"My son thinks so too, so I want to ask my mother to give me an idea whether to take action before returning to Beijing." Lu Youping asked.

The old lady pursed her lips, and her wrinkled face was filled with a look of solemnity: "Taking action against Xiao Muheng as soon as the incident broke out is equivalent to telling others that it was the Lu family who did it. We are about to enter the capital. Let's take a stab at it first. Stand in the capital."

It’s important to keep your footing and don’t cause trouble at this juncture.”

Although Xiao Muheng was hateful, it was not so important that the Lu family wanted to get rid of him quickly regardless of their future.

"My son understands."

The night was dark, and the moon was gradually obscured by dark clouds in the sky.

Lu Xiang returned to Qixia Courtyard. As soon as she opened the door, she suddenly heard a deep and clear voice in the room: "You're back?"

This familiar tone made it seem like he was the man of the house, waiting for his wife to greet her when she returned from a trip.

That's right.

The one who spoke was a man.

"Ah... um..." Lu Xiang suddenly covered her mouth the moment the initial scream rang out, squeezing her eyes hard to see who was sitting in the dark room.

The clouds overhead suddenly passed by, revealing the obscured moonlight.

The silver moonlight spilled into the room from the door, casting a faint shadow on the table, allowing Lu Xiang to clearly see the man sitting at the table with his head supported by his hands.

"You...you you you..." Lu Xiang pointed at Chu Jinyan, her eyes almost bulging out of her sockets inch by inch in shock.

Why is this guy in her house?

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Yun Zhe and Wu Yue hurried over after hearing Lu Xiang's screams, and immediately saw the man sitting unscrupulously in their young lady's boudoir, and their little faces turned pale with fright.

Before the two screamed, Lu Xiang quickly covered their mouths with quick eyes and hands: "Guard the yard."

After saying that, enter the house and close the door quickly.

Yunzhe and Wuyue looked at each other in confusion, glanced at the closed door, and ran to the courtyard door in shock to guard it.

"Why are you here, Master? Is something wrong?" Lu Xiang's sweet voice sounded in the dark room, as sweet as a warbler. She stood at the door without lighting a lamp.

If Chu Jinyan could see Lu Xiang's expression, he would definitely find that this girl was rolling her eyes almost out of her head.

A high-ranking prince actually does such a despicable thing as visiting a woman's boudoir at night. If your ancestors of the Chu family knew that their descendants were so humiliating to the royal family, they would probably be so angry that they would be unable to hold down their arms.

I'm so angry, but I can't curse.

puff--

The candle suddenly lit up, illuminating the dark room.

Lu Xiang was unprepared for the sudden bright light, and the wrinkled and distorted face just hit Chu Jinyan's eyes.

Is this...not waiting to see him?

Just thinking about this, a strong cold air suddenly rose up around Chu Jinyan, wishing to freeze Lu Xiang into ice cubes.

Well……

Lu Xiang hurriedly opened his mouth and raised a bright smile: "I am worried that I don't know how to light a lamp. Thank you for your help, sir."

Her pretty and delicate face is like a hibiscus emerging from the water, making people's hearts tremble.

Chu Jinyan's aura of resentment dissipated with this smile.

Although the smile is a bit fake.

"Miss Lu, sit down." Chu Jinyan nodded on the stool and invited.

Lu Xiang's mouth twitched slightly, this is my home, my home...

Sitting down opposite Chu Jinyan, Lu Xiang rubbed his cheeks and tried to look innocent and cute: "Young Master came to visit late at night, are you okay?"

Chu Jinyan seemed to think Lu Xiang couldn't see clearly from this angle, so he changed his hands to support his head, with a faint smile on his lips, like the haze on the horizon, light and soft, but making people's hearts soft.

"Have we met before?"

There is no beginning or end, Chu Jinyan suddenly said this.

Three black lines suddenly slid down Lu Xiang's forehead. Uncle, your method of teasing girls is old-fashioned.

"Young Master is joking. I have never seen him except Hua'an Temple."

"Really?" Chu Jinyan stared at Lu Xiang with his deep black eyes. There was confusion, confusion, and a look that Lu Xiang couldn't understand: "Why do I vaguely remember where I saw you and even scolded you?"

You are blind."

These days, when he dreams in the middle of the night, vague shadows will appear several times. Although he can't see her face clearly and doesn't know where she is, he knows clearly in his heart that the girl is Lu Xiang.

As Lu Xiang finished speaking, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning, and he looked 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.

Chu Jinyan did not mention it, and she had forgotten that the two of them had such an intersection.

In her previous life, she once went to the Imperial Academy to deliver snacks to Xiao Muheng. She happened to meet Chu Jin coming out of the banquet. She saluted him respectfully and said hello, but he kissed her condescendingly. The rich sarcasm in his eyes made her so embarrassed that she could not wait to see him.

He found a crack to get in, but he was more angry, so he raised his head and stared at Chu Jinyan: "Why is Your Highness looking at me like this?"

After saying that, Lu Xiang broke out in a cold sweat, her legs went soft and she knelt down.

But what she thought was Chu Jinyan's anger did not burn onto her. She only heard him say coldly: "Just take a look and see if the talented woman who is famous in the capital is blind."

Lu Xiang: "..."

She felt like her blood was about to spurt out.

You must be sick. He scolded her carelessly. When did she offend him?

But he dared not speak out, so Lu Xiang had to agree obediently: "Your Highness said that my daughter's eyes... are not very good." Lu Xiang felt that she was so depressed that she couldn't even cry. She didn't go out today.

Look at the almanac.

"Tsk...you are quite self-aware."

The sarcastic and indifferent face of Chu Jinyan in her memory overlapped with the noble and arrogant face in front of her. Lu Xiang's distracted eyes focused again. The last cold scoff in her ears was distant but so clear that she couldn't help but laugh at herself in her heart.

.

Isn't she just blind?

The Chu Jin Banquet back then was not wrong at all.

Maybe he saw through Xiao Muheng's ugly face under his gentle appearance, or maybe Chu Jinyan saw Xiao Muheng's true face...

However, the past is no longer important. When she comes back again, she will never let Xiao Muheng have an easy time!

"Is this what Young Master came to talk to me about today?" Lu Xiang asked, putting aside the memory of his previous life.

"Girl, I'm here to repay the favor for saving my life."

As Chu Jinyan said this, he touched it from his side and slapped it on the table.

The thick stack of banknotes almost blinded Lu Xiang.

Well... rich!

"Young Master, we agreed on three conditions for repaying the favor..." Are you going to regret it and use money to send her away?

"Three conditions still count, this is extra reward for you."

kindness?

Lu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, extra reward...this is okay.

He pursed his lips, and a hint of joy quietly escaped from the corners of his lips, making the dim room shine as brightly as a star.
