After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The men around Lu Kui had never seen their master like this before, and they looked at each other in bewilderment. No one dared to go up and disturb his interest.

The two groups of people looked at each other and stopped in front of the Lin Mansion for a while, and no one went in first.

An elderly steward came running from the gatehouse. When he saw Lu Kui, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Hey, Master Lu! Why didn't you inform us that you are coming? We have prepared good wine early in the morning and are waiting for your arrival!"

After hearing this, Ning'er looked at Lu Kui in surprise and thought: How strange, this Young Master Lu looks only in his twenties, and this steward has white hair at the temples, but he still calls him "old man"?

Lu Kui responded to him indifferently, then turned his eyes to Ning'er and asked earnestly, "Miss Shen, can you come into the mansion with me?"

The steward then took a look at Ning'er, and remembering what his eldest lady had asked him to do, he hurriedly said in a friendly manner: "But is Miss Shen from Xinyuan Marquis's Mansion here in person? We are really neglectful. The eldest lady has urged us three or four times to come and greet you!"

Lu Kui was moved when he heard this. Little Miss Shen? Could it be that she was not the daughter of Xinyuan Marquis? He had been away from the capital for some time, and he had thought that she was the daughter of the second branch of the Shen family. It seemed that there might be another reason.

Ning Er smiled and said, "Sister Lin is really polite." She glanced at the man beside her and said to the steward, "There is another distinguished guest in the mansion. Please find someone to lead the way. I will go find Sister Lin myself."

After hearing this, Lu Kui's eyebrows, which were originally raised, suddenly dropped. This change of expression made his subordinates and everyone in the Lin Mansion shudder.

Ning Er seemed to be completely unaware. She bowed and turned to say, "Chuncao, Madam Feng, let's go first. Don't keep Sister Lin waiting for too long."

Feng Ping hurriedly followed: "Miss, what you said is very true."

In fact, it was not in accordance with the rules to let Miss Ning meet and talk with a man from outside the Lin Mansion. However, before she left, the old lady told her not to restrict Miss Ning too much. So she just turned a blind eye.

When Lu Kui saw that Miss Xiao Shen left without saying a word to him, his face suddenly became frighteningly gloomy. He was a man who showed his emotions on his face and didn't bother to hide his temper.

He glared at the steward fiercely: "What are you still standing there for! Why don't you send Miss Shen in quickly?"

The steward was stunned by his scolding. Miss Shen was the eldest lady's female guest, and he couldn't just send her away just because he wanted to? It was a pity that Lord Lu had a fierce reputation, so he really didn't dare to defend himself, and could only swallow his anger and welcome the person in.

Before entering the second gate, Ning'er heard an excited female voice: "Sister Ning is here! I've been waiting for you for so long." She saw a tall and bright girl, wearing a double-breasted jacket with peony patterns and a smoky red satin skirt, standing under the rose tree and looking at her with a smile.

Ning'er couldn't help but feel happy too, and she went up to her and called out, "Sister Lin!"

Lin Ruozhen was much taller than her, and now he was holding her like he wanted to hold her in his arms. She pretended to be angry and said, "I just couldn't invite you. I kept asking you and waiting for you, and finally Sister Ning agreed to come."

Ning Er gently pulled her hand, and the two of them walked and laughed, with a bunch of maids and old women following behind them: "Sister Lin, please forgive me, I really can't get away. I will get back to you as soon as I have time."

Lin Ruozhan took her to walk in the corridor on one side. The corridor was made of bricks and stones, and all of them were carved with elegant objects such as fragrant flowers, cypresses, vases, stoves, gold and stone. Although it was not as magnificent as the mansion covered with powder, lacquer and gold, it was a different scene with every step. It was winding and winding, with elegant Xiang bamboo leaves everywhere, and it was quiet and peaceful.

Lin Ruozhen had already set up a small banquet in a hexagonal pavilion in the garden, with water on one side and curtains hung around. She took Ning'er to sit down and said with a smile, "It's not as rich as your house, but it's quiet and spacious, so it's good for us sisters to talk."

Maids then brought various snacks and fresh fruits in a continuous stream, while others brought brooms, whisks, washbasins and golden basins for them to use.

Ning Er saw the servants and maids moving in and out in an orderly manner, and she secretly sighed at the strictness of the Lin family. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister Lin has arranged it so carefully. If you are too modest, Ning Er will think it is showing off."

Lin Ruozhen waved his hand, and the maids hurriedly withdrew. Ning'er also asked Chuncao and others to follow him out, and she just stood guard outside the pavilion. Then she heard her laughing and said, "My father is busy with discipline all day long, impeaching this one, investigating that one. He has seen so much, and he is afraid that if he is not careful in his own family, he will be caught by others. So he has always been strict with the servants."

Ning Er said hurriedly, "Even though I am not very knowledgeable, I have often heard people mention that Lord Lin has a very good reputation. After meeting him today, I know that the rumors are indeed true."

Lin Ruozhen nodded and smiled: "Dad is indeed diligent as an official. He is just too stubborn." She frowned slightly: "Forget it, we will talk about these unhappy things later."

Ning Er knew that this was about Lin Ruozhen's marriage. But since Sister Lin didn't mention it, she couldn't bring it up first, so she just found another topic to evade the question: "Sister Lin, do you have an older brother at home?"

Lin Ruozhen smiled and looked at Ning'er: "Why do you think of asking this? Unfortunately, I am the eldest daughter in the family. I have no brothers or sisters, only younger brothers and sisters."

Ning Er looked thoughtful. "When I entered the mansion today, I ran into a young man. Your housekeeper said he was a distinguished guest invited by Lord Lin. So it seems that it was your father who invited you?"

Lin Ruozhen asked curiously, "Father is old, it's rare for him to interact with young people. I thought he only interacted with old men!"

Wait, she suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "What does the young master look like? Sister Ning, do you know his last name?"

Ning Er saw that she suddenly sat up straight and thought it was something important, so she described the man in detail: "He is about 20 years old. Although he is quite handsome, his brows are very gloomy, which makes people feel inexplicably scared. His surname is Lu."

“That’s good.” Lin Ruozhen heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that the man’s surname was not Chu. “I thought my father had just had a whim and brought the second young master Chu to the mansion.”

"Lu?" She thought about it and realized that she had never seen the young man who came to the mansion like the one Ning'er described.

Ning Er nodded and said, "Yes, he said it himself, it is the Deer of Deer Calling."

Lin Ruozhen was shocked and said, "Lu! Could his name be Lu Kui?"

Ning Er was shocked to see her big reaction: "Yes, that is indeed her name."

Lin Ruozhen's expression changed: "Oh no, what is this evil star doing in our house?"

Ning Er asked hurriedly, "What's the reason? Is there something wrong with this man? But I think he is quite polite."

Lin Ruozhen held Ning'er's hand tightly and said worriedly, "You don't know, Lu Kui has a very bad reputation. His visit is probably up to no good!"

"He was born in the Imperial Guards' Mansion, and his subordinates have been involved in countless deaths! Apart from the emperor, he is notorious for not recognizing his relatives. He is ruthless and extremely good at making decisions. At a young age, he has already achieved the position of the commander-in-chief."

"Last year, due to a corruption case, he killed people indiscriminately, which angered the public and led to his impeachment by all officials. His Majesty demoted him to Luliang. How long has it been since then? How come this killer is back in Beijing again!"

Ning'er was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that the rude young man just now was such a terrifying person!

Oh no, I must have offended him...
