Lu Wei is Lu Hanzhang's only daughter. She has been raised with great care. She has never encountered such a sinister thing before. She stood there in a daze for a moment, not knowing what to do.
In a trance, she only heard Chu Han and Concubine Xian repeatedly mentioning a name, Princess Ye, Lu Yanluo. There was fear in their words. Lu Wei's heart moved, and she secretly left Fenghua Palace.
Night Palace.
When Lu Yanluo heard from the servant that Lu Wei, the daughter of Dali Temple Minister Lu Hanzhang, was asking to see her outside the door, she was quite surprised and quickly asked someone to bring Lu Wei in.
In the reception room, Lu Wei walked in with a pale face and a dazed look.
Lu Yanluo was a little surprised. She was completely different from the charming and confident girl she met at the Harvest Festival that day.
"Miss Lu? What are you doing..."
Lu Wei stared at Lu Yanluo in a daze, as if she had just come to her senses. She suddenly took a few steps forward and grabbed Lu Yanluo's hand, and asked excitedly: "What kind of person is Chu Han? Why is he so nice to me! He must not have lied to me, right?"
Seeing Lu Wei like this, Lu Yanluo guessed that she must have known something, so she simply wanted to find an opportunity to tell Lu Wei Chu Han's true identity, and this was just right.
Lu Yanluo pulled her hand away from Lu Wei's, then picked up the teacup beside her and put it in Lu Wei's hand.
When a person is panicking, holding something movable in her hand can help her calm down.
"How can I describe Chu Han? Actually, even if Miss Lu hadn't come to see me today, I would have found a chance to meet Miss Lu and tell you Chu Han's true face so that you wouldn't get sucked deeper and deeper. But now it seems that Miss Lu has obviously made some guesses, right?"
Lu Wei lowered her head and stared at the teacup in her hand. When Lu Yanluo asked questions, her eyelids twitched rapidly and her expression became evasive, refusing to face reality.
Lu Yanluo sighed, and without her needing to answer, she continued, "Chu Han's mother, Concubine Xian, was once an extremely unpopular concubine. Since Chu Han was born, the mother and son have depended on each other, living in a harem full of conspiracies."
"It may be that years of forbearance have made Chu Han timid, cowardly and incompetent. He has to listen to Concubine Xian's wishes in many things. Hearing this, you may think that this is just the bitter story of a down-and-out prince. It's just that people are greedy. In order to check and balance Chu Xuan, His Majesty took Concubine Xian and Chu Han out of the harem."
Lu Yanluo smiled sarcastically, "Once they gained power, they began to have delusions and set their sights on the throne. In order to obtain the throne, they would not hesitate to pay any price. Miss Lu, have you ever doubted the process of your acquaintance with Chu Han? Why did he want to get close to you? It's only because the person standing behind you is the current Dali Temple Minister Lu Hanzhang, and he is eyeing the power in your father's hands."
Lu Wei's reluctance to believe at first gradually turned into disbelief. Her eyes were wide open and unfocused, and her whole body was shaking.
Since so much had already been said, Lu Yanluo simply hardened her heart and told him what happened on the Harvest Festival.
"On the day of the Harvest Festival, it was Chu Han who came up with the idea of boating on the lake. And when the sea was calm, didn't Miss Lu wonder how she fell into the water? How was she knocked unconscious after falling into the water? Poor Jingyuan Marquis, I'm afraid he still doesn't know who he took the blame for."
Lu Wei's lips trembled, as if she had used up all her strength, and she slowly shook her head: "No... No, how could it be possible that he did it? He saved me! No, I have to go find him in person and ask him clearly!" After saying that, she was about to leave.
Lu Yanluo frowned, took a few steps forward, and stopped the man: "Miss Lu, true or false, I think Miss Lu has already made a judgment in her heart, otherwise you wouldn't have come here. Now that things have come to this, what's the point of questioning Chu Han again? What answer do you want to get from him?"
"I..." Lu Wei stood there in a daze. Lu Yanluo's words were like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing her burning anger.
Yes, now that things have come to this, why should she go to Chu Han again? Should she continue to listen to his lies?
Seeing that Lu Wei finally calmed down and was no longer impulsive, Lu Yanluo slowly breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her: "There are thousands of good men in the world. It may not be a bad thing for Miss Lu to stop the loss in time when things are still under control."
If Lu Wei only saw Chu Han’s true face after they got married, that would be painful.
After a while, Lu Wei nodded. After the extreme anger and excitement, she fell to the ground exhausted and kept repeating: "Yes, stop the loss... I want to break off the engagement with him, break off immediately, break off immediately!"
At this moment, after learning the truth, Lu Wei was left with only a deep feeling of disgust towards Chu Han, and she only wished she would never see this person again in her life.
After bidding farewell to Lu Yanluo, Lu Wei returned to the mansion in a daze again.
At this time, Lu Hanzhang was anxiously sending people to look for Lu Wei everywhere.
Seeing that Lu Wei returned safely, Lu Hanzhang was relieved. However, Lu Wei's face looked very bad. He didn't know if it was because he mentioned Chu Han before and she was still unhappy.
Lu Hanzhang looked at Lu Wei cautiously and said softly: "Weiwei, what Dad said before may be a bit harsh. Don't blame Dad. What happened between you and King Liang..."
"I want to break off the engagement with him."
Lu Wei calmly interrupted Lu Hanzhang and wanted to cancel the engagement, which really shocked Lu Hanzhang.
"This... Weiwei, are you sure you're not angry with daddy?"
Hearing her father's cautious tone, Lu Wei's heart, which had been tense all the way, suddenly felt extremely aggrieved, and she burst into tears in Lu Hanzhang's arms.
This was the first time in her life that she had suffered such a great injustice.
"Dad, you're right. Chu Han...he doesn't really like me at all. I don't want to marry him!"
Seeing his daughter crying so miserably, Lu Hanzhang no longer bothered to ask Lu Wei why she suddenly changed her mind. He just kept comforting her: "Okay, okay, if Weiwei says she won't marry, then we won't marry. Daddy will choose a better man for you in the future."
After crying for a long time, Lu Wei finally calmed down. Unexpectedly, the doorman came over and reported that Chu Han had arrived.
When the father and daughter heard the name, they were both filled with resentment. Without thinking, Lu Hanzhang wanted to ask Chu Han to leave, but was stopped by Lu Wei: "Dad, let your daughter handle this matter herself."
Chu Han was respectfully invited in. Lu Wei sat in the hall with an indifferent expression, listening to Chu Han speak.
"Mother has already prepared the betrothal gifts and will soon ask father for permission to marry. Weiwei, you can just stay in the mansion and wait for your wedding. We will be married soon."
Lu Wei stared at the mouth opening and closing in front of her, and only then did she realize that Chu Han was so hideous and disgusting.
