After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Rong Shu never expected that after all these years of pretending and deceiving countless people, he would actually fail today.

If he allowed Lu Jiangnian to slander him, his reputation would be damaged in the future, so how could he continue to deceive others?

Thinking of this, he stood up, with an expression of deep understanding, "Today at Yunjian Temple, I refused in every possible way, unwilling to get involved in your family's affairs. It was only because of your two ladies' earnest pleas that I, out of compassion, followed you to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion."

"Everything I said is based on my conclusions based on numerology. If Master Lu doesn't believe me, then that's fine. But why did you hurt him for no reason?"

"Even if you are in a high position of power, you cannot act so recklessly."

"Although I am an outsider, I cannot allow others to bully and slander me. If Master Lu is willing to apologize to me and stop defaming my reputation, I will forgive this sword blow."

"If not, I know a few ministers in the court. If things get out of hand, it won't be a good thing for your Lu family."

Lu Bai was a little nervous. This Rong Shu was indeed quite famous. It was said that the Tang family of Deyang Marquisate, the Zhao family of the Minister of War and other wealthy families had all dealt with him.

These matters of fortune-telling have always been mysterious. Jiang Nian injured someone without any evidence, which was a bit reckless.

He was still thinking about how to deal with it, but Lu Jiangnian sneered and said, "Old bald donkey, don't think so highly of yourself. In my eyes, you are nothing."

"If you don't want to leave, then leave these legs here. You won't be using them anyway."

Seeing his murderous gaze, Rong Shu's whole body froze.

How come this person is unreasonable and just shouts for war and killing? He has no manners at all.

He was unwilling to leave in such disgrace, but under such a cold gaze, his breathing became heavier.

Rong Shu saw that Lu Jiangnian had a smile on his face and his right hand fell on his waist.

Thinking of the soft sword that had stabbed him before, which was wrapped around Lu Jiangnian's waist, he retreated in fear and dared not say a word.

He still wants these legs.

Rong Shu didn't dare to say another word and staggered out of Rongshou Hall. His back looked hurried and embarrassed.

Lu Jiangnian raised the corner of his lips in a dangerous arc, pulled off the beads from the tassel at his waist and threw them at Rong Shu's knees. Before Rong Shu knew what was happening, he fell to the ground.

"Ouch!"

The right arm that was scratched by Lu Jiangnian was bleeding profusely and spilled onto the ground.

Rong Shu didn't dare to cry out in pain. He jumped up using his hands and feet and ran out.

Lu Jiangnian casually glanced at Xuan Qing who was standing at the door, and Xuan Qing immediately followed him quietly.

Zhou Fang watched all this in amazement.

After today's contact, she was very convinced of Rong Shu. Lu Jiangnian drove him away inexplicably. She was still not convinced and was about to express her dissatisfaction, but she saw Rong Shu fall flat on his face.

This... was clearly a person, but with this fall, that mysterious feeling was shattered in an instant.

It seems that this person is indeed not very reliable. Maybe he is really a liar.

Lu Jiangnian acted quickly, but Lu Song could not hide it. His son was indeed so vindictive.

After returning to Beijing from the North Camp to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Song had already realized in just a few days that Lu Jiangnian really cared about Yuan Wanru. Therefore, the method proposed by Rong Shu was equivalent to touching Lu Jiangnian's sore spot.

That's why Jiang Nian hates forgiveness so much.

"There are no outsiders here. Jiang Nian, tell me, what happened to your grandmother?"

For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Lu Jiangnian.

Yuan Wanru felt nervous. He had to be smart and not give her away.

Although for the Lu family, her ability to wake up Old Madam Lu was a great achievement.

However, she didn't want others to know her role in it.

Especially Liang Yusong and the Second Prince.

"I can't tell you yet."

"Anyway, I'll wake up grandma tomorrow."

Yuan Wanru breathed a sigh of relief. It was true. This person was so cunning. Since she hadn't told him the truth, he should have known that she didn't want too many people to know that she knew about the Sleep Nightmare Gu.

Lu Song frowned. Ever since his mother fell into a coma, he felt that things were not simple.

Now hearing what his son said, it further confirmed his suspicions.

"Okay, as long as your grandmother wakes up."

My son has been able to take care of himself for a long time. If he thinks he should tell them, he will tell them.

Lu Bai was about to ask more questions, but his elder brother's words cut off the doubts on his lips.

What is going on with his mother? As a son, shouldn’t he know?

He was a little worried. How come his elder brother had no curiosity at all?

A pair of eager eyes looked at Jiang Nian, expecting him to explain, but his eldest nephew glanced at him casually and gave him a look: No comment.

Lu Bai: ...

These days, I feel that my eldest nephew is even less popular than when he was a child.

Lu Jiangnian asked Zhou Fang instead, "How did Second Aunt know about this forgiveness?"

Zhou Fang was stunned. She hadn't expected him to pay attention to this. "Last night, Shen brought the Sixth Miss to pay her respects. Mrs. Han, who was beside her, said that someone in their hometown had a strange disease cured by asking a deity."

"The old lady has been ill for several days, and the doctors are helpless. We must try whatever we can."

"Our family doesn't know much about this. Aunt Han said that the most famous person in the capital is Master Rongshu. I asked someone to inquire about it this morning, and Aunt Han's words are true."

"That's why your mother and I went to invite him to our house."

Zhou Fang was also feeling a little depressed. Was the person she had invited with such great difficulty really a liar?

Anyway, if Lu Jiangnian can't wake the old lady up tomorrow, she will try again. At worst, she can find someone else.

What if, it is really the Yuan family that defeated me?

Whenever she thought of this possibility, she felt uneasy, fearing that Yuan Wanru would bring bad luck to her someday.

Maybe she was already unlucky, otherwise why would she pay three thousand taels to Yuan Wanru for no reason.

Shen family?

She was Lu Bai's concubine and the biological mother of the sixth lady Lu Sha. She had almost no presence in the mansion. Yuan Wanru recalled carefully and seemed to have never heard Shen say a word.

She often remained silent during family reunions.

She turned her head to look at Lu Jiangnian, but unexpectedly, his deep eyes were staring at her.

He asked softly, "Is there something wrong?"

Yuan Wanru shook her head, there was too little information.

In the book, Shen is a character who hardly appears in the story, and she cannot infer what role Shen played in this matter.

However, any doubts should not be easily ignored.

The murderer who pushed the original owner into the water at Wangzhu Lake has not been found yet, which means that there is a murderer hiding in the mansion.

No matter what that person's motive is, she must find him out.

Her eyes were like water, hiding a thousand words, but she only said softly: "Let's talk later."

Lu Jiangnian seemed to understand what she meant and nodded with a smile: "Yeah."

Lu Bai thought that his nephew would ask more questions, but who knew that the young couple would start a quarrel right under their noses.

Is this something that their elders should see?
