Chapter 198: Hand over the key
Sending Lu Lianqing back to the house to lie down, Zhou Susu breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Lianhua looked at her sister on the bed, frowned and asked, "Auntie, Lianqing is ยทยทยทยทยทยท?"
Zhou Susu felt a little guilty in his eyes, looked at Lu Lianqing, who seemed to be fine on the bed, but was still sleepy, sighed, and said, "Come to think of it, it's nothing." โ
After all, since Lu Guanlan said that this matter has nothing to do with her, then Lianqing's matter must have nothing to do with Lu Guanlan. After all, Lu Guanlan has such a temperament, if it is really his own doing, then he can admit it to her.
Now that he has come back safe and sound, in the future, there will be nothing.
It's just that the method she thought of before didn't know whether it would work or not.
After Lu Guanlan heard that Lu Lianqing had returned to the mansion, his expression was still faint.
Chu Yu said: "The slave went out to take a sneak look, nothing happened, and she was also sent back." โ
Lu Guanlan was silent, just nodded slightly.
Seeing that Lu Guanlan seemed to be a little absent-minded, he said at the beginning: "So you still ask the slave maid to run away, this time to go to the palace, the guard who guards has been interrogating for a long time." โ
When Lu Guanlan heard this, he suddenly smiled, put down the scroll in his hand, and looked at Chu Yu, "What did you find?" โ
Chu Yu was slightly stunned.
In fact, she also guessed that the reason why Lu Guanlan used this reason to let her enter the palace was to let her investigate, but she never thought that this was the case.
But for some reason, after confirming Lu Guanlan's intentions, she was even more uneasy in her heart.
Then he said: "I only walked outside the main hall once, but I was waiting for your father to come out, and I didn't see anything." โ
After Chu Yu knew Lu Bingyan's virtues, he seemed to be even more reluctant to call Lu Bingyan master, and in front of Lu Guanlan, he also shouted "Your father, your father".
Lu Guanlan didn't feel that it mattered, and even felt that if he hadn't broken with Lu Bingyan now, he would have been even more unwilling to respect this person's father.
Lu Guanlan didn't say anything more, but buried his head and continued to read the book.
Ah Li asked on the side: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second lady is going to pick up Aunt Song from the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the slave maid came back from the drying room, and she met Ping'er to ask me for the door key." โ
Lu Guanlan raised his eyes, "Since you want the key, why don't you come to me in person?" โ
Ah Li said: "The slave maid is also like this with Ping'er, but Ping'er said that the second miss thought of seeing Aunt Song tomorrow, and she felt a little grateful for the mother-daughter relationship in the past, and couldn't help but feel sad, and then she felt unwell, so she let her come." โ
Lu Guanlan smiled. It's so sad, so sad that I don't know how to tell her in person, but I sent a maid to find her maid.
Thinking of this, Lu Guanlan smiled at Ah Li and said, "Ping'er is still waiting for you to send the key?" โ
Ah Li shook her head, "Ping'er said, for fear of disturbing the eldest lady, she waited for the slave maid in the garden to come over. โ
Lu Guanlan hooked his lips and smiled, "Then you go and tell Ping'er, just say, I am also unwell, and I also miss my deceased mother, if anything happens, let the second sister come to me in person tomorrow." โ
After that, Lu Guanlan put down the scroll in his hand, turned to Xiao Ju, who was bringing the tea set in the outhouse, and said, "Xiao Ju, bring some moon cakes." โ
Hearing this, Ah Li hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xiao Ju, who had just put down the scissors, and turned to Lu Guanlan and said, "Miss! Eating so many breads is easy to accumulate food, you don't eat anymore, you see your waist is much bigger than before. โ
"Is there one?" Lu Guanlan looked down suspiciously and touched his waist.
Chu Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this.
Lu Guanlan immediately glared at Chu Yu, "From now on, whatever I eat, you will follow me to eat, and after a while, see if you can still laugh." โ
The master and servant were joking, when they heard the voice of Steward Zhao outside the house.
Lu Guanlan glanced at Ah Li, and Ah Li hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Steward Zhao doesn't know what's going on here?" Ah Li smiled and stepped forward and bowed slightly towards Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao was also very polite to the current Lu Guanlan and the maids beside him, and when he saw Ah Li coming out, he said: "The master asked me to pass the word, and let the eldest lady take the key in the eldest lady's courtyard, so that I can bring it over." โ
Ah Li frowned slightly when she heard this, and then smiled and bent down at Steward Zhao, "The slave will go back to report to Miss, and ask Steward Zhao to rest for a while." โ
With that, he turned and went back to the house.
"Miss, Steward Zhao said that it was the master who asked him to come and get the key with you," As soon as Ah Li entered the house, he frowned and reported to Lu Guanlan.
Lu Guanlan didn't have the slightest displeasure on his face, but seemed to be a little relieved, and said with a smile: "Lu Jingzhu has changed so much, it is indeed something I didn't expect. โ
Xu knew that she would not give the key out easily, so she begged Lu Bingyan to pressure herself, and she was really smarter.
"Miss ยทยทยทยทยทยท Are we going to hand over the keys? Ah Li hesitated.
Lu Guanlan looked at Chu Yu on the side, "What do you think?" โ
Chu Yu didn't understand the twists and turns here, but after asking this question, he let himself be stunned.
Seeing this, Lu Guanlan smiled, "That's it, tease you," he said, and turned his head to look at Ah Li, "Since I have let my father come forward, I should give my father some face." โ
Ah Li understood, turned around and went to the cabinet to get the key, and sent it to Steward Zhao who was waiting in the courtyard.
Steward Zhao took the key, hurriedly thanked him, and then seemed to remember something, and whispered to Ah Li: "I see, the master seems to have no suspicion of the second miss as before, and I don't know what the second miss has in mind now, so let the eldest lady be careful, after all, this Aunt Song will be picked up tomorrow." โ
Ah Li thanked Steward Zhao for mentioning something, and gave Steward Zhao a bag of silver as usual. Seeing that Steward Zhao took the silver and left with a smile, he shook his head and sighed: "Insatiable." โ
Then he turned around and went back.
After repeating Steward Zhao's words to Lu Guanlan as they were, Ah Li said again: "For these two sentences, you have to fold more than a dozen taels of silver, which is really not cost-effective." โ
Lu Guanlan said with a smile: "When we don't need these people, you Miss and I will not be defeated." โ
Ah Li was helpless, and then asked again: "Although Steward Zhao is just here to sell news, but in the end, what he said is true, and the second lady may be playing some bad idea." โ
The smile on Lu Guanlan's lips deepened, and he said: "A lady who has lost her body, no matter how she is born into a famous family, she still loses her body." โ
Lu Jingzhu seems to be fine now, but how could someone like Yun Concubine let her go like this.
Now that the emperor has covered up this ugly matter, he can't hide it for a while, and it is always Lu Jingzhu who picks and chooses, either marrying Cheng Ye, or her good father who wants to send Lu Jingzhu to Cheng Mo's room.
She also thought about whether she would finish off Lu Jingzhu by herself, but no matter how many methods there were, it was all in the dark.
It's easy to do something that goes unnoticed, but it's also boring and not enough to relieve hatred.
At the beginning, Lu Jingzhu asked her to bear everything in front of everyone, and she has not returned these things one by one in her life.
Therefore, she just wanted Lu Jingzhu to have the things she cared about the most and cherished the most, and then destroyed it in front of Lu Jingzhu.
Cheng Mo and Lu Jingzhu's marriage, she wanted to make it up, but she also wanted Lu Jingzhu to see and touch, and ended Lu Jingzhu at the moment before her dream came true.
What a joy it is.
As soon as Lu Jingzhu got the key sent by Steward Zhao, he couldn't wait to take Ping'er to pick up Song Yuemei.
Ping'er waited in the garden for a long time, knowing that she was afraid that she would not be able to get the key, so she went to find the master according to Lu Jingzhu's instructions, and pretended to be pitiful in front of the master.
At this time, seeing that Lu Jingzhu got what he wanted, Ping'er was also happy, but she also reminded Lu Jingzhu: "But Miss, since the master asked Miss to pick up my aunt in the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'm afraid we have to wait for tomorrow, otherwise, I'm afraid it will displease the master." โ
When Lu Jingzhu heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at Ping'er coldly, "What's the matter?" And now you want to teach me how to do things? โ
Seeing this, Ping'er hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "The slave knows her mistake!" Slaves don't dare! โ
Lu Jingzhu looked at Ping'er, who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing violently, the gloom in his eyes was even worse, and he immediately snorted lightly, "Tomorrow, I just want A-Niang to appear in front of everyone as it is." โ
Late at night, the autumn breeze blows.
Under the long corridor in the palace, a group of palace people walked by, with the palace lights and candles flickering on the side.
Concubine Yun supported her forehead and lay down on the couch, "The emperor went to Jinhua Palace again today?" โ
Yun Li bowed, "Back to Niangniang, Your Majesty was going to come to Yunxi Palace today, but ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Yun Concubine's eyes lit up when she heard this, "But what? โ
"But halfway through, I was stopped by Miss Ling Chan again, and went to Jinhua Palace instead."
When Yun Li said this, her body trembled a little, as if she was afraid that Yun Concubine would be furious in the next moment.
Who knows, Yun Concubine just smiled coldly, "Fox things, this palace will take a look, how long can this slut be foxy." โ
Yun Li hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yes, Your Majesty is just a momentary interest, and after a while, when it is boring, I will not pay attention to it, otherwise, how can I leave and not give a place." โ
Concubine Yun seemed to be very useful for this, and then said: "Concubine Xian went to Jiaqi Palace today, and said that she was punished?" โ
Yun Li said: "Yes, the slave maid also made some inquiries, only to learn that Concubine Xian Niangniang was going to be driven to the imperial temple." โ
Yun Concubine was also shocked when she heard this, and her half-closed eyes opened suddenly at this moment, "Really? โ
Today, she heard from the palace people that she only knew that Concubine Xian was punished in the queen's palace, and she was also curious, how could these two people who have always been good friends turn their faces and turn their faces.
I didn't expect that the queen would be punished so heavily.
It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven. Earlier, she had such thoughts to bring down Concubine Xian, and this Concubine Xian seemed to have God's help, and she turned the danger into a disaster several times. This will be good, the queen will personally remove her arms, but there is no need to bother her to do it.
Yun Li saw that Yun Concubine was so happy, so she said: "Although the slave maid didn't inquire about the reason, she asked clearly, the virtuous concubine Niangniang is indeed going to the imperial temple, and she will leave the palace tomorrow." โ
