Chapter 328: As If It Had Been Branded, Burning Hot With a Clear Sensation
The young girl’s warm breath subtly caressed his ears. An awkward shred of blush appeared on his handsome face and his ears quickly turned red as well.
By the time he came to his senses, the young girl had moved away and was standing two steps away from where he was. She gave him a bright smile. “You should stop here, Your Majesty. I’m going back.” Finishing her words, she turned to climb into the horse-drawn carriage. When she got into the carriage, she gave a thought and turned to wave at him. “Goodbye, Your Majesty.”
Long Yang woke from his reverie when he saw the curtain being drawn. He walked toward the carriage window and his slender fingers curled to knock on the carriage. He said in a husky voice, “Weiwei?”
Lu Liangwei, who was already seated in the carriage, suddenly heard his voice and her heart could not help but skip a beat.
She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, attempting to calm her wildly beating heart. She pulled open the curtain and went closer to the window.
She pursed her lips when she saw the man standing outside. “Does Your Majesty have anything else...”
She stopped talking abruptly as a soft, wet sensation on her forehead caused her to forget how to react.
Long Yang had moved away. He looked into the window at the young girl’s stunned expression, and the corners of his lips curled happily. “Goodbye, little lady.”
It was only when the curtains fell once more and there was darkness in front of her eyes that Lu Liangwei finally reacted. Her petite face blushed red.
When the horse carriage began moving slowly, she finally lifted her hand to gently rub her forehead.
Her forehead felt as if it had been branded, burning hot with a clear sensation.
Zhu Yu, who had been pretending to be invisible, covered her mouth and laughed discreetly.
His Majesty treated her Miss with such gentleness, that even Miss was feeling shy about it.
She pondered and voiced a question, “Miss, are we heading directly back to the mansion, or are we going somewhere else?”
Lu Liangwei touched her hot cheek and replied in a low voice, “Let’s head to the pawnshop.”
Zhu Yu looked at her, puzzled. “Why are we going to the pawnshop?”
Lu Liangwei patted the few boxes on her lap. “To exchange them for silver pieces, of course.”
Zhu Yu got a little anxious when she heard this. “These were gifted to you by Her Highnesses from the Palace. Would it be inappropriate to pawn them so readily? Besides, if you need silver pieces, you can ask for them from the Grand Duke.”
Lu Liangwei thought of something as she replied with slight regret, “That’s right. Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll ask for silver pieces directly the next time.”
Zhu Yu was slightly surprised. When did her Miss turn into money-grubber?
“There’s still no need to pawn all these things off. Some of those accessories I saw were quite exquisite. It would be a pity to pawn them. Why don’t you keep to wear for the future?”
Lu Liangwei shook her head. “These things might be valuable and exquisite, but they are just dead objects after all. They would just end up as decorations if I keep them. I might as well exchange them for silver pieces. At least it would be of help to Youyou and the rest.”
Even though they were gifted by the Virtuous Consort and others, she would never put them on. It would be a waste to just leave them lying around.
Besides, she had an abundance of jewelry. As the Grand Duke Family’s only daughter of the principal wife, her room had never lacked good stuff.
These were gifted by others, which in turn, were quite troublesome.
When Zhu Yu saw that her Miss had made up her mind, she said nothing more and got up to reach out. She instructed Gu Er, who was driving the carriage, “Go to the biggest pawnshop.”
When she returned to the carriage, Zhu Yu was still feeling slightly worried. “Miss, would this be appropriate? If Her Highnesses found out, they would not let this go easily.”
Lu Liangwei was not worried at all. “It’s fine. Even if they are unhappy about this, they won’t mention this out loud. They already hate me. It makes no difference to add one more thing to their hate list.”
Zhu Yu immediately said anxiously when she heard this, “How dare they do so?”
Lu Liangwei burst out laughing. “Why won’t they dare to?”
