Chapter 304: Lady Beauty and Daughter
"Mr. Chang'an, you came to my place so early, is there something important?"
Lu Buwei walked to the main seat, and the old servant followed Lu Buwei closely, looking at Cheng Jiao with fear.
He had a very deep impression on the scene that night when Cheng Jiao killed the old woman of the Yin family in the blink of an eye.
Yan Fei just glanced at the old slave with a wary look in his eyes and frowned slightly. Is he a one-armed man?
Although the old slave put on the mechanical prosthetic limbs made by Gongshu Jia and covered them with long sleeves, how could he hide it from Yan Fei, who had amazing perception?
Cheng Jiao smiled faintly and said, "It's been two days. I should also set off for the Kingdom of Yan. If I delay any further, my brother will be unhappy."
Lu Buwei had no idea what Cheng Jiao was going to do.
Whether you want to leave early or late is none of my business.
"Oh? When will Chang'an-jun leave?"
Before he had time to send a message, he used his connections in Zhao State and made some arrangements to achieve his goal of keeping Cheng Jiao in Zhao State.
For him, the most important thing was to send Niangrong out of Qin first and ensure her safety.
Everything else is secondary.
Lu Niangrong quietly approached the hall under the eyes of dozens of experts, wanting to eavesdrop.
Dozens of people looked at each other in bewilderment. The order they received was that no one should be allowed in. If anyone was found, they would be killed without mercy.
But they were not stupid. This was Lu Buwei's only daughter. Not to mention killing her, if they scared her, they would lose their lives.
They could only let Lu Niangrong do it with the tone of "open and aboveboard, safe journey" while crouching and eavesdropping with her ear tilted.
The old slave sensed someone approaching and sensed it carefully. His eyelids twitched and his expression changed slightly.
It turned out to be Niang Rong.
The old slave subconsciously glanced at Lu Buwei.
Lu Buwei still had his unchanging smile on his face, waiting for Cheng Jiao's answer.
He was not good at martial arts, so he did not notice that Lu Niangrong was eavesdropping, nor did he see the change in the old servant's eyes behind him.
"As early as tomorrow, as late as the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Jiao did not consider himself an outsider. In front of Lu Buwei, he ate a piece of peach with relish. The taste was very similar to that of Lu Yuebai from Nanyang, South Korea.
Upon hearing this, Lu Buwei calculated the day it would take Cheng Jiao to arrive in Handan.
If you don't turn and keep going, you can arrive in about eight to ten days.
For him, time is tight and it is difficult to plan. But it is not impossible, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
"Haha, Lord Chang'an is about to go on a diplomatic mission to help the king. I am ashamed, Lord Chang'an, if you need anything, just let me know. As the prime minister of Qin, I should do my part for the country."
Cheng Jiao complained in his heart, I want you to give it to me, 200,000 gold coins?
"Since the Prime Minister has said so, it is difficult for Cheng Jiao to refuse, so..."
Lu Buwei was speechless. He was just being polite, couldn't he hear it?
Before Cheng Jiao opened his mouth to ask for someone, a maid walked in quietly.
Interrupting Cheng Jiao's spell made Lu Buwei secretly happy.
"what's up?"
The pretty maid bowed respectfully and said, "Young Master Wang Li of the Wang family is invited to come."
Lu Buwei rarely showed a sincere smile: "So soon? Please come in."
Then he glanced at Cheng Jiao without leaving a trace.
"Please forgive me for making fun of you, Lord Chang'an. I have chosen a good husband for my daughter. I am sure you have heard of him. He is Wang Li, the grandson of General Wang Jian."
Lü Buwei specifically emphasized that with Cheng Jiao around, he didn't need to say much. That night, everyone in Xianyang City and the royal palace knew that he intended to form an in-law relationship with the Wang family.
In this way, Niangrong's departure would not arouse too many people's suspicion.
Cheng Jiao, who was interrupted, curled his lips and said, "Prime Minister Lu, young people need to be free to fall in love. What era is it now? Are you still thinking about arranged marriages?"
Yan Fei, who had been listening, couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Lu Buwei was retorted by the scoundrel Cheng Jiao, he was very well-mannered and did not get angry.
He knew that Cheng Jiao didn't want to see him marry into the Wang family.
If this really happened, it would be extremely disadvantageous to the King of Qin and Cheng Jiao's faction.
Niangrong, who was eavesdropping in the dark in the hall, felt so happy.
I totally agree with what Cheng Jiao said. The old man is very bad. He is so old, but he still arranges marriage! Her mother Rong wants to be in love freely! She will never compromise!
Wang Li, who was brought in by the maid, was in high spirits.
Since he knew that Lu Buwei intended to let Niangrong marry him, he was very happy.
He likes that girl with a unique personality.
There was still more than an hour before the agreed time, but he couldn't wait and wanted to see Lu Niangrong earlier.
"Uncle, I'm sorry for coming early."
Wang Li saluted in a serious manner, putting away his usual casual personality and being very polite. "Haha, what's wrong with that? My dear nephew, you came at the right time."
Compared to his indifference towards Cheng Jiao, Lu Buwei was very enthusiastic towards Wang Li.
He needed to create the impression that he, Lu Buwei, was very eager to marry into the Wang family.
Wang Li was flattered and said, "Uncle, there is no need to do this. It is embarrassing for me."
It’s a pity that there were no melon seeds, and Cheng Jiao really wanted to move a small stool to watch the show.
The young man at this time is 70% similar to Wang Li in the original novel. He has a handsome face and can be called a handsome guy.
Lu Niangrong, who was eavesdropping, felt unhappy when she heard Wang Li coming.
Especially when he heard that Wang Li and his father were having a pleasant conversation, he felt something was wrong.
If this goes on, does she really have to marry this dude?
Wang Li talked to Lu Buwei for a few words before he noticed Cheng Jiao and Yan Fei beside Cheng Jiao.
Yan Fei didn't care what Wang Li and Lu Buwei said.
With a smile on her face, she gently fed Cheng Jiao some fruit.
What a beautiful woman.
Wang Li couldn't help but stare in amazement.
I believe I have seen many beautiful women, but this is the first time I have seen a woman with such a unique temperament and charm that is completely different from Niang Rong.
Niang Rong, who was secretly glancing at Wang Li in the hall, saw him like this and cursed in her heart, thinking that he was just as lustful as Cheng Jiao.
He is not as good as Cheng Jiao. At least he is lustful openly, unlike Wang Li who is secretive about it.
When Lu Buwei saw Wang Li like this, he was unhappy even though he had no plans to marry Niang Rong.
After all, in the eyes of others, Old Lu really wanted to marry Niang Rong to the Wang family.
Isn't Wang Li slapping him in the face?
He coughed loudly, waking up Wang Li, who had never seen a woman before.
"This is Lord Chang'an, and this is Lord Dong from the Yin-Yang School."
Wang Li knew that he was being rude.
When he heard that the person in front of him was Dong Jun of the Yin-Yang School, his mind became active.
As for Chang'an Jun Chengjiao, he was simply ignored by him.
I had heard that Niang Rong often went in and out of Cheng Jiao's mansion, so I was very unhappy with Cheng Jiao.
Seeing such a beautiful woman again, serving Cheng Jiao like a beloved wife, he felt so happy.
"So it's Master Cheng Jiao. Wang Li has met Lord Chang'an. I once heard an interesting story about Lord Chang'an in the Xianyang market. I thought it was nonsense, but yesterday I heard my father say that Lord Chang'an generously donated 200,000 gold coins to the Qin State. I couldn't help but wonder if this story was true or not."
Cheng Jiao was chewing the peach fed by Yan Fei. Looking at Wang Li's expression, he knew that he was here to provoke him.
He said casually, "If you have something to say, just say it. If you keep dithering, you are not a real man."
Wang Li had to remain polite because Lu Buwei was here.
But he didn't care about Lu Buwei, and would not give Wang Li any face.
At this time, Lu Buwei calmed down and said nothing, allowing Wang Li and Cheng Jiao to confront each other.
It would also be a good choice to make the Wang family and Cheng Jiao become enemies.
Wang Li was secretly angry, but he remained polite on the surface.
He is here for a blind date and cannot lose his composure in front of his future father-in-law.
"Haha, it's nothing serious, just some gossip. Some gossipers in the city said that Chang'an Jun went to South Korea, and South Korea not only gave Chang'an Jun another 200,000 gold coins, but the King of Han also offered his daughter and beautiful wife to Chang'an Jun for his enjoyment.
It is quite intriguing. Those who are curious about this admire him very much and want to become Chang'an Jun's retainer to learn from his experience."
Cheng Jiao almost spit out the peach in his mouth.
I thought I was exposed, but then I thought it was probably the person who arranged it. I didn’t expect this to actually happen.
Mo Ya and Bai Feng are really something. They didn’t even report such a big thing to him.
He didn't even know that he had so many "fans" in Xianyang City.
Maybe Mo Ya and Bai Feng also thought that the matter was too outrageous and didn't tell him.
Yan Fei remained calm, which disappointed Wang Li, who had been observing secretly.
I thought that if I secretly said a few bad things about Cheng Jiao, Yan Fei would stop feeding Cheng Jiao, but it turned out to be the same as if I hadn't said anything.
Yan Fei gently wiped the fruit stains from the corners of Cheng Jiao's mouth.
Don’t say that what Wang Li said was false. Even if it was true, it wouldn’t be Cheng Jiao who suffered a loss.
As a member of the Yin-Yang School, Dong Jun has long since stopped caring about worldly views.
As long as Cheng Jiao likes, she can even go and personally kidnap the King of Han's daughter, the beautiful wife, to make Cheng Jiao happy.
It’s a pity that Wang Li couldn’t hear Yan Fei’s voice, otherwise he would have beaten his chest and stamped his feet, jealous of the geological wall separating.
How can such a beauty be so tolerant?
