Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 57 Break up
Bai Xing looked extremely happy, while beckoning Ji Wuyan to sit down, he turned around and asked Xiao Er to order some more signature dishes.

"Don't bother, Mr. Bai." Ji Wuyan stopped him, explaining the purpose of his visit, "Today I'm invited to an appointment, and I'm in this teahouse. It's almost time, come and say hello and leave."

Lu Jiangjiang, who was slapped on the head by Bai Xing and became a little more serious, thought about it, and smelled something strange, and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "It's a coincidence, Fengchen lives in such a big wine shop, I didn't expect the girl inside to be so Do you like the tea house here?"

Because of his initial impression of the other party, Ji Wuyan's politeness towards Lu Jiangjiang was somewhat alienated, but he was not rude, "Maybe so, let's change it."

Ambiguous, Lu Jiangjiang did not get the answer he wanted.

I heard... the crown prince hosted a banquet here today.

After Ji Wuyan left, Lu Jiangjiang was still thinking about this matter. He didn't know whether Ji Wuyan was invited to the East Palace. The position above the hall is a bit subtle and awkward.

At first glance, the four families, Ning and Bai, are respectively in the line of the emperor and the empress. Even the declining Shangguan family was forced to leave because they offended the imperial concubine. Under such circumstances, the remaining Lu family, which has always remained neutral, is destined not to be trusted by the East Palace.

However, the royal family did not have many heirs. Judging from the current situation, this world will belong to the East Palace sooner or later.

The Lu family is inferior to Ning Bai, and the Ning family occupies half of the court and half of the rivers and lakes. No matter who rules the world in the future, the Ning family can rest easy.The Bai family has the support of the empress, even if the new emperor of the East Palace ascends the throne, for that bit of reputation in the history books, the Bai family's century-old wealth must be indispensable.

The Lu family is different. If the Lu family wants to gain a firm foothold or even go further, they must stand in the camp of the Eastern Palace.

He was still thinking about it, and he didn't know if the news he received was accurate. Bai Xing saw his absent-minded look, thinking that the other party was still thinking about Ji Wuyan, his face drooped again, and he warned, "She's not you!" If you can move, put away all your thoughts!"

It is like protecting a calf and swearing sovereignty.

Lu Jiangjiang looked at Bai Xing's expression, and suddenly broke into a smile, and slowly leaned back in the chair, "Men and women are unmarried, why can't I have those thoughts? Could it be...you like it?"

"What are you talking about!" Bai Xing raised his voice, looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, a girl will marry in the future. Grandma likes her and entrusts me to take care of her. Just treat her as a younger sister, since the Bai family has no daughters, it would be nice to have a younger sister."

"Isn't that what you mean?"

Bai Xing was sure, "Really not."

Lu Jiangjiang seemed to be relieved, and the last bit of inquiry dissipated, "Since that's the case, I won't hide it. I see this girl is very nice, and I really like it a little bit. I thought that if you cared , I suppressed that bit of liking, left and right... just a little bit. Since you don't have that kind of thought, I won't suppress it anymore. "

Without even thinking about it, Bai Xing refused, "No way!"

Lu Jiangjiang suddenly lost his temper, "Why can't it work? I have already asked you, and you said that you didn't think so, so why can't I like other girls? Bai Xing, do you really think she is you?" Is the eldest daughter of the Bai family going to be successful, and my Lu family can't make it?"

Bai Xing seemed to be a little surprised by the collision, he raised his eyes and looked at the other party seriously, there was no expression on his usual gentle face.

He said, "If it's really a girl from my Bai family who grew up surrounded by thousands of pampers, I won't stop you even if you only like a little bit. Because if you grow up in a honeypot, you You won't be able to impress her if you don't give a lot of sincerity. Besides, with my Bai family behind me, who would dare to neglect her. But Lu Jiangjiang and Ji Wuyan are different. She doesn't have enough legitimate backing behind her. Even if you are very sincere, you ...can't protect her either."

Lu Jiangjiang also poured himself a cup of tea, held the teacup to cover the corners of his mouth, and said sarcastically, "Why can't I protect you? Although my Lu family is not as prominent as your Bai family, it is still a prestigious city in Yanjing. A girl can't protect her."

Now that the conversation has come to this point, there is no need to hide it implicitly, "Mrs. Lu, let you find a tavern luthier to be your wife? Did you forget the bloody precedent of your elder brother at that time?"

Lu Mingming, the eldest son of Lu, liked a dancer in his early years, and planned to elope overnight with the dancer in order to break up with the family. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu, who was informed in advance, arrested the girl early, and in front of Young Master Lu, directly into the lake...

It can be said that young master Lu watched his beloved girl struggle to death in the lake water in winter night.Not long after that, the young master of the Lu family married the girl arranged by Mrs. Lu. It is said that the young master was bedridden on the day of the marriage, saying that he was seriously ill.

That day it was Lu Jiangjiang who replaced the bridegroom.

This is the sore spot of the Lu family, an old wound, and it is also the direct cause of the disharmony between Lu's parents and their mother.

The whole Lu family was even more tight-lipped about this matter, even though they knew it was just whitewashing the peace, they couldn't do anything about it.

Now that Bai Xing was pointing at this matter, Lu Jiangjiang's complexion changed suddenly, and he put the teacup in his hand on the table with a "snap", and the hot tea splashed on the back of his hand, and it was instantly stained crimson. But he didn't think about it at all, he just looked at Bai Xing angrily, and his voice was cold and stern, "Bai Xing, since I've come to this point, I can't say anything more, I'll leave it for today, that girl ...I want to see if I can protect it!"

After all, walk away!

Tuliu Baixing sat there with an unpredictable expression for a while, finally sighed, and left.

After all...they broke up unhappy.

……

Bai Xing and Lu Jiangjiang were on the second floor, while Bai Xing was in the private room on the third floor.

Ji Wuyan didn't know about the conversations and conflicts between the two after she left, so she went upstairs and knocked on the door, and when she entered, she saw only Baihe.

Not surprisingly, after exchanging pleasantries, I sat down and asked, "Where is Mr. Yang?"

Lily got up to make tea for her, and explained with a light smile as she leaned over, "Before Yang Lang left the door, he said that Lord Yang had something to say, and he sent a servant over to say that it was time to delay half a cup of tea. Drink a cup of tea first to relieve the heat, it’s hot outside, right?”

The scorching heat has passed, but it is still unbearably hot at noon.

Ji Wuyan nodded and said hello, and noticed that the windows here were closed tightly, and there was no wind in the whole room, it was really stuffy.
