Chapter 17 Good morning, Mr. Lu
Lu Sui was still wearing the same dark brocade robe he wore yesterday.
There was a cold expression on that angular face.
Qingshu followed him and said, "You haven't slept all night. The hot water is ready. You can take a shower and change clothes first. It's still early for lunch. Why don't you take a nap first?"
Lu Sui didn't say anything. He looked up at Jiang Yueyao who was standing at the stairs.
Unlike last night's miserable appearance, she now looks like a normal person.
She wore a light green spring shirt and a cherry red long skirt. The most vulgar red and green combination actually made her look quite otherworldly.
Maybe because he had enough sleep, he felt full of energy. Looking at his eyes, they were lively and bright again.
Seeing him looking at her, Jiang Yueyao grinned and greeted him happily in a crisp voice.
"Good morning, Lord Lu."
Lu Sui's voice was light.
"It's getting late. If you sleep a little longer, it will be dark."
He went up to the second floor.
Jiang Yueyao was not angry at all and followed him with a smile.
"Did you not sleep all night last night? I heard from Aunt Xiang that you arrested all the bandits."
"Oh, you're amazing! I've been here all the way and I've heard that bear brother is notorious. He's been a scourge to everyone around here, but I never thought the post station would be in collusion with them."
"You have eliminated this evil for the people this time. The people of Chizhou will be grateful to you."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Yueyao continued to flatter him.
"Not only are you good-looking, but you also have a kind heart. It is truly the greatest blessing for us common people to have an official like you who loves the people like your own children in our Daye Dynasty..."
Lu Sui in front suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Yueyao who was following closely behind him.
"You're so noisy!"
“…”
"It's giving me a headache!"
“…”
Hey, hey, hey, big brother, am I flattering you?
Didn't you hear any flattery or something?
It's really like playing the lute to a cow.
It's a waste of effort.
Lu Sui ignored her resentful look, turned around, pushed the door open, and walked straight into the room.
Jiang Yueyao also wanted to go in, but was politely stopped by Qingshu.
"The master needs to take a shower and change clothes. Miss, would you please go downstairs and play with yourself for a while?"
"Qingshu."
"Hey, you say."
"Am I really that noisy?" Jiang Yueyao asked humbly, "What I said just now came from the bottom of my heart..."
"Could it be that your master doesn't like to hear nice words?"
Qingshu chuckled.
"What the master wants to hear most is the truth. Miss, if you speak more from the heart, perhaps the master will like it."
“…”
All right.
Her flattery skills were so low-level in front of this group of cunning people that they were unbearable to watch.
Jiang Yueyao turned around and went downstairs to find Sulan in the kitchen in the backyard.
Sulan was leading a few people to prepare lunch.
When she saw Jiang Yueyao come in, she first took a look at the left side of her face where she was beaten last night. Seeing that the swelling had subsided a lot, she then asked about the injuries on her neck and ankles.
Jiang Yueyao turned around in front of her.
"You look much better now. You can walk easily. It's not a problem."
Sulan felt relieved and scooped a bowl of chicken soup for her, secretly putting a chicken leg in it.
"Go ahead and eat first, we'll have lunch soon."
Jiang Yueyao held the bowl and sat at a small table nearby. She took a sip of soup and a bite of meat. After finishing her meal, she dragged her injured left foot and walked out slowly.
The entire post station was filled with officers and soldiers. There were a few guests staying at the post station sitting in the lobby. They gathered together and talked about what happened last night.
Jiang Yueyao found a corner and sat down.
She had personally experienced what happened last night and almost died in it. They were all bad memories and she didn't want to hear more about them.
Just after sitting down for a while, a group of people came in from outside.
Surrounded by the crowd was a tall young woman in a brocade dress, with her hair in a flowing bun and jeweled tassels in her hair, looking very noble and elegant.
Behind her followed a group of maids and old women.
As these people came in, the originally empty lobby suddenly became lively.
As soon as the woman came in, she looked around, as if she was looking for someone?
The maidservants beside them hurriedly cleaned a table and chairs and invited the woman to sit down.
The young woman glanced at the chair and frowned slightly in disgust.
"I won't sit down. You ask someone to find out which room Lord Lu lives in. I'll go find him directly."
Jiang Yueyao was just looking around out of boredom.
When he suddenly heard the words "Lord Lu", his ears immediately pricked up.
Is this girl here to see Lu Sui?
Judging from the other party's tone and expression, the two should be old acquaintances.
But this place is still hundreds of kilometers away from the capital, and the girl's accent doesn't sound like someone from the capital. Jiang Yueyao suddenly became curious - are the two of them related?
The people around the woman went out to ask around.
"Miss, no one has seen Lord Lu. Could it be that he has left Chizhou and returned to the capital?"
"Impossible!" The woman frowned. "Daddy said Lord Lu didn't leave, so of course he didn't leave. Go ask around..."
She turned her gaze and met Jiang Yueyao's interested eyes.
The woman's face darkened, looking somewhat displeased.
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything." Jiang Yueyao said innocently, "I was just looking around."
The other person walked up to her, acting arrogantly.
"Have you been at the post station?"
Jiang Yueyao nodded.
"Then have you ever met Lord Lu from the capital?"
"Yes."
"Where is he?" The other person's eyes lit up. "Which room does he live in?"
Jiang Yueyao was curious.
"What's your relationship with Lord Lu? From your tone, it seems like you're quite familiar with him."
The other party smiled lightly but said nothing.
The maidservant beside her spoke at the right time.
"My daughter is of noble birth, and her father is the prefect of Chizhou. Yesterday, the master came to see Lord Lu, and the two chatted all night. It's natural that they are very familiar with each other."
"Miss, thinking of Lord Lu's hard work in suppressing bandits, made this soup herself this morning and brought it here for you to try..."
"Why are you talking so much?" The woman glared at the maid, then looked at Jiang Yueyao with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "What can she understand?"
Jiang Yueyao was not annoyed at all.
She stood up with a smile and bowed slightly to the other person.
"It turns out to be Miss Chi. I'm so sorry."
The other person glanced at her sideways, his eyes moving around her face.
A little unhappy.
"The bandits have been eliminated. Why are you still staying here instead of leaving immediately?"
"I……"
"Heh..." Without waiting for Jiang Yueyao to explain, the other party sneered, "Could it be that seeing Lord Lu's noble status, you have some inappropriate thoughts?"
“…”
"I've seen a lot of people like you. You just want to hook up with this person and that person just because you have some looks. You are so shameless."
Jiang Yueyao thought, people should go out more often.
If you take a long trip, you will see all kinds of monsters, snakes, ghosts and gods.
For example, the one in front of me, when the two met for the first time, she did nothing, but was labeled shameless by the other party.
What good girl can stand this?
Jiang Yueyao's expression changed immediately.
"Miss Chi, did you eat shit this morning? Why does your mouth stink so bad the moment you open your mouth?"
