Chapter 217 It’s not what you think
He didn't know whether to call it good or bad luck; the man didn't kill him, but instead sent him back to the demon slave market.
When Lingyuan saw him again, he couldn't believe his eyes. Later, he heard from Chunniang that he was sent out to be exchanged because he hadn't served his master well and hadn't won his favor.
If he could win the master's favor, he wouldn't have been sent away and wouldn't have ended up like this. Not long after, that person was bought again. But what will happen to him in the future, no one knows. If they don't want to end up like him, they can only try their best to please their master. As long as they have even a little bit of place in the master's heart, their lives won't be too difficult, and at least they can keep their lives!
Whether you are sincere or not, as long as you can win the master's favor, you can save your life. As long as you live, there is hope; if you die, you have nothing.
He always remembered those words: as long as he obeyed, he could live a good life!
He had secretly observed Lu Jinyan when he arrived yesterday. She did not have a husband. Apart from her ambiguous relationship with Ruohan, there were no other men in the house. Of course, those demon servants did not count.
He thought this was a good opportunity for him. If he could win Lu Jinyan's favor before she married, he might be able to get the position of a concubine. He knew his own status very well. It was impossible for him to be the principal wife. As a demon slave who was bought back, he was almost always a servant of the king. Very few people could even get the position of concubine.
Lu Jinyan has neither a legal husband nor a concubine. If he works harder, he might have a chance. But he has only been here for two days, and Lu Jinyan is already like this with Ruohan. It seems he has to step up his efforts.
Before there are more men in her household, she should pave a good path for herself.
Lin Churan also smiled and winked at Lu Jinyan, the meaning of which was probably, "You finally couldn't resist making a move!"
Although Lin Churan had only known Lu Jinyan for a short time, she had roughly figured out Lu Jinyan's thoughts. She would not get married; all she wanted was to marry a husband. This was exactly what she wanted to do, as Lu Jinyan also wanted to get married.
She's not considering marriage!
Lu Jinyan smiled back at Lin Churan, said nothing more, and after sitting down with Ruohan, she said softly, "Let's all eat!"
As Lu Jinyan finished speaking, everyone started eating. Today's breakfast consisted of steamed buns with porridge and some side dishes. The steamed buns were wrapped in peach leaves and peach branches, and the side dishes were prepared by Chu Chu beforehand. They tasted delicious.
After breakfast, Ruohan had slept by the bedside again because he had taken care of Lu Jinyan the night before. Lu Jinyan was worried about his health and told him to go back and rest and catch up on his sleep. Ruohan didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded before leaving.
Lin Churan also returned to her own courtyard. After all, Qin Hao was still there. Qin Hao's health had improved a lot, but he was still a little weak. After a few more days of rest, he would be able to go out and walk around.
The others helped clear the dishes and then went about their own business. In a short time, only Chu Chu, Liu Qing, Lu Jinyan, Liu Xu, and Ling Yuan remained in the room.
Ling Yuan originally thought that he could spend time alone with Lu Jinyan while Ruohan was away, so he stayed.
As a result, he looked at Chu Chu and Lu Jinyan with a hesitant expression, and sighed inwardly. It seemed that his plan had failed again. He was the best among this group of high-ranking demon slaves, and he was naturally adept at reading people's expressions. He knew that this second young lady and Lu Jinyan had a very good relationship, and he could not afford to offend them.
So, sensing the situation, he stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said, "Lingyuan will take his leave now!"
Lu Jinyan nodded without saying anything, while Chu Chu raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself that this person was quite sensible.
After Ling Yuan left, Liu Xu and Liu Qing also came out. The two obediently stood guard outside, leaving the space to the two young ladies.
"Yanyan, you and Ruohan..." Chu Chu saw that only she and Lu Jinyan were left in the room, and immediately put on a mischievous smile with a gossipy look.
"You brat, what nonsense are you thinking? Nothing of the sort!" Lu Jinyan glared at Chu Chu, thinking to herself, what is this girl really thinking all day long?
"Nothing happened? Didn't you sleep in Ruohan's room last night? Didn't you two...?" Chu Chu didn't believe it. A man and a woman alone together, having drunk alcohol, sleeping in the same room, and nothing happened?
Yan Yan had told her many stories about drunken sex before, and she didn't believe that nothing really happened between them. She thought Yan Yan was just shy and embarrassed to tell her.
"Oh my little darling, what are you thinking about all day? No, really nothing. I got drunk last night and slept in his room, but I slept on the bed and he slept on the couch next to the bed."
Lu Jinyan gently touched her forehead, regretting that she had told Chu Chu all those nonsensical stories before. She had corrupted such a good little girl.
"Huh? That's it? Brother Ruohan is too honest! He didn't do anything with such a good opportunity? Then what's going on with you guys today?"
Chu Chu pouted, looking quite regretful, which made Lu Jinyan both amused and exasperated: "Hey, I'm your older sister, why do you seem to really want something to happen between me and Ruohan? You like him that much?"
"Of course! Isn't Brother Ruohan wonderful? He's good to Yanyan, and he was even willing to give his blood for her. Of course I like Brother Ruohan. If Yanyan and Brother Ruohan are together, I'll naturally be happy."
Chu Chu's thoughts were simple. Lu Jinyan was her only family. She liked anyone who was good to Lu Jinyan. She wasn't stupid; she saw Ruohan's feelings for Lu Jinyan. Moreover, Ruohan had a good personality and got along well with everyone.
If he were to marry Lu Jinyan as her legal husband, everyone would be very happy. As for Mo Xuan, it's not that she dislikes him, but she just finds him too cold, a bit intimidating, and not easy to get along with.
Although they had spent some time together, Chu Chu still felt a certain fear of Mo Xuan. He wasn't as approachable as Ruo Han.
"Of course I know how good Ruohan is, otherwise I wouldn't have made it public. Although we didn't do what you think happened last night, we expressed our feelings for each other. He also accepted that I wouldn't get married but would marry a husband. He said he was willing to marry me."
Just now, I told him about Mo Xuan, and he wasn't angry. He really is a very good man. So I told him that we should find a time to be honest with Mo Xuan. If he can accept it, then we'll pick a date to get married. If he doesn't want to accept it, then I'll let him go. I won't let Ruo Han down. Of course, I don't want to let Mo Xuan down either, but I can't make the choice for him.
I will tell him everything, and let him make his own choice, so don't worry, your brother Ruohan, I will treat him well!
