"Could it be that I recognized the wrong person?"

"Sister, look, is this person Lu Jiangnian?"

Lu Jiangnian suddenly stopped, and then a clear male voice was heard, the tone full of teasing and mocking.

Yuan Wanru raised her head from his arms and saw a tall, handsome young man standing in front of her. He had a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, looking at Lu Jiangnian and her without blinking. His eyes were full of curiosity, but not in a presumptuous way.

It seems that he is about the same age as Lu Jiangnian. If Lu Jiangnian is the deep and cold winter, then he is the warm and cozy mid-spring.

Next to him stood a girl who was slightly shorter than him. She was wearing a silver-red skirt, with a smile as bright as summer and bright eyes.

She was not as graceful and charming as ordinary ladies. She had a heroic temperament all over her body. Yuan Wanru fell in love with this girl at first sight.

The woman smiled naturally and refreshingly, answering the man's question: "If it's not Prince Lu, then who is it?"

"Brother, look at Prince Lu, there's a beauty in your arms."

"Look at you again, a loner."

"You should learn and marry a sister-in-law as soon as possible, so that your grandfather won't have to nag you day and night."

Lu Jiangnian was teased, but he was not embarrassed at all.

The embarrassed person was Yuan Wanru, whom he was holding.

She struggled to get down, but Lu Jiangnian held her even tighter. He glanced down at her and said, "Don't move."

Then, he said to the man in a concise manner, "Sun Huanzhi, Murong Ling is upstairs."

"excuse me."

It turned out that the man was Sun Huanzhi, the prince of Duke Xin, and the person standing next to him was his sister Sun Haining.

Sun Haining frowned when he heard Murong Ling's name: "What bad luck."

Sun Huanzhi looked at Lu Jiangnian sympathetically. He stepped aside to make way for him. His eyes met a pair of dark, lively eyes, and he was slightly startled. "This is my sister-in-law, right? I apologize for my rudeness."

Yuan Wanru smiled and said, "Hello, Prince Sun, I..."

Lu Jiangnian heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs. His brows furrowed, and he carried her past the Sun siblings. "We'll talk about it later. Let's go now."

-

Lu Jiangnian carried her onto the carriage, and then did not go out to ride the horse. He knocked on the wall of the carriage, and the carriage slowly started moving.

Originally, Yuan Wanru thought the carriage had a lot of space, but with him there, it seemed very cramped.

Yuan Wanru asked doubtfully, "What are you doing up here?"

Lu Jiangnian sat opposite her with his long legs stretched out in the carriage, his knees almost touching hers.

He opened his eyes and asked in an unclear tone, "What happened just now?"

Yuan Wanru curled her lips, leaned against the car wall, and said casually: "Isn't it just as I said upstairs? Don't you believe it?"

He chuckled softly, his smile filled with an indescribable wantonness and devilish charm: "Do you take me as a fool?"

"With your mouth, are you going to stand there and let Murong Ling scold you?"

His eyes fell on the girl's plump, crimson lips. Her lips were slightly open, and his white teeth and a little bit of his tongue were vaguely visible.

His eyes suddenly became deep, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Seeing that she couldn't deceive him, Yuan Wanru simply didn't hide anything from him and told him the whole story from beginning to end. After listening to it, Lu Jiangnian didn't know what to say.

This guy is really brave.

She clearly wanted to wrongfully kill Murong Ling, and she treated Murong Ling like a fool and played a trick on her.

"you really……"

He shook his head, feeling helpless and amused, but in his heart he felt an indescribable joy.

She is indeed smart and can find a safe way to protect herself in a short time.

"You should go out less in the future."

Yuan Wanru asked dissatisfiedly: "Why? Why don't you let me go out?"

Lu Jiangnian also leaned against the car wall, his posture calm and elegant, "I'm afraid you'll be beaten by Murong Ling as soon as you go out."

"Every time she goes out, she is followed by seven or eight followers, and she can wield a whip herself."

"You cheated on her this time, but can you cheat on her again next time?"

"And after this incident, I'm afraid she hates you to the core. Do you think she will beat you up the next time she sees you?"

Yuan Wanru had already known that after this incident, Murong Ling hated her even more.

But so what.

"The fact that she was fooled by me once proves that she is not very smart."

"If it happens once, it will happen again. Next time, I'll use another trick to deceive her, and she'll probably fall for it again."

"It's hard to say who will win or lose between her and me."

There was a relaxed expression on her face, without any trace of fear.

Lu Jiangnian couldn't help but be surprised. You know, many noble ladies in the capital were somewhat scared when talking about Murong Ling.

After all, it is normal for girls to talk, but Murong Ling is the kind of person who will resort to violence if she disagrees with something or is not satisfied with it.

As a girl, who has ever seen such a scene?

As for Yuan Wanru, she was really not afraid, and a touch of admiration welled up in his heart.

His woman, even if she is just a figurehead, should not be a spineless person.

However, he still needs to say a few more words of advice.

"No matter what, don't confront her head-on. Remember to come to me if you have any problems."

"Today is good."

If she hadn't made the noise in time, he wouldn't have arrived in time.

Yuan Wanru just smiled and didn't answer.

Rely on him?

What if I can’t find him?

The most reliable person, of course, is herself.

The car curtain fluttered, and I happened to see a drugstore with four big characters "Ren Ji Drugstore" written on the plaque.

With a strong enemy like Murong Ling by her side, she really can't be careless and must prepare self-defense items early.

When Lu Jiangnian saw her expression, he knew that she didn't take his words to heart, and a slight displeasure rose in his heart.

Don't you want to rely on him?

Humph.

When she suffers a great loss, she will know who is the most reliable.

His face suddenly turned cold, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, no longer looking at her.

Yuan Wanru suddenly found that the air seemed to have suddenly turned cold.

She glanced at Lu Jiangnian, who had his eyes closed, and didn't find anything unusual, so she leaned against the car window and watched the hustle and bustle on the street.

The carriage was quiet. After a while, Lu Jiangnian opened his eyes, only to see the heartless woman looking at the street scene with great interest, seeming happy to herself.

He shouldn't care about her!

Heartless little liar!

-

Xiangyuan Temple.

Qixi Festival is a romantic festival. There is an endless stream of pilgrims in Xiangyuan Temple. Most of the people coming and going are young men and women. The breath of youth is overwhelming, and Yuan Wanru's heart feels lifted up.

"A lot of people."

Liu Yan looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Jiangnian had already taken the lead and was unwilling to wait even a moment longer.

Yuan Wanru didn't care and followed slowly with Liu Yan and Liu Zhi.

Liu Yan muttered, "It seems that the eldest master is a little unhappy."

Liuzhi glanced at her and disagreed: "No, the eldest master is always so serious."

Lu Jiangnian walked for a long time and turned around but didn't see Yuan Wanru. He raised his eyes and saw that she had fallen far behind him, her face became even colder.

"Prince Lu, I didn't expect to see you here."

A soft female voice sounded from behind him.
