Yan Xuanye raised his wine bottle high and gave Lu Huan a provocative smile, "General Lu, you are a pillar of society. I offer you a toast."
Lu Huan saw through the provocation in Yan Xuanye's eyes, but remained calm. He responded with a cold smile and slowly poured a glass of wine.
"Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince of Yan, for your kind words."
The two of them drank the wine in their glasses without knowing what was going on, but they had their own thoughts and plans in their minds.
"Actually, the reason I came here today is because I've heard of General Lu's reputation before, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to pay him a visit, but I just couldn't find the chance."
"I happened to hear that General Lu was having a banquet here today, so I came here specially."
Yan Xuanye glanced at the prostitutes present and said with a smile, "General Lu, I hope this won't disturb your fun."
Lu Huan put down the wine bottle, his face as cold as frost, and his tone was cold, "No."
He said it was okay, but from his cold tone, anyone could tell that he was unhappy.
"General Lu, please forgive me for any interruption."
Yan Xuanye paused, then continued, "I came here specially to visit you today. In fact, I have prepared a gift for General Lu."
Lu Huan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at Yan Xuanye's evil smile, wondering in his heart what his intentions were and why he was pestering him so much.
Shi Zhuo, who was standing behind Yan Xuanye, clapped his hands at the right moment. Six beautiful dancers floated in like colorful butterflies, walked lightly to Lu Huan, and saluted him in unison.
"I have carefully selected these six dancers. They are all outstanding in terms of figure, appearance, and talent. Today, I will present them to General Lu."
"Is General Lu satisfied?"
As soon as Yan Xuanye finished speaking, several lustful generals began to murmur.
"Giving such a beautiful woman to a cold and heartless person like Lu Huan is such a waste of talent."
…
Lu Huan didn't even glance at the dancers. He simply said, "Thank you, King Yan, for your kindness. However, I just got married and have a good wife at home."
"I'm sorry I'm not able to enjoy other beauties."
Yan Xuanye was playing with the wine jar in his hand nonchalantly, but only he knew how much strength he had put in gripping the jar when Lu Huan mentioned the word "virtuous wife".
The corners of his lips curved slightly, his eyes revealing contempt, "Oh~ So General Lu and his wife are very affectionate?"
"I saw General Lu having a banquet at this restaurant famous for its wine and prostitutes, so I thought General Lu was attracted by the beauty and wanted to please her."
Yan Xuanye deliberately dragged out his words, in fact, he did so on purpose, deliberately making the people present think that Lu Huan was a hypocrite who was good at pretending and acting.
If it weren't for the lust for beauty, who would come to this restaurant? Could it be that they really come here to eat and drink?
Lu Huan glanced at Pei Ji on his right, only to see him surrounded by people, looking very happy.
Seeing Lu Huan looking at him, Pei Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled nonchalantly, then signaled the prostitute to pour him a glass of wine. He raised the glass to Lu Huan with interest and drank it down in one gulp.
Lu Huan held back his anger and swallowed it down.
It seems that I fell into his trap today.
I just don't know whether Pei Ji is in collusion with Yan Xuanye.
Otherwise, why would Yan Xuanye come out to give him a woman right after he was brought here by Pei Ji to drink?
It just happened to be such a dirty restaurant.
There was a pot of lust on him, and he wanted to take it off, but it was difficult to do so.
Lu Huan calmed down and spoke calmly, "Prince Yan, you're joking. I only have my virtuous wife in my heart. No other woman is worth my attention."
"Forgive me for being so presumptuous. Although Your Highness the Prince of Yan means well, this is unnecessary."
Yan Xuanye claimed to have heard of his reputation and had come to visit him, but if he truly wanted to befriend him, how could he not have inquired about him?
If you had asked, how could you not know that he had just married, or had been married for not long.
If he knew, he would have done it on purpose.
Yan Xuanye leaned lazily back in his chair, but his eyes still scrutinized Lu Huan. "It seems my good intentions have led to bad consequences."
Lu Huan said without any mercy, "Yes."
"Your Highness Prince Yan has come from the far north, and may not be aware of the traditions of our Nanchang Kingdom."
Yan Xuanye was silent for a moment, "What tradition?"
Lu Huan said in a relaxed tone, "In Nanchang, if anyone inserts someone into the lives of a newlywed couple, it is considered extremely immoral and will be despised by everyone."
Lu Huan's implication was that his behavior was immoral and would be despised by others.
Yan Xuanye didn't say anything else, but there was a hint of fire in his eyes.
The two of them went back and forth like a game on a chessboard, provoking and testing each other from time to time, and the implicit banter and ridicule made the atmosphere reach an unprecedented level of tension.
Pei Ji smiled and came out to smooth things over, "Your Highness the Prince of Yan has come from afar, so it's understandable that he doesn't know."
"Well, it seems Ziyi is not lucky enough to enjoy such a beauty."
"Ziyi, come, let's have a drink."
Yan Xuanye's eyes turned cold. Looking at Lu Huan's cold faces when he was drinking with Pei Ji, he realized that this man was not easy to deal with. He could shut up in just a few words.
I'm afraid it won't work if he wants to use a woman to destroy the relationship between him and Su Qingci.
This step has to be put on hold for now and discussed later.
…
Lu Huan drank two more glasses, and finally put down the bottle. He then stood up and said, "It's getting late, and I'm a little tipsy, so I won't bother you anymore."
He looked at Yan Xuanye who was sitting on the main throne and nodded slightly. "Your Highness Prince Yan, I'm sorry to bother you."
Lu Huan took several steps forward and his hand was almost touching the door when he heard a hurried question from behind him.
"General Lu, are you anxious to go back home to be with your good wife?"
I don’t know if it was his fault, but Yan Xuanye emphasized the word “virtuous wife” more.
Lu Huan turned around and gave him a provocative smile, "Of course."
As he expected, the fake smile on Yan Xuanye's face cracked.
Lu Huan turned around, already understanding what was going on.
Now, everything is clear.
It turns out that this is the reason why Yan Xuanye came here today.
…
Lu Huan got on the carriage, gently lifted the curtain with his index finger, and looked towards the private room on the third floor of the restaurant.
As expected, Pei Ji was seen accompanying Yan Xuanye. The two were standing by the window, seemingly talking about something.
Yan Xuanye, on the other hand, stared at him without blinking.
Lu Huan ordered the driver to drive away. Seeing Yan Xuanye's originally stern expression, he became increasingly angry, as if a storm was brewing around him.
Lu Huan curled his lips into a smile, lowered the curtain, and told the driver to speed up and head towards Zhuangzi.
