Chapter 105 Are you really related?
Lu Yangyang's clear, bright eyes seemed to be able to penetrate one's soul.
Seeing this, Sheng Yunzhu could barely maintain her pretense, and a hint of hatred flashed in her reddened eyes.
Lu Yangyang curled her lips into a bright smile, gave her a quick laugh, and turned to leave.
In contrast, Sheng Yunzhu looked like a clown performing tricks.
Overwhelmed with anger, Sheng Yunzhu suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
Just as Sheng Junyi had calmed down Madam Li, she opened the car door and saw this scene. She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from her wound: "Zhuzhu? What happened? Are you feeling better? How did you get so badly injured? You should rest for a while. When we get to Huguo Temple, I'll go and ask someone to come and treat your injury."
Sheng Junyi glanced at the sky: "We'll arrive in half an hour at most. Hang in there a little longer."
Sheng Yunzhu was pale and weakly grabbed Sheng Junyi's arm. Her eyes were blurry with tears as she looked at Sheng Junyi in a soft and pitiful voice: "Second brother, I have been giving in to her in every way, so why won't she let me go?"
"Now my mother and eldest brother don't like me either. Second brother, what should I do?"
Looking at her pitiful appearance, Sheng Junyi didn't know how to comfort her for a moment, so she could only gently pat her back: "Don't overthink it, this has nothing to do with you, it's not your fault."
Sheng Yunzhu simply shed tears silently.
Sheng Junyi comforted her for a while, but seeing that she was in a really bad state, he originally wanted to go and see if his mother was frightened, but now he had no choice but to stay in the carriage.
The obstacles on the road were quickly cleared away, and just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from behind.
Lu Yangyang stuck her head out of the window and saw a woman in brightly colored riding attire riding a pure white horse galloping towards them. She must have spotted her; the woman called out from afar.
"Lu Yangyang!"
She is Princess Liduan.
She rode alone on horseback, followed by two carriages and a dozen guards.
Vast.
She excitedly rushed to Lu Yangyang's carriage, dismounted, and exclaimed, "It really is you! What a coincidence! I was just about to visit Huguo Temple for a couple of days. Since we've run into each other, let's travel together. What happened to you? Why are you stopped here? Good heavens, why is there blood on the ground?"
Before Lu Yangyang could say a word, she exclaimed in surprise.
"I've run into some trouble."
As Lu Yangyang was speaking, she saw that Princess Liduan had already abandoned her horse and climbed into her carriage.
"Oh no, there's so much blood on your clothes! Did you do it yourself? Were you assassinated? Oh my god! Are you hurt?" Princess Li Duan exclaimed as she grabbed her arm to check if she was injured.
"I'm fine, it's not my blood, why are you coming up here?" Lu Yangyang asked her, puzzled.
“I’ll go with you. We’ve already run into each other. You’re not planning to abandon me, are you? Aren’t we still friends?” Princess Liduan glared at her angrily.
Lu Yangyang: "..."
How did she suddenly gain a friend out of nowhere?
At this moment, Princess Liduan shouted to the guards who were following outside the window: "You all keep an eye on things and follow the Duke's Mansion. Lin Feng, go find Brother Sheng and see if he can help."
After shouting, she shrank back and swaggered to sit down next to Lu Yangyang, acting like the hostess. She reached out and grabbed a fruit from the table and started eating it.
Lu Yangyang: "..."
She had seen people with big hearts, but she had never seen anyone as big-hearted as Princess Liduan.
Just moments ago, I was asking her in alarm if she had been assassinated, but in the blink of an eye, she was sitting down and eating fruit.
A moment later, Sheng Junyao's voice rang out from outside, "Thank you for your help, County Princess. The obstacles on the road ahead have been cleared, and I have sent someone back to report. I will need to trouble the County Princess's guards to accompany me next."
Princess Li Duan hurriedly wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, her face turning shy in an instant. She leaned against the window and whispered, "Brother Sheng, don't be so polite. Yangyang and I are friends. I was just thinking of going with her. Let's set off now so we don't miss lunch."
"Alright, thank you, Princess." Sheng Junyao bowed to Princess Liduan and rode off ahead.
After he left, Princess Liduan shrank back, her little face completely red.
Lu Yangyang was dumbfounded: "Can you change your expression? You weren't talking to me like that just now!"
Lu Yangyang was truly amazed. How could this person have two faces? Ever since she accidentally met her that day, she had been like a peacock, a fighting cock, or a parrot—in short, noisy, always jumping around, never acting normally for a moment.
But when she was talking to Sheng Junyao just now, she was like a completely different person.
Even if Lu Yangyang was slow to notice, she could tell that something was wrong with her.
Princess Li Duan grabbed the fruit she had just finished eating and glared at her, saying, "Can you be like Brother Sheng? Brother Sheng is my savior!"
"But you saved me that day, so I'm still very grateful to you. Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who repays kindness, and I'll definitely repay you properly."
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Why are all the people she meets so strange?
She recalled Sheng Yunjiao's gossipy words from that day, and then thought of Sheng Junyao, and asked her suspiciously, "You don't really like my older brother, do you? You mean, Young Master Sheng?"
Princess Liduan seemed to have her secrets exposed: "So what if he is? Is it wrong for me to admire and respect him? Good men in this world are meant to be admired. My second cousin has even more admirers. Women all over the world want to marry him!"
"Your second cousin?" Lu Yangyang was taken aback.
"It's His Highness the Crown Prince, isn't it? You know him, and you even gave him acupuncture? I see you're quite familiar with my second cousin. Don't you have any admiration for him at all?" Princess Liduan leaned closer, looking at her with a gossipy expression.
Lu Yangyang shook her head in confusion, then nodded. "His Highness the Crown Prince is a good person. I think he's very capable. I don't know if this counts as admiration."
Previously, Magistrate Ling had told her many stories about His Highness the Crown Prince, including the good deeds he had done for the country and the people, as well as some measures he strongly advocated, such as reforming the tax law. Lu Yangyang didn't understand these things, but she knew one thing: every year when taxes were collected, the village chief would say that His Highness the Crown Prince was a good person, and that if the taxes were lower this year, everyone's lives would be better, much better than in previous years.
During this time, Lu Yangyang accompanied His Highness to attend classes and heard Grand Tutor Lan mention some measures, which she could tell were all beneficial to the people.
So it wasn't just because His Highness the Crown Prince helped her a few times; based on other factors alone, Lu Yangyang also felt that the Crown Prince was a good person.
As for admiration, she couldn't figure out what that feeling was like.
"You really are clueless. Oh well, anyone who likes my second cousin is destined to be heartbroken. You'd better not admire him. But you're not allowed to admire Brother Sheng either, okay? You two are really related, aren't you?"
