Chapter 22 I'm Not an Insult
People, you really shouldn’t say bad things behind others’ backs.
When you say nice things, you can't hear them at all.
But every time I say something bad, I get caught by the person involved.
Jiang Yueyao's scalp tingled. She slowly turned around and looked at Lu Sui who was standing not far away.
He must have just come out of the palace. He was wearing a dark purple official robe, a black belt inlaid with gold and jade around his waist, no official hat, a jade crown to hold his hair, and no other accessories. He looked simple and neat, standing tall, with a cool and restrained aura. His calmness revealed a cold and sharp aura that made people's heart palpitate.
Jiang Yueyao met his eyes and her heart trembled with fear.
She blinked, raised her hand stiffly and waved at the other person twice.
"What a coincidence, Lord Lu."
Lu Sui strode forward and stopped in front of her after just a few steps.
He looked down at me with a sneer.
"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to look for you."
“…” Jiang Yueyao didn’t dare to speak.
"Jiang Yueyao, I regret this."
"Ah? What are you regretting?" Jiang Yueyao's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively knew that something bad was going to happen.
"I, your Excellency, am sorry that you have just arrived in the capital and have no place to stay, so I am renting you my own private residence at a low price. Since you think I am being pretentious, then I will not pretend anymore. The rent for this residence is two thousand taels per month, and I will not accept any bargaining!"
"What do you think?"
Jiang Yueyao became anxious when she heard this.
"Sir, Sir Lu, I was wrong, I was wrong..." Seeing him heading into the restaurant, Jiang Yueyao immediately followed him, "Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me, okay?"
"Oh, you said that about my mouth," she raised her hand and slapped herself, "She's really indebted. She deserves a beating."
Then he hit himself again.
There was no one in the restaurant lobby at this time.
Lu Sui sat down and looked at her coldly.
Seeing that he looked tired, Jiang Yueyao walked up to him and massaged his shoulders attentively.
"You know my difficulties. I only have so little money. I can't afford the rent of 500 taels. If you add more, how can I afford to live here?"
Lu Sui remained unmoved.
"If you can't afford to live here, then move out. I don't like ungrateful people."
His voice was cold.
This sounds a bit harsh.
Jiang Yueyao paused her movements.
She lowered her hands awkwardly.
She walked up to him, took a deep breath, and bowed respectfully.
"Thank you very much, Lord Lu, for your care these days. I will always remember your life-saving grace twice. If you need me in the future, I will do my best to help you."
After she finished speaking, she walked out.
Qingshu glanced at his master's face, then looked at Jiang Yueyao who was already heading out. After hesitating for a moment, he raised his foot and chased after her.
He blocked Jiang Yueyao's way.
"Miss, why did you leave just like that? This restaurant still depends on you to take care of it in the future..."
Jiang Yueyao turned around and looked at Lu Sui, who was sitting a few steps away, with a resentful look on her face.
He was cold and arrogant.
My eyes couldn't help but turn red.
"What have I done to deserve the favor of Lord Lu? I'm an ungrateful person, I don't know how to be grateful and I have no conscience..." She started to cry helplessly, "I'm not an ungrateful person, you are the ungrateful person..."
Qingshu took a look and quickly signaled everyone around him to follow him out.
In the spacious lobby, only Jiang Yueyao and Lu Sui were left.
She cried harder and harder.
"I hate ungrateful people the most. Like that bastard Pei Yu, he's a complete ungrateful person. The Jiang family raised him for so many years, providing him with education and food, yet he wants to kill me."
"I hate him so much, I wish I could skin him alive..."
She kept crying.
Lu Sui's forehead, which was already swollen from not sleeping all night, was now aching.
He raised his hand and rubbed it, then spoke helplessly.
"You're crying the wrong way!"
"I'm not crying for anything. I just want to say something," she raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes red and her face very serious, "I'm not an ungrateful person. I remember all the kindness you've shown me, and I will never do anything to betray you."
Lu Sui sighed softly.
He raised his eyes to look at her, meeting her red eyes that were filled with tears.
The tone softened a bit.
"I'm sorry, I was a little harsh just now, but Jiang Yueyao, this is the capital. A stone thrown down here could hit the territories of several powerful people. I hope you can change your bad mouth."
Seeing that his tone was not so stiff.
Attitudes have softened considerably.
She nodded quickly.
"I will change. I will definitely change." She took a few steps towards him, her voice softening. "Sir, please don't be angry anymore, okay? I know I was wrong."
"Um."
"Then the rent..."
Lu Sui couldn't help but sneer: "You cried for a long time, just for this?"
“…” Jiang Yueyao smiled embarrassedly.
There were still tears on his face, but he was grinning.
So ugly.
Lu Sui tilted his head slightly and looked away.
"Since you are so sincere in admitting your mistake, I will give you a 50% discount, 250 taels."
Jiang Yueyao was overjoyed.
"Thank you, sir...but isn't two hundred and fifty taels a bit too much? How about two hundred and forty-nine taels?"
"It's two hundred and fifty. If you don't agree, then five hundred..."
"I agree, I agree, I agree." Jiang Yueyao said three times in a row, "I agree, I agree, I agree. If you like, you can call me an idiot."
Lu Sui looked at her with disdain.
"Okay, call them all in. I have some instructions."
"Okay."
See her running out happily.
The ribbons on the bun fluttered and danced...
Lu Sui breathed a sigh of relief.
I went to the palace overnight yesterday and stayed in the imperial study until midnight. I wanted to leave the palace, but the prince called me back to his place.
He had only been away from Beijing for two months, and he had already created a huge mess.
Lu Sui was extremely annoyed.
Therefore, when he heard Jiang Yueyao say that he was "pretending", he couldn't hold back the anger that he had been suppressing.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't care about such a small matter.
She was young and her little mouth was always chattering, and he had known about it for a long time.
What she could accept in the past, but today, because of other troubles, she has become a fish in the pond.
Everyone came in and stood respectfully in front of Lu Sui.
Lu Sui pointed at one of the old men and looked at Jiang Yueyao.
"This is Shopkeeper Luo. He's been running the restaurant. Mr. Luo is old now and will be returning to his hometown to recuperate soon. You should learn from him these days and get the hang of it as soon as possible. Ask if you don't understand anything. A restaurant is much more complicated than an inn."
Jiang Yueyao took a step forward and bowed lightly to Shopkeeper Luo.
"Yueyao meets Shopkeeper Luo. If there is anything I don't understand in the future, I hope you can teach me more."
Shopkeeper Luo hurriedly returned her greeting.
"You are too kind. I will do my best."
Anyone who can be brought here by the master himself is naturally extraordinary.
Shopkeeper Luo did not dare to be negligent and his tone was full of respect.
Lu Sui stood up.
He looked at Jiang Yueyao.
"I'm busy with official duties and won't be here often. If you need to see me, you can go to the Taifu Mansion."
