Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Chapter 350: Caught off guard

Facing Lu Siheng's questions, Dong Jiafu was also a little angry.

"Why do I have to tell you? Besides, you were not in Beijing at that time. How could I tell you? So what if I tell you? Can you go with me?"

"I..." Lu Siheng was speechless for a moment. He had important matters at that time. When he came back after finishing his work and learned about this, she had been gone for four days.

After a moment, he suddenly reacted, with a bit of expectation in his eyes, "You know I was not in Beijing at that time, have you ever thought about telling me?"

"I was worried about Master. I didn't think too much about it. It was Prince Dingguo who told me." Dong Jiafu said truthfully.

Lu Siheng gritted his teeth after hearing this, "It's Cui Qiyan again, he took advantage of my absence. Damn it, why did something happen at that time?"

"Master Lu, please be careful what you say. It was my master who was in trouble." Dong Jiafu looked cold and walked past him.

Lu Siheng was annoyed why he couldn't hold his breath when he saw her. He quickly turned around and explained: "Jia Fu, it's not what you think..."

"Miss Dong, you are here -"

Ruyi came out of the house and was very happy to see Dong Jiafu.

Dong Jiafu noticed that her waist was much straighter than the last time she saw her, and her face had a little more color. She thought she was recovering well here.

"Auntie looks much better."

"Yes, the young master doesn't let me do any work here. I only eat and sleep. My body is well taken care of, but I'm so idle that I feel exhausted. Fortunately, I invited you here today, and I personally cooked and prepared the food. There’s a table of food, you’ll want to eat more later.”

"My aunt is in better health, so she shouldn't be too tired. We can just eat whatever we want."

"The dishes are almost ready, Miss Dong, come in and sit down." Ruyi greeted.

Dong Jiafu followed her through the door, and Lu Siheng followed silently behind her.

Ruyi sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and deliberately took a step slowly to wink at him quietly.

Lu Siheng met her gaze and shook his head helplessly.

Ruyi had some concerns in her mind and immediately stepped forward with a smile, "Miss Dong, sit down quickly and have a drink of water first."

Dong Jiafu gave her what he was carrying, "This is for you to replenish your health."

"How embarrassing."

"It's just some ordinary things, please accept them calmly." Dong Jiafu handed them forward again.

Ruyi took it and said, "Look, I invited the girl here to thank you, but I didn't expect it to cost you money again."

"Auntie, there's no need to be polite to me."

"Yes, you are our young master's friend, so you are not an outsider. I have been here for two months, and apart from you, the young master, I have never heard the young master mention any other women. The young master is the only one who can come to this house. .”

After hearing this, Dong Jiafu couldn't help but glance at Lu Siheng standing next to her, and cursed in her heart. It was a matter of timing of Aunt Ruyi's return. If she had met Lu Siheng two years earlier, she would not have said such words. .

Dong Jiafu raised her lips and smiled meaningfully, "That's right."

"Miss Dong, please sit down for a while. I have two more dishes, which will be ready soon." Ruyi said to Lu Siheng before leaving, "Sir, please talk to Miss Dong."

After Ruyi left, Lu Siheng said: "Sit down. Last time you said the hibiscus cake made by the chef was delicious. I asked him to make some more. You can try it."

After sitting down, Dong Jiafu saw two plates of hibiscus cakes on the table, "Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lu."

"Jiafu, it was my fault just now. I shouldn't have done that to you. I'm angry that I couldn't help you when you needed it and made you have to go with Cui Qiyan."

Lu Siheng sat down opposite her, "You don't know how anxious I was when I heard from your second brother that you went to Yangzhou with Cui Qiyan. I wished I could run over to find you immediately."

"Master Lu is busy with official duties, so there is no need to be distracted by my affairs. Moreover, the master's matter has been found out and he has been cleared."

"I heard it in the court. Many people said that Cui Qiyan valued friendship and specifically asked the Holy Emperor to go to a small county to investigate a case for a doctor in order to repay his kindness." Lu Siheng snorted disdainfully, "I just If you don’t believe it, it must be because of you that he figured out that my absence in the capital would prevent your father and brother from getting away, so he came with you in a grand manner. It was better to ask your father to invite him in person. He was really good at calculating. "

"He didn't do anything to you along the way, right?"

Dong Jiafu frowned, "Why do you think so? The master did save him. Before I knew about it, he had already planned to go to Yangzhou. I was worried about the master and insisted on going. And we just Because we're just doing the same thing together, it's not as unbearable as you think."

"I'm just worried about you. It's not like you don't know what he thinks of you..."

"Lu Siheng—" Dong Jiafu interrupted, looking directly into his eyes seriously.

"Alas!" Lu Siheng responded cheerfully, "It would be great if you had called me by my name like this earlier, instead of calling me 'Mr. Lu' and 'Mr. Lu' every time. I don't like it at all. You have to follow I’m listening to whatever I say.”

Dong Jiafu understood why he had that expression when he first saw her, and she didn't want this to happen again.

"I'll tell you again, don't focus on me. We can only be friends."

The smile on Lu Siheng's face froze and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Do you have someone you like? Is it Cui Qiyan?"

Could it be that what he was most worried about happened? During their trip to Yangzhou, she and Cui Qiyan had been together for more than ten days, and together they solved her master's case. Did she really have feelings for him?

"It has nothing to do with him." Dong Jiafu said harshly, "You should know the relationship between our family and the Feng family. Before my father's accident, the two families were preparing to arrange an engagement for me and Feng Jiyuan. The matter was delayed for three years, and soon It will continue to advance.”

"You mean you are going to get engaged to Feng Jiyuan and you want to marry him?" Lu Siheng was caught off guard.

"This is something that both families agree on."

Dong Jiafu thought that this would be good for everyone. Her parents would be satisfied, her kindness to the Feng family would be explained, and Lu Siheng and Cui Qiyan could return to the life path they should take.

And she will work hard to learn to be a good wife and live her life peacefully amidst the expectations of her parents.

"What about you?" Lu Siheng stared at her closely, "You are willing to obey the arrangements of your family. Do you like Feng Jiyuan?"

Dong Jiafu was silent for a moment, and just when she was about to speak, Ruyi came in with dishes.

"Sir, Miss Dong, the food is ready. Come over and eat."

Dong Jiafu stood up and wanted to leave, but Lu Siheng grabbed her arm.

"You haven't answered me yet."

"Aunt Ruyi is waiting." Dong Jiafu brushed his hand away and continued walking forward.

Lu Siheng looked at the back and said: "Dong Jiafu, you shouldn't be like this. Don't you like restraint the most? Why are you so timid now that you have to let other people control major matters?"

These words hit Dong Jiafu's heart hard. From the moment she decided to return to her family and live as "Dong Jiafu", she was no longer the person who only followed her heart in everything.
