Chapter 427 - The Charismatic Pitiful Prince (1/2)
Tang Yin stared at Lu Yin Ze's back.
She then nudged Tang Xinyang's elbow.
”What?”
Tang Yin gestured to her. 'Talk to him.'
Tang Xinyang: ???
Tang Yin made a sad face, then a happy one: 'He looked down. Cheer him up.'
Tang Xinyang: ???
She looked at Lu Yin Ze's back before whispering to Tang Yin.
”He always looks like that.”
The latter inched closer and whispered back. ”Always like that? Like, 'the whole world turned its back on me' look?”
Her elder sister nodded. ”You think this look is bad? Girl, if you met the Lu Yin Ze from three years ago, you'll know what's bad. He was more of a downer before. He's actually much better now.”
Tang Xinyang had an inkling that Lu Yin Ze must had met a few setbacks in the past, but she dared not to ask before.
She was not close enough yet with Lu Yin Ze to rightfully pry about his past. Thankfully, this 'sentimental' prince had become much better after hanging out with Xiong Zhi for a few years.
Tang Yin could not believe it.
”Why do you say so?”
”Because this guy now is really different from the past, when he was like an emo-standing-under-the-rain type. Right, it's that feeling.” She leaned closer. ”Do you remember the rumors about Master Lu's ex-son-in-law?”
”Which one of those? There are many rumors about him, many of which I totally forgot.”
”You know, the worst one. The rumors about killing his own wife.”
Tang Yin remembered that particular rumor.
They were attending the funeral of Lu Yin Ze's mother back then when they were still very young. That was when the two of them heard those rumors, though it died down and was buried under the snow by another budding rumor. However, it left her a deep impression as she learned the word 'husband' and how it meant to choose a good husband.
But...
”Yeah, but I remember that the Lady of the Lu House died because of leukemia.”
Tang Xinyang shook her head with a knowing look.
”Apparently, there is more to that.”
The petite short-haired girl's eyes went wide and chided, ”Don't say things carelessly. We are in the Lu mansion.” Yet her heart skipped a beat in nervous curiosity.
Unable to bear her curiosity, she inched closer and asked, ”Why do you say so?”
