Chapter 303 I Can't Help But Want to Slap You

"Sister Lu, you know, it's not easy to be a rich and powerful family." Qin Wanrou's voice was sincere, and in the eyes of others, there was not a trace of falsehood in it.

Lu Mingchao's eyes moved slightly, and he said calmly, "Life is not easy."

"I am just a commoner, and it is not easy for me to open a shop to make a living."

Qin Wanrou was sensitive to Lu Mingchao's cold attitude that kept people at a distance. There was an elusive dark light flashing in his eyes, and it was difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Does Sister Lu have any misunderstanding about me?"

"Miss Qin, you're worrying too much." Lu Mingchao said calmly.

Qin Wanrou first smiled apologetically, then lowered her head and whispered a few words to Aunt Qiao.

Aunt Qiao stopped, nodded to Lu Mingchao, and then walked away gracefully, her back looking as beautiful as a lotus flower.

"Lord Lerong, Miss Ming, could you allow me to talk to Sister Lu alone?"

"I have absolutely no ill will towards Sister Lu."

Lord Lerong and Mingtian both looked at Lu Mingchao.

Lu Mingchao nodded.

"I wonder what Miss Qin Wu wants to talk to me about?" Lu Mingchao asked first.

Hearing this, Qin Wanrou sighed softly, like an orchid shrouded in morning mist and peach blossoms dotted with dewdrops.

"Sister Lu, how can you believe that I have no ill intentions towards you?"

"I am engaged to your brother, and we will get married after the imperial examination next spring."

"I really want to be friends with you."

Lu Mingchao had a cold expression on his face and looked at Qin Wanrou without saying a word.

A moment ago, Qin Wanrou's biological mother, Aunt Qiao, was still planning for Grand Tutor Qin's Chaofu Qizhen Pavilion.

At this moment, Qin Wanrou could grab her wrist gloomily and say that she wanted to be friends with her sincerely.

There really is such a thing as eye contact between people.

"Miss Qin Wu really wants to be with your brother?" Lu Mingchao asked calmly.

Qin Wanrou answered without hesitation, "Yes."

"Brother is a scholar." Lu Mingchao smiled. "The character and reputation of a scholar are so important."

"How could you choose to destroy your brother's reputation if you sincerely wanted to be with him?"

“Miss Qin Wu, I am confused.”

"Please help me solve this puzzle, Miss Qin Wu."

Lu Minghua was really good to the original owner and was impeccable. He was a responsible brother.

Qin Wanrou's face turned pale instantly, and she looked miserable, like a withered flower that fell to the ground after a night of wind and rain. She explained in a panic, "Sister Lu, please believe me, I really didn't mean to ruin his reputation."

"I want to marry him and grow old with him."

"Husband and wife are one body, we prosper together and suffer together. How could I do something that hurts the enemy by 800 and myself by 1,000?"

"I……"

As he spoke, he burst into tears and choked up, "I don't know why I was caught by someone."

"I really don't want to."

Qin Wanrou's tears were boiling, and occasionally a few drops would fall on Lu Mingchao's wrist.

Lu Mingchao frowned.

The beauty is crying, very beautiful.

But she remained indifferent.

Lu Mingchao wondered if she was too cold.

No, not indifference.

She just clearly distinguishes between relatives and strangers, and right and wrong.

"Miss Qin Wu, your tears have soaked my sleeves."

Lu Mingchao's voice was clear and sharp, and upon careful listening, one could detect a hint of impatience.

Qin Wanrou froze for a moment, her eyes wide open in shock.

Lu Mingchao is indeed Lu Minghua's most beloved sister.

This cold and indifferent look is exactly the same.

Her tears were of no use.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a surge of cold air in the air.

Lu Mingchao pulled back his wrist and took a step back silently. "Miss Qin Wu, you can't pick yourself clean."

"Hearing you say these things, I can't help but want to slap you."

"You keep saying that you don't know if someone will find out, but you're acting as if if no one finds out, you'll be innocent and blameless."

"It was you and Lu Minghui who had deliberately plotted against my brother, which gave others the opportunity to push him."

"You knew that he had a beautiful woman in his heart, and you knew that he was a gentleman, but you took advantage of his integrity to achieve your wish."

"When your plan succeeded, did you feel smug and happy that your marriage was settled?"

"Even if you were caught, would you feel more ashamed and angry, or more relieved and at ease now that everything has been settled?"

"Miss Qin Wu, do you really need me to make my words clearer? It's fine to deceive others, but don't deceive yourself over time."

"If you want to befriend me and please my brother..."

"I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

"My brother treats me well and respects my wishes."

"Likewise, I will respect my brother's wishes in return."

Qin Wanrou took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears. "Except for my status, I am unworthy of him in every way."

"It is true that I was born out of wedlock, and it is true that my biological mother was a skinny horse."

"But I am also a legitimate young lady of the Qin family. I have learned everything that a lady from a noble family should learn."

"He is proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and song."

"My manners and etiquette have been praised by Lian Duan and the eldest princess."

"If he marries me, with the support of the Qin family, he will be even more powerful, riding on the wind and rising straight to the top, isn't that good?"

"Sister Lu, this is obviously a matter of great benefit with no harm at all. Can you help me persuade him?"

"I will definitely remember your kindness and find ways to repay you."

Lu Mingchao was almost laughing at Qin Wanrou's righteousness.

"Miss Qin Wu, he is the son of the Marquis of Yongning!"

"The Yongning Marquisate has been honored for a hundred years."

"The son of the Marquis of Yongning, he is a young man of talent and fame who has been worshipped by a great scholar."

"He is a rising star with a promising future, not someone who is just sitting there doing nothing and living off his parents."

"How come when you say it, it becomes a favor from a high position?"

"Why, didn't Miss Qin Wu choose you because you have a distinguished family background, noble character, and a great reputation for talent?"

"Could it be that you noticed that my brother has weak knees and a poor appetite?"

"Do you like to flatter and curry favor and eat free meals?"

"The Marquis of Yongning is a title bestowed by the Great Qian Emperor himself. It is a tribute to the founding achievements of the country that followed the Emperor in rising up and pacifying the world!"

“Even today, the glory of the past is no longer there.”

"But, brother is still the eldest son of the Yongning Marquisate, and the legitimate heir of the Marquisate."

"He wants to ride the wind, and he doesn't need the help of Miss Qin Wu."

"So, stop saying these nonsense words."

Lu Mingchao's loud words made Qin Wanrou's face change color from green to white to red.

Qin Wanrou pursed her lips tightly, and her lips were almost bloodless.

"Sister Lu has such a sharp tongue that she left me speechless."

Lu Mingchao smiled and said, "Maybe I am right."

"Miss Qin Wu, because you are so beautiful, I can tell you a piece of news for free."

Qin Wanrou: "What?"

Lu Mingchao's smile deepened. "The person who helped the plum blossom viewing banquet was Gu Huai."

"The person who brought disgrace upon you and your brother was Gu Huai."

"Don't ask me where I came from, and don't ask me if I have any evidence. Believe it or not, it's up to you."

She was truly disgusted by Gu Huai's self-righteous and affectionate face.

Qin Wanrou can still cause some trouble to Gu Huai.
