Chapter Fifty-Six: Infiltrating the Lu Mansion

On the way home, Su Wanning was slightly uneasy.

On the one hand, Qin Ruoxuan's unstoppable momentum of entering the National Prison, she knew that even if she repeatedly blocked Qin Ruoxuan, she would not be able to cover everything.

Without a way to make money in casinos, Qin Ruoxuan will definitely be able to make money from other crooked ways.

The other is his own mother, the eldest princess of Qingyun.

This time she has been out of the house for too long, she must have noticed something, and the consequence of directly annoying her is that she will be sent to the next shadow mission.

Sure enough, the candlelight in the small courtyard jumped, and a woman wearing a hairpin ring was printed on the paper window of the inner room.

Su Wanning pushed the door in, only to see Qingzhu kneeling on the ground, motionless.

She stepped forward slowly, without the slightest anxiety about being caught, and first asked the eldest princess Qingyun to say goodbye: "Mother Wan'an, thinking about her daughter so late really makes Wan Ning sincerely afraid."

The eldest princess of Qingyun didn't know what to think, when she heard the sound, her eyes drifted to Su Wanning, and her tone was unpleasant: "You should be panicked, make a big fuss in the casino, and announce in front of everyone that the Hou Mansion and the distant relatives are cut in two, you are really a good boy of your father, and you don't want half of your daughter's face!"

"What does Mother mean by this, I can't understand it. Feng Er came to the Hou Mansion for help, because the Hou Mansion was kind to him, but he won a lot of money in the casino, if the matter is revealed, wouldn't it affect the reputation of the Hou Mansion?" Su Wanning figured out her current predicament, and the tense string in her heart suddenly loosened, and she was no longer half restrained.

She got up to help Qingzhu, who had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, and saw that this girl was inconvenient to move, so she raised her hand and beckoned the maid outside to come and help.

Tiger poison does not eat children, the worst result is nothing more than being assigned to do tasks, can you still kill her?

The eldest princess of Qingyun looked at Su Wanning's face lightly, but her anger surged: "Give me a retreat!"

Su Wanning used her palm to support her messy sideburns, and picked a chair to sit down: "Why should Grandma be angry, if it's because of Feng Er's matter, it's even more unnecessary. After all, he's just an autumn wind fighter. Wan Ning has already placed him properly, and she will not loot more of the Hou Mansion's property, nor will she ruin his reputation."

"A few thousand taels of silver can still be afforded by the Hou Mansion, and your behavior will only make people laugh at it! How can there be a gentle and gentle eldest daughter?" The eldest princess of Qingyun had a gloomy voice, and the candlelight shone on her cheeks and the corners of her mouth through the gauze curtain, and for a while her eyes were hidden in the dark, and she didn't know her emotions.

"Then Wan Ning dared to ask, which distant relative of Daddy is Feng Er? Judging by his mother's tolerance of him, he shouldn't be a relative of the emperor." Su Wanning intuitively felt that her mother was always protecting Feng Er's behavior, otherwise Feng Er would not have been lawless outside for so long.

Her question was not answered by Princess Qingyun for a long time.

For a moment there was a dead silence in the room, except for the crackling sound of the candle flame.

"You're still too bored. It's better to take a look at the current situation of the Lu clan, and when you return from the mission, you should know whether my thoughts are right or wrong! That Lu Jiarong, is it really that precious?" Eldest Princess Qingyun raised her hand towards the void, her thumb and middle fingers circled together, and the other three fingers were cocked.

Su Wanning looked at it carefully, trying to remember this posture.

In the next moment, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Please, girl." The voice of the man in black behind him did not distinguish between men and women, and the strength in his hand was indeed not to be refused.

After Su Wanning got up unhurriedly to give a salute to the eldest princess of Qingyun, she consciously faced the man in black, took the cotton handkerchief soaked in *** from his hand, stared at the other party with bright apricot eyes, and covered her mouth and nose with one hand.

At the same time, in the blind corner of her invisible vision, she threw a crumpled piece of paper from her right hand and rolled it down into the gap in her chair.

If someone is interested in checking it, spread out the paper and print the Lu character with a fingernail.

Su Wanning fell into a coma again, and while she was asleep, someone hypnotized her and gave a new order.

This time, her identity is Mr. Xi, a female teacher in Lufu, teaching calligraphy and painting classes.

The new name is Qiushui, a cold and serious woman, her parents died early, and before the family fell, she was also an official lady.

in the water

There is a lot of achievement in ink painting, but the market does not know whether she is a man or a woman.

What Su Wanning wanted to do was to use Qiushui's identity to get close to the Lu family's housewife, dispel her doubts, and point out Sun Quan'er, the granddaughter of the British Duke, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, to the future head of the Lu family as his wife.

The people of the imperial court need to infiltrate the clan that they usually ignore, and the way to do it on the surface is to marry.

After Su Wanning became Qiushui, she was sullen for two days, sat in front of the lecture with her chin propped up, looking at the young girls below, and had a headache.

They are from the main line of the Lu family, and there is a girl Lu Qingyue who is the most well-dressed girl, who is the biological daughter of the main mother Lu family.

is Lu Jiarong's titular sister.

She doesn't appear often, because Fang Qin, the mother of the Lu family, invited a grandmother in the palace for her daughter and arranged a small stove.

Lu Qingyue's arrival today aroused the jealousy of the other two concubines.

Because Lu Qingyue's hair bun has an expensive pigeon blood ruby hairpin, the afternoon sun obliquely passes through the bamboo curtain and hits the cold mirror surface of the gem, reflecting a dazzling red light, which is not extraordinary at a glance.

"Third sister, the hairpin on your head is rare. I don't know when you got it?" A plump and gorgeous woman spoke.

Su Wanning swept her eyes, she was Lu Xuan, the daughter of the Lu family's second room, with vicious eyes and a favorite of rare jewelry.

Lu Qingyue's expression was arrogant, and her fair-skinned side face emitted a little golden light under the sunlight, like a fairy coming to the world: "What the eldest sister said is this pigeon blood, which I went to Sister Sun's house a few days ago to enjoy chrysanthemums."

"The third sister is talking about Sun Quan'er, the granddaughter of the British duke? Could it be that the recent rumors are true? The second brother is going to marry the noble daughter of the Guogong Mansion?" Lu Tong, the daughter of the third room, looked surprised, with curiosity about the development of the situation in her eyes.

Lu Qingyue glanced at Lu Tong and pretended to be angry: "What did the fourth sister say, where can I control the second brother's marriage. Be careful that your mother knows about it, and punish you for copying the scriptures a hundred times!"

Lu Tong was a ghost spirit, and he didn't care about the threat in Lu Qingyue's mouth at all, and suddenly smiled as if he had realized, "Oh, I see. It seems that Sun Quan'er is only on the list to be determined, and this time the choice of sister-in-law has a headache!"

Su Wanning sighed silently, the group of girls of the Lu family are really innocent, and this kind of private words in the back house can also be discussed in class at will.

On the contrary, it was Lu Zhuo, the youngest fifth son, who kept writing and painting with his head down, silent, and very quiet.

Lu Zhuo's actions aroused her curiosity, and she got up and walked to the side of the bookcase, lowering her head to look at his masterpiece.

With a few strokes on the rice paper, he can actually outline the demeanor of the fire fox, and it can be seen that Lu Zhuo has some skill on his body.

"Although the painting skills of the fifth prince are a little lacking, it can be seen from the pen power, as long as you practice diligently, you will definitely be able to gain something." Su Wanning has also studied calligraphy and painting, and it is not difficult to appreciate paintings.

Fortunately, she doesn't have to hold a pen, and pretending to be autumn water is much easier for her.

Lu Tong leaned over and smacked his lips: "Fifth brother." Didn't my mother say that your focus should be on scientific research? Besides, Mr. Qiushui teaches ink painting, and if you are nondescript here, you can just use a brush to make a few strokes, and you really can't see the fame."

Lu Zhuo's eyes darkened instantly, and he looked depressed like a cat wet by the rain.

"Alright, Fourth Miss. Come back to the table and sit down, I'm going to start talking about how to draw flowers at twelve o'clock." Su Wanning saw that Lu Zhuo's mood was low, and she didn't want to let there be an accident of quarrel during the lesson, so as not to disturb Fang Qin, the mother of the Lu family, and make her have a bad impression of herself.

Lu Qingyue saw that Lu Tong was unmoved, and said dissatisfiedly: "Fourth sister, go back quickly, don't listen to Qiu Jiaoxi's words?" Next time, be careful to let my grandmother know, and punish you to clean the stable!"

Lu Tong pouted and moved back to his position.

During this period, Lu Xuan kept squinting enviously, looking at the pigeon blood between Lu Qingyue's sideburns.

Su Wanning took a full view of the temperament of the daughters and daughters in each of the four rooms, and it seemed that the only way to get close to the main mother Fang Qin was Lu Qingyue.

The other few can't be counted on.

After class, a few drops fell on the bluestone slab outside the hall

Rain.

Before the four golden young ladies finished packing up the bookcases, the torrential rain swept in, and in an instant, dark clouds swallowed the sky above Yandu.

Lu Qingyue was the most anxious on her face, and it seemed that she had something important to do later.

She tried to step under the steps on tiptoes, trying to break through the rain curtain, out of the yard, and into the corridor. The road behind is mostly covered by eaves, so you don't have to worry about the rain getting wet.

However, as soon as a drop of water was stained on the upper of her shoes, she immediately took it back.

Lu Xuan saw Lu Qingyue's urgency and comforted: "Third sister, the rain is coming urgently, the girls have all gone back to get umbrellas, you wait a while, run back to the yard in the rain, it's not good to catch the cold."

Lu Qingyue seemed to have lost something extremely precious, and tears rolled in her eyes: "Eldest sister, my second brother came back from Guozijian today to visit relatives, I don't know how many days I can stay at home this time, I'm afraid that the second brother will leave in a hurry after packing his package like last time, and I haven't even seen him."

Su Wanning followed behind the two of them, thoughtful.

The second brother in Lu Qingyue's mouth should be Lu Jiarong.

Lu Tong walked at the end, and I don't know if he deliberately said it to her: "The third sister is like this, she has loved to stick to the second brother since she was a child. Last time, it was just that the second brother resigned from the palace as a writer and went to study in the country, which was a good thing, so why cry. Could it be that in the future, I will tie up my second brother and marry her husband and family?"

Su Wanning's apricot eyes narrowed slightly, tightened the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and stepped forward to prop it on top of Lu Qingyue's head.

"Third Miss, if you don't dislike it, take my umbrella and use it first. When the rain stops, it's not too late for me to leave."

Lu Qingyue's eyes lit up with joy, and she hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for teaching Qiu, my maid will send the paper umbrella later, and you can use mine."

After speaking, Lu Qingyue clenched the bamboo handle, lifted her dress, and rushed into the heavy rain with light steps.

Su Wanning ignored Lu Xuan and Lu Tong's looking eyes, sat back in the room, leaning on the windowsill and looking at the books on the shelves.

Occasionally, a drop or two of rain flew into her hair, and she didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Because there is a volume of landscape chronicles in her hand, which is the type she likes to read.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that someone approached behind her with a lantern.

Su Wanning heard the sound, gently rubbed her sour eyes with her fingers, and focused her gaze on the person again, and couldn't help but lose her complexion.

"Lu ...... Why is Childe here?"

Lu Jiarong smiled helplessly and raised the things in his hand: "Thank you Mr. Qiushui for giving my little sister a paper umbrella, I met Qingyue halfway, and I heard her say that Mr. is still painting in the hall. And the girl who went back to the yard to get the umbrella happened to have her foot broken, so I came over to thank him personally."
