Chapter 190 It Has to Be Her
Jiang Yueyao turned around and looked at him.
"What does Lord Lu mean?"
"On your way to the capital, you encountered bandits in Chizhou. After I rescued you, you swear to the heavens that you would always follow me, even if it meant being my slave or servant. You wholeheartedly wanted to repay me for saving your life."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Yueyao, whose eyes widened involuntarily, and continued.
"You also said that you would dedicate your wholehearted heart to me alone in this life!"
As he said this, he sighed softly.
"The oath is still ringing in my ears, but the person who made the oath now doesn't even want to see me."
It's freezing outside.
But Jiang Yueyao felt her cheeks slowly getting hot.
She looked away uncomfortably.
right!
Yes, she said these words.
At that time, she was assassinated and encountered bandits, and her life was in danger.
Under the circumstances at that time, she would be willing to be his dog, let alone his slave.
But now...it's naturally different.
After a long while, he finally managed to utter a word.
"Of course I want to repay Lord Lu for saving my life."
She retracted her gaze and met his deep black eyes, saying seriously, "Just tell me what you want."
Lu Sui looked at her.
He curled his lips and said, "Now that my status is different, I feel more confident when I speak."
"Whatever I want, you can give it to me?"
Jiang Yueyao sneered: "You wish, except for gold and silver, nothing else is negotiable."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sui turned and went to the study.
The low voice was filled with an indescribable desolation.
"In that case, Miss Jiang, please go back."
“…”
Jiang Yueyao, who had been arguing with him with a stern face just a moment ago, was now dumbfounded.
This person...she didn't do anything...she didn't do anything, just said a few words.
no!
What does he mean now?
She looked blankly at Qingshu, who was standing beside her. Qingshu quickly turned his head away and sighed heavily, "My Lord is just miserable. What's the point of being the Regent now? This huge Regent's Palace doesn't even have a mistress."
"Alas, every time there's a festival or a holiday, other people's homes are bustling with activity, but my grandfather is all alone..."
Jiang Yueyao pulled Sulan away.
She couldn't bear to listen any longer.
She couldn't understand Lu Sui, but Qingshu was a man with so many clever ideas, how could she not understand him?
Exaggeration!
It's so fake!
Whether it was the Dragon Boat Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival, every time there was a festival, didn’t Lu Sui return to the Shen family’s old house and celebrate it happily with his family?
Why are you pretending to be pitiful?
After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, Jiang Yueyao was still angry.
Su Lan looked at her and whispered, "Lord Lu asked me to come over. Actually, he was asking me why I suddenly stopped working at Wanhe Tower?"
Jiang Yueyao was a little surprised.
"That's all you're asking?"
"Yeah." Su Lan nodded. "I haven't had time to ask anyone else, and you're here."
She added, "This matter is also my fault. I didn't explain it clearly to your Aunt Chun, which made her worry and she ran to find you."
Jiang Yueyao leaned back slightly, against the wall of the car, and said nothing more.
Seeing her like this, Sulan stopped talking.
The carriage stopped at Chunmen Lane. Jiang Yueyao sent Sulan back. On the way back to the Shen family, her mind was full of the image of Lu Sui turning around and entering the study...
The regent is the most powerful person, second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
She could actually see a hint of grievance in him.
What is he aggrieved about?
It was clearly his hand that was released first.
When she thought of the grievances she had suffered in the past two months and the tears she had secretly shed in the middle of the night, Jiang Yueyao's softened heart hardened again.
What happened to him had nothing to do with her from then on.
A moment later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
As soon as Jiang Yueyao got off the carriage, she saw Shen Huaishan standing not far away.
Seeing her come back, Shen Huaishan immediately came over: "How is your sister Lan? Is she okay?"
"It's okay." Jiang Yueyao looked at him, "Dad, did you come out specially to wait for me?"
"If not you, who else can I wait for? In the whole mansion, besides your mother, you are the only one who has the dignity to do this." Shen Huaishan raised his hand to gather her fox fur cloak. "Are you cold? Why don't you take a hand warmer?"
Jiang Yueyao reached out, gently hooked his arm, and spoke in a soft voice.
"My daughter is not cold, her hands are warm."
The two of them walked towards the mansion while talking.
The moment Shen Huaishan stepped through the gate, he suddenly turned around and glanced across the street.
In the dark shadows, a carriage was parked.
No need to think, you know who it belongs to.
He withdrew his gaze, sneered silently, and then looked at Jiang Yueyao who was unaware of what was happening beside him.
"From now on, no matter where you go, you must tell me first. If I'm not at home, you must also tell your mother."
Jiang Yueyao nodded.
"I was too anxious today and didn't have time to tell you. I'll remember it next time."
Shen Huaishan nodded.
Then he said again.
"Well, I will pick a female guard for you from the Dark Guard Battalion tomorrow. I will have her stay with Amber as your personal maid."
"Well, thank you, Daddy."
"Xiao Qi, don't blame Daddy for being nosy. There are so many bad guys out there. Who wouldn't like a pretty girl like you, innocent and kind? If you meet a bad man, especially one with a lot of tricks, you won't be able to escape."
“…”
Jiang Yueyao always felt that her father had hidden meaning in his words.
----
In the dark night, in the carriage parked across the street from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Qingshu said to Qingxuan angrily.
"What does Duke Shen mean by this?"
"What bad man? Where does the bad man come from?"
"You're speaking so loudly, are you afraid that we can't hear you?"
Qingxuan glanced at the closed car curtains and winked at Qingshu.
Qingshu finally came to his senses and hurriedly apologized to the people in the carriage.
"Master, please don't be angry. That's not what I meant..."
Inside the carriage, Lu Sui lowered the raised curtains and cast his deep gaze on the father and daughter who were walking into the house together. There was no expression on his angular face.
After the other party entered the house and his figure completely disappeared, he lowered the curtain, leaned back, leaned on the soft pillow and closed his eyes to rest.
Worried that it would be unsafe for her to go back after dark, he followed her secretly all the way.
In the end, Shen Huaishan made some indirect criticisms of him.
Lu Sui couldn't help but wonder if he had been bewitched by Jiang Yueyao?
Why must she be the one?
----
With the help of Shen Huaishan, Jiang Yueyao quickly found a small courtyard.
Osmanthus Alley in Jinxiufang.
The alley is named after a century-old osmanthus tree growing at the entrance.
The move was quick, there was very little stuff involved and it was all done on the same day.
Although the courtyard is not big, it has everything, including east and west wing rooms, a kitchen, a utility room...
It is more than enough for Sulan and Aunt Chun to live in.
Bai Jinyu also sent a few maids to help clean up and bought a lot of furniture...
By the time I finish all this, the New Year will be here.
The Emperor Minghuang's health is still in the recovery stage, so the palace banquets held in previous years have been cancelled this year.
Shen Baoqing cheered happily.
"Great, after the New Year's Eve dinner, let's go out and watch the dragon lanterns."
