Chapter 89: My Future Master
The sun rays shone on the lady’s clean and fair-skinned face, causing her smile to appear exceptionally gentle.
However, upon closer inspection, her smile did not reach her eyes at all.
Lin Jiang was all too familiar with this aura.
The figure and aura of that ‘heroine’ back then were identical to this girl in front of him.
He felt that he was not mistaken. Perhaps, she did not want to admit this as she had some difficulty.
“How dare you make me apologize to you?”
After some time, Huier suddenly spoke sharply.
Lin Jiang frowned and shot an unhappy glance at Huier.
“You dare to lie through your teeth. Why can’t I make you apologize?”
Lu Sheng kept the two red flower clips and looked at Huier. “I’ve been here the whole time. You knocked into me and hurt my sister. I didn’t want to bicker with you, but you twisted the facts. Do you really think you’re the Emperor?”
“You…”
Lu Sheng scoffed. “What about you? Do you really think everyone is as blind as you in broad daylight?”
Huier was so embarrassed by her words that she could barely bear it. Her pleading gaze landed on Shangguan Linger.
“Miss, she humiliated me!”
Shangguan Linger glanced at Lin Jiang and her eyes flashed. Then, she suddenly smiled and said, “Miss, it was my mistake not to discipline my servant well. I’m sorry for offending you.”
As she spoke, she untied the pouch hanging from her waist and passed it to Lu Sheng. “Please accept my small token of appreciation.”
“Miss!”
Huier looked at her master in disbelief.
In the past, regardless of whether she was right or wrong, her master would always stand on her side. Why was it that today…
Shangguan Linger’s expression turned cold. “Shut up and apologize to this lady now!”
Huier gritted her teeth and apologized reluctantly.
Lu Sheng received the pouch from Shangguan Linger. Without even sparing Huier a glance, she turned around and left with her two terrified children.
“Young Master Lin, you know that lady?”
After Lu Sheng walked away, Shangguan Linger asked Lin Jiang.
With a faint smile, Lin Jiang said with affirmation, “My future master.”
As he returned to the Lin Jiang Mansion, he did not see that heroine.
After staying there for a while, he returned to Huang Yang Town.
He was good friends with Shangguan Ye. Shangguan Ye had something on today, so he got Shangguan Linger to accompany him out for a walk.
From afar, he saw a woman who resembled the heroine from that day. She seemed to be having an argument with someone.
He did not expect the person arguing with her to be Shuangguan Linger’s servant, Huier.
Shangguan Linger was doubtful. The lady just now was dressed simply and casually. One could tell that she was not someone of high status.
How could Lin Jiang have seen her before and even said that she was his future master?
“I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t continue shopping with you.”
Lin Jiang nodded at her and walked into the crowd.
In order to console the two children, Lu Sheng brought them to the pastry shop, where she prepared to buy some pastries to calm them down.
She opened the pouch that Shangguan Linger had given her. She thought that it contained a few dozen taels. Who knew that there was only three taels inside?
Lu Sheng pouted in distain and bought pastries with those three taels.
The boss of the pastry shop could not stop smiling. He packed the pastries for her merrily and even sent them to the carriage for her.
