C46 (1/2)

There was still some time before the banquet would begin, but the family members of the court officials had already entered the palace, talking to the familiar ladies while waiting.

Some of the ladies who couldn't let go of him stayed by his wife's side, while some of the noble young ladies who couldn't let go of him ran to the imperial garden to take a stroll.

Lu JinNian didn't want to stay with Mrs Shen, and didn't know much about her either. He ran to the fake hill behind the imperial garden and found a place to sit and bask in the sun.

The spring sun was not dazzling. Lu Jinsheng lazily narrowed his eyes as he looked at the sky. He could hear some noise coming from behind the rock garden. As he listened carefully, one of the sounds sounded very familiar.

”Does Young Master Drinking Alone really plan on wasting his life like this?” ”As long as you are not too absorbed in your emotions, I am willing to do anything for you!”

Shen Yin said, ”Miss Lin, please don't try to persuade me anymore. As for what kind of person I am, I know my own limitations and I am not worthy to be with you.”

”I don't believe you. Is it because young master thinks that Wei'er is just a useless girl? Or has he already had his own heart? ”

”There are many good men in Liang Jing who are worthy of the young mistress, why are you so determined to drink a cup of tea without a cure?”

”You weren't like this in the past,” Lin Wei'er sounded a little choked up. ”You must have someone you like, Miss Ning Lan?”

Lin Wei'er watched as he bit his lip, then turned and ran.

Lu JinNian rubbed her nose and felt that it was best if she didn't go out for the time being. Although listening to the side of the wall wasn't her own intention, if someone found out that she was in the corner, she would be too embarrassed.

However, his heart was filled with melancholy. He had thought that Shen Yin would be a slob who would indulge himself with emotions. It didn't matter if he were to be married into the family and raise his wife according to his original plan; he hadn't thought that there would be someone who would fall in love with him.

Lu Jinnian began to consider changing targets, otherwise, what would he do if the little girl looked at him with jealousy? Moreover, from the sound of it, there was a reason why Shen Yin decided to change into dregs at his discretion?

Listening carefully to the movements on the fake mountain, Lu JinNian only stood up to change places after Shen Yin had left. Then, he looked into a pair of amber clear eyes.

Xiao Su smiled at Lu JinNian, ”A-Jin, you're eavesdropping on other people's conversation.”

”…” After hearing about the situation in the corner, they were even captured by others. What should they do!?

Lu JinNian smiled in embarrassment and pretended to be stupid, ”What did the Prince say? My daughter doesn't understand. Eavesdrop? Has Your Highness heard anything? ”

If he said he heard it, then the one listening at the foot of the wall would be him, not her!

Xiao Su frowned slightly, not agreeing with the question. Instead, it was Lu Jinniang who called him with dissatisfaction, ”A-Jin doesn't keep his word.”

Lu JinNian was stunned for a moment before he helplessly said, ”Your highness, this is the Imperial Palace.” She could only call him by his name or whatever he wanted to call her in private. She didn't want to attract any attention by calling him by his name in the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Su paused, nodded her head, and stopped correcting the address. ”Why is A Jin here alone?”

Lu JinNian spread out his hands, ”As a saltless bag of grass, isn't it normal to be alone?”

Xiao Su glanced at her, not bothering to check the sincerity in her words. ”I'm also alone. Why don't you join us like last time?”
