Cough!  Such overbearing and eagle-sharp eyes are provoking her?  She is a man right now .   Isn’t this man’s gaze a little unusual?

Suddenly, a thought flashed into Linghu Shui Yue’s mind catching her unawares, making her heart jump .

It can’t be can it?  This Zhu You Hong wasn’t at all stirred by that beautiful Yang Lan Zhi, instead he looked at her for so long, his gaze so focused, filled with probing and provocation .

Could it be he likes men?  She heard Zhu You Hong wasn’t like the sixth lord or the other w.a.n.gye .   Usually, he didn’t touch any woman either .

Having such an earth-shattering thought, Linghu Shui Yue hastily wrapped her thin blankets tightly around herself, unconsciously probing, “I heard ninth lord doesn’t like women?”

Zhu You Hong finally withdrew his gaze, shaking himself out of his thoughts, and stared at the roof of the tent, the thin lips gently pursed .

Though it was faint, that scent was like orchids yet it was definitely not the scent of any flower in this world, but was unique, and it was indeed coming from Linghu Shui Yue’s body .

No need to touch or test, she was Linghu Shui Yue!

Hearing Linghu Shui Yue’s question, Zhu You Hong answered, “Benw.a.n.g gifted a jade pendant to your sister .   That jade pendant is benw.a.n.g’s personal item .   At my birth, imperial father gave it as a token of the imperial family . ”

“What does ninth lord mean?  My sister is mad, sixth lord couldn’t wait to abandon her .   Or does ninth lord have some kind of special preferences .   You couldn’t possibly like my sister!” Linghu Shui Yue was shocked .

Up until now, though she suspected, but for ninth lord to say it out lord, her shock wasn’t small!  He gave the jade pendant to her meaning he intends to marry her?  Then, he can tell her madness was all an act?

“Brother Linghu thinks benw.a.n.g will casually gift the jade pendant to others?  This is a token of affection!” Zhu You Hong gazed at the tent roof, saying nonchalantly .

She’s now Brother Linghu?  The shocked Linghu Shui Yue acted calm, “Hehe!  Ninth lord don’t say such frightening words!  My little sister doesn’t understand what a token of affection is so she gave me the jade pendant to let me exchange it for candied haws for her to eat . ”

“No problem!  Brother Linghu keep it safe!  Older brother is like a father, Brother Linghu can make the decision for her . ”

“Ninth lord, are you certain you aren’t uttering nonsense?” Linghu Shui Yue was totally shocked dumb by Zhu ninth lord .   What does this person mean?  Why can’t he open the window and put it out in the open?  She was about to be scared stupid by him!

“A fortune teller said benw.a.n.g and your younger sister has three lifetimes of loves match .   So even if your sister is mad, benw.a.n.g must marry her as wife . ” Zhu You Hong glanced at Linghu Shui Yue from the side, thinking with interest, this campaign was simply too interesting!

Linghu Shui Yue couldn’t make heads and tails of it!  This person was crazy!  Definitely crazy!  Who doesn’t he marry yet he wants to marry a mad person?  Utter madness!   She had a sudden frightening thought, this ninth lord knew everything about her!  But he didn’t expose her!

“So it’s like this!  What did the fortune teller say?  This is pure lies!  Ninth lord can’t believe in it!” Since he didn’t expose her ident.i.ty, then there’s no cause to be alarmed!  Hmph!  He wants to marry her as a wife?  What for!?

“Benw.a.n.g doesn’t entirely believe it . ” Zhu You Hong’s voice didn’t reveal anything, but already said what he really felt .
