Chapter 379 You're quite loyal, good brother.
Lu Wei's body suddenly stiffened, and then he looked at her with a start.
His lips twitched, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
His fingers clenched unconsciously, and then he slowly tilted his head back.
Lu Yangyang asked, puzzled, "What are you doing?"
Lu Wei placed his finger on the corner of his lips, pushing them upwards, before lowering his head. "Oh, let me see if it's raining blood. Who was so foolish as to take you away?"
Lu Yangyang snorted: "Then you'll be so jealous, of course you're the best person in the world."
Lu Wei: "You really know how to pat yourself on the back."
"That means I am gold, and gold is loved everywhere." Lu Yangyang grinned at him.
Lu Wei muttered, "You really have no integrity whatsoever. Sigh, I shouldn't have told you that I would repay you after I became the top scholar in the imperial examination."
Lu Yangyang looked bewildered: "What are you going to repay me for? Didn't you say you'd be my slave if you became the top scholar? You don't mean you're planning to repay me with your body, do you? Don't even think about it. We're too close. I see you no differently than I see Gou Dan from the village. I've even seen him naked. It's just that you've always been stubborn. Even if I pulled you out of the river, you wouldn't take your clothes off. Every time someone bullies you, I have to stand up for you."
Lu Wei covered her face with one hand to block the light in her eyes, and stretched out the other hand: "Stop, stop, Lu Yangyang, you're a grown woman now, you've come of age and are married, don't always speak so recklessly."
Lu Yangyang rested her chin on her hand and looked at him with a smile: "Hey, Lu Sanshui, you wouldn't be worried that I won't be able to get married even if I go to the capital, would you? So you're planning to marry me after you become the top scholar in the imperial examination? So that people will know that even if my face is ruined, I can still marry a top scholar! If that's what you're thinking, then you're quite loyal, good brother."
Lu Wei silently lowered his hands from his face, realizing that talking to her was anything but heartbreaking: "..."
"But aren't you afraid your mother will find out what you think and beat you to death? She's counting on you to achieve great success and marry the princess so she can slap your faithless father's face!" Lu Yangyang looked at him leisurely.
Lu Wei's lips twitched: "So you really did go to the capital. You've been reading too many storybooks, haven't you? We grew up together. If you really didn't have a good time in the capital, how could I just sit idly by?"
Lu Yangyang stared at him.
She recalled her dream. In the dream, after "she" went to the capital, she never saw her old friends from Qinghe Village again, and she never saw Lu Wei again until her death. But given her friendship with Lu Wei, if Lu Wei knew she was not doing well, he would definitely help her. So why did she never see him again? Was it too late, or did she not want to be a burden to Lu Wei and never ask him for help?
Seeing that Lu Yangyang looked somewhat dazed, Lu Wei waved his hand in front of her eyes and asked, "What are you daydreaming about? Are you that touched?"
Lu Yangyang asked, seemingly jokingly, "Lu Wei, if I were to die in the capital, do you know what would happen afterward?"
Lu Wei's expression suddenly changed, and then he glared at her: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you really die in the capital, then when I pass the imperial examination with top honors, I will definitely overturn the entire capital and avenge you."
Lu Yangyang nodded: "That makes sense. By the way, which year was the imperial examination?"
"Don't worry, the imperial examinations will be held next autumn and the year after next spring. I'll definitely be the top scholar then, and you'll still have time to regret it," Lu Wei replied.
Lu Yangyang sighed: "I see."
It seems it was too late.
But it's good that she knows now. Even if she ends up like she did in her dream, if His Highness finds out, he will definitely give her justice. Her friend who became the top scholar in the imperial examination will also help her get revenge.
As long as she is still Lu Yangyang, she will not be left with nothing.
Sheng Yunzhu could take away her identity and the life she thought belonged to her, but none of that matters. What matters is that she walked her own path, and that's what truly belongs to her.
All fantasies and talk of past and present lives are nothing but a dream, not to be taken seriously.
Lu Yangyang smiled brightly, her eyes gleaming.
Lu Wei was momentarily dazzled by the light in her eyes and quickly lowered his gaze.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, has the scar on your face healed?" Lu Wei looked her over and abruptly changed the subject.
"You mean this?" Lu Yangyang took out a handkerchief, then pulled a small bottle from her bag. She opened the bottle, dripped a drop of oil onto the handkerchief, poured some water on it, and gently rubbed it on her scar a few times. She then wiped off the beauty cream, revealing her original skin and her now quite beautiful scar.
Her real skin was fairer than it is now, and the bright red tattoos on her flawless skin looked as if they were naturally there, strikingly beautiful.
Lu Wei was in a daze for a moment. If he hadn't been so familiar with her and if her facial features hadn't changed much, he really wouldn't have recognized her as the Lu Yangyang from before.
It seems she gained a lot from her trip to the capital.
Indeed, with a personality like hers, she can thrive no matter where she is or what place she is in.
"See? This is Little Fairy Doctor's invention. With it, it will be much easier for me to disguise myself in the future," Lu Yangyang said happily to Lu Wei.
“Wait a minute,” Lu Wei raised his hand, “After saying so much, there’s something strange. Did you always know where your aunt was? That’s why you haven’t reacted at all for so long. That’s not like you.”
Lu Yangyang blinked guiltily, "I do know, but I only found out recently. My aunt has been taken to a safe place. It's a long story, and I can't explain it to you right now. Let's talk about it slowly when we have time later. By the way, what are your plans for the future? If you're taking the imperial examination next year, are you going to study in seclusion? How about I point you in the right direction? I guarantee you'll become the top scholar."
"tell me the story."
"The former Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, Grand Tutor Lan, is my maternal grandfather. He was an exceptionally capable man. Now he has returned to Jiangling to retire. I'll have someone send you there so you can study under him for a while. Just think, with the most learned person in the world teaching you, how could you not become the top scholar? If you really fail, there's probably something fishy going on. Just wait until there's no fishy going on before you try again," Lu Yangyang said.
Lu Wei stared at her in shock.
When Lu Yangyang left, she only said that she was going to the capital to see her biological parents, without saying which family she was going to. In her letters, she never mentioned her biological parents. He wanted to ask, but the tacit understanding they had built over the years told him that she had a reason for not wanting to say. If he asked, she would surely make up a whole story, not a single word of the truth.
Based on the clues left by the He family back then, he only knew that it was the Duke's Mansion in the capital, a high-ranking and wealthy family, but he didn't know any other details.
But as a scholar, how could he not know about Lan Zigu, the current Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince? In fact, he even knew that when the Crown Prince was deposed some time ago, Grand Tutor Lan had committed suicide by crashing into a pillar in the Golden Palace, and all scholars in the world admired him.
and so……
Lu Wei's heart skipped a beat: "The person you married is... His Highness the Crown Prince?"
