The Haunting Prince Pei!
After selling the musks, saving people, and obtaining the knife set she had been longing for, Lin Suisui was in a good mood when she came out of the medicine shop.
She rubbed the brocade box where the knives were placed and looked up at the setting sun. Only then did she realize that she had not eaten anything for the entire day in the medicine shop!
Since she hadn’t eaten, then…
“Husband, have you been guarding outside all day?!” Lin Suisui turned around and asked Lu Ze.
Lu Ze nodded and said calmly, “Yes, I was afraid something would happen to you.”
He would support Lin Suisui’s decision, but it did not mean that he could believe in others. There were many evil people in this world who repaid kindness with ingratitude!
If anything really happened to the pregnant woman inside, who knew if those servants would blame the little girl in front of them in order to survive?!
Therefore, he had to keep an eye on things outside!
“Then, you haven’t eaten until now?!” Lin Suisui blamed herself. She had been so focused on caring for the patient inside that she had forgotten to tell him to take good care of himself!
Thinking of today’s income, the little girl was overjoyed again. She reached out and tugged at Lu Ze’s sleeve. She looked at him with sparkling eyes and suggested, “Why don’t I treat you to something delicious?!”
Lu Ze looked down at the happy little girl in front of him. Suddenly, he felt a hint of sweetness in his heart.
Could this be joy?!
He nodded. Although he was not a greedy person, it was rare for the little girl to be so happy. Lu Ze had no intention of discouraging her, so he naturally followed suit.
However, Lin Suisui’s happiness did not last long.
Lu Ze was dressed ordinarily. In addition, in order to save people previously, she was stained with blood. As a result, when she wanted to enter restaurants, she was rejected a few times by the waiters who was in charge of serving the customers.
Were they that snobbish?!
Lin Suisui was furious, but she knew that there was no point in arguing with these waiters. However, she was still angry. She could not do anything else, so she turned around and spat at the restaurant before turning around indignantly.
The little girl originally planned to treat Lu Zhou to a good meal.
After all, he was the Crown Prince previously. He had lived in the wild for so long. He had really suffered a lot! But in the end…
“I’m sorry. It seems that I won’t be able to treat you to good food today!” Lin Suisui looked back at Lu Ze in frustration, as if she was an innocent and pitiful child who had been caught doing something wrong.
“It’s fine. I think the shredded chicken noodles at the alley across from us seem to taste good. We should eat a bowl of noodles.” Lu Ze looked at Lin Suisui’s animated expression and felt amused.
Previously, when the noblewoman of the capital entered the palace, they would always look calm in front of him. Unexpectedly, even though the little girl in front of him was wearing an actual mask, she had a unique liveliness that made people unable to look away.
Hearing Lu Ze’s suggestion, Lin Suisui looked up at the alley opposite and immediately felt that it was a good suggestion.
However, just as the two of them made up their minds to go, they were suddenly blocked by Qian He.
“My master said that if the two of you want to have dinner at a restaurant, you can put whatever you eat today on our his tab. Just treat it as a return gift from the two hares we received a few days ago.”
“No need. Thank him for his kindness, but we’ve already decided to eat noodles. We’ll go back to camp after eating a bowl of noodles.
The prince has worked hard for us refugees all the way. It’s only right for us to show our gratitude to him. How could we dare to let him spend money?!”
Lin Suisui waved her hand and politely rejected Qian He’s invitation. Then, she pulled Lu Ze and quickly left.
“That man is like a ghost!” When the two of them reached the noodle stall, Lin Suisui turned around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was chasing after them. She couldn’t help but mutter, “We really can’t shake him off!”
Lu Ze did not reply. He only changed the topic at the right time. “It’s getting late. Let’s hurry up and finish our noodles and go back! We didn’t buy anything today. I’m afraid we’ll have to come to the city again tomorrow morning.”
“Oh, right! I almost forgot about the serious matter!” Lin Suisui quickly pulled Lu Ze into the stall and found an empty table to sit at. Then, she ordered two bowls of shredded chicken noodles and continued to mutter to Lu Ze, “Speaking of which, I’m really hungry. I was worried that the woman would be frightened, so I kept comforting her that the fetal position was right, but in fact, it was still a little off!
Her body was already weak to begin with. With such a collision, she might faint from exhaustion if she was not careful. If that happened, the child would definitely be in danger!
“Fortunately, that woman was tough and worked hard to cooperate in order not to cause trouble. That’s why there was such a happy ending!”
Lin Suisui told him about how she had treated Sun Wan’er today. At the same time, she did not forget to tell him the entire story. When she spoke of what had happened, she could not help but scold Third Young Master Wang indignantly, “Most of those who preach righteousness are ordinary people in humble occupations, while intellectuals often do things that go against their conscience and betray their spouses!”
“What’s wrong with intellectuals? Tell me, perhaps I can help you vent your anger?”
Pei Qian, who had come over at some point, happened to hear Lin Suisui’s complaint. He chuckled and pulled out the bench beside Lin Suisui before sitting down at the table.
“Prince, why are you here?!”
As soon as Pei Qian arrived, Lin Suisui jumped up from her seat like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She stared in disbelief at the man sitting beside her in the simple shed while still looking just as noble. She felt a chill run down her spine.
“If you don’t accept my invitation to a restaurant for dinner, I have no choice but to come over personally!” Pei Qian casually took a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks bucket on the table and played with them with his fingertips. He looked at Lin Suisui, who had already moved to Lu Ze’s side, and smiled. “Besides, I’m also very curious about what kind of bowl of noodles can make you refuse my invitation, so I want to come over and try it!”
Lu Ze stood up calmly and reached out to help Lin Suisui sit beside him. Seeing that she had calmed down a little, he slowly sat down beside her. Then, he met Pei Qian’s compelling gaze and said word by word, “Prince, she’s been tired all day and hasn’t had time to eat anything. Can you let her finish this bowl of noodles first?!”freew(e)bnovel.(c)om
