Prince Needs to be Tamed

"Cough, cough," Lu JinNian's expression didn't change as he lowered his eyes and said, "I was just about to go to the Duke of Yi's estate with my two younger sisters to report to my aunt. Since Aunt is still busy, I'll take my leave first."

Still busy? Didn't this mean that the Shen family could not bear the loneliness and was still planning to continue after being seen by everyone?

Everyone cast their gazes towards Lu JinNian and were very curious as to whether this young miss said so unintentionally or intentionally.

However, Lu Jinniang's expression was calm as he leisurely turned around and walked out of the room. The others did not stay any longer and walked out as well. The last person who was still considerately helping Mrs Shen to close the door.

But before they had walked far, they heard Mrs Shen burst out in a roar, "Lu JinNian, I want you to live a life worse than death!"

Lu JinNian paused and his smile grew wider.

She had always wanted to throw herself into the wooden peach, to return it to Qiong Yao, to throw herself into a scheme, to return it a hundredfold, to live a life worse than death?

It seemed that she had given in too much in the past few years, making them unable to recognize her identity, and did not reflect on her actions of harming others, instead accusing others. Fine, she will see what kind of tricks Shen Shi can pull!

The other servants carefully looked at Lu JinNian's face and secretly thought, seeing that not only the young miss was entertaining herself, but also her own daughter, you, it's fine if you can't do it yourself, it's enough for you to directly say that you want to take revenge on your own daughter.

After a moment of silence, Lu JinNian suddenly turned around and said to the crowd, "Perhaps it's because Aunt is angry when she gets up, and it's not my place to disturb her sleep. Go do what you need to do, Qingwan, Qingyao, don't you have to go to the Duke of Guo's estate? Hurry up and go wash up and set off."

Lu Qingwan nodded and turned to run back into her own yard. Although she was only vaguely aware that her mother was doing that, she still felt a little awkward. She felt that the gazes of the servants towards her were off, so she just wanted to escape.

Others only thought that Madam Shen's appearance was due to her being unable to endure loneliness, but Lu Qingyao clearly knew that it was the symptom of that medicine.

And since the Shen clan wanted to use that medicine on Lu JinNian, they wouldn't be foolish enough to use it themselves. If they did, they could only use it against Lu JinNian.

When he looked at Lu JinNian again, his eyes were filled with fear and relief. He was afraid that she had done what she did to make Lady Shen suffer and if she had some backing behind her back. Luckily, he wasn't the one who did it.

Lu JinNian raised his eyebrows and smiled at the stunned Lu Qingyao, "Little Sister Qingyao, don't worry. As long as you don't provoke me, I won't do anything."

Lu Qingyao raised her head in horror. These words seemed to be a response to Mrs Shen's roar just now, but also a warning to her on what she had been thinking a moment ago.

As long as they didn't provoke her, she wouldn't interfere no matter what they did. In other words, as long as they provoked her, Lady Shen's current shameful ending was an example.

"Sister must be joking. What can sister do? She should go and fix her makeup. Wait for sister by the departing carriage?"

"You're a smart person," Lu JinNian said indifferently. "I don't have an invitation. You guys leave, and I'll go with grandfather."

Lu Qingyao's eyes flashed, "Then little sister will take her leave."

"..."

In order to save the previous emperor's life on the battlefield, the Old Duke of Yi had tied a leg around the neck and refused to fight again. The late emperor was extremely grateful and rewarded the Qian Hu Marquis and the title of official in the country.

However, the Old Duke of Yi, being a man of integrity, informed the late emperor that it was only right for the late emperor to die as a subject. He declined the bestowal, and in the end, the late emperor had no choice but to reclaim his thousand households of lands, retaining his title and allowing it to be inherited.

This was a good start for the officials who would become nobles in the future. If they didn't want a land even for someone as desperate as the Old Duke of Yi, how could other people dare to shamelessly ask for it?

Old Yi was not in good health, so he had already passed the title to his son.

Lu Jinghui came from a grassroots background, and in his early years, he had only shown himself in front of the late emperor due to his knowledge and kindness. Before he left government for official service, he would frequently visit the Duke of Yi's residence to chat and study with him, or ask for advice when faced with a problem.

Now that he had returned to Liang Jing City, it was only natural for him to pay a visit to his teacher. Moreover, Lu Jinghui was a former great general and the current great general's father.

Lu JinNian went back to his room and changed into a clean plain white gown. The sleeves were decorated with a lake blue water pattern, making it the most gaudy of all her clothes.

Her red hair was still tied up, and there was no need to change her facial features. At first glance, she looked like a young, gentle youth who had yet to grow, but was neither male nor female.

Looking at his granddaughter's appearance, Lu Jinghui was very satisfied, "Not bad, with your grandmother's character, it would be even more perfect to find a youth as outstanding as your grandfather."

Lu JinNian, "..." Grandpa, be modest, be modest!

Lu Jinghui was wearing a brand-new dress that he had gotten from Lu Mo Ting's closet. Lu Mo Ting hadn't come home yet.

In the army camp, Lu Jinghui was wearing battle robes and ordinary clothes. Although he was a little old, he was growing older and his figure was still in good shape. Wearing Lu Mo Ting's clothes did not seem too out of place.

Lu Jinnian circled around Lu Jing Hui twice, and nodded, "As expected of grandpa, he's not bad, but there are some places that aren't too suitable for him. I just happened to have bought two stalks of materials yesterday and was going to make my father some clothes, but my father can't wear them either, so I'll just make them for grandpa when the materials are delivered today."

"Ever since your grandmother passed away, the only person who can remember to make clothes for me is you, Jin'er." Lu Jinghui sighed with emotion as he patted Lu JinNian's shoulder.

"Let's go. We'll go with grandpa to see your grandpa Yi first. I just don't know if Jin'er's riding skills have declined in the past few years. I heard that the young ladies of Liang Jing City only ride in carriages?"

Lu JinNian was exasperated, "Grandfather, did you forget that after not living in Liang Jing for so long? In Liang Jing City, only horseback riding is allowed. You cannot ride a horse, as long as you don't want to be invited by the Jing Zhao Palace to tea. "

Lu Jinghui rubbed his nose and snorted, "I know. I was talking about a horse farm in Old Yi's residence, and I want to test my skills there."

Lu JinNian, "..." Grandpa, don't try to hide it. Just look at your expression and you'll know that you have definitely forgotten about it!

However, with his grandfather's arrogant and pampered personality, he would absolutely not admit it. Lu JinNian shook his head in amusement, then told Mu Qi to prepare a horse and instructed him to follow by his grandfather's side today.

It had already been said that Muqi was a bodyguard specially hired for her grandfather. Even if it meant acting, she had to do it well. Besides, Muqi was a talented person, and she could learn a lot by following her grandfather around.

However, when he told her of his decision, she blushed once again. Lu JinNian could only say apologetically, "Young man, I will help you process the money!"
