The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

While Lu Lingxi was distracted, Liu Lu was still telling the story of Lu Lingxi sneaking out of the house.

"It is said that after leaving the house that day, the young lady headed south without turning, as if she would not turn back until she hit a wall. This is in line with her usual personality. I don't know how long she walked before she arrived at the refugee camp in the south. The place was dirty and messy. Generally, people with a family like the young lady would not set foot in such a place. The beggars and refugees on the roadside saw the young lady's dress and couldn't help but look her up and down. There must be some people among them who had evil thoughts and muttered some unbearable words. Were you scared at that time, young lady?"

Liu Lu suddenly asked this question while talking. Lu Lingxi was a little confused for a moment, and pointed his right index finger at his nose, "Ah! This..., you ask me? I don't remember. I'm probably a little scared."

"Oh, sorry, young lady. I was so curious that I forgot that you had lost your memory. The servant girl continued to tell the rest of the story. When a group of beggars were grumbling, Master Yu Gang, who was about 9 years old at the time, suddenly shouted to the young lady: 'Where did you come from, young lady? Why don't you go back to your nest?' Then he took the young lady's hand and walked out of the refugee camp. After sending the young lady out of the refugee camp, he lowered his voice and said: 'Go back to your own home. This is not a place for a young lady like you.' But at this time, the young lady's stomach suddenly growled. Maybe she was hungry because she had been walking for too long."

"So you, young lady, reached out and pulled on the corner of Master Yu Gang's clothes, tears streaming down your face, and said, 'Big brother, I'm hungry and want to eat. Can you give me something to eat?' It is said that Master Yu Gang was extremely shocked at the time. He couldn't believe that a young lady like you, who was dressed in rags and dirt, would actually call him brother and pull on his clothes without a care. Seeing that you were about to cry, he had no choice but to quietly pull you to a corner and take out the white flour buns he had hidden for tomorrow's rations for you to eat."

"Who would have thought that as soon as the young lady took a bite, a group of people came over and shouted that Master Yu Gang ate all the good white flour buns by himself and didn't share them. Many people were starving to death, but he still had surplus food. Master Yu Gang defended himself, saying, 'I have surplus food because I begged for it with my own hard work. You just lie here all day, so of course you have nothing.'"

"A lame man came out with a stick and cursed, 'You little bastard, how dare you quibble? You are still in this refugee camp, how can you be more noble than us? I think you have bad intentions when you take the initiative to show your affection to this young lady. Either you want to trick the young lady into taking you home, or you want to trick this tender young girl into selling her to make a fortune, right?' Then he hit Master Yu Gang with the stick in his hand."

"The other beggars followed suit, saying, 'We should share the food here and make money together. Let's kill this little bastard and sell the girl. We can share the money.' The young lady was scared and kept crying, 'Stop! Stop! Don't hit big brother! I won't eat this bun anymore. I'll give it to you. Don't hit him. Woo woo woo~~~Daddy~Daddy~Come quickly!'"

"It happened so fast. The young lady had just called out 'Daddy' when the old man really appeared, like a god descending from the sky. Together with the secret guards, he dispersed the beggars who were making trouble. He picked up the young lady and glared at everyone: 'Today, I will see who dares to have ideas about my daughter. Do you want to kill yourself?' The old man must have been extremely tall, heroic, and brave..."

Liu Lu was about to add more adjectives, but Lu Lingxi couldn't help interrupting her: "That's enough. Daddy is not here now. Why are you flattering him? I know Daddy is very powerful. Let's get down to business."

Chunhong couldn't help laughing beside her. Liulv was really being unruly.

Liu Lu scratched her head embarrassedly, "I really respect the master, I just couldn't help but speak out my feelings."

"Then the secret guards took a look and found that Master Yugang was a bit seriously injured, but his life was not in danger, so they wanted to give Master Yugang some money to thank him for protecting the young lady. But you, my lady, saw that Master Yugang was so injured that he had difficulty standing up, and you insisted on asking Master Yugang to be your brother, saying that you wanted someone to accompany you, you wanted a brother. The master had no choice but to take Master Yugang back home. The master's name was also given by the master. There were no proper names in the refugee camp before, and everyone called him "little bastard, little bastard". When Master Yugang was recovering from his injuries, the young lady stayed with him every day, often grinning and saying, "I have a brother too." When Master Yugang recovered and could walk, the young lady followed him every day after getting up, calling him "Brother Yugang, Brother Yugang."

After listening to this, Lu Lingxi nodded gently: "It sounds like my relationship with my sworn brother is indeed very good, but it doesn't feel like I saved him. It was Daddy who saved him. The person he should be grateful to is Daddy."

Chunhong said at the right time: "Master Yugang is naturally grateful to the old master, but if he didn't value you, the old master wouldn't have saved him. Although the young master is young, he still sees things clearly, probably because he is used to suffering. So he also regards you as his savior, and has always responded to your requests."

"Oh, that makes sense." Lu Lingxi, who came from another time, felt a little guilty that he had done nothing but had to bear the life-saving grace of others for nothing.

"Just now I said that this mansion looks big, but the structure is quite simple. There's nothing mysterious about it. Are we not allowed to go in?" As he said this, his eyes lit up, as if to say, "Even if I'm not allowed to go, I'm going anyway."

Seeing her young lady like this, Chunhong could guess what she was thinking and laughed, "Young lady, you are joking. In this mansion, anything that belongs to the master is also Young lady's. There is no need to avoid Young lady and not allow you to go."

"Oh." Lu Lingxi lay on the table in disappointment.

"I know a place that you are not allowed to go to, Miss." Liu Lu suddenly said mysteriously.

"Where?" Lu Lingxi suddenly became excited.

"It's the study room next to the master's main courtyard. Every time the young lady goes in, she either threatens to leave the house or flips through the master's official documents into a mess, unable to tell which ones she has read and which ones she hasn't. The master said that you are not allowed to mess around anymore."

"You are so good, Liu Lu, you dare to make fun of me in front of me. I will teach you a lesson." As she said this, she was about to get up and tickle Liu Lu's armpits. Liu Lu got up and dodged. Chun Hong got up and followed her: "Miss, please go slowly, don't fall again."

The three of them ran and chased each other, laughing and joking. Liu Lu ran in front, intending to take Lu Lingxi and Chunhong back to Lingxi Garden.

When she ran to the corridor, she bumped into Lu Yi and the counselor, Lord Su. Seeing his daughter so happy, Lu Yi was in a good mood and laughed too, but suddenly realized that Lord Su was a very serious guy who followed the rules. Lord Su must have been disgusted by his daughter's lack of ladylike manners when he saw her playing like this.

So Lu Yi pretended to be serious and said loudly: "What are you making a fuss about? You are not calm at all. Come over and meet the counselor, Lord Su."

The three of them were all startled, and immediately quieted down, coming over to salute Lu Yi and Lord Su, but they didn't know what else to do after the salute, and felt very awkward. Lu Yi also saw the girls' restraint, so he said, "There's nothing for you to do here, go back to your room and read a book or do some housework."

The three of them felt as if they had been pardoned and ran away again. Seeing this, Lu Yi shook his head helplessly: "Sorry to make you laugh, Lord Su. I am usually very gentle and steady. Maybe something happened that made me very happy today, so I acted so rudely. I hope Lord Su will forgive me."

Lord Su said quickly, "It's okay, it's okay. Your daughter is still young, and it's a good thing for her to be a little more lively."

Lord Su said this, but in his heart he still felt that Lu Lingxi was more vulgar than the average young lady from aristocratic family, so he turned around and told his wife what was in his heart. Mrs. Su was not someone who could keep her mouth shut, and then the whole circle of noble ladies and young ladies knew that Lu Lingxi usually spoke and behaved vulgarly at home, regardless of status, and played with servants.
