Chapter 198 Unlovable
After returning from Xiangguo Temple, the relationship between Jiang Yueyao and Lu Sui eased a lot.
The Regent, who had tasted some sweetness, became a little too proud of himself. He sent people to deliver things to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion every day. Today it was a piece of jewelry, tomorrow it was a rare item, and the day after tomorrow it was some food.
After sending it for a few days in a row, Shen Huaishan became unhappy.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jiang Yueyao was about to go to Mingyue Tower across the street to find Shen Baoqing, but her father arrived.
Shen Huaishan entered the house and started talking about all sorts of things instead of business.
"Are you used to living in Baozhu Tower?"
"Well, my daughter likes it very much. Thank you, Daddy."
"Hey, hey, between us father and daughter, there's no need for these polite words. If you need anything, just ask Amber to find the butler and he will arrange it for you."
"My daughter knows."
"What did you have for breakfast today?"
"My daughter thought the wontons were delicious and ate several extra."
"As long as you like it."
"Did you sleep well last night? Were you cold at night? Do you want me to change your bed to a thicker blanket?"
"It's not cold. The quilt is just right. If it were thicker, it would probably be too hot."
Seeing that he was still racking his brains to talk to her about this and that, Jiang Yueyao said with a smile: "Daddy, do you have something to tell me?"
Shen Huaishan glanced at her, raised his hand, touched his forehead, and cleared his throat.
He suddenly moved closer to her and lowered his voice.
"Have you reconciled with that Lu guy?"
Jiang Yueyao burst out laughing.
She knew it was this.
Seeing that she was still smiling, Shen Huaishan frowned: "Tell me honestly, have you reconciled with him?"
Jiang Yueyao suppressed her laughter and nodded.
"There were some misunderstandings in the past, but they have now been resolved."
When Shen Huaishan heard this, he looked disapproving.
"The misunderstanding has been resolved, but the knot in my heart still remains." He spoke earnestly, fearing that his daughter would suffer any harm. "Think about the cold face he gave you, the tears you shed for him in the middle of the night, and then think about his condescending attitude..."
"Xiao Qi, Daddy isn't trying to cause trouble, he's just not worthy of you."
Jiang Yueyao wanted to laugh again.
Sure enough, in the heart of her own father, no matter whether his daughter is good or bad, no one else is worthy of her.
Seeing her laughing with her head down, Shen Huaishan took a deep breath and his tone became heavier.
"Xiao Qi, Lu Sui is even more cunning than Daddy. He's an old fox who has practiced for many years and specializes in deceiving innocent girls like you."
"This man, once he gets a woman, the novelty wears off immediately, and he'll throw you aside and ignore you. Who will you cry to then?"
"Besides, how old is he? You are only seventeen now, and he is twenty-five."
"Before, the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage between him and Baoqing. There was a six-year age difference between them, and I thought he was too old."
"Now, with an eight-year age difference between you two, it's even more inappropriate."
“Besides,” Shen Huaishan’s tone suddenly changed.
His expression suddenly turned serious.
"Others may not know this, but I do know that Lu Sui was born with a lonely fate. This will not only affect his closest relatives, but will also affect his future wife."
"Xiao Qi, you've been missing for over ten years, and I finally found you. How could I bear to let you take this risk?"
Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Sui had said to her on the way back from Xiangguo Temple with him shortly after arriving in the capital...
Those words are still ringing in my ears.
Just like what my father said, he was born alone. He is unlucky to his parents, his descendants, and his wife. Anyone who gets too close to him will be unlucky.
But Jiang Yueyao didn't believe it.
She looked at Shen Huaishan and said softly, “But Daddy, it was he who saved me time and time again, and it was he who brought me to the capital, which allowed me to return to you again.”
She looked at Shen Huaishan and wanted to keep Pei Yu's affairs a secret forever, but she felt that it was unnecessary to hide it, so she just told him everything.
Shen Huaishan was shocked when he heard this.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Well, my daughter almost died at the hands of that killer."
In fact, what she wanted to say was, 'I have died once, and the one standing in front of you now is Baoqi, who was brought back to life by God's mercy.'
But she didn't dare say it.
Shen Huaishan stood up from his chair with a jerk.
"What a heartless Pei Yu! How dare he... How dare he..."
Perhaps because he was too shocked and angry, Shen Huaishan clenched his hands hanging by his side into fists.
"I'm going to kill him..."
As he was about to leave, Jiang Yueyao grabbed him.
"Dad, don't be impulsive. Pei Yu has already gotten his comeuppance. Lu Sui has already taught him a lesson for me."
"What's the use of teaching a lesson?" Shen Huaishan's eyes suddenly turned red.
Such a tall and unyielding middle-aged man, when he thought about how his youngest daughter almost died at the hands of that scumbag, he wished he could grind him to ashes.
Jiang Yueyao pulled him to sit down.
He hurriedly poured a cup of tea over and said softly, "It's all in the past. I don't want to have anything to do with Pei Yu anymore. He hasn't dared to appear in front of me for a long time."
After the impulse, Shen Huaishan slowly calmed down.
The past cannot be passed.
He must make Pei Yu pay the price.
But being interrupted by Pei Yu's matter, Shen Huaishan couldn't say anything bad about Lu Sui anymore. The father and daughter chatted about family matters for a while, and then he left.
After he left, Jiang Yueyao hurried to the Mingyue Tower opposite.
Something has been wrong with Shen Baoqing since he came back from Xiangguo Temple.
Something is very wrong.
She is the most restless person in the family.
Active, talkative, fun and delicious.
She always said that eating, drinking and having fun are the four major things in life.
But now, Jiuxiang, who was beside Shen Baoqing, said, "The girl has no interest in doing anything. She sits in front of the window in a daze all day. Yesterday, the kitchen made her favorite braised pork, but she didn't even look at it."
Jiang Yueyao thought that something must have happened to her.
The layout of 'Mingyue Tower' is the same as her 'Baozhu Tower'.
She walked in with Amber and Jiuxiang came out to greet them.
"The girl went to the pavilion."
Jiang Yueyao turned and went to the pavilion.
Before I got close, I heard the sound of swords.
When I got closer, I saw a fiery red figure dancing with a sword over the pavilion. The long sword in her hand was like a dragon, agile and sharp.
Jiang Yueyao didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, her eyes full of amazement.
What a heroic beauty.
At this moment, every movement of Shen Baoqing was a combination of hardness and softness. The long sword in her hand obediently changed into various sword flowers. Her body was light and agile. She jumped up lightly and landed lightly. Every movement was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to blink.
This is her sister.
Shen Baoqing, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo.
After a long time, Shen Baoqing put away his sword.
She turned and looked at Jiang Yueyao, took the handkerchief handed to her by Jiuxiang, wiped it simply, handed the sword in her hand to her, and walked towards Jiang Yueyao.
"Are you stunned?"
Jiang Yueyao walked up to her, put her arm around her, and smiled.
"You looked so beautiful just now."
Shen Baoqing was not happy at all.
"What's the use of being good-looking? It's still not pleasing."
