"I'm not listening!"

Jiang Zhixia gave up entirely.

The document in front of me details the verdict against the Lu family. Of all the members of the Lu family, only Lu Jue is still alive.

Since Jiang Ting has already thoroughly investigated Lu Jue, what else does she have to worry about?

Now only she can protect Lu Jue.

And it must be said that Jiang Ting is truly skilled at investigating people.

The document also contains Lu Jue's entire experience.

He awakened his spiritual power at the age of 5, and his family began to nurture him with all their might at the age of 8. He entered military school at the age of 14, and within just three years, all his ratings approached perfect. Little Lu Jue's future can be described as bright.

He was 17 when the Lu family fell from power.

Because he was training at the military academy and did not participate in the battle, he escaped the death penalty and was thrown into the slave market, falling from a nobleman to a slave. During this time, he tried to escape countless times and was beaten, but he never yielded.

The more she looked at it, the more heartbroken she felt.

Because she knew that the Lu family was innocent.

In the original story, Lu Jue was willing to stay by the female lead's side as a guard because his status as a slave left him nowhere else to go.

However, he fell in love with the female lead because he always wanted to exonerate the Lu family. The female lead was like a naive and innocent girl, saying "I believe in the Lu family" and "I will help you," but in reality, she turned around and hid the evidence that could prove the Lu family's innocence, claiming that she "didn't want him to live in hatred."

Bullshit.

If she were Lu Jue, she would never let go of the person who killed her family, even if it meant death!

She no longer concealed her bias, and mustered her courage to meet Jiang Ting's gaze: "I want Lu Jue."

Jiang Ting looked at her, his tone so flat that it revealed no emotion.

"You like him."

It's not a question, it's a statement.

Jiang Zhixia was stunned: "..." Really?

She pinched her nose and admitted, "Yes, I like him. The reason I didn't treat him like a slave is because I like him."

Perfect, let's give this ruthless character who forcibly kissed his "younger sister" a good thrashing.

But she didn't succeed.

Jiang Ting didn't seem to be provoked and remained calm.

He remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Fine, you can take him with you if you want."

Jiang Zhixia's eyes lit up.

"Give me control of the slave chips."

Jiang Zhixia: "..." How come there's this trick too?

She was utterly speechless at Jiang Ting's controlling nature.

……

Lu Jue was driven crazy by the thought that he had been abandoned.

He wanted to tell the princess that he hadn't lied to her on purpose. Although his eyesight had improved, it hadn't fully recovered until the day of the insectoid attack, when the intense fragrance instantly restored his vision.

But this is also a form of concealment.

He hasn't been able to apologize to her yet.

I haven't even had a chance to get a clear look at her face yet.

"Squeak—"

The door opened.

A familiar, light fragrance wafted in slowly.

Lu Jue paused for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

Jiang Zhixia stood at the door, wearing a light-colored dress, her hair loosely tied up, a gentle smile on her face, and her bright eyes looking at him.

"I'm so glad to see you," she said softly. "Why are you looking like this?"

Lu Jue was stunned.

This was the first time he had truly seen Jiang Zhixia clearly.

With fair skin, pale pink lips, and eyes that seemed to be filled with soft starlight, she exuded an indescribable vibrancy and brightness.

It was even more beautiful than he had imagined countless times.

"Princess..." He opened his mouth, but his voice was terribly hoarse.

Jiang Zhixia approached him and squatted down.

Only then did she notice that Lu Jue not only had wolf ears and a wolf tail, but his whole body was also trembling slightly, and his gray-blue eyes, which had been cloudy before, were staring at her without blinking.

His silver-gray wolf tail twitched uneasily, and his lips trembled as he spoke, "Princess, don't you... want me anymore?"

Jiang Zhixia was baffled: "When did I say I didn't want you anymore? I came to pick you up."

It felt like I'd been hit hard in the chest, and after the intense tremor, I was filled with relief.

He was not abandoned!

Jiang Zhixia looked into his eyes with great relief: "Your eyes are indeed healed."

Lu Jue's eyes reddened slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed: "Princess... I'm sorry."

"Huh? What are you sorry for?"

He lowered his head, his voice heavy with trepidation, "I hid the fact that my eyes were getting better. I was afraid that if I told you, you would never be so kind to me again."

Jiang Zhixia was both amused and exasperated: "Just for this?"

Lu Jue's wolf ears drooped down little by little, and his tail hung listlessly on the ground.

They look so pitiful.

Jiang Zhixia's heart softened completely. She took his hand and said, "It's a good thing your eyes are better. Why wouldn't I be good to you? I'll be even better to you!"

Lu Jue looked up, his eyes lighting up: "Really?"

"Really," Jiang Zhixia said with a smile, "Let's go home."

"Home……"

Lu Jue repeated the word, slowly stood up, his gaze lingering on Jiang Zhixia's face.

Jiang Zhixia was puzzled by his gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Princess."

"what?"

You look so beautiful.

Jiang Zhixia's face flushed.

They finally managed to pick up the person and sped back to the palace.

But this is not the "home" she promised Lu Jue.

With Su Chen in her left hand, Lu Jue in her right, and Xiao Bai hanging in her arms, Jiang Zhixia made a heartfelt call to the Empress, telling her that she was in great shape and not to worry, before slipping away.

Queen: "..."

Is she trying to drive me crazy?

Jiang Zhixia moved into another villa with lots of bags and packages.

Don't ask, the answer is simple: how could a princess of the empire only own one villa!

The new villa is fully equipped, but it has been uninhabited for many years and still needs to be cleaned.

Su Chen rolled up his sleeves and took on the task of tidying up the room.

Why not use a smart home assistant for this task?

I only realized after moving in that the smart home system for this villa is very abstract.

"The all-new fifth-generation super-intelligent butler, awesome! Greetings to its owner!"

Jiang Zhixia's eyelids twitched. After giving the command for the seventh time and still only hearing 666's self-introduction, she kicked it away and turned to tidy up the room with Su Chen.

Lu Jue was also involved, and his improved eyesight was exposed. Jiang Zhixia was ruthless in using people, and she ordered the big wolfhound to clean the house.

The small villa suddenly became lively.

Even Xiaobai isn't sticking to Xiangxiang's owner right now, and is running around everywhere in the new house.

Finally finished tidying up, Jiang Zhixia sprawled out on the sofa.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm so hungry..."

Su Chen was about to speak.

"Command received!"

Suddenly, 666 came back to life, brandishing its mechanical arm and rushing into the kitchen. "Dinner is about to be prepared for our four masters! Please wait patiently!"

Jiang Zhixia: "..."

Is it just a gimmick? Did it only start working after everyone else had finished their tasks?

If they dare to make anything weird or waste food, she'll tear it apart!

But 666 lived up to her nickname; the food she made earned her a thumbs up, "666!"

666: "I'm here!"

Su Chen chuckled softly.

Lu Jue moved closer to Jiang Zhixia, then realized he no longer needed to be fed, and sat up straight to eat.

Little White occupied Jiang Zhixia's embrace, proudly wagging its tail, which was only covered with a layer of downy fur.

Ha, it's still the most favored!
