The prince is very cruel

Upon hearing this, Shengqi and Yu Dilong behind him were shocked. Was it Lou Xinyue who stabbed the prince with that sword?

Then the two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. With the prince's character of revenge and decisiveness, how could he be with Lou Xinyue?

"As long as you can help me rescue those people, I'm willing to let you stab me with a sword." Lou Xinyue was calm, without even blinking her long eyelashes.

"Really? Let me stab you once?" Guan Ning raised his eyebrows.

Lou Xinyue frowned, not understanding the ambiguity, otherwise she would have drawn her sword and punched Guan Ning in the face again.

"How can a man be so fussy? Do you want it or not?"

Guan Ning curled his lips: "Yes, of course!"

"Don't want it for nothing."

"Remember your promise, let me stab you with the sword!" He smiled slyly.

Lou Xinyue felt something was wrong, but couldn't put it into words. Then she walked without looking around, without saying a word, like an ice cube.

But Guan Ning was a chatterbox: "By the way, what is your relationship with Chang Shoufang? Why did you go to such great lengths to save him?"

"That's none of your business."

"I'm helping you anyway, so I have the right to know, right?"

"I do not want to say."

"Then let me guess, you are his illegitimate daughter?"

Lou Xinyue's smooth forehead was covered with dark lines, and her cold and beautiful almond-shaped eyes revealed the urge to kill someone: "Do you believe it or not, I can destroy you with one sword?"

Guan Ning felt a sudden chill in his legs and took a half step back.

Jianjian said: "How come you don't have any femininity? You always kill and cripple people. This is not acceptable."

"It's none of your business!" Lou Xinyue gritted her teeth. Even an ice goddess like her was pulled down from the altar of detachment from worldly affairs by Guan Ning's incessant chattering.

"Tsk, are you angry?"

"Can you please shut up!" Lou Xinyue spoke coldly, suppressing her anger. She was almost going crazy. After rescuing the people, she would leave immediately and didn't want to see Guan Ning at all.

"..."

Soon after, they arrived at the Lu Mansion.

Rather than calling it the Lu Mansion, it would be better to say that it was a house that was once glorious. The Lu family, who were once the Minister of Justice, were in the limelight. But now, time has passed, the glory has faded, and what remains is only desolation and indifference.

"Tsk, it has always been like this. When it's prosperous, the house is crowded with people. When it's declining, even dogs will come to step on it." Guan Ning couldn't help but sigh. He understood it best. The Guan family was even worse off than the Lu family.

At least the Lu family was able to be saved, but the extermination of the Guan family remains an unsolved case to this day, and the court has no intention of intervening.

Lou Xinyue said coldly, "These dog officials live by sucking the blood of the people. People like Lord Chang are rare. Even though the Lu family is now in decline, they still live in such a big place. Compared to the common people, I don't know how much better off they are. What's there to be pitiful about?"

Her tone showed great resistance to the imperial court, which was also a microcosm of the confrontation between the imperial court and the underworld. Almost all the heroes sneered at the imperial court.

"What you said makes sense."

"But don't say anything for a while, just watch me." Guan Ning was worried that she would be impulsive and ruin the important matter. After all, Lu Guangyi was directly involved in the case of Chang Shoufang back then, and he was even the one who arrested the person.

Although Lou Xinyue was a little uncomfortable, not used to acting with others, and even more uncomfortable listening to a man, she didn't say anything in the end and acquiesced.

bang bang bang...

After several knocks on the door, the sound of footsteps could be heard in the house.

"I'm coming."

"Who is it?" A white-haired old man opened the door and looked at Guan Ning and the other three blankly.

Guan Ning grinned and suddenly said, "Old man, don't you recognize me?"

When these words were spoken, the three people including Lou Xinyue were all stunned. They knew each other?

"Who are you?" The old man was confused and couldn't tell the truth for a moment.

"Five years ago, I passed through the capital and came to visit Mr. Lu on the orders of my family. It was you who opened the door for me then. Now the old man has white hair all over his body. Time really takes its toll." Guan Ning sighed.

Hearing this, the old man immediately became serious. Even though he didn't know Guan Ning, he still opened the door: "So it's you, sir. I'm honored to meet you!"
