Chapter 62 You Are My Sweetheart
Lu Changji's tone was very gentle, with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold and piercing.
Jiang Shu's mind flashed with Lu Zhun's fate. Lu Zhun was killed by his nephew, Prince Yong, who was then killed by Lu Changji. Lu Zhiyi wanted to avenge Prince Yong but was also shot to death.
She fell in front of Jiang Shu, her blood red as clouds.
All of this was Lu Changji's doing! He would never show mercy to anyone who posed a threat to him.
Jiang Shu shushered, she stared into Lu Changji's eyes and tried her best to put on a gentle smile.
She carefully pinched the edge of the letter, pulled it out from Lu Changji's fingers, and threw it aside.
Lu Changji looked at Jiang Shu coldly without saying a word.
Jiang Shu's back tensed up when he looked at her. She took a deep breath and sat on Lu Changji's thighs with her head held high. She raised her arms, hooked them around his neck, tilted her head back, and slowly brought her cherry lips closer to his Adam's apple, her breath as fragrant as orchid.
"You know, I suffered a lot as a child. I didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. In the winter, my hands would get frostbite and my fingers would be as thick as carrots. I just want to live a good life with enough food and clothing. I don't want to live like I did when I was a kid anymore.
If I were to elope with Ye Qian, I'd probably end up living in the open air. I would never put myself in that situation."
With the sweet and soft beauty in his arms, the warm breath sprayed on Lu Changji's Adam's apple, and the numbness spread throughout his body. Lu Changji's ears turned red, and the dormant parts of his body quickly woke up.
Lu Changji held Jiang Shu's knees and adjusted her position. He whispered, "You said you had me in your heart and would wait for me to come back. Didn't you take this opportunity to have a secret affair with Ye Qian?"
Lu Changji stroked Jiang Shu's earlobe and pinched it hard: "Jiang Shu, it's meaningless to tell the same lie twice."
Jiang Shu gasped as she felt a sharp pain in her earlobe, and became more and more anxious.
Although Lu Changji moved his position while holding her, she could still feel his changes.
Full of vitality.
Jiang Shu bravely untied Lu Changji's belt. Her hands were trembling, but her movements were very decisive. She untied Lu Changji's belt neatly.
Lu Changji's breathing was a little rapid, and his chest was rising and falling slightly.
Jiang Shu secretly glanced at Lu Changji, and knowing that he didn't mind, she reached down along his shirt. Just as she felt a little bit of heat, Lu Changji grabbed her wrist.
Lu Changji pulled Jiang Shu's hand out of his underwear. Veins popped out on his neck. He stared at Jiang Shu, gritting his teeth and saying, "You're so fond of Ye Qian that you're afraid I might harm him?"
She is so interested that in order to protect Ye Qian, she takes the initiative to have sex with him.
Qi and blood surged rapidly, and adrenaline surged in his body. Lu Changji had never felt so frustrated, humiliated, and angry as he did now.
He pinched Jiang Shu's waist, moved her off his legs, and strode out the door.
Jiang Shu was worried that Lu Changji would harm Ye Qian, so she hurriedly chased after him, hugged Lu Changji's waist tightly, and whispered, "What are you going to do now?"
“You know, you are the only one in my heart, but given your status, if I am with you, I will be destined to live a dangerous life. I don’t want to see people like Concubine Lu bleeding again. I just want to live a peaceful and stable life.
You can’t give me a peaceful life, but Ye Qian can. What I like is not Ye Qian, but a warm and stable life.”
As Jiang Shu spoke, she moved in front of Lu Changji, unbuttoned her coat, and pressed herself tightly against him.
Her curvy figure was like a fire, breaking through his defenses with overwhelming force.
Lu Changji's breath was choked, his nerves tense as a string. He hugged Jiang Shu back, lowered his head, and kissed her fiercely.
The taste of green bamboo filled her mouth, and he mercilessly grabbed her sweetness. Jiang Shu was a little short of oxygen, and her brain was blank. She was like a dodder, slowly losing her roots and softening in his arms.
Lu Changji picked up Jiang Shu and carried her horizontally. He strode to the bed and placed Jiang Shu on it.
Jiang Shu was lying on her back, Lu Changji lifted her buttocks high, bent her legs, and entered between them. He leaned over, kissed Jiang Shu while stroking her jade, and struck her on both sides of the gate, waiting for the water to flow, and then penetrated deeply into her.
The previous two times, Jiang Shu was the one who took the initiative. She never knew that some parts of the body could bring her overwhelming pleasure.
The tide receded, and Jiang Shu collapsed powerlessly onto the bed, too tired to even lift her legs.
Lu Changji carried Jiang Shu to the bathroom, cleaned her up, and then carried her back to the bedroom. The person in his arms was breathing steadily, and when he looked down, he saw that she had fallen asleep.
Lu Changji covered Jiang Shu with a quilt, kissed her on the forehead, and turned to walk towards the study.
The extreme pleasure made him feel refreshed and comfortable, but his heart was filled with resentment that could not be relieved.
Lu Changji handed his jade token to Cheng Luan and whispered, "Go to the cabinet and have Yun Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel write a transfer order to transfer Ye Qian to Jinyang and appoint him as the Jinyang Yunpan."
In his heart, he wanted to cut Ye Qian into pieces, but unfortunately, if he really killed Ye Qian, Jiang Shu would never forgive him in her life.
After all, the living cannot compare to the dead.
All he could do was to keep the two of them far apart.
Lu Changying returned to her dormitory, feeling confused and restless.
Lu Changji was a very good brother. He had always been kind to Lu Changying. Lu Changying had never seen him angry. The scene just now made her shudder.
She had promised Ye Shijiang to deliver a message to him. Although she had delivered the letter, it was accidentally discovered by her eldest brother. She didn't know whether her eldest brother would vent his anger on Ye Shijiang.
The more Lu Changying thought about it, the more anxious she became. She felt that she had failed Ye Qian's expectations. She stood up suddenly and walked out the door while instructing the maid, "Ask the coachman to harness the carriage. I want to go to the market to buy some clothes."
Zhao was very flexible in raising her children and was very strict with the rules, but she was never too restrictive with regard to food, clothing and other expenses. Lu Changying often took her maids and guards to go outside the mansion to buy clothes for herself.
The maid didn't think anything of it. She went to the back room to call a carriage. While the driver was harnessing the carriage, she went to the main courtyard to call two maids and four guards. The group went out in a mighty manner.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of Ye's house, Lu Changying asked the guards to guard the gate and went in with the maid.
Lu Changying came from a prominent family and the people he interacted with were all wealthy and powerful families. When he saw the house of an ordinary person for the first time, he couldn't help but take a second look.
The Ye family's house has two entrances. The main courtyard is very clean. There are no luxurious furnishings in the courtyard, but there are some flowers and plants planted.
There is a tall and lush locust tree in the middle of the yard. Under the locust tree is a stone table. Next to the stone table are four stone benches. The weather is cool in autumn, so thick cushions are tied on the stone benches.
At present, a woman in her forties was sitting at a stone table drinking medicine. The woman looked haggard, with dark circles under her eyes, and a look of worry.
She drank two mouthfuls of the medicine and whispered, "I don't know how Shu'er is doing now. She has had a miserable life. She was mistreated by her stepmother since she was young. She has never had a good life. Now she is finally going to marry into our family and enjoy happiness, but she was kidnapped in the street by villains. How will she live her life in the future?"
If it were another family, where a bride was abducted before she even entered the family, the family would probably be disgusted with her for bringing disgrace upon the family. However, Ye's mother had no such thoughts and was only concerned about Jiang Shu's situation.
Ye Qian used a handkerchief to wipe off the medicine stains on the corners of Ye's mother's mouth, and then handed a plate of candied fruit to Ye's mother. Ye's mother was a medicine addict who took medicine all day long. If she didn't eat a few candied fruits, even her tongue would be bitter.
Mother Ye picked up a candied crabapple and put it in her mouth to chew. Although the candied fruit was sweet, it could not suppress the sorrow in her heart.
Mother Ye sighed a few more times, slowly stood up, and wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest. She had been feeling tired these days and even walking was a little difficult.
Ye Qian moved closer to Ye's mother, supported her, deliberately slowed down his pace, and followed her towards the main house.
Lu Changying looked at the backs of the two men, and an indescribable feeling surged in her chest. It was remarkable that Ye Qian dared to break into the Xinyang Marquis Mansion and confront Lu Changji. Seeing how he patiently took care of Ye's mother, Lu Changying felt that he was responsible.
She walked into the courtyard and waited quietly for Ye Qian. After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Qian came out of the main house. Seeing Lu Changying, Ye Qian was slightly surprised. He first asked Lu Changying to sit down, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Ye family is far away from the Xinyang Marquis Mansion. How did you get here?"
The Ye family’s house is built of yellow mud and has poor sound insulation. Any slightly louder sound in the yard will be transmitted into the house.
Lu Changying was afraid of disturbing Mother Ye who was going to rest, so she whispered, "When I was walking out the door with my second sister-in-law's reply, I ran into my eldest brother. I was nervous, and he noticed something, so he intercepted my second sister-in-law's reply to you."
Lu Changying felt more and more ashamed as she spoke. She lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "It's all my fault. I failed Minister Ye's instructions. I'm really ashamed."
Ye Qian frowned, his eyes locked on Lu Changying, and asked anxiously, "Did he embarrass Shu'er?"
Lu Changying shook her head. "Brother sent me out of the courtyard after he found out I had sent a message to you and my second sister-in-law. I don't know what's going on inside the courtyard, but from what I know about him, he won't make things difficult for my second sister-in-law. He likes my second sister-in-law so much, how could he bear to make her angry?"
"As for you..." Lu Changying paused, then continued, "Minister Ye, I know that my elder brother has let you down, but he always keeps his word. Now that he has discovered your private dealings with my second sister-in-law, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to you. Why don't you go out and hide for a while!"
Lu Changying's face was full of worry. Ye Qian knew that she was really thinking about him, but he still shook his head firmly.
He said, "Shu'er is still in Bianjing. I will never abandon her. She and I must advance and retreat together."
Lu Changying stared at Ye Qian in a daze. The man in front of her was thin, but had bones as strong as ice and snow. No wonder her second sister-in-law was determined to marry him.
She didn't waste any more words and said seriously, "Minister Ye, my elder brother is now on guard against me. I can't send you messages anymore. But if you need me in the future, please let me know. I will definitely do my best."
Ye Qian nodded and personally sent Lu Changying to the door. He watched the carriage go far away before returning to the yard.
A disordered breath was running around in her chest. Lu Changying didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt a little expectant, but more of a sour feeling. She didn't feel happy at all.
It was already late when they returned to the Xinyang Marquis Mansion. They saw two maids rushing back and forth, almost bumping into Lu Changying.
Lu Changying stopped someone and scolded him, "Even if there's a sky couch, there's still someone tall enough to hold it up. Why are you so anxious? Where have you learned the rules?"
Things will go smoothly if you take it slow. Rich families pay attention to stability and they hate to make a big fuss with just one move.
The maid froze, saluted Lu Changying, and whispered, "Miss, Aunt Shuang is missing, the Marquis is furious, this servant, this servant..."
Only then did Lu Changying realize that the maid was Hu Lingshuang's personal maid, so it was no wonder that she was uneasy.
She ignored the maid and walked quickly to Hu Lingshuang's Mingyuexuan. It was so quiet in Mingyuexuan that you could hear a pin drop. The door of the flower hall was wide open. Lu Lin was pacing anxiously in the hall like a violent beast.
The Marquis of Xinyang was heavily guarded, yet someone was able to kidnap someone from the mansion without anyone noticing. The mere thought of this frightened Lu Lin, not to mention that Hu Lingshuang was pregnant with his child.
He would never let anything happen to Hu Lingshuang.
When he walked to the tea couch, Lu Lin suddenly caught sight of a piece of gray clothing next to the tea couch. He bent down and picked up the piece of clothing. The piece of cloth was made of fine material and was torn from Cheng Zi's clothes.
Lu Changji had several retainers who often wore Chengzi's clothes. Thinking of this, Lu Lin's expression changed drastically and he rushed towards Canaan Courtyard like a fly.
"Father!" Lu Changying called Lu Lin softly, but Lu Lin hurried away as if he didn't see her.
As night fell, the Xinyang Marquis Mansion was ablaze with lights. Lu Lin rushed to the Canaan Courtyard and anxiously asked Cheng Luan, "Where's Xue Ji? I want to see Xue Ji."
Cheng Luan pointed to the study: "The master is in the study."
Lu Lin pushed open the door of the study and saw Lu Changji sitting on a chair reading a book. Lu Changji's hair was half tied up and draped over his shoulders. He had a handsome face and an elegant and gentle expression, as if he was just a clear-headed scholar.
Lu Lin's fingers trembled, and his voice was a little hoarse. He stared at Lu Changji without blinking and said, "Where did you take Hu Lingshuang? She's pregnant. If you have any complaints, just come to me. Don't embarrass her."
Lu Changji placed the book on the desk, his expression calm and composed. "If my father has any complaints, just direct them at me. Don't try to target Shu'er."
"You, you..." Lu Lin's facial muscles twitched. He looked at Lu Changji in shock. "Jiang Shu is a widow, and your brother's wife. Do you still want to harm your brothers and sisters for her?"
"I did have bad intentions today, but it was also for your future and your reputation. Why did you treat me like this?"
Thinking of his actions during the day, Lu Lin was still frightened. Fortunately, Cheng Luan stopped him and he failed. If he had really killed Jiang Shu, Lu Changji would probably turn the entire Xinyang Marquis Mansion upside down.
Lu Changji narrowed his eyes and looked at Lu Lin, with a biting chill spreading around him. He placed a brocade box in front of Lu Lin.
A faint smell of blood filled his nose. Lu Lin opened the brocade box with trembling hands. Inside was a finger. The finger was white and slender, and the fingertip was covered with a cloisonné enamel armor. He had personally put the armor on Hu Lingshuang.
Lu Lin took a deep breath and took two steps back, looking at Lu Changji as if he were a monster.
Lu Changji whispered, "Shu'er is the apple of my eye, and I won't tolerate any mishaps happening to her.
If father dares to act rashly again, what will be handed to you will not be Mrs. Hu's finger, but your child in Mrs. Hu's belly."
