Prisoner Project launched

Liu Buqi learned from Zhang Xiruo that Shangguan Luoyang's father, the old man he met in the hall today, was Shangguan Yan, the governor of Shandong!

In the entire Shandong area, he is a powerful official who stands on equal footing with the Inspector General and the Commander-in-Chief!

In the evening, there was a bustle in the backyard. Bai Jinjing went out to find out and found out that Shangguan Luoyang would stay in Lu's house for a while. Qin was busy cleaning the courtyard and arranging servants to serve.

Thinking about how he had to wait for half a day at the side door before he could enter the yard, he had to endure a lot of contempt from the people in the back house during this period.

Shangguan Luoyang, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, could enter the house openly and be followed by everyone in the mansion.

"Comparing myself to others is really frustrating!" Liu Buqi laughed at himself while instructing Bai Jinjing and Zhang Xiruo to be careful with their words and actions for the next period of time and reduce contact with the inner quarters.

The month from the time of worshipping at the ancestral temple will be the most difficult thirty days since I appeared in this era!

…

In the early morning, a dozen maids and servants came to the courtyard that was usually deserted. The noise woke up Liu Buqi, who had been staying in bed for half a day.

Stretching lazily, he walked out of the room and saw Bai Jinjing confronting a group of aggressive women.

After listening for a long time, Liu Buqi finally understood that these dozen people were servants assigned to Shangguan Luoyang by the wives of the three families, Lu Ren, Lu Yi, and Lu Zhi.

Having nothing to do early in the morning, she ran to wake up her concubine and pay her respects to the mistress of the house.

Unexpectedly, she was blocked at the door by Bai Jinjing who said, "How can a wife who has not yet married into the family be the mistress?"

Although she had never lived in a mansion like Liu Buqi, she grew up in Yanjing and was surrounded by soldiers and ruffians.

These dozen or so shrewish women may be able to scare the ladies in the inner house on weekdays, but they are obviously not enough when they meet Bai Jinjing.

There was a sharp-eyed person in the group who saw Liu Buqi come out, walk over the troublesome Bai Jinjing, and shout loudly!

"Tell me, how can there be such a concubine? She sleeps until noon and doesn't even pay her respects to the mistress! She's really disrupting the rules of the harem and must be punished according to the family law!"

Yawning, Liu Buqi actually clapped his hands as he watched the performance. "Come on, keep it up! Shout louder, even louder!"

The woman was a little confused, but thinking that she was in the right and was usually favored by the lady, she continued to shout and scream, wishing that everyone in the harem could hear her loyalty to the master and her scolding of the concubine.

He provoked the person in front of him with a tone that seemed to be mocking and laughing, "Someone should show up soon!"

Liu Buqi's judgment was indeed accurate. Shangguan Luoyang rushed into the yard with a dark face and a crowd of people following him!

The woman who was shouting hurried over and was about to ask for reward, but an old maid who was obviously from the Shangguan family came up and slapped her twice!

A dozen maids and nannies who were cheering on the side stood there dumbfounded, unable to move forward or backward.

These dozen people had no idea that Shangguan Luoyang's current identity was actually very embarrassing.

Not to mention that the two families just made a verbal agreement on marriage, even if the betrothal gift was really given, how could a girl just come and live in the man’s house before getting married?

Now you can do bad things to Liu Buqi secretly, squeeze her privately, ridicule her, suppress and slander her, but you can't use Liu Buqi and Shangguan Luoyang's identities as an excuse!

What's more, it happened in public and was known to everyone in the harem.

"Master Liu, I'm new here and haven't had time to discipline the servants yet. Please forgive me for any offense!"

"Madam, which hospital sent these people from? Just send them back! We're just staying here temporarily, why do we need so many servants?"

Shangguan Luoyang, who is always meticulous in his work, would never have guessed what was going on in the head of Liu Buqi, who was looking at him with a half-smile on his face!

"Wow! This is what a heroine looks like! With just a few words, she's already erased most of the damage to her reputation!"

"The most important thing is that I've cleaned up a lot of people around me all at once. After I marry in, even if the ladies in the Lu Mansion want to insert someone in, they'll have good reasons to refuse!"

"Amazing, awesome! Really awesome!"

…

In short, the farce that happened early in the morning ended with a "harmonious conversation" between the two people.

However, in the following days, the daily supply of fruits and vegetables in Liu Buqi's yard became less and less.

Fortunately, Liu Buqi herself was not a spoiled person. She had even lived with Yue Lingxi in a thatched cottage for three years. This little thing was no big deal to her.

The dignified Lu family would not starve to death, although they would need to spend some money to ask Zhang Xiruo and Bai Jinjing to buy some food to supplement their expenses.

Just like that, ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these ten days, Zhang Xiruo was inexplicably stopped at the door more than a dozen times, and Bai Jinjing was inexplicably harassed by maids and nannies more than a dozen times. Fortunately, the two were strictly ordered to be patient and not cause trouble, so Zhang Xiruo's violent temper did not cause any trouble.

Liu Buqi simply stayed at home, and although the three of them, the master and servant, became the laughingstock of the inner house, they were much quieter after all.

Finally, news of Yue Lingxi came through the Desheng Tavern. He had received a letter from Lu Ren, saying that the family had made connections and could allow Yue Lingxi to pass through Tai'an in the name of a businessman and return home to participate in ancestor worship.

Yue Lingxi's message didn't mention the engagement, and it wasn't known whether Lu Ren hadn't mentioned it, or...

Liu Buqi also had to admit that Shangguan Luoyang was indeed a good match for Yue Lingxi in a sense, and his ability to control the harem was far inferior to hers.

It has only been a dozen days, and I heard that because of his clear rewards and punishments, he has won the support of many servants. Even a few picky aunts praised Shangguan Luoyang for always paying their respects.

Not to mention his obvious family background! This is the official support Yue Lingxi lacks the most!

When Liu Buqi was planning, he even thought about whether to take this opportunity to drag the Shangguan family onto Yue Lingxi's chariot!

But she is not just a strategist after all! Her relationship with Yue Lingxi is not that of a master and subordinate.

There's a world of difference between the two characters, Master and Husband! In short, Liu Buqi definitely couldn't accept sharing her husband with others!

This is true no matter what generation you live in!

"The plan has been set, so there is no need to worry about gains and losses. Let's just go all out from now on!" Liu Buqi tried hard to dispel his doubts.

Facts have proven that I'm clearly not suited to stirring up trouble in the backyard! So let's break all the jars and start anew!

"Jin Jing, notify Zhu Changcai, the Prisoner Project has been activated!"
