Chapter 96: Dare not have any more delusions
After Yuan Zheng was pulled away by Duan Yanzhou, only Lu Sui and Jiang Yueyao lying on the bed were left in the inner room.
Two people, one sitting and one lying.
One of them stared at her, and the other refused to open his eyes, as if he didn't exist.
The stalemate lasted for a cup of tea, and then Sulan came in with a bowl of freshly boiled medicine in her hand.
"Yaoyao, take your medicine."
Jiang Yueyao finally opened her eyes. She tried to sit up, but she felt dizzy and fell back down.
When Sulan saw this, she was about to put the medicine aside and go to help her, but someone stood up before her.
"I'll do it."
Lu Sui stood by the bed, bent over, and reached out to help her. As soon as his hand touched her arm, he was slapped.
He paused, looked up at her, and his expression became even darker.
Jiang Yueyao was not afraid of him. She turned her face away and said coldly, "I don't need your fake kindness!"
She said, trying to sit up.
But unfortunately, my arms were weak and I couldn't sit up at all.
Jiang Yueyao felt somewhat embarrassed and was about to give up when a big hand came down, grabbed her back and pulled her up. Jiang Yueyao was about to resist when the other person pressed her into his arms.
A low, cold voice came down: "Try to move again!"
His voice was so cold, almost scary.
Jiang Yueyao was afraid of him after all, so she immediately behaved herself and didn't dare to move again.
Lu Sui glanced at her, took the bowl of medicine handed to him by Su Lan, tested the temperature, and then put it next to Jiang Yueyao's mouth.
The smell of medicine in the nose is strong and bitter.
Jiang Yueyao covered her nose and turned her face away in disgust, full of resistance, not wanting to drink!
Lu Sui frowned slightly and was about to speak when Su Lan beside him hurriedly explained in a low voice.
"Every time a girl takes medicine, she must eat a salted plum first."
As she spoke, she turned around and brought over a box of salted plums from outside. She took one and put it into Jiang Yueyao's mouth. Jiang Yueyao ate it bit by bit, and taking advantage of the sweet and sour taste in her mouth, she quickly moved her mouth towards the medicine bowl.
Seeing this, Lu Sui handed the medicine bowl in his hand over to Jiang Yueyao, and Jiang Yueyao drank the medicine in one breath using his hand.
After drinking it, he stuffed several more plums into the drink.
Lu Sui watched without saying a word.
Sulan took the medicine bowl and walked out.
In the inner room, they were the only two left again.
Realizing that she was still in his arms, Jiang Yueyao struggled, and Lu Sui put her back.
As soon as she lay down, she closed her eyes.
The main strategy is to ignore him completely without looking at him or paying any attention to him.
Lu Sui stood beside the bed, his eyes lowered, his gaze fixed on her face. If it weren't for her illness, he really didn't want to take care of her anymore.
Take a deep breath and calm yourself down.
Lu Sui spoke again, his voice not as cold as before.
"Are you going to keep treating me like this?"
Jiang Yueyao closed her eyes and ignored him.
"Ha!" Lu Sui sneered, "He's not big, but he has a big temper."
"Yes, I have a bad temper. What's wrong with having a bad temper? My mother spoiled me. If you are an eyesore to Lord Lu, you can just leave. Why do you have to be here to get angry?"
It would have been fine if she didn't open her mouth, but when she did, it started chattering like firecrackers, which made Lu Sui's originally cold expression relax a little.
"With such a powerful mouth, it seems to be getting better."
"Hmph, if you hadn't come, I would have recovered long ago and wouldn't even need to take medicine." Jiang Yueyao rolled her eyes at him and snorted.
"I'm so sorry, I never knew I was so powerful." Lu Sui sat down on a chair beside her and looked up at her. "It's only been a few days since we last met. How did you end up like this?"
"It's just a little bit of heatstroke. Who hasn't suffered from the heatstroke in the middle of summer?"
"Is Wanhe Tower so busy?"
"You have no idea whether you are busy or not!"
"Jiang Yueyao, do you have to be so sarcastic with me?"
"Yes!" Jiang Yueyao stiffened her neck, her eyes wide open, "I don't want to see you at all now, but you insisted on getting close to me..."
"Who do you want to see?" Lu Sui suddenly leaned over, his aura cold again. "Yuan Zheng?"
He was suddenly very close, and the feeling of oppression was overwhelming.
Jiang Yueyao subconsciously reached out to push him, but just as her hand touched his chest, Lu Sui grabbed it.
He lowered himself even lower.
The deep voice is even colder,
"Yuan Zheng saved you time and time again. You know in your heart that he has a good impression of you."
"You don't like him, but you drag him to act in front of me. If one day he gets too into the act and insists on marrying you, what will you do?"
His words made Jiang Yueyao feel inexplicably embarrassed and annoyed.
"What can I do? Of course I have to marry him. Young Master Yuan is the eldest son of the Grand Commander's Mansion. If I can marry him, it will be a great blessing for me in eight lifetimes. Such a good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern. Naturally, I am overjoyed."
Lu Sui sneered.
It was as if he was laughing at her innocence and cuteness.
"You also know that he was born in the Governor's Mansion. His father was a first-rank Governor in the imperial court. The Yuan family is a family of nobles and officials for generations. Every son of the mansion married a daughter of a century-old family of equal status."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Yueyao's fury instantly exploded. "So you and that bastard Lu Hengqing are the same. Both of you look down on me because I'm a merchant."
Lu Sui did not deny it.
Just stating the facts.
"Yuan Zheng is a man of integrity. He always keeps his word. If he says he wants to marry you, then of course he will marry you, but not as his principal wife!"
Jiang Yueyao suddenly stopped talking.
"Since ancient times, when men and women marry, the emphasis has always been on matching people of equal social status and strong relationships."
"If you look across the entire capital, there has never been an exception."
"Yuan Zheng is the eldest son of the Yuan family and shoulders the responsibilities and mission of the entire family. His future wife cannot be a girl without any family background."
"And I heard that his mother, Madam Yuan, is already helping him find a marriage partner."
"So I advise you to see the truth as soon as possible to avoid hurting yourself."
Jiang Yueyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.
Her eyes were clear, with a hint of sadness.
"Is this the reason why you, my Lord, have always disapproved of me being your mistress?"
Lu Sui was stunned.
Jiang Yueyao continued, "I know that I am of low status. In this circle of powerful people in the capital, I have never thought of marrying up to anyone."
"As for Mr. Yuan, he saved me time and time again. I am so grateful to him that I have never had any other thoughts."
"What I said just now was just a momentary angry remark."
"I have always been in my place and never dared to ask for anything."
"My only extravagant wish is to be your mistress's concubine."
"But now it seems that my idea is too high after all."
"Think about it, even if she's a concubine, your Grand Tutor's concubine is the daughter of a wealthy family. Unlike me, an orphan with no parents and nothing, how could I possibly catch the eye of Master Lu?"
"Yaoyao will remember what you said today, sir, and will never have such delusions again in the future."
"It's late, I want to go to bed, please go back, sir."
