Chapter 37

The morning sun has risen, and the road ahead is covered with bright golden light.The scorching sun shone on her body, making her feel warm.Let Liu Piaopiao's cold hands gradually warm up, she collected herself and turned her head.Lin still knelt there.Paper money flew in front of her, and sparks danced and dissipated in the forest.With red eyes, Liu Piaopiao told He Zhi: "Find someone trustworthy to look after her, she will be of great use in the future."

He Zhi nodded, "Understood, don't worry."

After washing her face and covering her reddened eyes with powder, Liu Piaopiao looked at herself in the mirror, and she didn't seem to have the depressed look just now.

She cheered herself up and changed her clothes.Jewelry was added again, and after a while a beautiful woman appeared.Liu Piaopiao patted her mouth and smiled.

She is quite satisfied with her current appearance, bright and generous, elegant and elegant.So he took the rose wine and asked Lu Ji to meet at Fengyue Yaju.

Liu Yirong raised a lot of pocket money for Liu Piaopiao, enough for her to open a wing on the second floor of Fengyue Yaju.She waited for a long time for Lu Ji to come, but the tea in the pot was already cold.Liu Piaopiao ignited the stove again and slowly brewed tea.The long fragrance wafted out, and Lu Ji sat across from Liu Piaopiao, watching her make tea attentively, and suddenly asked, "Are you crying?"

Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, and dropped her hand to touch the scorching teapot.The pain made her let out a small exclamation, and when she looked down, the back of her hand was already red.She put down her sleeves to cover up the scar, and said with a gentle smile, "Why do you ask such a question, Piao Piao is fine."

Lu Ji only stared at the back of her scalded hand, frowning, wondering why Liu Piaopiao suddenly became estranged from him.

"Hand, doesn't it hurt?"

Liu Piaopiao shook her head, still smiling.

"No pain."

The tea is ready, Liu Piaopiao serves tea to Lu Ji.The other party put the cup of tea aside, and then looked at Liu Piaopiao with some displeasure.

"Liu Piaopiao, I don't like the way you look now."

Liu Piaopiao lowered her head, her mind was too confused, she didn't know what expression to put on for a moment.

"why?"

"It's too fake." Lu Ji said, "You can clearly put on the most authentic appearance in front of me."

Liu Piaopiao still lowered her head, but Lu Ji stretched out his hand to lift her chin, and the tears in her eyes dripped down on Lu Ji's hand.The thick powder covered the tears and turned into white water droplets, which was obviously not so decent.But those bright red eyes, the waves flowing in the water, made people unconsciously feel infinite pity.

"why cry?"

"Your Highness, stop asking."

She turned her face, and a faint sigh escaped from between her lips and teeth.

"Something sad."

Lu Ji withdrew his hand and sat upright.Just say: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, but Liu Piaopiao, you remember that I am on your side."

This sentence is really more beautiful than any love words, which means that he is Liu Piaopiao's backer and unwavering.Liu Piaopiao wiped away her tears, and smiled: "Today I invited His Highness to drink, not to see me cry."

She clapped her hands, and the maids entered one after another, and after a while, there were several delicious dishes on the table.

The color of rose wine is as magnificent as gemstones, and many grotesque colors will be reflected in the glass.Lu Ji took a chopstick of fish and put it in Liu Piaopiao's bowl.

"If you are wronged, tell me, if you want to plan for your future, just do it."

"Why does Your Highness say that?"

Lu Ji took a sip of wine: "You are different from those women. You know very well that it is not reliable to put the future on men. So you are very smart and start to build your own power. Although I am unhappy, you can't completely trust me. But no It will stop you, after all, the power you build is based on my face in the final analysis. It is both yours and mine. I just care, you have something to hide from me."

Seeing that the time was right, Liu Piaopiao asked He Zhi to close the door, and when she lowered her head in boredom, she would raise her head again with tears on her face.

"Your Highness, I heard from my father that you will marry Liu Wenlan as the main wife and me as the concubine?"

Lu Ji breathed a sigh of relief: "Is it just for this?"

Liu Piaopiao shook her head with a wry smile: "No, I just learned the truth about my mother's death."

Her words and sentences seemed to contain infinite resentment and unwillingness: "My mother was framed by Liu Qian. After the collapse, there was no one to treat her to death. The poor mother loved her father all her life. In the end, she didn't even have a coffin. Buried in a mass grave. How can I not hate, how can I get along with Liu Wenlan in harmony."

Seeing her crying, Lu Ji felt his heart ache, and immediately said, "Then don't get along!"

"But the candidate has already been decided, how can His Highness refuse?"

"Just trust me." He looked at Liu Piaopiao affectionately, "It's as if I never doubted you, you have to learn to trust me."

Liu Piaopiao then held Lu Ji's outstretched palm.Warm and powerful enough to pull Liu Piaopiao out of the quagmire.

"Okay, then I believe His Highness."

It wasn't until Liu Piaopiao left that Chang Qing asked a puzzled question.

"Master, why are you so afraid of Liu Wenlan? Isn't it good to rely on Master Liu?"

"It's not bad, it's because the Liu family's power is too great. After marrying her, the Liu family will definitely use all their strength to elect him. Then one day, it's not my choice to support that child to overthrow me or make him a puppet emperor." Arrived. On the contrary, the power behind Liu Piaopiao will not be greater than Liu Yirong and Wang Heng. On the contrary, it can form a pulling force, and it will be easier for me to do things in the future."

"So that's the case." Chang Qing nodded, "But the queen has already finalized the candidate, you can't stop Liu Wenlan's sedan chair outside on the day of your wedding, right?"

Lu Ji knocked Chang Qing on the head: "Why don't you tie her up and release her after two days, then you don't have to bother, she will definitely not have any more thoughts."

"Good idea, as expected of Your Highness!"

Chang Qing gave a thumbs up, but was kicked by Lu Ji.

"How dare you use such a sinister method."

Chang Qing hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'm joking master!"

Chang Qing didn't dare, Liu Wenlan was much more ruthless than him.She had to think of a way to completely bring down Liu Piaopiao, otherwise, the second prince's wedding would be followed by Lu Ji's letter of engagement.At that time, Liu Piaopiao will become a sure side room.

Here, Liu Piaopiao put his heart back in his stomach after probing Lu Ji's tone.Although I don't know what his idea is, since Lu Ji said that, Liu Piaopiao chose to believe him.So now the only thing to guarantee is Liu Piaopiao's own safety.

At such a juncture, she must not make any mistakes.

Knowing that Liu Wenlan had the intention of harming her, Liu Piaopiao tried to avoid going out with her as much as possible.But no matter how much it can be avoided, it is unavoidable, the Liu Mansion is so big, they will always meet each other.

As a younger sister, Liu Piaopiao always bows her head when meeting Liu Wenlan.Knowing that the person in front of her almost caused her to lose her innocence, Liu Piaopiao had no choice but to respect her.

"Second sister."

Liu Wenlan nodded to indicate that Liu Piaopiao didn't need to be too polite, both of them knew each other in their hearts and wished that they would die quickly, but when they really met, they had to pretend to be snakes.

After greeting each other, Liu Piaopiao spoke first.

"Has Second Sister visited Third Sister?"

Liu Wenlan nodded: "I've seen it, what did she do to make my father so angry?"

Liu Piaopiao slandered, I'm afraid Liu Wenlan didn't know that Liu Yufu had revealed the truth, and thought she was kept in the dark.So following her words: "I don't know either, but I heard people say that it seems to be a private meeting with a stranger. Alas, I really don't know what Third Sister thinks."

Liu Wenlan's expression was solemn: "You are too courageous, have you caught the person in the private meeting?"

"No, it's not necessarily true. After all, it's just what the servants said. Second sister, don't take it to heart."

"Sigh, this girl Yufu has been careless since she was a child."

Liu Piaopiao couldn't help sneering, who did Liu Yufu do this for?As for that person, wasn't Liu Wenlan the one who selected him carefully.Based on her understanding of Liu Wenlan, if she couldn't kill herself, then Liu Wenlan would be the first to kill Liu Yufu.It is estimated that within two days, rumors will be flying around.

Liu Piaopiao blessed Fushen, and she still wanted to see Liu Yirong.After bidding farewell to Liu Wenlan, Liu Piaopiao went to the study.

"Father, I'm back."

Liu Yirong seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, and he was a little moved when he saw Liu Piaopiao.It seemed that he remembered the woman from many years ago, and he couldn't help but feel emotional for a while.

"Have you ever paid homage to your mother?"

"I've been there, Father." Liu Piaopiao paused, "Mother's tomb has been in disrepair for a long time, and the tombstones are all dilapidated. My son wants to rebuild the tomb for her mother, so that she can feel at ease in the world."

Liu Yirong waved his hand: "You can do whatever you want, and you don't need to report to me."

"Yes." Liu Piaopiao knew that Liu Yirong didn't care about Hu Rui, and it was an exception to have such a reaction.At this time, it is futile to say more.Only by bringing down Liu Qian can the mother be cleared.

"My son went to see the prince."

Speaking of this, Liu Yirong became interested.

"How are you getting along with the prince?"

Liu Piaopiao pursed her lips, looking a little shy.

"His Royal Highness likes children very much."

"Okay," Liu Yirong was very happy, but he was also a little dissatisfied, "You should also think about your sister, and you will bring her to any gathering in the future, you know."

"Yes, it's just that there is a lot of wind and sand in spring. My sister is not in good health, and I'm afraid that the old disease will recur, so it's not good."

Liu Yirong didn't worry too much about this, "Just pay more attention, she is much healthier now than before."

Liu Piaopiao had nothing to say, Liu Yirong's eccentricity was too obvious.Everything she has is won by fighting for it, but Liu Wenlan is different, as long as she stands there, the people behind her will arrange everything for her.

It has to be admitted that the identity gap is so obvious.No matter how much you try to narrow the distance, the concubine's lowliness is always with you.

She must complete the identity change as soon as possible, and have the same bargaining chips as those famous ladies in Vanity Fair.

Therefore, in the name of sending invitations, Liu Piaopiao went to uncle Liu Yifeng's door for the first time.

Liu Yifeng died young, leaving only an only son.Therefore, this branch is far less brilliant than Liu Yirong. Before Liu Yufeng became the captain of Changshui, he was just a small official in charge of detaining prisoners in a court lieutenant.

Liu Wenyan was locked up at home by Liu Yirong for a long time, and he could only stay with Su Xiao every day.He has no feelings for Su Xiao, of course he doesn't want to, so he sneaks to Meiniang's yard every day, and stays there all afternoon.

Liu Piaopiao brought things, some tonics to nourish qi and blood, and gadgets to relieve boredom.I wanted to visit Su Xiaohou and Liu Wenyan to send invitations to Liu Yufeng's mansion together, but I didn't see Liu Wenyan at all.She knew who Liu Wenyan was with as soon as she thought about it, so she was not in a hurry.Sit down and have a conversation with Su Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, I have wronged you."

"Is there any grievance or not, I am very satisfied now that I have a child."

Su Xiao took Liu Piaopiao's hand, "It's you, who is really wronged now. I also heard about that a few days ago, Liu Yufu is really vicious."

Liu Piaopiao sighed: "Since she can't come up with such an idea, I'm afraid that the people behind me won't like me, and there will be other means."

It was late, Liu Piaopiao got up and was going to find Liu Wenyan to send invitations together.But Su Xiao pulled him back: "Liu Wenyan is just mud that can't support the wall, why do you still look up to him in everything. He didn't want to go, and now all his heart is on that bitch. Fifth girl, You have to know that Liu Wenyan is the eldest family's natal family, not your natal family. If you are attached to him, you might as well have a good relationship with that cousin of yours. After all, even if Liu Wenyan is supported, what does he have? use?"

After Su Xiao finished speaking, he even took out his savings.

"That uncle has just been promoted, you should visit him alone today. Offer your heart and win him over."

This move couldn't help but make Liu Piaopiao's heart warm, and immediately grabbed Su Xiao's hand.

"I didn't know my sister-in-law was so worried about me."

She patted the back of Su Xiao's hand, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I have my own plans."

Su Xiao is still worried: "You have always been a person with ideas. If you don't have enough money, I can subsidize you. Just remember, you can't count on the people in this house."

Liu Piaopiao said: "I know, they belong to Liu Wenlan."

Su Xiao also sighed: "Yes, after all, she is a legitimate daughter. It would be fine if you were a legitimate daughter."

Liu Piaopiao didn't speak, she had countless thoughts and plans in her heart.It's just that nothing can be said before things happen.

She only murmured in her heart: "It doesn't matter what kind of concubine or concubine he is, he walked the road by himself."

She accepted Su Xiao's kindness, but she didn't use it to please that cousin.

She had already given Liu Yufeng a big gift, even if she thanked her, it should be Liu Yufeng who thanked her.

Liu Piaopiao is Liu Yufeng's nobleman, not Liu Yufeng who made Liu Piaopiao.

A small sedan chair stopped at the door of Liu's Mansion, and a man was already standing on the stairs.

He is tall and tall, like a pine and a cypress.His face was even more resolute, and his eyes were black and bright, waiting for an opportunity like a cheetah.

It was Liu Yufeng, Liu Yifeng's only son.Kong has martial arts skills but is depressed, so he only becomes a small official to guard the prisoners.It's not that he hasn't begged his uncle, but Liu Yirong's lintel is about to be trampled by people who are in power.As soon as Liu Yufeng arrived at the door, he was kicked out because of his shabby clothes, and he couldn't see his uncle at all.

Not only did he not recognize it, but he was too lazy to deal with poor relatives.

Until not long ago, an imperial decree hit his head.

Xiyuan Eighth Colonel, Changshui Colonel.

His nobleman is here.
