Huarong walked out of the house in good health, and Lai Jiu left with a smile on his face. Only Lin Heqing was battered and exhausted. When he ran out of Family Lou Town, he even lost one of his shoes.
When Huarong saw him, she thought he was a beggar on the side of the road. She lovingly gave him a deposit.
Lin Heqing pulled a long face and hugged Huarong's leg. He kept wailing, "Boss, Zhang Zigeng didn't help me. He watched as I was chased and beaten by a group of bullies."
Huarong looked at Zhang Zigeng. Zhang Zigeng said dryly, "Young Master only asked me to protect Young Master Gu. The others have nothing to do with me. He's not dead."
Gambling debts could not be collected unless extreme measures were used. Although Huarong felt the pinch, she did not care. Her goal was to see Lou Yiyang.
She looked at the sky and returned to Yangzhou City with Lin Heqing wailing all the way.
Zhang Xiaotian was in a particularly good mood today. When Huarong arrived, he had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. Huarong finished eating, washed up, and slept soundly.
As soon as she woke up, Gu Changrui came. "Did you go to Family Lou?"
Huarong nodded. She had just woken up and did not want to talk.
"Did you see Lou Yiyang?"
She shook her head and gestured to Shuxiu to pour her some water. Shuxiu passed the water to her. She gulped it down and said, "Family Lou Town is quite clean."
"Have you forgotten that your father was here? He even brought you a flute. But you didn't like the flute because it didn't hurt and broke easily. So he gave it to Brother Seven. " Gu Changrui poked her forehead. "Family Lou Town is a famous and elegant town. Every year, there are many scholars who come to Family Lou Town. So, it's not easy to accept a Family Lou."
"Is it because my status isn't high enough that I can't meet Lou Yiyang?" Huarong put down his cup and asked.
However, Gu Changrui shook his head. "No, Zhao Han-chul also sent a visiting card, and the reply was the same. I spent a lot of money to find out that Lou Yiyang is at home and is not seeing anyone. I don't know why, but I heard that the Ninth Prince also went to the Family Lou last time, but he didn't see Lou Yiyang either."
"Big Brother, could it be that Lou Yiyang really raised the imperial concubine's son, and that's why he's avoiding guests?" Otherwise, Huarong couldn't figure out why he didn't want to see him. The Ninth Prince and Zhao Han-chul were people of high status.
"Who knows? You're full of ideas. Have you thought of something?" Gu Changrui asked with a smile. He wasn't worried about not seeing Lou Yiyang.
Huarong smiled mysteriously. "It's a secret. Big Brother will know when the time comes."
"You're still keeping it a secret." Gu Changrui was helpless. "I'm warning you, don't go too far."
He was much older than Huarong and watched her grow up. All these years, no matter what happened, he had never seen his sister suffer a loss. Even if she couldn't take revenge on the spot, she would still remember it clearly and take revenge when she had the chance. She might not remember the road, but she would never forget the revenge.
In Yangzhou, although he was worried that he wouldn't be able to do as he wished in the capital, he wasn't particularly worried. On the contrary, he was more worried about the Family Lou.
Huarong gave Gu Changrui a reassuring look and ordered Shuxiu, "Go and send an invitation to Lou Jun. While you're at it, find Miss Ruyi. She promised to compensate me."
The way to please a person was very simple. No matter what point of view they had, most of them would agree with you. Make them feel that you have the same interests as them. As long as they didn't have a special personality, they would definitely treat you as a confidant.
Coincidentally, Huarong was the best at this. Lou Jun originally came for Ruyi. During the meal, he held Huarong's hand and looked as if he regretted not meeting him sooner. "Brother, if you're not in a hurry to return to the capital, why don't you stay at the Family Lou for a few days? So this brother can show his hospitality as a host. "
When they first met, he and Huarong looked about the same age. When they exchanged ages at the table, he found that he was a few months older than Huarong, so he changed the way he addressed him. Of course, Huarong readily accepted.
"Then deference is no substitute for obedience."
Going to the Family Lou Town for sightseeing was naturally accompanied by beauties. Lai Jiu was very sad. He couldn't go with Huarong and wouldn't be able to see Miss Ruyi. He didn't know what kind of bewitching potion Boss gave Miss Ruyi, but that Ruyi actually listened to his every word. Not only did she personally play the zither and accompany him to drink, but she also went with him to the Family Lou Town for sightseeing.
They were both men. Boss hadn't even married yet, so how could he be so much more outstanding than him!
Lai Jiu was very sad, but Lin Heqing was even sadder. He wanted to continue to collect his debt. Zhang Xiaotian, on the other hand, was still very happy. He revealed his identity and went with Huarong to the Family Lou Town for sightseeing. Lou Jun personally acted as a guide, and there were even beauties to attend to.
The group planned to take a look at the sea of bamboos in Family Lou Town. However, just as they arrived at the entrance, they saw Zhao Han-chul leisurely walking over. Beside him was the prefectural magistrate's son. Huarong looked around but didn't see Gu Changrui.
"Brother Gu is also here." Zhao Han-chul clearly knew from Gu Changrui that Huarong would be accompanied by Lou Jun on a tour of the sea of bamboos, but he still asked the obvious.
He pretended to be ignorant. Huarong was too lazy to expose him, so he nodded. "What a coincidence to meet the Crown Prince here."
"Isn't that so? What a coincidence. "The words didn't come from Zhao Han-chul, but from behind him.
Zhao Han-chul heard the words and turned around, coincidentally letting Huarong see the people behind him. It was a group of wealthy family servants. The one walking in front was Wen Er, and behind him were two women. Both of them were wearing veils. One of them looked familiar to Huarong. It was Yang Ze, but he had never seen the other woman before.
The one who spoke was Wen Er.
Wen Er didn't have a good expression towards Zhao Han-chul. He walked in front of Huarong and cupped his hands. "Greetings to the Princess of Minhui."
Huarong: "… …" He cursed in his heart. Princess your grandma. She finally made Lou Jun feel that they were like-minded and close friends. You exposed my identity as soon as you arrived, didn't I become a liar?
"Princess?" Lou Jun's face was full of confusion.
"Brother Lou … …" Huarong wanted to explain, but Wen Er beat him to it. "Young Master Lou probably doesn't know, but this is the Princess of Minhui that His Majesty personally conferred. She is the first princess of our dynasty with a different surname. She is deeply favored by His Majesty."
Lou Jun looked at Huarong and said in disbelief, "You're actually a woman?"
It could be seen that he was very hurt. Looking at his hurt expression, Huarong felt a bit guilty. Although she didn't do things to the point of harming people's lives, sometimes it was indeed dishonorable.
"You see, Brother Lou knows that I'm a woman, so he doesn't treat me as a friend. Ai, I shouldn't have befriended Brother Lou. This world is unfair to women." She felt guilty, and her eyes were also filled with guilt. However, she was also very hurt and looked at him as if he was looking down on women.
The change of concept was very clever. Lou Jun spent all his time in Family Lou Town. Although he saw many refined scholars, most of them were gentlemen like Gu Weiren. In the end, he was no match for Huarong. He immediately felt even more guilty than Huarong. "No, no, no, it's not like that."
"Really? Brother Lou really doesn't mind that I'm a woman and is willing to chat with me about everything? "Huarong immediately blinked her big black eyes. She looked lively, sincere, and pitiful.
"Of course." Lou Jun knew that she was a woman. He saw that she was sad and felt guilty for lying to him. He couldn't help it. Whether he was a male chauvinist or protective of women, he easily forgave Huarong.
Wen Er snorted, "What a glib tongue!"
"Princess, I didn't expect to meet you here. Would you mind going the same way?" Yang Ze spoke.
