In fact, at this point, he was already at his wit's end. Apart from trusting Lu Erlang, with so many eyes watching him, he couldn't kill Lu Xian again.

After a moment of silence, the young man was able to adapt himself and said, "I misunderstood you and killed you by mistake. I apologize to you. I hope Lu Erlang will not bear grudge against me."

Lu Xian raised his head and looked at him in surprise.

Liu Mu smiled and leaned forward slightly: "In this case, Lu Erlang seems to mean that you are on my side..."

Lu Xian resisted: "It's not..."

Liu Mu ignored his weak refusal and stared at him with dark eyes: "Then you won't tell my secret. Can you shake hands with me and swear? A gentleman's promise is as good as gold."

He stretched out his hand.

Lu Erlang Lu Xian stared at the hand that the young Prince of Hengyang extended to him for a long time. He was slightly confused and felt resentful. Although he was slow to react, Lu Erlang immediately realized the young man's little trick and still wanted to be in the same boat with him. In fact, the two of them were not in the same boat... However, if this could make Liu Mu feel at ease, then why not trust him?

Lu Xian slowly stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with Liu Mu.

The two looked into each other's eyes - "A gentleman's promise is as good as his bond."

Lu Xian made a promise to King Hengyang, and King Hengyang felt happier. People of this era still valued promises. If they couldn't do something, they would rather refuse than swear. Since Lu Erlang swore an oath with him, it meant that Lu Erlang would not quarrel with him for the time being.

This is just to comfort himself in vain... Liu Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Erlang absentmindedly. In fact, he didn't trust anyone now, and he didn't know if Lu Erlang could make him trust him.

After Liu Mu and Lu Erlang shook hands and swore an oath, he waited for Lu Erlang to leave. After all, there was a princess waiting outside, right? Who knew that he felt very upset, and Lu Erlang felt very upset too. After the tea boiled, Lu Xian did not leave, but sat here and began to drink tea leisurely, and also started to chat with him.

Liu Mu couldn't wait any longer and said impatiently: "Why don't you leave?!"

Now that everything has been discussed, what is Lu Jilang still doing sitting here?

Lu Erlang said with embarrassment: "...wait for my cousin."

Liu Mu: "..."

His tone was slow and dangerous: "I have told you many times that she will not come to me. I don't know her well, why do you believe that she will come?"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Lu Erlang quickly comforted him: "I know, I know. I am just waiting... If she really doesn't come, I will leave."

He was injured now, so it was not suitable for him to run around to find his cousin Luo and tell her not to ask for help from the King of Hengyang. In Lu Erlang's opinion, there seemed to be no third party involved, and the emotional problems between his cousin and his third brother could always be solved by themselves during their quarrels. So Lu Erlang was not in a hurry to persuade his cousin or his third brother. He just had to stay here with the King of Hengyang and make sure that his cousin would not come.

Luo Lingyu naturally wouldn't come.

Liu Mu's face was dark. In the end, he saw that niece, Princess Ningping, was also called in by Lu Erlang. The two of them had tea together in front of him, and he also prepared a meal for them in the evening. When the night fell and Liu Mu was very impatient, Lu Erlang chose to leave. Liu Tang blushed and followed Lu Erlang to leave, not daring to look at the gloomy face of the little uncle.

Liu Mu: ...This Lu Erlang is so shameless!

Lu Yun and Luo Lingyu went out for a day, and Luo Lingyu had a great time. With Lu Yun's financial support, she bought herself a lot of things. After she came to Jianye, this was the first time she spent money so happily. At first, she looked at Lu Yun's face, but after finding out that he didn't care about money, Luo Lingyu became even happier: He doesn't love money, but I do!

Jewelry, clothes, spices, she loves them all!

Lu Yun sneered: "A girl who usually takes three breaths after taking one step is full of energy after a whole day of shopping. It shows that she loves money like her life."

When they returned to the mansion, it was already very late. Just as she was about to say goodbye to Lu Yun, Lu Yun took her to the "Qingyuan". Luo Lingyu could not complain, so she followed Lu Yun. When they arrived at the courtyard gate, the lights in the courtyard were bright and lively. A group of young men and women were there, and they turned around to look at the two of them.

Zhou Yangling is here.

King Chen is here too!

Zhou Lang bowed and smiled: "...I came to celebrate my sister's birthday."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

Standing next to Lu Yun, she breathed rapidly.

Luo Lingyu's voice was tense: "Xuexue, Brother Xuechen, is this your gift to me? This banquet... is for me?"

Lu Yun: "No, I just did it for fun."

Luo Lingyu: “…”

He walked past her. She gave him a fierce look and followed him inside, feeling sweet in her heart: For me! It must be for me!

She really likes the way Lu Xuechen is rich and powerful!

I want to marry him!

Chapter 72

Lu Sanlang held a small banquet for Luo Lingyu behind closed doors in his "Qingyuan". Although no elders came to perform the coming-of-age ceremony for Luo Lingyu, this was really unavoidable and Luo Lingyu did not ask for it. Lu Yun was already under great pressure to hold this banquet when there was no news about Lu Erlang.

Moreover, Luo Lingyu looked around and found that almost all the men and women she had seen at Zhou Lang's birthday party during the day were here. This gave her a sense of vanity - as if she was not any worse than Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang has Prince Chen to protect him, and she also has her difficult-to-talk-to brother Xuechen.

Among the people who were drinking and feasting, the youngest sister Luo Yunhuan waved to her elder sister first, but her elder sister obviously had no time to pay attention to her. The gentlemen greeted Luo Lingyu enthusiastically, with Qi Sanlang, who was blushing, being the most excited: "Sister Luo, come here quickly. I didn't know that today was your birthday, and I neglected you during the day."

The girls also laughed: "We have prepared a gift for you."

Luo Yunhua: "Sister, sit here!"

Her sister didn't even look at her, but smiled sweetly and walked straight towards the crowd of men and women.
