Chapter 161
Her relationship with him was still too ambiguous. It would be better for them to calm down and be more clear-headed. In any case, why entangle themselves so closely?
Lu Jiang helped Wen Shu into the carriage. Because he needed to take care of Wen Shu, the three of them had ridden together on the way there.
After lingering for a while in the outer courtyard of the Lu residence, by the time they reached the city gate, the sun was already beginning to set.
The city gates will be locked soon.
The He family's carriage stopped at the front, and the soldiers at the city gate were talking to the He family's coachman.
He Baixuan leaned against the carriage wall listlessly, her fingers painted with bright red nail polish lightly lifting the curtain to reveal a vast expanse of snow.
"I'm tired of seeing snow like this."
The maid relit the incense and tentatively asked, "How about I light some snow lotus incense?"
He Baixuan waved her hand boredly, "Order."
The maidservant breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly a gust of cold wind lifted the carriage curtain, making it curve more wide. He Baixuan inadvertently glanced at the carriage behind her, and her eyes lit up.
"A carriage from the Lu residence?"
The maid also looked in the direction of the sound and said cautiously, "It is indeed the carriage of the Lu family. It seems to be the one that Young Master Lu often rides in."
As if she had finally found something extremely interesting, He Baixuan chuckled and said, "Come with me to take a look."
When a soft female voice rang out from outside the carriage, Lu Jiang's back stiffened, clearly recognizing the woman's voice.
"Young Master Lu? Did you like the gift I sent last night? If so..."
Lu Jiang's back was stiff with fear, afraid that He Baixuan might say something, so he hurriedly interrupted, "Miss He, there's no need to say anything more!"
Inside the carriage.
Pei Lingjun looked at Lu Jiang, whose expression was extremely unnatural, with amusement. He deliberately lowered his voice, determined not to be heard by the woman outside.
"A gift? It's probably from a woman my cousin likes?"
Pei Lingjun was someone who loved watching the drama unfold.
Both of them knew what the other felt for Wen Shu, and they would occasionally tease each other.
However, most of the time, Lu Jiang wouldn't childishly argue with Pei Lingjun.
"No, I'll go down and take a look."
Lu Jiang, wearing a cloak, got off the carriage and led He Baixuan elsewhere.
He Baixuan never expected that she would run into Lu Jiang before the ten-day appointment.
That's true, Shanzhou is only so big, it's fate that we met.
"Young Master Lu, why aren't you saying anything? Don't you like the gift?"
Lu Jiang frowned slightly. "I do really like the Ten Meridians and Nine Directions. I am willing to buy it at a high price. I wonder if Miss He is willing?"
"Buy it?" He Baixuan's voice was sharp for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal. "What if I say I'm not selling?"
"Since you've accepted it, my lord, please come to see me at Jade Pavilion in ten days, okay? I only want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, and I will absolutely not do anything inappropriate..."
The woman's voice was ambiguous, but Lu Jiang remained unmoved, though no one noticed that the man's hand was clenched tightly under his sleeve.
Since my grandfather passed away, the Lu family medical clinic has been declining day by day. If the long-lost Ten Meridians and Nine Directions could appear now, it would be a great help.
Lu's Medical Clinic will surely be able to bring the dead back to life!
Can...
How could something so precious not come without a price?
