Chapter 51 Calling Her Blind
"My son thinks so too, so I would like to ask your opinion on whether we should take action before returning to Beijing." Lu Youping asked.
The old lady pursed her lips, her wrinkled face full of murderous intent: "Taking action against Xiao Muheng right after the incident is equivalent to telling others that it was the Lu family who did it. We are about to go to Beijing, so we should stabilize the situation and give them a good fight. It is important to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and don't cause trouble at this critical juncture."
Although Xiao Muheng was hateful, he was not serious enough for the Lu family to disregard their future and get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Son understands."
The night was dark, and the moonlight in the sky was gradually obscured by dark clouds.
Lu Xiang returned to Qixia Courtyard. As soon as he pushed the door open, he suddenly heard a deep and clear voice from inside the room: "Are you back?"
The familiar tone of voice sounded as if he was the male owner of the house, waiting to greet his wife when she returned from outside.
That's right.
The voice was spoken by a man.
"Ah... um..." Lu Xiang suddenly covered his mouth the moment after the initial scream, and squeezed his eyes hard to see who was sitting in the dark room.
The clouds overhead suddenly passed by, revealing the obscured moonlight.
Silver moonlight poured into the room from the doorway, casting a hazy shadow beside the table, allowing Lu Xiang to clearly see the man sitting at the table with his head propped up with his hands.
"You...you you you you..." Lu Xiang pointed at Chu Jinyan, his eyes so shocked that they almost popped out of his sockets inch by inch.
Why was this guy in her room?
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Yunzha and Wuyue heard Lu Xiang's scream and rushed over. They saw the man sitting in their lady's boudoir with impunity. Their faces turned pale with fright.
Before the two screamed, Lu Xiang quickly covered their mouths: "Guard the yard."
After saying that, he went into the house and quickly closed the door.
Yunzha and Wuyue looked at each other, glanced at the closed door, and ran to the gate of the courtyard in fear to guard it.
"Why are you here, sir? Is there something wrong?" Lu Xiang's sweet voice rang out in the dark room, as melodious as the sound of an oriole. She just stood at the door without turning on the lights.
If Chu Jinyan could see Lu Xiang's expression, she would definitely notice that this girl was rolling her eyes so much that her eyeballs were almost popping out.
As a prince, he actually did such a vulgar thing as sneaking into a woman's boudoir at night. If your ancestors of the Chu family knew that their descendants had brought shame to the royal family, they would probably be so angry that they couldn't even hold back their anger.
I'm so angry, but I can't curse.
puff--
The candle suddenly lit up, illuminating the dark room.
The sudden bright light caught Lu Xiang off guard, and that face, wrinkled like a bun and looking quite twisted, just caught Chu Jinyan's eyes.
This is... not liking him?
Just thinking about it, a strong chill rose up around Chu Jinyan's body, and he wished he could freeze Lu Xiang into an ice cube.
Well……
Lu Xiang quickly grinned and raised a brilliant smile: "I was worried about how to light the lamp in the dark. Thank you for your help, young master."
Her beautiful and pretty face is like a lotus emerging from water, which makes people tremble.
Chu Jinyan's resentful aura dissipated with this smile.
Although the smile is a bit fake.
"Miss Lu, please sit down." Chu Jinyan pointed to a stool and invited her.
Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly. This is my home, my home...
Sitting down opposite Chu Jinyan, Lu Xiang rubbed his cheeks, trying to make himself look innocent and cute: "Young Master, you are visiting late at night, is there anything wrong?"
Chu Jinyan seemed to feel that he couldn't see Lu Xiang clearly from this angle, so he changed his hand to support his head, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like the mist in the sky, light and soft, but it makes people's hearts soften.
"Have we met before?"
Chu Jinyan suddenly said this without any beginning or end.
Three black lines immediately slid down Lu Xiang's forehead. "Sir, your method of teasing girls is old-fashioned."
"You are joking, sir. I have never seen it except in Hua'an Temple."
"Really?" Chu Jinyan stared at Lu Xiang with deep black eyes. There was confusion and puzzlement in them, as well as a look that Lu Xiang couldn't understand: "Why do I vaguely remember seeing you somewhere and scolding you for being blind?"
These days, he would wake up in his dreams at midnight several times and a vague shadow would appear. Although he could not see the face clearly and did not know where she was, he knew clearly in his heart that the girl was Lu Xiang.
As Lu Xiang finished his words, he felt as if struck by lightning, staring at Chu Jinyan in a daze.
If it weren't for the puzzled expression on his face, she would have suspected that Chu Jinyan was also reborn.
If Chu Jinyan hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that they had ever had such an intersection.
In her previous life, she once went to the Imperial College to deliver snacks to Xiao Muheng, and happened to meet Chu Jinyan coming out. She bowed to him respectfully, but he looked down at her. The strong sarcasm in his eyes made her so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to hide in, but she was more angry, so she raised her head and glared at Chu Jinyan: "Why is your highness looking at me like this?"
After saying this, Lu Xiang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, his legs went weak and he fell to his knees.
But she thought Chu Jinyan's anger did not burn on her. She only heard him say coldly: "I will see if the talented woman who is famous in the capital is blind."
Lu Xiang: “…”
She felt like she was about to spit out blood.
Is he sick? He scolded her for no reason. When did she offend him?
But she dared not say anything, so Lu Xiang had to agree obediently: "Your Highness is right, my eyes... are not so good." Lu Xiang felt so aggrieved that she couldn't even cry. She didn't check the almanac before going out today.
"Tsk... you're quite self-aware."
The sarcastic and indifferent face of Chu Jinyan in her memory overlapped with the noble and aloof face in front of her. Lu Xiang's scattered gaze gathered again. The last cold sneer in her ears was so distant yet so clear that she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.
Isn't she just blind?
Chu Jinyan was absolutely right in scolding him back then.
Perhaps he saw through the ugly face beneath Xiao Muheng's gentle appearance, or perhaps Chu Jinyan had seen Xiao Muheng's true face...
However, the past is no longer important. Once she is reborn, she will never let Xiao Muheng have an easy time!
"Sir, you came here today just to talk to me about this?" Lu Xiang asked, putting aside his memories of his previous life.
"Miss, I came here to repay you for saving my life."
As Chu Jinyan spoke, he reached to his side and slapped the table.
The thick stack of banknotes almost blinded Lu Xiang's eyes.
Good...rich!
"Sir, we agreed upon three conditions for repaying the favor..." Is he going to go back on his word and use money to get rid of her?
"The three conditions still count. This is extra compensation for you."
kindness?
Lu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly. Extra reward... this is fine.
She pursed her lips, and a hint of joy quietly overflowed from the corner of her mouth, making the dim room as bright as a galaxy.
