"Is this a shabby place?"
Pointing his whip at the village not far away, when he received a nod from the servants like a chick pecking at rice, Lu Sanlang's face was full of disbelief, and he even forgot about his anger.
Who was Zhu Ying? She liked fancy clothes and beautiful ornaments. Even when she was a guest at other people's houses, she would often be picky about the furnishings in the house. Her vision was extremely discerning. It was said that the garden of the Duke of Zhao's mansion was also built four years ago after the Duke of Zhao listened to her when she was young and changed several of the designs. Guests praised it as the best garden in the capital.
Moreover, every year the Empress Dowager in the palace rewarded the ladies with imperial titles and the daughters of various families. Zhu Ying sometimes received more rewards than the eldest princess, not to mention those princesses.
How could such a spoiled young lady, who once openly disdainfully despised the old-fashioned and outdated Lu family house and her mother, Mrs. Chen, for her old-fashioned clothes and rigid manners, and who could play the role of a wicked mother-in-law without even needing to wear makeup, be willing to live in such a countryside where she has nothing
The rumor is that Duke Zhao had already arranged a fiancé for her here a long time ago. It's simply unbelievable!
Lu Sanlang moved his buttocks uneasily, and the heavy fat buttocks made the legs of the carefully selected tall and strong horse under him bend slightly. The horse's eyes, which seemed to be able to speak, clearly revealed a trace of resentment. However, Lu Sanlang could not see the hardship of his mount, but instead swung the whip hard, forcing the mount to run forward with all its hooves.
When he arrived at the entrance of the village first, he saw the eye-catching brick-walled and tiled house at a glance - it was impossible not to be eye-catching. Against the backdrop of the dilapidated houses that were being renovated in the village, this "mansion" stood out unprecedentedly.
Before he even asked anyone to go and investigate, he saw the pretty maid listlessly coming out of the gate carrying a copper basin.
"Liu Yin!"
After Lu Sanlang called out, he then remembered that this pretty little maid was just like her master, fierce and aggressive.
Once, there was a bold guy who didn't dare to make plans against Zhu Ying, but he stretched out his evil hands to this girl, and the result was... He was beaten so badly that even his biological parents could hardly recognize him! Afterwards, Zhu Ying took the responsibility and insulted the guy's father, the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, in front of him, so much so that the emperor was furious when he learned about this, and directly dismissed the guy who didn't teach his son well and sent him home.
Although the father and son of Duke Zhao seemed to be in danger now, and his father was scheming something while still instigating him to pursue Zhu Ying, Lu Sanlang felt that the lady was enough to suppress the situation. In addition, with the accumulated power of the Zhu family's master and maid, he immediately forced out what he thought was the kindest smile to the little girl.
At the same time, he quietly backed away, holding his horse's belly tight, fearing that the water in Liuyin's copper basin would suddenly pour down on his head.
What finally made him feel relieved was that Liu Yin poured the water in the copper basin to the side, and then raised his head unhappily: "Mr. Lu, how come you have time to come to this remote place?"
When Lu Sanlang heard Liuyin complaining about the remote countryside, he felt that the sun that had been rising from the west had finally become normal.
Just like he had to pretend to be lustful and chase Miss Zhu, how could Zhu Ying, who was as proud as a peacock, be willing to stay in the countryside? Oh, it is said that peacocks are all male...
