Chapter 6 Is this man mentally ill?
After the two left, there was finally movement in the next room.
A man was sitting there with a casual and unfocused posture.
He has a dark complexion, black hair and a broad forehead, and he looks tough and sharp.
There was a faint scar on his brow bone. It didn't disfigure him, nor was it ugly, but it made him look a bit more like a gangster.
He raised his foot and kicked the person next to him, "Ayun, do you think it will be cold this winter?"
He Yun held a palm-leaf fan in his hand and fanned himself very hard.
"Your Highness, do you think you'll feel cold now? I'm going crazy with the heat."
Xiao Yanci bent his fingers slightly and tapped the table lightly. "It's so hot, but Miss Lu wants to buy a lot of cotton clothes and charcoal. It's really strange."
He Yun groaned and said casually, "Women, they have long hair but short knowledge."
He raised his leg and kicked He Yun again, "What? You look down on women? Whose belly did you crawl out of? Who saved your life?"
The master and servant had bad luck on this trip and almost lost their lives. They were picked up by Shi Qizhou's caravan and taken back to the capital.
To be honest, Lu Zhiran can be considered their savior.
He Yun immediately stretched out his hand and opened his mouth, "It's my fault for being clumsy with words. I deserve a beating."
Who would have thought that the owner of Taicang Trading Company was a young woman?
Xiao Yanci asked him, "How much silver do you have on you?"
He Yun rummaged through his pockets, pulled out a purse, and poured out a few taels of pitiful silver.
Xiao Yanci looked disgusted and said, "I'll just make you poor to death."
He Yun: "...Then it's all your fault."
His Highness was born with a bad fate. Any valuable things in his hands would not last more than an hour.
Even if He Yun helped him keep his money, it would disappear without a trace.
He should be the poorest prince of the time, no doubt about it.
Xiao Yanci stood up and strode out. He Yun hurriedly followed, "Your Highness, where are you going?"
Xiao Yanci: "Go to the palace and ask the old man for some money to spend."
He had a hunch that if he followed Miss Lu in placing bets, he would make a lot of money.
It doesn’t matter if he loses money, it’s not his money anyway.
After discussing various matters with Shi Qizhou, Lu Zhiran and her servant went for a walk on the street again.
When I returned to the mansion, the sun was already setting.
I returned to Yushengju in a happy mood, but unexpectedly saw an uninvited guest.
Chu Yian looked at her sullenly, "In the past, when we were at home, were you always going out early and coming back late, having fun outside?"
What a big hat.
Lu Zhiran almost laughed out of anger.
Not wanting to waste time talking to him, Lu Zhiran asked in a cold tone, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
Chu Yian had been waiting in Yushengju for most of the day and was already filled with anger.
This woman was so good, not only did she not realize her mistake at all, but she was also so cold and perfunctory. The anger in Chu Yian's chest reached its peak and exploded in an instant.
"Is this the attitude you should have towards your husband?"
Lu Zhiran thought to herself, it won’t be like that soon.
"If you have nothing to do, please go back. I need to rest."
Chu Yian felt like he had punched cotton, angry and powerless.
Thinking of the purpose of coming here, Chu Yian suppressed the anger in his chest and said in a cold and hard voice, "Mother is calling you, come with me now."
Lu Zhiran's eyes turned slightly, and an incident from her previous life came to her mind.
"I'll come right after I change my clothes."
After changing clothes inside, Lu Zhiran asked in a low voice, "Did anything happen in the mansion today?"
Nanny Jin: "The steward of Ruyi Pavilion has delivered jewelry to the young lady."
It is true.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her lips. These people were really interesting. They treated her as a money bag that could be summoned and dismissed at will.
After waiting for nearly half an hour, Chu Yian had become extremely impatient.
Finally, Lu Zhiran walked out slowly.
She changed into a casual plain snow silk cloud-shaped Qianshui dress. The makeup on her face was washed off, leaving her without any powder. The only bright color on her head was the emerald jade hairpin with crabapple beads.
The outfit was very bland and boring, but Chu Yian seemed to be bumped by something, and his eyes darkened slightly.
His memory instantly went back to the time when he first met her at Miaofa Temple several years ago.
The girl stood under the rustling pear blossoms, her picturesque features holding a timid smile. She had a kind of fragile beauty that aroused a strong desire to protect her.
The heartbeat only lasts for a moment.
When he learned that she was his fiancée chosen in his early years, he felt infinite tenderness and joy in his heart, and he only hoped to marry her as soon as possible.
Is she dressed like this today to arouse his pity?
Chu Yian's emotions were fluctuating, and his eyes softened when he looked at Lu Zhiran.
She is deeply in love with me, but I already have Shuning, so it is understandable that she would be a little bit capricious.
Considering that she has waited for me for three years, I should be more tolerant of her.
Chu Yian slowed down his tone, "When you get to mother later, be obedient and don't act willfully. I will plead for you and get the housekeeper's power back."
Lu Zhiran:?
“No need.”
Whoever wants to take care of this broken house can do so, she will not get involved anymore.
Chu Yian looked at her deeply and said, "You don't have to be so strong in front of me. You can tell me whatever grievances you have in your heart."
An inexplicable chill crept up her limbs and made her feel so nauseous that she wanted to vomit.
Is this man mentally ill? Why is he pretending to be affectionate in front of her at this time?
She looked at Chu Yian with a half-smile, "Don't you feel hypocritical and disgusted when you say this now?"
Chu Yian's face twitched a few times, and he suppressed his anger, "Zhiran, I just want to talk to you calmly, why are you always so sarcastic?"
Lu Zhiran asked back, "Even if I tell you about my grievances, what else can you do besides those cheap words of comfort?"
Chu Yian was speechless for a moment.
Lu Zhiran said coldly: "Since you can't give me anything, there's no need to be so pretentious."
After saying that, she walked forward and ignored the man.
In her previous life, she really fell for his tricks and was always fooled by his sweet words and had to compromise and give in again and again.
She will never be that stupid again in this life!
Chu Yian secretly clenched his fists, and anger rose in his heart again.
She really changed, becoming as vulgar as those street shrews, and was no longer the girl who smiled timidly at him under the pear blossoms.
Chu Yian was very disappointed.
Lu Zhiran arrived late, but there was no sign of anger on Jiang's face. Her skills in cultivating qi were quite amazing.
Chu Yunqing's face was full of surprise, but thinking of his own purpose, he forced himself to hold back and not say anything to make things difficult.
Lu Zhiran bowed to Jiang, who smiled and waved at her, "Zhiran, you're here? Come sit next to your mother."
Lu Zhiran followed suit and sat down without hesitation.
Chu Yunqing couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, where did you go just now? We've been waiting for you all day!"
There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
She had just seen the headpiece with her own eyes. It was exquisite and gorgeous, so magnificent that she almost wanted to put it on her head immediately.
However, Lu Zhiran was late in returning, so she could only find some faults and asked the steward of Ruyi Pavilion to take the headgear back.
