Chapter 315 Yu Jing's Final Effort
Lou Xiao looked worried when he returned home.
I couldn't even hear what Lou Hong was saying.
When she sat in Yusheng Courtyard with a sword in her hand, she realized that there was one more person in the courtyard.
Yu Jing.
"Why are you here?" Lou Xiao was upset and spoke in a somewhat stiff tone.
"If you have any questions, just talk to Lou Hong."
Yu Jing whispered, "I told him, and I came in only because you didn't object."
That's what she didn't hear.
Lou Xiao thought about it and roughly knew what it was about. "If you don't want to enter the palace, I have already crossed out your name at the etiquette office. You can get married and no one will say anything."
Let’s not talk about the rest.
"Okay, thank you, sir." Yu Jing bowed first, then mustered up the courage to talk about the purpose of his trip.
"Even though the name has been drawn, it is still a crime committed by His Majesty. The entire Yu family is terrified and don't know how to deal with it from now on."
Lou Xiao was puzzled. "Don't you have someone from the Yu family in the court? Just do your job well and share the worries for His Majesty."
"Then...can I still find a good marriage?" Yu Jing looked at Lou Xiao with inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
"I am not as capable as Li Huaiqing, and the Yu family does not expect me to become a general or a prime minister.
I knew from a young age that my existence was to help my sister."
Just like Lou Hong was married into another family and became someone else's from then on.
"I had originally resigned myself to my fate, but that Japanese came here to support the old lady - I didn't expect to lose my heart."
Yu Jing lowered his eyebrows and smiled pitifully, "They probably told you about it. I know you refused, but I just wanted to ask in person.
Is there really no possibility at all? "
Lou Xiao looked away without saying anything, but Yu Jing did not give up easily.
“I know that the Yu family is not good enough to be your legal husband, but I can be your concubine… I won’t compete with Li Huaiqing, and I can’t win against him.
But he promised me that it all depends on your opinion."
What does this have to do with Li Huaiqing? !
Lou Xiao asked blankly, "Why did you go to see Li Huaiqing?"
"Many people know that you are wearing his jade pendant. He is indeed a good candidate for the first wife."
Yu Jing didn't remember saying anything bad about Li Huaiqing, only that Li Huaiqing said he would not interfere with who Lou Xiao dated.
That’s enough to make Yu Jing remember his kindness.
"What Zhengfu? Where did this come from?" Lou Xiao now understood why Xiao Zhengdu reacted so strongly.
How could a jade pendant cause so many misunderstandings?
But this is not the most important thing. Lou Xiao didn't understand where Yu Jing's obsession came from. When she was about to ask, she stopped and looked at the entrance of Yushengyuan.
"Jade pendant? But this one?"
Why did Xiao Zhengdu come so early?
He strode towards her from the entrance of Yusheng Courtyard and showed her the jade pendant in his hand.
Smiling, he asked Yu Jing, "Look, is it this?"
How could Li Huaiqing's jade pendant be in the hands of King Youshan!
Stunned Yu Jing took a while to realize that he should salute King Youshan.
"Yu Jing of the Yu family greets His Royal Highness King Youshan."
Xiao Zhengdu gave Lou Xiao a meaningful look and said, "Get up. What did you just say, Zhengfu? Li Huaiqing?"
How could this make him speak?
Originally, Yu Jing had mustered up the courage to talk about this matter with Lou Xiao.
How dare he bring it up when King Youshan is present?
"It's widely rumored outside that the Duke of Zhenguo and Li Huaiqing..." Yu Jing was vague.
He half raised his head and looked at the jade pendant in Xiao Zhengdu's hand. It was indeed owned by Li Huaiqing, and he was also confused.
Shouldn't it be on Lou Xiao?
The rumor was credible, saying that the Duke of Zhenguo was very extravagant, and only had a jade pendant as an ornament on his waist.
This shows how much it is cherished.
He looked at Lou Xiao carefully. Although she was still wearing gorgeous clothes, her hair crown had been removed and her wrists were empty.
There was nothing around the waist.
It seems that the jade pendant that belonged to King Youshan is really Li Huaiqing's.
"It seems that I am confused."
No matter what the truth is, Yu Jing can only say that he is confused.
But if things were not what he thought, why didn't he explain it when he went to find Li Huaiqing?
Are you laughing at him?
Yu Jing's face suddenly became hot, thinking about how ridiculous he had made those words in front of Li Huaiqing.
Just like now, Lou Xiao might blame herself for talking nonsense, so how could she mention anything about serving the emperor and her husband?
Yu Jing said stumblingly, "Since, since His Royal Highness Prince Youshan is looking for you, I will withdraw.
Please don't worry too much about what I just said. I was just talking nonsense and lost my mind."
After Yu Jing bowed to both of them, he added in a low voice to Lou Xiao,
"But apart from that, these are all my sincere words. My Lord, please consider it... I am sincere!"
Xiao Zhengdu sneered at an angle where Yu Jing couldn't see. It was really bold of him to act like this in front of him.
Lou Xiao didn't want to hurt Yu Jing's face in front of Xiao Zhengdu, so she tried to persuade him.
"You are young and the Yu family is well-known in the capital. Now that you have your name crossed out from the book of the Ministry of Rites, you can find a woman who understands you and supports you and marry her. From now on, you can love each other and live in harmony.
A moment of confusion does not represent sincerity. There is still a long way to go in the future. Don’t make a decision that will cause you regret for the rest of your life because of an impulse.”
"You will regret it if you do nothing." Yu Jing murmured, "At least in the future, I won't complain about my cowardice. No matter what the result is, I can continue on the next journey."
He looked at Lou Xiao deeply, and finally took his leave.
Xiao Zhengdu looked at Yu Jing's back, holding the jade pendant tightly in his hand, and said to Lou Xiao,
"Look, this is the consequence of casually wearing someone else's jade pendant. You only wore it for half a day, and the whole city is already in an uproar."
Lou Xiao didn't seem to realize the importance of the question. "How can these people be so idle that they care about what jewelry others wear?"
Xiao Zhengdu was furious, "This is not an ordinary piece of jewelry, this is Li Huaiqing's personal jade pendant, which he has worn for many years!"
"It's just a jade pendant, what does it represent?" Lou Xiao touched the sword in his hand.
"Didn't you say you would return it to him for me? Why are you still keeping it? Are you trying to steal it? This won't do."
Sometimes Xiao Zhengdu really wanted to knock her head open to see what she was thinking.
"Who would want Li Huaiqing's jade pendant? I just didn't find the opportunity."
"I know where the Li Mansion is. If you don't know how to return it, give it to me and I'll return it to him."
Lou Xiao was still struggling with this matter and reached out to get the jade pendant back.
Xiao Zhengdu refused, and the two of them started to argue with each other.
When Yu Jing finally stepped out of Yusheng Courtyard, he looked back and saw the two of them flirting with each other.
His body shook, as if he understood something. He let out a breath, feeling even more depressed.
