Chapter 166 Take a Step to Talk

Chen Siyao vividly talked about what happened in the Planting Flower Pavilion last night.

"Master Liang fell in love with Miss Xiaowan from the Flower Planting House. I heard that he spent thousands of taels of silver on Miss Xiaowan. Miss Xiaowan had an appointment with Master Liang last night. I never thought that Cao Desheng would go first. Cao Desheng bullied the girl Xiaowan and refused to give in. Master Liang was so angry that the two started arguing. Think about it, Cao Desheng is the commander of the City Patrol Division and has martial arts skills. How did Master Liang manage to beat him? Cao Desheng’s men stripped down to only a pair of underpants and threw them on the street, it’s a shame.”

"Early this morning, a censor Zhezi visited Cao Desheng and the Liang family, and he was so angry with the emperor, that he went straight to the Zhaoyang Palace to give the empress a lecture. I heard that the empress was so angry that she couldn't eat her lunch. "

Lu Xiaoning was thoughtful, it happened by a coincidence, could it be Huangfu Shaoye's handwriting?She remembered that he said last night that he would use other methods to vent her anger?There is no need for her bitter tricks.

"Did the emperor not train Concubine Liang Gui?" Lu Xiaoning asked.

Chen Siyao shook her head: "I haven't heard of this, but the emperor must be unhappy, and I didn't feel embarrassed to ask you just now, I heard that Concubine Liang Gui has been asking your family for money, is there such a thing?"

Lu Xiaoning sighed: "Yesterday my father checked the accounts, and all the properties left by my mother are almost ruined. Either they went into the Lou family's pocket or the Liang family's pocket."

Chen Siyao was stunned: "What is your stepmother thinking? Isn't the Lu family her home? Isn't she the mistress of the Lu family?"

It’s okay for a daughter to be close to her natal family, and it’s okay to subsidize her natal family in private, but it’s really unheard of to say that her husband’s family is emptied to subsidize her natal family.

Lu Xiaoning's biological mother is the Huai'an Ji family, and the Ji family is one of the most wealthy families in the Zhou Dynasty, so the property left by Xiaoning's mother must be indispensable.

Lu Xiaoning smiled wryly, Bai Zhi checked the accounts and found out that the Lou family lost 50 taels by running the sea ship, gave at least a hundred thousand taels to the concubine Liang, and also subsidized the Lou family with 10,000+ taels, most of the money for the Lou family to buy a new house was Lou She also donated a small official for her eldest brother, and borrowed 30 taels of usury for her brother to run a sea-going ship to participate in shares.

Lou's family is really kind to her natal family. Perhaps in Lou's heart, those properties are Ji's dowry, and sooner or later they will be hers, Lu Xiaoning's, so she tries to move to her natal family and use the money to make money. It's a pity that the money was not born, but spent all of it with me.

Seeing Lu Xiaoning's unspeakable distress, Chen Siyao felt very sympathetic, why did Lu Xiaoning have such a stepmother?

While speaking, the carriage arrived at the Chen residence.

"Xiao Ning, let's have dinner at my house, my mother misses you very much." There is also the elder brother, Chen Siyao added silently.

"No, the atmosphere at home has been sluggish these two days. I'd better go back to accompany my father and grandmother. After I rest, let's get together again." Lu Xiaoning said, eating at someone's house with a big painted face would be disgusting of.

Chen Siyao was right when he thought about it, so he didn't force her.

"Then I'll get out of the car. If you have anything to say, let Xiwu or Du Ruo tell you. Don't be afraid to bother me, we are sisters." Chen Siyao said.

Lu Xiaoning felt warm in his heart, it's great to have such a friend.

"Siyao."

"Big brother..."

Chen Yanyu's voice came from outside the car.

Now that he has met the eldest son of the Chen family, Lu Xiaoning can't hide in the car and pretend to be dumb. Fortunately, Xi Wu is following him today, and Xi Wu is still relatively reserved. Du Ruo's eyes would be bright again with excitement.

Lu Xiaoning immediately got out of the car and gave Chen Yanyu a blessing: "Mr. Chen."

Seeing Lu Xiaoning's face, Chen Yanyu felt distressed mixed with anger, and even forgot to return the salute.

It turned out that Lu Xiaoning was beaten so badly.

Last night when he got the news, he was so depressed that he didn't sleep well all night, thinking that she was made things difficult by the queen on the first day she entered the imperial hospital, and the days to come would be even worse. He didn't know why, so he wanted to prescribe the right medicine I don't know where to start to help her solve the problem, I just think about it all night, and I go to ask for news at dawn.

After he figured out the situation, he felt even more troubled. Although there were many rumors, the bet between her and Huangfu Shaoye was the crux of the problem. The person who tied the bell had to be untied, but Huangfu Shaoye always twisted his temper. It was really tricky for Shaoye to take the initiative to cancel the betting contract.

He returned to the mansion restlessly all the way, and happened to meet Lu Xiaoning to send Siyao back.

"Brother..." Chen Siyao saw that his elder brother was in a daze, so he nudged his elder brother with his elbow and reminded him in a low voice.

Chen Yanyu came back to his senses, and lost the gentleness of the past, and said seriously: "Miss Lu, can you take a step to speak."

"Ah?" Lu Xiaoning hesitated, what did he want to tell her?And, it's getting late.

Chen Siyao smoothed things over: "Xiao Ning, go into the mansion to talk, it won't waste much time."

The eldest brother is so serious, he must have something important to say to Lu Xiaoning.

Lu Xiaoning had no choice but to let Ji Jiu wait outside, and brought Xi Wu into Chen's residence.

When they arrived at Chen Yanyu's outer study, Siyao didn't go in and let the two of them talk alone.

There were only two people in the study, Lu Xiaoning and Chen Yanyu. Chen Yanyu frowned solemnly, staring at her non-stop, which made Lu Xiaoning's scalp tingle and heart pounding. He couldn't understand why he was so serious.

"Mr. Chen, what do you want to say to me?" Lu Xiaoning asked with difficulty forcing a smile.

"Rumors are flying all over the sky today, is it your handwriting?" Chen Yanyu wanted to ask her if the wound on her face hurt, but when she thought of something more important, she went straight to the point.

Lu Xiaoning was stunned, he knew right away that he was a talented person and a smart person.

Lu Xiaoning said awkwardly: "Why do you think so? I've been staying in the Royal Hospital all day..."

Chen Yanyu said: "Your idea is right. Using public opinion to fight back, embarrassing Concubine Liang and embarrassing the empress, it does have a certain effect, but have you ever thought about it, so many rumors popping up all at once? , There are different opinions, but each of them hits the point. The speed of transmission is so fast. It can be seen that someone is manipulating behind the scenes, and the manipulator is a person who knows. Who is this person who knows? What happened in the palace, Especially when it comes to the empress, they are all kept silent. Who dares to speculate like this? It is conceivable that the rumors started from outside the palace, and the empress only needs to think a little bit, and she will know who is manipulating it. Ji's Silk and Satin Village The guests who come and go are all decent ladies and daughters, and it is the best place to spread rumors."

Lu Xiaoning's palms were sweating when he heard it, he could see through it at a glance, and it's hard to guarantee that others would not see through it.

Chen Yanyu continued: "Your method is feasible, but you are too eager. You should hold off for two days, and then let the rumors slowly prevail, and you must also be false and true. It is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and even add some absurdity. The ingredients are in it, let everyone identify it by themselves, this is called fishing in troubled waters, and crossing the sea. The empress is not a simple person, who can sit in that position, how can she not have some skills? Even if she knows that you did it this time , she can only suffer from this dumbness first, but you were just a thorn in her side, with the emperor's intervention, maybe she let you go, but now that you have become a thorn in her flesh, she can still forgive you?"
