Chapter 93 You'll Regret It
Taifu Mansion, tea room.
It was the end of June, the sun was scorching outside, but the house was filled with the aroma of tea, and a large ice bucket was placed on the side, emitting coolness.
Duan Yanzhou took a sip of tea, briefly explained what Lu Sui had asked him to do, and then changed the subject.
"What did you do to Xiao Yaoyao?"
"She went out crying, which made Yuan Zheng feel pity for her. He even looked at you and found a carriage to send her back personally."
He said as he looked at the man sitting opposite him.
Seeing him playing with the teacup in his hand with an expressionless face, I couldn't help but become more curious.
"What do you mean to Xiao Yaoyao?"
"If you say you have no feelings for her, you brought her all the way from Sucheng, kept her by your side, and even arranged for Xiaoxi to take good care of her."
"Besides, yesterday, you were so violent and just barged into the door. I've known you for so many years, but I've never seen you so impulsive for anyone."
"Old Lu, you're not like an old tree blooming, are you attracted to her?"
Lu Sui finally made a move.
He raised his eyes and stared at Duan Yanzhou with a cold face.
"Have you said enough?"
"You're anxious!" Duan Yanzhou pointed at him and reaffirmed, "You're anxious. You just like her."
Lu Sui put down the teacup, leaned back slightly, and closed his eyes.
Yesterday, I traveled hundreds of miles to rush back to the capital. As soon as I arrived, I received the news that Jiang Yueyao was taken away by Prince An. It was already early morning when I brought her back, and I stayed with her all night. I entered the palace early this morning and have been busy until now.
There were still a lot of things waiting for him in the study, but Lu Sui was not in the mood at the moment.
Duan Yanzhou said he liked her.
Lu Sui couldn't refute because even he himself didn't know what kind of feelings he had for Jiang Yueyao.
It's more of a possessiveness than an emotion.
He brought her to the capital and she was the shopkeeper of his Wanhe Tower. In Lu Sui's heart, Jiang Yueyao "belonged" to him.
So, when he heard her say that there were many men who liked her, an indescribable violent energy suddenly surged in his body...
Duan Yanzhou was still chattering in his ear.
Lu Sui, who was already irritable, was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and got up and left the tea room.
Duan Yanzhou turned his head and watched him stride away.
"If Yaoyao falls in love with Yuan Zheng, you'll regret it then."
Lu Sui strode forward without looking back.
Do you regret it?
He asked himself!
He has never had any regrets in his life.
What's more, he was born to be a widower, without a wife or children. It was destined by fate, so why should he force it?
…
Jiang Yueyao rested at home for three days.
During these three days, Qing Yi came every day to change her dressing. By the third day, her neck was much better, no longer painful, and she could move freely. Early in the morning of the fourth day, Jiang Yueyao went to Wanhe Tower.
Xia Ying, who temporarily replaced her, hugged her and cried when she saw her coming.
"Shopkeeper, you're finally here. I really can't handle this. Yesterday, I made a mistake in the calculation and lost more than ten taels of silver. Wow..."
Jiang Yueyao touched her head amusedly.
"It's okay. If you made a mistake, it's fine. I'll give you a day off today. Go back and rest for a day, and come back tomorrow."
"That won't work," Xia Ying shook her head. "You just recovered from your injury, and Xiao Tao was taken away by Lord Duan. The restaurant is already short of staff, and I can't rest."
"Besides, I'm not tired at all."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yueyao no longer insisted and asked her to bring the account book. She sat in the corner and began to calculate the income and expenditure bills for the past three days.
When Shen Baoqing came, she had already finished everything.
"Didn't you accompany the old lady to the summer resort?"
Shen Baoqing looked at the bruises still on her neck and sighed softly: "I just said I would sleep with you, but you insisted that I had bad intentions towards you. Now look, my life almost fell into the hands of Prince An."
"Is your neck okay? Why does the bruise look so bad to me?"
Jiang Yueyao shook her head gently: "It's okay, it just looks scary, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
She put away the account book: "I can't always need someone to protect me. Besides, I can't prevent it even if I want to. I'm so good to Xiao Tao, but she still wants to hurt me."
When this matter was mentioned, Shen Baoqing started cursing.
"Where is she? I'm going to kill her..." As he said that, he started rolling up his sleeves.
"Mr. Duan took her away." Jiang Yueyao was depressed. "I suddenly felt that my judgment of people was really bad."
"I don't want to hear that." Shen Baoqing tried to persuade her, "You're not wrong. They're the ones who are wrong. They're all ungrateful. They won't have a good ending in the future..."
Before he could finish his words, someone came in.
Shen Baoqing raised his head and looked at Lu Hengqing who walked in, and couldn't help but sneered.
"Tsk, say ungrateful, and here comes the ungrateful."
Jiang Yueyao glanced back, then looked away, too lazy to pay attention.
Lu Hengqing is on vacation today and came to see Jiang Yueyao specifically.
He didn't notice her when he came in. He looked around before he found her and walked towards her.
As he got closer, he also saw Shen Baoqing.
Seeing that neither of them looked at him, he coughed.
Unexpectedly, the two of them still didn't even raise their eyelids. One was drinking tea and the other was working with the account book, as if they didn't see him.
As a last resort, Lu Hengqing had to speak first.
"Yaoyao, I have something to talk to you about."
Jiang Yueyao didn't even raise her head, her voice was indifferent and distant: "Mr. Lu, there is nothing left for us to talk about. I'm very busy now. Go do what you need to do. I don't have time to care about you."
She said as she stood up and walked towards the counter.
Lu Hengqing followed immediately.
His previous arrogant tone was changed and his voice became gentle.
"I came here today just to tell you that my engagement with Princess Xiangning has been cancelled. I finally don't have to marry her."
"I saw her bullying you before, and now everyone in Prince An's mansion has been imprisoned. She has been demoted to a commoner. If you want revenge, I can help you get it."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyao paused and then looked up at him.
She smiled lightly, her eyes full of mockery.
"She bullied me, but she didn't get any good treatment from me either."
"She is in jail now. I will not kick her when she is down, and I will not seek revenge."
"Lu Hengqing, I'm different from you. You only care about profit. If someone helps you, you'll kneel down and serve them like a dog. But if someone hinders your future, you'll get rid of them without hesitation."
"Just like me," she stared into his eyes and asked coldly, "Do you dare to say that you have never sent someone to assassinate me?"
"If it weren't for a chance encounter, I would have been reduced to a pile of bones by now."
"So, Lu Hengqing, there is only deep hatred between us, and there will never be a day of reconciliation in this life!"
Her words shocked Lu Hengqing so much that his face turned pale.
"you……"
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Yaoyao, you have always been in my heart. Now, my engagement with Princess Xiangning has been cancelled. If you are willing, I can..."
Jiang Yueyao raised her eyebrows.
"Marry me?"
Lu Hengqing looked embarrassed.
"My current status is different, and yours... I've said before that I can take you as my concubine."
