Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Su Cheng's expression turned cold, and he looked at Lu Wan with deep eyes: "Since you have such a special relationship with Prince Xu's Mansion, how could I know that you didn't follow me on purpose, reveal my whereabouts to Prince Xu, or collude with Prince Xu to fake it?" The news was passed to me, leading the prince into a trap."

Lu Wan's face changed slightly: "You actually doubt me? Su Cheng, my Lu family is considered a big family in the capital. If I wanted to frame the prince, I would not have saved General Xiao and his wife that day. The prince and concubine believed it. Me, why do you doubt me?"

"Why do you think I should trust you?" Su Cheng's voice was calm, but Lu Wan still heard the sarcasm in his words.

Lu Wan's heart welled up with unknown anger. She didn't know Su Cheng before, but after so many days, she had inquired about his preferences and temperament openly and secretly, and she had some understanding. This man traveled all over the world and never used Su Ying's banner outside. When it comes to doing business, he naturally has his own style.

To do business, one must not only be shrewd, but also be good at observing people's opinions and not trust others easily.

Perhaps these days, his closeness, intentionally or unintentionally, violated his bottom line and made him doubt himself.

But today, regardless of her own danger, she opened her mouth to help him, which made him even more suspicious.

How can I completely dispel her suspicions?

Lu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why, are you afraid? Or is it because of my contact these days that Mr. Su looks at me differently? Mr. Su is a businessman, and what he is best at is detecting people's hearts. I feel like I’ve met my opponent, and I don’t even have the courage to gamble?”

Su Cheng thought about her words and hesitated to speak.

His face was calm, but Lu Wan could still see the tangle in his heart from his slightly clenched hands.

Lu Wan couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but if he continued to doubt her, the worst they could do was part ways in Pingcheng. Why would she have to force herself to cater to this man? She would use her actions to let him know that she, Lu Wan, had always been She is a person who speaks the truth. Even though she is a woman, she can still distinguish between good and evil. Even if she is her best friend, she will never watch them stir up trouble for no reason in the already peaceful and prosperous age.

The next moment, Su Cheng asked her in a calm voice: "How good is your relationship with Princess Xu? So what does Prince Xu think of your relationship?"

Lu Wan replied calmly: "There are only two brothers in my family and no sisters. She and I have a sisterly affection and talk about everything. Back then, Concubine Chen chose a wife for her son and summoned her into the palace. She had a gentle temperament. , King Xu fell in love with her at first sight. After she got married, he invited me into his palace many times. King Xu treated people gently, and the two of them were a sweet couple. Every time I went to see her, she always showed sweetness on her face. King Xu knew that she and I were friends. My close friend, during her pregnancy, often asked me to go to the palace to accompany her to relieve her boredom."

Su Cheng's expression changed slightly: "After you lost contact with her, did you write a letter to King Xu to verify whether she had any other abnormalities?"

Lu Wan nodded and said, "I wrote once, but I didn't receive a reply."

After saying that, Lu Wan suddenly remembered something and his expression changed.

Naturally, these subtle movements on her face were not hidden from Su Cheng. Su Cheng glanced at her and asked, "What did you think of?"

Lu Wan raised her eyes and looked at him: "Nothing!"

Su Cheng's expression darkened. He knew that Lu Wan was hiding something from her, but she didn't want to tell him what he could do to her?

Lu Wan also knew in her heart that he had doubts about her, but she didn't dare to say that. Her eldest brother had said before that King Xu intended to win over the Lu family, but the Lu family only wanted to do business and did not want to participate in anything. The fight between princes.

The ancestors of the Lu family started from scratch, but it was only in Lu Xuan's generation that things gradually improved. The battle for the throne has always been cruel. If you win the bet, you will naturally rise to the top, but if you lose, you will be doomed.

This is why she secretly followed Su Cheng to Yucheng without telling her brothers. If her family knew about it, they would definitely not agree to her coming, but she was really worried about Yan'er. Of course, she sincerely wanted to help Su Cheng. .

Su Chengcheng was already suspicious of her now, and she couldn't tell Prince Xu about wooing the Lu family.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire carriage became cold, and the two of them were relatively speechless.

Su Cheng closed her eyes to rest, and Lu Wan relaxed. She got up early in the morning and didn't bother to eat. It was almost noon, and after spending so much time dealing with Su Cheng, she just felt hungry.

She glanced at Qiao'er who was standing aside. Qiao'er took the baggage beside her and opened it to find some dry food to eat. However, the cakes inside had already become crumbs when they fell off the carriage, making them inedible.

Su Cheng heard the movement in the carriage and looked up, just in time to see Lu Wan frowning at the pile of pastry crumbs.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out a food box from the compartment of the carriage, and placed the pastries inside one by one.

Lu Wan looked at the pastries and her stomach growled twice at an inappropriate time.

Su Cheng said calmly: "This place is still some distance from Pingcheng. Miss Lu, why don't you eat some pastries to fill your stomach first?"

Lu Wan replied sharply: "Okay! Thank you Mr. Su."

Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, Su Cheng thought she was really hungry, so he poured a cup of steaming tea and handed it to her.

Lu Wan took it with a smile, completely forgetting the tense conversation between the two just now.

The two of them lived in peace along the way, and finally entered Pingcheng before the city gate closed.

The Lu family also has a store in Pingcheng. After entering the city, Su Cheng said to Lu Wan: "Miss Lu, I have sent you safely to Pingcheng. As for whether you want to return to Beijing or continue to Yucheng, please think about it carefully, Miss Lu."

This meant that he had kicked her off the bus and had to part ways with her for the rest of the way. It seemed that Su Cheng still didn't trust her.

Lu Wan didn't force herself, so she turned around and left without saying a word.

Awang looked at their leaving figures and hesitated to speak.

Su Cheng said calmly: "When did you learn to be so hesitant?"

Awang asked in a low voice: "Why did the young master reject Miss Lu's proposal? If we can get her help, it will be much easier for us to inquire about the information."

Su Cheng snorted coldly and said: "How do you know whether the news she inquired about is true or false? She was clearly hiding something just now. The Lu family made their fortune in the horse business. If King Xu takes action, he will definitely win over him. The Lu family, since she is from the Lu family, it is impossible for her to know anything about this matter, but she didn’t mention it at all just now.”

Awang asked in surprise: "Does Miss Lu's kindness to the young master these days be intentional?"

Su Cheng thought for a moment and said: "Why do you think I was cold to her? The situation is unknown now. If I send back false news, wouldn't it push the prince into the abyss? To be on the safe side, it's better to part ways with her, and the same goes for you." , if you reveal my whereabouts to others at will, I will not spare you!"

Awang panicked and quickly admitted his mistake: "I know my mistake and I won't dare to do it again!"

Before dawn the next day, Su Cheng abandoned the carriage and rode towards Yucheng with his men. For the sake of safety, he deliberately took out the human skin mask Su Ying gave him, and several people changed their faces.

After getting up early in the morning, Lu Wan went to the inn to look for Su Cheng. Su Cheng's carriage stopped at the inn, but the person was missing. Lu Wan knew that he must have hidden something from him, so he deliberately did not take her with him.

Lu Wan was stubborn and refused to let her go, but she insisted on going. She also had two fast horses prepared and led a few people towards Yucheng.

But along the way, Su Cheng was not found. She was riding a horse at a slow speed, but where was Su Cheng.

How did she know that Su Cheng had changed his appearance? They had passed each other several times.
