AWB Chapter 380 is too flashy!
Chapter 380 is too flashy!
Lu Yangyang nodded.
Lu Wei's face turned pale and then flushed, and he murmured, "Then..."
He immediately understood why Lu Yangyang had appeared in Jiangnan.
Some time ago, the deposed crown prince and his wife were exiled to Yuzhou. On their way, they were attacked by assassins at Mihe, and the deposed crown prince died.
The imperial court has officially issued an obituary. Upon hearing this news, countless people secretly mourned the Crown Prince and released lotus lanterns all over the Mi River to bid farewell to his heroic soul. To this day, the Mi River is still filled with these lanterns.
Although he had never met the Crown Prince, he knew all about the Crown Prince's actions over the years and simply did not believe that the Crown Prince would die so easily from an assassination.
If Lu Yangyang's husband is the Crown Prince, then judging from her current state, the Crown Prince should be fine.
Lu Wei quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yangyang said smugly, "Am I not lying to you? He is the best person in the world."
Lu Wei nodded: "Mm."
Lu Yangyang: "So, are you going to go to school or not?"
"Go." Lu Wei answered decisively. Since that was the case, hesitating for even a moment would be disrespectful to himself. Being able to learn from the best teacher in the world was something that many people could only dream of.
He originally thought that if he could become the top scorer in the imperial examination, he could repay her with some credit. Now it seems that this is not enough, and he needs to climb higher.
"There's no time to lose," Lu Yangyang slammed her hand on the table. She was about to pick up her pen to write a letter to her grandfather when she suddenly remembered that she had been so focused on getting away from Sheng Junyi that she had forgotten to ask where Sheng Junyi lived.
Lu Yangyang's face stiffened.
"What's wrong?" Lu Wei asked her.
Lu Yangyang took a deep breath and muttered, "Some people may be annoying, but they can be useful in crucial moments. You wait here, I'm going out to find someone."
After Lu Yangyang finished speaking, she got up and ran away in a hurry without waiting for Lu Wei to say anything.
Lu Wei shook his head; nothing had changed.
Lu Yangyang left the teahouse and went to the county government office to find Jiang Xun, where she indeed met Sheng Junyi.
She knew that when Governor Jiang arrived in Ning County, Sheng Junyi would definitely come to join in the fun.
Sheng Junyi changed into a dark brocade robe, and the disguise on his face had long been wiped off. Holding a folding fan in his hand, he leaned against the railing like a boneless man, and the carved beams and painted rafters of Jiangnan seemed to lose their color in an instant.
Whether he had truly let go or not, when Lu Yangyang looked at him now, he no longer had that dark and gloomy feeling from before, and was even a little more pleasing to the eye.
"You found us so quickly, no bargaining, huh?" Sheng Junyi said in a low voice.
Lu Yangyang couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Didn't you say I had a letter to deliver to Grandpa? Could you help me send it over?" Lu Yangyang asked.
"You've finished writing?" Sheng Junyi was somewhat surprised; he had thought Lu Yangyang wasn't planning on writing a letter.
“Yes, come with me. I’ll give you the letter, and you have to deliver it safely to Grandpa.” Lu Yangyang said earnestly.
Sheng Junyi remained noncommittal, straightened up, and gestured for her to lead the way.
As soon as Sheng Junyi stepped out of the yamen gate, at dusk when the streets were bustling with people, his appearance immediately attracted a crowd of onlookers. Some daring girls even threw sachets at him, but their aim was off and one of them hit Lu Yangyang directly.
Lu Yangyang glanced at Sheng Junyi speechlessly: "Aren't you being a little too flashy?"
Sheng Junyi didn't look at her directly. "Then thank you for praising my natural beauty."
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it, then quickly took a few steps to distance herself from him.
The yamen was not too far from the teahouse, and they arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. Lu Yangyang led Sheng Junyi into the teahouse's private room. Lu Wei was lying on the table, his fingers touching the tea and drawing something on it. Hearing the noise, he casually brushed away the water droplets, turned his head, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Sheng Junyi.
"And who is this?" Lu Wei asked first.
Lu Yangyang pointed at Sheng Junyi and replied, "Sheng Junyi, he is going to Jiangling. You can go with him."
Then, before Sheng Junyi could speak, he said to her, "This is Lu Wei, my neighbor who grew up with me. He's going to take the imperial examination next year. Could you help me send this letter to my grandfather's house and ask him to give him some pointers? Can you deliver this letter?"
Sheng Junyi looked at Lu Wei, and Lu Wei also looked at Sheng Junyi at the same time.
The moment their eyes met, they both detected a hint of disdain in each other's eyes.
It happened so quickly that no one noticed.
Upon seeing Sheng Junyi's appearance, Lu Wei knew that he was related to Lu Yangyang by blood. However, he knew Lu Yangyang well; if they were truly close, Lu Yangyang would never have remained silent about it. This showed that the man was not likable.
Upon hearing Lu Yangyang's introduction, Sheng Junyi knew how important this person was to Lu Yangyang. For her to ask her grandfather for guidance, this person's importance in her heart was probably greater than that of many others, let alone someone with whom she had an old grudge.
Sheng Junyi smiled slightly: "Delivering the letter is no problem, it's just that the journey will be tiring. Is everything alright here, Young Master Lu?"
Lu Wei smiled and said, "I come from a rural background and am used to hardship. It is Young Master Sheng who has had a hard time."
Lu Yangyang: "..."
I always felt there was something strange about the way these two were talking.
However, there's no need to worry about any problems arising. After all, these two are both cunning and scheming, so it's hard to say who will ultimately outsmart whom. They're probably evenly matched.
As long as neither of them has any objections, it's fine.
She clapped her hands and said, "Have a safe trip. I have things to do, so I'll be going now."
The two of them looked at Lu Yangyang together.
Lu Yangyang didn't linger for a moment and immediately walked out.
However, when she reached the door, she paused and said to Sheng Junyi, "Come here for a moment."
Sheng Junyi: "Hmm?"
Despite his doubts, he followed her. Lu Yangyang asked the waiter to find him an empty private room, walked in, and then dumped his small bag on the table, revealing a pile of bottles and jars.
She laid out the bottles and jars one by one, opened them, then rolled up her sleeves to reveal her arms. She picked up a small wooden skewer and tested the colors on her arm one by one: "This is called a beauty cream. You can change your skin tone by applying different colors to your skin. It's not as magical as a disguise, but it's not far off. Since you helped me deliver the letter, I'll give you all of these. Jiang Zhiyi will open a shop to sell this later. If you find it useful, please support the business, okay?"
If she didn't need his help to take Lu Wei to his grandfather's place, she wouldn't have wanted to do it for nothing, but this guy was too flashy, and she was worried about causing trouble.
“Interesting,” Sheng Junyi said, wiping the spot of beauty cream she had applied onto her arm with her finger. It was truly amazing, but she added, “You don’t need to worry about me revealing my identity and causing trouble. I’m always good at dealing with trouble.”
"In return, I'll give you something in return."
