A look of astonishment flashed across Chu Jinyan’s handsome face. If this girl was someone who valued her innocence very much, it would be impossible for him to appear on her bed now. Hence, she deliberately said this for outsiders to hear.

In other words, she was certain that the other party would not want to take responsibility for her and did not want her to enter the capital city for this reason. As such, that person would not enter her room to search.

The soldier who was searching the room outside replied, “General, there’s no one here.”

The leader stared at the door of Lu Xiang’s room and finally gave up. “Sorry to disturb you. Let’s go.”

He did not dare to enter, nor could he.

If he couldn’t find anyone and was entangled with this girl, then what he did would be easily exposed for the world to see. Assassinating the eighth prince was a serious crime.

He did not dare to take the risk.

Moreover, if someone had barged into her room, a little girl who was still wet behind the ears like her, would not have talked to him in such a calm manner.

The leader found a reasonable explanation for himself and left with his men.

With their departure, the abbot apologized to the Old Madam.

It was not good for them to offend those soldiers, nor could they offend Old Madam Lu. Hua’an Temple was in the territory of Yangning City. It would be easy for the magistrate to cause trouble for them if he wanted.

Fortunately, the old lady was not an unreasonable person. She smiled and said that it was fine.

The abbot left in peace.

The old lady knocked on Lu Xiang’s door. “Xiangxiang, are you asleep?”

Soon, the door opened. Lu Xiang’s hair was loose, and she looked at the old lady with lingering fear in her eyes. “Grandmother, I was scared to death just now. I took off my clothes and was about to sleep. If they really barged in, would I still have my innocence? By the way, why are there fugitives in the temple?”

The old lady was heartbroken and touched her pale face to comfort her. “The fugitive might not have escaped into Hua’an Temple. This has nothing to do with us. Fortunately, you’re smart. It’s fine.”

“Yeah.”

Yun Zhe and Wu Yue looked at Lu Xiang’s innocent appearance and could not help but shiver. They secretly glanced at the bed.

Escaped… fugitive!?

They are about to die from fear. How on earth did their Miss cultivate a strong heart to take him in?

“Sleep early. Grandmother will think of a way to return to the manor as soon as possible.” After tonight, Hua’an Temple was not a place to stay for long.

Lu Xiang nodded obediently. “I’ll listen to Grandmother.”

After returning to the house, Yun Zhe and Wu Yue immediately pulled Lu Xiang to the side and started to persuade her in a low voice. “Miss, let him leave quickly. We can’t afford to offend him.”

“That’s right, that’s right. It’s too dangerous.”

Lu Xiang chuckled and said, “Don’t be nervous. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Buddha likes me very much. He won’t let me be in danger.”

It was not easy for her to save this ‘gold mine’. Wouldn’t it be a loss to let him go just like that?

“It’s okay. You two go to sleep.”

Yun Zhe: “…”

Wu Yue: “…”

How could the two of them sleep at this time?

Lu Xiang ignored their resistance and chased them out of the house.

As she walked around the screen, Chu Jinyan was about to get out of bed.

Lu Xiang thought to himself that he had a high tolerance for pain when she saw how he was pretending to be calm even though his facial features were distorted from the pain.

“Don’t move. You would worsen your injuries.”

“Young Master, as the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with one’s body… Ah, no, the favor should be returned a hundredfold. I saved your life today. You have to agree to three of my requests in the future.”

Chu Jinyan: “???”

Then he didn’t really want to be saved by her…

He had a feeling that this girl had a motive.

Before Chu Jinyan could answer, Lu Xiang called out again, “Young Master?”

Chu Jinyan endured the pain and agreed in a muffled voice. “Miss, I will definitely not forget your help today.”

“That’s good, that’s good.” After receiving his assurance, Lu Xiang nodded repeatedly. Without waiting for Chu Jinyan to ask about her identity, she decided to introduce himself. “My father is the magistrate of Yangning City, Lu Youping. I’m the third daughter in the family. My name is Lu Xiang. Young Master, please don’t mistake me for someone else.”

Chu Jinyan: “…”

Was this something a normal girl would do?

“Miss, you’re very bold. You even dare to make a request of a fugitive like me. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll silence you?” Chu Jinyan raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang looked at the handsome face in front of her, it was like a peach blossom blooming in March. She was in a daze because of it.

Even if a beauty raised her eyebrows with a cold expression, she was still very attractive.

She quickly dismissed the thoughts in her mind and said with a righteous expression, “Young Master doesn’t look like an ordinary person from the way you dress. No matter what, you’re from a notable family. Furthermore, since you were being hunted, you must be either rich or from nobility. More importantly, my sixth sense tells me that you’re not a criminal, but a benefactor in trouble. Therefore, the Young Master must not forget to agree to my three requests.”

Having three requests from the eighth prince was equivalent to having a powerful backer. There was no need to worry about how she could punish Xiao Muheng in the future.

Chu Jinyan’s suspicious gaze landed on Lu Xiang’s face. No matter how he looked at it, this girl’s words were unreliable, but he didn’t have any evidence.

“Sure. Lu Xiang, right? I’ll remember you.” Chu Jinyan sat on the edge of the bed like a god descending from the sky. He was elegant and noble as he looked down on the world.

Lu Xiang immediately grinned. It was good that he remembered her. Only by remembering her could he repay her kindness in the future.

“I wonder if those people have gone far. Young Master, you should sleep here tonight. Otherwise, it won’t be worth it if your injuries worsen from running around.”

Look, how considerate of her.

Chu Jinyan stopped putting on his shoes and looked at Lu Xiang meaningfully. He hesitated for a moment before lying back down.

He was outnumbered tonight. It was indeed disadvantageous for him to go out now.

The night passed uneventfully.

Lu Xiang wrapped herself in a blanket and slept on the table for the entire night, causing her neck to stiffen when she woke up early in the morning. She rotated her neck a few times and tentatively called out from behind the screen. “Young Master, are you awake?”

No one responded.

Was he in so much pain that he couldn’t wake up?

Lu Xiang shouted again. The room was still quiet, so she walked into the room. The bed was empty, and there was no one there.

“When did he leave? I can’t believe I didn’t hear anything,” she muttered, and then forgot about it.

…

Madam Liu woke up early and took Lu Mingzhu to Hua’an Temple to persuade the Old Madam to return to the manor. She was already in a depressed mood, but when she saw Concubine Fang and Concubine Lin sitting in the carriage with her, her face darkened. She knew what these two were up to. Although they said in such a sincere manner that they were here to help, she knew that they were actually there to see how she makes a ridicule of herself in front of the Old Madam.

Concubine Lin had been tricked by Concubine Fang into going. Now that she was in the carriage, she felt like she was sitting on pins and needles instead. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in.

She said that the Master had instructed them to bring Old Madam back together. It was all nonsense.

Concubine Fang was the one who wanted to see Madam Liu make a fool of herself. She was afraid that she would be targeted if she went alone, so she took her along as a scapegoat.

Two carriages stopped at the entrance of Hua’an Temple. Madam Liu, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Lin were in one carriage, while Lu Mingzhu, Lu Yue, and Lu Qiao were in the other.
