Chapter 274 A lonely man and a widow
You, Wu, are really thinking of having an affair and doing something that betrays yourself!
It's one thing for him not to want her to be free, but once she's free, she absolutely cannot go behind his back to find other men.
That day at Jade Butterfly Garden, Wu Weiwei pointed at a servant and said that the man was her male concubine. Lu Hanting thought she was just trying to make him angry, but he didn't expect that she would actually let that servant move in.
A man and a woman alone, living together in the same room.
At this moment, Lu Hanting felt his right eyelid twitching violently.
Could it be that Ms. Wu has really cheated on herself?
His gaze toward Liu Yun was as sharp as an ice blade, as if he were the servant boy named Qing Zhu.
Seeing the prince glaring at him with a ferocious look that seemed to want to tear him to pieces, Liu Yun couldn't help but take a few steps back, fearing that the prince might use him as a sacrifice if he was displeased.
Like the wind, you really know how to escape; you actually abandoned him and ran off to the northern frontier.
Lu Hanting quickly picked up the cloak beside him, and by the time Liu Yun came to her senses, the young master's figure had already flashed out of the study.
"Your Highness, where are you going?"
However, the only response to Liu Yun was the sound of the wind.
Mei Lane.
Inside the house, just as Wu Weiwei and Qingzhu were about to spar, they heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from outside.
Then, Wanqiu knocked on the door urgently.
"It's terrible, young lady! The young master has surrounded our house with his men!"
Qingzhu looked at Wu Weiwei with a look of astonishment.
Wu Weiwei looked at the green bamboo with a heavy heart.
When things were ruined at a crucial moment, Wu Weiwei's face was incredibly sour.
Qingzhu got off the bed and tidied her disheveled clothes.
"Weiwei, you wait here, I'll handle this!"
Seeing that Qingzhu was about to step out, Wu Weiwei thoughtfully reminded him, "Remember not to get into a conflict with him."
Given the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, they should not confront them head-on.
Inside the waiting room.
Lu Hanting sat in the seat of honor, and Lingfu served him tea.
However, she was secretly cursing in her heart.
The young master had clearly let her master go, but he must have nothing better to do than come here in the middle of the night.
Does he have super hearing and know that the girl and Qingzhu are doing something?
It's so weird.
The two had finally managed to overcome their differences and get together, but unexpectedly, this clueless prince ruined it all.
What bad luck.
Looking at Lingfu's expression, it was as if she was being treated very unwelcomely.
Lu Hanting glared at her with sharp eyes and saw Ling Fu lower her head in fright.
"Where is Wu? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"
Lu Hanting had no idea that he had interrupted Wu Weiwei's good time.
But he knew that if he didn't come, things would probably get much worse.
"Your Highness, my young lady has already gone to sleep..."
Lingfu said unwillingly.
"So what if she's asleep? Wake her up quickly and tell her that I, the young master, have arrived. Tell her to get up and greet me!"
Hmph, what a show of power! She even wrote a letter of release for her master, who does he think he is?
"Your Highness, Wanqiu has already gone to call her, but I don't know if the young lady will be able to get up..."
With a loud thud, Lu Hanting slammed the cup down in his hand.
"Lingfu, you've only been away from the Marquis's residence for a few days, but you've become increasingly bold!"
Lu Hanting could no longer contain his anger and questioned him in a chilling tone.
"This servant is merely..."
Just telling the truth!
Seeing the prince get angry, Lingfu felt aggrieved, but dared not say anything more.
If she really angered this living devil in front of her, she might not be able to save her own life.
After a while, footsteps were heard outside, and then the curtain was lifted from the outside.
Qingzhu's handsome figure walked in.
Lu Hanting looked towards the door and saw that the person who came was actually Qingzhu.
A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
"How could it be you? Where is the Wu family?"
He came all this way, but Wu Weiwei dared not come to see him.
As Qingzhu approached, he gave Lingfu a wink, and Lingfu breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew.
"Your Highness, Weiwei needs to get her beauty sleep and doesn't have time to receive you!"
A soft, languid voice rang out, Qingzhu's tone unhurried, as if she didn't take the person in front of her seriously at all.
No one is happy when their good time is ruined in the middle of the night.
He was just one step away from becoming Weiwei's, but that was ruined by the person he hated in front of him.
His presence here is out of respect for Weiwei.
"Hmph, you actually called her Weiwei? Who do you think you are, daring to address her by her name!"
Lu Hanting felt a surge of jealousy. He touched the hilt of his sword, his eyes sharp.
Seeing his imposing manner, Qingzhu remained completely calm.
"Your Highness, Weiwei acknowledged my identity at Jade Butterfly Garden that day. If your hearing is not impaired, you must have heard it!"
If he doesn't understand, he doesn't mind repeating it again.
"Heh! A male concubine who can't even be presented in public, what, you've already degraded yourself like this?"
Or are you inherently lowly?
Lu Hanting wasn't in a hurry to see Wu Weiwei now. She was just a servant; how dare she compete with him for a woman? It was a huge joke.
Hearing this, Qingzhu did not seem annoyed.
Regardless of his identity, as long as Weiwei acknowledges him, that's enough.
Seeing that Qingzhu wasn't angered by his words, Lu Hanting glanced at him.
Lu Hanting couldn't read Qingzhu's thoughts from her calm gaze.
At this moment, Lingfu brought up the tea.
Seeing the two men locked in a tense standoff, she feared the place would turn into a battlefield.
"Your Highness, have some tea!"
Only when Lingfu's voice rang out did Lu Hanting turn his gaze away, but he gave Qingzhu a cold snort.
Qingzhu, however, always wore a smile, neither ashamed nor annoyed.
Lu Hanting kept drinking tea, one cup after another, until he had a bellyful of tea but Wu Weiwei still hadn't come out.
"Lingfu, go and call your master out!"
He didn't believe that Wu didn't know he was coming; she must have been deliberately avoiding him.
"Your Highness, our mistress is really asleep..."
Lingfu turned her gaze to Qingzhu.
"Why are you looking at him? Can he represent your master's opinion?"
Lingfu was speechless, unsure how to respond.
“Your Highness, as I just said, Weiwei is sleepy and has gone to bed. If you insist on waking her up, then let's have a contest in the courtyard. If you can beat me, then we can talk about this matter…”
Qingzhu said calmly.
Lu Hanting reached for his sword sheath with his right hand, but just as he was about to draw his sword, he saw Liu Yun rushing over.
"Young Master, there is an urgent matter at the manor. The Lady of the Marquis requests your immediate return..."
Lu Hanting looked at Qingzhu, his face full of resentment, and said, "Let's go!"
Lingfu only felt relieved after watching the prince leave.
Meanwhile, Wu Weiwei, who was waiting for Qingzhu to return to the house in the backyard, fell asleep after waiting for a long time without seeing him.
The next morning, Wu Weiwei was overjoyed to learn that Lu Hanting had been drinking tea at her place all night.
"Lingfu, did Qingzhu also stay up late drinking tea with him?"
"Indeed, it's really tough on our Manager Qing..."
Of course, it also caused hardship for her master.
The girl waited for a long time, but the meat that was about to be in her mouth flew away. How could Lingfu not be anxious!
Seeing Lingfu's expression, Wu Weiwei naturally understood what she meant.
However, it is indeed true that if Lu Hanting hadn't come to cause trouble last night, Qingzhu, this tender little bamboo, would probably have been eaten by her.
Wanqiu was dressing up Wu Weiwei, but Wu Weiwei was thinking about Lu Hanting, this clingy guy, and how he might cause problems if she didn't deal with him properly.
Just then, someone ran in from outside.
"Girl, it's done! Lin Li has made it into the finals!"
