Lu Mingyu quickly changed her clothes and walked to the yard.

  Her hair was too late to be combed and was scattered at will. The water-like moonlight sprinkled on her jet-black hair, shimmering with a hint of silk. The condensed eyebrows are also much softer than in the daytime.

   The hurried footsteps suddenly stopped.

  Lu Mingyu raised her eyes and looked at the person coming.

  Li Hao stood at the courtyard gate, motionless.

  The two were separated by a few meters and looked at each other for a long time.

   Qiyun quietly retreated and took away all the guards who were patrolling nearby. With the skills of the young lady, she will never suffer.

   After an unknown amount of time, Li Hao slowly stepped forward. Stopping at about three meters, he stared straight at Lu Mingyu, his voice was dark and hoarse: “Xiaoyu, you are still willing to see me. It can be seen that you have always had me in your heart.”

   “I don’t understand why you won’t marry me.”

“Perhaps in the eyes of others, the second brother’s background is better than mine, and it is common sense for you to choose the second brother. But I know that you are by no means such a woman who covets honor and wealth. There must be some reason why you love me but don’t want to see me again.”

   “Xiaoyu, tell me where I went wrong. Can I fix it? Why did you get mad at me?”

   A handsome and affectionate youth, with heartbroken sorrow in his eyes, whispered a soft plea.

   Unless you had a heart of stone, at this moment, you can’t stand still.

  Lu Mingyu smashed Li Hao’s sweetness with just one sentence: “Li Hao, have you asked Su Zhaorong?”

  Li Hao’s expression froze.

   Lu Mingyu’s eyes flashed with sarcasm, and her voice was as cold as ice: “You asked. Your mother told you that she has never been out of the palace or met me, so how could she have a grudge against me.”

“She must have said, I look down on her for being a dancer, and I despise you, the prince, with a low birth mother. She said that I was greedy for vanity, wanted to marry the Second Prince, but didn’t want to carry a bad name, so I blamed everything on her. .”

   “Your mother is weak and pitiful and weeps endlessly. How can you continue to ask questions being a filial son? Whether you believe it or not, you have to accept this rhetoric.”

“Am I right?”

  Li Hao: “…”

   Under those sharp eyes full of sarcasm, Li Hao only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, his ears were burning, and he couldn’t tell whether he was ashamed or angry.

   She guessed it well!

   “It doesn’t really matter what the truth is.” Lu Mingyu’s cold voice came to his ears again: “The important thing is that you and I have no chance of being a husband and wife.”

   “You are unwilling, and you want to see me again before the marriage is granted by the imperial decree. Tonight, I met you, so that I can make a complete break with you.”

   “The past between you and me will be completely cut off, and there will be no more entanglements. Soon, I will be your future Second Sao.”^[1]Wife of an elder brother. From now on I will try to write the Chinese relationship because the English terms don’t catch the nuisance. 

   “You’re not afraid of being embarrassed, but I’m afraid of being laughed at. However, you have to think about your second brother’s face. You have to respect me and stay away from me, don’t get tangled up and make people laugh.”

   Li Hao’s body trembled, his handsome face was pale, and his lips were bloodless.

Looking at Li Hao like this, Lu Mingyu didn’t feel sorry for the slightest bit, but felt happy: “Li Hao, while I still have some patience, if you have anything to say, just say it together! After tonight, you and I are like a stranger, and I don’t need to meet again.”

  Li Hao closed his eyes, his chest heaved violently a few times, and then opened it: “Lu Mingyu, I can’t let go of this mystery every day. Tell me, what is it for? What?”

  Lu Mingyu twitched the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile in her black eyes: “You can’t let go, what does it have to do with me? Your mother hides it and doesn’t dare to say it, why should I tell you?”

  Li Hao: “…”

  Li Hao clenched his fists hard, his eyes flashed with terrifying red threads, and his handsome face was faintly twisted. Like a beast trapped in a cage, struggling desperately, still unable to break free.

  Lu Mingyu was not at all afraid, raised her eyebrows, and sneered: “What? Feeling ashamed? Want to fight me?”

  Li Hao blushed and squeezed out a few words: “How can you be so heartless!”

   These short words suddenly evoked Lu Mingyu’s deep-seated anger.

   What kind of heartbreak was this?

   Back then, he was treacherous, and the things he had done were called heartless!

   Lu Mingyu’s eyes burst into flames, and she hit quickly.

  Li Haoyuan himself was not as good as Lu Mingyu. At this time, he was lost and defenseless and was hit in the nose with a punch. Two lines of nosebleeds flowed out in an instant, and tears rushed out of the eyes uncontrollably. The pain was unbearable and embarrassing.

   Before Li Hao could cover his nose with his hands, he was kicked by Lu Mingyu and hit his left leg.

  Li Hao staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

“Scram!”

  Lu Mingyu shouted angrily, her eyes burning with anger: “Get out of here immediately! Don’t come back to Lu Mansion in the future!”

   The nosebleed ticked down his chin and quickly dyed his shirt red.

   Li Hao covered the bridge of his nose with his hand, so painful that he could hardly open his mouth to speak: “You…”

   “Will you go?” Lu Mingyu approached with a sneer, clenching her right fist: “If you don’t go, you don’t have to go tonight.”

   Under the moon before the flowers, a pair of young men and women looked at each other. The girl opened her mouth and said, “Don’t leave tonight.” What a charming scene that must be.

  What Lu Mingyu said was obviously different from that picture.

   Li Hao showed blue veins on his forehead, stared at Lu Mingyu fiercely, covered his nose, and turned away. Just now, Lu Mingyu’s punch was very heavy, and he didn’t know if the bridge of his nose was broken, and the pain was piercing.

  This time, he didn’t look back.

  Lu Mingyu’s heartlessness tonight finally completely cut off all the tenderness in his heart, leaving only devastated sadness.

  …

  Li Hao’s figure quickly disappeared into the night.

   The anger in Lu Mingyu’s heart did not subside.

   The betrayal and pain that she had suffered in her previous life reeled in her heart endlessly. She even had the urge to catch up and kill Li Hao with a sword. Fortunately, this impulsive thought flashed by and was quickly suppressed.

   This hatred can only be ended with blood. However, now was not the time.

  Lu Mingyu took a deep breath.

   Qiyun’s familiar footsteps sounded: “Miss, did you attack His Royal Highness the Third Prince?”

  Lu Mingyu didn’t turn around and hummed.

  Qiyun seemed to sigh, and quickly said: “Fight if you fight, it’s fine if you don’t suffer any losses.” Then she whispered: “The servants will be told to forget about tonight’s affairs so that people won’t talk nonsense.”

  No matter what the inside story was, it was always a fact that Lu Mingyu and Li Hao met at night. Once it spread, it will not only damage Lu Mingyu’s reputation but also make His Highness the Second Prince misunderstand.

  Lu Mingyu hummed again.

  Qiyun couldn’t be relieved, and whispered comfortingly: “It’s so late, Miss must be tired, let’s go back to the house and rest!”

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and was about to turn back to the house. Another familiar voice rang: “Xiaoyu.”

  Lu Mingyu looked at the person coming with complicated eyes: “Dad, it’s so late, you haven’t slept yet?”
