Chapter 160 Goodbye, Mr. Lu
There was no light in the inner room. Xiaoxi thought there was no one there. She came in and was about to turn on the night light, but she saw a thin figure sitting in front of the window.
She was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't the girl light the lamp?"
As she was about to walk over and open the lampshade, she was about to light the lamp when Jiang Yueyao stopped her in a hurry: "Don't light it."
The voice was clearly filled with tears.
Xiaoxi paused, then put the lampshade back on, and then asked with concern: "What's wrong, girl?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Yueyao wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, her voice thick with nasal sounds, "You go and rest first, I will sleep soon too."
She said as she stood up and walked towards the bed.
Seeing her like this, Xiaoxi didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at her and turned to leave the room.
Jiang Yueyao sat on the edge of the bed. When she heard Xiaoxi's footsteps leaving, the tears that had stopped coming out again.
The pain in her heart was not as heart-wrenching as described in the storybooks, but only a feeling like being pricked by small needles, a fine, dense, and continuous dull pain... At one point, the pain was so severe that she couldn't even straighten her back.
She had thanked herself countless times that after encountering Lu Hengqing's cruelty, she was able to meet Lu Sui. He saved her many times and brought her from Sucheng to Beijing.
He gave her a stable and comfortable place to live. Although he said there would be rent at the beginning, in reality, he never collected it once.
She gave it to him once, but he hit her hard.
"I don't need you for that. Take it and buy some candy for yourself."
Jiang Yueyao was a money-grubber to begin with. Since he didn't want it, she naturally stopped giving him money. Not only that, but Lu Sui even gave her some money every now and then.
In life, he arranged everything for her carefully and never let her worry about anything.
Now, is there anyone in the entire capital who doesn’t know that she is Lu Sui’s?
No!
It was precisely because of this that the two sisters of the Pei family targeted her everywhere, and those who liked Lu Sui openly or secretly mocked her everywhere.
But she didn't care at all.
In her heart, Lu Sui's love and care are above everything else.
As long as he likes her, he doesn't care about anything else.
People live in the secular world, and no matter how good you are, you can't avoid being talked about by others.
If you don't care, everything will be fine.
Jiang Yueyao has always believed that she is different in Lu Sui's heart.
Even Duan Yanzhou once told her...
"You're amazing, little Yaoyao! Even Old Lu, who has a heart of stone, has softened for you."
Shen Baoqing also said so.
"Yaoyao, what a coincidence! You were bitten by a snake, and then Pei Yunzhu fell into a snake's den."
“…”
"I have a strong feeling that your Lord Lu has avenged you."
At that time, Jiang Yueyao was lying on the bed in the summer resort, feeling so happy.
Lu Sui's appreciation for her made her feel as sweet as honey.
Although the two had not yet broken the last piece of window paper and got together at that time, Jiang Yueyao knew that he liked her.
Now, looking back.
Everything is just my own opinion...
Lu Sui never said he liked her!
Never!
So, from the very beginning, everything was just her wishful thinking.
Jiang Yueyao thought of what Shen Baoqing said at the beginning...
"It's popular in Beijing to keep pets, like Persian cats and Pekingese. I play with them when I have nothing to do, just for fun."
"I feel like Lu Sui treats you like a little pet. He keeps you by his side, teasing and hugging you whenever he wants, and then gives you some treats, so you stick to him all day long, and you're happier than anyone else."
Shen Baoqing said this a long time ago.
At that time, she had just returned to Beijing. Every time Lu Sui came, Jiang Yueyao would circle around him excitedly. When she couldn't stand it anymore, she said these words to her.
Perhaps there was some connection between the two, and the emperor had always wanted to arrange a marriage between them.
This caused Shen Baoqing to look down on Lu Sui.
Jiang Yueyao just listened and didn't take it seriously at all.
But now that I think about it, Shen Baoqing was right.
The truth was told to her from the beginning, but she didn't listen.
Now that I have fallen into such a state, I deserve it.
Jiang Yueyao tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.
I slept for a while at dawn, but was awakened by a nightmare again.
In the dream, Lu Hengqing stabbed her into a sieve with a knife, while Lu Sui stood by and watched coldly. No matter how she cried for help, he remained unmoved.
When I woke up, my heart was still aching.
She lay in bed for a while and then got up.
It's already daybreak.
After washing up, Xiaoxi came in with breakfast.
Jiang Yueyao asked her, "Is Lord Lu at home?"
"The master didn't go out today."
"good."
After eating a few simple breakfast, Jiang Yueyao went to Mingyin Hall.
Lu Sui was half leaning against the head of the bed while Qing Yi was changing his dressing.
Jiang Yueyao stood quietly by the side without saying a word.
Lu Sui closed his eyes until the dressing was changed and Qing Yi wrapped gauze around him, then he opened his eyes.
Without even looking at Jiang Yueyao, he stood up and was about to take the clothes placed aside, but Jiang Yueyao took the clothes before him.
She walked to the bedside, without even looking at him, and let him put on the black undergarment.
Lu Sui looked up at her, said nothing, stood up and let her do what she wanted.
Jiang Yueyao moved very quickly and did not touch his wound. Her eyes were below his neck the whole time and she did not look up at him.
It was not until she put on his robe that she spoke while tying the front of his robe.
"Sir, your wound hasn't healed yet, so don't move too much. You can ask Qingshu to come in and help you with dressing."
"I don't understand much about court affairs, but I also feel that nothing is more important than one's own health."
There was a huge difference in height between them, and she only reached his shoulders.
After fastening the lapel, she took the belt.
Bending slightly, she passed the hand holding the belt through his waist, their bodies pressed together, both of them scented with each other.
Jiang Yueyao's nose felt sore.
She tried her best to suppress her emotions and helped him tie his belt.
Then he took the robe and put it on him.
After everything is done.
She took a step back and then looked up at Lu Sui.
He kept looking at her, his eyes dark and deep. The man's face became thinner and more angular due to the injury.
Jiang Yueyao pulled the corners of her lips and curved her eyebrows.
"My lord, I'm leaving now. Qingqing is still waiting for me."
"Although I managed to coax her into eating last night, I feel like she's still not in a very good mood."
"Wanhelou has a new manager, and it seems they don't need me anymore..."
"Then can I stay with Qingqing for a while longer?"
Lu Sui didn't say anything.
He looked at her, his brows furrowed and his lips pursed.
As if he was enduring something.
Jiang Yueyao seemed to have realized something.
He hurriedly asked, "Do you have anything else to do? Then I'll leave first."
She said this and turned to go out.
After taking two steps, he stopped again.
He didn't look back, looking relaxed.
"I live in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. It's very safe. I won't bring Xiaoxi with me."
Lu Sui still didn't say anything.
Jiang Yueyao waited for a moment but got no response.
Feeling disheartened.
She raised her hand and waved gently at him with her back to him.
"Goodbye, Lord Lu!"
