Chapter 21 Lessons
Jiang Ran ran as fast as he could, but still couldn't catch up with Lu Yu.
She is the worst at Qinggong, while Lu Yu has liked to show off since he was a child and has learned Qinggong the most seriously.
Seeing that Jiang Ran was chasing him from behind, Lu Yu deliberately walked and stopped, provoking her from time to time.
"Hey, isn't that Mr. Lu?"
"Oh, yes, Miss Jiang is chasing him again. I told you that what happened a while ago must have been a rumor."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly, I want to hear it."
"It's 'The Mandarin Ducks', you didn't even know that? The heroine's name is Jiang Ran, which just so happens to be the same as Miss Jiang Si's name. It's such a joke."
"Oh, that thing. I knew it was just a rumor, just a coincidence. How could Lord Lu be interested in someone who chases men on the street all day long?"
Listening to the gossip, Lu Yu became more and more proud.
Everyone in Chang'an knew that Jiang Ran was madly in love with him and would always chase after him. She would get jealous if he got even slightly closer to any girl, she was known for her jealousy.
He knew that Jiang Ran would never ignore him.
Seeing Jiang Ran stop, with his hands on his hips, panting, Lu Yu took out the bookmark from his pocket, raised it high and shook it: "Jiang Ran, come and chase me, why don't you chase me?"
Jiang Ran gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush up and kick him down to death.
"Miss, forget it. There are too many people here. If they make up some rumors, it won't be worth it."
Seeing that more and more people were sticking their heads out to watch the fun, Tao Li quickly grabbed Jiang Ran, fearing that she would suffer a loss in the heat of the moment.
Jiang Ran also understood that Lu Yu did it on purpose. He felt uncomfortable and was asserting his sovereignty.
In their relationship, Lu Yu would always be the one on top, while she could only look up to him and chase after him.
He couldn't stand the fact that Jiang Ran, whom he despised, dared to throw him away like trash. So he deliberately angered her and let others laugh at her to satisfy his sense of superiority.
Forget it, the bookmark is already dirty and she doesn’t want it.
But she must settle the account with Huaishanju. She will not let this go until she has shut down his shop since he bought and sold customized items without permission.
Jiang Ran turned and walked towards Huaishanju.
Before I had taken a few steps, I heard a wailing sound from above.
She looked back and saw Lu Yu falling from the eaves and landing heavily on a stall selling eggs. He was in a mess and holding his head and wailing.
Eleven flew down, snatched the white jade bookmark from Lu Yu's hand, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and handed it to Lu Weiqing beside him.
Jiang Ran, who had been pretending to be strong just now, felt so aggrieved when he saw this scene that his eyes instantly turned red.
The crowd automatically parted to make way.
Lu Weiqing only had Jiang Ran in his eyes. He walked straight towards her without any intention of caring whether Lu Yu was dead or alive.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Weiqing just asked a question, and two lines of tears flowed down Jiang Ran's face.
He didn't ask any more questions, but handed her a handkerchief.
Jiang Ran took it and covered his face with it, and the handkerchief was soaked in an instant.
Perhaps it was the citrus scent on the handkerchief that soothed her excited emotions. Jiang Ran gradually stopped crying and calmed down.
At this time, Lu Yu, who was stunned after falling, also came to his senses.
He struggled for a few seconds before finally getting out of the sticky egg liquid. The vendor next to him held him back, shouting, "You smashed all my eggs! You have to pay me! You're not allowed to leave!"
Lu Yu had never been so embarrassed before. He pushed the vendor to the ground with all his strength and pointed at Eleven, cursing, "You little bastard! How dare you hit me?!"
"I asked him to beat you." Lu Weiqing spat out five words coldly, and then shut Lu Yu up.
Jiang Ran sobbed and said, "It was him, Lu Yu. He stole my things."
"Stealing? Don't spit blood at me! How could I, the young master of the Lu family, steal your things?"
Seeing that the onlookers were whispering and pointing at him, Lu Yu became furious.
He faced the crowd and explained, "Jiang Ran clearly intended to give this bookmark to me, but I found it. She was too embarrassed to admit it, so she insisted that I stole it."
There was a sneer from the crowd, and a woman said loudly, "I thought so. It's just a trick to attract attention."
Jiang Ran was really aggrieved now. "No, I didn't give it to him. He deceived the owner of Huaishanju and took the bookmark I ordered."
"That's right, if you want to please Mr. Lu, just be frank and don't pretend to be wronged."
"Mr. Lu would steal things? What a joke."
The mocking voices continued, each one louder than the last, almost completely drowning out Jiang Ran's defense.
And Lu Weiqing's eyes never left Jiang Ran.
Lu Yu is his nephew. Will he believe her? Will he stand on her side?
Jiang Ran didn't dare to hope for it.
She didn't expect that during the few seconds when Lu Weiqing didn't speak, what he was thinking in his heart was that his voice was hoarse from crying, Lu Yu, unforgivable.
During the quarrel, Eleven had already grabbed the owner of Huaishanju like a chick.
As soon as the shopkeeper's legs touched the ground, he was terrified to find that so many people were staring at him, and standing in the center was Prime Minister Lu. He was so scared that his calves were shaking.
"Boss, let me ask you, did Miss Jiang order this bookmark from your shop?"
Lu Weiqing unfolded the handkerchief and let him take a look.
The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Yes."
"Can you see clearly?"
"Yes, that's right. It was Miss Jiang who decided it. It must be right."
The shopkeeper was very sure. He said that this was the first time he had encountered such an ugly pattern in all his years of business. How could he have remembered it wrong?
"Okay. Let me ask you again, did Miss Jiang tell you who this bookmark is for?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Not really."
"Then how did this bookmark end up in Lu Yu's hands?"
The shopkeeper was not stupid. Looking at the situation, he knew something must have gone wrong, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
He couldn't afford to offend anyone present.
He was in a dilemma and was suddenly frightened by Lu Weiqing's terrifying aura. He looked at the guard next to him who was carrying him on his shoulders and flying, and told the truth.
"Today, Mr. Lu came to my shop with another girl. I just mentioned it, but Mr. Lu insisted that it was a gift from Miss Jiang. He paid the balance and said he wanted to give Miss Jiang a surprise. I had no choice."
The shopkeeper said this in a low voice, not daring to look at Lu Yu, and just hid in the corner with his neck shrunk.
"Hey, be careful with your words. What do you mean I have to?!" Lu Yu got anxious and pointed at the shopkeeper, about to go up and argue with him.
"That's right! Who else can Jiang Ran send it to?"
"Just tell me, what piece of everything she ordered from your store wasn't meant for me? Can you tell me?"
"Uncle, please give me your opinion."
Before Lu Yu could walk over, Eleven grabbed his hands behind his back, and his knees went weak and he fell to the ground.
"This bookmark is not for you."
Lu Yu widened his eyes and looked at Lu Weiqing in disbelief.
"It's Miss Jiang, she wants to give it to me."
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yu's face turned pale and he struggled to shout, "Impossible, this is impossible."
"Isn't that embarrassing enough? Take him back and punish him according to the family rules."
There were eggs and dust everywhere. Eleven thought Lu Yu was dirty, so he picked up a sack and put it on him. Then he raised his hand, carried him on his shoulder, and flew away using his lightness skills.
"Please spare my life, sir. Please spare my life. I really didn't know what was going on. I was bewildered for a moment."
The shopkeeper had already collapsed to the ground in fear. Seeing Lu Weiqing looking at him, he quickly stood up and kowtowed to the ground. He wanted to slap himself a few times. Why did he talk so much? Why did he talk so much?
He really has a grievance but dares not complain.
Mr. Lu spent three thousand taels. How could he have imagined that there were so many people with unique aesthetic tastes, and that someone would be willing to spend so much money on such an ugly thing? It was really weird.
Seeing that his head was broken, Jiang Ran was afraid that someone would accuse Lu Weiqing of bullying the people, so he quickly stepped forward to plead, "He didn't mean to do it. Just return my deposit."
Lu Weiqing glanced at the shopkeeper and said calmly, "As you wish."
"Thank you, Miss Jiang. Miss Jiang is so magnanimous. I will always remember this."
The shopkeeper kowtowed several times to express his gratitude, then quickly got up and went back to the store to get the banknotes.
The crowd also dispersed. Jiang Ran turned around and saw Lu Weiqing holding a handkerchief and wiping the white jade bookmark bit by bit.
My face started burning for some reason.
