Chapter 140 Let’s dig up the past
Zhang Qian said, "Thank you for telling me directly instead of just brushing me off." She smiled and said, "Actually, I've known for a long time that you weren't interested in me, but I felt I should still tell you how I feel. A man can have three wives and four concubines outside and have affairs with other women. I think I can also express my feelings."
She was worried that he would think she was shameless and lacked the modesty of a woman.
Lu Chenyang said: "Although I cannot accept your feelings, I will not despise them. You are a brave and intelligent girl, and you deserve a better man to match you."
Zhang Qian couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with me? Sir, if you don't like me, then what kind of man do you like?"
Lu Chenyang smiled. "I've never thought about this. It seems like there are no conditions for liking someone. I haven't thought about her personality or appearance." He looked at her, his eyes as gentle as ever. "Princess, you will meet a better man who will understand your goodness. That man is not me."
He stood up and said, "Today is your birthday. May everything be safe and smooth for you."
Lu Chenyang left, leaving Zhang Qian alone.
Her eyes were red, but she was smiling.
She murmured to herself, "You are the best."
Lu Chenyang hurriedly left the restaurant and sighed softly.
Hurting a girl's feelings, this will lead to hell, right? It's a sin. I hope God will put all these accounts on Lu Chenyang. She, Lu Xueyin, is innocent.
When Lu Chenyang returned to Nanyang Palace, he saw Yan Xing waiting for him.
Lu Chenyang was a little surprised: "Why are you back?"
Yan Xing raised an eyebrow: "Master Lu, your beloved lady has an appointment. Do you think my return is an eyesore?"
Lu Chenyang: “???” No, can we talk properly?
Lu Chenyang changed the subject: "Have you eaten? I'll have someone prepare food for you."
"I haven't eaten yet. Lord Lu, would you like to eat something with me?" Yan Xing asked again.
Lu Chenyang had no appetite for food right now, so he said, "I've already eaten..."
Yan Xing looked over coldly, and Lu Chenyang immediately changed his tone: "It's okay to eat something."
Lu Chenyang gritted his teeth and ate another meal, while Yan Xing kept picking up food for him.
Lu Chenyang quickly said, "I...I'm full."
Yan Xing glanced at him sideways: "The princess and I were chatting and laughing while eating, but I can't eat anything. It seems that it's my fault that I've affected Lord Lu's appetite."
Lu Chenyang: “…” What kind of suffering is this in the world?
Lu Chenyang had no choice but to ask, "Why did you come here suddenly? What happened?"
Yan Xing handed him the letter.
Yan Xing had helped Gao Ming so quickly establish his spies in the capital. All news from the capital was sent to him first.
Lu Chenyang took it and saw that it was gossip about the Second Prince and Fourth Miss Jiang.
He frowned. "Is there something else going on here? The Second Prince's attitude seems a little different this time."
Yan Xing was stunned for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because Concubine Lan's eating manners were too unsightly this time." He frowned in disgust, "She always uses this method."
However, Lu Chenyang felt that the Second Prince's reaction this time was too strong. If the matter was made worse, it would have a worse impact on him.
Lu Chenyang frowned: "Second Prince... is he so concerned about his innocence?"
Yan Xing nodded: "Of course, this is our family's tradition. We must keep ourselves clean and never get involved with other women."
Lu Chenyang looked at him and said, "Sir, please stop saying that. I even sold the token of love you gave to the girl and exchanged it for a large cart of grain."
Even after being exposed, Yan Xing remained calm: "What token of love? That's all slander."
"No, I heard that you used to be so gentle and considerate to Miss Zhao. You even accompanied her to burn incense and appreciate flowers. You were just waiting to marry her." Lu Chenyang looked at him and said. He clicked his tongue twice as he spoke, "The prince is really affectionate."
Lu Chenyang sighed deeply, "Compared to the Crown Prince, I just had a meal with my subordinates, and the Crown Prince got so angry. It's really unreasonable."
Yan Xing was a little anxious: "No, where did you hear all this?"
Lu Chenyang blinked and said, "It was sent from the capital." He said confidently, "It can only be said that the prince was too high-profile in the past, and everyone in the capital knows about it."
Yan Xing: “…”
In the past, Yan Xing was indeed... high-profile. At that time, he was dressed in fine clothes and rode a horse, full of vigor and vitality, and he almost walked sideways in the capital.
Because the more high-profile and tough the Zhenguo Mansion was, Concubine Lan and Emperor Qianyuan did not dare to take action against the Second Prince.
Yan Xing was considered a bully in the capital at that time. He and Zhao Qingwan were childhood sweethearts, and at that time, he treated Zhao Qingwan sincerely.
He actually really wanted to marry Zhao Qingwan. After all, they grew up together, knew each other well, and were a good match. At that time, Zhao Qingwan followed him and called him brother. She was a soft and sweet girl. Since he had no younger sister, he naturally loved her more.
pity……
It was a pity that the Zhao family had betrayed his kindness. He had never blamed them, as it was only natural to weigh the pros and cons.
It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable.
