Quickly Transmigrate to Save the Child of Heaven

Chapter 250: Splendid Peace and Lu Jiaxue 5

After the Seven Feast, Lu Jiaxue often sent people to the Luo Mansion to deliver gifts. Sometimes he even came in person to invite Luo Yiyu out for a walk, but Luo Yiyu always refused. On this day, Luo's mother, as usual, asked Luo's father to help her reject Lu Jiaxue. After Luo's father left, Luo's mother asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Yiyu, why do you always avoid Lord Lu? If you can become a wife of the Lu family, you will have someone to rely on for the rest of your life!"

However, Luo Yiyu interrupted her directly: "Mother, do you think that with our Luo family's status, I can really marry Marquis Lu? You only see that marrying him will help my father and brother's careers, but have you ever considered that if I can't win his heart, then all my efforts will be in vain, and you will lose a daughter. So, please believe me, I have my own sense of proportion, you don't have to worry."

Luo's mother glanced at Luo Yining with reluctance, but she could only grit her teeth and say, "Alright!" Then she turned and left. Seeing Luo's mother leave, Luo Yiyu returned with some pastries to find Yining. A few days later, Yiyu learned that Duke Ying was about to return, and she secretly resolved to resolve the issue of Yining's pastry. After all, Yining was now living in the Luo residence, and if this matter wasn't addressed sooner or later, the truth would likely be discovered.

When Yi Ning saw Yi Yu coming, she quickly asked, "Big sister, why are you here?"

Yi Yu smiled as she had the cakes placed on the table. She said softly, "This is a new Jiangnan cake from my small kitchen. I brought it here especially for you to try."

Luo Yining happily picked up a piece of cake and took a bite. As expected, the cake was soft, fragrant, and refreshing, and tasted excellent. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's really delicious..."

Yi Yu smiled and said, "The Qiqiao Festival is just a few days away, and there's a lantern festival this year. Let's go see the lanterns together!"

Luo Yining smiled and nodded, "Okay..." They chatted for a while longer, and Yining suddenly remembered that she had specially cooked a lot of delicious dishes in the small kitchen tonight to celebrate her third brother's top score in the exam. She figured since there weren't many people around, why not ask her elder sister to join in the fun? Luo Yiyu immediately promised to come over that evening, then left with her maid.

As night fell, Luo Yiyu arrived as promised, accompanied by Yixiu and Lin Mao. Luo Yiyu smiled and handed the gift to Luo Shenyuan, saying, "Third brother, congratulations on getting the top spot on the exam! I hope you'll be able to get three top spots in a row and bring honor to our Luo family. When you pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, I'll give you another great gift..."

Luo Shenyuan respectfully accepted the gift box and opened it. Inside was a priceless inkstone. He quickly thanked her, "Thank you, big sister! I will work hard and strive to live up to your expectations."

Afterwards, everyone took their seats and toasted to Luo Shenyuan. The banquet lasted until midnight, and Luo Yiyu finally returned to her room. A few days later, on the day of the Qiqiao Festival Lantern Festival, the women of the Luo family invited everyone to watch the lantern festival. As soon as Luo Yiyu and Luo Yining left the house, Lu Jiaxue stopped them and asked, "Yiyu, are you going to the lantern festival too?"

Seeing this, Luo Shenyuan was about to step forward to stop Lu Jiaxue, but Luo Yiyu suddenly said, "Third brother, take Seventh Sister and go first. I'll wait for you at Tianxiang Tower later!" Hearing this, Luo Shenyuan had no choice but to take Luo Yining and leave first.

Looking at the backs of the two of them as they left, Lu Jiaxue couldn't help but feel happy, and hurriedly said to Luo Yiyu with a smile: "Meimei, let's go to the lantern festival!" As he said that, he couldn't wait to step forward and prepare to hold Luo Yiyu's hand, but Luo Yiyu dodged him swiftly.

Luo Yiyu looked at Lu Jiaxue calmly, and said in a soft but firm voice: "Lord Lu, Yiyu is not the Meimei you are looking for. I don't know what happened between you and the woman named Meimei, but I can tell you clearly that my name is Luo Yiyu! If it was Yiyu you invited to watch the lantern festival today instead of Meimei, then Yiyu would naturally be happy to go with you. On the contrary, if that is not the case, please excuse me first..." After that, he turned and left, walking towards Tianxiang Tower.

By the time Lu Jiaxue realized what was happening, Luo Yiyu had already walked away. He hurried to catch up, but Luo Yiyu had already entered Tianxiang Tower.

On the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, Luo Shenyuan and Luo Yining were anxiously waiting. Seeing Luo Yiyu appear at the stairs, Luo Yining hurried over and asked with concern, "Big sister, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Luo Yiyu smiled and patted her hand, comforting her, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Everyone, please sit down."

After a moment of silence, Luo Shenyuan finally couldn't help but speak: "Sister, Lu Jiaxue is really not a good person."

Luo Yiyu took the tea from Luo Yining, took a sip, then put the cup down, looked up at Luo Shenyuan, and said calmly, "I know Lu Jiaxue is not a good person, but what I did does not conflict with you. If my plan succeeds, then what you want to do will become easier."

Luo Shenyuan frowned and said anxiously, "Sister, I don't want you to deliberately contact Lu Jiaxue for us. He is definitely not a good person, and I'm worried that you will get hurt."

Luo Yiyu smiled and said softly, "Third brother, what are you thinking about? I won't sacrifice myself for anyone... I'm attracted to his power, but I also admire him as a person. Everyone has their own unique preferences, and there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, now that I've set my sights on my target, I'll naturally find a way to keep him firmly in my grasp. Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore today while we're out visiting the Lantern Festival. When we go guess the lantern riddles later, you can come with Seventh Sister, and I'll just take a few maids..."

After hearing this, Luo Yining said with some concern: "Big sister!"

Luo Yiyu smiled and comforted her, "Seventh sister, I'm not the delicate eldest daughter of the Luo family who needs protection. Don't worry! Go and play with your third brother!" After that, he urged them to leave, and then he sat in a seat with several maids, quietly looking at the brilliant scene downstairs.

Lu Jiaxue slowly walked into the private room and asked softly, "Why is Yiyu staying here alone?" Luo Yiyu turned around after hearing the voice and replied with a smile, "What is Lord Lu going to do?"

Lu Jiaxue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a gentle smile, and said softly: "I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Miss Luo Yiyu to enjoy the lantern festival and guess the lantern riddles together?"

Luo Yiyu's eyes sparkled with joy, and she agreed without hesitation, "Okay!" Then, she and Lu Jiaxue sent away the servants around them, and the two walked side by side towards the bustling street.

The streets were lined with stalls of all kinds, with vendors loudly hawking their wares. Luo Yiyu enthusiastically stopped at each stall, carefully selecting handkerchiefs and other items. Lu Jiaxue silently bought whatever she caught sight of and took it in her hands.

They came to a stall selling lanterns, but the owner told them they weren't selling them. Instead, they needed to guess a riddle before they could take them home. Luo Yiyu curiously looked at a small fox lantern hanging on a shelf. On it was a riddle: "High platform reflects the moon clearly." She pondered for a moment, but couldn't come up with a solution.

Seeing her confused expression, Lu Jiaxue smiled slightly and whispered, "The 'Tan' in Epiphyllum!"

The stall owner smiled and said congratulations, then handed the exquisite and adorable little fox lantern to Lu Jiaxue. After Lu Jiaxue took the lantern, he handed it to Yi Yu. Yi Yu held the lantern carefully, a bright smile on her face, and said happily, "Thank you..." Then, the two continued to stroll through the lantern festival until it ended, and Lu Jiaxue escorted Yi Yu back to the gate of the Luo Mansion. When Yi Yu was about to turn around and enter the mansion, Lu Jiaxue suddenly asked, "I wonder if I can invite Yi Yu to play chess with me tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Yi Yu was slightly stunned, but quickly came to her senses, smiled sweetly, and replied: "My chess skills are not very good, but if the weather is good tomorrow, we can go boating together!" After hearing this, Lu Jiaxue couldn't help but feel happy, and quickly responded: "That's great, I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning..." After that, he and Yi Yu looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of anticipation and joy.
