Chapter 1698: Let’s have a cup of tea to relieve tiredness
"Girl, Mr. Wang, I see you are here!" Outside Wu Xu's room, the voice of the old lady of the Wu family was filled with joy.
The old lady of the Wu family will certainly be happy that the young master of the Wang family can put aside his old grudges and come to the Wu Mansion again.
The door was pushed open, and Wu Xu looked coldly at the young master of the Wang family standing at the door.
"Miss Wu Xu, I..."
"Who allowed you to come in? Get out!" Wu Xu scolded Young Master Wang unceremoniously.
Mr. Wang's face looked slightly ugly, but he did not get angry immediately.
However, the old lady of the Wu family immediately spoke out: "You are so impudent. Who told you to speak to the Wang family master like this?"
"Last time you offended Mr. Wang, I wish he didn't settle the score with you. Today, he even came to visit you in person. How dare you scold him?"
"Do you really think that after living in Prince Han's Mansion for a while, you are already a phoenix flying on the branches?"
"Aunt Wu, don't say that. Miss Wu Xu may be in a bad mood. It was my fault last time. I shouldn't have offended Miss Wu Xu. I apologize to Miss Wu Xu." Mr. Wang immediately acted as the good guy between the two.
The old lady of the Wu family was very satisfied with her attitude.
"Then you guys chat, I'll leave first, old lady." The old lady of the Wu family left with a smile.
Seeing the old lady from the Wu family leaving, the smile on Mr. Wang's face grew stronger.
With the support of the old lady of the Wu family, he was not worried at all that he would not be able to win the title of Wu Xu.
Seeing that Wu Xu was still sullen and silent, Mr. Wang tried his best to break the deadlock, which made Dou Wu Xu happy.
Then he thought of Zhao Chen whom he had just seen at the gate of Wu Mansion.
He smiled and said: "Miss Wu Xu doesn't know, I just saw a young man outside, and he actually came to pursue Miss Wu Xu."
"But that person is not as good-looking as me. After all, with my appearance, it is difficult to find one or two people in the entire Tang Dynasty who can compare with me."
Wu Xu didn't care about what Mr. Wang said.
What she was thinking about at the moment was how to escape from Wu Mansion.
Otherwise, she would really be forced by her mother to marry the man in front of her.
Although she didn't have much contact with Prince Wu Xu of the Wang family, she heard a lot about the Prince's romantic affairs from her servants.
Wu Xu also roughly guessed that the Wang family's pursuit of him, in addition to coveting his own beauty, also probably wanted to get into Zhao Chen's relationship through him.
"Master Wang, actually my relationship with the King of Han is not good. The King of Han even wanted to kill me several times."
"So Mr. Wang probably cannot get involved with the King of Han, and he may even offend His Highness the King of Han." Wu Xu said, hoping that his words would make Mr. Wang retreat and leave.
When Prince Wang heard what Wu Xu said, his expression immediately changed.
But he is also a smart man, and he cannot just believe whatever he says by force.
"Even if marrying Miss Wu Xu will offend His Highness the King of Han, Mr. Wang is not afraid. Mr. Wang is sincere to Miss Wu Xu." Prince Wang's pretentious attitude made Wu Xu secretly laugh in his heart.
If she hadn't known what Young Master Wang was like, she would have believed what Young Master Wang said.
"Young Master Wang just said that he met a young man outside. Did he say anything?" Wu Xu wanted to inquire about Zhao Chen outside.
But Wu Xu didn't know that Zhao Chen actually came to Lizhou in person.
Otherwise she wouldn't be sitting here!
"What can he say? After I said a few words, he didn't dare to speak." Young Master Wang belittled Zhao Chen unceremoniously.
When Wu Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his eyes.
But she still wanted to know who sent this person from Chang'an and why he came to her home.
"Young Master Wang, can you do me a favor?" Wu Xu looked at the Young Master Wang.
Prince Wang was overjoyed. This was the first time Wu Xu spoke to him in a pleading tone.
"Of course!" Mr. Wang agreed without even thinking about it.
"I am grounded at home by my mother, but I want to go outside for a walk to relax. Can Mr. Wang take me out?" Wu Xu looked at Mr. Wang expectantly.
The young master of the Wang family couldn't bear this, and immediately agreed: "This matter will be taken care of by Wang."
…
"Girl Wu Xu, you can take whatever you see on the street. Most of them are the property of our Wang family."
"Even if they are not there now, they can be tomorrow." Mr. Wang accompanied Wu Xu, pointing to the two rows of shops on the street, and said with a proud look on his face.
Wu Xu nodded and said nothing.
Where does she care about this now?
She just wanted to know where the man from Chang'an had gone now.
"Young Master Wang, do you know where the people who were with you outside our house today went?" Wu Xu asked Young Master Wang.
Young Master Wang frowned. He brought Wu Xu out to relax, not to ask her to find that guy from Chang'an.
Don't say you don't know, even if you know, you will definitely not take her to find it.
So he said with a little regret: "Miss Wu Xu, I'm so sorry, I don't know where that person went."
"Maybe he went back to Chang'an after being humiliated by Aunt Wu."
When Prince Wang said this, he actually seemed to want Wu Xu to understand that you, the old lady of the Wu family, had offended the envoy from Chang'an.
Don't even think about getting involved with Chang'an now.
When Wu Xu heard this, his heart suddenly became cold.
She didn't know why the people from Chang'an were looking for her.
Could it be that something happened in Chang'an, so...
Thinking of this, Wu Xu couldn't help but start to worry.
"Miss Wu Xu, let's go to this restaurant for lunch. This restaurant is the signature of my Wang family." Young Master Wang pointed to a very good restaurant next to him and said to Wu Xu.
Wu Xu had no clue now and did not refuse the invitation from Young Master Wang.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant saw that he was his young master, and he quickly greeted them flatteringly.
"Serve all the signature dishes. If you are not afraid of waste, go ahead and let Aunt Wu Xu have a taste of your craftsmanship." Mr. Wang said calmly.
"Yes, yes, sir, please sit down in the private room upstairs." The shopkeeper personally led the two of them upstairs.
Soon, all kinds of delicacies arrived one after another, filling a whole round table.
"Miss Wu Xu, try this. This steamed eight-treasure duck is a specialty of our cook." The young master of the Wang family was very attentive to Wu Xu.
But it was obvious that Wu Xu's thoughts were not on eating and drinking.
After reluctantly eating a few mouthfuls, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full. Let's go to the window and look at the scenery."
Young Master Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and saw Wu Xu walking to the window. He was completely immersed in the people coming and going on the street, and did not notice him at all.
He quickly dropped a red powdery substance from his hand and put it into the tea beside him.
After shaking it gently, the powder dissolved in the tea. Young Master Wang walked up behind Wu Xu with the tea in his hand with an excited look on his face, and said with a smile: "Have a cup of tea to relieve your tiredness!"
