After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 271 It turns out that he is such a useless man

Mo Kan smiled awkwardly at Lu Jiangnian and the others: "I'm sorry, my cousin is spoiled at home, she didn't mean any harm."

However, Hua Siyue did not give him this face.

She struggled to tear Mo Kan's hand away, "Mo Kan, you're looking for death. Why do you care about me? I'm the Gu Sect..."

Mo Kan's face was originally smiling, but now it turned cold.

He reached out and pressed Hua Siyue's acupuncture points, leaving her speechless. Ignoring her fiery eyes, he restrained her and pushed her to a servant beside him: "Keep an eye on you, cousin."

Then he bowed to Lu Jiangnian and said, "I'm sorry for the offense. It's fate that we are fortunate enough to meet here today."

"The weather is bad, so I'd like to ask you to be kind enough to give us a room. I'd be very grateful."

Lu Jiangnian nodded towards Mo Kan, his tone indifferent, "Since you are quite humble, I can give you a room."

"That ingot of gold will be used as rent."

That's a five-liang gold ingot, enough to buy this inn.

Previously, Hua Siyue planned to book the inn, so the previous guests would need to pay a small amount of apology, so he had to be generous in order to impress the innkeeper with gold.

Now Lu Jiangnian only gave up one guest room and wanted to accept five taels of gold, which was asking for too much.

But Mo Kan seemed to be unaware of the market situation and nodded hurriedly, as if he had picked up a great bargain: "Thank you."

Hua Siyue was unwilling and was carried to the room by Mo Kan. Lu Jiangnian, Yuan Wanru, and Su Shaodong returned to the room for a secret talk.

"These people are from the Gu Sect."

The woman's shout was so clear that they all heard it.

Lu Jiangnian said, "Xuanqing and the others went to inquire about it. They are planning to go south to Southern Xinjiang. It seems they are going back to Gu Sect."

Su Shaodong frowned: "In other words, we are likely to go the same way as these two people?"

Su Shaodong felt disgusted when he thought of that annoying woman.

Yuan Wanru said calmly: "It seems that this is most likely the case."

"However, this might be a good thing. Someone who can remove the Gu Sect in advance might be able to get some information."

Lu Jiangnian agreed with her, "Then we need to design some reasonable identities so as not to arouse their suspicion."

Su Shaodong suddenly became interested: "I have an idea. My little beauty and I are husband and wife. Let's go to southern Xinjiang together to find my father."

After saying this, he looked at Yuan Wanru with hope, hoping to get her support.

"Bad idea."

Yuan Wanru made a direct comment, and Lu Jiangnian sneered: "Do you think that husband and wife are just talk?"

"When the time comes, let me watch you and her go in and out together?"

"Do you dislike her good reputation, or do you think I'm a dead person?"

Su Shaodong touched his nose and said nothing more.

It's a bad idea to speak without thinking. The Lu family is all watching.

Even if it was fake, in the eyes of these people, the little beauty might indeed be burdened with a bad reputation.

Lu Jiangnian said, "You pretend to be the eldest brother of the Yuan family. Your surname is Su, and mine is Jiang. You will accompany your wife and brother-in-law to visit your father-in-law in southern Xinjiang."

This excuse is much more reasonable.

Su Shaodong glared at Lu Jiangnian somewhat unwillingly.

Along the way, he had noticed that Lu Jiangnian and the little beauty did not live in the same room.

Now that he has the excuse of putting on a show, doesn’t that mean Mr. Lu will have to live with the little beauty?

"I think it would be better if the three of us brothers and sisters go visit dad together."

Lu Jiangnian refuted him neither lightly nor seriously: "Three brothers and sisters, they don't look alike at all?"

"Also, when they entered earlier, Shi Ying addressed Yuan Shi as 'Madam' and asked her to go upstairs and rest."

"That man named Mo Kan is not easy to fool. If Yuan Shi becomes my sister, wouldn't that be contradictory and arouse suspicion?"

Su Shaodong thought about it for a moment, but couldn't recall whether Shi Ying had addressed the little beauty as "Madam" when the Gu Sect's people entered. He could only look at Yuan Wanru gloomily: "Little beauty, what do you think?"

"It's true that the three of us don't look alike. To avoid unnecessary complications, let's just follow Lu Jiangnian's idea. He and I are husband and wife, and you are my eldest brother."

After saying that, she called out to Su Shaodong sweetly, "Brother."

When Su Shaodong first heard her clear and loud "Big Brother", he felt happy in his heart.

Then, a premonition arose in my heart that perhaps in this life, I could only be her elder brother.

-

According to Lu Jiangnian's idea, everything must be done thoroughly, so he stayed in Yuan Wanru's room that night.

They were husband and wife, so it was not difficult for Yuan Wanru to accept the fact that they were staying in the same room.

The one who was hesitant was Lu Jiangnian.

Shili Town is not very prosperous, and the only inn is of course very simply decorated. There is only a bed in the room, and no couch or anything like that.

It snowed today and the weather is very cold. We can't let him sleep on the ground.

Yuan Wanru took off her coat, got on the bed first, lifted the quilt and lay down.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Jiangnian who was sitting at the table: "You've already drunk two pots of tea, and you still want more?"

Lu Jiangnian's back was stiff, and sweat appeared on his palms. "I won't drink another one."

Although the person lying on the bed was his wife, he did not remember anything that happened between them.

Suddenly he was about to share the same bed with her, and he felt completely off.

That bed now looked like a forbidden place to him, and he didn't even dare to look at it.

"Whatever, I'm going to sleep."

If he doesn't want to sleep, he can sit all night.

After saying that, she turned over, said nothing more, closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.

Time passed slowly, the snowy night deepened, and everything was silent.

The teacup in front of Lu Jiangnian had long been empty, but he still sat quietly at the table. All the sounds in the world seemed to have disappeared, and there was only a shallow breath in his ears.

He knew that Yuan Wanru had fallen asleep.

Lu Jiang stood up quietly and saw her black hair falling on the pillow in the dim light.

Standing beside the bed, looking at the sleeping woman for a long time without saying a word, Lu Jiangnian smiled bitterly, feeling relieved.

Finally, he sat on the bed and reached out his hand to touch the black hair.

Along the way, she saw Su Shaodong chatting and laughing with her, talking about medicinal materials and pharmacology. The two like-minded people never ran out of topics.

As for her and him, they spoke less than ten sentences to each other all day long.

This woman was completely different from the woman he knew.

She had no intention of clinging to him, and even when faced with the drastic change in her husband's memory after being poisoned, she never showed weakness or became depressed.

In past memories, Yuan Wanru, who was fostered in the Lu family, was silent, weak in character, and not good at socializing.

After being poisoned, he couldn't imagine that he would like a woman like this.

So, he still maintained a condescending attitude, waiting for her to show her attention.

In the end, he was the one who suffered most.

"Yuan Wanru, you said I was so persistent before, but I never wanted to admit it. I don't believe that a man like me, Lu Jiangnian, would be so useless just to ask for a woman."

Afraid of waking her, his voice was very soft.

"It turns out that I'm really so useless."

After saying this, he smiled, and his expression was very similar to Lu Jiangnian before he was poisoned.

"You are not allowed to like anyone else, you can only like me."
