Xia Han looked stunned and hurriedly bent towards Lin Yinan before being dragged away by Lu Zhiyao.
"Where is your room?" Lu Zhiyao asked the person behind him as he walked.
Xia Han brought Lu Zhiyao into the room and saluted. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Eighth Imperial Concubine in front of him, and hearing her saying that there was no need to be polite, Xia Han was curious about what she wanted to give him.
"This, this, and this, take a look, do you like it?" Lu Zhiyao walked to the table, took out a few boxes from his arms, opened them, and then looked at Xia Han flatteringly and asked.
Xia Han walked over slowly and was shocked when she saw the two beaded hairpins and jade bracelets. She was once a daughter of a famous family and had seen many good things worn. So Lu Zhiyao took
Xia Han took a quick look at the three pieces of jewelry that came and knew they were not vulgar.
"Eighth Princess, this..." Xia Han looked at Lu Zhiyao hesitantly. She had always been wary of Lu Zhiyao, feeling that Lu Zhiyao had some intention for her, but what was the purpose of this move?
"Given to you." Lu Zhiyao could tell from Xia Han's expression that these things were very much what she wanted.
Lu Zhiyao still remembers Xia Han's distressed expression when she broke two jade bracelets while wielding a knife and a gun. From that time on, Lu Zhiyao didn't like wearing jewelry much, so most of the things he got
, were all given to Xia Han. At that time, Xia Han's favorite thing to do was to go to her room to pick out jewelry, and then look at her with a look of anticipation and fear, for fear that she would not agree.
It was a very proud thing for Xia Yao at that time to win her sister's favor with just a few small pieces of jewelry. Xia Han and she were not born from the same mother. When she was young, she mostly followed her brother.
Xia Tian ran away from behind. Only when she realized that her sister had grown up and had fear in her eyes every time she saw her did she think of trying to please and get close to her sister.
"Thank you to the Eighth Princess for your kindness, but Xia Han can't accept this thing." Xia Han shook his head repeatedly, not daring to take such an expensive gift. "I can't even send any gifts to the Eighth Princess when she marries the Eighth Prince, so why not now?
I can get the Eighth Princess’ things.”
"You can take it if I tell you to." Lu Zhiyao closed the box nonchalantly, and then looked at Xia Han's face. Seeing that Xia Han's figure was not emaciated, she felt more at ease. "Live here.
Are you still used to it?"
"I'm used to it. When we moved here, the Eighth Prince had already sent people to clean it up."
"That's good. The Eighth Prince and I are leaving the capital for a while, and I have wronged you and Brother Bai." Lu Zhiyao sighed, then waved to Xia Han and said, "Come sit here, I have something to say.
I'll tell you."
Xia Han cautiously walked to Lu Zhiyao's side. Lu Zhiyao raised his hand and pulled him, and sat down on the chair.
"Nangong Lingfeng will return to the capital soon. The Eighth Prince and I are not here. If he finds out that you are still alive, you can imagine the consequences. So during this period, I have to force you to hide.
Once you hide, you must not expose any flaws, do you understand?"
"I understand." Xia Han nodded solemnly, and she did not dare to neglect the Nangong family.
"Not only Nangong Lingfeng is back, but Nangong Nuo'er is also back. The Nangong family is shifting their focus back to the capital little by little. It's unknown what they are planning."
"Nangong Nuo'er?" Xia Han frowned when he heard the name. "Hasn't she been gone for a long time?"
"She came back to marry the seventh prince."
When Xia Han heard what Lu Zhiyao said, he immediately sneered. His indifferent expression was completely different from her usual one.
"I thought that the Nangong family was so promising. If I didn't come back, I would never come back. Now that I saw an opportunity, why didn't I run back to the capital for that man? If my sister hadn't been killed by them,
In what turn would she have this opportunity!"
Xia Han finished speaking straightforwardly, and then he held his breath late in the morning, realizing that he was too talkative, and also remembered his hatred for Xia Yao.
Xia Han said nothing more, and Lu Zhiyao smiled in relief. "After the Nangong family falls, it won't be too late for you to say these words in front of them. Xiao Han, you don't know martial arts, so
I have to worry about your safety even more. If Brother Bai and the others are involved in something, and you are in crisis and cannot find anyone from the Eighth Prince, then go to the Chu family in the city and find Chu Ziqian, the young master of the Chu family.
He helps, understand?"
"Chu family, Chu Ziqian." Xia Han silently wrote down Lu Zhiyao's words, nodded, and looked at Lu Zhiyao silently. After a while, Xia Han asked: "The Eighth Imperial Concubine treats me like this
It’s great, but because of my sister?”
"What do you want to say?" Lu Zhiyao asked.
"You have such a good relationship with your sister, so has she told you before why she betrayed our Xia family?" Xia Han asked this question as if he had made a lot of determination.
"She didn't." Lu Zhiyao shook his head calmly and looked at Xia Han's sad expression with a smile. "If she really betrayed you, I wouldn't do so many things for her. Xia Han
Han, there are some things that you hear with your ears, which may not necessarily be true. Even if you see them with your eyes, they may not be true. She is your sister. Should you trust her? You have to ask yourself, not me. What I can tell you
However, Xia Yao is already dead. She died along with your parents on the night she married Lin Yixiang. So whether you hate her or miss her, you will never see her again. This is a fact.
You have to accept it."
Lu Zhiyao's delicate and gentle voice reached Xia Han's ears word by word. For some reason, when she heard the last two sentences said by Lu Zhiyao, she suddenly had the urge to cry.
Tears were already welling up in her eyes, and she was forced back. After such a long time, whenever Xia Han thought about what happened in Xuncheng that night, she still felt like she was having a nightmare. She thought it was just a dream.
As soon as she wakes up, everything will return to how it was before. But it seems that she was really too naive.
"Zhiyuan, it's time to go."
Lin Yinan's voice came from outside the door. Lu Zhiyao turned his eyes away, frowned and stood up. Pressing down Xia Han who was about to get up to see her off, Lu Zhiyao whispered, "Don't go out in the house." Then he strode alone.
He walked out of the room, looked at the person at the door, and silently asked him what was going on.
They had only been here not long ago, and if there were no other reasons, Lin Yinan would not have asked her to leave so quickly.
"Yin Jianli."
Lin Yinan spit out three words. After hearing the name, Lu Zhiyao gritted his teeth angrily and said, "What a ghost!"
"Let's go, it won't be good if we let him follow the clues and find this place." Lin Yinan took the lead and walked out of the yard. Lu Zhiyao followed him and found that Ling Yi had disappeared. Lu Zhiyao was worried whether Lin Mubai would
will be found here.
Although the Xia family's affairs were not easy to interfere with, Lu Zhiyao thought that it would be better not to talk to him face to face whenever he thought of Lin Mubai's cold face.
After returning to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao rested for an hour, then went out again and went straight to the Chu Mansion. He found Chu Ziqian and saw Chu Ziqian looking at him with a wary expression. He was very proud of himself.
There was a possibility that he would be eaten at any time. Lu Zhiyao said coldly: "I will leave the capital tomorrow. Don't forget the things I asked you. Also, if a girl comes to you for help during this period, don't refuse.
"
"Bah!" Chu Ziqian, regardless of his image as a gentleman, replied angrily: "What are you doing out of the capital? Go sightseeing with your eighth prince and leave me here to clean up your mess? You
Do you think I am not busy enough at ordinary times? Do you know how much business our Chu family has for me to take care of? I am a rich man, so be careful what you say to me, or I will bury it for you with money!
Return the girl..."
Chu Ziqian suddenly paused, then put on a flattering smile and asked: "Is that girl pretty?"
"If you dare to take advantage of her, I won't let you go."
The serious expression on Lu Zhiyao's face didn't look like he was joking, and Chu Ziqian could clearly see the murderous look in his eyes. Chu Ziqian and Lu Zhiyao looked at each other for a while, and sighed helplessly, "I didn't fight.
I don’t think you’ll spare me her idea. I really didn’t accumulate any virtue in my previous life, and now I’ve met such a troubled ancestor like you. Tell me, how long will you be gone?”
"You haven't accumulated any virtue in this life, so you're not afraid of meeting me again in the next life?" Lu Zhiyao joked with him with a chuckle, and then answered his question. "I don't know how long I will be away, it's just a month, is it necessary?"
Yes. If you are not willing to do it, I can give you money. Don’t you businessmen just like that complete deal?"
"What do I want money for? I want women, do you know women?!" When Chu Ziqian heard that Lu Zhiyao wanted to give him money, he immediately lost his temper. He stood up and looked at Lu Zhiyao condescendingly. "Like you.
woman!"
As Chu Ziqian spoke, he raised his hands together to outline the image of a woman's plump breasts and slender waist in the air. "You find me such a woman, and we will be settled. How about that? What if you can give me more?"
If you find a few, then I will accept them as cows and horses!"
"A dog can't change its habit of eating shit." Lu Zhiyao said with a cold face, looking at Chu Ziqian's increasingly excited face, he also slapped the table and stood up. "Since you don't want money and you are so rich, then you will pay for the tea.
Come on, let me take the first step."
Lu Zhiyao stopped talking to Chu Ziqian, walked out of the room without looking back, and went straight downstairs without even looking at him. One mistake caused eternal hatred, and these words were spinning in Chu Ziqian's mind over and over again.
It kept going, almost drowning him. Chu Ziqian sat feebly on the chair for a long time, then slowly stood up, walked downstairs with a sigh step by step, paid for the tea and returned home.
