Chapter 50 The Couple
Jiang Yueyao regretted it as soon as she finished scolding.
Seeing Lu Sui's expression change, she quickly hid behind Chenyu.
Chenyu crossed her arms over her chest, protecting Jiang Yueyao behind her, staring at Lu Sui with an unhappy look on her face.
Lu Sui glanced at her indifferently, and seeing that she looked like an eagle protecting a chick, he sneered, turned around, walked to the stands and sat down.
The prince, who was drinking tea, saw him coming and said with a smile, "Let's find a place to celebrate later?"
"Team Jiaolong lost, what are you celebrating, Your Highness?"
"Oh, you're so boring! Never mind the dragons or the tigers; they're all citizens of Daye. As the crown prince, how could I be so petty?"
Lu Sui said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. I have to go back to my old house to be with my parents. Your Highness, please do as you please."
"Well, actually I'm just saying this. There's still a lot of things going on in the palace."
The event was over, the prizes were awarded, and those who needed to be comforted were appeased. By the time all was said and done, it was already noon.
Jiang Yueyao was about to say goodbye to Yuan Shuyan when Yuan Zheng jumped off the dragon boat.
He held the first place flag in his hand and walked to Jiang Yueyao with great vigor. His handsome face, covered with beads of sweat, was full of spirits.
"Miss Jiang, I didn't disappoint you today, did I?"
Jiang Yueyao met his scorching gaze and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Master Yuan, for your hard work and winning me fifty taels. Next time you go to Wanhe Tower, I'll treat you to a few of their new summer cold dishes for free."
"Okay, since we have a day off for Dragon Boat Festival, I'll take my sister to try it tomorrow."
After a few jokes, Jiang Yueyao said goodbye and walked out with Chenyu.
Not far behind her, Lu Hengqing had a gloomy face. He was soaked all over, and the silver-white dragon boat suit stuck to his body, making him feel uncomfortable.
Changshun followed him and handed him the robe in his hand.
"Sir, please put this on first and change into it after you get on the carriage."
However, Lu Hengqing acted as if he didn't hear his words. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yueyao in front of him. His mind was full of the obsessed look on her face when she shouted "Master Yuan" on the shore during the competition just now.
Lu Hengqing thought, she looked so shameless when she was jumping and leaping on the shore just now.
Yuan Zheng was the eldest son of the Governor's Mansion, and his status was even more noble than his current status.
What if she jumps higher?
Would anyone else marry her?
A little merchant girl came to the capital, but she still didn't know her place and dreamed of becoming a phoenix. It was simply ridiculous.
Lu Hengqing thought that for the sake of their past relationship, he had to step forward and warn her to avoid any trouble that would involve him and cause more trouble.
Just as he was about to catch up, he saw Qingshu, the servant beside his third uncle, walk towards Jiang Yueyao and say something to her respectfully.
Jiang Yueyao immediately followed him.
Lu Hengqing stopped.
At this moment, he seemed to feel that something was out of his control and expectations.
Everything that happened today took him by surprise.
First the prince protected her, then Yuan Zheng, and now her third uncle...
Changshun, who was standing by, also saw Qingshu.
He suddenly remembered something-----
"Sir, you asked me to investigate the owner of Wanhe Tower last time, and I've already found out."
Lu Hengqing stared at Jiang Yueyao's gradually walking away figure, his voice gloomy.
"Who is it?"
"It's the Third Master."
"Third Uncle?" Lu Hengqing was extremely surprised. "Wanhe Tower belongs to Third Uncle?"
"Yes, this matter is not difficult to investigate. Although the Third Master does not like to publicize it, he has never been shy about it. I only recently learned that the Wanhe Tower was a reward from His Majesty. It is no secret in the Beijing circle."
Lu Hengqing's face became even uglier.
"In other words, Third Uncle and Jiang Yueyao have known each other for a long time?"
"I haven't found out how this Shopkeeper Jiang knew the Third Master. I just know that she was assigned to Wanhe Tower upon arriving in the capital. Coincidentally, the previous shopkeeper of Wanhe Tower was old and wanted to return to his hometown to retire, so Shopkeeper Jiang took over this lucrative position."
Lu Hengqing sneered after hearing this.
"Go investigate further. Make sure you find out how Jiang Yueyao came to the capital? And with whom?" He thought for a moment, then said, "Send someone smarter to Sucheng to find out what happened before Jiang Yueyao came to the capital."
"yes."
…
Lu Sui's carriage stopped under a big tree.
Jiang Yueyao had just stepped onto the steps and was about to go over there when she saw from afar a girl standing in front of a carriage. The Grand Tutor in brocade clothes was holding the curtain and talking to the other girl.
Although we were not close, I could still see the expression on his face.
Unlike when he faced her, his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and he always looked stern and angry at her, there was actually a smile on his face.
Although this smile looks very dull, it is different after all.
Jiang Yueyao was extremely curious.
She asked Qingshu, "Who is that girl?"
Qingshu glanced at her and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, so he replied confidently, "Pei Yunjin, the legitimate daughter of the Left Prime Minister."
"So she's the daughter of the Left Prime Minister," Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder your master is so kind."
Qingshu patted his head and said, "Master, as the Grand Tutor, is always kind and amiable when he is outside."
Amiable?
Jiang Yueyao was horrified: "Qingshu, please don't use idioms carelessly. These four words have nothing to do with him, okay?"
"Miss, please keep your voice down. If the master hears you, he will give you a beating."
"Oh Qingshu, I don't care at all. He's a mean guy, but it's not like I'm losing any weight."
Jiang Yueyao suddenly thought of Chen Yulai.
She turned around to look for her, but saw Chenyu leaning against a tree trunk a few steps away, with her arms folded in front of her chest and a look of indifference on her face.
"What are you doing?" She walked over to her and saw Chenyu staring at the carriage over there. "Who are you looking at?"
"Who else can I look at?" Chenyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Look at that couple."
“…”
Jiang Yueyao covered her mouth with her hand.
He was so scared that his face turned pale.
"Ancestor, how dare you say anything?"
Chenyu raised her hand, pulled away the hand that was covering her mouth, poked her forehead with her finger, and wanted to say something, but met her confused big eyes. After thinking for a while, she swallowed it back.
Forget it. This girl is stupid and may not have such thoughts about Lu Sui.
Maybe he hasn't figured it out yet.
…
After the competition, Lu Sui returned to the carriage.
Qingshu had just been sent out by him to find Jiang Yueyao when someone came from the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.
The girl's soft voice sounded from outside the car.
"Excuse me, is Lord Lu here?"
Lu Sui lifted the car curtain and looked up at the girl standing outside the car.
Pei Yunjin hurriedly raised her skirt and bowed to him, her voice soft and sweet.
"Yun Jin greets Master Lu."
Lu Sui recognized her and nodded slightly: "Ms. Pei."
He has a deep voice with a pleasant charm.
Pei Yunjin's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked up at him. "I was lucky enough to be saved by the Grand Tutor last time. I was so scared at the time that I forgot to thank you. I came here today to express my gratitude."
As she spoke, she took the brocade box handed to her by the maid beside her.
She held it in both hands and handed it to Lu Sui, her eyes as gentle as water.
"These are some snacks I made by myself this morning. Please don't mind them, Master."
