Chapter 23 Eavesdropping
Lu Menghua suffered a great injustice today and was crying so hard that even though he was held in Tang Xiuyan's arms, he still stretched out his hand to pat Tang Xiuyan.
"You no longer have me in your heart. After you married her, you focused on her, you liar!"
She cried aggrievedly and complained even more aggrievedly. Her body was trembling as she cried in Tang Xiuyan's arms.
Tang Xiuyan was heartbroken. He held the person in his arms and coaxed softly: "What are you talking about? You clearly know that the one I love in my heart has always been you!"
"When we first met on the street, I fell in love with you at first sight. But you are the legitimate daughter of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion. How can I, a commoner, dare to climb high? Your father will never allow you to marry me. In this case, If I am not with Lu Jiuqing, how can I come to see you openly?"
Lu Menghua looked up at him: "But why did you marry her after you were the top pick in high school?"
Tang Xiuyan pursed his lips and felt a little embarrassed: "I don't want to marry her either... But she tried her best to help me study, and all my classmates saw it, and even made it a legend, even for His Majesty. I heard it. If I regret it after high school, what will others think of me, and what will His Majesty think of me?"
Lu Menghua's eyes turned red: "Are you blaming me for not helping you in the first place?"
Tang Xiuyan: "...I didn't mean that."
Lu Menghua withdrew from his arms, lowered his head, and said with a choked voice: "I really can't blame you for this matter. She helped you, but I didn't. However, I also have my own reasons. As a Zhongyong Houfu My legitimate daughter, there are many people around you. What if I interact too closely with you and alarm my father? I am afraid that my father will interfere with your future, so I keep a distance from you. "
"I know, I know, I don't blame you."
Tang Xiuyan held the person in his arms again and coaxed him.
"You have been wronged today. I didn't know that the Ninth Prince would come to Zhongyonghou Mansion today to ask him to see you wearing Shu brocade."
"The Shu Brocade matter is fine," Lu Menghua raised his head and looked at Tang Xiuyan, "But that jasper bracelet that you clearly promised to give to me, why is it in Lu Jiuqing's hand?"
Lu Zian suddenly turned back to look at Lu Jiuqing.
Lu Jiuqing looked back at Lu Zian with a calm expression.
Lu Zian's pupils were shaking, his eyes were red, and his hands hanging by his sides were tightly clenched into fists.
He slowly turned around and continued to look at Tang Xiuyan, with a look that made him want to tear Tang Xiuyan into pieces.
Tang Xiuyan was hugging someone to comfort him: "I just said that she snatched the bracelet away. It was not what she said at all. It was not given by me."
Lu Menghua: "Why did she say that?"
Tang Xiuyan was silent for a while and then said: "Her temperament has changed a lot since that incident. The reason why she said that was probably to provoke you on purpose."
"She is now protected by the Ninth Prince, so I don't know what to do with her. But don't worry, she is in my hands now, and I have plenty of ways to deal with her."
Lu Menghua was still a little dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that the Ninth Prince is cruel and violent and murderous? How come she is still alive and well!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Jiuqing clearly felt that Lu Zian's breathing was much heavier, as if he could not bear it to the extreme.
On the other side, Tang Xiuyan said: "When the Ninth Prince's fresh energy wears off, we will slowly deal with her. Don't worry."
"As for the bracelet... I will just find an opportunity to snatch it back later. When I gain a foothold in the court, I can give you more and better ones."
