Cheng Yi left, and Lou Ju immediately turned his head towards Wei Luo's room door, shouting loudly: "Wei Luo? Wei Luo?"

  Weiluo's mind was racing, she was thinking of a way to save herself, but so far, she hadn't come up with even half a plan - it seemed that apart from resignedly going to the residence of the Duke of Jingling, she had no other options!

  Strictly speaking, Wei Luo was only temporarily staying in the cavalry to help out, and no one in the cavalry had the right to dispose of her. However, in reality, no one would think that way, and as long as she stayed with the cavalry for a day, they could do whatever they wanted with her. Whether it was killing her or giving her away as a gift, no one could raise any objections.

  Wei Luo bit her lower lip, deep in thought, when the guard outside the door frowned impatiently and shouted to either side: "Open the door and take him out!"

  "Yes."

  The two swordsmen responded in unison and strode towards the door of the house.

  At this point, Wei Luo could no longer delay. She took a deep breath and decided to fight back with all her might.

  With a creak, the door opened and everyone looked up at the same time, gazing at the dark and thin little boy standing in the doorway.

  Lou Mou looked her up and down for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion, it was clear that he couldn't understand why such an unremarkable little girl could attract other people's attention.

  Weiluo stood quietly at the door, his eyes cast down, and said softly: "Head Steward, Weiluo is here."

  Lou nodded and a faint smile appeared on his round face. He looked at Wei Luo and said slowly, "You're called Wei Luo? Why is it that you have the surname Wei but are not from the same clan?"

  It seems this big shot has already forgotten he's met Velo before.

  Weiluo quietly raised his eyes and met his gaze, softly replying: "I've been away from home since I was a child, so I don't know the details either."

  The sentence was just a casual question, seeing her say that, he slightly nodded and didn't dwell on the matter anymore. His voice slightly rose, and with a smile, he said: "Wei Luo, although you have a famous name, in reality, you are of lowly birth. You have great fortune to be remembered by the young master of Jingling. The Madam is considering your future wealth and prosperity, wanting to send you back to the young master's estate. If there is wealth and honor, don't forget about each other!"

  Wei Luo's expressionless face twitched slightly as she was about to say something, but Lou Yu had already started smiling coldly in a neither-clear-nor-murky tone. "Is Cheng Xi your lover? He tried to stop you from being wealthy and noble just now, but I've already driven him away. Wei Luo, with your identity and looks, it's a rare fortune that you can gain the favor of a noble, let alone the Prince of Jingling. Take care of yourself."

  Although he didn't believe that Weiluo's talent would truly be valued by the Duke of Jingling and thus gain wealth and honor, in order to be thorough, he still spoke these words of advice that were somewhat mild and slightly bitter.

  After saying this, he didn't look at Wei Luo again and didn't give her a chance to speak. He waved his hand and said indifferently: "Wait for Wei Luo to get dressed."

  As soon as the words fell, Wei Luo had already said loudly: "No need!"

  When her clear voice attracted everyone's attention, Wei Luo had a warm and gentle smile on his face, saying: "With Wei Luo's appearance, wearing gorgeous clothes, surrounded by jade belts, and being sent to the mansion of the Duke of Jingling in a grand manner, it would attract people's ridicule. I'm afraid the young master will also be dissatisfied and feel ridiculed by the host."

  Lou Yu was stunned, staring at Wei Luo as he thought about it and also felt that it made sense. Wei Luo's appearance was really unremarkable, let alone in the midst of beautiful people in the Jinling Prince's estate, even if he walked on the streets of Xintian, not a single person would have any thoughts about him. Such an ordinary and ugly child, being sent out with such fanfare, might provoke the Jinling Prince, making him think that Master Mei was intentionally sending an ugly child to humiliate him.

  Lou nodded and waved her hand, saying to the maids: "All of you withdraw."

  "Yes."

  The maids all responded in soft voices and retreated with their heads lowered.

  The crowd turned to several swordsmen in hemp clothing, and said in a warm voice: "Please take this child to the mansion by carriage."

  Several swordsmen simultaneously clasped their hands and responded loudly: "Yes."

  Under the escort of the swordsmen, Wei Luo, who had tidied herself up a bit, got on the carriage with her luggage and headed to the Duke of Jingling's residence.

  After hearing Wei Luo's words, Lou Shi didn't dare to send her off with great fanfare, but also didn't dare to be too neglectful. Therefore, the horse-drawn carriage she was sitting in had a swordsman wearing a hemp garment on each side, and Lou Shi herself also got into another horse-drawn carriage to personally escort her there.

  Before long, the horse carriage arrived at the Gongzi Mansion of Jingling. After entering through a side door, it stopped shortly afterwards. The several swordsmen guarding Wei Luo's carriage stood still outside, while Lou Yu got off and followed a servant from the mansion towards the main hall.

  Wei Luo sat listlessly in the carriage, no longer feeling anxious. From her interactions with Prince Jingling, it was clear that he had not connected her to the deceased Princess of Yue. Since that was the case, she didn't have anything to be tense about. Alright, from now on, when seeing him, she would try to act normally and nothing should happen.

  She sat there for a good two hours. Just as the sun was high in the sky, Lou Ju hurried back.

  As soon as he arrived at the carriage, he looked at Wei Luo with a strange gaze. The carriage started again and stopped in a small square. Before Wei Luo got off the carriage, he walked up to Wei Luo's carriage in big strides, bowed deeply, smiled extremely kindly and respectfully, "You are a noble person, if you gain wealth and honor, please don't forget me!"

  Wei Luo lifted the car curtain and blinked her almond-shaped eyes, looking at him with a puzzled expression as he stood there with his back straight and his head bowed.

  Lou saw her looking confused, chuckled and explained: "When the Duke of Jingling heard your name, he actually said a 'good' word, and even ordered you to go to his study."

  The sentence stopped here, and Wei Luo's small face turned a bit pale, and she involuntarily stopped talking.

  Wei Luo lowered her eyelids, covering up the unease in her heart, and smiled faintly: "Very well, I'll go."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly got down from the carriage. As soon as she landed, a eunuch stepped forward and shouted at her in a sharp voice: "Are you Wei Luo? Follow me!"

  "Agreed."

  Wei Luo quietly promised and followed behind the eunuch, walking forward with her head lowered.

  She walked less than twenty meters, and the sound of Lou's footsteps came, he hurriedly ran to Wei Luo's side, with a smile all over his face, saying again: "Wei Luo, if you get rich and noble, don't forget me!"

  This is already the third time he has said this sentence.

  Wei Luo smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "Yes."

  After getting the word "然" from Wei Luo, Lou Ju stopped in his tracks with a satisfied expression and watched her leave. It wasn't until Wei Luo's figure disappeared that the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a look of confusion. After a while, he shook his head and turned to leave.
