Chapter 41: The Clever Maiden

After Wanyue and Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao for a while, the two exchanged glances, and then walked to Lu Zhiyao's side in unison and carried her into the house.

Lu Zhiyao looked at the two of them with serious expressions, and asked again with some nervousness, "What's wrong?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yudie repeated the words of the landing, and asked with an expression that was a little wrong: "Miss, what happened last night, don't you remember it at all?" ”

Yu Die's words made Lu Zhiyao's heart tremble suddenly, could it be that he got into some trouble after he got drunk?! Lu Zhiyao frowned in annoyance, but he still couldn't remember the slightest thing. Shaking his head weakly, Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice, "Do you know when I came back last night?" ”

"Knowing the way, of course knowing the way!" Seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused face, Yudie guessed that she was really drunk last night. sighed in his heart that this eldest lady was really bold, and dared to go to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to drink and make trouble, and after Lu Zhiyao sat down, Yu Die said what Lin Yinan had asked him to pass on to Lu Zhiyao last night. "The Eighth Prince sent you back last night, and the Eighth Prince asked me to tell you that he promised to help you, but with one condition, I hope you won't run to him to drink and make trouble in the future. Don't drink, everything is easy to say! ”

Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao suddenly annoyed and ashamed, and she didn't know what happened to her last night, as long as Lu Zhiyao thought of Lin Yinan's playful and ridiculous expression when she said that, she felt uncomfortable.

"Hey." Yudie let out a long sigh, gave Wanyue a look and asked her to stay by Lu Zhiyao's side to serve, and then whispered to Lu Zhiyao, "I'll go get you something to eat." ”

After Yudie left, Lu Zhiyao still couldn't believe that he was really embarrassed last night. Looking at Wanyue hesitantly, Lu Zhiyao asked her in a low voice about the truth of Yudie's words. What can be obtained is still the answer of the moon.

"After the Eighth Prince sent someone to pick you up last night, my sister has been staying in your room and waiting for you to come back. Later, when she saw that it was the Eighth Prince who sent you personally, she was shocked! Your clothes were taken off by my sister, I don't believe I found it for you, you smell it, you smell it! ”

"It's a shame this time." Lu Zhiyao muttered to himself in his heart, but he didn't know that she was not ashamed last night, but shocked many people.

Lu Zhiyao was not in the mood to think about anything else because he was drunk, so he spent the morning in the room like this, until after noon, Lan Ruoya appeared in front of her.

Lan Ruoyan's strange eyes made Lu Zhiyao feel even more embarrassed, it seems that the people around Lin Yinan should have seen her ugly appearance after drinking too much. Lu Zhiyao smiled at Lan Ruoya with a bit of flattery, but unfortunately it didn't make Lan Ruoya's expression change in any way.

Lan Ruoya looked at Lu Zhiyao in front of her intently, she really couldn't believe that this woman was able to defeat Ling Yi with one move.

Lan Ruoya thought about it, and couldn't help but lose her mind. After suddenly coming to her senses, Lan Ruoya secretly clenched her fists and told herself that now was not the time to think about that.

"The Eighth Prince asked me to help you." While Lan Ruoya spoke, her eyes glanced at the maid beside Lu Zhiyao.

Lu Zhiyao understood what she meant, so he sent both Wanyue and Yudie out, leaving only her and Lan Ruoyan in the room.

"I didn't expect that the person sent by the Eighth Prince turned out to be Miss Lan, so I can rest assured." Lu Zhiyao only thought that Lin Yinan was trying to show his sincerity, so he sent such a powerful character as Lan Ruoya. But she didn't know that in fact, Lin Yinan now only had Lan Ruoya by her side, a trustworthy woman, in order not to arouse suspicion, let Lan Ruoya help her, even if she was accidentally bumped into, she could come up with excuses and reasons. "I hope that Miss Lan can help me stay near my mother's grave, and if someone wants to open the coffin and steal the body, I will immediately arrest them."

"It's not that hard." Lan Ruoyan nodded and happily agreed to Lu Zhiyao's request. "What else?"

"Also, pay attention to the movements of my second mother Ye Lianrong, I don't think she will do it herself, because she doesn't have the time and energy. Don't bother with the rest of the Blue Girl, I'll take care of it myself. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange for someone to go to your mother's grave now. If there's anything going on, I'll send someone to inform you. ”

Lan Ruoyan did things neatly, and after a while, she and Lu Zhiyao decided on a plan. After Lan Ruoyan left, Lu Zhiyao's heart slowly landed. Standing in the courtyard, looking at the direction Lan Ruoyan left, Lu Zhiyao felt that Lan Ruoyao, who dared to enter and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion so freely in broad daylight, was indeed not an ordinary person. Even if she is a person under the Eighth Prince, even if she has the Eighth Prince as a backer, it is not easy for a woman to stand at that height and have such courage. It's no wonder that my father took such a fancy to this woman at the beginning.

Lan Ruoyan quickly arranged the people, but Ye Lianrong didn't know at all, everything was going on according to schedule. Ye Lianrong received a message from Ye Shengnan, saying that she had already found someone and would go to work tonight, and asked Ye Lianrong to prepare the silver taels for him quickly, because the Feihe Tower was also pressing.

Ye Lianrong was helpless by Ye Shengnan, so she had to go to Lu Yuanzheng. Halfway through, she met Lu Zhiyao, who was taking a leisurely stroll, and Ye Lianrong's heart slowly felt bad.

Ye Lianrong acted as if she didn't see Lu Zhiyao, and went straight to the direction of the study where Lu Yuanzheng was. Lu Zhiyao smiled at Ye Lianrong's back, and whispered to Wanyue beside her: "What do you guess she went to my father for?" ”

"What good thing can the second lady do when she looks for the master!" Wanyue pursed her lips disdainfully, and returned: "It's not to say bad things about you, Miss, or to have any favorite clothes and jewelry." ”

Wanyue's impression of Ye Lianrong has been ingrained and cannot be changed, which makes Lu Zhiyao want to laugh happily. If it weren't for Ye Lianrong's previous excesses, she wouldn't have picked such a good maid.

"Let's go, follow me and see."

Lu Zhiyao took Wanyue and followed Ye Lianrong slowly. After Ye Lianrong entered the study, Lu Zhiyao sped up a little.

Lu Zhiyao asked Wanyue to stay outside the courtyard, and once someone came, she could give herself some hints. Creeping into the courtyard, Lu Zhiyao listened attentively to the conversation between Ye Lianrong and Lu Yuanzheng, and the more he listened, the more interesting he felt.

Lu Yuanzheng's henchmen appeared unexpectedly, making the face of Xuanyue, who was in charge of controlling the wind, turn white all of a sudden. Trying to stabilize himself and make himself look less thief-minded, Wanyue took the initiative to stop the man and grinned.

"Why are you here?" Chu Hansheng frowned suspiciously when he saw Wanyue, then turned his head to look at the courtyard, and saw Lu Zhiyao's sneaky figure. "What is the eldest lady doing?"

"Shh......h Wanyue's eyes twitched, and she thought about it. Pulling Chu Hansheng's sleeve and walking away, Wanyue smiled mysteriously: "Don't go over yet, our young lady has something to do with the master, and she is thinking about giving the master a surprise!" If you pass now, you will definitely upset Miss. What is the status of the eldest lady in the mansion now, I don't say that you also know the way, right? ”

Chu Hansheng listened to Wanyue's words and let out an "oh". looked in the direction of the courtyard again, and met the gaze projected by Lu Zhiyao impartially. Chu Hansheng was stunned for a moment, nodded quickly to Lu Zhiyao, and talked to Wanyue again.

"Miss, what kind of surprise do you want to give to the master?" Chu Hansheng asked curiously.

"I don't know what to say, Miss didn't tell me anything." Wanyue lied without a red face and a heartbeat, and after seeing Lu Zhiyao coming over, she said to Chu Hansheng: "Oh, the eldest lady is here, you can ask her yourself!" ”

Lu Zhiyao walked to Xuanyue's side and pursed his lips and smiled. Looking at Chu Hansheng's curious eyes, Lu Zhiyao turned his head to look at Wanyue and asked her silently.

"Miss, everyone has seen you, don't hide it, tell us what surprise you want to give the master! You see that Brother Chu and I are here, and we have been guessing for a long time! ”

Lu Zhiyao listened to Wanyue's words and smiled softly. Looking directly at Chu Hansheng, Lu Zhiyao said boldly: "Don't tell my father about my coming here today." I wanted to surprise him, but I didn't expect Erniang to be inside. I listened to them as if I couldn't finish for a while, so I went back first, and came back to him later. I'll tell you two this secret, and if you reveal it to me, don't blame me for not sparing you! ”

Wanyue and Chu Hansheng nodded again and again, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head twistedly, twisted his hand around the hem of his clothes and continued: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just something about me and the Eighth Prince......

Lu Zhiyao's words were unclear, which made Chu Hansheng, who listened to her, have to think about it. These days, everyone has been rumoring that the eighth prince has affection for the eldest lady, although neither of them nodded affirmatively, but the eighth prince has also come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see the eldest lady a few times, it shouldn't be wrong, right? Chu Hansheng remembered that Lu Zhiqing had been ruined, even if he married the Seventh Prince, he should not be favored, but this eldest lady has been more and more pleasing to the eye recently, and she is much more beautiful than before, so he naturally wants to follow Lu Zhiyuan's meaning.

"Don't worry, Miss, I won't tell anyone about this."

Chu Hansheng's sworn guarantee satisfied Lu Zhiyao. Feeling out a certain piece of silver, Lu Zhiyao stuffed it into his hand under Chu Hansheng's surprised gaze, and then said softly: "In the past, for some reasons, it was impossible to give you any benefits. But now it's different, it's not easy to be a slave, you just accept this, you will serve him by my father's side in the future, even if I marry one day, I won't forget your goodness. ”
