"Qiao Yin likes me first!"
Lu Jinzhi's chest shook and he yelled at Lu Yizhi like a roar.
The look he looked at Lu Yizhi was also full of anger, as if he, Lu Yizhi, had snatched Qiao Yin away.
Seeing that Lu Jinzhi was still deceiving himself and others, Lu Yizhi didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
He wished that he would hit the south wall, or that he would be smashed to pieces and never recover!
After Lu Yizhi left, Lu Jinzhi strode out of the room without waiting for his breath to calm down.
"Zhuye, prepare the car."
Zhuye followed Lu Jinzhi and asked in panic: "Where is the prince going?"
Lu Jinzhi walked quickly and reached the gate of the Duke's Mansion in just a few words.
"Hurry and prepare the car, I'm going to Jing'an Marquis Mansion."
"Ah? The prince can't do it." Zhuye stepped forward and stopped Lu Jinzhi, "I have given orders not to let you go to Miss Qiao Er!"
Lu Jinzhi was furious. He was going to find Qiao Yin today!
He wanted to make it clear to Qiao Yin that he could apologize for what happened in the past...
Yes, he can apologize to her and she will definitely forgive him.
"Get out of the way, I have to see her today!"
Lu Jinzhi pushed aside the bamboo leaves, quickly walked out of the gate and got on the carriage.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!"
After urging all the way, the carriage finally arrived at the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Before the carriage stopped, Lu Jinzhi jumped off the carriage, ran to the door himself and knocked on the door knocker.
After the door rang a few times, a man who looked like a young boy opened the door from the inside and asked, "Who are you, sir? What do you want to do for me?"
Lu Jinzhi's face was sarcastic. This was the first time Lu Jinzhi visited the Qiao family. The servants of the Qiao family didn't recognize him at all.
"I am the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion, and I want to see Qiao Yin."
"Oh——" the boy said in a long voice, as if he suddenly realized that he recognized Lu Jinzhi.
The servant did recognize him. They had all heard about the fact that their young lady was infatuated with the prince of the Duke's mansion.
It's just that when the young lady was interested in the prince of the Duke's mansion, he didn't come. Now that someone has replaced him, why is he here?
"My eldest son, my lady has gone out. Please come back another day."
boom--
The boy immediately closed the door.
Lu Jinzhi was disappointed. For the first time in his life... he was rejected.
Lu Jinzhi looked a little unnatural, swallowed, reached out and knocked on the door again.
The door opened again, and the boy looked at him doubtfully.
"When will Qiao Yin come back? I can go in and wait for her." Lu Jinzhi said.
The boy said coldly and politely: "I don't know when my lady will come back, and I can't just let people in. You can either come back another day, or you can wait by the curb."
Zhuye chased after him from the carriage, pointed at the boy and said, "What servant, why did you reply!"
The boy snorted coldly, "I will do the same to you as you did to my young lady. What's wrong? You are only allowed to set fire to the Duke's Mansion, but we are not allowed to light the lamps in our Marquis' Mansion! Humph!"
boom--
The boy closed the door hard again!
Lu Jinzhi received a solid rejection and was even scolded by a boy, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal and could only let his face get hot.
The urge to see Qiao Yin that was originally suppressed in his chest died down instantly because of this shame.
Lu Jinzhi fled back to the carriage as if hiding.
"Go back! Go back quickly!"
As eager as he came, Lu Jinzhi urged the driver to turn around and leave quickly.
When the carriage returned to the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Lu Jinzhi got out of the car and entered in confusion.
"Where have you been?"
As soon as Lu Jinzhi entered the door, he was immediately scolded by Lu Guogong in a cold voice.
"What you are doing today is personnel affairs? Miss Yan, I asked Xiangguo to ask you to come here to help you. Do you know that the Jifang Garden incident has become a big deal and that people outside have begun to point fingers at you?"
"Also, today the prince asked for a reward for Qiao Yin, and Qiao Yin took the money from our Duke's palace to help the prince."
When Lu Guogong said this, he couldn't help but feel angry.
Thank you Yuan for your good approach!
He donated the one hundred thousand taels given by the government of his country to the court, which made Long Yan very happy.
Qiao Yin gained a good reputation, the prince's affairs were favorable and his Majesty was favored, and he also successfully won over the Qiao family.
Only the Duke's Mansion lost his wife and lost his troops.
"What money? When did the Duke's office give Qiao Yin money?"
Lu Jinzhi was still in the dark. He had no idea that the Duke's government was caught by Xie Yu'an and demanded 100,000 taels in compensation.
Lu Guogong looked stern and avoided talking. He only said: "Don't worry about it. All you need to know is that Qiao Yin has submitted to Xie Yu'an and submitted to the crown prince. She betrayed you and is no longer the same person as you. Don't think about her any more." ! Go to the Prime Minister’s Mansion now and apologize to Yan Qianjin.”
Lu Jinzhi stood still, Lu Guogong's face was solemn, and his tone had never been more serious.
"Lu Jinzhi, as the eldest son of the Duke's family, you enjoy fine clothes and fine food, and you also shoulder the important responsibility of the rise and fall of the family. You should put the overall situation first in everything, and you will not be allowed to act recklessly!"
Lu Jinzhi's head slowly dropped, and he finally replied feebly: "Yes, father, my son will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion now."
…
"Miss, did we come too early? It's not dark yet?"
A carriage stopped at the entrance to the south market in the city. Bi Zhu lifted the curtain and looked at the sunset on the horizon, and reminded her kindly.
"Hey, aren't I afraid of an accident on the road? I already missed an appointment last time, and this time I would rather arrive early than be late." Qiao Yin explained.
"We're here anyway, let's go shopping first, find a place to have something to eat and wait."
Qiao Yin pulled Bizhu out of the carriage. Although it was not dark yet, the vendors were already open and there were already many pedestrians on the street.
"There's a crock pot soup shop in front of me. I heard it tastes good. Miss, I'll treat you to some today."
Qiao Yin was familiar with the road and pulled Bizhu forward. Suddenly a young man came towards her and nodded to her when he saw her.
Qiao Yin was stunned for a moment, feeling that the person in front of him looked familiar, so he nodded in response.
"Miss Qiao."
"Hello, Miss Qiao."
"Miss Qiao, are you going to the night market alone?"
Qiao Yin walked dozens of meters and three more people greeted her.
Qiao Yin stopped and looked at Bizhu doubtfully: "These people are so strange today. They actually greeted me?"
In the past, when they saw her, they would treat her like a joke. They would either avoid her or point fingers at her. How could they treat her so kindly?
"Miss wants to know, if you can find someone to ask, you will know."
"Eh?"
Before Qiao Yin finished speaking, Bizhu had already pulled back a young master who had walked over.
"Tell me, why are you greeting my lady?" Bizhu's fierce expression made those who didn't know think he was interrogating the prisoner.
The young man's face turned pale with fright, and he said in panic: "Young lady, I have misunderstood. I admire Miss Qiao, so I greeted Miss Qiao. Miss Qiao's challenge at Yingtian Academy and Miss Qiao's generous fundraising are all admirable." I’m sorry. I have offended you a lot in the past, so please forgive me, Miss Qiao."
Until Bizhu let him go, Qiao Yin and Bizhu walked to the restaurant selling clay pot soup, still thinking about what the man said.
She felt a little weird.
She conquered Lu Jinzhi for nearly four years. Not only was she exhausted, but she also ended up with a bad reputation.
He conquered Xie Yuan for ten days without suffering any hardship, and he also gained a reputation.
What kind of unexpected surprise is this? Xie Yuan is simply the lucky star in her life!
"Miss, isn't that General Xie?" Bizhu exclaimed, pointing to the snack shop selling clay pot soup.
