This personality… is indeed somewhat similar, even the name is the same. Lu Jiaxue's perspective was more profound. He remembered someone like this, someone who would lose his temper for no apparent reason, and his explanations were both laughable and embarrassing. He used to tease her back then, and when she got angry, she ignored everyone, like a kitten's claws. It's clearly harmless, but it insists on scratching you, always wanting to make you hurt!
He liked her very much and loved her very much, but in the end he couldn't stay with her.
Sometimes he was even angry and desperate.
Thinking of this, he suddenly became more tolerant of the girl in front of him. After all, she was from the Luo family, so forget it. Keeping her mouth shut was also troublesome. Since she was smart, she would probably not get into trouble.
"Yining, your name is Yining, right?" Lu Jiaxue said these two words again, and it seemed a little strange. He said, "Come to me."
Zhao Mingzhu stared at Luo Yining in a daze.
Lu Jiaxue was a very temperamental person. He could be smiling and laughing with you one moment, and then stab you in the back the next. She thought Luo Yining had offended him and would definitely suffer. However, she didn't know what Luo Yining said that pleased him, as he didn't seem angry at all.
At this time, someone hurried into the hall, and the footsteps were getting closer.
Luo Yining heard his third brother's somewhat nervous voice: "Yining——"
Before he and Luo Chengzhang arrived, they had already roughly figured out why Lu Jiaxue was here, and they also knew that he had inquired about the twelve or thirteen-year-old girls in the mansion. It was not difficult to guess that Lu Jiaxue came to find Luo Yining, and his intentions were not good.
After Luo Shenyuan figured it out, he went to the main house, but Luo Yining had already left with Lin Hairu, so he hurried to the main house again.
When he heard Lu Jiaxue calling Yining over, he immediately called her over.
When Yi Ning turned around, Luo Shenyuan had already stepped forward and grabbed her. He placed Yi Ning behind him and saluted Lu Jiaxue, "Your Excellency, I have long heard of your great name."
Yi Ning had always felt that there was something very strange about Luo Shenyuan: no matter who he was with, he was neither humble nor overbearing. It had been like that before his grandmother, and now it was the same before Lu Jiaxue. He never seemed to be afraid of anyone, always forbearing and peaceful.
Luo Shenyuan looked up at Lu Jiaxue. Their future political rivals now had a huge disparity in status. It might have been her illusion, but Luo Yining always felt that the atmosphere between them was a little unusual, and her third brother was holding her hand so tightly that it hurt.
She could feel Luo Shenyuan's rapid breathing and knew that he must have figured out what had happened and immediately rushed to find her.
Seeing Luo Shenyuan protectively shielding Yi Ning behind him, Lu Jiaxue knew he was coming to her rescue. He knew Luo Shenyuan, of course. He had won the first place in the imperial examination at fifteen, and if it weren't for his grandmother's mourning, he might have even become a Jinshi at sixteen. Those who studied for officialdom and those from aristocratic families had always been two distinct factions. Only Cheng Lang possessed both.
"I've also heard of Mr. Luo San's name." Lu Jiaxue stroked the ring on his finger and said with a smile, "It's just a small gift for your young lady. There's really no need to be nervous."
He had his subordinates bring a box, and Luo Shenyuan took it directly without letting Yi Ning touch it. He nodded and said, "I thank the governor on behalf of my sister."
Luo Chengzhang asked Luo Shenyuan to take his daughter back. He stepped forward and saluted Lu Jiaxue: "Your humble servant is Luo Chengzhang, the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture."
As the superior, Lu Jiaxue just nodded, spoke to him indifferently, and no longer paid attention to Luo Yining.
She was just a little girl, and since she posed no threat, he simply forgot about her.
Yi Ning stood nearby and saw Luo Shenyuan still clutching her hand. A cool breeze blew through the hall, sending a chill down her spine. She'd been taking a risk by saying those words to Lu Jiaxue. If Lu Jiaxue got upset, she could be in trouble. Although she knew him somewhat and acted on her instincts, looking back now, it still felt like a near-death experience.
Lu Jiaxue couldn't see her, he probably couldn't see her.
Lu Jiaxue was on an inspection tour of Baoding Prefecture, so Luo Chengzhang and Mr. Luo naturally had to accompany him. Before leaving, Lu Jiaxue said to Zhao Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you should go back early too. Madam Zheng is thinking of you."
Zhao Mingzhu stood straight, but her smile was a bit coquettish: "I understand, I will go back the day after tomorrow."
The Luo family's people sent him to the carriage. Yining was relieved when he saw that his carriage with green curtains and black canopy had disappeared, and the guards who accompanied him had followed it.
Yi Ning couldn't help but glance at Zhao Mingzhu in the distance. She found Zhao Mingzhu looking at her with a somewhat cold gaze. She walked towards Yi Ning with her maids and servants and whispered, "The Marquis is not someone you can marry. Don't have any evil thoughts."
"What do you mean, Miss Mingzhu?" Yining just smiled, "I don't quite understand."
"I've seen many people like you." Zhao Mingzhu said calmly, "Aristocratic families are not what you imagine."
Zhao Mingzhu then left with his men.
"She's certainly not some proper rich girl," Luo Yixiu, who had a grudge against Zhao Mingzhu, couldn't help but taunt her. "That villain looks so smug. Isn't she just Governor Lu's adopted daughter?"
Yi Ning smiled and simply said, "Just ignore her."
The two of them talked as they walked, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Over there, Luo Shenyuan sent Lu Jiaxue out, his face looking grim. He strode forward and grabbed Yining's arm: "Yining, come with me."
Yining had never heard Luo Shenyuan so angry.
Luo Yixiu was frightened and stammered, "I'm still talking to Yining..."
