Lu JinNian did not want to dispute the authenticity of these words, ”My two younger sisters are like the shining stars, gorgeous like the blazing sun. I am not as beautiful as my two younger sisters.
”It's a pity that my body is covered with cold. If I pass the time of my illness and give it to my sisters, then it's my sister's fault …” May I know what business you two sisters have? ”
If you have something to say, just say it. In order not to let your Xingyun Yang perish, then disperse as soon as you can!
Lu Qingyao was a smart person. Although Lu JinNian's words sounded like he was being reserved, the intention to send them off was not too obvious. Looking at the three cups of tea placed on the table with a warm smile on his face, she tactfully didn't sit down.
”Actually, it was the Duke of Yi's residence that sent a comforting gift to all the noble young ladies who came to visit that day. When it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, Pei Yu and Pei Qing were just about to come over, so they brought it along the way. Here's the gift, I put it down for you.”
Lu JinNian smiled, ”Thank you for your trip, little sister. I'm sure it will be along the way. Young Master Pei Yu and Miss Pei Qing must be here to visit little sister Qingwan and little sister Qingyao. Big sister won't stay any longer.”
Lu Qingyao's eyes flashed, ”Little Sister saw Grandfather's guard here, I wonder if Grandfather …”
”Oh, grandpa went to the Duke of Yi's estate early in the morning. After all, what happened yesterday caused grandpa to say that it's better to leave the guards to protect the courtyard.”
”Grandfather is going to discuss with Madam Yi how to report to Empress and also ask Duke Yi to give Father a bit of trust in the marriage. No matter what happens before, there will always be orders from the parents and words from the matchmaker.”
”It seems that after father returns, little sister Qingwan's marriage should be more or less discussed. Little sister Qingyao, remember to tell aunt and little sister Qingwan.”
”If that's the case, then I won't disturb you, little sister.”
With that, Lu Qingyao left with Pei Qing.
What could Lu Qingyao's last question be about? He was still suspicious of Mu Qi's background. It seemed like his little sister was still restless …
Lu JinNian sighed with emotion, but he was even more surprised by the person who was still in his room. He leaned against a pile of pillows and tilted his head, ”Young Master Pei Yu?”
Pei Yu regained his composure and smiled humbly before bowing and cupping his hands, ”Miss Lu, please do not blame me for being rude. I am only sincerely grateful for the grace of saving my life.”
Lu Jinsheng blinked, ”Young Master Pei must be joking. I only wanted to help out a little. I didn't want to drag Young Master Pei down, let alone save his life.”
”Miss Lu is too modest.”
Pei Yu did not take Lu JinNian's words seriously. He looked at him with a serious expression. He was well aware of the situation at that time. If not for Lu JinNian's prompt decision to throw Lin Qianqian out, his movements would have been restricted at every turn.
If not for Lu JinNian's cooperation, he might have been hacked a few more times by the man in black. It could be seen that Lu JinNian's kung fu was quite good, at least he had the experience to be able to calmly and nimbly change his moves in battle.
They all say that Miss Lu is a salt free haystack. Even though she hasn't been out for four years, that probably isn't the case.
While Pei Yu was observing Lu Jin Nian, Lu Jin Nian was sizing him up as well. He had changed out from the black bamboo white robe from yesterday. Today, he was wearing a jade green robe with black hair and a crown.
Pei Yu should be the same age as his big brother, but he had already served in the Han Forest Academy for more than a year.
Although he was a leisurely man with no real power and very little work to do, he made his acquaintance with the court officials, paving the way for his future advancement. His father was the prime minister of the court, so he must have learned a lot of power from childhood and had to be on his guard.
