Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Suisui’s reaction surprised Lu Ze for a moment.
According to Lu Ze’s understanding during this period of time, Lin Suisui disliked these schemes, so she had such keen awareness…
“Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t like those schemes, but I’m not stupid!”
Lin Suisui immediately understood the meaning in Lu Ze’s eyes when he looked at her. She looked away awkwardly as she emphasized.
“Therefore, even if we want to send a message to Pei Qian, we can’t go ourselves.”
Lu Ze nodded and didn’t continue to discuss this with Lin Suisui. He even agreed with the girl and nodded. “This way, even if anything happens, it won’t implicate us.”
Lin Suisui was about to say something when she suddenly shut her mouth and turned her head away from him. Lu Ze was feeling puzzled when he saw Du Miao’er and her sister walking over with a few women not far away. What a coincidence.
“Madam Liu, Second Brother Gu, have you guys just returned?!”
It was obvious that Lin Suisui was ignoring them, but Du Juan’er seemed to be completely unaware. She still acted like she was friends with them and rushed towards them in a few steps. She looked happy and surprised.
Afraid that this woman would knock her down, Lin Suisui took two steps back.
Fortunately, although Du Juan’er looked reckless, she actually held back. She only stopped two to three steps in front of them. Her gaze swept back and forth between Lin Suisui and Lu Ze a few times before she continued to say with a smile. “Hey, are you guys unhappy? Did you guys quarrel?!”
“I did something wrong and made my wife unhappy. I’m apologizing to her now.”
Lu Ze’s expression didn’t change, but the coldness and disgust in his eyes still caught Lin Suisui’s attention. Her heart tightened. She was about to speak to ease the awkwardness, but Lu Ze beat her to it.
As soon as Lu Ze said this, not only was Du Juan’er, who was standing opposite him, taken aback, but even Lin Suisui was dumbfounded.
How was she supposed to answer this?!
“How could that be? Mr. Gu, you’re such a good person. How could you have done something wrong?!” Du Juan’er was stunned for a long time before she regained her senses. Although she knew that it was a little inappropriate for her to speak now, she was still unwilling to give up!
People said that Lin Suisui had contributed greatly to resolving the epidemic!
However, she was just a country bumpkin. She just happened to encounter this plague and took advantage of it!
What was there to be proud of?!
“Everyone makes mistakes. No one is an exception!” Lu Ze’s response was still indifferent, but his tone changed. When he looked at Du Juan’er again, his gaze suddenly turned sharp. “However, you don’t know me, yet came to tell me all this. Have you mistaken me for someone else?!”
Pfft…
Not only Lin Suisui, but even some of the women who were standing with Du Miao’er and her sister couldn’t help but laugh.
Du Juan’er looked at Lu Ze in shock. How could he say that?!
However, Lu Ze didn’t stop. Just as Du Miao’er was about to come forward to save the day, he continued, “The next time you strike up a conversation with someone, please be smarter and don’t look for a married man like me!
My wife is very good. I don’t have the money or the intention to raise a mistress. Please have some self-respect!”
After saying that, he ignored Du Juan’er’s expression as he reached out and grabbed Lin Suisui’s hand. Lin Suisui was still standing there in a daze. He pulled her around Du Juan’er and the group of dumbfounded women, then quickly left this place.
“… You, you’re too sharp-tongued!” Lin Suisui blinked and only came back to her senses after walking for a long time. She couldn’t help but marvel.
If it were a more sensitive woman, she probably would have banged her head against the wall on the spot!
However, Lin Suisui had to admit that she was quite happy. She felt so touched and gratified!
“Why? Are you worried?!” Lu Ze chuckled. Although the little girl beside him didn’t say it explicitly, her excited look still made him feel that she was in a good mood.
Although he would ignore those girls that flirted with him, he had to take the emotions of the little girl beside him into account.
“Of course not.” Lin Suisui shook her head and said without hiding anything, “No matter what difficulties they encountered now, you’re still a married man in their eyes!
However, they ignored that fact and continued to target you. How shameless!”
Yes, the situation they were currently facing was very difficult, but if they really wanted to save themselves, was seducing someone else’s husband the only way?!
Even if their stepmother made things difficult for them, the children left behind by the previous wife, as long as they were determined and smart enough, they could find something their stepmother cared about and wield it over her, then the current crisis could be resolved!
Their stepmother also had children. Wasn’t their stepmother worried that her reputation might affect her child’s marriage prospects?!
However, they didn’t try to deal with it the right way. Instead, they wanted to use this dirty trick!
“By the way, when you were still in that position, you treated those girls from prominent political families like this too?!” With the trouble in front of her resolved, Lin Suisui couldn’t help but gossip. She turned to look at Lu Ze curiously. When he was in the East Palace, he must have had all kinds of beauties around him, right?!
“What else? If I don’t know how to refuse women’s advances, I’m afraid there won’t be a place for you in the East Palace when you marry me!” Lu Ze stopped and turned to look at Lin Suisui with a faint smile. “What else do you want to know about me? I’ll definitely tell you everything I know!”
“Who asked about you?! I was just asking casually!” Lin Suisui blushed under his gaze. Her eyes darted around and she bit her lip, trying her best to hide the inexplicable nervousness that was surging from the bottom of her heart.
No, why was she nervous?!
“I spent most of my time in the army previously. When I returned to the capital, there were a lot of troublesome matters to deal with. From the beginning to the end, I only had an engagement with you. I didn’t have an engagement with those young ladies from prestigious families!” Lu Ze couldn’t help but reach out and pinch Lin Suisui’s bulging cheek. He teased her in amusement, “Are you satisfied now, jealous girl?!”
