Chapter 630: Planning Again

Ever since the last incident, she had no time to see Jiang Ning, but kept Jiang Ning in the house. She didn't know if she had bored the little girl.

The servants looked at each other in confusion: "This...we don't know either."

Hu Xin'er couldn't help but rub her brows: "Although the young lady is not our biological sister, the old lady loves her very much. You must not neglect her."

She was a little worried about Jiang Ning's situation and wanted to go there in person to see if anyone was mistreating her, but the most important thing at the moment was to discuss how to rescue Miss Du.

So, she thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Liu, go to the young lady's courtyard for me and take a look. If the servants there do a good job, you'll reward them with silver. But remember, you must see the young lady with your own eyes."

Xiao Liu responded and left.

Mu Qing sighed, "My wife is so thoughtful."

Although Jiang Ning's last inappropriate behavior was caused by the instigation of his servants, they all felt a little uncomfortable. They deliberately avoided mentioning the matter, but instead ignored Jiang Ning in their hearts.

If you think about it carefully, she is just a little girl. After coming to the Lu family, she only enjoyed a few days of good life. After that, the Lu family was in constant turmoil.

If he were really captured by the government today, the morale of the Lu family would surely be dispersed, and it is unknown what would become of Jiang Ning.

If she was recognized by the Lu family and it caused her misfortune, everyone would feel guilty.

Xiao Liu walked towards the room where the young lady lived, but when he got there, he saw the old woman at the door dozing off.

She immediately felt something was wrong and shook her neck with a sullen face: "Wang Po, where's the young lady? Why are you taking a nap here?"

But after calling the door several times, the old woman showed no signs of waking up. She felt helpless and could only knock on the door herself: "Young lady, are you in there?"

No one answered for a long time. She pushed open the door and was shocked to see the young lady's maid leaning against the bed and sleeping soundly. She was wearing a short cloak, which was obviously the young lady's.

The floor and objects in the room were clean and tidy, but there was no sign of the young lady.

"Miss, Miss Jiang Ning! Where are you?" Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart, and she looked around loudly. At this moment, she heard light footsteps outside. She quickly turned her head, only to find a slender figure standing outside.

She exclaimed in surprise: "Little Miss? Why are you here?"

Jiang Ning timidly put his hands in his sleeves and said, "I, I'm not running around. I'm just hungry and went to find some snacks."

Xiao Liu felt very distressed. It was already so late, and no one had brought breakfast to the young lady's room?

She personally called the servant who was cleaning outside and went to the kitchen to order breakfast.

Then, she shook the maidservants who were still sleeping soundly: "You bunch of wicked slaves, how dare you treat the young lady so rudely! Why don't you wake up quickly?"

Jiang Ning also joined in shouting, and finally managed to wake the maids and old women up.

When the maid saw Xiao Liu, she subconsciously smiled and said in a very flattering manner, "Hey, Miss Xiao Liu, why are you here? Did the young lady miss the young lady?"

"Miss Xiao Liu, just tell us if you have any questions. Look at us, we're already up late!"

Xiao Liu huffed, "How did you two get away with this? The Young Madam assigned you to take good care of the young lady, and even gave you a two-cent raise on your monthly salary, yet you're so ungrateful! I'm going to have the Young Madam replace you!"

The maidservants knelt hurriedly on the ground and said, "Miss Xiao Liu, it's unfair. We just happened to get up late today. We always treat you wholeheartedly. If you don't believe me, ask the young lady."

The little maidservant was so frightened that she started to cry. The old woman was a bit more courageous and pulled her aside, saying, "Look, young lady, there are only two of us in such a large courtyard, but we wipe everything inside every day, so it's spotless. The ground outside is also spotless. The young lady is so kind to us, how dare we neglect the young lady?"

She pointed at Jiang Ning again and said, "Look at the young lady's complexion. Does she look like someone who has been neglected?"

Jiang Ning put down the bowl and said timidly, "Sister Xiaoliu, please don't chase Granny Wang and the others away. I was naughty and ran away on my own."

Xiao Liu looked at her soft and lovely appearance, and his heart softened. But even though the maids and old women said nice things, he actually saw how these people didn't even let the young lady have breakfast. How could he possibly believe it?

She said with a sullen face, "Anyway, I will report today's events truthfully to the Young Madam. As for how the Young Madam will handle it, you'll just have to wish her the best!"

She hurried to the main courtyard, but overlooked one thing - where did Jiang Ning find snacks so early in the morning?

In the main courtyard, after Hu Xiner finished her breakfast, they sat around the table to discuss how to impress Lord Chu.

Hu Xiner was the first to suggest, "From what Lord Chu said, Prefect Shen and his men should come over later and take us to the court to confront the Zhou family. Can we tell Lord Chu the whole truth then?"

Lu Yunjue nodded slightly: "Sister-in-law, what you said makes sense, but if that happens, we will also expose everything to the eyes of Prefect Shen and the Zhou family. What if they are desperate?"

The Shen family and the Zhou family are in the court and the underworld respectively. The forces that the two sides can mobilize must be unimaginable. It is very easy to deal with a small Lu family.

The Lu family is facing internal and external troubles. Although the two brothers are skilled in martial arts, they may not be able to avoid the attacks from both sides.

If they really do something desperate, any mishap in the Lu family will probably not be able to bear the consequences.

Mu Qing shook his head and rejected the proposal: "It is best for us to lie low first, making the enemy think that we are no threat to them. Then, we can quietly gather the remaining forces of the Du family and inform Lord Yu Chu of the truth of the matter."

He felt that the Du family had been operating in Qingzhou City for many years, and both their connections and power should be stronger than they appeared. The fact that they were easily taken down by Prefect Shen was because they were caught off guard.

The miracle doctors and craftsmen we met before are good examples.

If those remaining forces were truly gathered, the Lu family's safety would be guaranteed.

Lu Yunjue disagreed with him: "Let's not even talk about how we can gain the trust of the remaining forces of the Du family. Even if we really get them to unite and rescue the Du family, it will definitely take a long time. By then, Miss Du may have met with an accident."

Their ultimate goal is to rescue Miss Du!
