Chapter 74 No, No, Not After Noon

Lu Xinran's complaints made the few people in the room who could hear his thoughts not know what expression to use to face Song Junyan.

Tang Wanrou had just heard someone mention in her heart that the emperor intended to marry her to Song Junyan. When she heard Lu Xinran talking about him in such a teasing tone, she felt suspicious and a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, no one's eyes were on her, so she didn't have to pick her toes awkwardly.

Luo Sijia was unwilling to be sent back like this. Her mother had been talking about the prosperity of the capital city for more than ten years, and she didn't want to spend the rest of her life reminiscing about it after she returned.

She gritted her teeth in her heart. Since everyone was forcing her, she would sneak into her cousin's study tonight.

As long as she was found in dishevelled clothes and her reputation was ruined, Tang Chongli would have no choice but to marry her.

[Hey, she still hasn't given up and wants to go to Tang Chongli's study to cook dinner at night. Oh, how should I remind Mrs. Tang and the old lady? ]

[Next year is the year of the big exam. If he loses his reputation, he will never have a chance to pursue a career in government, right?]

Lu Xinran saw from the system what Luo Sijia was thinking at this moment and couldn't help but feel anxious.

She had a very good impression of the Tang family. She liked them all, whether it was the kind-hearted old lady, the gentle but strong Mrs. Tang, or the socially anxious Tang Wanrou.

Since she loves them, she won't bear to let them worry about bad things.

She had a worried look on her face, not knowing how to start talking. When Ji heard these words, she was startled and looked at Luo Sijia, gritting her teeth and forcing a smile.

"Girl from the Luo family, you should come to your aunt's place to rest tonight. You will go back tomorrow, and we can talk again. Big girl, you should also come and accompany your cousin from the Luo family. I don't know when we will see each other again after this separation."

Tang Wanrou didn't dare to look at Song Junyan, a foreign man, and just responded with a dry voice.

"It's rare for my cousin to come to the capital, so I should spend more time with her."

Luo Sijia's face turned even paler. What are they doing?

Are you trying to guard against her?

But Liu was still worried. She looked straight at Tang Quyan. As a couple, they were of one mind. Tang Quyan understood her intention almost instantly.

But to say that he wanted to take his son away was too deliberate.

He just nodded slightly, indicating that she shouldn't worry yet, as he knew how to arrange it.

When Liu saw her response, she felt relieved.

Lu Xinran looked up and saw this scene, and immediately smiled like an auntie, "How sweet, Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang are showing their affection!"

The excited voices made Tang Quyan and Liu blush. They coughed lightly and looked away.

Liu's ears were burning. She was so upset by the young man's blunt look at her, especially in front of her mother-in-law and daughter. No matter how calm and magnanimous she was, she felt a little embarrassed.

It was the first time that Tang Wanrou saw her mother with such an expression. At this moment, she immediately forgot about feeling awkward and uncomfortable, and she smiled secretly with her handkerchief pressing the corners of her lips.

Ignored by everyone again, Luo Sijia looked at everyone in the room with hatred in his eyes, always feeling like a little idiot being despised and laughed at.

Does her existence make them so embarrassed that they just want to send her away as soon as possible?

But she just wanted to stay in the capital and become a respectable young lady of the Tang family. What's wrong with that?

Lu Xinran glanced at the booklet again, and with the corner of her eye she saw Luo Sijia, who felt so aggrieved that the whole world felt sorry for her, and she curled her lips in disdain.

If she wants to stay in the capital, there is more than one way to scheme against Tang Chongli. She is determined to take shortcuts, and when she fails to find a way out, she blames everything and really thinks she is a dish to be eaten.

Liu didn't want to focus her attention on Luo Sijia anymore, so she asked someone to bring in a stool. Ji wanted to stand up and give the seat to Song Junyan, but Song Junyan stepped forward and supported her.

"Don't be so polite, old lady."

He and Tang Quyan encountered a difficult case. It was not easy for them to send the person directly to Dali Temple or Shuntian Mansion. Knowing that Lu Xinran was coming to Tang Mansion today, they planned to abduct the person to Yi Zhuang through Lu Xinlan.

But he didn't want to speak up about this matter, so he comforted Ji and turned to wink at Tang Quyan.

Tang Quyan looked at his wife for help, and Liu smiled and asked, "My husband and His Highness have returned in a hurry, but what trouble have you encountered?"

"It's not a big deal," Tang Quyan coughed lightly, pretending to be serious. "There has been a malicious assault in the city recently. Three girls have been killed one after another. The coroners at the Dali Temple and Shuntian Prefecture are all men, so it's inconvenient to perform an autopsy. So I want to ask the two young men from the Lu family to help."

"Autopsy!"

Before Lu Xinlan could say anything, Tang Wanrou had already stood up nervously and stood in front of them when she heard these two words.

"No, Daddy, how can you let them go to such a dirty thing, you..."

She wanted to say that the two of them were her guests and had only been in the house for half an hour, so there was no reason to take them away now.

This doesn't mean they are not hospitable enough.

But a soft and warm hand gently covered her arm from behind.

"Don't worry, sister. It is our honor to share the worries of the Lord and His Highness."

The Tang family was in great harmony, so it was obvious that there wasn't anything big to talk about. If Lu Xinran went back like this, he would definitely feel that this was a bad decision.

If the serial murder case that killed three girls in a row could be solved, it would definitely bring her a lot of health points.

And she also wanted to do her best to make use of what she had learned.

She tilted her head to look at Lu Xinran, and sure enough, she saw anticipation in her eyes.

"There is no time to lose, let's go now."

[Otherwise, after noon, the negative energy in the charity house will be heavy! ]

Lu Xinran stood up and came out from behind Tang Wanrou, just in time to meet Song Junyan's gaze.

Her heart tensed up instantly and she quickly shrank behind Tang Wanrou.

Tang Wanrou met Song Junyan's gaze, her scalp tingling and the hair on her back standing up.

The look of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was so scary, and she was so scared too!

The two of them were as frightened as mice seeing a cat, which made Liu and Tang Quyan feel a little amused and helpless.

Ji was still a little confused. She felt that too many things had happened in the past half hour. She was old and her mind was not sharp enough. She suddenly couldn't understand the situation before her.

"Boss, have lunch right now before you get back to work."

[No! No, no, not after noon! Otherwise I'll be scared to death.]

She admitted that she was very scared and had a strong addiction to being a wimp.

But, but she was just an ordinary person in her previous life and had never experienced any of this, so it was normal for her to be afraid.

Lu Xinlan stood up, took her hand, and bowed to Old Madam Tang.

"It is unfortunate that today I cannot chat with the old lady. We sisters will definitely come to pay our respects to her another day."

Old Madam Tang hurriedly stood up and, knowing that she could not keep the person, she quickly gave instructions to her son.

"It's your duty as men to be busy with official duties, but you two girls can't mess around with you. Boss, you must take good care of them and send them home safely, understand?"

Tang Quyan responded seriously, "Don't worry, mother, I've remembered everything."

After sending him to the gate of the courtyard, Luo Sijia looked at Song Junyan's tall and straight back. Thinking of his noble appearance and his handsome and clear face, his ears felt hot.

"Cousin, who was that young man just now?"

Tang Wanrou was still worried about Lu Xinran and her sister, so when she heard her ask, she replied subconsciously, "It's the fourth prince of the current dynasty."
