Chapter 368: Chapter 246 Rumor_3

“I shall take my leave.”

As the words fell, Qin Yushan turned and left.

Watching Qin Yushan’s retreating figure, Lu Chen thought to himself, why would the Chu Family be spreading such rumors at this time?

It’s probably the work of people sent by the Chu Family from the South, isn’t it?

The likelihood is that there are spies from the Southern Chu Family within the North Country Chu Family. The Southern Aristocratic Family is doing this partly to sow discord between the North Prince Mansion and the North Country Chu Family and partly to ruin his personal reputation.

While Lu Chen was pondering this matter, the maid’s voice came again, “Prince, Commander Lin is seeking an audience with you.”

His train of thought interrupted, he said, “Come in.”

The next moment, the mature and dignified Lin Wanyun entered the study.

Lu Chen looked at the furiously angry Lin Wanyun at the door and said with a smile, “Madam Lin, who has angered you? Why do you look so displeased?”

Lin Wanyun asked, “Didn’t you promise me that you would let Rongrong go? Why are you still taking possession of her body?”

Lin Wanyun initially did not want to come to Lu Chen, but she considered that if Chen Wanrong did not leave the North Prince Mansion, how could she avenge herself, and how could she reclaim her country?

Hearing Lin Wanyun’s words, Lu Chen just smiled faintly and then said, “It seems you know everything.”

Lin Wanyun continued, “You are, after all, a prince, and someday you will be an emperor. How can you speak without…”

Before Lin Wanyun could finish her sentence, her body suddenly lost control and was drawn into Lu Chen’s arms with a palm strike.

Lin Wanyun immediately began to struggle, “Let me go…”

Holding her plump body, Lu Chen whispered into her ear, “I never said I wouldn’t let her go. She willingly became my woman. Such a beautiful fairy, what man wouldn’t be moved? If I wasn’t moved at all, would I still be a man?”

Lin Wanyun was both angry and annoyed, “You…”

Lu Chen said in a low voice, “Wanyun, you came here to confront me; could it be jealousy that’s driving you?”

Lin Wanyun’s face flushed, and just as she was about to say something, Lu Chen kissed her to silence, “Mmm mmm mmm…”

Lu Chen couldn’t be bothered to say anything more. Since she was angry inside, he would let her vent her anger first. Making her get over her anger wasn’t difficult.

Before long, Xiao Huan outside of the study heard Lin Wanyun’s voice, and she silently walked to the entrance of the courtyard, standing guard for Lu Chen.

Two hours later, Lin Wanyun’s anger had completely dissipated; she was straddling Lu Chen’s legs, her whole body leaning on his shoulder, motionless.

Not just her anger gone, but her soul seemed to have flown away. She no longer had the strength to confront Lu Chen.

Now, Lin Wanyun said weakly, “What exactly will it take for you to let Rongrong go?”

Holding her delicate body, Lu Chen whispered in her ear, “She must have told you, right? As long as she bears me a child, after the child turns fifteen, she can return to the Mysterious Moon Palace.”

Lin Wanyun said, “She’s the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace. She can’t stay in the North Prince Mansion forever. If the Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace find out, they will definitely come for her. Are you planning to go to war with the Mysterious Moon Palace?”

“The Mysterious Moon Palace is not just any force. Although you are a Grandmaster, there are not a few Grandmasters at the Mysterious Moon Palace. Even if you and Zhuge Zhongguang joined forces, you could not possibly be a match for those Elders.”

After hearing Lin Wanyun say this, Lu Chen thought for a moment. That could indeed be the case.

If Chen Wanrong was kept at the North Prince Mansion for ten or even dozens of years without being allowed to return, and it lured the Elders of the Mysterious Moon Palace here, then the trouble would be significant.

At this thought, Lu Chen’s hand gently caressed Lin Wanyun’s jade back before he said, “So, Wanyun, you came to remind me about this matter. And here I thought you were really coming to punish me.”

“It seems that you do care about me after all.”

Lin Wanyun huffed lightly, “Who would care about you, you little scoundrel! Such a lecher, you won’t let any pretty woman slip by. Sooner or later, you’ll fall because of a woman.”

Lu Chen said nonchalantly, “Don’t worry, I won’t fall because of a woman, it’s only women who fall for me, and haven’t you and Rongrong fallen for me?”

Hearing Lu Chen say this, Lin Wanyun spoke indignantly, lowering her voice, “We are just unlucky to have met a little bastard like you.”

Right then, Lu Chen suddenly heard the sound of a maid talking with someone outside the courtyard.

“Commander Chu, the Prince is busy; please don’t go inside.”

Chu Qingli said, “Busy with what?”

Hearing Chu Qingli’s voice, the corners of Lu Chen’s mouth turned up slightly, and then he called out loudly, “Qingli, come in.”

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Lin Wanyun, who was clinging onto Lu Chen, was dumbfounded. She whispered angrily, “Are you crazy?”

Lu Chen paid no attention to her protest.

Seeing that Lu Chen in the study had spoken up, the maid Xiao Huan didn’t say anything more. She thought, after all, Chu Qingli was a frequent visitor to the study; adding one more person probably wouldn’t matter.

Chu Qingli had no idea there was already someone in the study, and she walked straight towards it.

However, as soon as she opened the door to the study, she was stunned by the scene before her.

Lin Wanyun was struggling to escape but was pressed down on the desk by Lu Chen, completely unable to break free.

Chu Qingli exclaimed with shock on her face, “You… you…”

Chu Qingli couldn’t finish her words. A blush quickly appeared on her face, as she had long known about the affair between Lu Chen and Lin Wanyun, but she had never expected that Lu Chen, that bad guy, would let her walk in at this moment.

Although she indeed came for a trade with Lu Chen, the study was already occupied.

Lu Chen said indifferently, “Qingli, aren’t you going to close the door? Do you want everyone outside to see?”

Hearing this, Chu Qingli hurriedly turned around to close the door. After closing it, she turned back and glared at Lu Chen with resentment.

Lu Chen resumed his busyness, and while doing so, he asked, “What did you want to see me about?”

Chu Qingli glanced at the gasping Lin Wanyun, then said, “Our trade should be reaching its end soon, right? Isn’t it time to let my sister leave the Prince’s Mansion?”

Lu Chen replied, “Ah… that matter… um… I’ll come to find you to talk about it tonight.”

Chu Qingli then said, “Then I’ll leave first. Tonight is my sister’s patrol night; I’ll be waiting for you in my room.”

Lu Chen “Mhm” in response, and then concentrated all his attention on Lin Wanyun.

As Chu Qingli was leaving, she glanced at Lu Chen and Lin Wanyun, thinking to herself, this guy didn’t come back all last night and is now up to no good again; by the time he comes to find me tonight, he probably won’t be in the mood for anything else. Hopefully, he’ll keep his word this time and let my sister leave. After all, she had recently heard quite a few rumors about her sister in Yan County.
