“Then, I’ll go to Huayue Pavilion tonight myself!” Dong Jing no longer felt any sympathy. Expression blank, he said, “This servant does not wish to continue hearing those unfavorable rumors about the master spreading around outside.”
Lu Yan, “…”
He really wanted to beat Dong Jing to death and be done with it!!
Dong Jing said nothing.
He said nothing as well.
After a while, Lu Yan snapped exasperatedly, “You’re so annoying.”
Dong Jing did not think that the angry master would merely call him annoying in a situation like this. He could tell that the master… likely had a lot of difficult things to disclose.
Dong Jing continued pushing him.
“I also do not intend to trouble you, but if you think about it, how would the entire Capital City view the Lu family if this gossip were to reach there?”
“Or perhaps…seeing as the Lu family is the richest in all of Northern Liang, it’s possible that the gossip will spread to half of the mainland. If the heads of the other chambers were to catch wind of this, they would definitely make fun of the Lu family behind our backs, make fun of you.”
“Just imagining it is enough to make me feel discomfited.
“I do not wish for my master to become the laughing stock of everyone under the skies. I also do not wish for the Lu Family, for whom I’ve dedicated half of my life to, to become a joke throughout the mainland.
“I implore you to not ignore your medical conditions.”
…
A few seconds later.
“Dong Jing!”
Lu Yan rubbed the white cat’s soft body, lowered his head in deep thought for a moment, then cursed, “You’re really annoying!”
Dong Jing, “…” ‘I know I’m annoying!’
Lu Yan said, “Go out first.”
Dong Jing, “…”
Did his tone just soften?
Could his master possibly be considering to think about this problem seriously?
…
Regarding Lu Yan’s personal issue, when he lost to a particular “little maid” at the Jiang residence, he had also lost all his dignity. The maid, “Cuihua”, was indeed the “divine physician” who cured Heir Pei! The divine physician had appraised Master Lu on the spot and identified that he was not well and might have a problem…which meant that he definitely did have one.
So, Master Lu’s personal issue…
It had spread to half of the upper circles of Qingzhou City from the guests’ mouths soon after they dispersed!
All the streets and alleys of the Upper East District in Qingzhou City were discussing Lu Yan’s illness.
“Hahahaha, I’ve long heard about Lu Yan’s aversion to women in the Capital City. But I didn’t think he was a eunuch.”
“Exactly. The young head of the Lu family, a eunuch, who’d believe that?”
“I saw it with my very eyes, I fear he may have deliberately lost to that woman today.”
“Right on. Just think about it, you lot. With Lu Yan’s capability, how could he have not gotten a bullseye? He just wanted a proper, fitting loss. Then, he says that he only lost because of bad luck. It’s not that he can’t bed the woman.”
“A little maid beating Lu Yan, this is probably the biggest joke of the year.”
“Maybe the Lu family has run out of luck and things might go downhill from here!”
“If the Lu family falls, there won’t be a shortage of people waiting to split up their properties and claim a piece for themselves.”
“Even if it’s just property in Qingzhou City, I’d be lining up to get my hands on it.”
…
Everyone in the upper circles had all secretly banded together and begun to make fun of Lu Yan.
The bosses of the industries under the Chamber of Commerce have also caught wind of this.
Every one of them heard the discussion about their immediate superior and were left speechless.
Although they did not dare utter any falsehoods, they could not help but think about how Lu Yan was the favorite child of the current head of the Lu family. That was why Lu Yan was able to become the current young master. Most of the businesses under the Senluo Chamber of Commerce have been in his management long ago.
They had even met the young master before, and he was very beautiful.
He was practically as beautiful as a woman.
Surely the master could not truly be having a problem in that department! That would be just terrible.
A great human tragedy!
