Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 67

By this time, the evening had come, and the sky showed all the colours of sunset.

The Second Prince with a long body and a suave, elegant appearance looked particularly handsome in the sunset and was also quite unbeatable.

Lu Mingyu couldn’t bear it anymore, turned her head and said to Shen Lan: “Sister Shen, you go back, I have something to say to His Royal Highness the Second Prince alone.”

Shen Lan thought for a while, and whispered: “You must hold back, don’t beat people.”

The sound was not too loud, and it just drifted into the ears of the Second Prince.

Second Prince: “…”

Lu Mingyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry; so simply nodded in response.

Shen Lan led the guards and maids into the courtyard.

Without any instructions, all the personal soldiers quietly dispersed. Only Lu Mingyu and the Second Prince stood facing each other. There was also the loyal Qiyun and the inner servant Xiao Yuan.

Lu Mingyu said expressionlessly: “Your Highness, take a step to speak.” After speaking, she walked to the path between the mountains and forests.

The Second Prince followed in a hurry.

Qiyun and Xiao Yuan looked at each other and followed their masters. They stopped a few meters away.

Lu Mingyu stopped, turned around, and looked at the Second Prince.

The Second Prince’s expression was magnanimous, and Lu Mingyu’s gaze was lingering.

“Li Jing!” Lu Mingyu’s voice was solemn: “I did betray you before. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, this demand is only natural.”

“You asked me to repay the debt with my own body. The previous debt will be written off as long as I marry you. I have already agreed with you and will consider it carefully. Why do you keep appearing in front of me?”

Do you know how bad it feels to be accosted by creditors!

This last sentence, Lu Mingyu didn’t say out, but it could be seen in her eyes clearly.

The Second Prince looked at Lu Mingyu, who was full of anger, and raised his mouth: “Lu Mingyu, do you think that I am trying my best to remind you that you still owe me a life?”

Lu Mingyu snorted softly: “Isn’t it?”

The Second Prince’s eyes flashed complex light, stared at Lu Mingyu, and did not speak for a long time.

Like a dense and moist drizzle, it quietly quenched the anger in Lu Mingyu’s heart.

Lu Mingyu felt a strange feeling in her heart.

She is not an ignorant girl who doesn’t understand love affairs.

In her previous life, she had loved Li Hao with all her heart and had a very loving time with Li Hao. She knows what a man looks like when he stares at the girl he loves…

The air seemed to suddenly stop flowing.

Lu Mingyu didn’t want to look at the Second Prince again and took the lead to look away.

The eyes of the Second Prince were still fixed on the girl in front of him. Looking at her beautiful and heroic face, looking at her black eyebrows and rosy lips, looking at the thin fluff on her white face…

“Don’t look at me like that.” Lu Mingyu glared at him fiercely, with a bit of sarcasm: “Look again, be careful I’ll beat you.”

The Second Prince smiled silently and nodded obediently: “Okay, I won’t look at you anymore.”

Even after saying so, he still looked at her, eyebrows and eyes stretched, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.

It was she who killed him.

How could he still stare at her with such a heartless brow and a smile?

Lu Mingyu was silent for a moment, then whispered: “Li Jing, I’m sorry for you.”

The Second Prince stared deeply at Lu Mingyu.

He knew that she was an upright woman. Hot as fire, dare to love and hate.

She will not deny what she has done.

“Yes, you are indeed sorry for me.” The Second Prince answered with a serious face: “So, you must repay this debt.”

Lu Mingyu sighed: “I still don’t know how many secrets you have. You are very familiar with me. What I have done, I will not deny it. I will pay you back.”

She paused for a moment, then raised her eyes, and her eyes became brighter and sharper: “However, there is a grievance and a debt. If there is anything, just come at me. Don’t involve the Lu family.”

The Second Prince nodded without hesitation: “Of course.”

Lu Mingyu said again: “After you go back, you can go to see the Emperor and ask the Emperor for the imperial decree of marriage. After I have my hairpin ceremony, you can order the marriage.”

This is her.

Once you have made up your mind, you will cut through the mess quickly and never be sloppy.

The Second Prince smiled deeper: “Okay.”

The smile was like an intoxicating spring breeze.

Lu Mingyu took another look subconsciously, then quickly retracted her gaze, and continued: “You know what I know about this, and no third person in the world knows about it. Before the marriage is granted by the imperial edict, you won’t see me again.”

Just treat this time as your last time before beheading.

The Second Prince looked at Lu Mingyu, who had a tragic face, and couldn’t help laughing: “Is it so painful to face me?”

Lu Mingyu glanced at the past angrily: “Are you willing to look at a debt-collecting face every day!”

The Second Prince was so relieved by this stare, he couldn’t help but laugh again, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Smile, laugh, you know how to laugh, but you don’t look good when you laugh.

Lu Mingyu stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead, and solemnly reminded again: “For the time being, keep quiet about this matter. Let me be quiet for a while.”

The Second Prince restrained his smile and responded with a serious tone.

All that needs to be said was said. Lu Mingyu opened her mouth to expel people: “You go first! I want to have a barbecue with Sister Shen.”

The Second Prince looked expectantly: “Actually, I also like to eat barbecue…”

“I’ll have someone send some game to the Royal Summer retreat.” Lu Mingyu interrupted the Second Prince unceremoniously: “You can eat as much as you want, and no one cares about you until dawn.”

In short, don’t dangle in front of her eyes.

…

The Second Prince knew how to relax, Lu Mingyu’s patience was almost at the limit, and the Second Prince left before she turned her face.

After the Second Prince left, Lu Mingyu only felt that his eyes were clear and his eyes were bright.

Qiyun came over: “Miss, it’s getting dark, Miss Shen must be in a hurry.”

Lu Mingyu hummed and entered the Shen family courtyard with Qiyun.

Shen Lan, who had been waiting for a long time, came forward to meet Lu Mingyu’s calm face: “Xiaoyu, has His Highness the Second Prince gone?”

Lu Mingyu nodded slightly: “Let’s go. I’ll send someone to send some game to Huangzhuang Courtyard later.”

Shen Lan asked in a low voice, “You didn’t do it!”

Lu Mingyu: “…”

Lu Mingyu was angry and funny, and rolled her eyes at Shen Lan: “In your eyes, am I the one who beats people up when I’m not happy?”

Shen Lan thought about it seriously and nodded vigorously: “Yes.”

Lu Mingyu: “…”

Lu Mingyu burst out laughing, rushed forward and picked up Shen Lan and circled. Shen Lan lifted her feet off the ground, startled and laughed. A pair of friends laughed and went to eat a barbecue together.

After that day, the Second Prince did not show up again.

Lu Mingyu relaxed and spent five or six days in the courtyard.

Until the day, the Lu residence sent a message. Lu Mingyu suddenly realized that she had forgotten an important thing: “What did you say? Say it again!”

Butler Lu smiled all over his face: “Master, let Xiaoxiao deliver a letter. Tomorrow, the Zhou family will invite the matchmaker to come to the door, and the lady will go back to the house today.”
