Chapter 169: Sudden Regret



Just as Chu Han was talking excitedly, Lu Wei suddenly felt that it was boring and interrupted him: "I don't want to get married."

"What?" Chu Han thought he had misheard and asked in surprise, "What did you just say?"

Lu Wei mustered up her courage, raised her head to look at Chu Han, and repeated word by word: "I said, I don't want to marry you."

Chu Han immediately realized that Lu Wei was not joking: "Why? Did I upset you in some way? Or what happened?"

Lu Wei taunted, "Yes, you made me unhappy, Your Highness Prince Liang, why did you lie to me? I know everything. You don't like me at all. You approached me on purpose because of my father. I will never marry a man who is full of calculations and has no sincerity. Go away. Just treat me as blind before. We don't have to see each other again in the future."

Without waiting for Chu Han to explain, Lu Wei directly ordered him to leave. The servants in the mansion blocked Lu Wei and forcibly asked Chu Han to leave.

Outside the Lu Mansion, Chu Han's face turned pale. Lu Wei's decision to break off the engagement was really beyond his expectations. Recalling everything that had happened before, he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

"Someone come."

As Chu Han called out, several people hiding in the dark appeared beside him.

"Why did Lu Wei suddenly change her attitude? Why did she want to break off the engagement?"

The men in black were all spies that Chu Han had placed in Lu Wei's camp to monitor Lu Wei and Lu Hanzhang.

The man in black bowed his head and said, "Lu Wei left the mansion in a hurry today. She first went to the palace, and then went to the Night Prince's Mansion to see Lu Yanluo. After she came back, she was a little excited and threatened to cancel the engagement. Time was short, and I haven't had a chance to report to Your Highness yet."

Entered the palace? Chu Han was surprised. Why didn't he receive any news about Lu Wei entering the palace? Where did she go after entering the palace? Fenghua Palace? But why did she go to Yewang Mansion? Could it be that Lu Yanluo was playing tricks again?

In an instant, many speculations flooded into Chu Han's mind. He was extremely angry. Lu Yanluo ruined his plans again!

This is intolerable, Chu Han gritted his teeth and knocked on the door of Lu Mansion again.

Lu Wei looked at the person who had left and returned, feeling only annoyance in her heart: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

Chu Han: "Weiwei, I know you went to see Lu Yanluo before, and I guessed that Lu Yanluo must have said something to you, so you want to break off the engagement with me, but Weiwei, you must recognize one thing, the Night Palace and I are incompatible, Lu Yanluo can't stand seeing me doing well, and everything she said has a purpose, you can't believe it."

"Besides, you've already lost your innocence in front of everyone on the Harvest Festival. Who else are you going to marry if not me?"

"King Liang is well said!" A female voice suddenly sounded outside. It was Lu Yanluo.

"Your Highness has the nerve to bring up what happened that day. It really opens my eyes."

"Lu Yanluo! What are you doing?" Chu Han stared at the woman who suddenly came in, gritting his teeth.

If I had originally only suspected that Lu Yanluo had done something behind this, now it was confirmed that she was involved in this matter.

Lu Yanluo didn't care about Chu Han's anger and threats in his words. "Your Highness, you are joking. How can I compare with your Highness in playing tricks? In order to get the support of Lord Lu, you did not hesitate to frame someone else's precious daughter. Now you have the nerve to say something like this. Qingbai, Your Highness: Jiuer is ridiculous?"

“You!” Chu Han was so angry that his face suddenly changed: “Okay! Lu Yanluo, you are so cruel. Remember, I will never let you down like this!”

"Your Highness, don't be so angry. I have received a piece of news. I heard that there is an iron mine in Huaizhou. This is a good thing, but it seems that Your Majesty knows nothing about it."

Chu Han's originally angry face suddenly changed, and he immediately became nervous: "How did you know?"

It is true that iron mines appeared in Huaizhou, because he was the one who sent people to look for them. However, he had his own selfish motives and did not report the matter to the emperor. Instead, he secretly organized a group of people to mine.

At this time, iron is a good thing. With iron, he has weapons and the confidence to fight Chu Xuan. But if the emperor knows about this, he will be finished.

Lu Yanluo smiled calmly, "It's a coincidence. One day I heard rumors that Jiangjun Mountain in Huaizhou was haunted. I don't believe in ghosts, so I sent people to check it out. Who knew that the investigation was so unpredictable? I found that someone was so bold as to secretly mine iron ore."

After Chu Han's past was exposed, he no longer dared to be arrogant. He ran away in embarrassment without saying a word.

Outside the door, Lu Hanzhang walked in and bowed to Lu Yanluo: "Princess, thank you for helping my daughter out today."

The news that Lu Yanluo and Chu Han both came to the Lu Mansion had long reached Lu Hanzhang's ears. However, out of respect for Lu Wei, Lu Hanzhang had never shown up, but he heard everything that was said in the hall.

Lu Yanluo: "Lord Lu, there is no need to be like this. Chu Han is narrow-minded. He will never let it go after suffering a loss from Miss Lu this time. If Lord Lu encounters any problems in the future, you can come to the Night Palace to find me."

Lu Hanzhang thanked him repeatedly, and then said seriously: "I am afraid that I cannot conceal the matter of Huaizhou Iron Mine that Princess mentioned. I must report this matter to Your Majesty. Please don't blame me, Princess."

Lu Yanluo heard the deeper meaning behind this. Lu Hanzhang thought that she did not report the matter of the iron mine to the emperor and was planning to embezzle it.

But there was no point in saying more, so Lu Yanluo still advised: "Chu Han already knows that the secret of the iron mine has been discovered, so he must have made some preparations. It is definitely not a wise move to report him now."

Seeing Lu Yanluo stop him, Lu Hanzhang was certain that the iron mine was indeed targeted by the Night Palace, and he was even more determined to report the matter to the emperor.

Lu Hanzhang said uprightly, "I have been loyal to Your Majesty all my life, and I will never conceal anything from Your Majesty. No matter what, I will report this matter to Your Majesty for your decision."

Lu Yanluo felt helpless. Lu Hanzhang was secretly telling her that although you helped my daughter, I would never stand on the side of the Night King. Since this man was so stubborn, Lu Yanluo gave up the idea of ​​persuading him and left.

After Lu Yanluo left, Lu Wei was very puzzled. Lu Yanluo had clearly helped the Lu family, so why didn't her father stand on the side of the Night King?

Lu Hanzhang sighed upon hearing this, and patted his precious daughter meaningfully: "Weiwei, the officialdom is like a battlefield, it is not as simple as simply standing on the side. Who can guarantee that if your father stands on the side of the Night King, the Night King will be able to ascend to the throne."

"If he succeeds, it's fine. If he fails, to the new emperor, daddy will be a traitor and will not have a good end. So the safest thing is to be loyal to the current emperor and always be a loyal minister, rather than taking shortcuts and trying to become a powerful minister."
