The prince is very cruel

"I'm here to visit Mr. Lu again. Could you please let me know?"

The old man nodded and said, "Sir, of course it's no problem. Please come in first, I will go and inform you immediately."

"Okay, thank you." Guan Ning smiled.

"Have you been here?" Lou Xinyue couldn't help but ask.

"No." Guan Ning blurted out.

"Then why..."

"Hehe." Guan Ning showed his big white teeth, grinning harmlessly, "A former Minister of Justice, I must have received at least 8,000 visitors, if not 10,000? I said I did, who can remember?"

"Don't hit a smiling person. Look, he got in, didn't he?"

Lou Xinyue's eyes widened in astonishment. She was stunned by this operation. Is this possible?

Guan Ning moved closer and could clearly smell a unique fragrance coming from her hair, which was fragrant but not vulgar, and as ethereal as a fairy.

"And I doubt that Lu Guangyi had a stroke."

"No stroke?" Lou Xinyue was shocked, her eyes wide open, and she leaned very close to Guan Ning.

"Hush!" Guan Ning nodded, signaling to lower his voice: "Of course, this is just speculation."

"We'll know the details later, but if I can escape the Emperor's death by feigning illness, isn't that a great deal? If I were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, I'd be willing to do the same."

Lou Xinyue was very uneasy, her almond-shaped eyes kept flickering, and she felt more and more that Guan Ning's speculation was reasonable.

"Are you really only twenty-two years old? Why do I feel that you are more like a shrewd and calculating fox?" she examined him.

Guan Ning curled his lips: "Are you scolding me, or praising me?"

"That's all." Lou Xinyue said lightly. She was always wary of Guan Ning, especially after she got to know more about how unfathomable Guan Ning was.

Guan Ning was about to say something when someone came.

"Hello everyone, I am a distinguished guest. I apologize for not welcoming you in person." The visitor was a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, wearing a clean robe. He was not rich or handsome, but he gave people the impression of being well-educated.

Guan Ning returned the greeting.

"My name is Lu Xiao. Lu Guangyi is my father. May I ask your name?"

"I'm Guanlou." Guan Ning made up a pseudonym.

"So it's Master Guan, I'm honored."

Lu Xiao said, "Brother Guan, you have come all the way here, which is a great honor for our Lu family. However, my father has suffered a stroke several years ago and is unable to get out of bed or speak. He is in very poor condition."

"I can only come to receive you on behalf of my father. I hope Master Guan will forgive me."

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay."

"I've heard about Mr. Lu's illness a long time ago, and I came here today specifically to visit him."

"This is a famous doctor whom I hired at a high price. Maybe he can cure Mr. Lu's illness." He pointed at Lou Xinyue with a serious look on his face.

Lou Xinyue was stunned for a moment, completely unable to keep up with Guan Ning's thoughts. How did she become a famous doctor? The key point was that this guy didn't even inform her in advance and just spoke without hesitation. She was completely convinced!

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Xiao and the servants behind him had slightly changed expressions.

"Brother Guan, you are really thoughtful."

"But my father's disease is incurable, and he is in such a state that he cannot see anyone, so thank you for your kindness." He bowed.

After these words were spoken, Guan Ning and Lou Xinyue seemed to have a tacit understanding. They looked at each other and both realized that something was wrong.

Normally, upon hearing about a famous doctor, Lu Xiao, as a son, should have reacted by giving the doctor a try, just in case it worked. However, Lu Xiao refused, and refused completely, which was not in line with common sense.

Guan Ning tried again: "Just in case there is hope, Brother Lu, please don't feel bothered."

Lu Xiao was embarrassed: "Brother Guan, there is really no need. It can't be cured. I think we should go to the hall to drink tea. I have asked the servants to prepare tea."

Lou Xinyue couldn't help but speak.

Guan Ning grabbed him and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I won't force you. I just regret that I can't meet Mr. Lu."

"I will tell my father about your visit. I'm sure he will be very happy. To be honest, you are the first one to come here since the decline of the Lu family." Lu Xiao smiled bitterly.

"Yes, yes, please!"
