Looking at Lu Lin's handsome face which seemed to be concerned, but was actually full of excitement, Lu Mingyu's head hurt even more.
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Lu Mingyu's temples throbbed, and she gritted her teeth as she asked her father.
Lu Lin had an innocent look on his face: "Anyway, we have to recruit a son-in-law to enter the house. These things are not important at all. Besides, didn't I ask you a question at that time."
What did he ask?
Lu Mingyu's memory quickly flashed to a scene from a few days ago.
Xiaoyu, are you familiar with His Royal Highness the Second Prince?
Yes, that's it.
She didn't think much about it at that time and just dealt with it casually. How could she expect that the Second Prince had already started hitting on her since then? If only she had known about the Second Prince's rebirth earlier...
Well, it’s okay to know earlier.
The Lu Mansion was here, and the Second Prince can come to her at any time. She couldn't hide if she wanted to.
This feeling of being guiltless towards the creditor is really enough.
Lu Mingyu closed the door annoyed and walked around in the boudoir.
Lu Lin had a vague idea in his heart, but he was not in a hurry. He sat slowly in his chair, watching his daughter pace up and down distractedly.
Lu Mingyu turned around for a long time, and looked at her father with some dissatisfaction: "Father, why don't you comfort me!"
"How can I comfort this?" Lu Lin asked with a smile: "In this world, other debts are easy to repay, but this debt is the most difficult to repay. You said it yourself, you have done something wrong to the Second Prince. Now the Second Prince has come to find you, where can you hide?"
Lu Mingyu: "..."
What she owes is not a debt of love.
She owed the Second Prince's life.
Paying the debt with one's own body, that's all. Otherwise, the Second Prince and she would be in an endless blood feud. She can do without caring about her own life and death, but how can she watch her relatives and siblings who know nothing of it, being implicated?
Lu Mingyu let out a long sigh.
Lu Lin looked at his daughter with interest, and continued to speculate: "I have never heard you mention the Second Prince before, but only heard of the Third Prince. It seems that you and the Second Prince have not known each other for a long time. Wait, no, the Second Prince was also on the expedition this time, and he was not in the capital at all. How can you be involved with the Second Prince?"
"Could it be that you knew the second prince a long time ago and stepped on two boats?"
Lu Mingyu: "..."
Lu Mingyu couldn't bear it any longer, and glared at her father: "When did I step on two boats? Dad, you read too many novels, right! All you think about is a mess."
Lu Lin was a little hurt, and his handsome face was dark: "You hide your thoughts and refuse to tell me clearly, and let me guess here. Can't I just guess?"
"Xiaoyu, you used to praise me for being unique. I only know now that you despise your own father so much."
Saying that he silently turned his head to one side, revealing his hurt profile.
Lu Mingyu wanted to be angry but laughed.
After a while, she still smiled and tugged at her father's sleeve: "Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said that to you. However, I never disliked you at all in my heart. That's what you guessed. Some parts are too exaggerated."
Actually, the truth is even more exaggerated than what Lu Lin imagined.
Lu Mingyu resisted the urge to sigh and continued to coax her father: "Father, don't be angry. I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's really hard to say."
Lu Lin's sleeves were tugged a few times, his heart softened, and for the most part, he turned his head, and responded aggressively: "Then make it clear now!"
... The longest road she has traveled is her father's routine.
Lu Mingyu had a black line on her face, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said in a low voice after a while: "Last spring, the Third Prince and I went to spring hunting together, and we met the Second Prince on the way, and we walked all the way. I accidentally injured him while hunting. Fortunately, it was only a minor injury, he did not publicize it, and no one knew about it."
"I met him just once. I really didn't expect that he fell in love with me and wanted to marry me. This time Queen Qiao announced me to the palace, he secretly begged Queen Qiao."
"I have accepted his favor. But I never thought of marrying him."
The truth must never be revealed.
She can only make up a reason like this.
Lu Lin listened with interest and interjected: "So, I guessed right before. You really owe a debt of love, and you have stepped on two boats."
Lu Mingyu: "..."
The sparks in Lu Mingyu's eyes were about to burst out.
Lu Lin laughed and coughed twice: "Okay, I'm just joking."
Lu Mingyu exhaled a sullen breath and continued: "The Second Prince persuaded Queen Qiao to announce me to enter the palace and met me in private. He confessed to me and said that he wants to marry me as his wife."
"I want to invite my son-in-law to enter the door, so naturally I have to reject the Second Prince. But the second prince said he will never sit by and watch me invite my son-in-law to enter the door. If I choose one, he will mess with the other. Just spend it with me like this, and in the end, I will not marry. Neither will he."
With nose and eyes, she almost believed it when she said it.
Not to mention Lu Lin.
King Xingyang, who is good at imagining fanciful plots, doesn't know how many unwavering and beautiful pictures he thought of, his eyes suddenly burst with amazing light, and he blurted out: "Okay, this is a good man with deep affection! Compared with me back then, it is only worse. A little bit. Xiaoyu, such a good son-in-law, you can't miss it!"
…
Finally got past my father first.
For this plausible reason, she changed her mind and no longer recruited a son-in-law, but wanted to marry the Second Prince, which was not abrupt.
At least, it will not arouse suspicion from the family.
Lu Mingyu let out a sigh of relief and said softly, "I originally thought that I would invite a husband to come in and I can stay by my father's side for a long time in the future. But the Second Prince is so stubborn..."
"Stalking and fighting are too ugly. This is clearly because love is more determined than Jin Jian." Lu Lin whispered.
Lu Mingyu just pretended she didn't hear it and continued: "I felt irritated, and I didn't know what to do for a while. After returning, I stayed in the house alone for most of the day, and I haven't made up my mind yet."
Lu Lin smiled and comforted his daughter: "It's a matter of life, you should really think about it."
"Don't worry about it. Dad will still say the same thing. If you want to marry, you can marry. If you don't want to marry, you can invite a son-in-law to enter the house. No matter how capable the Second Prince is, he can't force you to marry him."
She can't deny the debt, the creditor comes to collect the debt, and he can't do anything if she doesn't pay it back!
Lu Mingyu sighed in her heart, and her face was still calm: "I told the Second Prince. I have to think about it for a while, and I will give him an answer after the hairpin ceremony."
Lu Lin nodded, stood up, and touched Lu Mingyu's head: "Xiaoyu, don't worry. Your father will take care of everything. If you are bored at home, go to Shen's house tomorrow, and talk to your future second sister-in-law. Talk to relieve boredom."
Familiar words, mixed with emotion and tears, hit her heart together.
Lu Mingyu's nose twitched and she choked up in tears.
