After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Lu Jiangnian watched her approach quietly. She smiled as brightly as the summer sun. "Mom said the day after tomorrow is Qixi Festival. We just got married this year, so she asked us to go to Xiangyuan Temple to pay our respects."

There's a rumor in the capital that the marriage fortune-telling books at Xiangyuan Temple are particularly effective. Over time, Xiangyuan Temple has become a treasured place for praying for marriage. Especially on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), the temple is flooded with young men and women, including many newlyweds, who come to burn incense.

Wang Min hoped that they would live in harmony, so she specifically reminded him of this matter. Yuan Wanru couldn't bear to refuse her and also wanted to take the opportunity to go out for a walk.

"If you have something to do, it's okay. We can go out together, each go our own way, and then agree to return home together. How about that?"

Lu Jiangnian glanced at her. Because of the jogging just now, her face was flushed, and her face looked particularly pink and tender, which was very beautiful.

He looked into the distance, no longer looking at her: "Just for this?"

"understood."

The answer was too vague, and Yuan Wanru was dissatisfied. She tugged at his sleeve and said, "What do you mean by 'I know'? Will you accompany me to Xiangyuan Temple?"

"Well, I'll go with you since I have nothing to do that day."

She has lived in seclusion for a long time. During the Qixi Festival, Xiangyuan Temple was crowded with people. If anything happened to him, her mother would not forgive him.

In order to avoid trouble, it is better to go with her, burn incense and come back. It will only take more than an hour.

Yuan Wanru didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to: "Then it's settled."

The woman was very beautiful, with a fair, tender and delicate face, which looked particularly delicate with the help of makeup. The man was handsome and tall, with a graceful temperament. His usually cold and hard expression now showed a bit more patience, and he was listening to what the woman beside him said.

The talent of a man and a woman is a match made in heaven.

The two of them talked and chatted in a coordinated pace. In the eyes of many people, this scene made them feel that the eldest son and the eldest lady had a very good relationship.

Yuan Wanru thought of what happened in Tinglan Water Pavilion, secretly glanced at Lu Jiangnian, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He had sensed something long ago, but he hadn't heard her speak a word even after entering the gate of Lingshui Residence.

"Anything else?"

Her black and white eyes reflected his figure, with a hint of doubt, as if she didn't know what he meant.

Lu Jiangnian sighed secretly: "What did you want to say just now?"

She seemed to have just reacted, curled her lips and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

They had already walked to the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. She looked up at him. A breeze rustled the leaves, and a fallen leaf happened to fall into her black hair. The inky black was dotted with verdant green, which was very strange.

She was unaware of anything and told the story of Tinglan Water Pavilion in a few words.

"I don't know what trap your cousin is playing on me."

Lu Jiangnian frowned: "You think too much, why would she set you up?"

Yuan Wanru looked at him with a half-smile: "Well, let's see what happens next."

"You told me not to cause trouble, but there are many troublemakers in this family. Don't blame the good people next time."

She was serious, with a stern face, and spoke righteously, but the green color crawled steadily on her head like a little turtle, which he found very funny.

Seeing her so confident, Lu Jiangnian rarely felt like teasing her.

He half-closed his eyes, stared at her head, and said seriously, "There's a fat, green bug crawling around on your head."

what!

A fat bug?

A picture instantly appeared in Yuan Wanru's mind: a soft-bodied worm wriggling non-stop, crawling on her head.

She was getting goosebumps.

She began to shake her head from side to side, shaking it like a rattle, trying to shake the bugs off.

Bugs aren't scary, but they feel soft and sticky to the touch, which is a bit disgusting.

"Lu Jiangnian, did the bug fall off?"

The voice was strained, but not screaming.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He thought she would be frightened and scream, but he didn't expect her to be surprisingly calm.

He was dizzy from her shaking. He reached over and plucked the leaf, tossing it away casually. Then he held her head with both hands and held it still. "Stop shaking it. The bug is gone."

Yuan Wanru's head was also dizzy. She was confused and looked at him with soft eyes: "Did you really take it away?"

Like a little puppy wagging its tail and asking for petting.

His heart moved and he almost reached out and touched her furry little head.

"real."

Her eyes curved into crescents: "Thank you."

This smile was so beautiful that it touched his heart.

After returning to the bedroom, Yuan Wanru hurriedly took off the jewelry on her head. When she thought about bugs crawling on her head, she couldn't bear it for a moment and just wanted to wash and take a bath as soon as possible.

Suddenly, she stopped and said, "Liu Yan, did you see the bug on my head just now?"

Liu Yan looked embarrassed, but finally decided to tell the truth: "Just now, I was standing far away, half a head shorter than Madam, and I couldn't see clearly whether there were any bugs or not."

"I saw a fallen leaf float onto your head, but the eldest master later removed it."

Yuan Wanru sneered repeatedly: "Childish and boring!"

What a bug, she was fooled by him.

In the book, Lu Jiangnian is a cold and aloof character, but he actually did such a childish thing!

A man who does not seek revenge is not a gentleman. He played tricks on her, so she has to play tricks on him once, to be fair.

Liu Yan shrank his neck, feeling that the eldest young lady's smile was a little scary.

-

That afternoon, Cao Lanxin's personal maid Fangfei entered Lingshuiju carrying two brocade boxes.

Fangfei is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She is pretty, smart and speaks carefully.

"Madam, you may not know that this hairpin is a wedding gift from our daughter to you."

"The young lady told me to be quiet. It was all my fault. I got mixed up at the waterside pavilion today and caused a disturbance."

"The silver hairpin and step-shaking ornaments represent our young lady's heartfelt wishes. Madam, please accept them."

Yuan Wanru waved her hand: "I appreciate my cousin's kindness. The hairpin is of great significance. Why would you give it to me?"

"Leave the silver hairpin behind, and take the hairpin with you."

Fang Fei smiled and said, "The young lady said that she is staying at the Marquis' Mansion as a guest. The eldest young master's wife is her cousin's wife. She will need your help in the future and take her out to see the world."

"The young lady has reached a certain age, and there are some things that she has to consider. She also asks the eldest young lady to help her with something. Not to mention the hairpin, even if it's a complete set of headgear, she would be willing to give it to the eldest young lady."

"As long as it can be accomplished, I'm sure our master will be happy too."

Yuan Wanru had a smile on her face, but the smile in her eyes was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth.

This was a blatant temptation. Perhaps the incident of Rong Shoutang stealing the mutton-fat jade bracelet made Cao Lanxin think that she was a greedy and insatiable villain.

Why did the Cao sisters follow Madam Lu to Beijing?

Isn't it just to find a good marriage in the capital?

The reason of using a whole set of red gold head ornaments to entangle her and asking her to help Cao Lanxin to make connections seems reasonable, but is she that stupid?

With Old Madam Lu around, how could the Cao sisters possibly look down on her? Yuan Wanru still has some self-awareness.

However, since she was so eager to give it to her, she accepted it generously.

Since someone is trying every possible way to give her gifts, why should she refuse them?

Once it went into her pocket, Cao Lanxin couldn't get it back.

"My cousin spent a lot of money, Liu Yan, please accept it."

Fang Fei breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yuan Wanru with contempt in her eyes.

As expected, she came from a humble background and was at a loss when she saw good things. She was waiting for the day when Yuan Wanru would make a fool of herself.

After Fangfei left, Liuzhi asked worriedly, "Why did your cousin give you such an expensive gift?"

Yuan Wanru pinched a piece of walnut cake, took a big bite, and the fragrance lingered on her lips and teeth.

"She's setting a trap for me, but I'll let her experience the feeling of losing both the wife and the army."
