Chapter 22: Lu Youruo's True Face (2)

Lu Youruo and Lu Rong appeared in the bustling market. People walking around showed deep disdain and contempt when they saw Youruo wearing a mask.

"Miss, you are so beautiful, why do you have to wear a mask to buy betrothal gifts?" Lu Rong was puzzled. She didn't like the way people looked at her lady, it was very annoying!

Lu Youruo's eyes were on every shop he passed, and after listening to what Lu Rong said, he returned: "You also know that your lady looks like a flower. If you expose her, what if you are targeted by a pervert?"

Lu Rong thought for a while and felt that the lady was right, so he stopped making noises.

"Marry the King of Ghosts and be a pet, do you love me or not? I don't know..." Walking to the entrance of a certain alley, Youruo and Lu Rong heard several children singing a popular 'ballad' loudly.

Lu Rong got angry and yelled: "You bastards, what are you arguing about? If you don't study and read these useless things, you will become beggars when you grow up!"

Among the several children, the largest one came out. He was not afraid of the little girl Lu Rong. He glared and scolded Lu Rong: "Looking at you, you are just a maid. Why do you care about us!"

"What's wrong, maid? I'm better than you brats, I..." Before Lu Rong could finish speaking, You Ruo covered his mouth with a hand.

Youruo's exposed eyes swept over the children and whispered: "I came out today to buy gifts for Dai Mo and Ninth Prince, please don't cause trouble for me!"

"Yes, miss!" Lu Rong glared at several children before following You Ruo.

Several children recognized Lu Youruo as the protagonist in the song, and sang loudly at the top of their lungs: "Once upon a time, there was a shameless girl who looked like shit and lived like shit..."

Lu Rong felt angry and complained: "Miss, even children bully you!"

"Xiao Rongrong, these children are just instigated, we can't stop Youyou from talking!" She still ignored everyone's looks and bad words towards Youruo.

Finally, I saw a shop where I could choose the gift that You Ruo wanted. I pulled Lu Rong and walked into the shop.

When the shopkeeper saw You Ruo, he didn't look good and said, "Miss Fourth, we don't have what you want in the store!"

Lu Rong was the first to retaliate: "Shopkeeper, we haven't seen what you're selling yet. How do you know that my lady doesn't like it?"

"I won't sell it even if I take a fancy to it!" The shopkeeper opened his eyes wide, as if he was getting into a fight with Lu Rong.

Lu Youruo ignored the two of them and glanced at the jade items in the shop.

What she wanted to buy in her heart was just a jade comb, so that Dai Mo and Ninth Prince could grow old together.

Picking up a jade comb of good quality, Lu Youruo placed it on the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is this comb?"

The shopkeeper sneered and said, "If you don't want to sell it, even if you throw me a hundred thousand taels, I still won't sell it! Humph!"

Lu Rong scolded the shopkeeper and said to You Ruo: "Miss, he doesn't want to sell it, let's go to another place."

Lu Youruo shook his head. A shopkeeper could treat her like this, and even if he found the next shop, he would still not sell anything to her.

"Shopkeeper, your product will be sold sooner or later. What's the difference between selling it to me and selling it to others?" Lu Youruo argued with the shopkeeper politely.

The shopkeeper was not afraid of death and continued: "Of course it's different! You are an ugly girl! You are just a concubine after you marry, can you be the same as others?"

"Shopkeeper, I don't want the gift I ordered from your store!" Zhai Xili suddenly appeared in this jade shop.

At the wedding a few days later, as the groom's official, Zhai Xili came over to buy a betrothal gift for Xiong Daimo and send it to the general's mansion. Today happened to be the agreed time to get the betrothal gift.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that his friend Youruo was being bullied. Of course Zhai Xili was his childhood sweetheart who protected him.

Lu Youruo looked at the door and saw Zhai Xili first, and then Zhai Xiyou next to him, with a slight smile on his red lips under the mask.
