Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 125: Drunk – Shanghai Fantasy

8-10 minutes

Everyone’s expression was very subtle.

Especially Lu Lin. No matter how pleasing the future son-in-law was, he didn’t want his daughter to be taken advantage of before getting married… Wait, it didn’t seem right to say that.

Looking at the way his daughter stared at his future son-in-law, it seemed like his daughter had some bad intentions!

When Lu Mingyu saw his father’s meaningful eyes, she knew that her intentions were wrong. She did have other plans, but it was not the same as what her father was thinking of.

Lu Mingyu turned a blind eye to everyone’s subtle gazes and opened her mouth to order her soldiers to carry away the drunken Second Prince. Then, she stood up and said, “I’ll take care of His Highness, you guys continue to drink.”

Just left so openly and frankly!

Lu Lin twitched the corner of his mouth.

The eldest jiěfū[1]elder sister’s husband Zhèng Zhòng gave his qīmèi[2]wife’s younger sister a thumbs up in his heart, she was really a hero among women!

Lu Mingfang cleared her throat and said, “Your Highness is drunk, and he needs someone to take care of him. The fourth sister is His Highness’s fiancée, and she will get married in half a year. If you are a little more intimate now, no one will talk too much, so Foster Father doesn’t have to worry about it.”

Anyway, the marriage was settled, so you don’t have to worry too much about your boudoir’s reputation.

Lu Fei smiled and answered the question: “Yes, what Eldest Sister said is correct. Besides, His Highness was so drunk that he passed out, so I don’t think he would be rude to Fourth Sister.”

What do you know?

I’m not worried about my future son-in-law, but I’m worried that your fourth sister won’t be able to control her intention at present!

Lu Lin murmured in his heart, but it was inconvenient to say such words.

Lu Xuan was the youngest, the smartest, and the best at observing words and expressions. He lowered his voice and laughed, “Father, from my point of view, Fourth Sister seems to have something to ask His Highness, and it was inconvenient to ask about it in front of us. This is why she took His Highness away.”

As expected of the youngest and most capable servant of the Ministry of Justice in a few years. He had a first-class ability to figure out people’s hearts, and he guessed right.

Lu Lin was comforted by his sons and daughters in turn, and he felt a lot relieved: “You guys are right. Forget it, let’s continue drinking.”

……

Li Jing was carried into the guest room in Lu Mingyu’s courtyard.

The two bodyguards were both in their forties, robust, and possessing considerable strength. One of them had a deep scar on his face, while the other was missing his right ear. In the eyes of outsiders, they appeared as fierce and intimidating strong men.

However, to Lu Mingyu, they were the most loyal and reliable people she had. She gave an order, not to mention asking them to carry the drunken Second Prince, even if they were asked to kill the Second Prince with a knife, they would not be afraid.

The soldiers put Li Jing on the bed, then each of them grinned at Lu Mingyu and retreated. They also closed the door very considerately.

Lu Mingyu: “…”

That’s all, let them think what they want.

Lu Mingyu settled down, walked to the side of the bed, and sat down.

Li Jing closed his eyes and slept soundly. It was only at this moment that a faint blush appeared on his handsome face, and the smell of alcohol wafted from his body.

Li Jing, how many secrets are you hiding?

Lu Mingyu silently stared at the drunk young man.

Telling the truth when drunk. This was a rare and good opportunity, she should wake him up now, and ask him about the inside story while he is drunk.

That was what she had planned to do.

However, at this moment, for some reason, she suddenly didn’t want to wake him up.

Time passed imperceptibly.

Maybe it was because Li Jing slept too soundly, or maybe it was because the fruit wine she drank at noon got on her head, Lu Mingyu actually felt a little drowsy.

She leaned back on the chair and fell asleep in a daze.

She didn’t know how long she slept.

A hand stroked her cheek lightly.

The slight touch was like a butterfly touching the stamen lightly.

Lu Mingyu woke up and opened her eyes suddenly. Facing her, was a pair of bright and smiling black eyes.

Li Jing withdrew his hand calmly and said with a smile: “I don’t drink well. I drank too much at noon. I don’t know if I lost my composure.”

That was it!

Li Jing, once he fell into a deep drunken sleep, woke up completely sober without any signs of intoxication. How could she try to coax anything out of him in this state? It seemed like a missed opportunity, wasting a good chance.

Lu Mingyu felt a little annoyed, so she got up first and stretched her arms and legs a little.

Seeing outside from the window, it should be almost evening.

Lu Mingyu said: “After you were drunk, you opened your mouth and said that you liked me a long time ago. Then you lay down on the table and fell asleep. I asked someone to carry you into my yard. I originally wanted to take advantage of your drunkenness.”

Li Jing glanced at Lu Mingyu: “Why didn’t you ask?”

Yes, why didn’t she ask?

Was it because she always felt guilty towards him? Or was it because of her inexplicable soft-heartedness that she didn’t want to wake him up when he was drunk?

Lu Mingyu didn’t want to think deeply, suppressed her chaotic thoughts, raised her eyebrows, and asked, “Will you tell me if I ask you?”

Li Jing replied honestly: “No.”

Lu Mingyu: “…”

Lu Mingyu’s expression changed faster than flipping through a book. “It’s getting late, and you should return to the palace. I won’t accompany you any further!” she said curtly, refusing to see him off.

Li Jing laughed: “Xiaoyu, you can change your face so fast. It’s not good for your fiancee to be like this!”

Lu Mingyu snorted, pushed open the door, and made a gesture of Please come out.

Li Jing had no choice but to go out. When he walked to Lu Mingyu’s side, he said in a low voice: “I didn’t lie to you, what I said is true.”

Lu Mingyu was unmoved at all: “Oh, I see.”

Li Jing: “… “

Now that he thought about it, there was some reason why the Fourth Prince was willing to marry Zhao Yu. A stupid girl with a shallow mind and easy to coax, a few words can coax her away.

In comparison, Lu Mingyu can be described as cold as iron.

His tenderness made his nose bruised and his face swollen!

Li Jing smiled helplessly: “I’m going back to the palace first. I’ll come and see you later when I’m free.”

Lu Mingyu hummed casually, but she didn’t come out to see him off.

Li Jing touched his nose and had no choice but to bid farewell to his future father-in-law. Lu Lin’s eyes flicked on Li Jing’s face: “Your Highness, sobered up!”

Li Jing replied with a smile, “I’m letting my father-in-law worry about it. I rarely drink alcohol, and I don’t drink much. But, when I’m sober, people say I’m completely awake and fine.”

Looking at his expression, there was indeed nothing unusual.

The clothes were also neat.

Lu Lin’s thoughts quickly shifted, and he smiled as he saw Li Jing off from the residence. Lu Fei and the others also accompanied them. Others will never know about the half-day that Li Jing and Lu Mingyu spent alone together, and they wouldn’t go to Lu Mingyu and offer their opinions.

Lu Xuan was the naughtiest and most curious, and sneaked into Lu Mingyu’s yard quietly: “Fourth Sister, when Your Highness left, why didn’t you go and see him off?”

A pair of bony eyes turned around on Lu Mingyu’s face.

Lu Mingyu felt both annoyed and amused, and she casually patted Lu Xuan’s head. “If I want to see someone off, I will. If I don’t feel like it, I won’t. There’s no particular reason,” she said, unapologetically.

As Lu Xuan rubbed his head, he muttered, “I thought Fourth Sister did something that made her feel guilty and afraid to face our future brother-in-law!”

Lu Mingyu: “…”
