The prince is very cruel

"please!"

Lu Xiao was in front and Guan Ning was walking behind.

Lou Xinyue couldn't help but whisper: "Why did you pull me just now?"

"Don't be anxious. Even if you force your way in, he will pretend to have a stroke and you won't be able to get anything out of him. You will even be arrested as a troublemaker," said Guan Ning.

Lou Xinyue pursed her lips and suppressed her anger once again.

Entering the hall, it is grand yet simple. I wonder if it is intentionally low-key.

A few cups of tea were steaming hot.

Several people sat down, but there were servants from the Lu family standing behind them, making it difficult to get away.

"Brother Guan, please."

"please."

Guan Ning picked up the tea, took a big sip, and looked around.

At this time, Lu Xiao said, "Brother Guan looks very impressive. I wonder which Guan family he is from?"

"Longxi." Guan Ning blurted out.

"Longxi?" Lu Xiao was surprised, because that was the place where the powerful families were entrenched.

"That place is thousands of miles away from the capital. Is it possible that you came to the capital just for this matter?"

"Of course not. It's just on the way. I came to the capital this time to seek an official position and serve the court." Guan Ning said seriously.

Hearing this, Lu Xiao's eyes lit up, and then he envied: "Brother Guan really has great ambitions and a bright future."

Lou Xinyue, who was standing by, almost believed it and shook her head in her heart. How could the honest Lu Xiao be a match for this guy?

"Hehe, I don't deserve it."

"Brother Lu, you are so talented, you can do it too."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao smiled bitterly: "Brother Guan, you know the situation of the Lu family, I..."

As he spoke, a hint of loneliness appeared in his eyes. He came from a prominent family, but his family fell into poverty. Without any background or connections, it was almost impossible for him to get a government position.

It can be seen that he doesn't want to be mediocre, but he has no choice.

Guan Ning continued to probe, "Even if Master Lu is ill, he should still have some disciples and old friends, right?"

Lu Xiao shook his head bitterly: "Ever since my father was dismissed, those who used to come to curry favor with him have changed their attitude."

"I once went to look for those so-called old friends, but... I couldn't even get through the door."

Guan Ning nodded, then chatted with Lu Xiao for a while, learned about the recent situation of the Lu family, gained Lu Xiao's trust, and then felt that the time was almost right.

Then he suddenly cried out: "Ouch!"

Lu Xiao and the others were startled: "Brother Guan, what's wrong?"

"Hiss..." Guan Ning covered his stomach, seeming to be in pain.

"Brother Lu, I don't know if I ate something bad, but my stomach hurts so much, I can't stand it anymore. Can I borrow your dry toilet?"

The realistic look made Shengqi and the others almost believe it and they really thought he had a stomach upset.

"what?"

"This... Come on, Mr. Zhang, take Master Guan over there, quickly." Lu Xiao was a nice guy and gave instructions quickly.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Brother Lu. I'll be back soon." Guan Ning said as he quickly left with the others.

As if receiving a signal, Lou Xinyue stood up and said, "Master Lu, I'll go check on Master Guan. If he has an upset stomach, he might need some medicine."

"Okay, go ahead." Lu Xiao didn't think there was anything wrong at all, and even felt a little ashamed. He repeatedly asked the servants if there was anything wrong with the tea.

A quiet side room, this is where the Lu family goes to the toilet, and the Lu family's servants are waiting outside.

boom!

bang bang.

Some slight collision sounds were heard, but no one noticed.

The wooden board on top of the dry toilet suddenly moved by itself, revealing a hole. Guan Ning climbed up with difficulty in the narrow space.

"You're really good at making up stories. One moment it's about seeking a famous doctor, the next moment it's about gaining fame, and the next moment it's about having a stomachache. A prince like you must have lied to women a lot, right?"

Lou Xinyue appeared on the roof at some point, and the two of them reunited.

"Bullshit, am I that kind of person? Stop talking nonsense and help me, I'm stuck!" Guan Ning was annoyed and stuffed his nostrils with paper. After all, it was a hot day and the dry toilet still smelled a bit.

Lou Xinyue glanced at him and found it quite funny. Her red lips under the fence actually curled up for a rare moment, and then she gently pulled Guan Ning up.
