After walking for a while, the prince couldn't bear it anymore.

"Uncle, this is the first time I see you protecting someone like this."

He was now extremely curious about the second Miss Lu from the country.

Prince Jin paused.

How could the person who could save his life (and had already saved it once) be someone else? Although he was not a good person, he was not so heartless.

Besides, he found the girl very interesting, much more interesting than those noble ladies who looked serious.

Seeing that he did not answer, the prince asked again, "Did Miss Lu really stay in the countryside for ten years?"

"Ah."

"Won't she be afraid of the emperor's uncle?"

The prince was extremely curious. How could someone agree to get engaged to the emperor's uncle as soon as they met?

Could it be that he was attracted by the emperor's uncle's face?

King Jin glanced at him and said, "Why, do you think I am not the kind of person who can make thousands of girls fall in love with me at first sight and marry me?"

The prince couldn't help but look at his uncle.

How come it doesn't look like that?

"Uncle's appearance is naturally as bright as the stars and the moon, which makes people admire him. However," the prince smiled, "Uncle's temperament is cold and arrogant, and he is serious. Xiao Si and Xiao Qi have been afraid of you since they were young. And those cousins ​​are like mice seeing a cat when they see you..."

"Ok?"

“That’s the analogy.”

The prince spoke too freely at once, and seeing his eyebrows raised, he quickly retracted his words, "When they were young, those girls who were attracted by your appearance ran away after talking to you for a few more words. You can't deny that everyone is afraid of you, especially those girls."

Prince Jin was exceptionally good-looking since he was young.

When he was a child, he attracted many girls, but no one could really get close to him because they would be scared away.

Therefore, Prince Jin never liked those girls, always thinking they were timid, unfun and boring.

"So, uncle, is the second Miss Lu so obsessed with your appearance?" the prince asked again.

Are you so obsessed that you are no longer afraid of the emperor's uncle's temper?

The image of Lu Zhaoling approaching and ripping open his collar flashed in Prince Jin's mind.

He just felt his chest getting hot, and his tone became a little ambiguous.

"No, she is just extremely bold," he said.

The prince was stunned.

Is Miss Lu Er so bold?

Lu Ming went home with a lot of anger, and he couldn't help it, so he went straight to Tingnuanlou.

It's not dark yet, and the gate of Tingnuan Building is closed.

He started banging on the door.

"Lu Zhaoling!"

Qingyin heard the sound and came to open the door. As soon as the door opened, she saw Lord Lu with flaming eyes.

"Why close the door in broad daylight?"

Lu Ming pushed her away and strode into the yard.

As soon as he came in, he instantly felt his anger subside a little, and instead he smelled the elegant fragrance of flowers?

Lu Ming was a little stunned. Why would he pay attention to the scent of flowers when he was so angry?

Looking at the yard again, it still looks the same as before, but for some reason it looks much more pleasing to the eye, and every detail seems elegant.

At this moment, Lu Ming felt a little regretful for giving Tingnuanlou to Lu Zhaoling, and felt distressed.

"Where's your lady?"

She heard his voice but didn't come out to greet him.

This guy who was brought up in the countryside really has no manners!

Lu Zhaoling's voice came out, "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out.

Lu Ming could see her face clearly in the afternoon sunlight.

In just a few short days, Lu Zhaoling's face was not as thin as before, and it was even noticeably whiter and had a rosy complexion.

The redness and swelling on her forehead had completely disappeared, leaving only a faint mark, and it looked like she was almost healed.

She was also wearing new clothes, which were fitted and elegant, completely different from the miserable look she had on the first day she came back.

Lu Ming had to admit that she was born with a good appearance!

If we raise it any further, we don’t know what it will look like.

Could it be that Prince Jin is a superficial person and is just attracted by Lu Zhaoling's face?

"Lord Lu, do you have anything to give me?" Lu Zhaoling raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Ming.

She discovered that there was a scent of talisman on Lu Ming.

He had originally been plagued by some bad luck, but now there was a magical energy in his chest that was slowly dispelling the bad luck.

"I just gave you three hundred taels the day before yesterday!" Lu Ming was furious again. "You are a girl and you don't have to do anything. What are you doing with so much silver in your hands?"

"Why do you care what I do? What? You gave it to me and now I want it back?" Lu Zhaoling walked out, her eyes falling on the green rope exposed around his neck.

It looked like he was wearing something.

Lu Ming took a deep breath and changed the subject.

"Now everyone knows that you have been granted marriage to the King of Jin. When you go out in the future, others will see you as the King of Jin's fiancée. Therefore, you must always remember that you represent the reputation of the King of Jin and the Lu family. You must be careful in what you say and do, behave politely, and speak generously..."

Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhaoling sneered.

"How dare you put your Lu family and King Jin side by side? How can the reputation of your Lu family be compared with that of King Jin?"

"Don't forget, you are also a member of the Lu family!"

"Oh..." Lu Zhaoling stretched out the words, "My Lu may not be your Lord Lu's Lu."

Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that this damn girl knew something? Impossible!

"Zhao Ling," he said calmly, "Father knows that you may have some misunderstandings..."

"Misunderstanding? Now this Madam Lu is my biological mother?"

No one would believe the way Mrs. Lu treated her.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth, "Yes! Your mother is her sister..."

"We are cousins ​​even though we are thousands of miles apart. Don't talk like we are so close." Lu Zhaoling interrupted him again.

She had said before that the current Mrs. Lu was said to have originally come to the Lu family to seek refuge with her cousin. It turned out that Mrs. Lu was kind-hearted and unexpectedly took in such a cousin but gave away her own husband.

My cousin climbed into the bed of my cousin's husband and even got pregnant in the same year as my cousin.

However, after the cousin gave birth to a child, no one knew what happened and she left the Lu family and her whereabouts were unknown. Lu Ming took the opportunity to let his cousin take her place and become Mrs. Lu, and even erased all traces of the former wife's existence.

They were all in the countryside at that time.

Lu Ming's family deliberately concealed the truth, and no one knew the inside story when they arrived in the capital, so now Mrs. Lu openly regards herself as the original wife.

Lu Zhaoling, the eldest daughter of the original wife, was manipulated by them and directly changed to the second lady.

This is also the reason why Lu Zhaoyun lied about being one year older.

"Did you listen to your grandmother's nonsense?"

Perhaps one or two people in his hometown in the countryside knew about these things. Lu Ming had never taken it seriously before, but he did not expect that Lu Zhaoling would know about it.

He guessed that his mother might have let the secret slip over the years.

Lu Zhaoling didn't answer.

Lu Ming said angrily again, "Even if she is not your biological mother, she is still your aunt. We are related by blood to some extent. What's wrong with her being your mother? Besides, I am still your biological father!"
