Red makeup against the world

Chapter 868

"The imperial concubine is too polite," Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, and motioned for Bai Yao to help her up.

Xueying put the wooden box with both hands, and opened it to reveal the sapphire bottle.Can't help but said: "Young Madam, my wife likes to use this jade bottle to hold cold plums."

Xu Wanzhen glanced at her indifferently, Xueying knew that she was talkative, so she quickly bowed her head and bid farewell.

Bai Yao took out the sapphire bottle from the box, and praised: "The concubine Shi Zi is so willing to give up." With her eyes trained in the palace, she naturally knew that it was a rare and good thing.

Sapphire is common, but such a large piece of sapphire is rare.I don't know how much effort was spent polishing it into such a round jade bottle.

"Please keep it." Xu Wanzhen ordered.

What she cared about was not the value of this jade bottle, but that Mrs. Lu understood what she meant.

Jade bottle, jade bottle, is for "keep your mouth shut."

As expected of the disciple trained by Mr. Ning, Lu not only understood the meaning she conveyed, but also knew the importance of this matter, and kept his mouth shut.

It's just that Mrs. Lu is really good at being a person, and the preciousness of the jade bottle is enough to represent her gratitude.

The friendship between the two is ordinary, and it can even be said that they only maintain a balance on the surface.After all, Mrs. Lu has always had calculations against Xu Wanzhen.

At this time, Xu Wan was really willing to pass on the news to her, and she reciprocated.And use this jade bottle far beyond its value to express her apology for what she has done in the past.

This is the communication between high-ranking ladies. Without a word, one can understand what the other party means.

Xu Wan sincerely understood Lu Shi's subtle apology.Since the other party intends to reconcile, she will not pursue it further.

After all, sitting in Lu's position, one has to think about her room.Although there were some calculations, at most he stood by and watched, and did not take any action to hurt her.

"Is there any more of the honey pomelo that Zhuangzi gave you a few days ago?" Xu Wanzhen asked.

Bai Yao replied: "Madam ordered to make honey grapefruit tea, and left half a basket for eating."

"Then pick a few fresh ones without scars, and send them to Zhengchunyuan along with two cans of grapefruit tea." Xu Wanzhen ordered.

Bai Yao complied, and went to make arrangements.

In Zhengchun Courtyard, Lu Shi received Xu Wanzhen's return, with a slight smile on his face.This back and forth not only opened up the gap between the two of them in the past, but also opened a new beginning.

Up to now, she no longer dared to underestimate Xu Wanzhen.It would be great to be able to live in peace with her, even to a higher level.

……

Fan Yang was not far from the capital, and with the efficiency of Xiao cavalry guards, he had already figured out Lu Minjun's situation.

It was reported by the servants that Fengqi had entered Zhiyuan residence, and Xu Wanzhen was talking to him in the warm pavilion.

"Reporting to Young Madam, Mr. Lu Shimin is indeed the eldest daughter of the eldest family. Now Lu Shi said to the outside world that she died of a sudden illness due to the death of both parents and excessive mourning."

"According to the clues provided by the young lady, my subordinates searched for Jiaofang Division. But they found Lu Minjun's whereabouts in a state city hundreds of miles away from Fan Yang."

"How is she now?" Although Xu Wanzhen and Lu Minjun had never met, she was full of curiosity and pity for her.

Both her parents were murdered by the tribe, and she herself was trapped in the teaching workshop, and she was able to send Zhiyan out to deliver the news in such a critical situation.This woman is not simple.

Therefore, Xu Wanzhen is also very concerned about her fate, and does not want to see her being bullied.

"Young Madam, she is still a noble lady. It's just that Jiaofang has already made an appointment to auction her first night right on the fifth day of next month."

Fengqi was only ordered to investigate the truth, but Xu Wan didn't know what Xu Wan really planned, so he didn't make any further contact with Lu Minjun in order not to startle the snake.

Xu Wanzhen pondered slightly, and asked, "Are you sure you can rescue her?"

"It depends on what the young lady thinks. If you want to keep it secret, you can take her to redeem herself on the first night."

Ordinarily, only the female relatives of criminal officials would not be admitted to the Jiaofang Division, and they were all criminal slaves who were not allowed to redeem themselves.However, Lu Minjun obviously did not meet this requirement. I don't know what kind of tactics the Lu family used to conduct a secret operation.

Therefore, Lu Minjun was not included in the roster of Jiaofang Secretary. Although it is difficult to redeem himself, it is not impossible.

"If you want to rescue him as soon as possible, your subordinates will do it immediately." Fengqi said.

Xu Wanzhen thought for a while and said, "Well, you arrange someone to approach her and let her choose one."

What Lu Minjun plotted was not just her escape from the fire pit.Well, which method is better, she has to know for herself.That being the case, it is better to let her choose herself than to help others to the end.

"Okay, this subordinate understands." Fengqi cupped his hands and said, "Shannan Road sent back news that after Lu Kun left Lizhou, he went all the way to the southeast, and he hasn't been found yet."

The traces of Lu Kun and others are easy to find, and they are the most conspicuous among the crowd wherever they go.It's just that their whereabouts are erratic, and it takes some time to find them.

"Thank you for your hard work, General." Xu Wanzhen asked Qingmai to take out a letter of silver, and said: "For the hard work of the brothers, the general must not refuse."

Fengqi and others received the salaries of Xiaoqiwei, and Wu Zhengxiang transferred them to work for him, which is already a false public benefit.It's not always about making them run errands in vain.

Xu Wanzhen was generous, and Fengqi was not shy, she took the money and put it in her arms, and said goodbye.

"Mulan, give the general a ride for me."

Wen Mulan, who was named, was taken aback for a moment. She was the personal guard next to the young lady.This kind of welcome and delivery has always been the responsibility of the maidservant, how could the young lady point to herself?
He took a look at Xu Wanzhen and saw that she looked the same, so he took the order and left.

Fengqi forcibly suppressed his heart and was ecstatic, he knew that this was the young lady creating opportunities for him.After bowing his hands again to express his gratitude, he just stepped back.

The two have not seen each other since they parted at the pier that night.Walking side by side in the veranda, they all remembered what happened that night at the same time.

Feng Qi peeked at Wen Mulan, she was still the same, with a cold expression and a tall and straight body like a sword.She was walking beside him like this, and he wished that the road would be as long as possible.

But no matter how long the road is, it will come to an end.What's more, it only takes two quarters of an hour to arrive at the Chuihua Gate from Zhiyuanju.Both of them are martial arts practitioners, their feet are brisk, which makes the distance seem too short.

"Mulan, how are you doing these days?" Seeing that the Hanging Flower Gate was approaching, Fengqi stopped and looked at Wen Mulan and asked.

Wen Mulan nodded expressionlessly, and said, "It's okay. The general rescued me that night, and Mulan hasn't thanked me yet."

Feng Qi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I do it willingly, no thanks, no thanks."

"Willingly?" Wen Mulan thought over the words in her mind, her eyes showed vigilance.

Oops!Fengqi thought to himself, this time he accidentally exposed his flaws, I'm afraid Wen Mulan will avoid him even more in the future.

After thinking about it, he made a decisive decision.It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day. You don't know when the next time you see her, so why not take the opportunity to confess your love.
