Concubine in power
Chapter 41 The Clever Maid
After Wanyue and Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao for a while, they exchanged glances, then walked to Lu Zhiyao's side in unison, and carried her into the room.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the serious expressions of the two, and asked nervously again: "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong?" Yudie repeated what Lu Zhiyao said, and asked with a strange expression: "Miss, don't you remember anything about what happened last night?"
Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao's heart tremble suddenly, could it be that he caused some trouble after he got drunk? !Lu Zhiyao frowned in annoyance, but still couldn't recall anything.Shaking his head weakly, Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice: "Do you know when I came back last night?"
"I know, of course I know!" Seeing Lu Zhiyao's confused face, Yudie guessed that she was really drunk last night.In my heart, I feel that this eldest lady is so courageous that she dared to go to the eighth prince's house to drink and make trouble. After Lu Zhiyao sat down firmly, Yudie told Lin Yinan what she told Lu Zhiyao last night. come out. "The eighth prince sent you back last night. The eighth prince asked me to tell you that he promised to help you, but there is only one condition, that is, I hope you will not go to him to drink and make trouble in the future. If you don't drink, everything is easy to talk about !"
Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao instantly annoyed and ashamed. She didn't know what happened to her last night. As long as Lu Zhiyao thought of Lin Yinan's joking expression when he said that, she would feel all over her body. uneasy.
"Hey." Yudie sighed, gave Wanyue a look to let her stay by Lu Zhiyao's side to serve, and then said softly to Lu Zhiyao: "I'll get you something to eat."
After Yudie left, Lu Zhiyao still couldn't believe that he was really ashamed last night.Looking at Wanyue hesitantly, Lu Zhiyao asked her in a low voice whether Yudie's words were true or not.What can be obtained is still Wanyue's affirmative answer.
"After the eighth prince sent someone to pick you up last night, my sister stayed in your room and waited for you to come back. Later, when she saw that the eighth prince sent you off in person, she was shocked! Your clothes are all My sister took it off, if you don’t believe me, I’ll find it out for you, you smell it, it smells like alcohol!”
"This time it's really embarrassing." Lu Zhiyao murmured in his heart, but he didn't know that instead of being embarrassing, she surprised many people last night.
Because of being drunk, Lu Zhiyao didn't have the mood to think about other things, so he spent the whole morning in his room until noon, when Lan Ruoling appeared in front of her.
Lan Ruoling's strange eyes made Lu Zhiyao feel even more ashamed. It seems that the people around Lin Yinan must have seen her ugly appearance after drinking too much.Lu Zhiyao smiled flatteringly at Lan Ruoling, but unfortunately, Lan Ruoling's expression didn't change in any way.
Lan Ruoling stared intently at Lu Zhiyao in front of her, she really couldn't believe that this woman was able to defeat Ling Yi with one move.
Lan Ruoling thought about it, but couldn't help but lost her mind.After waking up suddenly, Lan Ruoling secretly clenched her fists and told herself that now is not the time to think about that.
"The eighth prince asked me to help you." While speaking, Lan Ruoling glanced at the maid beside Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao understood what she meant, and sent Wanyue and Yudie out, leaving only her and Lan Ruoling in the room.
"I didn't expect that the person sent by the eighth prince turned out to be Miss Lan, so I feel relieved." Lu Zhiyao only thought that Lin Yinan sent such a powerful character as Lan Ruoling to show his sincerity.But he didn't know that now Lin Yinan only had Lan Ruoling as a trustworthy woman by his side. In order not to arouse suspicion, he asked Lan Ruoling to assist her. Even if he was accidentally bumped into by someone, he would be able to give excuses and reasons. "I hope that Miss Lan can help me guard near my mother's grave, and if anyone tries to plot illegally to open the coffin and steal the corpse, she will be arrested immediately."
"It's not difficult." Lan Ruoling nodded, and readily agreed to Lu Zhiyao's request. "anything else?"
"The other thing is to pay attention to the movements of my second mother, Ye Lianrong. I don't think she can do it by herself, because she doesn't have the time and energy. Don't bother Miss Lan, I will take care of it myself."
"Well, I'll go back now and arrange for people to go to your mother's grave. If there is any movement, I will send someone to notify you."
Lan Ruoling handled things quickly, and after a while, she and Lu Zhiyao decided on a plan.After Lan Ruoling left, Lu Zhiyao's heart also slowly fell to the ground.Standing in the yard, looking at the direction Lan Ruoling left, Lu Zhiyao felt that Lan Ruoling, who dared to enter and leave the Prime Minister's mansion freely in broad daylight, was indeed not an ordinary person.Even though she is under the Eighth Prince, even if she has the Eighth Prince as a backer, it is not easy for a woman to stand at that height and have such courage.It's no wonder that my father took such a fancy to this woman back then.
Lan Ruoling quickly arranged people, but Ye Lianrong didn't know anything about it, and everything was going on as scheduled.Ye Lianrong received a message from Ye Chengnan, saying that he had already found someone and would go to work tonight, and asked Ye Lianrong to prepare the silver taels for him quickly, because Feihe Tower was also pressing hard.
Ye Lianrong had no choice but to go to Lu Yuanzheng because of Ye Chengnan's teasing.Unluckily, he met Lu Zhiyao who was walking leisurely on the way, and Ye Lianrong gradually had a bad feeling in her heart.
Ye Lianrong acted as if she hadn't seen Lu Zhiyao, and went straight towards Lu Yuanzheng's study.Lu Zhiyao smiled at Ye Lianrong's back, and whispered to Wanyue beside him, "What do you think she went to see my father for?"
"What good can the second lady do with the master!" Wanyue curled her lips in disdain, and replied: "Either to speak ill of you, miss, or to have some fancy clothes and jewelry."
Wanyue's impression of Ye Lianrong was deeply ingrained and could not be changed, which made Lu Zhiyao want to laugh out loud.If Ye Lianrong hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't have picked such a good maid.
"Go, follow me to have a look."
Lu Zhiyao took Wanyue and followed Ye Lianrong slowly.After Ye Lianrong entered the study, Lu Zhiyao sped up his pace a little.
Lu Zhiyao asked Wanyue to stay outside the yard so that she could give herself some hints once someone came.Tiptoing into the courtyard, Lu Zhiyao listened attentively to the conversation between Ye Lianrong and Lu Yuanzheng, the more he listened, the more interesting he found it.
The confidant next to Lu Yuanzheng appeared unexpectedly, and Wanyue, who was in charge of keeping the wind under control, turned pale in fright.Trying to stabilize herself so that she doesn't look so guilty, Wanyue took the initiative to stop the man and grinned.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Wanyue, Chu Hansheng frowned suspiciously, then turned his head to look into the yard, and saw Lu Zhiyao's sneaky figure. "What is Missy doing?"
"Shhh...!" Wanyue's eyes trembled, thinking about it.Pulling Chu Hansheng's sleeves and walking away, Wanyue said with a mysterious smile: "Don't go there, our lady has something to do with the master, and she is thinking about giving the master a surprise! If you go by now, you must It will make the young lady unhappy. I don't tell you what the young lady's status is in the house now, right?"
After hearing Wanyue's words, Chu Hansheng let out an "oh".He looked in the direction of the yard again, and met the gaze projected by Lu Zhiyao impartially.Chu Hansheng froze for a moment, quickly nodded to Lu Zhiyao, and then started talking to Wanyue again.
"Miss, what surprise are you going to give Master?" Chu Hansheng asked curiously.
"I don't know, Miss didn't tell me anything." Wanyue lied without blushing, and after seeing Lu Zhiyao approaching, she said to Chu Hansheng: "Here, Missy is here. Just ask her yourself!"
Lu Zhiyao walked to Wanyue's side, pursed his lips and smiled.Seeing Chu Hansheng's curious eyes, Lu Zhiyao turned to look at Wanyue, and asked her silently.
"Miss, everyone has seen you, so don't hide it, tell us what surprise you are going to give the master! You see, Brother Chu and I are here, and we have been guessing for a long time!"
After hearing Wanyue's words, Lu Zhiyao smiled softly.Looking directly at Chu Hansheng, Lu Zhiyao boldly said: "Don't tell my father about my coming here today. I wanted to surprise him, but I didn't expect Erniang to be inside. I heard what they said for a while. I can't finish talking for a while, so I will go back first and come to him later. I will tell you two this secret, if you reveal it to me, don't blame me for not letting you!"
Wanyue and Chu Hansheng nodded again and again, Lu Zhiyao lowered his head coyly, twisted his clothes and continued, "Actually, it's nothing, it's just something about me and the Eighth Prince..."
Lu Zhiyao's words were unclear, which made Chu Hansheng, who listened to her words, have to think about it.These days, everyone has been rumoring that the eighth prince has affection for the eldest lady. Although neither of them nodded in affirmation, the eighth prince has also visited the eldest lady in the prime minister's residence several times, so there should be no mistake, right?When Chu Hansheng remembered that Lu Zhiqing's appearance had been ruined, even if she married the Seventh Prince, she probably wouldn't be favored. On the contrary, this eldest lady has become more and more pleasing to the eye recently, and she is much prettier than before, so he naturally wanted to Follow the meaning of landing away.
"Don't worry, miss, I won't tell anyone about this."
Lu Zhiyao was satisfied with Chu Hansheng's swearing guarantee.After finding a certain piece of silver, Lu Zhiyao stuffed it into Chu Hansheng's hand in surprise, and then said softly: "Because of some reasons, it was impossible to give you any benefits. But it's different now. It's not easy to be a slave, you just accept this, and you will serve him well by my father's side in the future, even if I get married one day, I will never forget your kindness."
Lu Zhiyao looked at the serious expressions of the two, and asked nervously again: "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong?" Yudie repeated what Lu Zhiyao said, and asked with a strange expression: "Miss, don't you remember anything about what happened last night?"
Yudie's words made Lu Zhiyao's heart tremble suddenly, could it be that he caused some trouble after he got drunk? !Lu Zhiyao frowned in annoyance, but still couldn't recall anything.Shaking his head weakly, Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice: "Do you know when I came back last night?"
