233, I am only a rogue to you
233, I am only a rogue to you
As for Lu Mingfei, after getting the account book that Zhao Lang had someone send to him, he couldn't help but open it.
You won’t know until you see it. Once you see it, you will be shocked because many of these account books contain false accounts.
This box of account books looks like it's only from last year. There are so many fake accounts from last year, so if we go back further, wouldn't there be even more?
In the early years, before Zhao Lang came to Kyoto Prefecture, all the people in Prince Ding's Mansion were in Beijun. This means that the industries here were all managed by the servants in charge.
It was only after Zhao Lang came to Kyoto Prefecture that these farms and shops were handed over to him. In the early years, Zhao Lang was still young and probably didn't take care of these farms and shops much, so these managers dared to use false accounts to deceive their superiors!
However, there was one thing Lu Mingfei couldn't understand. Did Zhao Lang not know about it, or did he know about it but just didn't care?
If Zhao Lang was young and couldn't understand the account books in the early years, he would have thought it was understandable. But Zhao Lang now doesn't look like someone who would suffer a loss, right?
"Forget it, let's go find that person and ask about this." Otherwise, with so many parasites under his control, no matter how much property he has, it will not be enough for these parasites to eat away at.
After flipping through several account books, he put them away, threw them back into the box, closed the lid, and went out of the room to call guard Ma to come over.
"Brother Ma, go back and send a message to your family's young master, asking him to come to my place when he has time."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Before turning around and leaving, Guard Ma didn't forget to ask one more question, "Master Lu, do you have any other instructions?"
"No more." Lu Mingfei waved his hand and asked Guard Ma to call someone. He then returned to the study to continue looking at the account book.
The person outside received the order and went to pass on the message.
***
Zhao Lang, who was at the Imperial College, had just separated from Qi Jun when he received a message from his subordinates. Lu Jieyuan asked him to come over when he had time!
I knew you would want to see me!
But Zhao Lang lowered his head and sniffed, discovering that he smelled of alcohol. How could a good student like him secretly drink in the Imperial College?! That was definitely not allowed.
Zhao Lang said to the people following behind him, "Let's go back to the palace."
"Yes, master." Upon hearing this, the guards behind him hurriedly asked one of their brothers to arrange a carriage for their master to return home.
After the carriage returned to Prince Ding's Mansion, Zhao Lang went back to the courtyard where he lived to take a bath.
The housekeeper learned that their master had returned to his room to bathe upon his return. He was very curious and asked the guard who had followed their master back, "Why did our young master come back to bathe so early today?"
"Guard Li, where is our young master going?"
Who is this person that is worthy for their prince to meet after he comes back to bathe and change clothes?
Could it be that... their prince is going to meet someone very important? For example, the future princess of Dingwang Mansion? The housekeeper discovered the truth about himself. Maybe, Dingwang Mansion will have a princess soon! What kind of girl is she?
"Don't meddle in the master's affairs." Guard Li glanced at the curious butler with a warning in his eyes.
"..." The butler glared at the brat, and left happily with the beautiful idea in his mind that their prince might go to see the girl he loved.
Guard Li, who was behind, saw the butler walking away with a sweet smile on his face, and his mind was full of questions. Could it be that their butler had taken the wrong medicine?
By the time Zhao Lang finished bathing and changed into new clothes, it was already dark outside.
Hearing the door open, Guard Li, who was standing at the door, saw their master coming out in a red dress. Those who didn't know would think that their master was going to meet his bride! "Master, you are wearing this..." To meet Lu Jieyuan, isn't it inappropriate?
"How is it? Does it look good?" Zhao Lang opened his arms to show his new clothes to his guards, with an expression on his face that said, "If you dare to say I don't look good, I will kill you."
"... looks good." Guard Li's words weren't entirely false. Their young master was handsome, and any clothes looked good on him. But bright red... this was the first time he'd seen their master wearing clothes of this color. It made their young master's face, which was already good-looking, look even more enchanting!
"Let's go." After hearing his guard tell him that he could leave, Zhao Lang walked away contentedly.
The housekeeper who was waiting outside knew that his guess was correct when he saw their young master coming out. He saw that their young master was wearing a bright red dress, with a smile on his lips and a happy look on his face.
The housekeeper quickly caught up and asked their young master with a smile on his face: "Young Master, it's getting dark. Where are you going?"
"Why, do I have to report to you wherever I go?" Zhao Lang glanced at the chubby butler and thought that the food in Prince Ding's mansion was too good. He would ask the kitchen to reduce the meal expenses so that the servants in the mansion would not get too fat.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." The butler could clearly hear the warning in their master's words.
But with the good wish that their Dingwang Mansion would soon welcome the Crown Prince's Consort, the butler trotted to catch up with their master and offered him advice, "Master, I've heard that young girls nowadays like rouge, powder, jewelry and snacks. If you meet a girl you like, give her more gifts."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang paused and looked at the housekeeper who was following him and giving him advice.
The housekeeper in their house was clever, but even clever people could make mistakes.
However, there is no girl that he likes, but there is a scholar that he likes.
"Hey, Young Master, is there anything I said wrong?" Meeting the Young Master's gaze, the butler asked with a bit of trepidation on his face.
Zhao Lang smiled, said "Okay, I got it," and continued walking out.
This time, the housekeeper didn't follow him. Seeing their young master hurriedly rushing to see his beloved girl, a happy smile appeared on his face. Their young master didn't say no just now, but said "I know"! This definitely means that there is a girl he likes!
***
When they arrived at the outer courtyard, Zhao Lang got on the carriage parked in the yard and left the mansion.
However, this time, his carriage did not go directly to the Lu family courtyard, but stopped at the largest treasure pavilion in Kyoto Prefecture. After picking out a pair of jade pendants, he got on the carriage again and left.
On the way, he asked someone to go to Xianglai Pavilion to pack up the wine and food to be sent to the Lu family courtyard. He changed to an ordinary carriage and then took this ordinary carriage to the Lu family courtyard.
When Lu Mingfei saw the person in red clothes appear in front of him, he was immediately stunned.
Having known Zhao Lang for so many years, he had seen this man most often wearing black clothes. He was often dressed in black and rarely wore white clothes. This was the first time he had seen Zhao Lang wearing red clothes.
The red dress worn by the handsome Zhao Lang not only did not take away Zhao Lang's beauty, but instead added several bright colors to his appearance... It was like a peach blossom that had been in bud and suddenly bloomed overnight. The color was rich and particularly attractive.
"Are you surprised to see me? Didn't you ask me to come see you?" Zhao Lang saw Lu Jieyuan staring at him in a daze. He deliberately brought his handsome face closer to Lu Jieyuan, "Or are you just stunned by me?"
"No, no." Lu Mingfei denied it subconsciously, not wanting to admit that he was stunned by the look in his eyes.
However, Zhao Lang obviously didn't believe Lu Jieyuan's denial. He moved closer, kissed Lu Jieyuan on the lips, and said with a smile, "It's enough for me to know. You don't have to admit it."
"you!"
After realizing that the man had kissed him again, Lu Mingfei subconsciously looked towards the door. Seeing that no one was outside, he breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at someone and asked, "Have you forgotten our agreement?"
"I didn't agree to the first one. I agreed to the last two." Zhao Lang raised a finger and shook his head. He still remembered Lu Jieyuan's three rules. He didn't agree to any of them, such as no kissing and no hugging.
“…” Lu Mingfei was very angry!
Seeing that he had angered Lu Jieyuan, Zhao Lang quickly put away the playful smile on his face and asked Lu Jieyuan, "Are you satisfied with the farm and shop I sent you?"
"Why did you ask people to send these things to me?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Of course it's... a betrothal gift for you." As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Lang anticipated Lu Jieyuan's fist coming down on him. He reached out and firmly grasped Lu Jieyuan's fist. He spun Lu Jieyuan around, hugged him from behind, and leaned in Lu Jieyuan's ear, asking, "Are you dissatisfied with the betrothal gift I sent you?"
"Yes, this number of farms and shops is a bit too few."
"We still have many good things in our palace. When we officially propose marriage, I will have everyone move all the things from the several warehouses in Prince Ding's palace to your house."
"..." Lu Mingfei was so angry that he elbowed Zhao Lang twice in the stomach.
"Oh, murdering your own husband." Zhao Lang grabbed Lu Jieyuan's elbow, circled Lu Jieyuan's other movable hand, and leaned over to kiss Lu Jieyuan on the cheek.
“…” Lu Mingfei.
Who can give him a stick? He wants to hit people with it!
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, turned his head and asked the man: "Isn't this your dowry? When did it become a betrothal gift? If it is a betrothal gift, I don't want it, take it back quickly." This is about a man's dignity, he, Lu Mingfei, can only marry but not marry!
"...That's fine, let it be a dowry. As long as I can be with you, I don't care what happens to me." Zhao Lang said indifferently.
Lu Mingfei grabbed Zhao Lang's hand, turned around in Zhao Lang's arms, and faced this man.
The two looked at each other. Seeing Zhao Lang's frank and indifferent expression, he couldn't help but laugh. He raised his hand and flicked Zhao Lang's forehead, "You look like a scoundrel!"
"I'm only a scoundrel to you." Zhao Lang grabbed Lu Jieyuan's hand and said with a smile. Author's words: Thank you Bole 9492239 (9492239) for your support, mua! To know more exciting content, please leave me a message on Liancheng Reading
