Chapter 177 He Wants to Change Strategy
Ah Man said with a twisted face: "His Highness forced me to bring him into the mansion as a doctor. He said that if I didn't agree, he would come to the Lu Mansion in the guise of the Eighth Prince, and I would... then..."
As he spoke, Ah Man twisted his fingers guiltily.
Lu Xiang was stunned. As soon as he opened the door, he met the man's dark eyes that were like clouds and mist.
Chu Jinyan is shameless.
Lu Xiang suddenly felt unwell.
“You…you you you…”
Ah Man stood in the corner, knocking on the wall. His Highness was so treacherous that he made her act like a villain in front of the Third Miss.
Chu Jinyan shook the medicine box in his hand and said, "See a doctor, come inside and talk."
Lu Xiang wanted to chase the man away, but he didn't dare to do anything because of the other person's identity. He was even more afraid that this guy would suddenly reveal his true face.
In the warm room, Chu Jinyan drove Ah Man out, but did not close the door. Ah Man squatted at the door with a wronged look on her face.
"Why did Your Highness suddenly visit?" Lu Xiang lowered his voice and smiled through gritted teeth.
Chu Jinyan glanced at her, and Lu Xiang saw a hint of grievance and resentment in his eyes.
"I sent you three letters. Why didn't you come?"
If not for this, he wouldn't have just come and blocked someone's door.
Well……
Lu Xiang choked: "Your Highness is busy with affairs, I dare not disturb you easily if I have nothing to do."
"Lu Xiang, are you hiding from me?" Chu Jinyan looked at her with gloomy eyes.
Lu Xiang smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am not."
Chu Jinyan gave her a look that said, "I'm not blind to feel it."
Lu Xiang complained in his heart.
Do you have any direct connection with your feelings?
Suddenly, Chu Jinyan asked again: "Because I like you, so you are avoiding me?"
"Puff... cough cough cough..." Lu Xiang was accidentally choked by his own saliva. He looked at Chu Jinyan in horror while coughing.
Lord, can you please not be so scary?
Chu Jinyan looked at her helplessly yet dotingly, and patted her back gently with his big hand to help her calm down.
"Okay, I understand."
Lu Xiang stared at Chu Jinyan with wide eyes, wondering what this nonsensical sentence of his meant.
"Know...know what?"
Could it be that he knew she was avoiding him so he stopped looking for her?
That would be best.
Lu Xiang thought to himself.
But before the sour feeling in her heart could ferment, she saw Chu Jinyan suddenly approach her, and the next moment, a jade pendant was stuffed into her palm.
He knew that his strategy of boiling a frog in warm water was no longer effective, so he decided to change his strategy.
The only way is to constantly make his presence felt in front of her and let Lu Xiang clearly understand his feelings.
The Eighth Concubine in his heart is only her!
The jade pendant felt cool to the touch, but Lu Xiang felt like he was holding a hot potato and subconsciously wanted to let it go.
"You dare to give it back to me?" Chu Jinyan stared at her without blinking. His usually cold eyes seemed to contain a lava volcano, and the scorching flames were almost unable to be suppressed and poured out: "Wear it with you from now on. If you don't, I will land at the gate of the mansion every day."
Lu Xiang was almost melting under his gaze, when suddenly a basin of cold water was poured over her head.
Too cruel!
Does she dare to let Chu Jinyan visit her every day?
It is estimated that the emperor will execute her the next moment.
She doesn't want to die young before her revenge is taken!
Eighth Prince, where is your reserve?
Why did the style of painting change suddenly?
Chu Jinyan tied the jade pendant around her waist, his thin lips curled into a smile, and he reached out to rub her head: "I'm leaving, dear."
Then leave satisfied.
Lu Xiang looked at the mutton-fat jade pendant on his waist, smiled bitterly and stroked his forehead, his heart was in turmoil——
Chu Jinyan had just left Lu Mansion when He Zhiyan arrived.
Seeing that she looked frail but was dressed exquisitely, the concierge did not dare to neglect her and stepped forward to ask respectfully, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lu Xiang."
The servant said, "So you are here to see our Third Miss. Please take a seat in the main hall while I go and report to you."
He Zhiyan nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."
Lu Youping had just come out of the study and was listening to Manager Du saying that Lu Xiang was feeling unwell and had called a doctor when he suddenly saw He Zhiyan and looked puzzled.
"Who is this person?"
He Zhiyan heard the voice, turned to look at Lu Youping, sized up the man's demeanor and age, and bowed, "Is that Uncle Lu? My father, He Yu, I'm here to look for Miss Lu San."
Lu Youping immediately showed a warm smile: "So you are the young lady of Wuyang Marquis Mansion. Unfortunately, Lu Xiang is not feeling well today."
"Is that so? Then I'll come see her another day." He Zhiyan lowered his head in disappointment and was about to leave.
Lu Youping hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Miss He. I'll ask the maid to take you to Qixia Courtyard. Maybe she'll get better faster when she sees you coming to see her."
"Will it bother me?"
"No." Lu Youping smiled and said, "It is a blessing for Miss He to come and see my daughter. Please."
"Thank you, uncle." He Zhiyan smiled and bowed to Lu Youping, then was taken to the backyard by the maid.
When we went to Wu'an Marquis' Mansion that day, it was Ah Man who went with us.
Yun Zha looked at He Zhiyan at the door, puzzled.
The maid leading the way said, "Sister Yunzhe, this is the young lady from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and she is here to look for the third young lady."
Yun Zhe hurriedly bowed to He Zhiyan and said, "This servant greets Miss He. Please come in, my young lady is in the warm room now."
Lu Xiang was holding a book in her hand. The spring sunshine poured in through the rosewood window, casting dots of golden light on her fair face. She was as beautiful as a fairy. However, she herself did not notice that the book was upside down. Her eyes were fixed on the book in a daze.
"Miss, Miss Wu'an Hou is here." Yun Zha's voice sounded outside the house.
Lu Xiang came back to his senses and looked at the door in surprise.
In the backlight, a beautiful girl stands gracefully.
"Xiang Xiang."
The warm and enthusiastic call, coupled with a smile as bright as spring, makes people feel warm in their hearts.
Lu Xiang hurriedly stood up and welcomed the person in: "Miss He, I didn't know you were coming. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."
"I came here suddenly, sorry for being rude." He Zhiyan said, "I heard from Uncle Lu that you were not feeling well, how are you?"
"The doctor checked it out, it's fine."
When Lu Xiang thought about this, he felt so angry that his chest was stuffy.
He Zhiyan waved to Liu Liu behind him, and Liu Liu understood and put the food box on the table. He Zhiyi opened it and took out the food and snacks one by one.
"You helped me a few days ago, and I didn't know how to thank you, so I made food for you. This mandarin duck roll is something I just learned how to make, and there are also thousand-layer puff pastry and wick cake...try them."
He Zhiyan looked at Lu Xiang, her eyes shining brightly, her pale face showing a hint of weakness, and she couldn't suppress her joy as she introduced these things.
Lu Xiang looked at the snacks that took up most of the table and couldn't help but stare in amazement: "You came here specially to bring me food?"
