the candlelight is dim.
As soon as Lu Qian entered the inner room, he saw his mother leaning against the bedside drinking medicine, Song Lingyi sitting on a crescent stool, and...
"elder brother?!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed. She took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Madam Zhu said that you and Chu Yizhou were smelly when you came back. How long have you been washing? How come there is no smell at all..."
A chattering little sister.
Lu Qian narrowed his eyes, his tone as bad as ever: "You want to smell it, how about I find two stinky guys to let you smell it enough?"
“…” Boring.
Lu Yu sat back angrily, "Mother, look at him~"
"Why are you being so mean to your sister? After you got into trouble, she and Lingyi ran around for you a lot. Now you get angry as soon as you come back. You should change your temper, otherwise no girl will be interested in you in the future?" Wang scolded lightly.
Ever since Lu Qian was imprisoned, she felt more and more that it was time for him to find a wife. It was better to have someone who cared for him and understood his feelings than to be away from home all day.
Lu Qian glanced at Song Lingyi casually and said calmly, "What's there to change? I was wronged. Besides, your son is good-looking, and there are many girls in Kyoto who want to marry him."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yu snorted, "Brother, you are so mean-spirited that you don't even treat your own sister politely. Anyone who marries you is stupid."
The brother and sister started arguing, neither of them willing to give in. The quarrel gave Wang a headache and she said angrily, "Shut up."
The room suddenly became quiet.
Wang turned to look at Song Lingyi, her voice soft and gentle, "Lingyi has been in Kyoto for less than a year, and not only has she found her ideal husband, she has also learned the proper etiquette. During my illness, Ayu has become much more sensible and has been by my bedside every day to take care of me."
"As a brother, another year has passed and you still haven't made any progress!"
"Mother, just praise them, why are you belittling me? I've been in the Imperial Prison for so many days, and you're scolding me right after I get back..."
As he spoke, Lu Qian naturally pulled a stool over and sat down next to Song Lingyi, unable to suppress his smile: "I heard from Ah Zhu that you went to the Pacification Office again a few days ago. Are you so worried about me?"
He is called "gigolo" all day long, and if something happens, he will be so worried that he will lose his appetite.
Song Lingyi narrowed her eyes and smiled fakely: "I am worried about my aunt. You are so old, and you still make your elders worry like this." She is used to being self-indulgent.
"I came out safe and sound." Lu Qian muttered coldly.
"Forget it this time. Do you know how worried the whole family is about you? I will discuss with the old lady another day and find you a girl of the right age so that you can put aside your playful thoughts." Wang said.
Lu Qian's face darkened, he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Since his mother said so, it will definitely be implemented soon. He has to find a way to get that damn girl to break off the engagement.
