Chapter 153: Just an Orphan
Jiang Yueyao only knew that Shen Baoqing had been found.
She thought that the Bai family had found her, and she had no idea that Lu Sui was involved.
Seeing Shen Baoqing forcing her to make a choice so violently.
She smiled helplessly: "I choose you!"
"Very good!" Shen Baoqing breathed a sigh of relief. "When Lu Sui returns to Beijing, you will draw a clear line between you and him..."
"Ah?" Jiang Yueyao saw that she was not joking and asked hurriedly, "What did he do to you?"
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked, but once he did, Shen Baoqing could no longer suppress his overwhelming hatred for Lu Sui.
"What did he do to me... Ha... What did he do to me!!!" Shen Baoqing was so angry that his face was twisted. "Do you know that in order to return to Mobei, I crawled through a dog hole in the middle of the night and rode on horseback all day. I was tired and hungry. Thinking that I had finally left the territory of the capital, I just wanted to eat some noodles to fill my stomach..."
"Hey... guess who I met?"
Jiang Yueyao moved her mouth, looking at Shen Baoqing with sympathy and a look that made her want to laugh.
"Could it be Lord Lu? He told me the day before yesterday that he was leaving Beijing..."
"You guessed right, it's him, that damned King of Hell. He showed no mercy at all and had me tied up..." Shen Baoqing grabbed Jiang Yueyao's hand, "Yaoyao, he's a vicious person. He's not someone you can trust for the rest of your life. Break up with him, and I'll find you someone better."
Jiang Yueyao couldn't help laughing.
Shen Baoqing hugged Jiang Yueyao and scolded Lu Sui for the whole afternoon before he felt better.
Seeing that she was in a better mood, Jiang Yueyao left and returned to Wanhe Tower.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Wanhe Tower. As soon as she opened the curtain, she saw the third prince's carriage.
The Third Prince looked gentle and harmless, smiling at everyone. His reputation for virtue was well-known. Although Jiang Yueyao had only met him once, she had an inexplicable resistance to him from the bottom of her heart.
He got off the carriage and entered the lobby.
Xia Ying pulled her behind the counter and lowered her voice, "The Third Prince is here and asked to see you."
Jiang Yueyao frowned: "What do you want to see me for?"
"I didn't dare ask."
"Where is he?"
"Shifang Pavilion."
Jiang Yueyao took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and whispered to Xia Ying, "If I don't come out within a cup of tea, go and call me."
"Um."
Jiang Yueyao stepped into the backyard.
The backyard was full of guests again today, so Jiang Yueyao went straight to Shifang Pavilion. Unlike last time, there were several guards standing nearby this time.
As soon as she approached, she was stopped.
But before she could say anything, the Third Prince's voice came from inside the Shifang Pavilion: "Let her in."
The other party immediately let her go, and Jiang Yueyao stepped into the pavilion.
In the pavilion, there was only the third prince Chu Yi.
He ordered two dishes and a pot of wine and was drinking by himself.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao come in, he looked up at her, his eyes fell on her, and looked her up and down.
Jiang Yueyao suppressed her discomfort and bowed to salute.
"This humble lady greets His Majesty the Third Prince."
The third prince stood up and walked towards her.
Jiang Yueyao subconsciously wanted to step back, but the other party grabbed her arm.
"Manager Jiang, please don't be polite to me."
Jiang Yueyao took the opportunity to stand up and took a big step back.
The Third Prince withdrew his hand and looked at her, a smile on his lips: "Are you afraid of me?"
Jiang Yueyao lowered her head slightly: "Your Highness is a man of unparalleled dignity and dignity. I am a commoner with low status, so naturally I am afraid."
"Lu Sui is the Grand Tutor of Daye, a first-rank official. Why aren't you afraid of him?"
"He saved my life. He is my savior."
"Really?" The Third Prince stared at her and spoke slowly, "Just a lifesaver?"
Jiang Yueyao didn't know what he meant.
Dare not speak.
The third prince chuckled and then sat down in his seat.
"Pour me some wine."
Jiang Yueyao stepped forward, picked up the wine jug, and filled his cup.
Then he stepped aside, lowering his brows.
"Lu Sui and I are about the same age. I already have two sons and a daughter, but he doesn't even have a woman by his side. Do you know why?"
"I don't know."
"You really don't know?" The Third Prince nodded. "That's right. You've only been in the capital for so short a time, so it's normal that you don't know."
Jiang Yueyao remained silent.
She knew in her heart that the Third Prince would not come to chat with her out of boredom, he must have some purpose.
Seeing that she was not curious at all, the Third Prince smiled.
"You are so young, yet you are so patient. No wonder Lu Sui treats you differently. It seems you have some strengths."
"I am a humble girl, and Lord Lu is only giving me a place to stay out of pity because I am all alone."
"You don't have to keep belittling yourself. I know Lu Sui too well. He has always had very high standards. The noble ladies in the capital, all of them are graceful and talented, but none of them caught his eye."
This time, without waiting for Jiang Yueyao to speak, he continued.
"But, no matter how good he is to you, you are just a small shopkeeper in Wanhe Tower, and this is all he can give you."
Jiang Yueyao looked up and met his gaze.
The other person's eyes were smiling, but it made Jiang Yueyao extremely unhappy.
"Your Highness, please do not worry about the affairs between me and Lord Lu."
"Your Highness is just being kind and wanting to help you. After all, even if you are Lu Sui's concubine, you still need a certain status. With your current status, you are really not qualified."
"Your Highness, you are overthinking. I just want to earn some money and live a peaceful life. I never dare to think of anything else."
She bowed towards him and said, "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will withdraw."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left.
The Third Prince said nothing. He watched her leave angrily, and the smile on his face faded a little.
The people around him approached, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
"She's just a dog by Lu Sui's side. Why is the master so polite to her?"
"The little girl is quite pretty. I'm a gentle and gentle person, so I'm afraid I'll scare her." The Third Prince played with his wine cup. "Besides, such a good person might be useful to me in the future."
"Master, what you mean is..."
"Have you ever seen a woman around Lu Sui?"
"Never yet..."
"After she arrived in Beijing at the beginning of the year, Lu Sui placed her in Chunmen Lane. It used to be Lu Sui's private residence, and he would stay there for a few days when he had nothing to do. But he gave it to her for nothing. Who would believe him if he said he had no feelings for her?"
When the other party heard this, his eyes lit up.
"In that case, why don't we take the initiative and capture her to threaten Lu Sui and make him work for you."
"Don't act rashly. Lu Sui is a cold-blooded man. She's just an orphan, not that important to him." The Third Prince thought of something fun and raised his eyebrows. "But we can give him a try first."
"How do you try?"
The third prince motioned the other party to come closer and said a few words, and the other party nodded repeatedly.
"Your Highness is wise~"
At this moment, in the front hall, Jiang Yueyao quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaoxi.
"For Lord Lu, when will he receive it?"
"I'm not sure, but if it's fast, it will arrive in a day or two."
"The Third Prince came here with ill intentions today. I'm worried he might cause trouble."
