He leaped down from the wall, landing easily and nimbly, giving her another fright. "Aren't you afraid of being killed by the fall?"
He was about to laugh at her, and looked at her with his hands behind his back, raising his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will complain?" He felt very relaxed.
"I'm not afraid." She shook her head seriously. "You sneaked in here, how dare you show yourself in public? And you don't look like the son of a prefect."
At that time, Lu Jiaxue was hanging out with the prefect's son, and he was not much different from the other two. Seeing that she looked like a peach and was fun to watch, he teased her: "Are you afraid that I will flirt with you?"
When she heard his words, she became more alert and stepped back cautiously with the tea in her hand, as if he were a pervert.
He even deliberately took a few steps closer with an ambiguous attitude, and she turned and ran away.
Then she knocked over the tea and was scolded by her grandmother.
He was watching her at that time and thought it would be fun to propose to her when she reached the age of marriage.
Later, when the marriage proposal was made, Lu Jiaxue felt itchy. When he married her, he was surprised to see her dignified and virtuous wife. Only as they spent more time together did she gradually let down her guard, like a cat probing its surroundings, quietly revealing her true nature. Lu Jiaxue, feeling affection for her, immediately acted oblivious, even accepting. This completely lowered her guard.
So the cat was not only willing to show its claws, but also willing to sleep on his lap and even scratch his trouser legs, because it had already determined that he was harmless.
After hearing his words, Luo Yining was stunned for a long time.
She never knew that Lu Jiaxue had ever seen her, and even that marrying her was his intention.
Lu Jiaxue's face was heavy, his voice hoarse. "Why do you think I wanted to kill you? Was it to provoke Xie Min? ... I put so much thought into marrying you. After you died, I didn't even dare to look at your tablet. Do you think I would kill you for this?"
Luo Yining remained silent for a long time, vaguely recalling that memory. The night was as cold as water, and she stood stiffly. Lu Jiaxue leaned his head against her waist and spoke softly, "Yining, come back to me... I won't pursue anyone else."
"How should I tell you..." Luo Yining took a deep breath, put her hand on his shoulder, and gently pushed him away. "Don't tell me that I can't trust you anymore, and I don't like you anymore. You are already Governor Lu, my adoptive father, and I am already married. This is impossible, do you understand?"
Lu Jiaxue sneered, "So what if I'm your adoptive father? I don't mind being your adoptive father." He stood up, approached Luo Yining, and said, "But the idea of marrying someone else is very uncomfortable to me. I tell you, as long as Luo Shenyuan is your husband, I will never let him go."
"You bastard!" She suddenly kicked him. "I've said so much to you these past two days, but you're not listening! Let me go back!"
Lu Jiaxue let her hit him, unmoved. Instead, he said with a smile, "Are you finally angry?"
Luo Yining felt that this was useless for the military officers, especially Lu Jiaxue. She took a breath and rested for a while, then turned and walked out the door.
Unexpectedly, the two subordinates were still there. When they saw her suddenly rush out, they looked at each other in surprise.
Luo Yining didn't want to look at them and walked straight out. Under the veranda, several maids assigned by Lu Jiaxue stopped her and didn't allow her to walk around.
Ye Yanze finally caught sight of the legendary woman and silently gave the deputy general a thumbs-up. A fleeting glimpse revealed her reputation. And judging by her appearance, she possessed quite the temper. At least this was the only one he had ever seen who dared to kick Lu Jiaxue.
Lu Jiaxue walked out of the inner room slowly, looking very happy. He said loudly, "I'm going to take you out tomorrow. Go back and have a good rest."
There was only the sound of the wind outside.
Luo Yining paused when she heard his words. She had been under constant surveillance and couldn't leave. If Lu Jiaxue was willing to take her out, this might be a perfect opportunity.
She looked at the maids behind her. They were all tall and strong, one bigger than her. Lu Jiaxue was very wary of her.
But where exactly is he taking himself?
In the study, Ye Yan hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "My Lord, this is our..."
"It's none of your business." He waved his hand. "Just don't mess with her."
He can provoke her, but he doesn't want others to provoke him.
"Yes, yes." Ye Yan was very self-aware and said quickly, "If you have something to do, why don't I come to see you tomorrow?"
"Don't worry." Lu Jiaxue continued, his eyes a little colder, "Send this to the Luo family."
He pointed to the letter on the table and said, "I will go to the palace to see the emperor the day after tomorrow. Tell Luo Shenyuan that this is the deadline."
Even though Luo Shenyuan was only her brother and they were not actually husband and wife, he did not like anyone claiming to be Luo Yining's husband.
*
At the Luo family's house in Fuxue Hutong, the setting sun took away the last ray of its light.
Lin Hairu patted Nan'er's back and said worriedly, "Yining has been a guest at the Yang family for several days. It's not proper. You've been married for less than a month, you can't leave your room empty... I'm easy to talk to, but your father will be back the next day. Aunt Qiao and Sister Lian will definitely be there. If he says a few more words, your father will definitely be unhappy."
Luo Shenyuan was worried about Lin Hairu, so he made an agreement with Mrs. Yang. No matter who asked, she would say that Luo Yining was visiting her at home.
Nan Ge'er hugged his little tiger pillow and looked at his brother blankly. He noticed his mother was talking and reached out his little hand to grab her mouth: "Sister?"
"Call her sister-in-law." Lin Hairu corrected again without getting tired of it.
"I know. I'll bring her back soon. Don't worry." Luo Shenyuan put the letter he received under the paperweight, teased Nan Ge'er for a few words, and then said, "Is the monthly 1,500 taels of silver in the mansion enough? If not, please tell me."
