Chapter Sixty-Seven: Return to the Coming Moon Fast
The days passed without waves, and on this day, Lanyue's face was grim, and he hurried back from the outside, walked straight to the outside of the study in the inner courtyard, and knocked on the door, "Master, it's me." ”
"Come in." Lu Ziqing's voice came, and Lanyue pushed open the door and walked in.
"What?"
After listening to Lan Yue's report, Lu Ziqing stood up from his seat in shock, and his face suddenly became very bad, "How is Uncle Ye at the moment?" ”
"Uncle Ye was seriously injured and fled into the mountains and forests, and the farmhouse where he lived was destroyed when I led people to rush there, and then I followed the marks left by Uncle Ye to find the mountain, only to see him fainting there." Lan Yue said with a frown.
Lu Ziqing's face was solemn, "So Uncle Ye's line has been exposed, we have to make plans early, it seems that I am going to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while." ”
Lanyue nodded, "Master, we don't need to spend too much energy on the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, it is better to take this opportunity to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion and do things outside." ”
Lu Ziqing didn't speak, a touch of deep thought crossed his eyes, and then he nodded at the moon, "I have my own plan, you go down first to do some work, and we will leave in these two days." Lanyue nodded and went down, but Lu Ziqing still had a sad face, and left the study after a while.
Meng Xiaoran sat in the room embroidering, and only raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Lu Ziqing who was slightly surprised, this was the first time he had entered his room during the day, "Why are you here?" ”
Lu Ziqing smiled at her, walked over to her and sat down, and thought for a long time before speaking, "I...... I have something important to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion for a while, you ...... Would you like to come with me? ”
Leaving the Prime Minister's House? Meng Xiaoran thought for a while and shook his head, "I can't leave here." ”
Although such a result had been expected, Lu Ziqing was still a little disappointed, he looked at Meng Xiaoran and said with some concern: "After I leave, how can I rest assured that you are alone in this mansion?" If Liu Ruxue wants to embarrass you again, how should you deal with it? ”
This is indeed a problem, with Lu Ziqing here, Liu Ruxue naturally didn't dare to come over to find trouble for herself, but if he left, this Mo Yuzhai was just a courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she lost her shelter, Liu Ruxue would definitely come to provoke, what should I do?
Meng Xiaoran sighed, "No matter what, I can't leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, at least not yet, as for the rest, I'll find a way." ”
Lu Ziqing sighed in her heart, but it was not good to say more, in fact, it was a whim to let her leave with her, and it would be troublesome if she really brought her, after all, what she was going to do could not be known to her at this time, I am afraid that the people around her would not agree to take her by her side, right?
Meng Xiaoran thought for a long time, and felt that Linyuezhai was the safest place in this Xiangfu, at least for herself, after thinking about it again and again, she found Lu Ziqing and said her thoughts, and after listening to it, he also nodded again and again, "This method is very good, so I will send you to Linyuezhai and entrust you to the Chen family, I believe she will give me some face." ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Ziqing took Meng Xiaoran and Xiaocui to Linyuezhai, Chen sat in the house and heard the report of greenery, he was slightly stunned, and his face flashed with doubt, "Why are they here?" ”
The three of them waited in the side hall for a while, and then the Chen family brought someone over, and when they saw Lu Ziqing, they immediately smiled and said: "Young Master Cousin is a rare guest, the first time he came to my Linyuezhai, I don't know what to do today?" ”
Lu Ziqing saluted her, and then said: "Ziqing is going to get off the examination room in a few days, and it is inconvenient to live in the house to study with peace of mind, so I plan to move out of the Xiangfu and rent a small courtyard near the school, and I plan to go back to my hometown after the exam. ”
Chen sat on the top, the expression on his face changed, and he looked at Meng Xiaoran who was standing aside, and only spoke after a long time, "Young Master Cousin doesn't seem to be the closest person in this Prime Minister's Mansion to me, how can he entrust Lu Fu to me?" ”
Lu Ziqing looked at her and smiled bitterly, "Madame is right, but Ziqing can only believe Madame, and I hope Madame can agree." ”
Hearing this, Chen couldn't help laughing, touched the ruby ring on his hand, thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, it's just that there are more people in this Linyue Zhai, Luyi, you go and clean up the small courtyard not far from my house, and let Lufu live in it." ”
"Thank you, ma'am." Lu Ziqing thanked him again, and Meng Xiaoran immediately saluted, "Thank you, Madame, for taking you in." ”
Chen looked at her and smiled, "Don't be polite, you are also our old man in Linyuezhai, you are familiar with everything here, you don't have to be restrained, if you have nothing to do, you can come and talk to me." ”
In this way, Meng Xiaoran went around and returned to Linyuezhai again, but this time when she came back, her identity was different, she was no longer the maid who worked in the kitchen before, or the big maid who served by Chen's side, now she lives here as Lu Ziqing's concubine, and she doesn't have to do things anymore, although the people don't respect her much, but it's not bad.
Although the Chen family is not a benevolent person, it is not bad for her, and Meng Xiaoran's existence can make Liu Ruxue respond, why not do it?
Outside Yujing City, several figures flashed by in the dark night, blowing like the wind, and after a while, two figures caught up behind, stopped there, and a voice sounded.
"Childe, do we still want to follow?"
"Follow, naturally follow, I want to see what kind of conspiracy this Lu Ziqing has." After saying that, the two flew away again.
Meng Xiaoran hid in Linyuezhai these days, but there was nothing to do, except for going to pay tribute to the Chen family every day, the rest of the time stayed in her own small courtyard, she asked Xiaocui to inquire around the house for news, but there was no gain, it seems that the Xiangfu is also quite peaceful during this time.
However, Meng Xiaoran did not relax his vigilance because of this, since the Xiangfu changed some time ago, Shen Qian discovered Liu Yingyuan's secret base in Chongzhou, but it seems that it is not so simple to collect the secret of his private gold mine, and now it is calm, there is no chance at all, which makes her feel a little worried.
Since Lu Ziqing left, Shen Qian has never contacted her again, she can't get the news from the outside, and gradually can't sit still, on this day, after she reported to the Chen family, she took Xiaocui out of the house under the pretext of buying balsam.
Xiaocui was naturally very happy to be able to leave the house, but she saw that Meng Xiaoran seemed to be a little preoccupied, so she had no interest in playing around, and kept following her, and the two came to Liuxiangzhai.
As soon as Meng Xiaoran entered, he said to Xiao Cui: "You go and take a look around, buy some balsam and go back." Xiao Cui had never been outside, so she was naturally eager to try, nodded happily and stepped aside.
When Xiaocui walked aside, Meng Xiaoran looked around, found a circle and saw the shopkeeper sitting behind the counter looking at the account book, so he walked over and knocked lightly on the counter, the shopkeeper raised his head, and when he saw that it was her, he immediately stood up with a smile on his face, "Miss Green Fu is here?" But want to buy balsam? ”
Meng Xiaoran smiled, "The sisters who have already asked me to come with me are watching, I came to ask the shopkeeper, has your son-in-law been here recently?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head, "Childe hasn't been here for several days, but the girl has something to do with Childe?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask, the shopkeeper is busy, I'll go see the balm." Meng Xiaoran nodded at him and then walked to Xiaocui's side, and the two bought a few boxes of balsam and went out.
Walking out of the gate of Liuxiangzhai, Meng Xiaoran showed a touch of melancholy on her face, Xiaocui didn't say much in her eyes, the two bought some more pastries and went home, and met their rivals on the way, Liu Ruxue and several of her maids.
Meng Xiaoran secretly said in her heart that it was not good to go out, and saluted her, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”
Liu Ruxue sneered, "Who wants you to get up?" You're bold! ”
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Ziqing left, Liu Ruxue came to look for trouble, she hid in Linyuezhai a few days ago and didn't go out, she couldn't find it, and as soon as she left the house today, she stopped here, it seems that she has already sent someone to keep an eye on her whereabouts.
Meng Xiaoran had no backer, so she naturally didn't dare to fight her anymore, bowed her head and said nothing, Liu Ruxue sneered silently, and glanced at several stout mothers-in-law behind her, who immediately rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward.
Seeing this, Xiaocui immediately stopped in front of Meng Xiaoran, "What are you going to do?" Before leaving, the young master also instructed that if his sister was missing a hair when he came back, he would definitely find someone to settle the account! ”
"Haha!" Liu Ruxue laughed instantly when she heard this, looking at the two of them with disdain in her eyes, "I'm just teaching two subordinates who don't know how to be polite, and my cousin will still settle accounts with me?" Hmph, I don't know the height of the sky! Give me a slap! ”
When several mothers-in-law heard this, they immediately stepped forward to hold her, one left and one right to control her, and a mother-in-law stepped forward and opened the bow left and right to "snap" and fight.
Seeing this, Meng Xiaoran immediately stepped forward, grabbed the slap that the mother-in-law was about to throw down, and pushed it to the side, and the mother-in-law fell to the ground, constantly wailing.
She walked up to Xiao Cui, tore off the hands of the two mothers-in-law, looked at Xiao Cui's already red and swollen face, and her eyes crossed fiercely, "What is this doing, Miss?" Why do you want to beat my handmaid for no reason? ”
"Huh, handmaiden? I sound fresh, you're just a maid yourself, where did you come from? I don't know how to do it, so I rely on a face to charm my cousin, and I don't know how to be ashamed! Liu Ruxue had resentment in her eyes, staring at Meng Xiaoran's flower-like face fiercely, eager to take a dagger and scratch her face.
Meng Xiaoran held back the anger in her heart and kept telling herself to calm down, but Liu Ruxue came to trouble her today, how could she let her go so easily?
Her eyes were cold, her beautiful face was full of incommensurate viciousness, and after sneering, she commanded sharply, "Come on, arrest these two cheap maids who don't know how to go up and down, and take them to Ruxue Pavilion for me." ”
Meng Xiaoran was shocked and wanted to do it several times, but he still endured it, and in the end, both of them were taken to Ruxue Pavilion by Liu Ruxue's people.
