Chapter 320 The Scoundrel Young Master 6 (1/2)

Chapter 320 The Scoundrel Young Master 6 Zhao Xiulan carefully locked the money in the cabinet and walked out with an uncontrollable joy on her face.

The moment he happened to meet Zixi, who was carrying a small bundle, at the door.

The thick wad of five thousand dollars in the cabinet in the main room had vanished without anyone noticing.

Zi Xi carried a light little bundle in her hand, her face still showing that docile look, and walked to the side of Lu's eldest sister-in-law.

Looking at Shen Zixi, who was all alone, Lu's eldest sister-in-law glanced at the door and sighed.

Lu Ran, that kid, never showed up.

“Uncle and Aunt, sister, look… Lu Ran is busy and might not be back for a while. How about we go back first? We can’t miss the auspicious time.”

"Once Lu Ran finishes his work, he'll definitely go home as soon as possible."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, but she maintained her smile and spoke gently to the Shen couple and Shen Zixi.

"I will follow my sister-in-law's arrangements."

Zi Xi raised her head, revealing a pair of clear and sensible eyes, and nodded obediently in a gentle voice.

As Shen Zixi prepared to leave with Lu's eldest sister-in-law, Zhou Qingjian impatiently urged Shen Yurong to get into the sedan chair.

Shen Yurong, with a red veil covering her face, was helped out by her bridesmaids.

"Oh, the bride is walking alone? This young master of the Lu family is really arrogant, not even showing up to greet the bride? It seems my sister's 'good fortune' is yet to come!"

As she passed Zixi, she paused and deliberately raised her voice, her tone filled with sarcasm, as if she were speaking to everyone.

She emphasized the word "good fortune," her tone filled with schadenfreude.

Without waiting for a response, he left the Shen family at Zhou Qingjian's urging.

Zi Xi seemed not to hear Shen Yurong's sarcasm, and remained quietly standing beside Lu's eldest sister-in-law. Only when she lowered her eyes did a mocking smile appear on her lips.

Carrying her light bundle, she followed Lu's eldest sister-in-law and calmly walked out of the Shen family's gate amidst a chorus of complex gazes.

The Lu family mansion is a small Western-style building with Suzhou-style architecture.

The new house is located on the east side of the second floor.

The room was decorated quite nicely, even elegantly.

The brand-new double bed was covered with a bright red silk quilt depicting mandarin ducks playing in the water, and on the bedside table were a pair of enamel basins and a thermos flask printed with the character for "happiness".

The dressing table was polished to a shine, and there were face cream and hair oil on it.

Amidst the sighs of regret from the wedding guests, Zi Xi learned that Lu Ran had something to do today and wouldn't be coming back, so naturally no one would come to make trouble in the bridal chamber.

After toasting the guests alone, Zi Xi returned to the bridal chamber.

She removed the heavy red veil, casually draped it over the back of a chair, and changed out of the ill-fitting wedding dress that made movement difficult.

Zi Xi showed none of the shyness and joy that a typical newlywed should have.

Her gaze swept over the sleek dressing table and finally settled on the large desk by the window.

The desk was new, with several thick books piled up haphazardly.

She stepped forward and saw the titles of the books; they were all science books on mechanical principles.

Reading a book? Is that something a slacker would do?

Zi Xi flipped through a few pages; there were also notes about sewing machines.

In the corner of the room, she also found a wooden guitar leaning against the wall.

A lonely lamp of sorrow stands by the window...

With great interest, Zi Xi picked up the instrument by the bedside, tuned it, played and sang a song called "Dong Feng Po," and then carefully put it back.

Finally, her gaze settled on the bedside table.

Beside the red silk lamp, a few gleaming yellow bullet casings lay carelessly.

After wandering around the house for a while, Zixi ate a meat bun, washed up in the shower room, and then naturally lay down on the bed to read.
