Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 165 The Arrogant Woman

It was rare for Lu Nanzhi to get up early and arrive at the Red Dressing Pavilion. He was about to open the door to do business when he noticed someone behind him and turned around vigilantly.

Seeing the person coming, he said coldly: "Mr. Xu... No, I should call you Xu Tanhua now. Why is Xu Tanhua here?"

"Miss Lu, I didn't hide it on purpose." Xu Beiting thought that she cared about the exam, so he hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Xu, I take you as a friend, but if you dare to use my family, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Xu Beiting looked at the woman who was as cold as ice in front of him, and suddenly felt a little heartbroken, but he was helpless, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Lu, you misunderstood, I never thought of using you."

Lu Nanzhi snorted coldly, "It's better like this! Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about my friends."

Xu Beiting's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Anyway, listen to me first."

"Needless to say." Lu Nanzhi said coldly, "There is nothing to talk about between us."

"Miss Lu"

Lu Nanzhi closed the door coldly.

Looking at the closed door, Xu Beiting could only sigh and left the Hongzhuang Pavilion.

He didn't go far, when suddenly the road ahead was blocked, he walked around the person in front of him, and a crisp voice rang in his ears.

"Are you willing to give up the woman you like like this?"

Xu Beiting paused and looked at the woman beside him.

"What do you want to say?"

Xiao Mengying raised her head and looked directly at him, and said slowly: "The woman you like is Lu Nanzhi, right? Since you like it, why don't you try your best to get it."

Xu Beiting's eyes flickered darkly, but he quickly calmed down.

"Whether I like it or not is my business, it has nothing to do with you." Xu Beiting quickly recognized the woman in front of him as the princess of Beiling Kingdom. It is best not to deal with this kind of person, otherwise the charge of treason will easily fall on him. .

Xiao Mengying smiled brightly, and said mockingly: "If this princess were you, you would definitely find a way to get what you want, including people. If you have made up your mind, come to the post station to find this princess at any time."

After speaking, Xiao Mengying turned around and left Shi Shiran.

Looking at the back of the woman who was drifting away, Xu Beiting's eyes were unpredictable.

Princess Beiling is right, if he wants to get what he wants, he has to be desperate, but he also knows that he can't act rashly now.

……

The warm sun shines into the room, and the warmth of the room gradually rises.

Shen Lanze leaned over the table and looked at the file in his hand. Although the emperor did not give him an actual official position, he gave him a pass token, allowing him to walk freely in the palace.

He was also ordered to investigate some old cases.

Concubine Song was a little worried when she heard that, she was afraid that the Shen family's case would be revealed, but she was relieved when she thought of the evidence in her hands, but the existence of Shen Lanze always made her uneasy.

"My lady, why don't we start with the people around Shen Lanze, such as Lu Nanzhi, I heard that this woman is very powerful, and most shops in the capital have her shares."

Concubine Song nodded, "You are right, this matter is up to you to arrange, don't be too obvious."

"The servant understands."

Concubine Song nodded in satisfaction, then turned to deal with other matters.

The next day, a distinguished guest came to Hongzhuang Pavilion and waited in the lobby of Hongzhuang Pavilion.

In the Red Makeup Pavilion, Lu Nanzhi walked out with brisk steps, saw the woman sitting there drinking tea, straightened her clothes and walked over.

Before she could speak, the woman's haughty voice sounded, "Are you the owner of the Red Dressing Pavilion?"

Lu Nanzhi heard a hint of disdain in her tone, and didn't argue with her too much, cupped his hands and said, "It's the little girl."

"Ms. Ben doesn't think your Red Makeup Pavilion is very good. You have to wait for a broken soup bath. Do you know that my time is precious?" The woman had a cold face, her almond eyes showed a bit of impatience.

"Although the small shop is not as expensive as the young lady, it is not negligent. Please wait a moment for the young lady."

"You're quite sharp-tongued," the woman sneered, "I don't want to talk nonsense with you, I'm going to take a bath now, so hurry up and arrange it!"

Seeing her aggressive appearance, Lu Nanzhi couldn't bear it any longer, "Since Miss's time is so precious, why not go to other places, why waste your words with me here, there is no distinction of rich and powerful here, only first come, first served."

"How dare you contradict Miss Ben!"

The woman glared at her angrily, stood up, raised her hand and slapped Lu Nanzhi, just as the slap was about to fall, the woman's wrist was suddenly grabbed.

"I advise Miss Luo to think twice before acting, so as not to ruin the prime minister's reputation." Shen Lanze appeared in time, protecting Lu Nanzhi behind him.

Luo Qingyan raised her eyes and saw a look of surprise in Shen Lanze's eyes. She had never seen such a handsome man.

But she also knew that he was not easy to mess with, and if he confronted head-on, it would only be her who would suffer.

"Miss Luo, isn't it an embarrassment to the prime minister?"

After Shen Lanze finished speaking, he pushed hard, and the daughter of the Luo family staggered back two steps before steadying her footing.

"You are so bold, how dare you treat Miss Ben like this!" The woman put on a domineering look.

Shen Lanze glanced at her indifferently, and ignored her. He didn't even bother to pay attention to this kind of spoiled young lady.

"Why are you here?" Lu Nanzhi saw the person coming, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

Hearing that Shen Lanze is very busy recently, the emperor has arranged many things for him, thinking that he can't take care of himself, so he didn't bother him too much.

The two chatted and laughed at the side, deliberately put Luo Qingyan aside and ignored her, she stomped her feet angrily.

At this time, the servant girl came to report that the new soup bath had been prepared and people could be let in.

Luo Qingyan could only suppress the anger in her heart, and followed the little maid to leave.

In the front hall, only Shen Lanze and Lu Nanzhi were left, and laughter kept coming from inside.

"what……"

A piercing scream broke their beautiful and peaceful world of two.

Lu Nanzhi reacted and ran out immediately, following the sound to one of the soup bath rooms.

"Miss, ma'am!"

Lu Nanzhi lifted the hem of his skirt and ran in. Seeing the pale man with weak breathing, he asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know, I don't know anything." The maid beside Luo Qingyan waved her hands in a panic.

She was waiting outside and ran in when she heard the young lady's screams. When she came in, she saw the young lady floating in the middle of the pool, and hurried down to drag her up.

"Go to Ye Jinran, hurry up."

At this time, Lu Nanzhi didn't trust anyone, she only believed in Ye Jinran.

Anyway, there is still cooperation between them, she will never harm herself.

"I go."

Before leaving, Shen Lanze glanced around and made sure there was no danger before leaving.

His speed is very fast, and the time of a stick of incense has already brought people.

Ye Jinran already knew the seriousness of the matter on the way here, so she immediately stepped forward to give Luo Qingyan a pulse.

Time passed by, and everyone held their breaths, waiting for her diagnosis result.

At this time, there was a sudden clamor outside the door, and the noisy people were upset.

"Master, there is a maid outside the door who claims to be Miss Luo's personal maid and wants to come in." The maid came in from outside the door to report.

"Just say that her master has something to do for the time being, and it's not convenient to see her, so let her wait outside for the time being."

How Miss Luo sees people now, I can only wait for her to wake up.

"This……"

"Do as I say."

"Yes, servant understands." The servant immediately turned and left the room.
