Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 70 The Death of Liu Qingyan

Seeing the gleaming dagger in her hand, Liu Qingyan slowly raised the corners of her mouth, "You really have improved a lot, I underestimated you!"

Ruo Chaofeng and Shen Lanze walked into the alley with the yamen servants, and Liu Qingyan was escorted back to Shuntian Mansion just like that.

After some questioning, he confessed the fact of killing Ji Shengquan.

When she was pushed away, she stopped beside Ji Mingcheng and said with a smile: "Don't look at me with hatred. In the end, it was all caused by Lu Nanzhi. If it wasn't for framing her, how could I have killed your son!"

"If you want to blame, blame her, everything is caused by her, everything is her fault." Liu Qingyan looked up and left with a big smile.

Leaving Ji Mingcheng standing in place, his fists clenched, his knuckles turning white, his eyes fixed on Lu Nanzhi.

Ruo Chaofeng walked over, patted Ji Mingcheng on the shoulder, and said with a sigh: "Master Ji, my condolences are in order, Miss Lu is also innocent in this matter."

"Innocent?" Ji Mingcheng snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Xiang Ruo Chaofeng.

"Then isn't my son innocent? If it was your daughter who died today, would you still say that others are innocent here?"

If Chao Feng was left speechless, it would be hard for anyone to accept this matter for a while.

Ji Mingcheng flung his sleeves and left. That night, there were bursts of wailing in the prison.

The next day, news came that Liu Qingyan committed suicide in prison, and it was heard that her death was extremely miserable.

It was already three days after Lu Nanzhi learned of this, Liu Qingyan's death did not affect her, she just sighed that a life was lost like this, but all of this was Liu Qingyan's own fault.

Xue Ningtang also changed its name to Hongzhuang Pavilion and officially opened for business.

Many designs inside have been changed. There is a place for women to bathe and change clothes. After bathing, there is still a faint fragrance on the body.

Every woman who entered the red makeup pavilion became more beautiful when she came out.

The Red Makeup Pavilion is becoming more and more popular, and many women are rushing to come here.

On this day, Lu Nanzhi returned to the Red Makeup Pavilion with the spices he had researched. He didn't care when he saw the carriage at the door, and walked inside.

"Miss Lu, please stay."

Lu Nanzhi turned around when he heard the voice, and saw the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a nun got out of the carriage.

Looking at the unfamiliar face, Lu Nanzhi asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

The nanny smiled slightly, "The old slave is the nanny of Ruofu, my wife invited the girl to go."

Mammy made a gesture of invitation respectfully, without any arrogance in her tone.

"Why did Mrs. Ruo ask me to go there?" Lu Nanzhi looked at her suspiciously, and had no intention of following her to leave.

After going through so many things, she knows very well, don't go with strangers casually, otherwise she doesn't know what will happen.

Mammy saw that her eyes were wary, and said with a smile: "Miss Lu, don't worry, Madame just wants to invite you to catch up on the old days, and thank you for saving my young lady by the way."

Lu Nanzhi then followed her into the carriage, and before getting into the carriage, he handed over the spices to the waiter in the shop, and told him that if Shen Lanze came back, tell him that he was taken to Ruofu to reminisce about the old days, so that he didn't have to worry.

The waiter nodded after listening.

Lu Nanzhi got into the carriage, and Mammy kept looking at her. When she saw the carriage stopped at the gate of Ruofu, she finally let go of her hanging heart.

Led by the nanny, they came to Mrs. Ruo's courtyard. Mrs. Ruo was feeding the koi in the gazebo when she heard a voice behind her and put down the things in her hands.

Lu Nanzhi walked over, leaned over slightly in a dignified manner, and said, "Madam Ruo."

Although her gesture of saluting is not very standard, she has tried her best.

"You don't need to be so polite, sit down quickly." Mrs. Ruo warmly greeted her to sit down.

For some unknown reason, the koi in the pond jumped out of the pond one by one. This scene shocked the servant girl.

"What's wrong with these koi today? They seldom come for feeding on weekdays, but today they seem to be pouring out of the pond one by one." Mrs. Ruo looked at the pond with a puzzled look on her face.

It was the first time for Lu Nanzhi to see koi since he crossed here. Seeing them jumping out of the water one by one, he thought it was very cute, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

One of the maids said with a smile: "These koi seem to be more excited to see Miss Lu."

Mrs. Ruo heard about it, and also felt that these koi and Lu Nanzhi were destined, and this girl had a kind face, which made people like it from the bottom of their hearts.

"I invited Miss Lu here today for no other purpose. One is to thank you, and the other is to ask how you and Lan Ze met." Mrs. Ruo asked straight to the point.

Lu Nanzhi didn't hide anything, and repeated the story of fleeing famine again.

After listening to Mrs. Ruo, she couldn't help sighing: Lan Ze, this child is really suffering.

Thinking of the past, she couldn't help her eyes getting a little moist. She wiped the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said, "If you have any difficulties in the capital, just come to the mansion to find me, and I will definitely do my best to help you."

After Madam Ruo finished speaking, she took out a jade pendant and handed it over. This jade pendant was green in color, smooth and flawless, and looked extremely beautiful. One could tell it was worth a lot.

"You take this jade pendant, it's all my heart."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness, I really can't accept this, otherwise why would I come to the mansion in the future." Lu Nanzhi waved his hands repeatedly and refused.

Ruo Furen saw that her attitude was so firm and did not force her, so she could only put away the jade pendant, "Since you insist on this, I will not force you. In the future, I will come to the mansion often when I have the opportunity."

"Thank you Madam for your kindness. If there is nothing else, Nanzhi will leave first." Lu Nanzhi was worried that Shen Lanze would find him, so he wanted to go back quickly.

Mrs. Ruo personally sent the man to the door, looked up and saw the person waiting outside the door, and jokingly said: "I've never seen him care so much about a girl, but now he cares so much about you."

"Ma'am, don't worry too much. There have been too many things happening recently. Lan Ze is just being careful. There is no other meaning," Lu Nanzhi was afraid that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained.

Mrs. Ruo pursed her lips and smiled, "I think you are a good match!"

"Ma'am, Lanze and I are just partners, nothing else." When Lu Nanzhi said this, he looked at Shen Lanze, seeing his plain expression, he felt a trace of annoyance in his heart.

Shen Lanze seemed plain, but there was a look of displeasure in his eyes, this subtle change was still captured by Mrs. Ruo.

Her eyes kept turning around the two of them. They were really duplicity people. They obviously had feelings for each other but still didn't admit it. If they insisted on talking about partners, it was just deceiving themselves.

"I won't keep you guys any longer, come to the mansion to try my handicraft when I have time." Mrs. Ruo said to the two with a smile.

"Okay, Ma'am, go back." Lu Nanzhi smiled faintly, walked towards the carriage, and got into the carriage with the support of Shen Lanze.

Shen Lanze bowed to Mrs. Ruo, and got into the carriage together.

Madam Ruo looked at the carriage that was drifting away, and sighed: I don't know when the two of them will understand their inner emotions.

Turning around, seeing the daughter standing in the courtyard, the smile on the corner of her mouth slowly fell.
