Chapter 107: Continuing the Front Line
After Qingshu left, Jiang Yueyao walked behind the counter and quietly opened the account book.
The reason why she said "quietly" was mainly because Qingshu's smile just now was too weird, and she was worried that Lu Sui had written some secret that could not be told.
She flipped through the account book from front to back and finally saw the words Lu Sui wrote to her on the last page.
At first glance, wow, Mr. Lu’s handwriting is so beautiful, strong and powerful, calm and ancient.
After taking another look, Shopkeeper Xiao Jiang was even more delighted.
Because her Lord Lu, seeing how hard she worked to earn money for him, waved his hand and waived her rent.
The rent, a lot of money for a year, was waived by him just like that.
Jiang Yueyao was so happy that she turned around several times while holding the account book.
Su Lan happened to come over from the backyard. Seeing her so happy, she couldn't help but joked, "Did you pick up silver so early in the morning?"
"I'm picking up some silver! I'm picking up some silver!" Jiang Yueyao ran to her happily, and whispered in a low voice, afraid that others would hear, "Lord Lu said that he would waive our rent."
"Rent?" Sulan didn't understand for a moment.
"Well, the rent for the Chunmen Lane courtyard." Jiang Yueyao thought more and more about it, "It's so nice of Lord Lu to let us live there for free."
Sulan couldn't help laughing at her.
"That's not what you said some time ago." Su Lan lowered her voice and teased her deliberately, "Someone said that Lord Lu is narrow-minded, has a bad temper, and has a bad face..."
Jiang Yueyao covered her mouth with her hand.
"Sister, shut up. Lord Lu's spies are everywhere here. If he hears us, we'll have to pay rent again."
The two of them said they would have a little fun and then got busy.
In the evening, people began to come to Wanhe Tower. Jiang Yueyao was busy while waiting for Lu Sui.
In recent days, the capital has been unusually hot, and the nobles in the city have all gone to places to escape the summer heat. Wanhelou does business with the nobles, so the business is a little worse than before.
Jiang Yueyao had just returned from sending a few distinguished guests to the backyard and was about to check if there were a few empty private rooms upstairs when someone walked in.
"Welcome..." She looked up and greeted the guest, but when she saw who it was, her face suddenly turned cold.
Lu Hengqing was wearing a green official robe and had obviously just come off duty.
His face was beaming, as if he had received some good news, and he strode towards her with a cheerful voice.
"Yaoyao, the emperor praised me today."
Jiang Yueyao turned her face away, too lazy to pay attention to him.
She likes to be clingy. When she was in Suzhou, he was studying in the academy. She would often use the excuse of delivering things to him to stay with him for a while and talk to him more, but he was very quiet. After accepting the things she gave him, he would chase her away.
At that time, Jiang Yueyao thought that this was just his personality.
After all, it's the same at home on weekdays.
But later, by chance, she heard him complaining to his classmates that she not only talked too much but also had too many things to do, which annoyed him greatly.
How could Jiang Yueyao not be sad?
From then on, she went to the academy to look for him less often...
When Jiang Yueyao thought about how she had worked so hard in front of him but got no thanks in the past, she wanted to slap herself twice.
It's grandma's legs, she eats hers and uses hers, and she still has to look at his mood?
No wonder Liu Ruyan always scolded her: "I think you are crazy."
It is true that a bystander sees more clearly.
Seeing that she ignored him, Lu Hengqing called her again: "Yaoyao, I'm talking to you, are you listening?"
Jiang Yueyao picked up the feather duster beside her and swept all over the counter without raising her head.
"What the hell is yelling here?"
Lu Hengqing's smiling face suddenly froze.
He took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Jiang Yueyao, don't go too far!"
"Too much?" Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but raise her voice. "Pei Yu, is ignoring you too much? Then you're so ungrateful, climbing up the social ladder, and now you want to kill your fiancée. You've done so many evil things, shouldn't you be cut into pieces?"
At this moment, there were several tables of guests sitting in the lobby.
Hearing the noise here, everyone couldn't help but look back.
Lu Hengqing's expression changed drastically: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Heh!" Jiang Yueyao stared at him and suddenly lowered her voice, speaking word by word, "Lu Hengqing, I feel sick every time I see you. The relationship between us is now just that of enemies. Don't dream of making me your concubine. I would rather marry a dog than you!"
As soon as the words fell, a low and cold voice came.
"Who are you marrying?!"
Jiang Yueyao turned around and looked at Lu Sui who strode in. Her originally disgusted face suddenly broke into a smile.
"Sir, you are here."
Lu Sui's gaze swept across her face and then fell on Lu Hengqing.
At this moment, Lu Hengqing's face changed drastically when he saw him.
He thought Lu Sui wouldn't come today...
Without time to think, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to greet her: "Third Uncle."
The man in front of him didn't say anything, but his gaze on him was as if substantial, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Just as cold sweat began to seep out of his forehead, a man's indifferent voice came from above his head.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Hengqing straightened up and hurriedly explained, "I got off work early today, so I wanted to come see Yaoyao."
The word "Yao Yao" made Lu Sui's face turn cold instantly.
"Lu Hengqing, the marriage certificate has been returned, the money has been paid, and there is no longer any relationship between you and her."
He paused for a moment and smiled coldly, "Do you still want to continue your relationship with her?"
Before Lu Hengqing could speak, Jiang Yueyao beside him said "Pooh" several times.
"Sir, why are you saying these unlucky things? Don't make me so sick that I can't eat."
"Continue your relationship with him?"
"I haven't lived enough!"
These words were unpleasant to the ear, and Lu Hengqing's face changed several times, but because Lu Sui was present, he did not dare to lose his temper.
He suppressed his anger and whispered, "Uncle San misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to come and see Yaoyao because of the friendship we had in Sucheng."
If he didn't know the truth, Lu Sui would have really thought that he was a man of affection and righteousness.
But at this moment, looking at his hypocritical face, his expression became even colder.
Jiang Yueyao standing by was even more disgusted and angry.
"Mr. Lu, please consider this as a plea from me. Please forget about the relationship we had in Sucheng."
"If you can't forget, I'll be restless day and night, afraid that one day you'll take advantage of our past relationship and have someone stab me again, leaving me to die with regret."
"Yaoyao, how could you frame me?" Lu Hengqing looked at her with a hurt expression, his face pale. "You're standing here peacefully. What do you mean by stabbing you a few times? What do you mean by dying with your eyes open? Are you having a nightmare and talking nonsense?"
Jiang Yueyao looked at him and really wanted to slap him a few times.
If it weren't for God's mercy, which allowed her to be reborn, she would have long been a pile of bones. After a long time, they would have been blown away by the wind and scattered, and the last bit of her existence in the world would have disappeared completely.
So Lu Hengqing, how the hell do you still have the nerve to speak so confidently here?
But she couldn't say these.
I can only stare at him with hatred, wishing my eyes could turn into sharp blades and pierce him through.
Lu Sui glanced at her and saw all her anger and grievance.
Looking at Lu Hengqing again, the coldness in his eyes deepened.
"Lu Hengqing, I don't care about what happened between you two in the past, but now, she works by my side, so she is mine. If you mess with her again, I will not forgive you!"
I've had a cold these past two days, so I took some medicine and went to bed early yesterday. I got up early this morning and wrote this update first~~
