Chapter 148: Always One Heart
From the first glimpse he had taken earlier, the Fourth Prince knew that Jiang Yueyao was pretty.
He had never expected that the light plum-colored riding clothes she wore today would actually make her skin look as white and tender as fat. Her face, three times more beautiful than a flower, was now slightly flushed, her fair forehead was sweating, and her hair was scattered. She was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her...
Lu Sui waited for a while but saw no movement.
I couldn't help but look up at the Fourth Prince.
Seeing that he was staring at Jiang Yueyao behind him, her face suddenly became gloomy.
He took a step forward, and his deep voice suddenly turned cold.
"Fourth Prince?"
Perhaps it was because his voice was so cold that the Fourth Prince came back to his senses. He retracted his gaze, met Lu Sui's frowning eyes, and then smiled.
"No need to be so polite, Master."
Lu Sui stood up and took a step back. Jiang Yueyao took the opportunity to stand behind him, lowering her head and not daring to speak.
She knew that the extremely uncomfortable gaze that had just fallen on her came from the Fourth Prince.
He had looked at her with that indescribable look before at the Summer Resort... Thinking back on it now, he still gets goosebumps all over his body.
Compared to the deceased crown prince whom he had met once, the fourth prince in front of him was like a poisonous snake, slippery and disgusting.
She wanted to walk away quickly, but the Fourth Prince spoke.
"What a coincidence today! I was just about to talk to the Master about something. Shall we get off our horses and take a walk together?"
As he spoke, he dismounted.
No matter how high Lu Sui's official position was, he was still a subject.
He couldn't refuse, so he handed Chang Ye to Qing Xuan who was following him, and followed the Fourth Prince to the side.
Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Yueyao and whispered, "It's okay, just do as you please."
Jiang Yueyao nodded and took Laicai aside.
After walking a few steps, she heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from behind. She turned around and saw Pei Yunjin.
Pei Yunjin sat on his horse, looked at her intently for a while, then suddenly dismounted and walked towards her.
Watching her approach, Jiang Yueyao had only one thought in her mind: she has bad intentions!
She was about to run away when the other party spoke first.
"Miss Jiang."
Jiang Yueyao sighed helplessly in her heart, then put on a smile and went to meet him.
"Miss Pei, what a coincidence."
Pei Yunjin stopped in front of her, his eyes falling on her little face that was white with a rosy glow and so tender that water could be squeezed out of it. He gritted his teeth secretly and smiled.
"What a coincidence! Isn't Wanhe Tower busy today? Miss Jiang actually has time to come out and ride a horse."
"Busy." Jiang Yueyao simply threw away the reins and let Qingxuan lead Laicai to the side to eat grass and drink water.
He then walked towards the shade of a tree.
Pei Yunjin followed behind.
She turned around and smiled.
"No matter how busy I am, I still need to rest. Besides, the guys in the store are very capable. I can stay out for as long as I want."
Pei Yunjin also smiled.
"Then being a shopkeeper is really easy for you!"
It's so sarcastic and makes people uncomfortable just listening to it.
But Jiang Yueyao didn't care at all.
He nodded in agreement.
"Yes, it's easy and I get some Moon Silver. Oh, how come I got such a good thing?"
Pei Yunjin was choked by her words and couldn't say a word for a long time.
In the end, he just laughed lightly.
"That's why everyone says that Miss Jiang from Wanhe Tower is lucky to have met Lord Lu. This kind of blessing is really enviable."
"Really?" Jiang Yueyao was quite curious. "Everyone says that? Who? Who says that about me behind my back?"
“…”
Pei Yunjin took a deep breath and could hardly maintain the smile on his face.
She was too lazy to maintain her friendliness in front of others.
Looking at Jiang Yueyao, he smiled coldly: "The emperor wants to grant marriage to Lord Lu and Miss Shen. You must know about this, right?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"You and Miss Shen have always had a deep relationship, but you've been so close to Lord Lu behind her back. Does Miss Shen know about this?" She paused, then continued, "What do you think would happen if she knew you were two-faced, saying one thing to her face and another behind her back?"
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyebrows.
"You have two different faces in front of people and behind their backs?" She laughed. "Miss Pei, are you talking about yourself?"
"You..." Pei Yunjin's face darkened. "Jiang Yueyao, you are of low status, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me?"
"Will you let me go if I don't act so presumptuous?" Jiang Yueyao asked her seriously, "If you could, then you wouldn't have targeted me from the beginning!"
"Pei Yunjin, I have no grudge against you, yet you've inexplicably targeted me and tried to harm me time and time again." She paused here, perhaps a little excited, her face flushed. "So, whether I'm presumptuous or not, you won't let me go. So why not just be presumptuous? I want to see what you can do to me."
"you……"
Perhaps because she had exposed his true colors, Pei Yunjin could no longer maintain his usual aloofness.
Her face twisted for a moment and she lowered her voice.
"You don't really think Lu Sui likes you, do you?"
Jiang Yueyao smiled lightly, deliberately angering her: "I like you, Master Lu likes me so much. He misses me so much if he doesn't see me for a day."
"Jiang Yueyao, you are such a bitch!" Pei Yunjin was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"Yes, I am lowly and you are noble. You are a noble lady, but you keep bothering me, a person of low status, all day long. It's conceivable that you are just as lowly as hell!"
"You..." Pei Yunjin raised his hand to hit her,
But Jiang Yueyao grabbed her wrist.
She stared at her and lowered her voice.
"Miss Pei, I heard your sister Pei Yunzhu is paralyzed?"
Pei Yunjin, who was originally full of anger, changed his expression when he heard this, and then he withdrew his hand.
She stared at Jiang Yueyao.
"What does it have to do with you? Are you just laughing at me?"
"Of course not. I'm not like some people who pretend to be innocent in front of others but are actually vicious and venomous behind their backs." She glanced at Pei Yujin indifferently, and seeing her extremely unhappy expression, she couldn't help but add, "But I did hear about something strange recently. I wonder if you've heard about it?"
"Hmph!" Pei Yunjin turned his face away with a gloomy look.
"It's like this: there were two sisters. The elder sister had always protected her since they were little and treated her very well. But one day, the younger sister was injured and her legs became paralyzed. Since then, the elder sister has never visited her again."
Jiang Yueyao saw that Pei Yunjin's hands holding the reins began to tremble.
I couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
"I heard that the younger sister lies in bed day and night cursing her older sister, cursing her to choke to death while eating, or to be hit by a carriage when she goes out..."
"Sisters suddenly turned against each other."
"Miss Pei, do you know why?"
Pei Yunjin suddenly turned around and glared at her fiercely, but soon smiled again.
"It's just a rumor, why did Miss Jiang take it so seriously?"
"Besides, if you ask me, who else can I ask?"
"Anyway, my sister and I have had a good relationship since we were young. Even though her leg is injured now, my father has sent people to visit famous doctors. I believe that it won't be long before my sister will be able to stand up again."
"That's good." Jiang Yueyao smiled gently, "Then I wish you two a deep sisterly love and eternal unity."
