Shen Lan said this while winking at Lu Mingyu.

  Xiaoyu, calm down! In front of us was the Second Prince. Must hold back! Don’t do it!

  Lu Mingyu took a deep breath and hummed from her nose.

   Shen Lan breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed out an elegant smile, and said goodbye to the Second Prince. As for Lu Mingyu… Forget it, she’d be fine if she didn’t beat people up.

   Shen Lan pulled Lu Mingyu away.

  Lu Mingyu was obviously very annoyed, and the pace was quite fast.

  Shen Lan had to quicken her pace, and after a while, she almost trotted.

  The Second Prince stood where he was, watching the silhouettes of a pair of young girls leave, and laughed silently.

  His side attendant, Xiao Yuan, took in the master’s smile, and also laughed: “Seeing that Fourth Miss Lu cares so much about His Highness, His Highness finally didn’t waste your thoughts.”

   A group of princes’ personal soldiers: “…”

   The mouth of this servant, a deceiving ghost.

   Did Fourth Miss Lu’s reaction just now show she cared about the Prince? She was clearly so annoyed that she wanted to punch someone! That Miss Shen hurried to retire, wasn’t it because she was afraid that the scene would be difficult to clean up!

   Opening his eyes and talking nonsense, Eunuch Xiao Yuan was a honey-tongued speaker.

   The Second Prince’s voice contained a smile: “Xiao Yuan makes sense.”

Xiao Yuan was praised by his master, his spirits lifted, and he immediately continued with a smile: “Girls are thin-skinned, in front of so many people, how can she have the nerve to talk to His Highness closely? According to this slave, it is better for His Highness to prepare some gifts and let this slave send them to the Shen family courtyard. Fourth Miss Lu will be very happy.”

   The Second Prince glanced at Xiao Yuan approvingly: “This is a good idea.”

   Soldiers: “…”

   No wonder Eunuch Xiao Yuan can become His Highness’s confidant.

   These ruthless guards can’t be compared.

  …

  Lu Mingyu had a tense face and quickly entered the Shen family courtyard.

  Shen Lan trotted all the way, barely following behind. After entering the summer retreat, she was already dripping with sweat, and her speech was a little uneven: “Xiaoyu, wait for me.”

  Lu Mingyu stopped, turned her head, and said to Shen Lan, “Sister Shen, I know you are full of questions. However, I don’t want to talk now, so I’ll go back to the room and be alone for a while.”

   Shen Lan nodded understandingly: “Okay. When you are calm and want to talk, I will go to you again.”

  Lu Mingyu nodded slightly and walked away.

   Qiyun hurriedly chased after her.

  Dong Xue leaned over to her master and whispered, “Miss, why does this servant think that the relationship between Fourth Miss Lu and His Royal Highness the Second Prince is unusual?”

   Nonsense, even the blind can see it.

  What your heart wants, you can’t help yourself.

  Tsk tsk! I don’t know when Xiaoyu got into this peach blossom. She was in a depressed mood two days ago, I’m afraid it was because of this Second Prince! Today’s “random encounter” may have cost the Second Prince a lot of “hard work”.

   Shen Lan had a keen mind and quickly guessed correctly seven to eight %.

   She whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense about what happened with His Royal Highness the Second Prince today. You pass my order on, that the servant girls who are with us today, should keep their mouths shut.”

   Dongxue withdrew.

  …

  Lu Mingyu stayed in the room for an hour and didn’t show up until noon.

   Shen Lan glanced.

   Hmm, her face looked much better.

Shen Lan didn’t rush to ask and said with a smile: “There is a lot of wild pheasant soup from yesterday. I ordered the kitchen to prepare some rare mountain mushrooms and vegetables, make a hot pot, and eat while we chat. By the way, isn’t there a bottle of fruit wine in the courtyard, how about we just drink a few glasses?”

  Lu Mingyu nodded.

   A pair of friends sat under the tree in the courtyard.

   Food was the most soothing thing. Lu Mingyu was full of suffocation, which turned into appetite after smelling the overflowing aroma. Seeing that she was eating fast and eating deliciously, Shen Lan felt relieved.

   If she can still eat, and eat more than usual, it can be said that what was bothering her was nothing major.

The bottle of fruit wine was slightly sweet, Lu Mingyu drank half the bottle, and the more she drank, the clearer her mind became. On the other hand, Shen Lan, who could not hold her drink, quickly became drunk, and an intoxicating blush appeared on her cheeks.

   “Xiaoyu, you went to the palace two days ago to see His Royal Highness the Second Prince?” Shen Lan asked the question in her heart.

  Lu Mingyu hummed, drank the fruit wine in the glass, and placed the glass heavily on the table.

  Shen Lan: “…”

  The two have known each other for several years and were very familiar with each other’s temperament.

   Seeing Lu Mingyu’s sullen expression, Shen Lan suddenly felt amused and really laughed lightly.

  Lu Mingyu gave her friend a blank look, and said angrily, “I’m in such a bad mood but you can’t come to comfort me, and can still laugh out loud. Are you a good friend!”

  Shen Lan tried her best to hold back her laughter, and said softly, “Okay, I’ll stop laughing. You should tell me now, what happened between you and His Royal Highness the Second Prince?”

  Lu Mingyu’s face was complicated and strange. However, it is obvious that it has nothing to do with a girl that is thinking about love. After a long while, only a few words were squeezed out: “The creditor of the previous life is here to collect the debt.”

  Shen Lan thumped and laughed.

  Lu Mingyu looked at Shen Lan’s cheerful smile, and raised the corner of her mouth mockingly: “I knew you wouldn’t believe it.”

   In fact, she was telling the truth.

  Nah, this truth sounds too nonsense.

  Shen Lan laughed for a long time before stopping: “Xiaoyu, how can you say that? If you don’t want to say it, I won’t ask. When you want to say it, it’s not too late to open your mouth.”

   In short, don’t perfunctory her with such outrageous reasons.

   What else can Lu Mingyu say? She can only nod: “I can’t tell for a while. In short, I don’t want to see him at all.”

  Shen Lan pursed her lips and smiled: “You don’t want to see people, but they want to see you. The Prince came to the Royal Courtyard, and I don’t know how long he had been standing in the mountains, just to meet you by chance.”

  Lu Mingyu: “…”

  Lu Mingyu had a headache and rubbed her forehead vigorously: “Let’s change the subject.”

   Say whatever you want, just don’t mention this hateful creditor.

  Shen Lan changed the subject very cooperatively. However, seeing Lu Mingyu’s face with a headache was really fresh and interesting.

   With Lu Mingyu’s temper, whoever was not pleasing to the eye, could beat him first. This Second Prince, his highness, made Lu Mingyu feel suffocated and internally hurt, but she held back, which was unprecedented.

   “Young Miss,” Dong Xue came to report with a smile: “His Royal Highness the Second Prince sent his servants to deliver something, saying that he asked Fourth Miss Lu to accept it in person.”

   Well, the action is really fast. First, encounter, and then send people to the door to give gifts. In the next step, is it time to visit in person?

   Shen Lan looked at Lu Mingyu.

  Lu Mingyu felt suffocated again, opened her mouth, and said, “Let Xiao Yuan go back!”

   She even knew the name of the Second Prince’s personal servant.

   Shen Lan gave Lu Mingyu a meaningful look: “Are you sure?”

  What’s the use of sending this servant away? The Second Prince refused to leave her alone! Not only did he not want to go away, but he also swayed in front of her, reminding her that the debtor should repay the debt quickly.

  Lu Mingyu sighed and changed her mind: “Let him come in.”
