"Which person?"
A familiar voice came from behind. Without thinking, Zhao Mingmiao subconsciously replied, "That Lu..."
Wait, she feels like she's heard that voice before!
Zhao Mingmiao turned around abruptly, only to see Lu Chuan standing behind her with his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "Lu what?"
“Lu…” Zhao Mingmiao was flustered for some reason. She swallowed nervously and said in a moment of inspiration, “Wei Xiaobao in The Deer and the Cauldron. He has three wives and four concubines. He is not a good man.”
"Oh~" Lu Chuan drawled, looking at her with amusement. His playful expression was completely different from his gentle demeanor yesterday.
Zhao Mingmiao fidgeted with the hem of her dress, somewhat at a loss. Remembering Princess Zhaoyang not far away, she mumbled to Lu Chuan, "I have other matters to attend to, please excuse me," and left the tree.
Lu Chuan glanced at her with a smirk, but didn't say anything. He simply reached out and took the marriage fortune slip from the tree when her figure disappeared from sight.
Leaving things lying around is not a good habit. Lu Chuan thought, so he had to take it down, otherwise it would set a bad example for the children.
After they left, he went to the fortune teller's office. The fortune teller told him it was an extremely auspicious sign, but it was accompanied by danger. If he could get through it, they would be inseparable no matter what.
Lu Chuan lowered his eyes, a surge of joy welling up inside him. It was just a minor setback; as long as he stood by her side, no one could separate them.
But later, to avoid being suspected by him, she recklessly stabbed him with a dagger, and he personally imprisoned her in the dungeon. What seemed like the cruelest method was actually the best protection for them.
Lu Chuan instructed the jailer not to torture her and not to let her suffer the slightest grievance. The jailer nodded in agreement while wiping his sweat. There was nothing he could do; although this man was not old, he was a very powerful superior, someone who could be crushed with a single finger.
Therefore, Zhao Mingmiao was not punished; she only spent a few months in the imperial prison before the new dynasty came to power.
Others might not know why Lu Chuan joined the rebellion, but she did. She knew he simply wanted the new emperor to ascend the throne and then grant a general amnesty to clear her name.
She only remembered that he came with his back to the light, as gentle and radiant as ever. He said to her, "Ming'er, let's go home."
Thinking of this, Zhao Mingmiao lowered her eyes and smiled gently. They would soon be married, and she would be moving to the Minister's residence.
She finally has a family.
