How could the scholars dare to laugh? Xiao Yantai had a father who was the Minister of Personnel, so he naturally did not take a small captain of the Jinyiwei seriously. They did not have such a good background, otherwise they would not have surrounded Xiao Yantai and flattered him all day long.
After hearing what Xiao Yantai said, Lu Jin suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Yantai with a fierce look. He threw down the ink stick in his hand, and came to Xiao Yantai's low table in one step. He put his hands on the low table, and his eyes were cold. "Make your words clear."
Xiao Yantai was frightened by his terrifying aura. He bluffed and said, "Do you still want to hit someone? Don't blame me for not reminding you, this is Xinglou!"
Hua Lan, who had lit the incense earlier, came over. Her voice was soft but contained a warning, "Sir, you should know the rules of our Xinglou."
Lu Jin frowned. Xinglou was the property of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion, and it had the support of Concubine Xiao Xue, who was more favored than the Queen. No matter if they were princes, nobles, or high-ranking officials, if they caused trouble in Xinglou, no matter how powerful they were, they would be useless.
Lu Jin's aura subsided slightly, and he suppressed the anger in his chest and slowly uttered a few words, "I'm just talking to Master Xiao."
Seeing this, Xiao Yantai's expression became arrogant. He sneered, "Don't you know that the bitch selling bean juice has climbed up the social ladder?"
Looking at Lu Jin's expression, Xiao Yantai said softly, "You really don't know?"
He suddenly felt that Lu Jin was a bit miserable, and he smirked, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine for Lu Jin, "Don't think about that kind of woman, drink this glass, and forget about our holiday."
Lu Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he asked stubbornly, "Are you talking about Miss Liang from Taoxi Lane?"
Xiao Yantai took a sip of wine and said with a half-smile, "It's her." He picked up another glass of wine on the table and handed it to Lu Jin, "Why? Mr. Lu Qian won't give me this face?"
Lu Jin was silent for a moment, then took the wine glass from Xiao Yantai, raised his head and drank it all, then put the wine glass heavily on the table. He asked, "Where did Miss Liang and her son move to?"
"That's refreshing!" Xiao Yantai also drank it all in one gulp. He thought that he had become closer to Lu Jin and put aside his previous unhappiness. He said, "I advise you not to think about Liang Wushuang. She is now the person of Cheng Zhangyin and is in favor!"
Xiao Yantai's words sounded like thunder to Lu Jin. He was dazed for a moment and asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I said Liang Wushuang followed Eunuch Cheng and was raised by him in a house outside the palace. She is now in great favor. If you and I see her again, we should call her Madam Wushuang." Xiao Yantai patted Lu Jin's shoulder. "I kindly advise you not to think about that woman anymore. You know what will happen if you offend Eunuch Cheng."
Lu Jinjun's dark face turned pale. He pursed his lips and brushed away Xiao Yantai's hand.
Seeing his sad face, Xiao Yantai shook his head and smiled, "There are so many beauties in Xinglou, how about I help you find one? I'll treat you today! Miss Miwu is the most beautiful one. Her song "Spring Day in My Room" has made her look better than many talented women in Huajing."
Lu Jin ignored him, turned around and walked back to Yu Qizhe's side, standing there in a daze.
The incense in the incense burner was only half burned when Yu Qizhe stopped writing. Hua Lan beside him came forward and took the poem away.
Yu Qizhe raised his eyes to look at Lu Jin and asked softly, "Who is Liang Wushuang?"
Although he was writing a poem just now, he also listened to Xiao Yantai's words.
