Chapter 108 You Will Regret It
Jiang Yueyao followed Lu Sui into the carriage.
Lu Hengqing stood under a tree across the street with a gloomy face, his hands hanging at his sides slowly clenched.
He stared at the departing carriage for a long time, and suddenly a nearly twisted smile appeared on his face.
"My own third uncle, a dignified first-rank imperial tutor, has so many noble ladies in the capital, but he insists on snatching a woman from me?!"
"Jiang Yueyao, you will regret it!"
…
Jiang Yueyao followed Lu Sui to the "Little Fish Restaurant" where they had been last time.
Due to the hot weather, there are not many customers coming here to eat.
The backyard is quiet, with ice buckets placed in the four corners of the pavilion, curtains hanging lightly, and the fish pot is cooking slowly, with a delicious and fragrant taste.
Lu Sui served Jiang Yueyao a bowl of soup. She took it and took a sip slowly.
"fresh!"
“Delicious!”
Lu Sui glanced at her and scooped some soup for himself as he said, "The Emperor is going to the Summer Palace in a few days. I'll be accompanying him. Do you want to go with us?"
"Me?" Jiang Yueyao was stunned. "Can I go too?"
"Well, if you want to go, you can pretend to be my maid."
Jiang Yueyao was immediately moved, but...
"If I go, what will happen to Wanhe Tower?"
"Without you, Wanhelou will stop doing business?" Lu Sui picked up the spoon and took a sip of the fish soup slowly. "I will send someone to take care of the store, so you don't have to worry."
After he said that, Jiang Yueyao felt relieved.
She had heard of the royal summer resort.
I heard that the Yulong Mountains are beautiful, with endless grasslands, rolling mountains, clear rivers, and endless game.
Jiang Yueyao suddenly became excited.
"When do we leave?"
"Six days later."
"So what do I need to bring?"
"Your daily necessities, I'll have someone prepare the rest." Lu Sui picked up a piece of fish for her with a serving chopstick. "Can you ride a horse?"
"Yes." Jiang Yueyao said with a little pride, "My mother can ride a horse. When I was a child, she often took me horseback riding. Gradually, I learned how to ride too."
"But since I grew up, she no longer lets me ride."
"They always say a girl should look like a girl..."
Thinking of her mother, Jiang Yueyao felt a little sad.
Her mother hoped that she would become a quiet girl, embroidering or reading in her spare time, but she had been restless since she was young, and was even more naughty than boys.
As she grew up, especially after her mother passed away, her temperament became much calmer.
Lu Sui saw her sadness.
Change the subject lightly.
"Have you got any riding clothes?"
Jiang Yueyao shook her head gently: "No."
Then he added, "I'll go buy some cloth tomorrow and ask Aunt Chun to make me a suit. It should still be in time."
"One set might not be enough, and it might be too late to make one now."
"Tomorrow morning, I'll take you to the clothing store and buy you a few sets."
"Sir, will you take a day off tomorrow?"
"Well, the Emperor, considering my hard work on my last business trip, gave me an extra day off."
"That's great." Jiang Yueyao was in a very good mood.
She took the serving chopsticks and diligently picked up several pieces of fish for Lu Sui, looking at him with a smile: "Sir, please eat more."
Lu Sui looked at her, smiled, and said nothing.
It was already late when we came out of "Xiaoyuzhuang".
Lu Sui sent Jiang Yueyao back to Chunmen Lane and then returned to the Taifu Mansion.
Qingfeng followed behind him, lowering his voice: "As soon as you and the young lady left Wanhe Tower, the Third Young Master went to Linjiangxian in the back street."
"I've inquired and found out that the Fourth Prince is meeting friends there today."
Lu Sui did not stop and strode towards the yard where he lived.
He exuded a cold and solemn aura, his thin lips tightly pursed, and he said nothing.
Qingfeng followed him and continued speaking.
"Ever since the Crown Prince was placed under house arrest, the Fourth Prince has been wanting to meet you privately, but you've been putting it off. Now that the Third Young Master has taken the initiative to approach the Fourth Prince, will he mistakenly think..."
"That's their business, it has nothing to do with me."
Lu Sui said coldly, "Find someone to spread the news that I don't like the Third Young Master. I want to see if the Fourth Prince will even give him a second glance."
Qingfeng nodded: "Yes, I will do it right away."
…
It was already very late when Lu Hengqing returned home.
The light in the second room was still on. Second Madam Wang was leaning on a soft pillow by the window, fanning herself gently as she asked the maid beside her, "Has Qing'er not returned yet?"
The old woman replied: "No."
"Madam, if you are tired, please go to sleep first. I will wait for you in the yard."
"No need." Wang moved her body and sighed softly, "If I don't wait for him, he will think too much."
"When this child was first found, I looked at him and always thought he was perfect in every way. He was outstanding and knowledgeable. He also earned me a lot of face when I was away from home. Everyone who saw me would praise him." She paused. "I thought this was God's compensation for me, but who knew he had such a terrible side."
Wang couldn't help but think of the little girl named Jiang again.
She told him word for word everything that her Qing'er had deliberately hidden.
Wang was unwilling to believe it.
But the marriage certificate was right there, how could she not believe it?
It turns out...it turns out that the son she lost and found was actually a heartless person!
Since then, Lu Hengqing has been less respectful to her than before.
In the past, he would come to pay his respects to her every day, but now, he only comes once every two or three days, and leaves as soon as he arrives, not wanting to drink even a sip more.
Wang felt both distressed and somewhat disappointed with him.
Disappointed with his character.
I feel sorry for the suffering he endured during those years.
All in all, it was all her fault.
If she hadn't taken him out during the Lantern Festival fifteen years ago, he wouldn't have been lost.
Things wouldn't have come to this.
It's all her fault!
After waiting for a while, a young maid came in hurriedly.
"The Third Young Master has returned."
After hearing this, Wang said hurriedly, "Quick, bring the warm pear water from the kitchen. I heard he's been coughing a bit these past few days."
“But…” the maid stammered.
Seeing her like this, Wang frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes." The other party said hurriedly, "The Third Young Master returned to his own courtyard and did not come to you."
When Wang heard this, her face was filled with unconcealable disappointment.
But things soon returned to normal.
"Then send it to him now and tell him to drink it while it's hot."
"yes."
…
Lu Hengqing is in a good mood today.
He had just come out of the house after bathing when Changgui, the new servant who had come to serve him, said, "Cuizhu from the Madam's courtyard has come and brought her some pear juice that she had personally prepared."
Lu Hengqing didn't even raise his eyelids and had no intention of drinking.
But he suddenly thought of something and spoke again.
"Let her in."
Cuizhu walked in with a tray.
She put the tray aside, reached out to pick up the cup of pear juice, looked at Lu Hengqing, and said in a delicate voice: "Sir, Madam made this herself, please try it."
Lu Hengqing was happy tonight and drank a lot of wine.
My body is feeling hot right now.
When he met her seductive glance, his body reacted immediately.
He glanced at Changgui, who was a smart man and immediately retreated and closed the door.
The moment the door closed, a cry was heard from inside the room.
"Oh, sir, what are you doing..."
