Unless his heart belonged to someone else.
Presumably, at that time, the Mu family's Haitang already had someone she loved deeply, so she could not accept the Emperor's betrothal.
Lu Tang glanced at Yuan Bao. The little fellow's eyes were bright as he stood there obediently.
Thinking of Yuan Bao's background and the blood-red jade pendant, Lu Tang frowned. Who was the person that Mu Haitang loved deeply? Because of this man, the Mu family's Haitang could not accept the Emperor's betrothal, but she could not refuse, so she begged Di Wanye to break off the engagement.
However, Di Wanye was the Crown Prince and had never been despised like this before, so the marriage contract was not canceled until Mu Haitang left the brothel…
In this way, the royal family would no longer be able to accept a tainted woman as the Crown Princess. The Mu family's Begonia was broken off as she wished, but her reputation was ruined. Then, was the matter of the brothel four years ago directed by the Mu family's Begonia, or was she framed? Thinking of this, Lu Tang shook her head. The reputation of a woman like that was extremely important. She would definitely not do such a thing. Otherwise, she would not have taken the risk to beg the Crown Prince. She would definitely have been framed.
……
Lu Tang's mind spun quickly. She thought of what Jiang Zihao said just now. Di Wanye lost all her face because of the annulment letter from Haitang of the Mu family. Later, he took revenge. Was the so-called revenge referring to the annulment letter that added fuel to the fire after the incident at the brothel, or was it Di Wanye who directed Haitang of the Mu family to enter the brothel by accident? Lu Tang fell into a conspiracy theory.
The more Di Wanye looked at him, the more she felt that he was a vicious and perverted despicable person.
Di Wanye had always been sharp. He sensed Lu Tang's gaze and turned his head to meet Lu Tang's ice-cold eyes. Although it was only a flash, he saw it clearly. Di Wanye narrowed her eyes. Lu Tang had already retracted her gaze, as if that cold gaze was just an illusion.
But Di Wanye knew that it wasn't.
A layer of anger surged up in his chest. Mu Haitang, what right do you have to look at me like this?
Bang!
The glass teacup in his hand was instantly crushed, and blood dripped out. "Master."
"Cousin."
His subordinates, An Jiu and Jiang Zihao, rushed forward. Di Wanye's expression was cold as he took the handkerchief from An Jiu and wrapped it around his hand. His entire body was filled with a chilling murderous aura.
Mu AoTian pondered for a moment. Did he say something wrong just now? Had he offended the crown prince? Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard the Crown Prince's face turn cold and he spoke with the aura of the King of Hell," I don't want to talk about the past. I have nothing to do with Eldest Miss Mu. The marriage contract has long been nullified. From now on, men and women have nothing to do with each other. But…" He paused and then continued," But Prince Mu, four years later, your daughter provoked me…How should we settle this matter?"”
Mu AoTian was also shocked by Di Wanye's murderous aura, especially when he looked at his bloody hands. He thought to himself, This Crown Prince has always been hiding his true colors. Why is he so murderous now?
"What does Your Highness mean?"
Mu Aotian asked.
"Thousand Year Lotus."
These three words brought the matter back to its original state.
Mu Aotian opened his mouth. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Tang stood up and patted Mu Aotian's hand to appease him. He took a step forward and said," Your Highness, you used a non-existent Thousand Year Lotus to frame me. I've never even seen what you're talking about.”
Lu Tang narrowed her eyes and said coldly. In front of Di Wanye, she would never admit the existence of the Thousand Year Lotus. But after she left the Crown Prince's residence, she would tell Mu Aotian the truth and not hide it from him. She did not want to let down this trust.
"Huh? You still don't admit it? Mu Haitang, I know it's you. I keep the Thousand Year Lotus close to me. You're the only one who got close to me.”
When Jiang Zihao heard Lu Tang's denial, he did not wait for Di Wanye to speak before he jumped out and shouted.
Lu Tang held Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun down and said softly," Father, Big Brother, let me settle this myself."”
His voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm.
Therefore, Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun did not say anything. They looked at the person in front of them. A moment ago, she was crying and complaining about her grievances. At this moment, she seemed to have changed into another person. Her appearance did not change, but her temperament had changed. She was a little fierce, making them unable to look away.
After four years, the Mu family's servant girl had changed a lot. She was different from the gentle and dignified girl from before, but she was more dazzling and charming.
Lu Tang lifted her foot and walked slowly towards Jiang Zihao.
The two of them were very close to each other. Her red lips were slightly parted, and her voice was gentle." Three days ago, Yuan Bao and I were in the first canyon of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Cuifeng Valley. We encountered an assassin who tried to assassinate you and you were seriously injured. Later on, it was us, mother and son, who saved your life, right?”
Gulp.
Jiang Zihao looked at Lu Tang and couldn't help but gulp.
Here it comes again.
This woman had a soul-stirring face, especially her eyes. Her eyebrows were languid, like a cat preparing to sleep. Her eyelashes were very long, like a small fan in the blink of an eye, casting a faint shadow. Because she had shed some tears previously, her eyes were now moist and had a light brown color. She was so beautiful that the world lost its color.
He was originally aggressive, but now that he met the woman's eyes, he felt his heart pounding and his mind was in a mess. He couldn't remember anything.
She pinched her butt hard and came back to her senses.
This woman was using her honey trap on him again.
He quickly turned his head to look at the crown prince's cousin. When he met that pair of cold eyes, he was indeed much more sober from the cold.
She immediately cleared her throat." Yes, that's what happened.”
"Later, at your request, they drove you to the inhabited town, right?”
"Yes…!" However, your son charged me 10,000 Gold.
"On the donkey cart, I was sleeping the whole time. I didn't say more than five words to you, right?”
Lu Tang asked again.
Jiang Zihao rubbed his nose and thought back to the situation." Yes, we didn't talk much.”The woman in front of him was very cold and arrogant, completely ignoring him.
"Then did I take the initiative to have physical contact with you?”
Lu Tang asked again.
Jiang Zihao thought about it and blinked guiltily. Physical contact? He really didn't. Instead, he was the one who pretended to fall and stole her jade pendant.
"I don't have this either."
Jiang Zihao replied weakly.
After hearing Jiang Zihao's reply, Lu Tang nodded. In the next moment, her brown eyes turned frosty," So, Young Master Jiang, we saved your life and saved you from dying in a foreign land at such a young age. It's fine if you don't show gratitude, but you're repaying kindness with resentment and framing me, saying that I stole your Thousand Year Lotus?" Which eye of yours saw that I took it?”
Lu Tang's harsh question forced Jiang Zihao to step back. He blinked his eyes and felt extremely guilty.
Indeed, he didn't see anything and didn't catch anyone, but what the Crown Prince cousin said couldn't be wrong.
"Speak."
Lu Tang's words made Jiang Zihao freeze," Yes, my cousin said that you took it..."
Everyone was speechless.
He was a good hand at scamming his cousin.
