Chapter 60 Chu Huaiyu's compensation is worthless
Lu Zhaoxue looked at Chu Huaiyu helplessly. She couldn't understand why Chu Huaiyu would argue with someone whose mind was like a child's. Lu Zhaoxue winked at him.
On this matter, Chu Huaiyu refused to back down. He kept a sullen face and stared sharply at Lu Zhaoxue, demanding an explanation from her.
"Waaah... Sister, then... then let's have two brother-in-laws, that way I'll have both an old brother-in-law and a new one..."
After Lu Zhaoxing finished speaking through tears, she reached for the chicken leg on the table, took a small bite, and then secretly glanced at Chu Huaiyu, as if afraid that he would get angry and not let her eat the chicken leg.
Two brothers-in-law?
Ha... Chu Huaiyu felt as if a breath of stale air was stuck in his chest, unable to come up or go down. His brows were filled with suppressed anger, and finally he couldn't hold back any longer. He turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
When the palace servants outside saw Chu Huaiyu walking out angrily, they were all frightened and lowered their heads, hurriedly following him.
Lu Zhaoxue glanced at Lu Zhaoxing, shook her head helplessly, but a faint smile appeared on her lips. Her Zhaoxing really knew how to talk; she had angered Chu Huaiyu away with just a few words. Now, Lu Zhaoxing could finally eat in peace.
Lu Zhaoxue wasn't very hungry because she had already eaten. After Lu Zhaoxing finished eating and settled her in, Lu Zhaoxue got up and went outside the palace.
Lu Zhaoxue suddenly noticed that Chu Huaiyu was standing outside the palace. Chu Huaiyu's dark robes fluttered in the night wind as he looked up at the star-studded night sky. The profile of Chu Huaiyu's face appeared particularly cold and hard under the moonlight, as if he had blended into the night sky of the palace walls.
Lu Zhaoxue watched quietly. Suddenly, Chu Huaiyu turned his head, his dark eyes sweeping over Lu Zhaoxue, his gaze still fixed on the black sky in the distance.
Chu Huaiyu slowly asked, "Why did you come out?"
“Your Majesty, this is your palace. It is not appropriate for Zhaoxing and me to live here. What do you intend to do with us?” Lu Zhaoxue asked directly.
Chu Huaiyu paused, then turned his gaze to Lu Zhaoxue, "I have already ordered the renovation of a palace, and you and Lu Zhaoxing can move there soon."
"Hmm." Lu Zhaoxue responded indifferently. What else could she do besides accept Chu Huaiyu's request?
Chu Huaiyu suddenly sneered, walked towards Lu Zhaoxue, and leaned close to her ear, "Lu Zhaoxue..."
"I want you to understand your place! Even if you are a palace maid now, you are still my person! You can only obey me!"
"I understand." Lu Zhaoxue lowered her eyes slightly, her tone devoid of any emotion.
"You should pack your things now and move there."
...
Lu Zhaoxue held Lu Zhaoxing's hand and followed the palace maid who was leading the way. They walked until they reached a secluded palace garden and stopped. The palace maid bowed and said, "Miss Lu, this is the place. His Majesty specially ordered people to clean this place. If you need anything, please tell me."
After saying this, the palace maid turned and left.
Lu Zhaoxue took a deep breath and pushed open the mottled vermilion palace door. What she saw made her freeze in place. The interior was not as desolate as Lu Zhaoxue had imagined.
Instead, every detail inside felt so familiar that it made Lu Zhaoxue's heart pound. For a moment, she almost mistook it for the Lu family home, where everything was exactly as it had been.
Lu Zhaoxue twitched the corner of her mouth. Why was Chu Huaiyu doing this? Was this his compensation? But in her eyes, his so-called compensation was worthless.
