The carriage of Prince Rong's Mansion slowly stopped at the door. Duke Ying narrowed his eyes, straightened his sleeves, took a step forward, and then saw Lan Shuang get off the carriage first.
She was stunned. She didn't expect Lan Shuang to really come. She secretly thanked herself for her foresight and quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, I have met you."
Lord Sun, who was behind, also paid his respects with his entire family.
Lan Shuang raised her hand: "No need to be polite."
After saying that, she turned and held out her hand to the carriage, "Come down."
Jiang Luqing in the crowd felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He watched Jiang Lusheng get off the carriage, put his hand on Lan Shuang's palm, and then Lan Shuang held his hand and slowly got off the carriage.
The silver-red robe was soft and delicate, rising and falling in the air, and the rings and bracelets on the waist jingled, striking Jiang Luqing's heart again and again.
Before, Jiang Lusheng was just an ignorant bumpkin from a farm, but now he has become the Prince of Rong. What he wears and what he wears are beyond his imagination.
But this marriage should have been his!
He should be the one standing next to Prince Rong and being admired!
All of this was snatched away by Jiang Lusheng!
Jealousy grew wildly, coiling in his heart like a poisonous snake, making him unable to see anything else.
He didn't even realize that the person had walked into the mansion, and only came to his senses when his father called him.
"What are you thinking? The prince has already gone in." Fang Xiaojun whispered, "It's a good thing the prince didn't see it. Otherwise, what if he gets upset by your disrespect?"
However, Jiang Luqing's focus was obviously different from his. He asked blankly, "Didn't Your Majesty notice me?"
Fang Xiaojun rolled her eyes. "Do you really want her to see you? Don't you want to marry her? What if she notices you and wants to marry you? You'll marry her and become her mistress?"
"It's not impossible..." Jiang Luqing muttered in a low voice.
Fang Xiaojun didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"
"Nothing, come on, Dad, let's go in quickly."
Jiang Luqing touched his sleeve and strode after him.
Fang Xiaojun was confused: "Why is this child acting so strangely?"
…
The Duke of England welcomed the guests into the main hall, and the whole family sat together neatly, leaving the top seats for Jiang Lusheng and Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang was not polite. After sitting down, she held Jiang Lusheng's hand and said, "I am accompanying Zhengjun back home today. I am not doing it as a prince. Once we are married, we are a family. There is no need to be restrained in private."
"Yes, seeing that the prince treats Lusheng so well, I am very happy."
The smile on the Duke of England's face at this moment was genuine. She had thought a lot after Jiang Lusheng got married. It was she who had stubbornly blamed his father's death on a baby in swaddling clothes who knew nothing. To put it bluntly, she was taking her anger out on the baby, so she threw the baby on the farm and left him there without caring about him.
But how innocent was the child? If his father were still alive, he would probably blame and hate her.
After years of untying the knot in her heart, she felt more and more regretful, and always felt a little guilty when facing Jiang Lusheng.
Jiang Lusheng saw it but ignored it. Who says that people will forgive you if you regret and come to your senses?
"Lusheng is blessed." Lord Sun said with a smile, "Lusheng and the prince are truly a match made in heaven."
Jiang Lusheng's attitude towards Lord Sun was actually better. He smiled and nodded when he heard the words, "Lord, you are so kind."
Everyone started chatting with each other.
Jiang Luqing, however, fell silent, contrary to her usual behavior, sitting in the corner as quiet as a painting.
Lan Shuang glanced at him without paying much attention.
At noon, the meal was ready. The Duke of England set the table directly in the main hall, and the whole family sat together to eat. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Lusheng was called to the study by the Duke of England. He had something to say to him, so Lan Shuang let the servant lead the way to Jiang Lusheng's previous residence to rest.
Jiang Lusheng's residence is a bit remote, but the environment is good, clean and tidy.
The room was cool even without an ice basin. Lan Shuang leaned on the beauty couch. After lying there for a while, she felt sleepy and couldn't help closing her eyes.
The summer cicadas were chirping noisily, but Lan Shuang hadn't fallen asleep yet. In her half-awake state, she felt that there was another person in the room.
She thought it was Jiang Lusheng and didn't take it seriously, mumbling, "I'm so sleepy."
The person who came in paused, even holding his breath for a moment, then strode forward and sat down beside the couch, bringing a gust of rich fragrance.
Lan Shuang frowned, suddenly realizing something was wrong. She opened her eyes and tried to sit up, but her head was dizzy and everything went black.
"Host, there's something wrong with the fragrance on him! Hold your breath!" 888 said hurriedly, looking at the data analysis: "This fragrance contains drugs and aphrodisiacs. If you smell it for too long, you might lose your mind."
Lan Shuang's face darkened. She bit the tip of her tongue, and the stinging pain sobered her up. She grabbed the person's hand and looked at him intently, "Jiang Luqing? What are you doing?"
Jiang Luqing was stunned, "Why are you..."
How could he still move? Didn't that person say that this drug was extremely potent and would cause one to lose their mind after smelling it?
Judging from his expression, he knew about it, so he did it on purpose.
Lan Shuang's eyes became fierce, and she increased her strength, throwing the man to the ground.
After doing all this, her breathing became rapid and heavy, and she could hardly lift her hands.
"Someone come here—Meng Yu!"
"There's no one outside, Your Majesty. I've transferred them all away with some excuse."
Jiang Luqing got up from the ground with a wronged look on her face. "Don't you know how I feel about you, Prince? Why are you so cruel to me?"
Lan Shuang closed her eyes and said, "888, exchange the antidote for me."
"The antidote is very expensive. Once you redeem it this time, your points will be gone."
"Dui!"
She doesn't want to be involved with multiple men in a confused manner.
"Okay, the antidote—"
"Jiang Luqing."
A suppressed angry voice sounded from outside the door, and Lan Shuang immediately changed her tone: "No."
888: “…” He almost pressed the redemption button.
"My humanoid antidote is here."
Lan Shuang turned her head to look at the door. Jiang Luqing's face changed. He didn't know if his head was kicked by a donkey. He ripped open his clothes and was about to pounce on Lan Shuang.
Lan Shuang: “…”
"My Lord, I really like you, please accept it——"
Before Jiang Luqing could touch Lan Shuang, someone grabbed her collar and threw her out. She didn't even stop when she hit the table, and knocked it over with a "bang".
"ah--"
Jiang Luqing screamed in pain and lay on the ground, unable to get up.
"You really think your life is too long." Jiang Lusheng laughed in anger, bent down, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
Jiang Luqing widened her eyes in fear, "You hehehe——"
Breathing became increasingly difficult, Jiang Luqing's face flushed purple, and he was about to pass out. Lan Shuang hurriedly said, "Leave him alive!"
This sentence just managed to wake Jiang Lusheng up. The bloodshot in his eyes faded and he suddenly loosened his grip. Jiang Luqing fell to the ground like a piece of rag and fainted.
Jiang Lusheng turned around and walked quickly to the side of the couch, looking at Lan Shuang worriedly: "How is it?"
Lan Shuang held his hand and said weakly, "Help me."
