The smile on Lu Mingxuan's face grew gentler. "Why are you here alone, Second Sister? My Ninth Brother is not feeling well and can't accompany you to enjoy the scenery. I'm really sorry for that."
He took a step forward with feigned consideration, a faint fragrance wafting from his sleeves. "The peonies in the Yuxi Garden are in full bloom. Why don't I accompany you for a walk?"
Jiang Jiang took a half step back, his eyes slightly cold. "Your Highness Prince An, please be careful with your words. Although my prince is disabled, he understands the elegance of romance better than many healthy people."
"Besides, you should be saying this to my sister, or is it that Prince An can't stand the loneliness after just a few days of marriage?"
She actually described herself as a lonely and resentful woman in the boudoir.
Lu Mingxuan's smile froze, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Second sister, why do you have to deceive yourself? What future can a disabled person give you?" He suddenly grabbed Jiang Jiang's wrist and said, "As long as you are willing to say a few good words to your father-in-law, I will..."
"Let go!" A cold voice came. Lu Mingxuan was startled and subconsciously let go of Jiang Jiang. Didn't he send someone to guard it? How could someone get in?
Lu Zheng held Jiang Jiang behind him, looking at her red wrist from being grabbed, feeling both pity and anger. He said to Lu Mingxuan coldly, "Sixth brother, you've done something like this, are you disregarding your own dignity? I don't need to hide the matter of the manor in the eastern suburbs for you."
Lu Mingxuan had originally been too lazy to bother with the cripple, but when he heard him mention Dongjiao Manor, his expression changed: "How...how did you find out?"
"Sixth Brother, there's no need to ask me. Just know what kind of person you are." Lu Zheng took Jiang Jiang away in front of him and warned him as they passed by, "Mind your own business."
Lu Mingxuan looked at the two men's backs as they walked away, a cruel look flashing in his eyes. He had no idea that his unknown brother could actually find out information about him.

"Husband." Jiang Jiang looked at him worriedly after getting on the carriage. "What you just said, will he retaliate against you?"
Lu Zheng held her wrist in his hand and wiped it clean bit by bit, as if he was wiping away some dirt.
Hearing this, he sneered, "He maintains private soldiers in his Dongjiao mansion and even forges weapons privately. This is a serious crime of treason. If he dares to act rashly..."
Lu Zheng said coldly:
"Tomorrow the memorial from the Censorate will be delivered to your father's desk."
Jiang Jiang took a breath of cold air.
This plot in the original book was clearly revealed in the later stages of the novel, but Lu Zheng unexpectedly got the evidence in advance.
She suddenly thought of something and leaned closer to whisper, "Then why doesn't Your Highness show up and..."
"The time has not come yet." Lu Zheng wrapped her cold fingers in his palm to warm them. "Third brother has the Li family of the Ministry of War and the Zhang family of the Ministry of Works standing behind him. I want to take them all down in one fell swoop."
Although he couldn't help but alert the enemy that day, it didn't matter. He didn't believe that Lu Mingxuan would be willing to give up his private soldiers directly. He just wanted to move to another place and continue.
He suddenly pinched her fingertips and said, "Jiang Jiang, the way you scolded me just now..."
"It's cute."
Jiang Jiang said, "He's so disgusting. He married my sister and still approached me secretly. Does he think I'm a fool and can't see what his intentions are?"
Then I thought that there really was a fool in my previous life who didn’t see it.
Jiang Jiang: “…” Enough, someone come and save me from my love-brained self.
She asked Feng Xin to pass the news of the incident on the 1st to Jiang Yun: "Pull it through a few more hands, don't let my sister know that it was me who spread it."
"You do care about her." Lu Zheng suddenly spoke.
In fact, from the perspective of others, Lu Mingxuan must be much better than him. He was not surprised that his brother would set his sights on Jiang Jiang, so he sent people to observe secretly.
Besides, didn’t he succeed in stealing someone else’s girl in his previous life?
Lu Zheng thought back to just now. He saw Lu Mingxuan standing tall and gracefully in front of Jiang Jiang from a distance, with a seductive smile on his face. The covetousness and greed in his eyes made him instantly captivated.
Why does he look at his Jiang Jiang like that?
