Shen Yan paused before saying, "You know medical skills, so you won't tell me. Don't you know that I took off your clothes and hugged you to cool you down? I have no interest in touching you."
He said this with one mouth and one heart, and the last sentence made Lu Wan feel heartbroken.
Yes, he now dislikes me in every way, thinking that Song Ping had betrayed him a long time ago and he has nothing to say to me. How could she be so foolish as to ask him this question? She was simply asking for trouble.
"I understand." Her voice became cold and she stepped aside to put on her clothes.
Chen Yan had already walked out of the cave, and Lu Wan followed him, but she had only taken a few steps when she felt tripped by something and almost fell.
Hearing her scream, Shen Yan turned around to look at her, and seeing that she was fine, he swallowed the words he wanted to say.
Lu Wan looked down and found that what almost tripped her was not something else, but a man's hand. The hand was dry and withered, and it emitted a foul odor, but the body was buried under leaves and dust, so she didn't notice that there was a person in the cave for so long.
She quickly squatted down, brushed off the dust on the man's body, and touched his nose. He was indeed dead.
She suddenly noticed that she was wearing a ring on her other hand. It was exactly the same as the ring she had seen on Song Ping's hand before, except for the words engraved on it.
She quickly took off the ring and put it on her body. The ring might be hiding some secret, so she kept it.
Shen Yan urged her at the entrance of the cave: "Are you going to leave or not?"
"I'm leaving."
The two walked out of the cave, and Chen Yan went back according to the mark he had left when he came here. He could have left yesterday, but he met Lu Wan on the way so he stayed here.
Even without a compass, the two would not be trapped in the mountains.
In less than half a day, the two of them walked out of Qingyun Mountain.
When we got to the street, it seemed quite lively.
The people were talking about something.
As the two were walking, a luxurious carriage suddenly passed by them, and it was obvious that it belonged to a nobleman.
The carriage almost hit Lu Wan, and it also knocked over many vendors' stalls and hit many civilians along the way.
Lu Wan just felt that the other party was extremely immoral and cursed in her heart, but when she turned her head to look at the carriage, she happened to meet the eyes of the Minister of Revenue who lifted the curtain and looked out of the carriage.
The Minister of Revenue had a smile on his face, looking very pleased with himself, and the boasting in his eyes was self-evident.
Lu Wan was no longer surprised at once, because it turned out that this was his carriage. Acting so flamboyantly and recklessly was very much in line with his character.
She didn't want to pay attention to him. She was extremely tired after returning from the cave and didn't want to pay any attention to such a unreasonable person.
Unexpectedly, the Minister of Revenue Du Zheng had his sedan chair stop, walked up to her, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Isn't this Lu Wan? Why is she so disheveled? Look at her dishevelled appearance. Who did she come back with?" After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chen Yan beside her and deliberately said: "You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're rushing to get married like this. You're too shameless!"
Chen Yan was already angry. He walked up to Du Zheng and said, "Sir Du, if I am not wrong, you are already sixty years old and an important official in the court. You don't have to be so harsh in your words. You are just making random guesses about a woman and commenting on her. Is this the problem with your character? I advise you to be more polite in your words."
"How dare you say that to me? Chen Yan, you are just a dog raised by the Lu family, but you are really protecting your master."
Du Zheng said angrily.
"shut up!"
Lu Wan stopped him: "Shut up, you are old and have no moral prestige, and you are just insulting us. People like you are not worthy of making comments on us. And Chen Yan has never been our dog, he is a friend of our Lu family, who do you think you are and dare to talk nonsense!"
"You!" Du Zheng was so angry that he pointed at them and was about to faint. He wanted to have them beaten up, but as more and more people were watching, and Lu Wan was General Lu's sister, he couldn't afford to offend her, so he left in anger.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say: "Lu Wan, Chen Yan, including your Lu family, wait for me. I, Du Zheng, am not so easy to offend. I will make you pay for it."
After saying this, he jumped into the carriage and left.
Lu Wan did not stay long, but returned to the general's mansion. After listening to Lu Wan, she learned that Du Zheng's sixtieth birthday was coming soon, and because he was sixty years old, the emperor had specially shown him favor and wanted to promote him to a higher position. No wonder he was so rampant today.
A few days later, the Lu family received an invitation from Du Zheng, who invited Lu Wan alone and said that he would publicly humiliate the Lu family and make them live in unrest.
Lu Wan didn't care. Even if he was promoted, the Lu family was still a military family and had made many contributions to the court. In the future, the court would definitely rely on the Lu family.
Even if he is in high spirits now, as long as the Lu family has a foundation, he cannot make things difficult for the Lu family.
Even so, Lu Changxin was also worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone. Du Zheng was vindictive and cunning, and Lu Wan, a young girl just starting out, was probably no match for him.
Lu Changxin said: "Sister, if you don't want to go, you don't have to go. It won't matter if we don't go."
Lu Wan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Brother, Du Zheng is afraid that we won't go, so he spread the news that our Lu family has been invited. If we don't go, it would be stingy to let people know. And I don't want him to look down on me and think that I don't dare to go. I'm not afraid of him at all. It's just a banquet. How can he eat me?"
