Chapter 274: Why is the City Lord's Wife Away?
In the courtyard of the guest room, a row of waitresses was waiting.
The steward of the City Lord's Mansion who brought them over said with a smile, "These waiters are for all the guests, you can choose by yourself." ”
Lu Sangjiu glanced over, and he could see that this group of people were all cultivators around the early stage of foundation building.
Although it seems that the qualifications are very average, most of them are piled up with pills, but a small city lord's mansion is still a bit condescending to be a maid during the foundation building period, right?
Or are these people saying they are maids, but they are actually there to spy on them?
Although it is a little difficult to see the Jindan period during the foundation building period, it should be no problem to stare at a little bit and help pass the word.
She was thinking about it when she heard Xie Ningyuan speak, "I'm not used to using maids, so I don't need to." ”
The butler's face was immediately embarrassed, "This Immortal Monarch, I didn't force it, but the city lord ordered you to take care of you, if you are so neglectful, the city lord will definitely punish us." ”
"At that time, these maids will also be implicated and punished, and please forgive the Immortal Monarch."
Those maids also immediately looked at Xie Ningyuan pitifully, "I beg the Immortal Monarch to have mercy." ”
Xie Ningyuan glanced at Lu Sangjiu quietly, Lu Sangjiu thought about it and shook his head slightly.
Only then did he pretend to be convinced, and his attitude softened, "In that case...... Then I'll pick one. ”
Xie Ningyuan refused to no avail, and the rest of the people didn't say that they didn't want to be a maid, and one of them casually pointed out something.
Lu Sangjiu's maid said that her name was Xiao Lu, and she was guarding the door of the guest room, just if she had something to do.
Lu Sangjiu heard it, good guy, this is really looking at them, right? Directly guarding the door, it's really hard to get rid of them and act on their own without any means.
But despite this, everyone didn't say much, and everyone went back to their rooms.
As soon as Lu Sangjiu sat down, the messengers vibrated one after another.
When she took it out and looked at it, except for Xie Ningyuan and Shen Yuzhao, the rest of the people all sent her messages, and the content expressed the same central idea: the city lord has a problem.
Well...... Let's just say, it's really not good for this city lord to hide his skills, and there are six people in the group, and five people have found out that he has a problem.
Xie Ningyuan didn't say it, it was all because he knew that she had found out.
And Shen Yuzhao is really stupid and sweet, and he will never casually suspect that others have bad intentions.
After thinking about it, Lu Sangjiu replied to a few people: "The dinner party will act at the opportunity." ”
Then she literally lay down and rested.
After all, sitting in a teleportation array is really a very tiring thing.
She also had a big heart, and she quickly fell asleep when she lay down, until there was a knock on the door from Xiao Lu outside, "Fairy Lu, the dinner party is about to start, the city lord invites you over." ”
Lu Sanjiu opened his eyes in a daze, yawned and got up and went out.
When she went out, the rest of the people were already waiting outside.
Seeing her yawn out, Yan Zui's expression was a little indescribable, "Lu Daoyou...... You shouldn't have just woken up, right? ”
"That's right." Lu Sangjiu nodded as a matter of course, and then asked, "Didn't you all sleep?" ”
The rest: "......"
I'm sorry, but in the City Lord's Mansion where this is obviously wrong, they really can't sleep.
Lu Sanjiu saw that no one spoke, and suddenly said with a regretful face, "I really haven't slept, but it's a pity that you don't feel it, the mattress here is really soft, and it's comfortable to sleep on." ”
When Luo Linlang heard this, she immediately regretted it a little, "Really? I knew I had slept just now, and to be honest, I was really uncomfortable when I came out of the teleportation array. ”
Yan drunk: "......"
Isn't it that you sisters are so out of tune?
In order to prevent the topic from being pulled further and further, the maid next to her coughed lightly, "Everyone, are we going to go?" Don't keep the lord waiting. ”
Lu Sanjiu seemed to come back to his senses, "Oh, that's right, but don't let the city lord wait for a long time, let's go!" Senior sister, it's the same if you come back at night and go to bed again. ”
A group of people walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the banquet hall.
And along the way, Yan Zui finally vaguely understood that Lu Sangjiu was committed to building himself into a brainless image.
Want them to let their guard down?
After realizing this, Yan Zui also intended to cooperate.
So several maids followed all the way, and they couldn't help but have the impression of a "stupid beauty" on Lu Sangjiu.
"A few distinguished guests have finally arrived, take a seat quickly!"
Several people sat down separately, Yan Zui looked at the city lord sitting in the master's seat, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why don't you see the city lord's wife?" ”
The city lord's smile froze slightly, and then said, "Ouch, it's really unfortunate, the insider has been unwell recently, and I don't know what strange disease he has contracted is, so it's really inconvenient to see guests, I'm sorry." ”
Yan Zui nodded, "So that's the case...... Speaking of which, Mrs. Ling and my mother are still of the same race, and we are also close relatives, so I thought I would like to visit this time. ”
The city lord was stunned, "Is that so?" The matter ...... Ciel hadn't spoken to me. ”
Yan Zui's face suddenly showed a look of doubt, "Xi'er? But my mother said that the city lord's wife's name is Ji Heng, and there doesn't seem to be a word Xi in her name, could it be that my mother remembered it wrongly? ”
The city lord suddenly showed a smirk, "No, no, in fact, Xi'er is the nickname I gave to my insider, and her big name is indeed Ji Heng." ”
Yan was drunk and nodded clearly, "I see." ”
"Lord of the City, it stands to reason that we shouldn't bother Madame Ling if she is unwell, but since I am related to Madame Ling, I should always go over to visit."
"It may be inconvenient for my friends, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to go alone, right?"
Yan Zui's words have come to this, and it would be too unkind for the city lord to refuse again.
So after a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, but it's late today, let the maid take you there tomorrow morning." ”
"It's fine."
Lu Sangjiu listened silently on the side, and said in his heart that it was really right to bring Yan Zui over, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter the City Lord's Mansion, and they wouldn't be able to find anything strange here, and they didn't know how many detours they would have to take.
And Yan Zui is also really smart, although I don't know if she and the city lord's wife are really related, but the city lord must be suspicious, so what Xi'er is talking about is clearly a quiet temptation.
Fortunately, Yan Zui seemed to be prepared, and in just three or two sentences, the city lord had to agree with her to meet the city lord's wife.
She felt that Yan Zui's train of thought was very correct, this strange city lord's mansion, and the slightly unnatural look of the city lord when he mentioned his wife, no matter how she thought about it, she should have met this city lord's wife.
Although there can only be one person in the past now, she is smart enough and her strength is good, so there should be no problem alone.
