Chapter 62 Sir, You Are So Kind
The marriage certificate in Jiang Yueyao's hand has always been what Lu Hengqing wanted.
This marriage certificate is like a sword hanging over his head, which can take his life at any time.
He kept trying to find ways to tear it up.
But now, seeing the marriage certificate being torn up with his own eyes, he felt a trace of reluctance in his heart.
After all, Jiang Yueyao, although a little vulgar and of low status, has an extremely outstanding appearance. Before in Sucheng, she fascinated the playboy Pang Jinze. Now that she is in the capital, she has even attracted Master Yuan of the Governor's Mansion to speak for her. His colleague Feng Zheng also talks about her every day.
Oh!
This woman is both beautiful and cunning.
Even if I come to him, I won’t be content.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't want it.
Lu Hengqing also took out his marriage certificate, tore it in half, and threw it into the bamboo basket.
Their marriage was annulled from then on.
Jiang Yueyao let out a breath.
Wang looked at her distressedly and said, "Child, it was Qing'er who wronged you. What do you want? We will do our best to make it up to you."
Jiang Yueyao was not polite either.
"I've already told him that I've spent a total of four thousand taels of silver on him over the past seven years. From today on, I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. If you're willing, please pay him back."
"That's what I should do. I'll have someone bring it to you in a moment."
"Thank you for your understanding, Madam. As for these jewels, I..."
"Take it!" Lu Sui interrupted her. "He came to apologize. This is what you deserve. Why are you being so polite?"
Jiang Yueyao: “…”
Second Master Lu Fan also spoke.
"Third brother is right. These are what you should receive. Lu Hengqing is ignorant and has caused you so much harm. Let alone these, even if I give you more, it is not too much."
Since that’s what he said, Jiang Yueyao just accepted it.
After sending the three members of the Lu family out, Jiang Yueyao returned to the main hall and looked at the Grand Tutor who was drinking tea. She raised her little face and smiled.
"You are so kind, my lord."
Lu Sui raised his eyes to look at her: "I didn't hand him over to the authorities, don't you blame me?"
"Don't blame me, don't blame me. I know that even if you send him to the government, the Second Master and his wife won't sit idly by. No matter how bad Lu Hengqing is, he is still their child."
"Instead of sending it in and then having to fish it out again, it would be a waste of effort. Why not..." She glanced at the two red sandalwood brocade boxes beside her. The gold and silver jewels inside sparkled. She couldn't help herself any longer and hugged them tightly. "Oh, oh, I love it so much."
Perhaps influenced by her, Lu Sui couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He looked at her, his deep gaze falling on her fair face. Seeing her grinning happily, he couldn't help but sneer.
"Nothing!"
After saying that, he put down the teacup and stood up.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Yueyao stood up as well.
"Isn't your Excellency still on vacation? Where are you going?"
"Let's go to Xiangguo Temple." Lu Sui adjusted the sleeves of his brocade robe and looked up at her. "I'll take you somewhere when you come back in the evening."
"Where are you going?" Jiang Yueyao's eyes lit up.
"There's a new restaurant opening in the west of the city. Come with me to try it out and learn from its strengths."
When she heard that there was something delicious to eat, Jiang Yueyao nodded her head.
"Okay, then come back early." She followed Lu Sui and said worriedly, "Don't forget the time while listening to the sutra. Remember to pick me up when the time comes. I'll be waiting for you at Wanhe Tower."
She then asked, "Sir, is it just the two of us? Can we take Chenyu with us?"
Lu Sui paused and looked back at her, his eyes looking at her as if she were an idiot.
Jiang Yueyao felt her scalp tingle when she saw him looking at her.
"Oh, if you don't want to bring it, then don't bring it. I just mentioned it casually..." Before he could finish his words, he was hit on the forehead again, and then Lu Sui's voice, gritting his teeth, came, "Don't talk too much in front of me in the future!"
"oh!"
Jiang Yueyao sent him to the carriage, watched the carriage leave, and then turned around and returned home.
She called all three people in the family over.
Pointing at the jewelry in the brocade box, she said to the three of them, "Take whatever you like, and I'm truly rich now."
Chenyu glanced at the wooden box with little interest.
"I don't like it. I'm not interested."
Su Lan also waved her hand: "I don't want to touch the Lu family's things."
Aunt Chun also shook her head: "I have everything I need. Now that I'm old, I can't wear these. Yaoyao, you should keep them well. When you get married in the future, you can add them to your dowry. When you get married to your husband's family, they will look up to you."
Seeing that none of the three wanted it, Jiang Yueyao also lost interest.
She closed the box and handed it to Sulan: "Please keep it for me. I can sell it when I need money urgently."
"good."
…
Lu Sui stayed in Xiangguo Temple for a whole day.
It was not until the evening that he came out of the abbot's meditation room.
The host Xuan Hong sent him to the door, yawning and looking very disgusted.
"Don't come here again next time you have a day off. I'm too tired to serve you."
Lu Sui curled his lips: "It's obviously your chess skills that are not good, but you insist on blaming me."
"Oh, get out of here!" Xuan Hong turned to go back to the house, but suddenly remembered something and stared at Lu Sui's peach blossom palace. "The red light is getting more and more obvious. Zhong Qian, swear on your chest that you really haven't been tempted?"
Lu Sui ignored him and turned to get on the carriage.
Xuanhong did not give up.
"Is it that girl from last time? I always feel that the way you look at her is not ordinary. Hey, why are you leaving? I haven't finished talking yet... Oh, you have such a bad temper. I really don't know which young lady will be able to stand you in the future... Oh, I'm so tired. I have to go back and catch up on some sleep."
The carriage went down the mountain and two hours later, entered the city and stopped at the gate of Wanhe Tower.
The sun was setting and it was almost time for dinner.
Guests were coming and going at the entrance of Wanhe Tower. Jiang Yueyao was standing on the steps, greeting a familiar guest. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a carriage approaching. She turned her head and saw that it was Lu Sui, and her eyes lit up.
She immediately escorted the guest to the lobby on the first floor and turned to greet Lu Sui.
Lu Sui sat in the carriage without moving, lifting the curtain to look at her.
"Go and tell them first, I'll wait for you."
"Okay."
Jiang Yueyao turned around and went to look for Chenyu.
"Master, take me to dinner. You watch the counter for me."
Chenyu had just come down from upstairs and her hands were wet. She wiped her hands with a handkerchief and took the cup beside her to drink some cold tea.
Only then did he have time to ask her, "Just the two of you?"
"Yes." Jiang Yueyao said sincerely, "I wanted to take you with me, but the master didn't seem to be happy about it."
Chen Yu: “…”
Lu Sui is also quite pitiful.
Jiang Yueyao is a slow-witted person, so he just has to wait and see.
After giving the instructions, Jiang Yueyao went out and got on Lu Sui's carriage.
As soon as she got on the carriage, she smelled a light and strange fragrance. She sniffed and moved closer to Lu Sui, but was gently pushed away halfway.
"What are you doing?" Lu Sui asked her.
Jiang Yueyao ignored him and looked around, finally seeing a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist which was slightly exposed.
She asked him curiously, "Does your Excellency usually wear Buddhist beads? I don't think I've noticed it before."
"I rarely wear it, but today I'm listening to a lecture, so I put it on to suit the occasion."
As he spoke, he took the Buddhist beads off his wrist.
Seeing that Jiang Yueyao was curious, he handed it to her.
Jiang Yueyao took it, held it in her palm and looked at it. She didn't understand these things, but she could tell that this string of beads was extraordinary.
Worried that she might break it, she returned it to Lu Sui.
Lu Sui put it in the secret compartment beside him. When he raised his eyes, he saw her staring at him, as if thinking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yueyao shook her head slightly, but what she was thinking about was that at the moment before she was reborn from her previous life, she seemed to have smelled a strange fragrance and heard bursts of Buddhist sounds.
After her rebirth, Lu Sui saved her time and time again, brought her to the capital, properly settled her, and protected her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yueyao's heart trembled slightly...
Could it be that the Sanskrit sound in the previous life was related to him?
