Chapter 53 What I want is your business brain
This dilapidated temple looked extremely dilapidated, and even seemed a little eerie and scary with the sound of the wind.
Chang Qing took a look and stopped Lu Wanning outside, "Princess, please wait here. I will go in and take a look."
After walking around inside, Changqing came out quickly and said, "No one's there."
Hu Yan looked at Lu Wanning, "Does the Crown Prince's Consort still want to go in?"
"Enter."
Lu Wanning was not sure whether Sang Mingyue would come here tonight, but she came out today just to try her luck.
The dilapidated temple was covered with spider webs. Changqing used his sword to pick them apart, barely making room for her in a relatively clean spot.
Fortunately, it is summer now, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in this dilapidated temple with wind blowing in from all sides.
At midnight, Lu Wanning fell asleep. Hu Yan took off her coat and covered her with it, letting her lean on her shoulder.
Chang Qing was a little worried, "It's so late, should we wake up the Crown Princess and go back first, and come back tomorrow?"
Hu Yan shook her head. "We have to wait here even if we come back tomorrow. Besides, what if the person the Crown Princess is waiting for arrives right after we leave?"
The two fell silent, and Changqing drew circles on the ground, feeling somewhat bored.
I felt a little resentful that the prince didn't take me with him on this trip.
He has been following the prince for so many years, and this is the first time he has kept him in the mansion.
Chang Qing looked at Lu Wanning's sleeping face and felt a little confused.
The Crown Prince kept him to protect the Crown Princess and help her with things. Does this prove that in his heart, the Crown Princess is already quite important?
The prince's thoughts were difficult to guess. Changqing shook his head and collected his thoughts.
Just as he was about to get up and see if there was any movement outside, he suddenly stopped.
Hu Yan, who was standing by, was also obviously a little wary. The two looked at each other, and Hu Yan patted Lu Wanning's shoulder, "Crown Princess, Crown Princess."
Lu Wanning was not sleeping soundly and woke up as soon as she spoke.
When I opened my eyes, I saw Hu Yan staring at the direction of the temple gate, looking very alert, as if she heard some noise.
Her eyes lit up, and Lu Wanning's attention was focused on the door.
After a while, a staggering figure stumbled in.
The man seemed to be injured. His breathing was heavy and he sounded very embarrassed.
He probably had no strength left after struggling to get here, and fell to the ground as soon as he entered the door, curled up into a ball.
In the moonlight, the dagger in the man's hand shone with a cold light.
Unlike Changqing, whose attention was all on the dagger, Lu Wanning immediately noticed the hairpin on her head that was carved with a magnolia pattern.
In her previous life, Sang Mingyue attached great importance to this hairpin, because it was carved for her by her father Sang. Even though it did not look very exquisite, it was a symbol of deep friendship, and she wore it almost every day.
After the Sang family met with disaster, this hairpin became her spiritual sustenance. She kept muttering to the hairpin like a madman, vowing to kill Wei Xun to avenge the Sang family.
She blamed herself for all the evil things Wei Xun had done, and when the outcome was certain and irreversible, she began to feel regret and blame others endlessly.
She believed that it was she who had invited the wolf into the house, which had brought such a disaster to the Sang family.
Lu Wanning looked at the figure curled up in the moonlight, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.
If she could be reborn earlier, perhaps she could help the Sang family.
But when she was reborn, Sang's father had already been killed, and Sang's mother had already followed Sang's father due to excessive grief.
The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that Sang Zhiyu was still alive.
She walked towards Sang Mingyue, followed closely by Changqing and Hu Yan.
As if hearing some noise, Sang Mingyue forced herself to open her eyes, tightly clenching the dagger in her hand.
She thought these three people were Wei Xun's men, and her eyes instantly became fierce, as if she was ready to fight to the death.
However, Lu Wanning squatted down and looked at her with a frown, "Where is the injury?"
The vigilance in Sang Mingyue's eyes remained unchanged, and the dagger in her hand seemed ready to pierce her body at any time.
"He Maosheng went out to look for you last night. Didn't you see him?"
Eyes trembling, Sang Mingyue asked: "Who are you?"
"You probably don't know me, but the Sang family was kind to me back then. Now that they're in trouble, I naturally can't just stand by and watch."
The Sang family has been indebted to many people, and ever since the incident at home, Sang Mingyue's heart has completely turned cold.
Those who usually fawned over them and looked grateful to their father all the time, now all avoided him like the plague.
Everyone said that Mr. Sang was pitiful, having done good deeds all his life but ended up like this.
But as soon as she asked for help, these people immediately changed their attitude.
"It's true that your father has done me a favor, but the Sang family's misfortune is ultimately caused by you. If you hadn't insisted on marrying that Wei woman, how could the Sang family be in this state now?"
"Get out of here, don't let me see you in front of me."
"Hey, niece, I have a good relationship with your father, but Wei Xun is the boss now. As a businessman, I can't make such a big enemy for myself. I'm afraid that Wei Xun and I will meet many times in the business world in the future. How dare I offend him?"
…
Having seen too many hypocritical and ugly faces of people, Sang Mingyue naturally no longer had any hope for those people whom her father had once been kind to.
After all, when my father helped them, he didn't do it for any reward.
So much so that the look she gave Lu Wanning was still cold.
"So, what do you want to do?"
Lu Wanning looked her in the eye and said in a deep voice, "I need you to help me with something. By the way, I will also help you take back the Sang Mansion."
"Help you do something?" Sang Mingyue couldn't help but sneer. After laughing, her tone became extremely disdainful. "What do you think I can do for you in my current state?"
"I want your business brain, not your body. Your current condition doesn't affect me at all. I'll just treat it. It's no big deal."
As Lu Wanning said this, she reached out and looked at the injuries on her body.
Sang Mingyue was startled, and the dagger in her hand was clenched tightly, as if it was about to pierce her body in the next moment.
Chang Qing and Hu Yan beside her didn't even blink, waiting for her to make a move and then immediately captured her.
"It's okay, just a minor skin injury. He's much better than He Maosheng. That guy's wounds are all festered, and he refuses to get treatment."
Seeing Sang Mingyue's dazed expression when she heard He Maosheng's name, Lu Wanning dropped another bombshell, "Your brother is still alive, you should know that, right?"
She knew how painful it was for Sang Mingyue to have all her relatives leave. If she knew earlier that Sang Zhiyu was still alive, even if the pain could not be alleviated, at least her desire to die would be slightly reduced.
"Xiao Yu?" Sang Mingyue's gloomy eyes suddenly seemed to light up again. The dagger fell from her palm, but she didn't notice anything. She suddenly grabbed Lu Wanning's arm and asked, "Is he still alive?"
