Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 224: Eldest Young Master’s Tears
Lu He pouted, her eyes misty, coquettishly saying, "Haven’t I already said it? I don’t want to follow this sickly man anymore. I’m willing to consort with you two gentlemen, but this place is too out of the way, and there’s no bed, it’s uncomfortable. Why don’t the three of us move elsewhere and have some real fun?"
The young lady was graceful and elegant, her coarse homespun dress couldn’t conceal her refined demeanor. Her distinctive oval face bore a faint smile, dimples discreetly playing on her cheeks, as tender and radiant as a flower.
A forced melon quenches thirst, but it’s not sweet.
It’s best when the young lady is willing~ 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Like a beauty of pearls and jade, Sun Lin, whose sharp features resembled a monkey, couldn’t care less, hastily suggesting, "Makes sense, why not go to our old place, it’s more convenient for whatever we plan to do there."
Zhang Dash, with his large nostrils, breathed heavily, urging, "Alright, what are we waiting for then? Let’s go quickly."
The old place he mentioned was a manor not far from here.
Sun Lin’s brother-in-law had acquired it through ill-gotten means.
An occasional opportunity, given as a gift to his brother-in-law.
First, try to lure the person away; the fish has taken the bait. Lu He breathed a sigh of relief, smiling, "Alright, before we go, I want to bid goodbye to this man who has lost his legs. After all, we’ve shared some feelings over the years, and I need to pack my clothes. From now on, I’ll stay by you two gentlemen’s side to serve you. This cripple, he’s not worth seeing."
"Very well, as you wish, but be quick." The beauty’s submission made Zhang Dash generous as well. His large nostrils flaring as he agreed.
"Thank you, sir."
She stood up resolutely and walked towards the horse-drawn carriage with the blue canopy and reddish-brown body.
The man sitting in the carriage had bloodshot, red-rimmed eyes, and his rounded nose was slightly red as if he was about to cry.
They looked at each other, their eyes meeting.
She pretended to glare at him fiercely, angrily scolding, "What are you looking at? I’m here to pack my clothes. From now on, I’ll be with these two men, living in luxury and finally getting rid of you. Move aside, I need to pack my things."
Agilely, she climbed onto the cart shaft, bypassed the man, and rummaged around in the carriage, making a clattering noise as she packed.
Zhang Dash and Sun Lin weren’t worried about her driving off. The rope tied to the tree was still fastened, and even if she attempted to drive the carriage away, they would intercept it immediately.
After a moment, Lu He descended from the carriage with a bundle. Before leaving, she didn’t look back, "You don’t need to wait for me anymore. From now on, you and I are strangers. You can’t protect me, nor can you do anything else. In the days to come, walk your path alone. Your presence here disgusts me. You should leave the city soon."
The days to come, walk your path alone. These few words were uttered with great difficulty.
The trio strode away.
They no longer cared about the carriage.
As their figures vanished, Zhao Jun’s eyes reddened, a tear welled from the corner of his eye, slowly trailing along the uneven scars, dripping and seeping into the wood—one, two, three, four drops...
Wearing a black robe, the man, standing eight feet tall, lay on the cart, crying uncontrollably.
With clenched fists, he struck the wooden board he lay upon, loathing his own helplessness.
"Clang, clang, clang..." Amidst his pounding, something was shaken loose, a distinctive, small sound reaching his ears.
This, it seemed, was the crisp sound of copper coins colliding~
Zhao Jun lifted the blue canopy, revealing a Ruyi Peony Embroidered Purse, along with the jade bracelet Lu He often hid in her bosom. As the canopy was lifted, light fell upon the Hollow Lotus Patterned White Jade Bracelet, clearly highlighting the purity of the mutton fat jade, the quality unparalleled.
She had left the Silver and the Mutton Fat Jade Bracelet behind, fully prepared to never return. Reflecting on the lady’s implication that he should quickly leave the city, surely, it was a plea for him to save his life.
