Chapter 175: Brother, My Name is Xiao Jiu

Chenlong looked at Meng Qianqian with caution.

Meng Qianqian said, "Anyway, you have to choose between my husband and my brother!"

"Meng, Xiao, Jiu!" Lu Yuan's stern voice suddenly came from outside the small garden.

Meng Qianqian shuddered and said to Chenlong, "Actually, I already have a husband, so you can only be my brother! That's settled! I need to go and appease my husband first!"

She stood up and quickly walked down the steps.

After taking a few steps, as if she had thought of something, she turned back and smiled at Chenlong, "Brother, my name is Xiao Jiu! I live in the Governor's Mansion, remember to come and find me!"

Chenlong was stunned.

Meng Qianqian quickly left the small garden and came to Lu Yuan's side.

Lu Yuan's expression was icy cold, his entire body exuded endless killing intent, ready to draw his sword at any moment.

Meng Qianqian raised her hands, which were wrapped like a zongzi, and pitifully said, "I was just trying to win Chenlong over."

Lu Yuan's gaze fell on her zongzi-like hands, "Was that also part of your act?"

Meng Qianqian nodded, her face turning stiff.

You might not believe it, but this Tiger of the Year... made a mistake with his move.

But she couldn't say that, as she also valued her reputation.

Lu Yuan let out a cold hum, "Hmpf."

Ban Xia had already taken Bao Shu to find Grandmother, while Yu Zichuan was off to be a bystander. Only Meng Qianqian, Lu Yuan, and Qing Shuang remained.

Meng Qianqian blinked and immediately deflected, "I was about to get him to spill the beans just now."

Lu Yuan said coldly, "So, did I interrupt your plan?"

"No, no," Meng Qianqian quickly flattered, "I can also guess a little. He should be here on Wanping Princess's orders to get the Golden Monkey Token from Lin Wan'er. Wanping Princess is sparing no effort to get the Grand Marshal."

She's so clever to shift the blame onto him.

Lu Yuan asked, "Isn't it because you used me as a bet?"

Meng Qianqian: "..."

Meng Qianqian smiled, "Speaking of which, isn't the Golden Monkey Token in the Grand Marshal's hands?"

Lu Yuan replied, "It's been returned."

He's not one of the Shier Wei, so holding a token is useless.

Meng Qianqian: "Oh. Then, shall we go to the banquet?"

Lu Yuan coldly said, "I don't feel like eating anymore."

Meng Qianqian was taken aback, "Hmm?"

Qing Shuang said, "The banquet is full of people insulting the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal doesn't want to lose face in front of his wife."

Meng Qianqian laughed, "So, the husband also wants to save face?"

Lu Yuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said expressionlessly, "I just find them annoying, and the food at the Lu family looks unappetizing!"

Meng Qianqian suppressed her laughter, "Yes, yes, yes. How can the Lu family's chefs compare to ours?"

Lu Yuan put his hands behind his back, "As long as you know."

Meng Qianqian curved her lips, "I'll go and check if Great-Grandmother has woken up. If she has, we can go home together."

Grandmother was deep within the inner quarters, and Lu Yuan couldn't pass through the yards of the Elder Madame and several other ladies, so he waited for her in the small garden.

Chenlong had disappeared.

Qing Shuang asked, "Should we tail him?"

Lu Yuan said, "You can't keep up with him."

Qing Shuang wanted to say something but stopped.

Whether they could keep up or not wasn't important; she mainly wanted to slip away to be a bystander.

Lu Yuan walked around the garden for a while.

Suddenly, a man in his twenties, dressed in luxurious brocade and satin, strode into the small garden.

Behind him, several tall and sturdy bodyguards followed.

"Oh, I was wondering who it was. Isn't this the famous Grand Marshal?"

He walked straight up to Lu Yuan, laughing heartily.

But if you looked closely, his gaze towards Lu Yuan was clearly disrespectful.

Lu Yuan turned around, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. "So it's Young Master Wei. Aren't you supposed to be in Qi Zhou, accompanying Elder Madam Wei? What brings you to the capital?"

Wei Mingxuan shook the headband on his head and spoke with arrogance, "My uncle returned to the capital, so I naturally came to see him! From now on, I'll be staying in the capital and won't leave!"

The 'uncle' he referred to was none other than Xun Prime Minister, who had just been bestowed the title of Duke.

Wei Mingxuan's smile turned cold as he said, "I heard that my cousin got beaten up at your place a few days ago. Are you going to be my uncle's lackey now?"

He had just arrived in the capital, and on the day when Xun Yu was beaten by the Grandmother into looking like the God of Longevity, Wei Mingxuan was still on the road. It was only after he entered the Duke's Mansion that he learned about his cousin's predicament.

The Retired Emperor had given his word not to harm the Grandmother, so naturally, Wei Mingxuan couldn't go against the Retired Emperor. Instead, he decided to take it out on Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's smile remained unchanged. "Young Master Wei, you're indeed well-informed."

Wei Mingxuan corrected him, "Call me Young Master Wei!"

Wei Mingxuan's mother was the younger sister of Xun Prime Minister, and he had lived in the Xun family for a few years during his childhood, so he and Lu Yuan had known each other since they were young.

However, back then, Lu Yuan was just a skinny stable boy.

Wei Mingxuan sighed mockingly, "I really miss those days. The horses you fed were always fatter and stronger than those fed by others. Ah, did you sleep well in the stable?"

Lu Yuan's smile deepened, "Of course, I slept well. If Young Master Wei admires it, I can build you an identical stable."

Despite Wei Mingxuan's repeated attempts to humiliate him, Lu Yuan remained unprovoked, which only frustrated Wei Mingxuan further.

Wei Mingxuan extended his index finger and rudely poked Lu Yuan's chest, "You listen to me, as long as you're my uncle's dog, you'll always be his dog!"

Qing Shuang took a step forward.

Wei Mingxuan showed no fear and swept a disdainful gaze over Qing Shuang before turning to Lu Yuan, "What? Do you dare to lay a hand on your master?"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Young Master Wei, you're being too harsh. I'll remember your words."

Only then did Wei Mingxuan retract his hand, satisfied. He wiped his hand with a handkerchief as if he had touched something filthy after touching Lu Yuan's finger.

"Ah, was that woman from your mansion?"

Wei Mingxuan pointed in the direction Meng Qianqian had left, "She has some looks. Send her to my carriage later."

Wei Mingxuan had been a pervert since childhood, taking advantage of maids in the Chancellor's Mansion. As he grew up, he became even more brazen, specifically targeting respectable women for his pleasure.

Before Lu Yuan could respond, Wei Mingxuan, growing impatient, turned to him, "Hey, did you hear me? Send that maid to me..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Lu Yuan lifted his foot and kicked him away without mercy.

Wei Mingxuan slammed into the stone table in the small garden, splitting it in half. He then fell to the ground, unable to get up due to the pain.

The bodyguards were shocked and drew their swords, rushing towards Lu Yuan. Qing Shuang swiftly moved to intercept them, engaging in combat.

Lu Yuan walked step by step towards Wei Mingxuan, looking down at him with no trace of politeness in his eyes.

Wei Mingxuan's body twitched, and he struggled to lift his head, looking at Lu Yuan in disbelief, "You... you dare... to lay a hand on me..."

"Which hand?" Lu Yuan asked.

Lu Yuan's foot slowly pressed down on Wei Mingxuan's right index finger.

Wei Mingxuan suddenly panicked, "Lu Yuan, what are you doing?"

Lu Yuan smiled, his smile captivating, "Just drawing some blood."

Lu Lingxiao: What are you doing?! This is my wedding banquet, my wedding banquet! Don't cause trouble!
