Chapter 103 Sir, this is an apology to me
As soon as Bai Shaochuan finished speaking, everyone in front of him looked at Jiang Yueyao at the same time.
Jiang Yueyao, who was the focus of special attention, didn't look at anyone and only focused on the account book in her hand.
Duan Yanzhou looked at her and said, "The Bai family has very strict rules. If you return late, you will definitely be punished."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shaochuan took over.
"It's okay. Yaoyao went home yesterday, and my father repeatedly told me to take extra care of her if I run into her outside."
Duan Yanzhou looked surprised.
"Xiao Yaoyao, do you know Lord Bai?"
"I know her," Jiang Yueyao wrote down the last number with a pen and said as she closed the account book, "Didn't Lord Duan know this a long time ago? Chen Yu is Chen Baoqing, and Baoqing is Mr. Bai's cousin. I've been to the Grand Tutor's Mansion several times, and the Bai family treated me very well."
As she spoke, she locked the drawer, turned around and walked out from the counter, not looking at anyone but Bai Shaochuan.
"Wait for me, I'll go call Sister Lan."
Bai Shaochuan nodded slightly: "Okay, no rush."
Jiang Yueyao walked towards the kitchen. When she passed by Lu Sui, his arm was suddenly grabbed by her. Before Jiang Yueyao could come to her senses, he dragged her out.
This scene happened too suddenly.
No one in the hall came to their senses.
Just as he was about to walk out the door, Bai Shaochuan rushed forward and blocked Lu Sui's way.
"Master Lu, what are you doing?"
Lu Sui ignored him, walked around him, and strode out of Wanhe Tower with Jiang Yueyao in his hand.
At this moment, Jiang Yueyao, who had been confused, finally came to her senses.
She struggled, trying to pull her arm out of his hand, but Lu Sui held it very tightly. The more she struggled, the stronger his grip became.
Jiang Yueyao's face turned pale from the pain.
"Let me go!"
Lu Sui turned a deaf ear and continued to pull her forward.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao being dragged by him like this, Bai Shaochuan frowned and was about to catch up, but Duan Yanzhou grabbed his neck.
"Master Bai, you don't know that Yaoyao was brought to the capital by Lu Sui. The relationship between the two is extraordinary. It's best for you not to get involved."
Bai Shaochuan pushed him away.
Righteous words.
"No matter how good your relationship is, you can't treat a girl like this. Didn't Lord Duan see Miss Yaoyao being pulled by Lord Lu and was about to cry?"
As he said this, he strode after him, but was stopped by Duan Yanzhou again.
"Why are you so stubborn? Can Lu Sui bully her?"
"Besides, if you just rush in like this and make Lord Lu angry, have you thought about the consequences?" Duan Yanzhou had no choice but to use his power to pressure others.
But Bai Shaochuan happened to be born in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and had been at the top of power since he was young.
The children of the Bai family are gentle and polite outside, but they are never afraid of trouble.
Hearing this, she just smiled lightly and wanted to push Duan Yanzhou away, but found that he was pressing her down tightly.
His face changed.
"What is Lord Duan going to do?"
"I'm sorry, but for my friend's happiness, I can only sacrifice myself."
Bai Shaochuan was so angry that his cheeks turned red.
He watched Jiang Yueyao being pushed onto the carriage by Lu Sui, and then the carriage drove away and gradually disappeared.
Duan Yanzhou let go of Bai Shaochuan only after the carriage disappeared.
He raised his eyebrows and laughed while straightening his wrinkled robe.
"Don't let the old master cause trouble for me. It's just a small matter. Lord Bai won't hold a grudge like that, right?"
Bai Shaochuan took a deep breath, too lazy to look at him, and hurried away.
He rode his horse towards Chunmen Lane, but when he reached the entrance of the lane, he still didn't see the Lu family carriage.
After waiting at the entrance of the alley for a long time, Sulan came back, but Jiang Yueyao was still nowhere to be seen.
Su Lan advised him: "Sir, please go back first. Lord Lu will not do anything to Yaoyao."
Her words made Bai Shaochuan feel heavy in his heart.
But he said nothing, turned and rode away.
When I returned home, I happened to meet Bai Jinguang coming out of the study.
"You're back now after having dinner with your colleagues?"
"yes."
Seeing that his face looked a little bad, Bai Jinguang asked casually: "What's wrong? Did you encounter anything?"
Bai Shaochuan thought about it and looked up at his father.
"Father, I remember the Emperor wanted to arrange a marriage between my cousin and Lord Lu. Why did it end up in vain?"
Bai Jinguang sighed.
"Why else? Both of them are unwilling."
"Lu Sui doesn't want to either?"
As the two of them walked towards the backyard, Bai Jinguang spoke.
"When Lu Sui was twelve years old, the then abbot of Xiangguo Temple read his fortune. He said he was born with the star of loneliness, a natural loneliness, and a connection with Buddhism. He was born with few relatives, and if he forced himself to do anything, he would hurt his closest relatives."
Bai Shaochuan suddenly fell silent, and the gloom between his brows also dissipated a lot.
"How can you believe such words?"
"The Lu family certainly didn't believe it at the time. Lu Sui had been incredibly intelligent since childhood. He became the top scholar at the age of fourteen and entered the Imperial Academy. His career was bright and promising. But when he was eighteen, his mother, Madam Lu, suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma without any signs of illness."
"The Lu family consulted many famous doctors, but none of them could diagnose the cause of the disease."
"The then-abbot of Xiangguo Temple, Master Jisheng, took the initiative to come to the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. Without saying a word, he took Lu Sui to Xiangguo Temple to stay for three days."
"Three days later, the old lady regained consciousness, and there was nothing unusual about her body."
"From then on, Lu Sui moved out of the Duke of Ying's mansion and lived in his private residence."
"It wasn't until three years ago that he was appointed as the Imperial Tutor to the Crown Prince and the Emperor granted him the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. He then moved back to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion from his private residence, but he still lives alone."
"I heard that he returns to his old house once every two weeks, has a meal with his family, and then leaves."
Bai Jinguang sighed softly, "The emperor saw that he was alone and helpless, so he wanted to find him a wife."
"It was during the New Year's Palace Banquet, and your uncle returned to the capital from Mobei. The Emperor brought up this matter on a whim."
"At that time, Lu Sui refused. Your uncle also didn't agree."
"But the Emperor still hasn't given up, so the marriage is still on hold..."
After he finished speaking, he asked Bai Shaochuan.
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?"
Bai Shaochuan shook his head: "It's just that I happened to run into Lord Lu at Wanhe Tower today, and I remembered this matter."
Bai Jinguang didn't think much about it. The two chatted for a few more words and then went back to their respective yards to rest.
…
The jewelry store in the dead of night - the entrance is inlaid with gold and jade.
A carriage was parked there steadily.
Inside the carriage, Jiang Yueyao turned her face away, looking very angry, as if she didn't even want to look at the man sitting opposite her.
Lu Sui frowned and glanced at the row of clear teeth marks on the back of his hand.
I couldn't help but sneer.
"Jiang Yueyao, are you born in the Year of the Dog?"
"Yes, I belong to you!" Jiang Yueyao immediately retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
Lu Sui raised his eyes, his deep gaze fell on her puffed-up little face, and he took a deep breath.
When he spoke again, his cold tone softened a bit.
"Last time, it was because of the way I spoke that was inappropriate. It's understandable that you're angry and ignoring me."
Jiang Yueyao opened her eyes wide in shock.
Looking at him in disbelief.
"Master Taifu, are you apologizing to me?"
"Why not?" Lu Sui looked at her. "If it's wrong, it's wrong. There's nothing wrong with that."
Jiang Yueyao, who originally had a stern face, rolled her eyes slightly.
"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you apologize." She stretched out her fair wrist towards him and said, "Look for yourself, it's all blue."
Her skin is translucent white.
He did use some strength just now...
Looking at the bruise on her wrist, Lu Sui lifted the curtain and looked back at her.
"There are a lot of new gold and jade designs coming out today. Want to go down and take a look?"
