Zhan Xiaolou glared at her. She didn't care about the Imperial Advisors. Anyone who came up with this idea definitely didn't have any good intentions. Moreover, when Lu Cheng said this, there was no respect at all.

"Forget about it. If I don't go, I'm going to comfort Ning Yu."

After finishing her last mouthful of wine, she turned around and left without giving Lu Cheng any chance to explain himself.

Now, it was better to take things one step at a time. It was still more important to hug the Duke Yan's thick legs and see if he could help to bring Lu Cheng back with him when the time came …

If Zhan Xiaolou were to turn back and look at Lu Cheng, he would most likely be able to see her extremely ferocious expression. Furthermore, her body was twitching as if she was about to die.

Two completely different voices came out of Lu Cheng's mouth. One of them was the voice Lu Cheng had spoken to Zhan Xiaolou earlier, while the other was especially mute, as if he had just emerged from the abyss of hell.

Lu Cheng couldn't bear the pain any longer and growled in a low voice, "Come out, I was wrong!"

"Haha, coward!"

"Ning Yu, are you there?" Zhan Xiaolou remembered that Ning Yu had entered the room earlier and had easily found her way here.

However, after knocking on the door for a long time, she didn't receive any response. Furthermore, there was no sound from the door at all.

Sensing that something was wrong, Zhan Xiaolou called the servant who was standing in the yard. "Come here!"

"What orders do you have, Miss?" The manservant quickly walked over and asked with a lowered head and a pleasing tone. Moreover, his soft voice made Zhan Xiaolou feel uncomfortable.

Without thinking about anything else, Zhan Xiaolou ran straight to the main topic at hand. "Have you seen the boy who lives in this room? Has he gone out or is he?"

"Are you talking about a man who is not very handsome, but is also very tall?" The manservant said with certainty. He was going to say that Ning Yu was ugly, but he changed his mind when he saw the look in Zhan Xiaoluo's eyes.

Zhan Xiaolou nodded. "Where is he now?"

"I got someone to send a message to you just now. I think it was to go out and look for someone. He said that he would be back soon."

Hearing that, Lou Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. He reckoned that Old Feng and Xiao Wen had come looking for Ning Yu, who would probably be with them!

"Thank you, you may leave!" Zhan Xiaolou waved him off. She wanted to return to her room to rest, but Lu Cheng had yet to tell her where she was staying.

She had no choice but to return to Lu Cheng's room and have someone lead the way to a ghost's yard, even though it was only a house. However, there was bamboo and fake mountains. Furthermore, the house's decorations were very elegant, giving off a very stylish air. It was quite to Lou Cheng's liking.

"Can I stay here alone?" Zhan Xiaolou looked at the bamboo forest that entered his sight and asked the maid next to him with great interest.

The maid was somewhat hesitant and did not answer her question.

This was because this was a place Lu Cheng had purposely given to Zhan Xiaolou. If someone else were to live here, the nature of the place would change. It wasn't because of the fact that their friendship was greater than the heavens and they didn't know who Zhan Xiaolou was going to let in. It was indeed hard for her to answer.

"I don't have any other intentions. It's my friend from before. I want to live with him, is that not okay?"

Zhan Xiaolou understood the meaning behind the maid's words, but she didn't have any other intentions. She just wanted to stay with Ning Yu and have someone to take care of her. As for the others, she hadn't thought of them either.

If she didn't agree, then she could only go out and live next door to Ning Yu or move out.
