Volume 1 Chapter 47: The Second Round

  Several maidservants were apparently stunned, staring at Lu Xuan in silence, while Lu Xuan glanced at the nobleman who was ignoring her and continued to read, "A gentleman helps others become good, not bad. A petty person is the opposite." "To err and not reform is truly an error."

  You've got my brother locked up, and you're after me, a mere woman of average looks who's not even content with staying at home. This is truly a mistake. Why don't you change your ways? Change! Change!

  “……”

  The nobleman glanced at her, and all around fell silent.

  Lu Xun continued to recite: "Different paths, no common goal."

  Our identities and paths in life are completely different, there's no need to stay together and discuss things, so, throw my brother out, I guarantee I'll roll out smoothly!

  “……”

  This guy, actually ignores me with his eyes closed?

  "What you would not wish for yourself, do not impose on others."

  Don't impose on others what they are unwilling to do, understand?

  “……”

  Still motionless?

  Carefully selected sentences, Lu Ying has finished reading them, and the intended meaning has also been fully expressed.

  She slowly closed the book, raised her head, and Lu Xuan looked at the nobleman who was closing his eyes and not speaking. She bowed deeply and said in a loud voice: "Lang Jun, on a cold spring day, it's better not to sleep." As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Xuan felt suffocated in her chest.

  She can't help but feel stifled, isn't that obvious enough? Isn't it clear enough? How come this person still doesn't get it?

  He let out a long sigh, Lu Yue retreated two steps back, slowly knelt down to the ground and bowed to the noble, saying in a cold tone: "I don't know how well I've read it? Please, sir, point out one or two things for me!"

  You should take a stand! You ought to take a stand now!

  Go on, you don't say, I'll wait.

  Under the gradually setting sun, Lu Ying knelt motionlessly in front of the noble, with an air that demanded an answer.

  The air around gradually became stagnant.

  Four maidservants, you look at me, I look at you, and simultaneously lower your heads, not even daring to make a sound.

  It wasn't long before the low, magnetic laughter of a nobleman suddenly came. He laughed abruptly, and his laughter was extremely pleasant to hear. When Lu Xuan heard the muffled laugh coming from the other person's chest cavity, she raised her head, staring at him with a pair of dark, watery eyes, looking unhappy.

  Finally, the noble person stood up.

  He slowly took two steps forward, came to Lu Xuan's front, and slowly squatted down. He stretched out one hand, touched Lu Xuan's black hair, and chuckled: "Don't you want to follow me?"

  Lu Xuan had already said what needed to be said, so she just bit her lip and looked stubbornly at him without teasing or provoking him again.

  A noble person's slender fingers, from Lu Xuan's beautiful hair, slowly fell onto her white face, fingernails slid across her straight nose bridge, and stroked her tender lips.

  His index finger lingered on Luo Yin's lips, his deep and wise eyes quietly gazing at Luo Yin's increasingly red face, as well as Luo Yin's increasingly angry gaze.

  Finally, when Lu Xuan's face turned red as if blood was about to drip from it and she was so humiliated that she wanted to kill someone, the nobleman laughed again.

  Among the low laughter, he stood up, "Thank you, San."

  A man in green clothes came out at the sound of his voice, "Master."

  "Go and find the real Lu Ayun and send him back to the Lu Manor."

  In Lu Xun's suddenly radiant smile, the man in green clothes took his leave.

  Lu Xuan knocked heavily on the door of the noble's residence, then stood up happily. Then, she said respectfully: "Thank you, sir, for your help. I will take my leave."

  The nobleman lazily tilted his head and waited until Lu Yue walked ten steps away before slowly calling out, "Lu Shi Ayue..."

  "Yes!" Lu Xuan quickly turned his head and bowed.

  The nobleman walked up to her and gazed down at her delicate face, after a while, he chuckled and said: "I'm even more interested in you now, what can I do?"

  Splash!

  Lu Yu's face was as white as snow.

  Looking at her frightened face, the nobleman couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing for a while, he stopped and said lazily: "It seems that Ah Yue has understood my meaning."

  He leaned forward, blew a breath into her ear and called out in a low voice: "Yingying... don't casually accept other people's marriage proposals, and don't get too close to those young men. Do you understand what I mean?"

  Lu Yun's expression stiffened.

  The nobleman suppressed a smile, reached out to stroke her white jade-like earlobe, and sighed as he rubbed it: "If the timing wasn't wrong, I really wouldn't want to let you go... Go, remember to behave. Next time if you take my words as nothing but a breeze in your ear, your brother won't be able to come back so easily. Got it?"

  Lu Xuan didn't understand, so she didn't respond. She just turned her face away, stiffly bowed to the noble, and then quickly ran off, disappearing from sight in an instant.

  Lu Yuanyuan returned home in less than a moment, and the doorbell rang outside. She rushed out in one step, hastily opening the courtyard gate. Indeed, her pale and tender younger brother appeared before her eyes.

  The four eyes met, Lu Yun rushed forward and hugged her sister tightly, calling out happily: "Sister, I miss you so much."

  Lu Xuan looked at the two men in green clothes who had left with big strides, turned around and closed the courtyard door, asking: "A Yun, where have you been for the past two days?"

  "I don't know either." Lu Yun looked a bit down, and said: "That day someone told me that my sister was detained by the Ping government. I was in a hurry and asked Mr. for leave to return home. Who knew that as soon as I left the door, I fainted. When I woke up again, I was in a very beautiful courtyard, where there were many books, and paper, pen, ink, and inkstone that would never be used up. It's just..." He blushed and said in a low voice: "It's just that those sisters don't know shame, they always tease me."

  At this point, Lu Yun raised her head and asked anxiously: "Sister, I haven't been to school for two days, will the teacher scold me? And what if my classmates ask about it? Sister, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, did you look for me for a long time? Who are those two people, how can they say they came to rescue me under your orders?"

  His questions came one after another, and Lu Xuan answered a few sentences casually before looking up and instructing: "Ayun, tomorrow if your teacher or classmates ask, just say that you've been staying at a place called Yiyuan for the past two days, and also played chess and read books with a very handsome noble. Remember, no matter who asks, you'll say the same thing."

  She thought, in the whole city of Luoyang, how many people were secretly paying attention to that nobleman. By using her brother's name to enter and exit his mansion, she was counting on today! When someone asked about it later, they would hear responses like "Lu Yun played chess with the nobleman" or "Lu Yun still reads classics in front of the nobleman".

  What kind of identity is this noble person? His attention to "Lu Yun" is enough to subdue a group of Xiao Xiaos, and can also make some people look at Lu Yun with new eyes.

  Hmph. He's just a few words away from getting himself into trouble, and I can also use his name to pave a path of glory for my younger brother!
