Chapter 341 Meeting the Rival
He called "Sir Jiang" instead of "Marquis", and his eyes passed over Jiang Yunhe and fell on Jiang Liuyun.
Jiang Liuyun felt the inquiry in Lu Huai's eyes and smiled:
"Father, since Master Lu is here on orders, I will take him for a good tour."
"Go." Jiang Yunhe's gaze fell to the side and he no longer looked at Lu Huai.
But it was impossible for him not to worry.
After Lu Huai and Jiang Liuyun walked away, he waved to the guards waiting beside him.
Lu Huai was unaware of Jiang Yunhe's little trick. At this moment, he was following Jiang Liuyun and observing the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The mansion of Marquis Zhenyuan is very large. This mansion was bestowed by the emperor after Marquis Zhenyuan won a battle.
Although the Ministry of Revenue had been involved in it, he had not observed it for too long. In addition, it had been rebuilt in the middle, so Lu Huai was not very clear about the layout.
He needed to observe carefully to determine the location of Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang.
He has been paying attention to the situation at the Lin family, and all signs indicate that Lin Zhiqing is indeed in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, Lu Huai didn't talk to Jiang Liuyun at all, but just observed the surrounding environment.
As the Ministry of Revenue searched more and more people, Jiang Liuyun frowned:
"Master Lu, what imperial gift would require the Ministry of Revenue to make such a big fuss to investigate?"
"This is the business of my Ministry of Revenue. It seems that Prince Jiang has no right to interfere." Lu Huai said in a flat tone.
"You have no right to ask? It seems that no one knows more about this imperial gift than you, right?" Jiang Liuyun stopped and stared at Lu Huai with sharp eyes.
Of course Lu Huai knew it very well in his heart. He took advantage of the time when Jiang Liuyun went to the Minister of Justice's Mansion to deal with the matter of the mole mother.
Let Yun Feng sneak into the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and steal the imperial sword that originally belonged to the Lin family and had been resold countless times.
At that time, the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion did not know that it was Lu Huai who did it until the imperial gift appeared in the Golden Palace.
However, by that time, even if the people in Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion knew what had happened, it was already too late.
Lu Huai curled his lips and asked, "Does Prince Jiang want to settle accounts with me, or is he trying to get inside information of the Ministry of Revenue?"
He is very straightforward.
Jiang Liuyun was startled, and quickly looked around. Seeing that no one noticed them, he breathed a sigh of relief:
"What do you mean by that?"
"Literally." Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, walked around Jiang Liuyun and looked towards the east kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuyun quickly followed:
"Lu Huai, don't look at me with such a condescending attitude. Can you say your actions are aboveboard?"
Lu Huai paused, and when he turned around, his brows were already furrowed:
"Prince Jiang, I'm here today for official business..."
"Official business?" Jiang Liuyun smiled strangely.
"Lu Huai, Qing'er has known about your past. She also knows that you are wearing a mask, your motives are impure, and you are very hypocritical."
"Now it seems that even at this time, you are still so hypocritical."
"By the way, you and Qing'er, I guess it's been several days since you last saw each other, right?"
Jiang Liuyun's smile was very dazzling, and his intention to sow discord was very obvious.
Lu Huai knew that he did it on purpose to provoke him.
But when he thought about the time when Jiang Liuyun had whispered something to Lin Zhiqing, and how Lin Zhiqing had distanced herself from him because of that whisper, he could no longer control the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
"Prince Jiang, if you put your mind to studying these things in the right way, perhaps the Zhenyuan Marquisate can reach a higher level." He retorted:
"Besides, anyway, when did it become your turn to butt in on what's going on between Qing and me?"
Lu Huai rarely showed such emotion. Jiang Liuyun frowned:
"What's going on between you and her? What's going on between you and her?"
Sensing the hint of anger between Jiang Liuyun's brows, Lu Huai frowned slightly: "What does this have to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me? I, Jiang Liuyun, am his fiancé, who are you?" Jiang Liuyun raised the corners of his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Lu Huai apart and eat him.
"Oh, fiancé?" Lu Huai sneered.
Jiang Liuyun felt Lu Huai's mockery and frowned. He was about to speak, but the next second, Lu Huai came forward:
"When she was trapped in the Lin family and framed, you were plotting how to kill her."
"While she was being scolded at the Spring Banquet, you were flirting with other women and forcing her to bow down."
"When she broke into Liu Mang's mansion at night and narrowly escaped death, you clearly knew it was a trap, yet you still allowed her to take the risk."
"When she was on the execution ground, her life hanging by a thread, you killed Liu Mang and erased the clues that were beneficial to the Lin family."
"Aunt Mu, who was closest to her, died. When she was grieving, you, holding her in your arms, repeatedly rubbed salt into her wounds."
Every time he spoke, Jiang Liuyun took a step back until he touched the wall.
For the first time, Lu Huai's eyes showed some murderous intent:
"Fiancé? You used to avoid the title, so why are you pretending to be affectionate now?"
"Do you think that by sowing discord between me and her, you and her can go back to the way things were before?"
"Jiang Liuyun, wake up."
"I know Ah Qing better than you do. There is absolutely no possibility for her to have any relationship with you in this life."
Every word Lu Huai said hit Jiang Liuyun's heart.
What he had been avoiding was exposed.
Until now, he had to face a fact.
He seemed to have developed a different feeling towards Lin Zhiqing.
But why is this?
His engagement with Lin Zhiqing started as a conspiracy. He also knew that Lin Zhiqing was just a part of his father's plan and had never poured his true heart into her.
But now, not only his father said that he liked Lin Zhiqing, but Lu Huai also said so.
The only thing left in Jiang Liuyun's mind was Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing's voice, appearance and smile seemed to have been engraved in his mind so much that he could think of it as soon as he closed his eyes.
And what Lu Huai said clearly meant that Jiang Liuyun had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a fiancé.
Moreover, in every incident, it was Lu Huai who was always by Lin Zhiqing's side!
Seeing all kinds of complex emotions flashing in Jiang Liuyun's eyes, Lu Huai took a few steps back and returned to his cold and self-controlled appearance.
He didn't want to pay any more attention to Jiang Liuyun, and his eyes kept searching the surrounding houses.
He speculated that if the Jiang family wanted to hide someone, they would definitely not put Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang in an ordinary room.
The most likely place to hide people is a private prison or a secret room.
Lu Huai knew the direction of the private prison.
Yun Feng had been to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion before, and had already explored the surface layout of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Therefore, Lu Huai's footsteps were always moving towards the private prison.
By the time Jiang Liuyun reacted, Lu Huai had already walked a long distance.
Jiang Liuyun followed immediately.
At this time, Lin Zhiqing and Lin Yangyang were also observing the environment around them.
Even though they knew that Lin Shian would find a way to find someone, they were still looking for ways to save themselves.
