Chapter 39: She's Still Hiding It
Luo Yutuo was thinking about Jiang Qianqian's affairs all the time, and wanted to go back to see what she was doing at the moment. It was only halfway through the meeting that he made an excuse that he wanted to leave first.
"Brother Yutuo, is this something urgent?" The friend asked with concern.
"I'm so sorry, I'm ......"
Luo Yutuo looked at his friend with an apologetic face, and the friend expressed understanding. He apologized again before turning to leave.
After going out, he got into his own carriage and told the coachman to go back to the prime minister's house. The dull space on the carriage made Luo Yutuo feel bored, so he reached out and gently lifted the curtain to look outside.
The endless crowd on the street made Luo Yutuo look a little stunned, and suddenly he saw Jiang Qianqian's shadow, and shouted for the groom to stop the carriage quickly.
When Luo Yutuo looked over again after the carriage stopped, Jiang Qianqian was still standing in front of Qing Lingzhai and talking to the shopkeeper, what they said Luo Yutuo didn't hear, but Jiang Qianqian's face didn't seem to be very happy.
He remembered the scene when he saw Jiang Qianqian just now, when she was still talking and laughing with Ling Haochen.
watched silently for a long time, until Jiang Qianqian walked into Qing Lingzhai with the shopkeeper after speaking, and then he ordered the coachman to drive back home.
Luo Yutuo was not in the mood to review the book, but went to the house to prepare to wait for Jiang Qianqian to come back. What happened before was still lingering in his mind, and he wanted to question the truth of what Jiang Qianqian said.
Luo Yutuo didn't understand why he couldn't control his anger whenever he encountered something related to Jiang Qianqian, but fortunately he knew how to control it, not to mention that he didn't want to lose his temper with her.
At this time, a woman with a graceful figure walked in with a plate of pastries and came to Luo Yutuo. She put the pastry next to Luo Yutuo and said charmingly: "Young master, eat some pastries." The slave family knows that you are waiting for the young lady, but she doesn't know how long it will take for her to come back! ”
Luo Yutuo glanced up, and he seemed to see Jiang Qianqian standing in front of him with a smile on her face. But he knew that it was impossible, at least when facing him, Jiang Qianqian had never smiled. Even when the two got along, Jiang Qianqian had always been decent and had never exceeded it.
"Young master, the slave family has been pleasing to you for a long time." Seeing that Luo Yutuo didn't speak, the woman became even bolder. She reached out and touched Luo Yutuo's cheek: "If the young master can leave the slave family to serve by his side, then the slave family will definitely serve you well!" ”
"Shame on you!"
The woman's voice pulled Luo Yutuo's thoughts back, and when he found that the person standing in front of him was really not Jiang Qianqian, he raised his hand and slapped her: "Come on, drag this cheap maid who seduces the master out and beat her to death!" Luo Yutuo himself was angry because of Jiang Qianqian's matter, and now he vented all his anger on this woman.
The woman was shocked, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. Interestingly, he changed his self-proclaimed name back to 'slave maid', how could he still look like he was wandering just now: "Young master, let go of the slave and maid, the slave and maid didn't mean it, the slave and the maid really love you." ”
Luo Yutuo ignored the woman's pleading, and watched indifferently as the guards dragged the woman out and was unmoved.
He didn't know how long he had been waiting, and he saw that the sky had darkened, but Jiang Qianqian still didn't come back.
(b)
There was a sound of footsteps outside that made Luo Yutuo sit up straight, but when he saw that the person who came was from the house, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
"Young Master, dinner is ready!"
Luo Yutuo didn't pay attention to him, and his subordinates didn't dare to leave without permission. He saw Luo Yutuo's gloomy face, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb. Just when he couldn't advance or retreat, footsteps came from outside the door again, this time Jiang Qianqian came back.
"Didn't you go to a party? Why did you come back so early? After Jiang Qianqian entered the door, she saw Luo Yutuo sitting on a chair, and she was very surprised.
During this time, in order to prepare for the exam, Luo Yutuo read in the study every day and would not go back to sleep until late. Seeing that Luo Yutuo was silent, she asked again, "Is something wrong?" ”
"Nothing happened, you're too worried."
"Have you had dinner then?" Luo Yutuo's voice and intonation were no different from usual, although Jiang Qianqian felt very strange, but he didn't know what was strange.
"Young master, he ......"
"I've already eaten."
When the subordinate was about to tell the truth, he was interrupted by Luo Yutuo. He glanced at the two of them strangely, and was about to say something more, when he was interrupted again by Luo Yutuo: "You go down first." He didn't want anyone to disturb them at this time, and seeing that this person was almost bad, he took them away.
After receiving Luo Yutuo's orders, the subordinates glanced at Jiang Qianqian worriedly, and then turned around and left.
"What did you do today, where did you go, and who did you meet?" Originally, Luo Yutuo thought that if Jiang Qianqian took the initiative to admit all this, he might still forgive her.
But looking at Jiang Qianqian's appearance of not knowing what was going on, Luo Yutuo was angry: "You'd better explain it honestly!" ”
Hearing Luo Yutuo ask this, Jiang Qianqian was a little weak-hearted, and subconsciously concealed that she had met Ling Haochen. Just said something inconsequential: "I just went to the major stores to have a look, and then went to Qixiang to check the perfume and rouge spices." ”
"Don't talk about it!"
What Jiang Qianqian said was obviously inconsistent with the facts, and Luo Yutuo didn't bother to listen to it. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and his eyes stared at Jiang Qianqian, as if he wanted to see her through.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" In such a depressing atmosphere, Jiang Qianqian only felt that she was about to be unable to hold on.
Although Jiang Qianqian felt that her meeting with Ling Haochen was not a big deal, this subconscious act of concealing it made Luo Yutuo's heart have a pimple: "Think about it, did you say something wrong?" Today, I saw you and the prince talking and laughing together. ”
"I'm afraid you'll misunderstand, but we're just talking about business." Spread out the words, Jiang Qianqian understood that Luo Yutuo was jealous, and she was a little helpless about this, but she still explained: "I can only make a decision after discussing most things with the prince, after all, Qixiang is not mine alone." ”。
"Of course I know that, I mean you don't have to be so private in your relationship, right? Do you know the consequences of being spread around? Luo Yutuo didn't say what he heard at the meeting, and finally converted it into a sentence: "You don't have to meet to discuss things, it's the same to send someone to pass the word to the past." ”
