Chapter 133 Don’t take the usual path
Before this, Lu Yangyang had never thought that the information in that dream could be of any use.
Because in her view, as long as she continues to grow and stays true to herself, she will not end up in an extreme situation.
But now she realizes that any seemingly insignificant matter depends on the perspective from which it is viewed. If she doesn't care about her brother's life or death, she doesn't need to think about the actions and meaning behind Xue Wanning's actions. But if she does care, she has to get to the bottom of it in order to change the fate under this trend.
Just like in the dream where she went mad with jealousy, she knew the ending, saw through the true nature of those people, and stopped paying attention to them, so naturally she wouldn't get hurt.
She didn't want her eldest brother to die, and given his personality, he would never compromise with the Third Prince. So the first thing she had to do was stop his marriage to Xue Wanning.
She has to tell her older brother about this!
Lu Yangyang stood up and said to the Princess, "Thank you for your explanation, Your Highness. I believe that my elder brother has the right to know the truth, no matter what."
She might not be able to stop her elder brother from marrying Xue Wanning, but she had to tell him the truth and not let him get involved without knowing why!
After saying that, she turned to Princess Liduan and said, "Princess, I'll go back first. I need to think about how to tell my elder brother about this."
"Hey, why are you leaving? Wait for me! I'll go with you!" Princess Liduan hadn't figured out what was going on and why she was leaving. She hurriedly stood up and grabbed Lu Yangyang.
"Princess, I need to return to the Duke of Sheng's residence now." It wasn't that Lu Yangyang didn't want to take Princess Liduan with her, but rather that it wasn't appropriate for Princess Liduan to handle this matter herself.
"Aren't you going to see Brother Sheng?" Princess Liduan looked at her with some disappointment.
"My elder brother is on business and may not be able to pick me up today, but he will definitely return home. I will go back and wait for him."
Lu Yangyang was anxious to go back because she wanted to see if the Crown Prince had returned. She had sorted out some things, but time was too short and she had too little information. Asking the Eldest Princess was not convenient, but asking the Crown Prince would be much more convenient.
"Alright then, I'll come see you again tomorrow." Princess Liduan was a little reluctant to part with Lu Yangyang and asked Lin Shuang to see her off.
After bidding farewell to the Princess and Princess Liduan, Lu Yangyang left with Lin Shuang.
After she left, Princess Liduan slumped onto the table, sighing and lamenting.
The eldest princess teased her, "What's wrong? Are you sighing like this because you can't see your sweetheart?"
“Mother, why are you making fun of me? I’m anxious too. There’s nothing wrong with Xue Wanning going to plead with her third cousin, but I just feel something’s off, though I can’t quite put my finger on it.” Princess Liduan frowned. “I just feel like something’s not right about this.”
"Oh, our little pear has grown up! She can even sense that something's not right here," the princess said with a smile.
"Mother, if you know, then tell me! What exactly happened? I feel like Yangyang knows, but I don't." Princess Liduan jumped up, snuggled up to the Princess, and hugged her arm, acting coquettishly.
"Your friend is quite interesting. She was instrumental in the Feng family's affair at the Duke of Cheng'en's birthday banquet, wasn't she? And A-Que, I heard she gave him acupuncture. Was that mask she wore a gift from A-Que? To catch A-Que's eye, she must be a clever young girl," the Princess said thoughtfully.
"My second cousin gave it to me? When did my second cousin become so generous? Isn't he incredibly stingy? Once something goes into his private coffers, you can't get a single hair out of it. When I was a kid, I asked him for a nine-linked ring and he wouldn't give it to me." Princess Liduan muttered to herself.
"That's because he knew you couldn't solve it and felt it was a waste to give it to you," the princess ruthlessly exposed her.
"Mother!" Princess Liduan glared at her angrily.
"Hahaha," the princess laughed, reaching out to pinch her cheek: "So, Little Pear, if you can't figure it out, don't waste your brain. Even a silly bird is quite cute."
Princess Li Duan bit her lip, her face conflicted: "Then I can't help, and I'll be very angry."
"Silly child, you've already helped. If you really don't want anything to happen to your sweetheart, then let me give you an idea."
Princess Liduan immediately perked up. "What idea?"
The princess beckoned her to come closer, then whispered something in her ear.
Princess Liduan stared at her mother in disbelief. "Wh-what?"
The eldest princess smiled and looked at her, "Little Pear, remember this: sometimes, taking the unconventional path can yield unexpected rewards."
……
When Lu Yangyang left Qinglian Temple and returned to the Duke of Sheng's mansion, it was already dark.
Red lanterns were hung everywhere in the Duke of Sheng's mansion, making it a festive and brightly decorated place. When the lights were turned on at night, the entire mansion was bathed in a warm, red glow.
Counting the days, there are only three days left until my eldest brother's wedding.
At this point, almost everything needed for the wedding preparations has been completed, and all that's left is to welcome the bride into the house.
If they break off the engagement, the entire reputation of the Duke of Sheng's mansion will be ruined.
Lu Yangyang doesn't care about the reputation of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, but his elder brother is the heir of the Duke of Sheng's mansion, and he may not be able to make the decision on this matter himself.
It’s really difficult to handle.
Lu Yangyang returned to the courtyard and instructed Granny Shen, "Have someone keep an eye on things for me. If my elder brother comes back, come find me immediately. I have something very important to discuss with him."
"Don't worry, young lady." Granny Shen nodded.
After giving her explanation, Lu Yangyang took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and climbed over to the neighbor's yard.
The prince's courtyard was lit up.
Lu Yangyang happily ran into the yard. The yard gate was open, but no one was in the living room. Lu Yangyang stopped in her tracks. "Could it be that they didn't come back?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Lu Yangyang called out twice.
A voice came from the next room, "Come in."
Lu Yangyang's eyes lit up, and she quickly pushed open the door and entered the room. Just as she was about to speak, she saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was only wearing a nightgown, with his hair loose, sitting in a wheelchair, as if he had just taken a bath.
Lu Yangyang blinked. Had she arrived at the wrong time?
"Ahem," the Crown Prince coughed lightly, placing his hand to his lips. "Go and fetch that outer garment for me."
Following his gaze, Lu Yangyang saw the outer garment laid out on the soft couch and hurriedly went over to help take it to the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, do you need any help?"
The Crown Prince chuckled, "No need, just wait in the study for a moment, I'll be there right away."
"Oh, okay." Lu Yangyang nodded, turned around to leave, but suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask, "Don't you need me to push you over?"
The crown prince paused, looked into her bright eyes, and said as if possessed, "Then I'll have to trouble Yangyang."
