Chapter 33: Sowing Discord
A few maids took advantage of Liu Yiyu's absence to discuss what happened today, since their young lady came back from the last injury, they had always thought she was weird, and even more so today.
Liu Yiyu was not in the mood to think so much, and hurriedly came to Pan Wenhua's room, and after seeing Pan Wenhua, Liu Yiyu's hanging heart was a little more stable.
"Mother!" Liu Yiyu walked to Pan Wenhua's side in a panic, grabbed Pan Wenhua's arm, and said, "I'll come to live with you tonight!" ”
"What's wrong?" Pan Wenhua looked at her daughter puzzled, she had long passed the age of being coquettish, and it was impossible for her to say such things for no reason. Liu Yiyu didn't look like she was pretending, so Pan Wenhua also became nervous.
Liu Yiyu's eyes were uneasy, and after looking at Pan Wenhua twice, she drove the minions in the room out of the room, and then stopped talking about what had just happened.
Pan Wenhua was also taken aback when she heard the name Xia Yao, and was silent for a moment, she asked in a low voice, "You can't be mistaken, right?" ”
"It's impossible to be mistaken, mother, what the hell do you say is going on?"
Although Liu Yiyu said it was certain, Pan Wenhua didn't see it with her own eyes after all, and this matter was too strange, she preferred to believe that her daughter was suspicious.
"Maybe you haven't slept well in the past few days, so you're dazzled, don't be afraid, I'll stay here tonight." Pan Wenhua patted Liu Yiyu's head and comforted softly.
Now, Liu Yiyu has no other way. nodded slowly, always with Pan Wenhua, no matter where Pan Wenhua went, she had to follow, for fear that if she was alone, something strange would happen.
The maid took the jade pendant out of Liufu, and after tossing and turning, she came to the pawnshop, Lu Zhiyao knew everything. After listening to what Chu Ziqian said with a smile, she opened her mouth and said, "Go find out which pawnshop it is and steal it back for me." ”
"Steal?" Chu Ziqian was surprised that this word would come out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth.
"What? You've stolen so much, and you're still missing this piece of jade? Even though it came for nothing, it cost a lot of silver. Lu Zhiyao glanced at Chu Ziqian and said, "We have waited so long to get this finished product, I don't want to put a little more time and a tael of silver on that Liu Yiyu's body." Fortunately, the maid was opportunistic and didn't really throw things away. ”
Chu Ziqian sighed secretly, and then asked, "How can you be so sure that Liu Yiyu will remember this jade?" ”
"Because it's expensive." Lu Zhiyao didn't want to reply directly: "That kind of person, the more expensive things are, the more they can please her." Even if she died, she would not be able to forget that piece of jade in her life, because she couldn't afford it. ”
Lu Zhiyao's words are full of irony, but that's the case. She didn't notice this situation before, but now she looks back on the past very clearly. She bought two of them that year, one for Liu Yiyu and one for herself. After the Xia Mansion was breached, his piece had long been missing, and as for whether Liu Yiyu still had it in his hands, Lu Zhiyao could only guess a rough idea.
Liu Yiyu is a woman who pays great attention to her dressing, as long as there are outsiders on important occasions, she will definitely wear her best clothes and wear her most beautiful jewelry. The ring pendant she gave was something she couldn't put down, but when she came back from the Qing Underworld and appeared in the palace several times, Lu Zhiyao didn't see the ring pendant from her body.
Lu Zhiyao remembered that he had laughed at Liu Yiyu because of the matter of dressing, because it would take an hour to get dressed, and this kind of thing would never happen to him. At that time, Liu Yiyu blushed and said coquettishly to let her go, now that I think about it, maybe what Liu Yiyu wanted to say back then was to let herself get out quickly.
Lu Zhiyao thought of this and laughed self-deprecatingly. This move was just to test her, and it didn't matter if she made a mistake, because she had prepared two pieces that were exactly the same as back then. One piece is engraved with her Liu Yiyu's name, and the other is Xia Yao's.
Lu Zhiyao will be so easy to get it, it is entirely because of Chu Ziqian and the Gu family. The Gu family has several jewelry and jade shops, and if Lu Zhiyao is not mistaken, the two jade pendants she bought back then were bought from the Gu family's shop. Now that these stores have fallen into the hands of Chu Ziqian and himself, it is more convenient for Lu Zhiyao to do things. According to the memory, he drew the appearance of the ring and handed it to Chu Ziqian, and Chu Ziqian did not disappoint her at all. Although it took a little longer, what she got after the most was really exactly the same as it was then.
Chu Ziqian left Lu Zhiyao dejectedly, and when he asked which pawnshop the jade pendant had entered, his mouth was about to grin. He never felt that his family's business was doing much was a good thing, but when he got the ring pendant of the Liufu maid without much effort, Chu Ziqian couldn't help but secretly sigh at his father's shrewdness.
If Liu Yiyu saw something that shouldn't exist for the first time, which can be explained by dazzle, then the second time was completely enough to scare her.
With a scream, Liu Yiyu staggered out of the room, startling a few maids in the yard.
She has been staying with Pan Wenhua for a few days, and these few days have been very calm, nothing has happened. Who knew that this kind of thing happened again just after I returned to my room for a day!
Liu Yiyu stood in the courtyard with a pale face, trembling all over. Several maids came around to ask, and it took Liu Yiyu a long time before she found her voice.
"Go...... Go and bring me what is on my desk. ”
The maid listened to her words and entered the room, looking at Huanpei, who had appeared here again, and the maid who had changed it to silver last time was also pale with fright.
Walking in front of Liu Yiyu and handing the things to her, Liu Yiyu stood in the middle of several people, looking at the transparent jade surface carved with the word Xia Yao in the sun, and her face became more and more ugly.
Who exactly is this trick with himself twice in a row? God appeared in her room unnoticed, unnoticed by her?
With Xia Yao's appearance in her head, Liu Yiyu was so scared that she couldn't help herself. ran to Pan Wenhua and showed her something, but Pan Wenhua didn't know how to explain it for a while.
The two of them stared at the jade pendant on the table for a long time, and they still didn't want to believe that Xia Yao's soul was playing ghosts.
"Mother, is Xia Yao really dead?"
Liu Yiyu slowly raised her head and looked at Pan Wenhua, she had always heard others talk about the Xia family, saying that Xia Yao was dead. But she didn't see it with her own eyes, so it's possible that Xia Yao is still alive, isn't it?
The last time I was knocked unconscious and sent to Prince Luo's Mansion, the person who was most likely to do that was Xia Yao! There is also the matter of Jiang Han being hunted down, think about it carefully, the only people who can hate the Jiang family to that extent are the people of the Xia family, right?
Lin Yixiang kept saying that Xia Yao was really dead, and he saw it with his own eyes. But now, his words are becoming more and more like a lie.
Liu Yiyu clenched the jade pendant in her hand violently, stood up and looked at Pan Wenhua.
"I'm going to Prince Luo's Mansion and ask Prince Luo for clarification!"
"Daughter, are you ...... now It's not a good place to go there, is it? ”
"No matter." Liu Yiyu's heart was crossed, compared with Nangong Nuo'er, she was more afraid of Xia Yao, who didn't know whether she was dead or alive!
Liu Yiyu thought about it well, changed her clothes and hurriedly went out. Sitting in a sedan chair directly to the gate of Prince Luo's mansion, before he got off the sedan chair, he heard the words "Eight Emperor Princesses" outside.
"Miss, it's here." The slave lifted the sedan curtain and said to Liu Yiyu, he has arrived here, and Liu Yiyu has no reason to leave without saying anything.
Stepping off the sedan chair, Liu Yiyu saw Lu Zhiyao who was about to go to the palace. The two looked at each other in the air, and the eyes they looked at each other were a little strange.
"Why did Sister Liu get here?" Lu Zhiyao saw Liu Yiyu and turned around and walked towards her. "I didn't see you at the prince's birthday banquet that day, could it be that I came here today to give the prince a congratulatory gift?"
Liu Yiyu hurriedly gave Lu Zhiyao a salute, and said with a smile: "The people's daughter was entrusted by her father to bring a message to the prince. ”
"It just so happens that I'm here for something. But unfortunately, the prince seems to have been found by the eighth prince just now, so it shouldn't matter if you bring the words to the princess, right? ”
Lu Zhiyao smiled lightly, and the words he said made Liu Yiyu's back chill.
Lin Yixiang is not in the house? Only Nangong Nuo'er is there?
Liu Yiyu subconsciously wanted to escape, and regretted her reckless behavior. was taken by Lu Zhiyao to take the initiative to take her hand and walk into the palace, and Liu Yiyu didn't have the courage to shake off her hand and run away by herself. Every step was extremely difficult, and Liu Yiyu didn't know what kind of expression to face her when she saw Nangong Nuo'er.
Nangong Nuo'er was in a bad mood when she saw Lu Zhiyao, but she didn't expect that there would be one more Liu Yiyu to join in the fun!
The sharp gaze swept over the faces of the two, and Nangong Nuo'er even wondered if the two of them had said yes and deliberately came together to anger her!
"What are you doing here?" Nangong Nuo'er asked Liu Yiyu in a cold voice, and Liu Yiyu's neck shrank in fright.
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile when he looked at Nangong Nuo'er's menacing appearance. She has always been like this when facing people she doesn't like, and when she was face-to-face with Xia Yao before, she mostly had this expression. Lu Zhiyao sees it in his eyes now, but he feels that Nangong Nuo'er is much better than Liu Yiyu.
"Look at you like this, you scare people even if you don't dare to say anything."
"No one asked her." Nangong Nuo'er glared at Lu Zhiyao, if it weren't for the emperor's decree to let Prince Luo's Mansion and the Eighth Emperor's Mansion join forces to investigate that matter, she wouldn't need to meet with Lu Zhiyao, a woman!
"Sister Liu told me just now that she has something to say to the prince." Lu Zhiyao was serious about sowing discord, making the faces of the two people gradually distort. "Since the prince is not in the house, you two can talk first. As for our business, I can wait a little longer, anyway, I have a lot of time, so I'm not in a hurry. ”
Lu Zhiyao said to Nangong Nuo'er "empatheticly", who knew that the two of them didn't accept her affection.
Liu Yiyu was stared at by Nangong Nuo'er's sharp gaze, and she had long lost the courage to talk to her. The last time she was beaten by Nangong Nuo'er and the pain, she can still clearly remember that if she was alone with Nangong Nuo'er at this time, if there were no outsiders, she would definitely do it to herself!
Liu Yiyu hurriedly stepped back, ignoring Lu Zhiyao's strange eyes looking at her, and said: "If the prince is not in the mansion, I will leave first, and if the princess and the eighth princess have something, I won't bother the two." ”
Liu Yiyu turned her head and fled after speaking, and the back of the hurried away made Lu Zhiyao feel funny.
"She seems to be afraid of you?" Lu Zhiyao looked back at Nangong Nuo'er and asked knowingly.
Regarding Liu Yiyu and Lin Yixiang, Nangong Nuo'er can't wait for all the people who know the Tao to die. So naturally, it is impossible for Lu Zhiyao to perceive anything.
"You think too much, I think she left because she was afraid of you." Nangong Nuo'er turned around and walked forward, ignoring the person behind him, and said, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly, leave quickly." ”
Lu Zhiyao had long been accustomed to Nangong Nuo'er's attitude, pursed her lips and smiled, and followed, originally she came here to find trouble, but now she naturally has nothing to say, and strives to stay and watch a good show.
Liu Yiyu ran out of the palace, but did not leave to go home. took the servants to a place a little farther away from the gate of the palace, and hid at the mouth of the alley waiting for Lin Yixiang to come back. It's true that she is afraid of Nangong Nuo'er, but she is also afraid of Xia Yao! If she didn't make things clear today, Liu Yiyu wouldn't even dare to go home and enter her room again!
