The Icy Earl Falls for Me

An ice-cold, outwardly defiant, love-deprived Earl versus a soft-bodied, stubborn, intelligent noblewoman from a Marquis's estate.

Nan Xu, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Yong'an, ...

Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Not a single word can reach the Madam...

The eunuch rode back to the palace at full speed.

Yu Rong appeared out of nowhere and scared Liu Hui.

"Next time, just make a sound. It's okay if you scare me, but if you scare the lady, you'll be in trouble."

Yu Rong didn't take it too seriously, just staring at the direction the eunuch was walking in a trance. "Tell me, what's our master thinking? What's the big deal about messing with a eunuch? If he had listened to me last night, he should have put that Li Junji in a sack, hung him up, beat him up, and thrown him into the princess's mansion."

He spoke eloquently, but Liu Hui felt something was not right the more he listened. He asked in confusion, "Do you have a grudge against the Li family?"

Yu Rong shook his head.

"Then why did you hit him? Li Junji is an official appointed by the court and a relative of the emperor. He's not someone you can just hit whenever you want."

Liu Hui thought that after saying this, the wooden block would finally understand, but unexpectedly, Yu Rong became suspicious, "Don't you want to vent your anger?"

Liu Hui was surprised, "What are you angry about?"

Yu Rong looked around, leaned in closer and whispered, "Don't keep us in suspense. That night, Li Zhan, despite his injuries, chased out of the city for my wife. We all saw it with our own eyes. Although I didn't say anything, I'm sure I wasn't in a good mood. This brat from the Li family dared to covet my wife. How dare he teach his father a lesson?"

Liu Hui listened to his theory in astonishment, and really wanted to pry open his head to see what was inside!

He distanced himself from him with a look of disdain. "You little bastard from the Li family, Yu Rong, putting aside how badly you think of our master, just based on your tone, I advise you to stay away from that Zhou family member in the dark prison!"

This is not a guard beside me, he is a bandit!

Yu Rong, perhaps sensing his disdain, scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "Since I saw that Master hadn't interfered with the princess's schemes and refused to enter the palace today, I thought Master was holding a grudge against the Li family." He nudged Liu Hui's arm as he spoke. "Please don't tell Master this."

Liu Hui didn't bother to talk to him. He had something to ask the man in the cellar earlier, "I asked you to pry him open. Did he confess? Is the secret passage into Shu still usable?"

Talking about business, Yu Rong put away his smile and said seriously, "I pried it open, but half of his tongue was bitten off. He can only shake his head or nod. I will have to know the truth when I get there."

Liu Hui fell silent after hearing this.

Yu Rong was just about to ask Duan Wenpei if he had any other instructions when he saw someone at the gate running in hurriedly with a letter.

Liu Hui called him, "What's the urgent matter?" There is a special person responsible for delivering the master's letters, and this one is most likely for the lady.

The man stopped and hesitated whether he should say it.

Liu Hui had already walked down the stairs and walked over. "Although the madam is out, Chunya is still in the mansion. If you want to send it to Jingyuan, I can take it in."

Seeing that Liu Hui had spoken, the man hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand with a look of respect, "I am very grateful to you, Manager Liu, for taking it with you. However, you must do it as soon as possible. The messenger is still waiting for Madam's reply outside our door."

So urgent?

Liu Hui took it and looked at it. When he saw the Li family's signature on it, his eyelids twitched.

This is too small...

Duan Wenpei read the letter quickly and calmly placed it on the table.

"Send a message to the people in the Li Mansion, saying that Madam is waiting for Madam Li in Tianxiang Tower."

Liu Hui nodded as he was told and looked at the letter again. "Should I send someone to deliver this to Madam?"

Duan Wenpei shook his head. "No, tell them to keep their mouths shut. Don't let any of this get to Madam."

Liu Hui nodded quickly.

He understood that this meant not letting the lady know, and it looked like not only was he not going to let the lady know, he was also planning to go see Madam Li himself.

"That palace..."

Duan Wenpei walked out calmly, "I can go back to the palace after I come back from Tianxiang Tower."

Nan Xu, who was talking to Yin Ruizhu far away in Yin's house, sneezed several times for no reason.

She thought to herself, how strange! Could it be that someone was thinking of her?
