Chapter 254: Trying to Pry Someone Out
Somehow, when he saw Qiao Jingru at this moment, he felt inexplicably guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye.
Qiao Jingru felt a tightness in her heart, a bitterness and a dull pain.
Does he hate himself so much?
He didn't even want to look at her any more.
Lu Xiang lowered his eyes, and there was a cold light in his beautiful dark eyes. He looked at Rong Yin as if he wanted to swallow her up. Rong Yin seemed to be frightened by Lu Xiang's eyes, and hid behind Lu Chao as if startled.
"Third sister, what are you looking at?" Lu Chao frowned as he protected Rong Yin.
Seeing this, Qiao Jingru's clenched fingertips turned pale and her face looked extremely ugly.
Lu Xiang snorted coldly: "Humph, big brother, why do you think I would look at a mistress? It seems that after leaving the Lu family, big brother and the mistress are still living a comfortable life."
As soon as these words came out, embarrassment flashed across Lu Chao's handsome face.
It's not moisturizing at all.
In less than a month, he had almost spent all the money he had, but he didn't dare to tell Rong Yin for the sake of face. Just to watch the dragon boat race today, he had spent eighty taels of silver to book a private room in Chunmanlou, and with the lunch they had just had, another hundred taels were gone.
Thinking of this, Lu Chao felt very depressed.
Accustomed to a life of luxury, the worst that happened was that they had a few quarrels when they asked Qiao Jingru for money when they were short of money, but in the end, they had never worried about money.
He couldn't regret it. Rongyin was his beloved daughter, and he could give up everything for her.
I'm a grown man, can't I support a woman?
"Young Master, I feel a little dizzy. Let's go." Rong Yin stroked her forehead with one hand and fell weakly into Lu Chao's arms, with countless charms rippling on her beautiful face.
Hearing this, Lu Chao immediately showed a nervous look: "Why are you suddenly dizzy? I'll take you to see a doctor."
Rong Yin glanced at Qiao Jingru provocatively and said in a tender voice, "Maybe I was blown too much by the wind just now. I can just go back and lie down."
Lu Chao said hurriedly: "Then let's go quickly."
Having said that, he didn't bother to talk to Lu Xiang and supported Rong Yin and walked away.
Lu Xiang's eyes darkened and he glanced at Ah Man.
Ah Man understood, took out a copper coin from his purse and weighed it in his palm.
Seeing that there were still two steps to the first floor, Ah Man suddenly threw the copper coin in his hand, hitting Rong Yin on the calf.
"Ah..." A scream rang out, and Lu Chao felt his hands go empty. Then he saw Rong Yin falling forward.
At this moment, a group of richly dressed young men were about to go upstairs. Rong Yin fell downstairs and just happened to jump into the arms of the man walking in front of her. Then, due to inertia, the two of them fell to the ground together.
This scene came too suddenly, and Lu Chao was dumbfounded.
Rong Yin and the man were also stunned and even forgot to get up immediately.
Lu Xiang came down from upstairs, his eyes were cold and his voice was mocking: "Oh, you are indeed from a brothel. It's because my eldest brother was kicked out of the house and he is no longer a rich man, so Miss Rong is so impatient to find the next one."
Rong Yin's face suddenly turned pale due to these words, but she came back to her senses instantly and quickly got up.
Lu Chao turned his head and glared at Lu Xiang: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Rong Yin looked at Lu Xiang innocently and aggrievedly, tears falling like pearls, her eyes full of pear blossoms and rain were really pitiful: "Third Miss, I know you don't like me, but as a woman, why do you insult me like this?"
The man who bumped into Rong Yin stood up with the help of his companions. His astonished gaze moved from Rong Yin's face to Lu Xiang's body, and finally his eyes seemed to be glued together and could not move.
Lu Xiang felt the other party's malicious eyes, frowned in disgust, looked at Rong Yin and scolded: "Have some shame, who is the same woman as you? I am a pure and innocent girl in the boudoir. How can you, a prostitute in a brothel, be compared with me?"
Rong Yin was so ashamed and angry that her face turned pale and blue.
Qiao Jingru looked at the people around her who were watching the fun and stepped forward and said, "Xiangxiang, there's no need to quarrel over this kind of person. Let's go."
After saying that, he pulled Lu Xiang out of Chunmanlou without looking back.
Lu Chao looked at Qiao Jingru's cold back and felt suffocated.
Rong Yin looked at Lu Chao with a pale face: "Young Master!" She called softly, gently and beautifully.
She was terribly afraid that Lu Chao would take Lu Xiang's provocative words to heart.
Her identity as a prostitute was something she could not change. Originally, Lu Chao had stopped caring about it, but when Lu Xiang pointed it out in such an occasion, with so many people watching, who knew if Lu Chao would feel resentful.
But she was really wronged.
He was walking fine, but suddenly his calf hurt and he couldn't stand steadily. He was standing on the stairs and fell down without any warning.
Lu Chao retracted his gaze from Qiao Jingru, looked at Rong Yin and said, "Go back."
The voice was so calm that it was hard to tell whether it was happy or angry. Rong Yin's heart was beating fast, but she was slightly relieved when Lu Chao walked over to her, took her hand and left.
"Young Master, I accidentally sprained my ankle and fell down the stairs." Rong Yin explained in a low voice as she walked outside.
Lu Chao looked down at her and said, "Yeah."
Rong Yin's face froze. She wanted to say something but felt that if she continued to explain, it would seem like she was being too cautious.
But looking at Lu Chao's current state, she couldn't tell whether he minded or not?
In the restaurant, the group of young masters walked upstairs, and the leader said:
"Oh my god, when did such a beautiful woman appear in the capital? I wonder which family she is from?"
"Prince An has just returned to the capital, so he may not know. I met her at a banquet at the Marquis Wu'an's mansion. She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works." One of them smiled flatteringly.
Prince An stroked his chin, smiling obscenely and with ill intentions: "The legitimate daughter of the Minister of Works? Why haven't I heard of her?"
"He took office last year and is said to be very much loved by the Queen. He is often summoned into the palace by the Queen to keep her company." said another person.
At the same time, it is also a reminder to Prince An.
This is not an ordinary young lady from an official family. She has the support of the Empress, so she cannot do anything wrong.
Sure enough, upon hearing that she was protected by the Queen, Prince An's expression changed, but he soon showed his arrogance again: "So what if the Queen likes her? She is not the Queen's daughter. There is no woman in the capital that this Prince cannot touch."
His biological mother is the eldest princess, and the current emperor is his uncle, so what is there to be afraid of?
As soon as he said this, the people behind him started to make a fuss.
In the private room.
Sheng Xian rushed in without knocking: "Master, Prince An is trying to steal your girl."
Chu Qingyun: "..."
What the hell is prying someone off?
but……
"Has that bastard Zheng Wenwu returned to Beijing?"
"Yes, I just saw him go to the second floor with a group of lackeys." Sheng Xian cursed in his heart in agreement. Yes, that bastard has returned to Beijing.
