After His Favored Concubine Ran Away, the Aloof Heir Lost Control

As the Heir's only woman, A-Ning was undoubtedly favored. However, she knew in her heart that it was merely because she had accompanied him for a long time. An orphan, she had been brought back to the Duke's manor by Lu Ji when she was young and raised by his side; it was inevitable that some feelings had developed. The Duke's manor maintained a strict and upright family tradition, so A-Ning did not dare to harbor any improper thoughts. She planned in her heart to save up as much personal money as possible, so that once the main wife entered the manor, she could tactfully depart. — With a noble status and great achievements at a young age, most men of such caliber are arrogant. Lu Ji was no exception. He disdained coaxing women and lacked the patience for it, though he could show a few more traces of pleasantness toward the young girl who had always followed him. But ever since returning from his military campaign, Lu Ji discovered that his little concubine was acting somewhat strange, acting furtively and secretly, as if she were surreptitiously hoarding silver. A man as proud as him could not allow the person by his side to harbor a divided heart. He gave her a chance to correct her behavior, using both soft and hard tactics to ask her for the reason, yet the little concubine only stammered and gave him perfunctory answers. Ultimately, the Heir lost his patience and left her aside. Yet, even when he stopped paying her attention, she continued to go about her ways as usual. Instead, it was Lu Ji himself whose heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat all day long.
