Of course Xie Yuan saw Lu Yi's expression, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only dismiss the topic with a smile.
In the Yimei Garden, all the young men put away their arrows and began to return to the banquet one after another to drink and laugh.
Who let it go? In the end, it was Zuo Yiwei Zhonglang General Chen Xiang and Wu'an Houfu's second son Xie Xu? It was nothing more than losing to Chen Xiang. He must have been born in the military, but Xie Xu is still an adult now.
children...
Seeing that all the gentlemen below had put away their arrows and returned to the banquet, the girls naturally couldn't stand by the window anymore and returned to the banquet separately.
"Hey, princess, is the butterfly hairpin on your head gone?" At this time, the maid next to Lu Rong suddenly said.
Lu Rong subconsciously raised his hand to touch his head, and then his face changed, and he couldn't help but show a bit of panic.
"Sister Rong, what's wrong?" Xie Yuan hurriedly walked towards her.
"My hairpin fell off..." Lu Rong's face turned pale.
There are so many foreigners in Houfu today, if someone picks them up...
Lu Rong didn't dare to think about it.
"Sister Rong, don't worry. The hairpin may have fallen on the road when we came here. In this case, I will go back with you to look for it." Xie Yuan took Lu Rong's hand and said to her kindly.
Lu Rong nodded.
Xie Yuan smiled, then turned to Xie Xian and said, "Third sister, I will ask you to take care of this place."
Xie Xian raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yuan in shock.
Xie Yuan had never thought of her being able to be in the spotlight like this.
Xie Yuan didn't care what Xie Xian thought. She apologized to everyone, and then she and Lu Rong led the maid out of the pavilion.
On the other side, because of Xie Xu's performance just now, everyone couldn't help but compliment him. Unexpectedly, he was very humble and polite at a young age. When he talked about Ningxia's customs, people, and interesting things in the army, he was also full of witty remarks, which surprised everyone.
It is inevitable to look at him with a high gaze, and even inadvertently ignore his current age.
Even Lu Zhan, the second young master of Lu, who has always had a high regard for words, couldn't help but praise him, "Second Young Master Xie is worthy of growing up next to the old master Hou. At such a young age, he actually looks a bit like the old master."
The demeanor of youth.”
Xie Xu touched his nose and smiled sheepishly.
Second Young Master Lu really got it right. Those interesting military anecdotes were all told by his grandfather as stories to make him happy. He just repeated his grandfather's words...
While they were chatting and joking, a maid served him wine.
A little maid came over to pour wine for Lu Zhan. She stumbled on something, and the wine cup in her hand swayed, and the wine poured onto Lu Zhan's clothes.
The little maid turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Lu Zhan frowned slightly. Before he said anything, Xie Shi immediately scolded him angrily, "How do you work as an errand? Don't you have eyes?"
"Young master, please forgive me, slave. I didn't mean to do it..." Being scolded by Xie Shi, the little maid was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
"That's all, it's just that the corners of my clothes got wet, it's no big deal." Lu Zhan said calmly.
Although Lu Zhan said this, Xie Shi's face still looked a little ugly. He looked at Lu Zhan apologetically and said, "Although my cousin said this, it is our Houfu who is rude. The weather is cold now, why don't I let me
I'll take my cousin down to clean it up."
When Lu Zhan raised his eyes to look at Xie, his thin lips were slightly hooked, and his narrow eyes seemed to have been splashed with a layer of thick ink, making it difficult to tell what was hidden inside.
Being looked at by Lu Zhan like this, even though Xie Shi tried to stay calm, he still couldn't help but show a bit of panic and guilt on his face.
Fortunately, Lu Zhan quickly looked away.
"In that case, I'll bother my cousin." After Lu Zhan said that, he stood up with a smile.
Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly called out to the little maid. After giving her some warnings, she allowed her to lead Lu Zhan down.
This was just a small incident at the table. Since Lu Zhan didn't pursue it, the others naturally dismissed it with a smile. Only Lu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly.
There is a warm pavilion built in the south of the Meiyuan Garden. Although it is small, it is extremely exquisite and has all the items. In winter, the master of the house often entertains one or two friends and distinguished guests here to enjoy the plum blossoms.
The little maid led Lu Zhan here.
"Sir, please take off your clothes and let me wash them and dry them for you." The little maid lowered her head and said timidly.
Lu Zhan walked to the couch and sat down. Seeing that there was tea on the table, he raised his hand to pour himself a cup and began to taste the tea leisurely.
"Young Master... Young Master..." After a long time of waiting for a reply, the little maid finally lost her temper and called out to Lu Zhan in a low voice.
Lu Zhan curled his lips and looked at Nuange carefully with his narrow eyes. It was not until the little maid felt guilty that she couldn't stand, and then he moved his eyes to her.
"Tell me, who ordered you to spill the drink on me."
The man on the warm couch had a face as beautiful as a crown jewel, temples as sharp as a knife, his narrow eyes held a slight smile, and his voice was lazy and sexy, but the words he spoke made her feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.
"What the master is saying, I, my slave, I don't understand..."
Lu Zhan smiled lightly, then changed his position and leaned lazily on the warm couch, and then continued, "Then to put it another way, who is going to break into the warm pavilion later?"
As soon as these words came out, the little maid was so frightened that her face turned pale, her whole body shivered uncontrollably, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "Slave, I don't know..."
"Then let me ask you again, where is your eldest daughter?"
"Big, big girl?" The little maid's eyes were filled with astonishment.
The smile in Lu Zhan's eyes instantly turned to ice, and his face became so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.
It was him who got distracted.
Now that the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is still in the hands of the Second Fang, even if she had the intention, she would not be able to get so many people to set up such a trap.
With a 'pop' sound, the teacup in Lu Zhan's hand suddenly cracked.
This movement finally made the little maid unable to stand the fright. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground, "Young master, please forgive me. I'm a slave. I'm just following orders. I don't know anything..."
"Are you girls grown up?" Lu Zhan stood up, his voice swept away the laziness just now, and it was as cold as a layer of ice.
"Hey, the eldest girl ate the wrong thing last night and got a rash, so..." The little maid was so frightened by Lu Zhan that her face turned purple. Although she didn't know why he asked the eldest girl, she still told her everything she knew.
.
Today is the church meeting, but she ate the wrong thing last night and got a rash!
There was a maid who led him here!
Oh, the second-in-command of the Marquis of Wu'an really has a lot of plans going on, but who do they think he is, Lu Zhan, and they want to plot against him with just these little tricks?
At this moment, there were brisk footsteps running towards us from outside.
Lu Zhan sneered, his eyes becoming even colder.
"Sister Rong, come and chase me..."
Following this light and charming voice, the door of the warm couch was suddenly knocked open. Immediately afterwards, Xie Yuan, wearing a bright red coat and skirt, jumped in happily with a red gold butterfly hairpin in her hand...
...The little maid pressed her face to the ground, her whole body shaking like a sieve, and she didn't even dare to breathe.
The expected situation did not occur.
What was unexpected was the way Lu Zhan looked at her, cold and gloomy, contemptuous and disdainful.
The smile on Xie Yuan's face froze instantly, and a cold air suddenly rushed up from the soles of her feet.
"Sister Yuan, don't make trouble..." At this time, Lu Rong also chased in. Perhaps because she walked too fast, her breath was a little uneven. When she saw Lu Zhan in the room, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
, and saw a shivering little maid prostrate on the ground, the surprise in her heart couldn't help but grow stronger, she couldn't help but look at Lu Zhan and whispered, "Brother, what's going on? You...why are you here?"
"
Seeing Lu Rong also coming in, the coldness on Lu Zhan's face finally faded a bit.
"What about you? Why are you here?" Lu Zhan sat back on the couch again, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he regained his appearance of a handsome young man.
Lu Rong blushed slightly, "I lost my hairpin. Sister Yuan will accompany me to find it. Let's..."
A sneer curled up at the corner of Lu Zhan's lips, and he glanced at Xie Yuan with a hint of undisguised sneer and contempt, "Miss Xie's ability to use such good tricks at such a young age is really impressive!
"
Xie Yuan's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth, her eyes were red with grievance, and she sobbed, "Zhan, Cousin Zhan, you, what are you talking about, I...why can't I understand."
Lu Zhan smiled, and the sarcasm in his eyes became more intense, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Miss Xie Er will naturally understand it when we get to Jinyiwei Prison."
Jin Yiwei ordered him to prison...
Xie Yuan staggered under her feet. She raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhan in disbelief, but she only encountered a piece of ice.
It was at this moment that she suddenly remembered that Lu Zhan was not only the emperor's grandson and the second son of Duke Dingguo, but he was also a member of the Imperial Guard...
"Brother, what happened? Is there any misunderstanding?" Seeing Xie Yuan's body crumbling, Lu Rong hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, with a bit of unbearable expression on his face.
Moreover, she really didn't know what Sister Yuan had done to make her brother so angry.
Lu Zhan seemed not to have heard Lu Rong's words, and continued to say to Xie Yuan in that extremely contemptuous tone, "Second Miss Xie, you're so ugly that you should stay in the house and don't come out to scare people, let alone use such despicable tricks.
You can use various methods to force people to accept you. After all, even if you are a concubine, people may not think highly of you!"
Lu Zhan's words were vicious and spicy, and he didn't care about Xie Yuan's face at all. Every word was like a sharp and poisonous knife, cutting into Xie Yuan's heart.
No matter how thick-skinned Xie Yuan was, how could she withstand being humiliated and ridiculed by the person she loved? She screamed immediately, pushed Lu Rong away and rushed out with her face covered.
"Sister Yuan..." Lu Rong shouted anxiously towards Xie Yuan's back.
But the shameful and angry Xie Yuan could not hear this, and her figure disappeared into the plum forest in an instant.
"Brother, how can you say that to Sister Yuan? She is a girl after all, and she is still young. You..." Lu Rong frowned and looked at his brother with a bit of resentment on his face.
Lu Zhan smiled lightly, looking like a handsome man again in his usual days, as if he was not the one who just made fun of the little girl.
"You and the girl from Xie Mansion seem to get along quite well." Lu Zhan said with a smile.
Lu Rong frowned and looked at his brother with some confusion.
Lu Zhan raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, and then continued as if nothing had happened, "I heard that sister Wu got a rash after eating the wrong thing last night. Why don't you go and check on me?"
