Actually, the situation in the room is like this:
As soon as Lu Xingjiang closed the door, his face became stern. “Tell me, Princess, how did you end up here? Did the Emperor allow you to leave the palace?”
Seeing his serious expression, in order to maintain the original owner’s character, Lu Lili gently shook her head and blinked her innocent and clear eyes. She answered softly, “No, Imperial Brother, I snuck out on my own.”
“What? You snuck out on your own?” Lu Xingjiang narrowed his eyes in disbelief.
How could his usually quiet and obedient younger sister, who lived like a mute, dare to leave the palace on her own?
Could it be…
After thinking of something, anger tainted Lu Xingjiang’s tone. “Then what’s your relationship with that man outside the door? Did you run away from the palace to elope with him? How far have you two progressed?!”
He took on the appearance of a sorrowful and indignant father questioning his daughter about her early love. His gentle and affectionate features were now frowned tightly, his expression obviously filled with anger.
“…” Lu Lili suddenly felt guilty under his questioning, as if she had really been caught having an early love.
She couldn’t possibly say that she had no relationship with Pei Yijian at all.
At the very least, in the previous world, they were the most intimate couple.
Before Lu Lili could answer anything, he spoke again with a firm tone. “Come, I’ll take you back to the palace! I, as your brother, will definitely plead for you in front of Imperial Father and bear the punishment on your behalf!”
Seeing this, Lu Lili’s eyes rolled around.
In the face of this situation, what should she do?
Hehe, of course, she should cry!
When dealing with someone like the male lead, who is sentimental and easily soft-hearted, tears are undoubtedly the best weapon!
So, without saying a word, she burst into tears, choked up, lowered her head, and said sorrowfully, “Imperial Brother, you misunderstood me. I came out to find you!”
“Find me?” Lu Xingjiang was extremely surprised, looking at her attentively, waiting for her explanation.
Lu Lili wiped her tears and complained pitifully, “Imperial Brother, ever since you left the palace, I have been alone inside, with no one to love me or care for me! I feel lonely and miserable, so I secretly came out to find you! Imperial Brother… *sob, sob*…”
Seeing her crying, Lu Xingjiang suddenly went from being angry to being at a loss.
The thing couldn’t bear the most was to see a girl cry, no matter who she was.
Whenever he saw a girl crying, his heart would soften and he couldn’t stay mad anymore.
Lu Xingjiang could only quickly speak to console her, “Alright, alright, Little Sister, stop crying…
“Imperial Brother is wrong, I misunderstood you, I’m sorry…
“As a man, Imperial Brother ventured into the world to gain experience and grow! But the world is dangerous, and it’s not suitable for a girl like you. It’s better for you to go back to the palace, alright?”
*Sigh*, Lu Xingjiang is distressed!
He certainly knows that they, the siblings, are invisible in the palace, truly unloved and uncared for.
Living there had made him feel suffocated and wanting to escape, so he didn’t doubt what Lu Lili said.
But she ran out of the palace secretly to find him, and he didn’t have the time to love and care for her as her imperial brother!
After all, he is so busy every day…
For example, at this inn alone, there are already three frail and pitiful women who need his care…
When Lili heard that Luhang Jiang still wanted to send her back to the palace, she continued crying:
“Imperial Brother, our Mother passed away early, and there’s only you, my elder brother, who loves me. If you’re going out to travel the martial arts world, I also want to go with you. I really don’t want to go back to that cold and heartless palace anymore! *Sob*…”
In the end, she secretly praised herself in her heart.
Very good, a crying performance with a perfect score~
