After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Yuan Wanru ignored the tea bag. She took a piece of almond cake and put it in her mouth. It was salty and tasted good.

"what ever."

"You should buy the red gold hairpin in the next two days. I want to cash it in."

Wang Min was very good to the original owner, giving him a lot of good things and about two hundred taels of silver every year.

Logically speaking, the mansion has a monthly allowance, and rouge, powder, and clothes for all seasons are also covered by the government, so the original owner should be very wealthy.

However, the original owner had an uncle in her hometown, and she secretly sent most of her money back to her hometown every year.

The rest had to be used to reward the servants. The second house would take advantage of her from time to time, so she had less than two hundred taels in her hand now.

It's so poor.

In ancient times, medicinal materials were mainly wild and not as convenient as they are today.

Scarcity makes things valuable. Buying medicine requires a lot of money, and the little money she has now can't do much.

Lu Jiangnian raised his eyes to look at her: "What? Are you short of money?"

"Didn't mother just tell me to give you some money? Are you worried that I won't give it to you?"

Yuan Wanru curled the corners of her lips and casually fiddled with the tea bag on the table with her hand. Her slender white fingers danced on it randomly, disorganized and willful. Lu Jiangnian just felt that the hand was disturbing.

He really wanted to hold down that rebellious little hand and make her behave herself.

This action has a teasing meaning.

"Because of your promotion, mother made me new clothes a few days ago, saying that the family was very happy and that we should all buy two autumn clothes together."

"As for rouge and powder, I have no shortage of them, nor do I lack jewelry."

"You don't have to give me any more silver."

"I only want 70% of the stolen money from the buyao."

She said it nonchalantly, but Lu Jiangnian felt a surge of inexplicable anger in his heart.

Is it obvious that you don't want to spend his money?

How ridiculous! Could it be that Lu Jiangnian couldn't afford to support her?

His expression suddenly turned cold, and his tone was stern: "I need to rearrange the defenses of the palace in the next two days, so I don't have time to deal with that piece of junk."

Yuan Wanru was a little confused and felt that he was suddenly unhappy?

But, that shouldn't be the case, she didn't provoke him, right?

"If you don't have time, you can ask one of your men to handle it. Xuanqing is quite capable, and he will definitely get it done."

These words made Lu Jiangnian's eyes even colder.

"You actually know him well. I didn't know what he did that earned your high regard. Why don't you tell me in detail so I can reward him."

Yuan Wanru was speechless. She was just being polite. Since he wanted to use his people, it wouldn't be wrong to praise him.

Why did he become even more sarcastic?

"I just thought he was your subordinate, so I said it casually."

"He didn't do anything to impress me."

After he finished speaking, the temperature in the room seemed to rise a lot, and the expression of the person opposite him also softened a little.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jiangnian replied, "I'll have someone take care of the buyao."

Yuan Wanru needed money urgently and couldn't help asking, "If it's the fastest, can you give me the money tomorrow?"

Lu Jiangnian looked at her intently and said, "Probably."

Of course, she was not very satisfied with this answer.

She glanced at Lu Jiangnian secretly, opened her mouth, but finally did not ask again.

If she annoyed him and he became rebellious and refused to help her sell the goods, that would be troublesome.

"Okay, I'll wait for your letter."

She ignored Lu Jiangnian and stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Her slender figure walked around the beaded curtain separated by a flower cover and entered the inner room.

Lu Jiangnian looked at the swaying pearl curtain, his eyes deep as the sea and the abyss.

Yuan Wanru took off the hairpins on her head, changed into a new outer garment, and then slowly walked out.

Only then did he realize that Lu Jiangnian was still there.

His brows were furrowed, and wisps of smoke were coming out of the teacup in his hand. The mist blurred his expression, and she couldn't see it clearly.

"Why are you still here?"

Lu Jiangnian didn't look up, still staring at the teacup in his hand: "I haven't finished the tea yet."

Yuan Wanru was a little surprised. She didn't realize that this person loved tea so much and was reluctant to waste it at all.

She said nothing more, walked slowly to the low couch by the window, and began to read leisurely.

The room was filled with the smell of cedar and a faint hint of sandalwood.

The scent of incense lingered in her nose, and Yuan Wanru suddenly felt that the smell was very similar to that of Lu Jiangnian.

You could hear a pin drop in the room. Lu Jiangnian put down his teacup and looked at her peaceful profile, feeling peace in his heart.

After a long while, Lu Jiangnian finished his tea and suddenly asked her, "What's wrong with Wan Bin?"

Yuan Wanru was so absorbed in watching that when she heard this, she blurted out without thinking, "Wan Bin is pretty good, but Lu Yun was..."

Fortunately, she stopped talking in time.

She almost fell into Lu Jiangnian's trap.

This man is indeed insidious.

He deliberately waited until she was relaxed before asking the question, fearing that she had already noticed the clues in Wangchun Hall just now.

What's good about Wan Bin?

When did she meet Wan Bin?

Somehow, he felt a little irritated.

"Do you know Wan Bin?"

The Wan family and their Lu family rarely interact with each other.

Wan Bin had been studying in an academy in other places in his early years and only returned to Beijing to work last year. Yuan Wanru had lived in seclusion for a long time, so how could she recognize Wan Bin?

Not to mention, Wan Bin is pretty good!

His eyes instantly became sharp. He stood up and walked to her side, looking down at her condescendingly: "Have you met Wan Bin?"

That handsome face was like a sword hidden in its scabbard, making her feel as if a storm was about to come.

Her scalp tensed up, and she tried to calm herself down. She met his scrutinizing gaze and smiled sweetly and charmingly.

"I, I just heard my mother mention it."

"Mother doesn't treat Yun'er like her own daughter, but she loves her dearly. She's been eyeing Wan Bin for a while now. I've heard her say that a long time ago."

Lu Jiangnian bent down and pressed down, his eyebrows became sharper, and Yuan Wanru couldn't help but shudder.

"what are you doing?"

He got closer and closer, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Yuan Wanru's heart was pounding, and she felt her feelings magnified infinitely. She could clearly feel his fresh breath, wrapped in the scent of cedar.

Lu Jiangnian said in a cold voice: "I'm not your mother. Do you think I'm easy to fool by lying to me?"

"When Mom mentioned Wan Bin, your expression was clearly wrong."

"Tell me, what's going on between you and Wan Bin?"

Yuan Wanru's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect that he actually noticed that something was wrong with her at that time.

This person's eyes are so sharp.

"You're talking nonsense. I've been fine all along, so why do I look so wrong?"

"Okay, stand up quickly."

His face was right above hers, and she was lying completely down.

For some reason, a thought flashed through Yuan Wanru's mind: this man's waist is so good that he can bend so much.

Wouldn't he feel uncomfortable?

Unexpectedly, not only did he not stand up, he even moved closer to her face.

She held her breath, turned her head away, and didn't look at him again.
