The two of them entered the residence together. Jiang Suizhou's carriage was already waiting by the roadside, waiting for Jiang Suizhou to return.
Seeing the carriage and Meng Qianshan coming to greet them, Jiang Suizhou thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. I'll go with Miss Lou."
Although his body was usually weak, and the residence was large, so he usually traveled by carriage, there was only one carriage here. It wouldn't be good for him to sit in the carriage and have a guest walk beside him.
Meng Qianshan hurriedly complied and waved his hand to let the servants carry the carriage away.
This was very common in the prince's residence. On the contrary, Lou Wanjun was quite interested in Prince Jing's entourage. She smiled and started chatting with him.
Even though Jiang Suizhou still had to maintain his cold and arrogant appearance, he was still a bit overwhelmed. Not long after, he started chatting with her.
He couldn't help but admit that Lou Wanjun's body was very attractive. It was the result of many years of experience on the battlefield and in the army.
As the two of them walked and talked, they gradually arrived outside the courtyard of Anyin Hall. The prince's residence was very large. Jiang Suizhou hadn't walked such a long distance in a long time. By the time they arrived in front of the courtyard, his feet were already a bit light.
Lou Wanjun was keenly aware of this.
"His Highness Prince Jing's body is a bit too weak," she said.
Jiang Suizhou lowered his head and said, "Miss, you must be joking. This prince's illness came from the womb. After all these years, I haven't seen any signs of recovery. "
Lou Wanjun shook her head.
Sure enough, if a person was truly perfect, even the heavens would be jealous of him.
As they talked, the two of them walked into the courtyard. Jiang Suizhou raised his hand and gestured towards Huo Wujiu's residence, "It's over there. Miss, please help yourself. This prince will return to his room to rest. "
When the two of them met, they should have something to talk about in private. He had to be tactful.
Lou Wanjun was surprised, "You two don't live together?"
Jiang Suzhou nodded.
For some reason, Lou Wanjun sighed and continued, "Alright then, many thanks to Your Highness. I don't have anything to say. I'll leave soon. Don't worry, Your Highness. "
Hearing this, Jiang Suizhou nodded at her. He nodded and smiled at Lou Wanjun. Out of courtesy, and because he didn't have to worry too much since he was back in his own courtyard.
Lou Wanjun cupped his hands in salute in satisfaction, then led the manservant behind him into a room in Huo Wujiu.
Jiang Suizhou looked at her back and was silent for a moment. Then, as if he was running away from something, he turned around and went back to the main house without saying a word.
The door closed quietly.

Lou Wanjun had never liked Huo Wujiu since he was young.
Ever since she was young, she had followed her father wherever he went. Coincidentally, her father had brought her to Yang Guan when she could remember.
Her mother had died in childbirth. Regardless of whether it was her father or the elders around her, they all doted on her. As for the brats who grew up at the border, they had never seen a young girl before. When they played, they usually let her have her way.
Huo Wujiu was the only exception.
Among the brats at the border, he had the worst personality and was the most undisciplined. Even Uncle Huo, who was a strong and healthy person, would sometimes be angered to the point of clutching his heart.
But he was tall, and he was good at fighting and riding. Even if he was arrogant, condescending, and didn't like to talk to anyone, the group of children still liked to stick to his cold face and follow his lead, like a local tyrant who occupied a mountain and called himself a king.
Huo Wujiu, on the other hand, didn't like to play with young girls.
It was also during that period of time that Lou Wanjun was ostracized like never before. It was the silent violence that made people suffer unspeakably. Although Huo Wujiu didn't laugh at her, he also didn't pay attention to her. With a wave of his hand, he took a group of wild boys and ran off into the wild. Climbing trees, riding horses, hunting, Lou Wanjun couldn't keep up with them.
She was young at that time and was so angry that she cried. Fortunately, Huo Wujiu had a quiet older brother, Huo Yuyan, who was willing to stay and play with her.
"Wujiu is just a little arrogant. He doesn't mean any harm." Huo Yuyan always tried to persuade her slowly. "Don't argue with him."
But Lou Wanjun didn't listen to him. When she grew older and learned martial arts, she wanted to compete with Huo Wujiu. She wanted to beat Huo Wujiu into submission one day so that she could be the big brother and isolate Huo Wujiu.
In the end, Huo Wujiu's cold and arrogant personality looked down on her because she was a young girl. Even though she beat up all of Huo Wujiu's underlings, Huo Wujiu didn't care about fighting with her.
Just like that, Lou Wanjun and Huo Wujiu were like fire and water for more than ten years. Even now, when Lou Wanjun thought about it, she hated it so much that her teeth itched.
Her father even wanted her to marry Huo Wujiu?
He might as well kill her.
Lou Wanjun strode to Huo Wujiu's door. She didn't knock. She raised her leg and the door opened.
She turned around and took the gifts from the pageboy. She raised her chin and said, "Wait outside." Then, she went into the room and kicked the door shut.
The five-room house was extremely spacious. The interior was luxurious, and the furnishings were also top-notch. With one look, one could tell that Huo Wujiu was eating and drinking well here. He didn't need anyone's concern at all.
She hugged the gifts and looked around. Then, she heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling around.
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall young man sitting in the wheelchair. His legs were especially long and he looked a little condescending as he rested on the wheelchair.
The man's eyes were sharp and fierce. One of his eyebrows was cut off by a scar. The eyes under his eyebrows were like a hawk's. It was Huo Wujiu.
Lou Wanjun burst out laughing.
"Oh, a cripple?" She walked forward with a smile and put the gifts in her hands on the table. Then, she raised her leg and kicked Huo Wujiu's wheelchair.
Suddenly, a shadow shrouded her like a mountain.
Huo Wujiu, who was supposed to be crippled, stood up.
He was very tall and his aura was extremely oppressive. Lou Wanjun couldn't help but take a small step back.
"You …" She stuttered for a moment. She stared at Huo Wujiu for a moment before she found her voice. "You're pretending?"
Huo Wujiu glanced at her. He walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.
"What's the matter?"
He didn't seem close to Lou Wanjun at all. Instead, he was the same as he was seven or eight years ago. He still looked arrogant and disdainful of others. It made Lou Wanjun's head itch.
Lou Wanjun glared at him and sat down across from him. "I'm just here to see if you're dead. Why are you in a daze? Aren't you going to pour some tea? "
The second half of her sentence was directed at Wei Kai, who was standing next to her.
Wei Kai trembled and hurriedly went forward to pour a cup of tea for this lady.
He really didn't dare to provoke this young lady. His fear of her had already been engraved into his bones.
It couldn't be helped. This young lady had never gotten along with the general since she was young. Since she couldn't beat the general, she could only beat up a group of small fries like them. Although they weren't pushovers, this young lady was really powerful. They couldn't beat her every time and were always beaten black and blue.
They really didn't dare to think about it.
Lou Wanjun took a sip of tea. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Huo Wujiu speak.
"Why did you come with Imperial Prince Jing?"
There was a hint of accusation in his tone.
Lou Wanjun looked up and realized that something was wrong with Huo Wujiu today.
This person looked down on everyone and didn't care about anyone. It was hard to make him smile, but even harder to make him frown. However, ever since she entered today, Huo Wujiu's brows hadn't relaxed. The way he looked at her was also extremely unfriendly.
Only now did she realize that she didn't know how she had offended him.
This was really strange.
Lou Wanjun laughed and said carelessly, "Why can't we come together? We met at the door. What's wrong with chatting? "
Huo Wujiu's brows furrowed even deeper.
"He didn't take the imperial carriage?" he asked.
Lou Wanjun said, "No. He didn't. Oh, when we entered, it stopped for a moment. He didn't take the carriage. He walked with me. "
After she said this, she felt Huo Wujiu's gaze become even colder.
Huh?
This made Lou Wanjun feel that it was strange.
Why did this guy who didn't care about anything start to fuss over such a trivial matter today?
Lou Wanjun continued to speak. Every word was from the bottom of his heart.
"Although this Imperial Prince Jing's reputation is a bit bad, he's really a good person. It's clear that the officials of the imperial court are spreading false rumors. They're the ones who aren't good people," she said. "All these years, I've never seen a man who's so beautiful and has such a good personality. It's really strange, don't you think?"
She watched as Huo Wujiu's face darkened.
He didn't say anything for a moment. Wei Kai, who was next to him, also kept quiet out of fear.
After a while, Huo Wujiu squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"In the future, don't come to Imperial Prince Jing's Estate if you don't have anything important to do. Stay away from him," he said. "Even if you don't have anything important to do, don't come."

Lou Wanjun understood a principle.
He always heard people say that everything was up to fate. Some things really couldn't be forced. When the time came, it would naturally come, like a surprise that fell from the sky.
For example, all these years, she had wanted to teach Huo Wujiu a lesson, but she never had the chance. Today, she had suddenly angered him to the point that he couldn't speak of his suffering.
Lou Wanjun only felt refreshed. He admired Huo Wujiu's appearance as he tried to suppress his anger, then patted his clothes and left.
Only Huo Wujiu was left sitting there with a cold expression.
Sure enough, underestimating the enemy and being complacent were taboo for a military strategist.
He was only happy because Jiang Suizhou wasn't a homosexual and the two gorgeously dressed men in his residence weren't a threat. He actually forgot that there was this kind of Cheng Yaojin who came out of nowhere.
He saw Jiang Suizhou smile at Lou Wanjun. He also saw the way Lou Wanjun looked at Jiang Suizhou. His eyes were bright and cunning, like a wolf who only wanted to bring meat back to its den.
Huo Wujiu's teeth were itching.
But he didn't dare to say it. Jiang Suizhou's courage was not much bigger than a wild rabbit on the grassland. He would run away if he was scared. Moreover, he still had improper thoughts about him. He felt a little guilty.
Huo Wujiu was like a caged beast. He was so angry that he walked around in circles in his room. That was until Jiang Suizhou came that night.
Naturally, he had something to say.
Recently, Pang Shao had been making strange movements in the imperial court. Jiang Suizhou had also found some clues. If these clues were pieced together, they might be able to detect Pang Shao's movements.
But that night, Jiang Suizhou actually felt a little guilty.
The information he brought out was not important. He had already checked it with Xu Du. It was just ordinary corruption and bribery. It had nothing to do with Lou Yue.
But …
He couldn't sit still the whole day. He wanted to find an excuse to meet Huo Wujiu and see what his attitude towards Lou Wanjun was.
So, he brought these things with him.
He sat face to face with Huo Wujiu in a serious manner, listing out the information and intelligence he had in his hands one by one. Finally, he said slowly, "It's just that I don't know much about General Lou. I don't know what Pang Shao's actions have to do with him. Take a look."
Huo Wujiu didn't say anything for a long time.
He looked up in confusion and saw Huo Wujiu sitting there with a frown.
"Huo Wujiu?" Jiang Suizhou called out to him in confusion.
Huo Wujiu frowned and said, "You're quite concerned."
"Hmm?"
The next moment, Huo Wujiu looked up and looked at him.
"Lou Wanjun came today. Did you talk about anything on the way here?"
His expression was serious, as if he was really arguing with Jiang Suizhou about this small matter.
But only he knew that he only wanted to hear Jiang Suizhou tell him why he smiled at Lou Wanjun today.
