After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 78: Lu Jiangnian's mind is distracted

Even in the dark, his eyesight was still amazing.

A delicate white little foot was placed on the dark-patterned silk quilt. The round toes were so cute that he had an urge to play with them.

It was a cool August night, but Yuan Wanru was wrapped too tightly, and with a masculine man beside her, she felt stuffy unconsciously. In a daze, she stretched out one foot.

Her feet rubbed back and forth on the quilt like a naughty little white rabbit. She changed the angles two or three times before finally finding a comfortable position and settling down.

Lu Jiangnian's legs were itchy from being rubbed by her, and his whole body was like a taut bowstring. His weak spots had already...

His fists were clenched so tightly that veins bulged out. He really wanted to give this woman who was sleeping soundly a beating.

Does she know that she can't just light a man's fire, and once she lights a fire, she has to be responsible for putting it out!

He closed his eyes and breathed deeply...

Finally, I suppressed the desire in my heart.

Sighing, he reached out and grabbed her ankles, trying to pull her feet off of him.

As soon as he placed his thick palm on it, the touch, as smooth as cheese, made him reluctant to let go.

She got angry, but she didn't care, so it wasn't too much for him to touch her feet, right?

Lu Jiangnian once accidentally saw peasant women walking barefoot on the ground, but the feet of those peasant women were completely different from Yuan Wanru's jade feet.

The slender foot in his hand was whiter than mutton-fat jade, shining with a bright light, soft and gentle, as if it had no bones. He stroked it carefully and couldn't let it go.

I never knew that he could be so distracted just because of a soft little foot.

Yuan Wanru felt itchy on her feet while she was sleeping, thinking a mosquito was biting her. "Go away, you stinky mosquito!"

She swung her foot impatiently and almost kicked Lu Jiangnian somewhere, turning him into a eunuch.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

How could he dare to have the slightest romantic thought? He looked at the woman sleeping soundly with a dark face, gnashing his teeth in anger and cursing in a low voice: "Stupid woman, you almost made me a widow!"

-

Yuan Wanru had a dreamless night. When she woke up, it was already bright outside and Lu Jiangnian was nowhere to be seen.

The outer quilt was neatly folded and placed at her feet.

She got up and washed up, thinking back to last night when mosquitoes seemed to disturb her sweet dreams. "Liuzhi, we need to fumigate the mosquitoes tonight."

Liuzhi was surprised: "It's already cold, and there are still mosquitoes?"

Yuan Wanru nodded: "I guess there are still one or two left. Anyway, let's fumigate them to prevent them from flying into the tent again tonight."

After breakfast, she went out with Liuzhi and Xu Pozi.

Tomorrow Cao Lanxin will take Liang Yusong to Hongxiufang. Today she will survey the terrain and make a plan.

The carriage from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery headed all the way to Chunming Street and stopped at Xiji Teahouse on Chunming Street.

To the left of Xiji Teahouse is Renji Pharmacy, and to the right is Hongxiufang.

The last time, when Liu Yan went to Renji Pharmacy to get medicine for her, she happened to see several strong men gathered at the door of Hongxiufang, beating up a man of seventeen or eighteen years old. The man was beaten all over his body and had two broken ribs.

The owner of Renji Pharmacy kindly carried him in for treatment, thus saving his life.

After asking curiously, Liu Yan found out that the man's family ran a cloth shop. Hongxiufang had been buying goods from their cloth shop for many years but had never paid.

Small businesses are already struggling, and the man's parents were sick and he had no money for medical treatment or medicine, so he turned to Hongxiufang.

The Hongxiufang was the property of the Jiang family. They relied on the Jiang family's bullying to dominate the market, buying cloth at low prices, and even robbing people by force, and seized other people's assets without spending a penny.

Forced by the power of the Chiang family, many people had no choice but to swallow their anger.

This time, the man was really in trouble and he mustered up the courage to go to the house to collect the debt.

But the owner of Hongxiufang refused to admit his mistake. Not only that, he even called a group of thugs to beat him half to death.

Liu Yan was very angry that day and told Yuan Wanru about it when he came back.

Because Jiang Suiyuan instigated Murong Ling to intercept Lu Jiangnian at Qingfeng Tower, Yuan Wanru had no good feelings towards the Jiang family. After hearing about this, she became even more disgusted with the Jiang family.

This time, she took advantage of this opportunity to trick Hongxiufang.

They went up to the private room on the right side of the second floor. The open wooden window faced Chunming Street. Looking out from the window of Xiji Teahouse and through the window lattice of Hongxiufang, they could clearly see the layout of the first floor of Hongxiufang.

"Grandma Xu, you stay here and watch. Liuzhi and I will go to Hongxiufang to check the place where we can try on clothes."

Mrs. Xu said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely check it carefully."

Yuan Wanru was dressed elegantly. The lady who greeted guests at Hongxiufang enthusiastically introduced the fashionable clothes: "Madam, this is the newest style from the south. It will look very beautiful on you."

Yuan Wanru responded casually and looked around the layout of Hongxiufang inconspicuously.

Because of their aggressive business approach, the cost of clothes is relatively low, so the prices here are not expensive. There are many customers coming and going, which shows that business is booming.

Yuan Wanru looked around casually, picked out two pieces, and walked towards the fitting room.

The window on the right side of the fitting room faces the private room of Xiji Tea House diagonally. From here, she can see Mrs. Xu standing by the window.

The room is not very spacious, so a large skylight is opened above to let in light.

She was very satisfied. With this skylight, tomorrow's plan would definitely succeed.

After buying the clothes, she took Liuzhi back to the private room.

When Mrs. Xu saw her, she said with certainty, "Madam, as long as you can give me a signal in time tomorrow, I will be able to put the things into the room smoothly."

"Well, it all depends on you."

It was a rare opportunity for her to go out, so she walked around Chunming Street for a long time before she chose a small shop, had something to eat, and went home.

I heard that Murong Ling's injuries have fully healed, but the princess is watching her closely and won't let her leave the Prince of Qin's Mansion.

After attending the fifth prince's wedding, Princess Qin will take Murong Ling away from the capital.

Yuan Wanru felt much happier since she didn't meet any unpleasant people when she went out.

After returning to Lingshuiju, she closed the door and prepared the medicine. After working for half an hour, she finally prepared the bait.

"Grandma Xu, this medicine can help you catch those little creatures and put them to sleep until tomorrow morning. Go to the bamboo forest tonight and try it. Catch a dozen or so."

Mrs. Xu was a reliable person and didn't like to ask too many questions. She took the pills and retreated.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

Tomorrow, Liang Yusong's "liveliness" will definitely make her eat an extra bowl of rice.

When Lu Jiangnian came in, he saw her overjoyed look and asked with amusement, "Did you find gold today?"

Otherwise, why would she smile so happily?

Yuan Wanru winked at him playfully: "I'm happier than finding gold, but I won't tell you."

Lu Jiangnian liked to see her lively like this the most: "Okay, keep your little secret."

"Tomorrow is the Fifth Prince's wedding. You and I will attend the banquet together in the evening."
