Chapter 44

The housekeeper Gou outside the car had already knelt on the ground and reported his family to the eunuch.

"From Dingguo Houfu?"

The eunuch glanced at the carriage gloomily, but couldn't see anything clearly inside the carriage through the curtain.

Butler Goji quickly cupped his hands.

"It's our second lady."

Now that the news of Jiang Jinyue's engagement to Li Zongyu has spread all over the capital, the eunuch will report that he is Li Zongyu's, so Steward Gou must emphasize it.

When the eunuch heard that it was the second lady, he became more polite. He got off the horse and stood beside the carriage, bowing his hands to the inside of the carriage.

"Second Miss, it's a routine matter, please come out for a while."

Jiang Jinyue's face turned cold.

She thought that she could fool Li Zongyu tonight with the name of Li Zongyu's unmarried concubine, but she didn't want the eunuch to be so stubborn.

"Eunuch, I'm really sorry. I just came back from a night tour with the Twelve Princes. It seems that I have suffered from the cold and feel a little uncomfortable. Can you be accommodating?"

As she spoke, she looked at her carriage. The only thing she could hide people now was the stool under her buttocks, but the young man in front of her was as dull as a bewitched man, and she might have to waste a little effort.

The father-in-law didn't move.

"It's okay, the second lady doesn't move, let's go up and have a look."

After saying that, he already stepped up and was about to walk in from the front curtain.

"My father-in-law stays behind, Jinyue's clothes are disheveled, take a moment to straighten up."

It was too late to think about it, Jiang Jinyue clasped the young man's head, and stuffed it directly under the stool. Although the stool was small, but fortunately the young man was thin and thin, barely able to get in.

"It's okay, we only need to take a look at our house."

Now there is only one carriage from Jiang Jinyue's side in the long street, and the leader of the imperial guards has just reported that the person is missing here. Whether it is Jiang Jinyue or not, he must be careful.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Jiang Jinyue in the carriage was sitting on the stool, arranging her hair.

Coincidentally, the palace tablet engraved with the word "Li" in his arms fell at the father-in-law's feet.

Jiang Jinyue looked flustered, presumably because she was frightened by this father-in-law's behavior, and the hollow golden hairpin in her hand was not fixed yet.

"Miss!"

Luluo blocked the way, and now she is standing directly in front of the carriage door, blocking the father-in-law's gaze.

She was originally a country girl, she was used to being wild and rude, so she couldn't say anything polite at the moment, so she stood directly at the door and stared at the unyielding father-in-law.

The father-in-law looked at the token on the ground, nodded and bowed instantly, and held the token in both hands to hand it to Jiang Jinyue.

"Second Miss, please forgive me. It's a villain who is reckless. The little one deserves to die, but he doesn't even know Second Miss."

Lu Luo became angry when she saw the eunuch's ambiguity, grabbed the token with her hands, and stood at the door to prevent the father-in-law from entering.

Jiang Jinyue's hands trembled, the emerald jade on her head tinkled, and her voice was weak and pitiful like a mosquito.

"My father-in-law has never seen me, so he should be suspicious."

Even if Jiang Jinyue and Li Zongyu are on the same side now, it does not mean that the entire Dingguohou Mansion is on the side of the Twelve Princes. The capital is dark and changeable. What else can I say?
Seeing that the father-in-law really couldn't see the inside of the car clearly, and that the palace card indeed belonged to Li Zongyu with gold letters on a black background, he reckoned that the second lady in the car must be real.

"Second Miss, please go, let me go!"

The father-in-law waved to the officers and soldiers who were still blocking the road, and Steward Gou also got into the carriage and led Jiang Jinyue through the checkpoint.

"Thank you, Eunuch."

Jiang Jinyue sat in the car and thanked her.

The father-in-law's face became more and more obsequious, and he cupped his hands and responded: "Second Miss has flattered the villain, and I hope that Second Miss will speak well in front of the prince in the future."

When the carriage went far away, Jiang Jinyue breathed a sigh of relief, since she let the young man get on the carriage, she had passed this level with her forehead on her trouser belt.

If it is found that the person is in her car, let alone Li Zongyu's betrothal gift, even if two children are moved out, it is not enough for the executioner to chop with a knife.

Luluo got into the carriage and gave the palace card to Jiang Jinyue.

"Miss, that person who is neither male nor female is the eunuch in the palace?"

"Ah."

Jiang Jinyue put the palace plaque into her arms and nodded.

This is the first time that Luluo has seen a real eunuch, she knelt at the door of the carriage and turned to Jiang Jinyue and said.

"My mother said that those people who were neither male nor female in history were all bad people, flattering and flattering. I saw that eunuch just now..."

"Green radish."

Jiang Jinyue frowned. There were many eunuchs in the capital at the foot of the imperial city. Even if she didn't like it, she couldn't say it so bluntly.

Luluo looked over and blinked her bright eyes.

Jiang Jinyue reached out and rubbed the two buns on her head.

"You can't say such things in the future. When you come to the capital, you will often see eunuchs in the future. You don't like all of them, but it's just embarrassing your lady."

Only then did Luluo realize that she patted her forehead and confessed to Jiang Jinyue.

"Ah, miss... that's not what I meant."

It was only then that she remembered that if Jiang Jinyue married Li Zongyu in the future, she would be surrounded by eunuchs in the palace.

Jiang Jinyue nodded, she understood that Lu Luo didn't mean that, but this girl was used to wild things, and she didn't speak properly.

After a pause, Jiang Jinyue leaned into Luluo's ear and whispered.

"Luluo, I need you to help me with something."

"Miss, please tell me."

Luluo stuck out her tongue mischievously one moment ago, but at the next moment she saw her lady pull out a ten-year-old boy from under the low stool, she was so shocked that she almost bit her own tongue.

"Shh."

Jiang Jinyue put her index finger up against her mouth to keep Lu Luo silent. Lu Luo immediately covered her mouth with both hands, her face was pale, and it took a long time before she dared to breathe.

"Miss, is this..."

She couldn't complete a sentence, but the annoying eunuch just understood what he said very clearly. When he came out to arrest someone, he caught the wrong big man. The real thief was a thin young man, could it be the one in front of him?
Thinking of the thrilling scene just now, Luluo's courage was almost terrified.

"Yes."

Jiang Jinyue nodded and said to Lu Luo.

"So, I need you to get off the car from the front door later to buy me a roast goose from Wang Xingji's family, and then take this man around the Hou's mansion from the back door of the car. Don't worry, the officers and soldiers are only encircling and suppressing near the imperial city. If you can’t find it here, take someone to hide, and I’ll climb over the wall at night to find you.”

"Wuuuuuuu Miss I..."

Luluo's face turned pale with fright, and she couldn't even cry.

"Don't be afraid. In the future, you will follow me to rob the rich and help the poor. Today is the time to test you."

Jiang Jinyue patted Luluo's forehead, her expression became serious.

"Luluo, do you know why I chose you then?"

Luluo shook her head, and Jiang Jinyue laughed.

"Because I like the wildness in you. Although you are timid, I believe that you will be able to complete the tasks I entrusted to you."
