Chapter 40: Still have the energy to care about other people's affairs
Yuan Wanru was stunned for a moment.
This young man was different from Lu Jiangnian's cold and deep self-possession. He was only wearing a simple dark robe with no extra decorations around his waist. He was very tall and a little thin, but he had a handsome face.
With red lips and white teeth, he doesn't look feminine, but instead exudes a hint of handsome masculinity.
Lu Jiangnian saw her stunned look from the corner of his eye, and a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at her with a cold tone: "Does it look good?"
This woman really has something wrong with her eyes. Is a frail, green boy worthy of her staring at him?
I can't tell the difference between fish eyes and pearls!
Yuan Wanru really wanted to reply: It looks good.
But after all, I'm afraid of offending others.
Liang Yuhua was very nervous and pulled Liang Nian: "A Nian misunderstood. Someone wanted to arrest me just now. It was Master Lu and his wife who saved me."
When Liang Nian saw Lu Jiangnian's angular and cold face, he also suppressed his anger.
He was not the kind of person who could not distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He owed Lu Jiangnian a favor, so in front of Lu Jiangnian, he naturally hid his sharp tentacles.
It turned out that the woman he married was this person.
I heard she was just an orphan. If...
Deep down in her heart, Liang Nian admired Lu Jiangnian. If she had a brother-in-law like him, he would definitely be able to protect her sister.
Unfortunately, nothing is up to us.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless."
"I just returned to the palace and didn't see my sister. I looked everywhere for her, but I ran into my sister's maid. She pointed in this direction in panic and said that something had happened to you. I..."
He clenched his fists, feeling a surge of fear in his heart.
Liang Yuhua saw that his face was full of regret and she couldn't help blaming herself. It wasn't Anian's fault at all; it was all her fault.
"You accompany your sister to pray. We agreed that I will wait for you in the main hall."
"Who knew someone came looking for me just now, saying that you and your sister fell into the wishing well. In a panic, I followed them out of the hall without knowing whether it was true or not."
"In this matter, I can only blame myself for trusting others."
She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked around: "Where's my sister? Why did you leave her alone?"
Liang Nian just said that Liang Yulu had been settled and told Liang Yuhua not to worry.
Yuan Wanru, who was listening to this, really didn't know how to evaluate Liang Yuhua. This...
To put it nicely, it's naive; to put it bluntly, it's stupid.
It's too easy to deceive people if they just follow what others say.
Of course, Lu Jiangnian also heard these words.
What happens to others is none of his business, but he secretly feels lucky that Yuan Wanru is not stupid, otherwise he doesn't know how many troubles she would cause all day, forcing him to clean up the mess.
"Liang Nian, the person is here, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he took Yuan Wanru's hand and was about to leave.
Liang Yuhua couldn't help but say, "My Lord, we are so kind today. We will definitely come to your house to thank you someday."
Lu Jiangnian frowned. He didn't want to see them again. "No need. I've said it before. I'm just venting my anger for my wife."
"If you come to my door, I will turn you away."
He showed no mercy at all, just like when he saved Liang Nian and her.
Five years ago, it was actually because Chen Zhengquan teased her that Liang Nian had a conflict with Chen Zhengquan.
If Liang Nian had not met Lu Jiangnian, she might have been beaten to death by Chen Zhengquan, and as you can imagine, she would not have had a good ending either.
They wanted to thank him, but Lu Jiangnian's attitude was the same as today.
Liang Nian was worried that if they insisted on coming to thank him, it would cause rumors about Liang Yuhua and Chen Zhengquan, so he decided to keep the matter to himself.
I didn't expect that this time, I owe him a huge favor again.
Liang Nian bowed deeply to Lu Jiangnian and said, "Your Majesty, I will never forget your kindness. If you need me, Liang Nian will go through fire and water for you."
Yuan Wanru glanced at the four people who had fainted from the pain, and gained a new understanding of Lu Jiangnian's fighting ability.
He knocked a big guy out with one punch. How powerful!
She pointed at the men and said, "Are we leaving just like this?"
Liang Nian is only accompanied by a servant and four strong men. Can they carry it?
Lu Jiangnian said unhappily, "Didn't you say you were hungry? It seems you're not hungry enough. How can you have the energy to worry about other people's affairs?"
Liang Nian hurriedly said, "Mrs. Lu, don't worry. I dare not trouble you two anymore. I will take care of it here."
Yuan Wanru smiled at him politely. She just felt that since she had helped, it would be bad to give up halfway: "Okay."
Seeing her gentle smile towards Liang Nian, Lu Jiangnian felt even more uncomfortable. He reached out to hold her shoulders and twisted her back: "Are you still not leaving?"
As he moved like this, Yuan Wanru inevitably leaned towards him.
Just like that, the two people who were originally standing very close to each other were now pressed closely together without any gap between them.
Yuan Wanru tugged at his arm that was on her shoulder: "Alright, stop pulling me, let's go now."
The two walked back side by side, and Yuan Wanru ordered: "You are in such a hurry, are you hungry? Liuyan, bring a piece of osmanthus cake to the eldest master."
He was very frugal with his words and replied with two words: "No need."
The couple gradually walked away. Liang Nian stood beside Liang Yuhua and sighed, "Prince Lu and his wife have a very deep affection for each other."
Liang Yuhua pulled the corner of her mouth and murmured, "Yes, the prince's wife is also a very good person. They are a good match."
-
On the night of Chinese Valentine’s Day, the capital city is very lively.
There is a traditional custom in Dajingchao to light lanterns on the night of Qixi Festival, which symbolizes praying for cleverness, but more importantly, it is about the sustenance and blessings of love.
At the southern end of Zhuque Street, the Yong'an River flows quietly, and the riverside is crowded with young men and women lighting lanterns.
The Qixi Festival lanterns covered the surface of the river and floated away into the distance along the Yong'an River.
Yuan Wanru followed the local customs and bought a hibiscus lantern.
She chose a relatively secluded riverbank, placed the lantern on the water, and gave it a gentle push. The lantern floated downstream, swaying and drifting farther and farther away.
She stared at the lights on the river with a melancholy look, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu Jiangnian looked down at her. The flickering light illuminated her soft profile. Her thick, long eyelashes flickered from time to time, making her look even more vivid.
She seemed to be immersed in a world that he could not touch, which made him feel palpitated for a moment.
He couldn't help but say to her, "Let's go."
Yuan Wanru came back to her senses, met his beautiful eyes, and nodded slightly: "Yeah."
The roadside stalls are doing a booming business, selling candy figures, roasted nuts, and all kinds of rouge and purse stalls. There is a wide variety of goods.
The sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras coming from several pavilions added a bit of interest.
The cool night breeze blew, and Yuan Wanru's hair fluttered gently, and it seemed that a faint fragrance drifted to Lu Jiangnian's nose.
Several children ran past them screaming, playing and shouting, "I want to buy candied haws!"
"I want one too."
Yuan Wanru was accidentally bumped and her body couldn't help but lean to the side. There was a snack stall next to her, and if she bumped into it, she would inevitably get injured.
She let out a low cry, and by the time Liu Yan and Liu Zhi reacted, it was too late.
Yuan Wanru smiled bitterly. It was indeed not a good day to go out. She had run into the god of plague.
She closed her eyes, but unexpectedly fell into a warm embrace. A breath of pine air surrounded her. The arms around her were so strong that they gave her a full sense of security.
She opened her eyes and saw Lu Jiangnian's handsome and stern face right in front of her.
