Just as Lu Wushuang and Dongfang Che sat down, Bei Tangye opened the door and walked in uneasy.
Seeing Lu Wushuang and Dongfang Che sitting closely together, lowering their heads to discuss something, Bei Tangye seemed to have upset the jealousy, and said sourly: "Shuang girl, when did you have such a relationship with this guy who is neither a man nor a woman?"
How about two people hiding aside and talking about secrets that I don’t know?"
And his pair of jade-like black eyes looked at Lu Wushuang with deep resentment, like a resentful husband who couldn't get love.
"Beitang Ye, don't be so suspicious all day long. Dongfang Che and I are settling accounts. If you want to listen, just sit down. If you don't listen, just sit outside." It was really annoying to be stared at by Beitang Ye's resentful eyes.
No, Lu Wushuang raised his head and explained.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Tangye sat down next to her and asked curiously: "What's the account? Is this guy who is neither a man nor a woman borrowing money from you and refusing to pay it back?"
Dongfang Che raised his head and glared at Bei Tangye, refusing to care. Dongfang Che took out his account book, spread it out, pushed it in front of Lu Wushuang, and reported the income and expenditure of the past few days.
"I have earned a total of 16,000 taels of silver from selling flowers in the past few days. Excluding the cost of purchasing the flowers, 2,220 taels, the temporary flower shop cost 150 taels, plus the wages of hiring workers.
One hundred and eighty taels, our total profit in the past few days is thirteen thousand, four hundred and fifty taels, please check and see if my calculation is correct."
Lu Wushuang read it again and nodded, "Yes."
"According to the 50-50 split we agreed on before, the two of us should each get 6,725 taels. I don't want the fraction. I'll take the whole 6,000 taels and the remaining 7,450 taels."
Both of them belong to you. I will ask Yanshan to send the silver to you later." Dongfang Che generously offered the landlord more than 700 taels of silver.
"I came up with this way to make money. I deserve a little, so I'm not polite." Lu Wushuang closed the account and smiled like a blooming flower. It was very rude, and it was natural.
said.
"Shuang girl, why did you come to him instead of me for such a good thing? Is my relationship with you not as good as this guy who is neither a man nor a woman?" Bei Tangye on the side finally understood that the two of them were doing business together.
When he thought about selling flowers, he also contributed a lot of money to Dongfang Che, which made him feel bad.
"Looking for you? Are you sure those flowers can be sold, instead of privately deciding to send them all to the performance stage?" Lu Wushuang gave Bei Tangye a look of disdain, her eyes full of distrust towards him.
Hearing this, Bei Tangye had nothing to say. He curled his lips and smiled evilly, "Shuang girl, I didn't expect that you already know me as a couple and know my temperament clearly. It seems that you still have it in your heart.
It’s mine.”
Thinking of this, Beitang Ye smiled even more coquettishly and proudly.
Lu Wushuang rolled her eyes at Bei Tangye, stood up, and walked to the dining table outside the cubicle.
"Miss Lu, I don't know that you are quite business-minded." As soon as he came out, Nangong Yu smiled warmly and praised.
"A prize, a prize, a prize." Lu Wushuang said politely with a smile.
"Huh, what's there to be proud of? It's because of the oiran competition that my imperial brother and Prince Qi prepared with money." Nangong Yudie snorted coldly, because she didn't like Lu Wushuang and regarded her as a thorn in his side.
.
Lu Wushuang was in a good mood after making money, so Lu Wushuang was too lazy to talk to Nangong Yudie so as not to affect his good mood.
In the weird atmosphere, everyone dispersed after eating.
The afternoon sun shines warmly on the lively streets of Yuezhou City.
Lu Wushuang and Bei Tangye walked on the bustling street. Neither of them made a sound, they walked forward quietly, enjoying the rare silence in the afternoon.
On the banks of the Yuecheng River, thousands of willows are swaying in the wind. The breeze blows on the lake, and the fine waves are sparkling, stretching into the distance.
Lu Wushuang stood by the lakeside, pulling at the slightly yellowed willow leaves in boredom. Bei Tangye stood beside her, tilting his head, his soft and watery eyes hovering on her beautiful face full of sunshine.
Reluctant to move away.
"Shuang girls, I'm going back to Overlook City in a few days. Come back with me." Bei Tangye suddenly moved Lu Wushuang's body and made her stand face to face with him. The look in his eyes was like nothing he had ever seen before.
serious.
"No." Lu Wushuang hesitated for a moment and rejected Beitang Ye directly.
"Why?" Bei Tangye asked with a hint of pain in his eyes.
"Herb is buried in Wubu Mountain in Yuezhou. I want to stay in Yuezhou so that I can go to the mountain to see her every day."
Such an excuse would not convince Bei Tangye at all.
"Shuang girls, is it because of your mother's problems that you don't want to accompany me to the city?"
Lu Wushuang's eyes flashed slightly, and a wry smile escaped from his lips, "Actually, it's not all because of your mother. I have my own reasons. Do you know? When I left Tiaocheng, I shouldn't have let Vanilla dress up as a pregnant woman.
.If she didn’t pretend to be a pregnant woman, Vanilla wouldn’t have died so miserably.”
Thinking of the scene at that time, Lu Wushuang hated herself. The joy of making money was instantly replaced by Vanilla's death, and tears slipped out of the corners of her eyes.
"Dead people cannot be resurrected. Besides, Xianghua has always been loyal to you and regards you as a sister. I believe that what she wants to see most is your happy life, rather than living in the pain of her tragic death all day long." Beitang Ye said.
He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Lu Wu's eyes with his hand and guided her.
"I'm not a good sister. I didn't protect her well." The words "I treat you like a sister" made Lu Wushuang even more sad. Her tears were uncontrollable and she flowed more joyfully.
Seeing her so fragile for the first time, Bei Tangye's heart twitched, and he stretched out his arms to hug Lu Wushuang, letting her lean on his chest and cry heartily.
The silent crying finally turned into loud and sad crying.
Although Lu Wushuang had shed tears since the tragic death of Xianghua, he had never indulged his emotions like he did today, releasing all the sadness and guilt in his heart through crying.
After crying for half an hour, Lu Wushuang stopped crying. His eyes were swollen like big walnuts. Bei Tangye's clothes on his chest were heavily wet.
"You are also tired from the oiran competition today. I will carry you back to the inn to rest." Without saying any unnecessary words of comfort, Beitang Ye bent down and directly expressed his concern through actions.
Lu Wushuang nodded and jumped on Bei Tangye's back, enjoying the warmth radiating from his body.
The breeze was blowing and the sun was warm. Not long after, Lu Wushuang lay on Bei Tangye's back and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was already nightfall, and a waning moon hung in the sky, emitting a dim light.
"You must be hungry. Wipe your face first, then get up and eat."
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Bei Tangye holding a warm towel in front of him. Lu Wushuang's heart shrank, and she was moved in her heart.
After not seeing Lu Wushuang for a long time, he took the towel and wiped his face. Bei Tangye curled his lips and gave a faint smile. This smile was like the ice and snow melting, and the bamboo curtain was crisp and charming. He moved his hand and gently wiped Lu Wushuang's face with the towel.
"I'll do it myself." Lu Wushuang felt a little embarrassed and took the towel to wipe his face.
After wiping his face and filling his stomach, Lu Wushuang looked at the darkening sky outside the house and guessed that the city gate might have been closed. It seemed that he would have to stay overnight in the city today.
That night, since the meal, Beitangye didn't mention taking her back to Wangcheng again, and rarely bothered her.
After Lu Wushuang finished eating, he went to the inn where Dongfang Che was staying. After collecting the money, he stayed at the inn for one night.
The next day, as the morning light began to shine and the city gate opened, Lu Wushuang was eating breakfast in the inn, but did not wait for Beitang Ye to appear.
"It seems that he has given up on persuading him to go back to overlooking the city." Without seeing Beitang Ye, Lu Wushuang felt complicated and a little disappointed.
After waiting for a while, Bei Tangye's figure had not yet appeared, and even Tie Yi and the four shadow guards around him were nowhere to be seen.
"She disappeared early in the morning. Even the hidden guards and Tieyi disappeared. Could it be that she followed her example and quietly returned to Overlook City without saying goodbye?" Lu Wushuang guessed with a gloomy expression, feeling a little sad in his heart.
After slowly finishing his breakfast and drinking another cup of tea, but still missing Beitang Ye, Lu Wushuang, sad and disappointed, hired a carriage and drove to the North City Gate.
People are so strange, they pretend to be pretentious when they are there, but once they leave, they always feel indescribably lost and sad.
After passing through the bustling streets, when the carriage arrived at the North City Gate, the crowd was so crowded that the carriage could not pass, so the coachman had to stop the carriage.
"What's going on? Why don't you leave?" Lu Wushuang sat in the carriage with a gloomy face and asked through the curtain.
"Girl, there are so many people at the city gate that the carriage can't pass." As soon as the coachman finished speaking, he screamed, "Ah, there is someone standing on the city tower who wants to commit suicide by jumping off the tower."
It is human nature to love watching the excitement. Lu Wushuang is no exception.
I saw Lu Wushuang getting out of the carriage and looking up at the city tower. A man was standing on the crenellated wall above the city tower. The cold wind was blowing. The man's black hair was flying and his clothes were flying, like an immortal who wanted to ride the wind back.
.
But why does the person on the tower look familiar, like Beitang Ye?
This idea just came to mind. Tieyi, who had disappeared all morning, suddenly walked out of the crowd, walked to Lu Wushuang, knelt down on one knee, and begged: "Miss Lu, since you rejected the prince yesterday and refused to follow him,
After we went back to overlooking the city together, he couldn't think about it anymore. When he got up early in the morning, he ran to the city tower and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the tower. No matter how his subordinates tried to persuade the prince, they refused to listen. Usually, the prince listens to your words the most. Please, please
Go up and persuade the prince to come down."
"Beitang Ye wants to commit suicide. How is this possible? I never believe it." Lu Wushuang shook her head. She knew very well that Beitang Ye and she were on the same side. Although there were times when she was sad, her heart was strong. Others
They are all dead, but she is still alive and well. Just like the tragic death of Vanilla, Lu Wushuang was very painful and sad. She could go on a killing spree to avenge her death, or she could refuse to follow Beitang because of Vanilla's death.
Ye returned to Wangcheng, but he never thought of committing suicide out of self-blame and sadness.
"Miss Lu, this time the prince is serious. For your sake, he didn't even listen to the emperor's words. He disobeyed the saint and came to Yuezhou City to find you." Tieyi knelt on one knee with a mournful expression. The dignified man was heartbroken.
His appearance is unbearable.
As soon as Tie Yi finished speaking, someone immediately screamed: "Look, that person is really going to jump down."
Lu Wushuang raised his head and looked at the tower where the autumn wind was hunting. He saw Beitang Ye closing his eyes, spreading his arms, and leaning forward slightly, like an eagle about to spread its wings and fly.
"He can't really think too hard and be stupid enough to jump down." Seeing Beitang Ye's movements about jumping off the tower, Lu Wushuang was not sure.
"Miss Lu, please go up and persuade the prince. If the prince really jumps from the city tower, the guards who are following us will naturally not be able to escape the blame. We may also implicate the officials of Yuezhou and Yuezhou."
The people of the city." Seeing Lu Wushuang's hesitant look, Tie Yi made the matter serious.
After thinking carefully about Tie Yi's words, regardless of whether Bei Tangye wanted to jump off the tower or not, she decided to go up to the tower to have a look and give some advice.
Panting and running up to the tower, Lu Wushuang felt the cold wind blowing through her. Only then did Lu Wushuang really feel that the wind was so cold and late autumn had really arrived.
She continued to walk forward, walked to the crenel wall where Bei Tangye was standing, looked up at him, and reprimanded loudly: "Beitang Ye, since ancient times, only women have played the trick of crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves.
You are a grown man and you ran up to this city tower and stood there. Why are you so crazy? Come down quickly."
"If you don't come down, I won't come down unless you agree to go back to Tiaocheng with me." Hearing Lu Wushuang's voice, Beitang Ye felt a burst of joy in his heart. But when he turned around to face Lu Wushuang, he pretended to be
He looked melancholy and sad. While speaking, he took a step back towards the crenellated wall of the tower.
"Beitang Ye, why do you have to force me to go back to Overlook City? You clearly know that once I go back to Overlook City, you will be the most difficult person in the middle." Lu Wushuang raised his head and looked at the man standing more than two meters high.
Beitang Ye stood on the crenel wall. She hated threats. She had an angry look on her face and did not agree.
"Shuang girls, you really don't want to come back to Overlook City with me. Even if I really jump from this tower, you still don't want to go back to Overlook City with me?" Bei Tangye's face suddenly showed an unprecedented expression.
With a serious expression, his dark eyes were slightly lowered, and when he met Lu Wushuang's black pupils, he clenched the hands in his sleeves into fists and asked.
"I promised your mother that I will never set foot on the land of Wangcheng again in this life."
Lu Wushuang's rejection made Beitang Ye shrink in heart. Tenderness and determination appeared in his eyes at the same time, "Shuang girl, you must remember that even if I, Beitang Ye, die, my love for you will never be the same."
If it stops, it will continue in the underworld."
After the words fell, Bei Tangye gave Lu Wushuang one last affectionate and nostalgic look, "Wushuang, I love you." He called Lu Wushuang's maiden name affectionately for the first time, reluctantly looked away, turned around, and stepped forward.
