Chapter 173
Yingxian was experiencing heavy snow and strong winds, while Shanzhou was enjoying rare good weather.
The winter sun isn't very warm, but when it shines on you, it still feels incredibly warm and cozy.
Inside the restaurant, Lu Rou felt a chill run down her spine. Slightly flustered, she abruptly stood up and asked again in disbelief, "What...what did you say?"
Sitting opposite her was a woman in fine clothes, not very old, with a charming appearance, but behind that indescribable charm was a sickly air of dejection.
He Baixuan clenched her fist and smiled, "Why are you so surprised, Sister Lu? Could it be that you don't want to do what I said?"
"How could I possibly collude with you in something as despicable as drugging someone and ruining their reputation?!" Lu Rou, true to her name, was only slightly louder than she was indignant; she posed no threat whatsoever.
He Baixuan chuckled and stood up, taking Lu Rou's hand and whispering a few words in her ear. Suddenly, she saw Lu Rou's expression change, her eyes widening as she stared at the woman in front of her.
"My He family is a powerful clan in Shanzhou, surely we can't even find out about this little thing." Judging from the woman's voice and smile, there was nothing wrong with her, but the words she spoke were contrary to human ethics and disregarded etiquette.
"If things go well, how could that young master Song not be interested in you?"
These words struck a chord with Lu Rou. She naturally admired Song Langjun, but Song Langjun only had eyes for Cousin Shu. He never had eyes for any other woman.
On New Year's Eve, she saw it all clearly from the shadows. The handsome and refined Song Langjun, with red eyes, pinned Wen Shu against the wall and demanded a kiss. Their affectionate demeanor filled her with envy!
A pair of beautiful women, as lovely as you.
Even if she watched from afar and secretly admired him, how could she do such a despicable thing?
"This has damaged Cousin Shu's reputation. Miss He, please don't mention it again!"
"Eh—" He Baixuan chuckled, "Sister Lu, you misunderstand. He has already accepted the Ten Meridians and Nine Formulas that I gave to Young Master Lu before. Your mother has also received quite a few gifts from the He family recently. I think you understand the implication of my words..."
The woman casually fiddled with her bright red cardamom buds, a pure and innocent smile on her face, tinged with a hint of embarrassment. "Lu Jiang's future wife shouldn't be Wen Shu, but me. Since we'll all be family sooner or later, how can Sister Lu refuse me now?"
"As you know, your cousin Shu is quite cunning. She can keep your elder brother hooked up with her and also have a complicated relationship with Song Langjun. It's clear that Song Langjun is being kept in the dark. Doesn't this person have a wicked heart? Why should Sister Lu show mercy to someone like that?"
The figure coiled around her almost like a snake, and in the moment Lu Rou was distracted, her mind seemed to be bewitched by the snake demon.
He Baixuan whispered gently in her ear, "If things go well, your elder brother and that Young Master Song will no longer need to be bewitched by her. At that time, with Sister Lu's beauty, would she still be afraid of not winning Young Master Song's favor?"
Lu Rou was startled.
"Sister Lu, why don't you think about it some more?"
After He Baixuan's people left, Lu Rou collapsed onto the round wooden chair, looking dazed.
After leaving the restaurant, the waitress bent down to lift the curtain and let He Baixuan into the carriage. Hearing He Baixuan's words and recalling the warning from the head of the family, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
"Miss, the head of the family warned us not to provoke that young master Song. He must be very powerful. Even the second young master had his arm broken by him, and the head of the family swallowed his anger. It's clear that we must not mess with him!"
He Baixuan leaned against the soft couch inside the carriage, stroking her hair with one hand, and said lazily, "When did I provoke him?"
The maid paused for a moment. To mess with that young master Song's woman was no different from provoking young master Song himself.
As if knowing what the maid was thinking, He Baixuan glanced at her sideways and said, "What are you afraid of? After all, it was Lu Rou who did it. What does it have to do with us?"
