After all, not only was she drunk, she also boldly flirted with the Jinyiwei commander, a second-rank official of the dynasty.

Of course, the most important thing was that he was afraid that Lu Jinan would feel that he had lost face that night and would get furious and seek revenge on him.

When Lord Lu, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, got angry, there were almost a million corpses.

What's more, she was just a little girl. It would be as easy for Lu Jinan to kill her as it would be to kill an ant. She had to take him into consideration.

I guess in the whole Yongjing City, there is probably no other woman as extraordinary as her, right?

Lu Jin didn't expect that she would admit what happened that day so bluntly, and immediately looked at her in confusion.

That day in the carriage, after seeing the little girl do that to him, when she saw him again, she acted as if nothing had happened. She was quite different from those noble ladies he had met in the capital, so he just wanted to tease her on a whim.

It had been twenty years, and that was the first time he had the idea of ​​teasing a woman.

Later, seeing that she was evasive and didn't dare to admit it, and thinking that she was after all a young girl who had not yet reached marriage age, he gave up the idea of ​​teasing her.

"No need, Miss Jiang, please stand up." Although he was puzzled, he still asked her to stand up first.

Jiang Luo also saw the confusion in his eyes. She stood up and sat back on the stool, then explained frankly, "I didn't answer when Lord Lu mentioned this matter in the carriage that day because Sister Qing'er was there, and I didn't want her to misunderstand."

When Lu Jinan heard this, his heart sank. He clenched his right bony hand, which was resting on the chair, before releasing it.

As expected, she still cared a lot about the engagement with Ningyang Marquis's Mansion.

Perhaps, she also liked Ling Xun, after all, he was her fiancé since childhood...

"I treat Qing'er as my sister, and I respect Madam Xie very much. So, I don't want them to look down on me, nor do I want them to misunderstand you. After all, I am already engaged." Jiang Luo said as he looked at Lu Jinan inquiringly.

Lu Jinan felt relieved.

If what he thought just now was just a guess, then what Jiang Luo said at this time confirmed his guess.

She takes this marriage very seriously.

Yes, the Ningyang Marquisate was in its heyday. For a girl without her mother's protection, it was indeed good to have such a marriage.

The position of the wife of the prince of Ningyang Marquis's mansion was not something that anyone could take. There were many noble families eyeing this position.

She really needed this marriage to protect herself.

Thinking of this, his heart tightened.

It seems that there is no need to ask what he wants to ask...

Seeing that Lu Jinan didn't react, Jiang Luo continued, "Also, although I don't want this marriage, but... but I haven't thought of a reasonable way to cancel it yet. Before canceling the engagement, I don't want anyone to use this matter against me, or even ruin your reputation, Lord Lu. I'm not exaggerating. There are many people in and outside this mansion who want to ruin my reputation..."

Lu Jin didn't understand.

Do not care?

break off an engagement?

So, he was wrong?

The girl didn't care about this marriage, nor did she like Ling Xun, and she tried every means to cancel the marriage...

Lu Jinan was stunned for a moment by this sudden change.

After a moment, he turned his head to look at the little girl beside him, ripples began to appear in his heart, and the candlelight was reflected in his deep eyes, like the bright stars in the dark night.

So, he still has a chance, right?

The little girl at the side looked at him solemnly, her cherry lips slightly parted, opening and closing as she kept saying something, but he didn't hear a word clearly.

He just followed his heart and asked, "Do you want to cancel the engagement?"

Jiang Luo was a little confused by his sudden interruption and such an irrelevant question.

She opened her beautiful eyes, frowned slightly, and obviously didn't understand. She nodded belatedly, "Yes, Ningyang Marquis's Mansion doesn't like me, and I don't care about the Marquis' Mansion. I will definitely withdraw from this marriage."

Not only did she not care about the Ningyang Marquis' Mansion, she even wanted to massacre the entire family.

Jiang Luo looked at Lu Jinan in front of him and thought it would be good to talk about this matter. In a few years, this man in front of him would defeat Ling Ge Lao and become the regent of Dayong with real power and in name only.

She seized the opportunity and clung to the future regent to let Lu Jinan know that she was not on the same side as Lord Ling and Jiang Zhou.

Who knows, in the future, she might be able to get some benefits for herself!

Seeing her so confident, Lu Jinan's mood improved a lot. The corners of his slightly curved mouth couldn't help but rise. He had to withdraw his gaze and turn his head away, leaving only half of Jiang Luo's profile.

After a breath, he said, "Okay." His voice was full of tenderness and support.

Jiang Luo was even more confused!

Her brows furrowed even tighter, and a big "Chuan" character even appeared between her eyebrows.

it is good?

What good?

She wanted to break off the engagement, and he said yes?

So what does he mean?

How come he answered like her father, not only agreeing with her idea of ​​breaking off the engagement, but also vaguely supporting it?

So, what does her breaking off the engagement have to do with Lu Jinan?

Seeing Jiang Luo staring at him without a mistake, Lu Jinan regretted his impulsiveness. He clenched his fist and coughed twice, then changed the subject and asked, "You asked me to come here today because of something urgent?"

When Jiang Luo heard him bring up this matter, he immediately stopped complaining in his heart and decided to focus on the business first.

"To be honest with you, Lord Lu, there is indeed something going on."

Lu Jinan looked at her again and said seriously, "You say."

"Sir Lu, do you know who in the Jinyiwei is the boss of the Changlai gambling house on Yongsheng Street?" Jiang Luo asked solemnly.

Since she knew that the Jinyiwei were behind her, the fastest way for her to deal with it was to start with Lu Jinan.

"Why are you asking this?" Lu Jinan was a little surprised.

Jiang Luo explained the whole process and said, "I am a vindictive person. He has been taking advantage of the shop for so many years. If he just took the money and left, it would be fine. But now he is threatening me. If I don't get rid of him, how can I face my mother?"

When the little girl talked about this bad thing, her cheeks puffed up with anger, like steamed buns made of fermented white flour, and a bit like the little white rabbit she met when she went hunting in the mountains with her father when she was a child.

In the yellowish candlelight, she looked even cuter than usual.

Lu Jinan's heart was itching, and his hands were itching...

He really wanted to reach out and poke it to see if it was as soft as the white flour buns...

Fortunately, he had been calm and restrained enough in the past twenty years and had never been obsessed with women. At this time, his mind was still clear and he did not extend his hand.

How could Lu Jinan, who often comes to the gambling house, not know?

That was a base where he collected information from all sides, but he didn't know whether he should tell the little girl in front of him.

He was afraid of scaring the little girl.

He was also afraid that she would believe the rumors about him and regard him as a scourge in the future.

Ha... When did Lu Jinan become so timid and hesitant when doing things!

Hey……

He sighed in his heart, and finally did not explain it so clearly, only saying: "I already know. You should follow your plan here and do what you should do. You don't have to worry about the gambling house, leave it to me. As for how to cooperate with you, just tell me."

Jiang Luo didn't expect him to agree without saying anything. She had so much to say, but it seemed like she had nowhere to say it.
