Chapter 57 Who's Interesting? Yuan Zheng
Jiang Yueyao returned to Wanhe Tower in Yuan Zheng's carriage.
When she got off the car, she saw Lu Sui's carriage parked on the side. She was delighted and trotted into Wanhe Tower, holding up her skirt.
When Chenyu saw her come back, she immediately came to greet her.
"how's it going?"
"With Lord Lu taking charge, there will naturally be no problem. The Jingzhao prefect said he wants to re-examine the case and give us an explanation."
After hearing this, Chenyu felt better.
She was really angry just now.
If this happened in Mobei, if anyone dared to show partiality, her father would immediately use a military stick to beat them until they surrendered.
Yuan Zheng walked in at this time.
He looked at Jiang Yueyao: "Why are you running so fast?"
Jiang Yueyao was too embarrassed to say that she was going to look for Lu Sui, so she smiled and replied, "I can't wait to share this good news with Chenyu."
"Oh, by the way, Shuyan hasn't left yet, right?" she asked Chenyu.
"It's in Narcissus Pavilion on the second floor."
Yuan Zheng nodded: "Then I'll go up first."
"Thank you for your help today, sir. When I'm done, I'll go up and offer you a glass of wine."
Yuan Zheng waved his hands, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I didn't help much, I just accompanied you."
"We are not related, but I am grateful to you for helping me like this."
The two talked for a few more words, and then Yuan Zheng went upstairs.
Jiang Yueyao asked Lu Sui about the Shifang Pavilion in the backyard, and then hurried into the backyard.
As soon as she entered, she ran into Qingshu who came looking for her.
As soon as he saw her, Qingshu called out, "Hey girl," and said, "You're so careless. Where have you been all this time?"
"I was just talking to Master Yuan..."
"Young Master Yuan, Young Master Yuan-----" Qingshu felt a headache when he heard these three words, "Please don't mention these three words in front of the master later."
He took Jiang Yueyao and walked quickly towards Shifang Pavilion.
Jiang Yueyao looked puzzled: "What's wrong? When did Master Yuan offend your master?"
“…” Qingshu couldn’t help but give her a blank look, feeling speechless.
But then I thought again, the girl is still young, only sixteen, and doesn't understand anything. How can I blame her?
The two walked through the courtyard and came to Shifang Pavilion.
Qingxuan was standing at the bottom of the stairs. When he saw her coming, he respectfully called out, "Miss."
Jiang Yueyao looked up at him with a smile on her face.
"Qingxuan, you finally stopped wearing black clothes."
“…”
"But you look very nice in this guard uniform today."
Qingxuan's expressionless face twitched slightly. He subconsciously glanced at the figure in Shifang Pavilion, then retracted his gaze, and his breathing became lighter.
"Oh my girl, why are you praising him? He has a dull face. No matter how nice his clothes are, they are just like that." Qingshu gently pushed Jiang Yueyao from behind, "Go, go, the master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Yueyao held up her skirt, happily walked up the stairs and entered the Shifang Pavilion.
Lu Sui sat in the Shifang Pavilion, the tea in the cup in front of him untouched.
He leaned his whole body against the back of the chair, his elbows on the armrests, his forehead supported by his hands, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
When approaching him, Jiang Yueyao lowered her footsteps. She walked stealthily behind him and patted his left shoulder gently with her hand.
After taking the photo, she quickly hid to the right, waiting for Lu Sui to catch her.
But the man didn't move or respond at all, as if he was really asleep.
She didn't give up and patted him on the right side again, but he still didn't respond.
Jiang Yueyao felt it was boring, so she turned around and walked over to sit down opposite him, poured herself a cup of tea, and said while drinking, "Sir, you are so boring!"
She originally thought that the other party would ignore her,
Unexpectedly, a cold voice came from the opposite side.
"Then who's interesting? Yuan Zheng?"
Jiang Yueyao held a mouthful of water in her mouth and choked immediately.
"Cough cough cough cough..."
She coughed hard for a long time before she felt better.
After taking another sip of water to moisten her throat, Jiang Yueyao looked up at Lu Sui.
"What do you mean, sir?" She had just coughed, and her watery eyes were full of confusion. "What does this have to do with Master Yuan?"
Lu Sui met her clear and watery eyes, which contained no distracting thoughts.
In an instant, the inexplicable annoyance that had been accumulating dissipated.
He retracted his gaze, sat up slightly, reached out to take the cup of cold tea and took a sip, then slowly spoke: "What happened last night? Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
"I originally thought that since I had reported it to the authorities, they would naturally give me an explanation. I didn't think too much about it at the time." Jiang Yueyao picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for him. "But who could have known that this would happen?"
She said with a look of fear: "Fortunately, Chenyu knows martial arts, otherwise I would have been in great danger last night."
Jiang Yueyao felt that she had a miserable life and cried, "Sir, who did I offend? Why do so many people want to kill me?"
Lu Sui looked at her and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
"Except for Princess Xiang Ning, the others..." She suddenly remembered someone and hurriedly leaned over the table to move closer to Lu Sui, lowering her voice, "I remember now, there is indeed another person."
Lu Sui looked at her.
Jiang Yueyao lowered her voice even more.
"Yesterday, when I came back from Baiyu Lake, Lu Hengqing came to Chunmen Lane. He said some nasty things, and I slapped him." She stared at Lu Sui. "Do you think it was him?"
The three words "Lu Hengqing" made Lu Sui's brows darken.
The more Jiang Yueyao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Her little face turned red with anger.
"Why is he so shameless? I didn't want to bother with him at all, but he insisted on coming to me and saying such disgusting things." Jiang Yueyao remembered something, "Oh, right, he said that after he married Princess Xiangning, he would welcome me into his mansion as a concubine!"
"Heh..." Jiang Yueyao laughed as she spoke, "Where does he get the face? Where does he get the confidence?"
"Concubine? I'm a good girl from a decent family. I must be crazy to become his concubine?"
"Besides, I feel sick just looking at him now. I'm afraid I'll vomit if I look at him any longer."
Jiang Yueyao became angrier as she spoke: "I slapped him hard in the face."
"But now I regret it." Jiang Yueyao gritted her teeth, "I should have slapped you a few more times to relieve the hatred in my heart."
She talked for a long time, but Lu Sui didn't say a word.
"Sir." She looked at him, "Why don't you speak?"
Lu Sui put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at her.
"I'll take care of Lu Hengqing's affairs, and don't interfere with the government office anymore. I'll let Xiaoxi come to you, and I'll let her stay with you from now on."
Jiang Yueyao's face turned pale.
"My Lord, am I in danger again?"
Meeting her panicked eyes, Lu Sui sighed softly, "What are you afraid of? I won't let anything happen to you."
Jiang Yueyao stood up and sat next to him, her small hands tightly clutching his sleeves.
"Sir, why don't you take me in? I'm very good at being a concubine."
“…”
The topic changed so quickly that Lu Sui was slightly stunned.
Then he reacted and raised his hand to knock her on the head.
"Being my concubine means you're safe?" Lu Sui sneered. "There are countless people in Daye who want to kill me. Someone once offered ten thousand gold coins to take my head."
"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Jiang Yueyao was stunned. "Ten thousand taels of gold? They are really rich!"
"Jiang, Yue, Yao!" Lu Sui's face turned cold instantly.
The focus she always grasps is really different from that of ordinary people!
Seeing that he was angry, Jiang Yueyao immediately clasped her hands together and smiled playfully.
"I was just saying it casually. Your life is not as important as gold... Ugh, that's not right... How can gold be as important as your life?"
