Yang's methods really... didn't surprise her at all.
A sneer flashed across Xie Wu's lips.
Lu Zhan looked at Xie Wu silently from the side, and he could see every expression and every movement of hers. He rubbed the tea cup in his hand, his narrow eyes were dark and deep, and there was something hidden underneath that was not easily noticed by others.
Undercurrent.
Xie Wu soon noticed the darkness in Lu Zhan's eyes.
"Thank you, Second Young Master, for telling me this. I will be careful." Xie Wu looked up into Lu Zhan's eyes and smiled.
Lu Zhan also smiled and said, "It's just a little effort. If sister Wu needs help anywhere, just ask."
Xie Wu curled her lips and did not answer Lu Zhan's words.
Lu Zhan didn't care. He smiled and raised his hand to refill Xie Wu's tea. He also smiled and gave her a look.
Xie Wu lowered her eyes, suppressed all the tumbling thoughts in her heart, and followed Lu Zhan's wishes and took another sip of tea.
She really couldn't understand Lu Zhan more and more.
Why did he come here today? Could it be that he came here to remind her on purpose? But he has never been a nosy person, and he never paid so much attention to the Wu'an Hou Mansion in his previous life...
Is it because of her father?
After all, in the previous life, her father only held the position of Minister of War, and was suppressed by the veterans at the Ministry of War. However, in this life, his father held the post of Deputy General Zuo Yiwei.
Perhaps, there was something Lu Zhan wanted to do here, so he paid so much attention to the Hou Mansion, and even came over in person to try to sell it in front of her?
Xie Wu thought to herself, but she still felt that these reasons were not enough to make Lu Zhan do these things.
Thinking of this, Xie Wu felt an inexplicable feeling of suffocation in her chest, and the hand holding the tea cup unconsciously tightened a little more.
Lu Zhan's thoughts are so deep that it's outrageous. She has lived in two lifetimes, but she still can't guess what he's thinking. It's so hateful!
"What is sister Wu thinking?" Lu Zhan was keenly aware of the flash of resentment in Xie Wu's eyes, and he intuitively felt that the resentment was directed at him, so he hurriedly turned to her face and said to her with a smile.
Ah Wu...
Sister Wu...
In the previous life, Lu Zhan had never called her this.
Xie Wu snorted in her heart, but she still didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "I was wondering, how could the second young master suddenly be so kind to remind me of this?"
Lu Zhan smiled and said in a lazy voice, "Of course it's because I don't want to see Sister Wu suffer a loss."
Seeing Lu Zhan's appearance, Xie Wu knew that she couldn't get anything out of him, so she simply said, "The princess has been here for so long, she should have picked out the fabrics and styles."
I don't want to talk to him anymore.
Lu Zhan tilted his head and looked at Xie Wu, the smile on his lips became a little deeper, but he refused to answer her words.
Xie Wu finally couldn't help but frowned.
Lu Zhan smiled again, staring at Xie Wu with his dark eyes, and his lazy voice sounded again, but this time, Xie Wu was so shocked that she almost dropped the tea cup in her hand.
"Ah Wu, it's time for you to have your haircut next March..."
Xie Wu stared at Lu Zhan, wishing she could make two holes in him!
Looking at Xie Wu's eyes, Lu Zhan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Lu Zhan!" Xie Wu could no longer restrain the anger in her heart, she gritted her teeth and shouted his name fiercely.
Lu Zhan laughed even louder, and his joyful laughter filled the room.
Xie Wu finally lost her composure, and stood up with a flick of her sleeves. She walked towards the door without even looking at Lu Zhan.
"Ah Wu, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to come to me." Lu Zhan looked at Xie Wu's back angrily leaving, but couldn't help but shout at her back.
However, Xie Wu didn't even pause for a moment. She opened the curtain and stepped out.
Lu Zhan looked at the swaying curtain and couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
Such a vivid Xie Wu...
"Sister Wu." Seeing Xie Wu coming out, Lu Rong hurriedly called her.
"Princess, my mother is still waiting for me in the mansion, so I'll leave first." Xie Wu bowed to her, and then led the maid into the carriage without looking back.
Lu Rong pursed his lips, and finally raised his feet and entered the private room inside again.
In the private room, Lu Zhan's eyebrows and eyes were all covered with smiles. Seeing Lu Rong come in, the smile on his lips became a little deeper, "Ah Wu is gone?"
"Ah Wu?" Lu Rong frowned and looked at his brother in disbelief.
Lu Zhan just glanced at her lightly.
"Brother, you, you and Sister Wu..." Lu Rong almost screamed. She hurriedly covered her mouth, then walked to sit next to Lu Zhan in three steps and two steps, with a panicked look on her face.
She held his arm and said, "Brother, you won't give Sister Wu to..."
Sister Wu looked really bad when she left.
"What are you thinking about!" Lu Zhan raised his hand and tapped Lu Rong's head gently.
Thanks to Wu, it’s not time for her haircut yet...
After hearing what Lu Zhan said, Lu Rongchang breathed a sigh of relief. She stuck out her tongue at Lu Zhan and then explained to him softly, "I also noticed that sister Wu looked wrong just now, so..."
Lu Zhan glanced at his sister, then picked up the tea cup and took a leisurely sip of tea.
"Don't blame me for overthinking it, but Sister Wu has indeed changed a bit recently. She used to call me Sister Rong like Sister Yuan, but these two times we met, she always called me Princess..."
A 'pop' sound interrupted Lu Rong's words.
It was the sound of a tea cup breaking.
"Brother..." Lu Rong was startled.
Lu Zhan didn't move. The tea dripped down his palm and fell to the floor. His narrow eyes were as black as a winter night, and something was rolling and stirring inside.
Lu Zhan's face gradually turned pale.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lu Rong had never seen such an expression on Lu Zhan's face, and she was a little frightened.
Lu Zhan let go of his hand and watched the broken porcelain pieces in his hand fall to the ground. Then he looked up at Lu Rong and smiled bitterly, "Arong, in the future, you have to say more nice things for your brother!"
If Ah Wu is really as he expected, just like him...
Lu Zhan suddenly felt a little afraid to think about it any further.
Even after getting on the carriage, Xie Wu's expression still did not improve. She kept replaying the words Lu Zhan said in her mind, as well as the meaningful smile on his lips when he said those words...
"Damn it!" Xie Wu suddenly raised her hand and swept down the tea cup on the small table.
Fortunately, there was no tea in the tea cup. Even so, Mi Yue was still shocked.
This was the first time she had seen the girl look so angry and frustrated. Could it be that something had just happened in Jinxiufang?
"Girl, are you okay?" Mi Yue looked at Xie Wu and asked cautiously.
Xie Wu took a deep breath and suppressed the surging resentment in her chest, "I'm fine."
No matter what Lu Zhan's idea was in this fight, she didn't want to have anything to do with him in this life. Anyway, there was nothing he could do for her now.
"By the way, I met Lu at Jinxiufang today... Don't mention the matter of Second Young Master Lu and the princess to anyone." Xie Wu thought for a while, then looked at Mi Yue and told her.
Mi Yue nodded hurriedly.
After returning to the Hou Mansion, Xie Wu went to see the Chen family.
Mrs. Chen was sitting on the couch and making shoes seriously. When she saw Xie Wu coming in, she quickly put down the needlework in her hand and said, "Wu, you are back."
Xie Wu smiled and her eyes fell on the half-made shoes resting on Chen's legs. She looked at the size, then smiled and said to Chen, "Did mother make these shoes for A Xu?"
Before Xie Zheng went to Zuoyiwei to report on his duties, he sent Xie Xu to Songyang Academy. Songyang Academy had strict rules and a lot of homework every day. Xie Xu was a latecomer and was not very up to date on his homework, so,
As soon as the results of the quiz came out, Xie Zheng immediately ordered someone to pack up Xie Xu's bedding and stuff him into the academy together with his bedding without saying a word, and ordered him not to return home until the holidays.
Although Xie Xu wanted to resist, he could not withstand his father's pressure, and finally stayed in the academy.
After listening to Xie Wu's words, Mrs. Chen smiled coquettishly, pinched the shoes in her hand uneasily and whispered, "I heard it's cold in the mountains. I was afraid that A Xu would catch a cold, so I wanted to make him a pair of shoes..."
Xie Wu smiled lightly and followed Chen's words, "It is indeed quite cold on the mountain, but my mother was thoughtful."
It was obviously a very ordinary sentence, but Mrs. Chen felt flustered and guilty after hearing it. She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xie Wu's hand and said to her, "Awu, I'm not just for your brother... wait.
I have made A Xu’s shoes, and I will make them for you too.”
Xie Wu laughed dumbly. Originally, she didn't plan to say anything, but when she looked at Mrs. Chen's cautious and guilty look, for some reason, she suddenly felt an indescribable tiredness in her heart.
"Mother knows what size shoes I wear?"
Ms. Chen was stunned for a moment.
Seeing Mrs. Chen's expression, Xie Wu immediately smiled, but the smile on her face was obviously lighter than before.
"Ah Wu..."
"I came here to tell mother that Jinxiufang will deliver the clothes in two days. Mother has made shoes, which can be sent to A Xu together with the clothes." Xie Wu smiled and revealed the clothes she had just made.
if.
Mrs. Chen nodded, pursed her lips, and was about to ask Xie Wu what size shoes she wore, when she heard Xie Wu's voice rang again.
"It just so happens that Mi Yue's brother is working in the front yard. Mother will ask him to send her off when the time comes."
"Okay, then Ah Wu, I'll make A Xu's shoes as soon as possible, and then make them for you... Ah Wu, what size shoes do you wear?" Mrs. Chen mustered up the courage.
"I have shoes to wear, so I won't bother mother." Xie Wu said lightly. After saying that, she stood up and said, "Mother, I have something to do in the house, so I will go back first."
"Ah Wu..." Mrs. Chen murmured and called out to Wu.
Xie Wu blessed her with blessings, and then led the maid out without looking back.
She knew a long time ago that in Chen's heart, she would always be the one at the back...
Her world, her husband, and her son occupy the most important position, while she only occupies a small corner in her heart, which is insignificant and can be abandoned at any time!
