Chapter 122: Intrigue and Deception



Preparation, what can be prepared? Are you ready to get spanked?

Lu Wan glared at Chen Yan. Could it be that you are really made of iron and don’t feel any pain when you are beaten?

She knew in her heart that she was just a bystander to this period of history. She could not try to change anything. What she saw was just the events that happened in history appearing before her eyes. But people are all made of flesh and blood. Lu Wan grew up in a peacetime, and what she saw most was the loss of life due to illness and death of old age. Now, suddenly seeing that more than 200 lives were to be sacrificed just because of a plan, she naturally felt hard-pressed.

Lu Wan has forced herself to get used to the intrigues and bloodbaths of this era, but it will take some time to adapt. Fortunately, Lu Wan is not a weak-minded person. She knows what she can and cannot do. So even if she has realized that she has a good impression of the man in front of her, and even acquiesces in his occasional inappropriate behavior, she will only hide this emotion in her heart and will never say it out loud.

It was rare to see Lu Wan not hiding his emotions, and Shen Yan's smile suddenly became bigger.

Seeing that Chen Yan was not going to change his decision, Lu Wan said nothing more, and the two of them returned to Prince Chen's Mansion. As soon as they reached the rockery, they saw Lu Changqing being supported by a maid to appreciate the flowers in the garden.

Although Lu Wan didn't have a very good impression of Lu Changqing, she was kind to her original self in the past, and she was the eldest daughter of the Lu family, so she couldn't ignore her. She smiled and greeted her, saying, "Big sister's injury hasn't healed yet, how can you stand here in the wind?"

Clearly, these were words of concern, but they took on a different meaning in Lu Changqing's ears. She thought that Lu Wan disliked her for coming here and interfering with her relationship with Shen Yan.

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing looked at Lu Wan with some unkindness in her eyes, but because Shen Yan was here, she smiled again, "I stay in the room all day, and I'm almost moldy, so I want to come out to bask in the sun, so that I can recover sooner. Otherwise, if I stay in the Shen Palace without any name or status, it will be very against the rules."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Yan secretly. She was her father's favorite daughter and the most noble legitimate daughter, so she didn't believe that Chen Yan would not be tempted.

Shen Yan was used to intrigues and deceptions, and Lu Changqing's little tricks were really not good enough in his eyes. He also noticed the hostility in Lu Changqing's eyes towards Lu Wan. Originally, for the sake of the Lu family and Lu Changxin, Shen Yan was very happy to keep Lu Changqing in the Shen Palace to recuperate, but he realized that Lu Changqing now had some thoughts that he shouldn't have, and he felt unhappy for a moment. After hearing what Lu Changqing said later, he went with the flow and said, "If Miss Lu feels uncomfortable staying in the Shen Palace, I will send a message to Lu Changxin and ask her to take you back as soon as possible."

Lu Wan only noticed the admiring look in Lu Changqing's eyes when he looked at Chen Yan, and she felt a little unhappy. Then, when she heard what Lu Changqing said, she was stunned at first, and subconsciously thought that Lu Changqing had changed his personality. But after thinking about it carefully, she quickly understood what Lu Changqing meant. Was he selling the personality of an independent woman?

And these words were not spoken to himself at all. When Lu Changqing looked at Chen Yan's unblinking eyes, all he could do was to say, "I am injured but I don't want to trouble others. I am so independent and strong. Your Majesty, you must realize my good side."

While Lu Wan said these words in Lu Changqing's tone in his heart, he felt disgusted enough, but Shen Yan beside him suddenly chuckled.

Lu Wan frowned suddenly, then looked at Chen Yan, his eyes full of questions. How come Lu Changqing's little trick really fooled Chen Yan?

Lu Changqing thought he had messed up, and was about to make amends by saying that it was not suitable for him to go back for the time being, but before he could say anything, he saw Chen Yan's smile.

The iceberg-like man suddenly laughed, and such lethality was enough to intoxicate any woman, even Lu Changqing was no exception.

Lu Changqing, who had always been conceited, regretted running away from his marriage after seeing Chen Yan. Later, he saw with his own eyes how considerate Chen Yan was to Lu Wan, and heard his subordinates talk about many of his deeds. His heart, which had been thrown somewhere, started beating fast again.

Does his behavior mean that he is interested in me as well?

Being watched by the two women, Shen Yan coughed twice quickly, then said with a stern face, "As Miss Lu said, you are not from my house. I sent you here that day only because you were too badly injured to be moved easily. Now that your body has almost recovered, it is time for Lu Changxin to take you back."

While speaking, Shen Yan took two steps back and said, "Since Miss Lu is enjoying the flowers, I will not disturb you any more. Goodbye."

While doing this, he did not forget to pull Lu Wan with him to retreat together.

When Lu Wan was being dragged away, she did not forget to look back at Lu Changqing. Seeing her face full of embarrassment and anger, and her sudden pause when her eyes met his, he could not help but laugh wildly in his heart.

Chen Yan's lips curled slightly, and he said with a smile, "Are you so happy?"

Lu Wan glanced at Shen Yan, "How do you know I'm happy?"

"I can feel it."

Shen Yan’s hand touched Lu Wan’s eyes.

The warm feeling stayed on her cheeks, and Lu Wan's face suddenly became hot. She coughed twice, avoided Shen Yan's hand, and said very seriously, "You think too much, it's just a few normal words, what's there to be happy about."

If he didn't know what Lu Wan was thinking, seeing Lu Wan's serious look, Shen Yan would really be fooled by her. However, after hearing Lu Wan's words, he not only did not refute, but also smiled and nodded, "Well, you are right."
