"Is the princess serious?"
The voice was muffled, like a puzzlement, but also like a test.
"Play?" Wen Yu was genuinely surprised.
"You don't think I'm kidding you, do you?"
"I worked so hard and diligently to investigate the case, just to play a joke on you? It's like a knife stabbing my butt. I'm really surprised."
Just as Lu Ren was about to say something, Wen Yu raised her index finger and pressed it on Lu Ren's lips. Her fingertips were a little cold, yet as tempting as fire.
"Shh - if you say something I don't like, then don't say it. Lu Ren, my patience is limited, and you know what I like to hear."
After Wen Yu finished speaking, she smiled at Lu Jin who was stunned beside her and left the general's mansion.
Lu Jin was completely confused.
What are they talking about? I don't understand at all.
"Brother...what does the princess mean?"
Lu Ren turned around and looked at Wen Yu's back with a complicated look.
His expression changed back and forth, gradually becoming a little obscure, as if he had made a decision.
"Brother?" Lu Jin waved his hand in front of Lu Ren. Seeing that he didn't respond, his jaw dropped in surprise. "You're actually in a daze?"
His brother actually would be in a daze?
He still remembered seeing his brother punishing soldiers who were daydreaming during training in the military camp.
He still remembers clearly what his brother said, "What you feel on the battlefield is not stupidity, but sadness."
He had never seen his brother in a daze in all these years, but today...
Lu Jin exclaimed again in surprise: "Brother, you are actually in a daze!"
Lu Ren raised his eyes slightly, with a hint of intimidation: "Have you finished writing?"
Lu Jin: …
He coughed, leaned a little closer, and asked quietly: "Brother, is the princess interested in you? Is she pursuing you?"
Lu Ren's eyebrows moved slightly, and then he heard Lu Jin say: "But doesn't the princess like the prime minister? You are not the prime minister's type."
Lu Ren dragged Lu Jin back to the study room with an expressionless face.
"If you don't improve your writing skills, I will throw you into the military camp."
Lu Jin's eyes were filled with tears. How had he offended his brother?
He is not good at studying, and of course, he is not good at learning martial arts...
"Brother, you know what? You just acted like a frustrated young wife in front of the princess. I've never seen you like this before. It really opened my eyes. What did the princess say? A knife piercing your butt opened your eyes."
Lu Jin bit the pen and smiled foolishly.
Lu Ren: ...
"You are not allowed to go to bed until you finish writing these words today." Lu Ren turned and left.
Lu Jin:?
Why do I feel a little angry and embarrassed?
At this time, Lu Ren came back again. He sighed and said, "I have a friend..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Jin said, "Brother, the friend you are talking about is you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ren directly admitted, "So what if it's me?"
After saying that, he turned around and left for the martial arts training ground.
He stood under the plum tree in the martial arts training ground, with emotions surging in his eyes, and silently broke off plum branches one by one.
"Princess! Princess! General Lu is here!"
Liuchun trotted into the yard and started shouting before he even entered the door.
Wen Yu was leaning on the small couch, holding an apple in her hand and chewing it casually.
Hearing Liuchun's call, Wen Yu sat up slightly straighter, very surprised.
"Huh?" So soon? She thought Lu Ren's hard stone would be gone by tomorrow, but it turned out to be just around the corner.
I had originally planned to lie in bed and ignore worldly affairs after returning home.
"Princess, General Lu is already waiting outside the yard."
"Let him in."
Liu Chun paused after hearing this, and said hesitantly: "Princess, don't you want to change your clothes? Are you going to let General Lu in like this?"
Wen Yu waved her hand nonchalantly, "No need, this princess can look stunning even in a sack."
"..." Liu Chun wanted to say something but stopped. Thinking of Wen Yu's obvious different attitude towards Lu Ren, he finally obeyed the order and went out.
Wen Yu sat up and finished taking a few bites of the apple, then she saw Lu Ren's tall figure.
The next second she opened her eyes wide unconsciously and the apple core in her hand fell out.
"What are you singing about?"
Lu Ren was dressed in a black gilded robe and had his hair tied up high.
His upper body was tied up with hemp ropes, and there were eight or nine plum blossom branches behind him, which was very eye-catching.
He had been keeping his head down and had never raised his eyes. When he heard Wen Yu's question, he knelt on one knee and said in a steady tone: "I have come to the princess's mansion to apologize for my crime."
Wen Yu walked forward and stopped one meter in front of him. "Apologize for your crime? Then tell me, what crime have you committed?"
"Is it the crime of going back on one's word? The crime of not keeping one's word? The crime of not keeping one's word? The crime of not admitting one's mistake?"
Lu Ren paused and fell silent.
Silence is sometimes also an attitude.
Wen Yu, who had already guessed what he meant, was not angry.
Instead, he sighed helplessly and said, "Let's not talk about your crime for now. Can you please raise your head? Keeping your head down and not talking makes me feel very stressed. Fortunately, you have a lot of hair, otherwise you would be pointing your bald head at me."
"Princess..." Lu Ren raised his head slowly.
Before he could finish his words, his pupils shrank slightly and trembled a few times. Then he lowered his head and swallowed the words whole.
The whole person started to smoke.
He didn't expect that Wen Yu in the room was only wearing a thin red gauze dress and skirt.
The bellyband embroidered with red plum blossoms was faintly visible under the veil, and the whiteness at a glance was frightening.
Lu Ren lowered his head even lower, and even his tone was filled with panic that could not be concealed: "Please put on your clothes, Princess."
Wen Yu:?
Wen Yu looked down at her outfit. It was just a camisole with a gauze top...
Seeing Lu Ren's exaggerated reaction, Wen Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, and then she realized what Liu Chun meant when he asked her to change her clothes.
She squatted down, and the two of them seemed to be back in the snow in front of the temple.
"But it's so cold, the doctor said I'm weak and afraid of the cold, so the charcoal fire is burning more vigorously. Once it burns more vigorously, I'll feel hot if I wear too much. This is the most comfortable way to wear it."
After listening to Wen Yu's explanation, Lu Ren still didn't dare to raise his eyes, "Princess, please be patient when there are other men present."
Wen Yu blinked, lifted Lu Ren's chin with her fingertips, and looked at him with a faint smile in her eyes: "Strange man? Where is there a strange man?"
Lu Ren: ...
His eyes flickered, then quickly looked away.
"But now that you've come here to apologize, it seems like you're going to go back on your word. You were careless. I should have asked you to pay half of the deposit first before doing anything."
"I thought that as a general, I valued integrity the most, but it seems that I..."
"No, princess. I have no intention of going back on my word."
Lu Ren stared at Wen Yu and said, "I am here to ask for forgiveness for my disrespect to the princess."
