Chapter 14 Miss Lu, what do you think of me?
The next day, Lu Qiaoxiao got up early and put the freshly steamed peach blossom cake into the snack box.
Yunxi asked curiously, "Where are you going, Miss? Do you want me to prepare anything else?"
Lu Qiaoxiao glanced at her and said meaningfully, "I'll be back soon, no need to follow me."
As soon as Lu Qiaoxiao left, Yunxi followed.
As she followed, she felt something was increasingly wrong.
Isn’t this the direction where Prince Ding’an’s residence is in the capital?
Yunxi took a deep breath. She had accomplished another feat.
She hurried back to the Lu Mansion and went straight to Xiu Yue Tower.
Aunt Wang and Lu Qingyue were doing needlework, while Lu Xiuzhu was eating melon seeds boredly on the side.
Seeing Yunxi coming over in a hurry, Wang Xiuwan asked, "But what trouble did that person cause again?"
Yunxi told Lu Qiaoxiao everything about how he got up early in the morning to make pastries by hand and personally delivered them to Prince Ding'an's mansion.
Lu Xiuzhu cursed loudly, "This shameless thing just broke off the engagement with the Pei family, and now she's trying to seduce Prince Ding'an. She's really like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!"
Lu Qingyue frowned. Although she did not dare to agree with her third sister's dirty words, she did think so in her heart.
She exchanged a knowing look with Wang Xiuwan, but said nothing.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Lu Xiuzhu glared and asked, "What? Are we going to allow this slut to seduce His Royal Highness Prince Ding'an?"
Wang Xiuwan was a little annoyed. She took Lu Xiuzhu's hand and whispered, "You should be more low-key. Look at you, you don't act like a girl at all. You keep calling her a bitch and a slut. If it gets out, your reputation will be ruined."
Lu Xiuzhu nodded twice, but sneered in her heart: Yes, how can I beat you two? You are the real mother and daughter. You say one thing in front of me and another behind my back. You avoid me when there is any good thing.
The one arranged for me was a playboy from the Duke's family, and for Lu Qingyue, she had to marry a prince.
Haha, let’s wait and see, on the eighth day of next month, we’ll see who can beat whom.
Lu Xiuzhu couldn't help but think of yesterday. There was clearly an element of surprise in Wei Yan's eyes when he looked at her.
She is confident enough about her beauty.
Wang Xiuwan once said that if she didn't speak, she would be even more charming than her second sister.
Then she didn't say anything, but used her eyes to express her feelings. Who can't do that?
Lu Qiaoxiao only walked around the gate of Prince Ding'an's Mansion and then turned to walk towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Just as Shen Yuheng said, she entered from the front gate of the mansion and had a smooth journey.
The servant from the Prime Minister's Mansion led her to the backyard.
Shen Yuheng was playing the zither under a pear tree. With a light plucking of his fingertips, beautiful music flowed out from the strings.
The ink-black hair wrapped in the plain white clothes is as beautiful as a painting.
Lu Qiaoxiao was slightly stunned. Her mother taught her to play the zither when she was a child, and she had a very good skill in it.
But later she married into the Pei Mansion and was secretly poisoned by Lin Miaofu, which lasted for many years.
Her bones became increasingly softer, and when she plucked the piano, she no longer had the same free and powerful rhythm as before.
"Miss Lu, you're here."
Lu Qiaoxiao blushed and walked over with the lunch box.
"The Prime Minister can also play the piano." She made small talk.
Shen Yuheng's expression remained distant and indifferent: "A little bit."
End of topic.
Lu Qiaoxiao was fidgeting, clutching his left and right covers with both hands, feeling extremely awkward.
"Miss Lu." Shen Yuheng withdrew his hand from the strings and looked at her.
"Hmm?" Lu Qiaoxiao responded subconsciously, but felt that the person in front of him paused.
"Now that the issue of your breaking off the engagement with the Pei family has been resolved, what are your plans for the future?" The man's face was full of pity, and his emotions were hard to understand.
Lu Qiaoxiao frowned slightly.
What are your plans?
She couldn't say that she was living this life again to scheme, to seek revenge, and to "repay" those who had hurt her in the past.
Of course, the most important thing is to keep those around you safe.
Seeing that she was silent for a moment, Shen Yuheng's eyes flashed with a hint of restraint. He said softly: "If you have any trouble, you can come to me at any time."
Lu Qiaoxiao felt warm in his heart. Who said that he looked gloomy and sinister? He was clearly a Buddha who came to save all living beings.
The air was silent for a moment. She had her hair styled in a double bun today, with almond eyes and rosy cheeks, looking lively and cute. A barely perceptible blush crept up the tip of Shen Yuheng's ear. He looked away and said calmly, "I called Shi and he swam over here. He'll be here soon."
"I guess he hasn't been home since he started working at the Hanlin Academy."
Lu Qiaoxiao was stunned, and his eyes were immediately covered with a layer of mist.
"Thank you, sir. It has indeed been a long time since my brother and I last saw each other."
She thought to herself that if we follow the rule that three days for ghosts is three years for the human world, then it must have been several years.
She looked up with some doubt. Shen Yuheng was indeed the Prime Minister and he knew the art of reading people's hearts the best.
There are many ways to win people's hearts.
As long as he is willing to take A-di with him, she is willing to do anything.
When she thought of her brother, her eyes became warm.
The last time I saw him, he was a cold corpse.
When she went to the horse trail to collect his body, his blood had run cold and his eyes were closed.
She didn't want to experience that powerless feeling of being separated by life and death again.
While my thoughts were wandering, a figure walked in from outside the door.
The boy's eyes were like black jade, and there was a carefree smile on the corners of his mouth. Even the formal official robe on his body could not suppress the youthful and free spirit.
Lu Qiaoxiao rushed out and hugged Lu Shiyou, her tears immediately wet the front of her clothes.
"Sister, stop hitting me. You're hitting me right after we met. I'm going to vomit blood." Lu Shiyou raised his hand and quietly wiped the corner of his eyes, but a smile was on his lips. He still let the person in front of him smear his snot and tears on his clothes.
Lu Qiaoxiao raised his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab his ear, and scolded: "You little bastard, you didn't even write a letter home, do you know how worried I am about you!"
Lu Shiyou glanced at her: "Oh, you're worried? Didn't you say every day when we were at home that you would beat me out with a big stick?"
Lu Qiaoxiao's eyes reddened, and she softened her tone, "Yes, now that you're back, I'll naturally teach you a lesson."
After saying that, her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked back, only to find that the seat where Shen Yuheng had just sat was empty, and the spring breeze blew pear-white petals across the bluestone surface.
