Chapter 132: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (9)

The West Garden of the Princess's Mansion.

Xun Ji opened the carved wooden door of the bedroom, and through the blindfold, he saw more than a dozen mahogany boxes of different sizes placed outside.

Azhuo and the servants waited quietly by the side.

"Master, be careful. The yard is full of boxes now." Azhu stepped forward and supported him at the right time.

"Box?" Xun Ji pretended to be confused.

The servant replied respectfully, "Your Highness has ordered me to send you the ready-made clothes, crowns, and ornaments."

"His Highness said that time is of the essence this time, so we can only purchase ready-made clothes based on the size of the Prince Consort's wedding dress. If you don't like it, you can go to a cloth shop to have it custom-made."

Obviously having been reminded, the servant's attitude was much better than before, with a flattering smile on his face:

"If you have no further instructions, my Lord, I will take my leave."

Xun Ji nodded blankly, looking immersed in shock.

But after the courtyard gate was closed, he returned to his usual laziness with a slight frown on his face.

Yuanlu Tea, what is going on again?

"This, isn't this the Suhui brocade from Jinxiu Pavilion?!" Azhu looked at the clothes on the top layer of the box in surprise.

The silvery-white fabric, illuminated by the warm sun, shimmered with elegant ripples.

"I heard that a set of clothes made of Suhui brocade sold for five hundred taels, but this box is full of..."

Azhuo opened several other boxes in a complicated manner.

From being stunned to having his pupils dilated, he slowly turned his head and made a bold guess:

"Master, could it be that the princess wants to kill you tonight? Is that why she spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy you these things?"

"Let you enjoy yourself before you die."

Xun Ji tore off the strip of cloth and glanced at him coldly.

Ah Zhuo was about to shut up when he suddenly caught sight of the wound on Xun Ji's lip and the red mark on his jawline. He asked worriedly,

"Master, what's wrong with your face?"

"There's a hint of fatigue between your brows. Could it be that you didn't get enough rest?"

Xun Ji froze, his eyes gloomy.

He was upset all night yesterday and fell into a drowsy sleep at dawn, but he kept having nightmares.

There was a poisonous snake with curved eyebrows and eyes, biting his lips and wouldn't let go, and he couldn't kill it no matter how hard he tried!

Xun Ji remained silent, turned sideways to avoid Azhu's sight, looked around at the boxes, and curled his fingertips slightly.

It is undeniable that even if it was just a wooden hairpin sent by Yuan Lu Cha, it was made of the best black gold rosewood.

Given her personality, if she were reborn, she would definitely throw herself into the dungeon and torture her.

Not to mention sending gifts, he would not even speak out to protect her or contradict her most respected royal brother in the imperial study that day.

But if she hadn't been reborn, why was she doing all this now?

Xun Ji felt as if he was surrounded by a white fog and could not see the woman standing at the end of the road.

The pretty little face appeared in his mind, and Xun Ji irritably waved his sleeves and went back to the bedroom.

Azhuo was left there, confused.

Master, your ears seem to be red?

-

Five days later.

Lu Cha, who had almost traveled all over the capital, finally remembered that there was a little villain in the mansion.

Just as he was about to go to the West Garden to take a look, Nanny Li came running with a strange woman.

"Your Highness, this is Shui Yu, the personal maid of Luo Jinshuang, the second daughter of the Shangshu Mansion."

"He said he came here to ask for your help on the orders of Miss Luo."

As soon as Nanny Li finished speaking, Shui Yu fell to her knees and said, "Your Highness! Please save my young lady! She's almost been beaten to death by the master!"

“?!”

Lu Cha immediately asked Lingying to prepare the car.

She had been busy having fun these days and had forgotten about this matter.

The Ministry of Revenue, which was responsible for the selection of concubines, originally recorded the name of the Shangshu's legitimate daughter on the list, not Luo Jinshuang.

But the legitimate daughter was unwilling to enter the palace, so she deliberately framed Luo Jinshuang for theft, and used this incident to deceive the Shangshu, who sent Luo Jinshuang to the palace to be trained by the maids, indirectly assisting the male and female protagonists.

Lu Cha silently clenched his fists and said seriously:

The little heroine can only be me!

-

The main hall of the Shangshu Mansion.

Luo Shangshu, who is over fifty years old, rubbed his old waist with a grimace.

The girl standing next to him had a gentle face and swollen cheeks. She was the Shangshu's legitimate daughter - Luo Zelan.

She glared at Luo Jinshuang opposite her with resentment, but pretended to be sincere:

"Sister, it's fine if you hit me, but how could you hit Daddy? This is unfilial!"

"I know you're upset that Daddy used the cane to beat you, but you stole my jade pendant first and then refused to admit it, which is why Daddy was so angry that he had to enforce the family law."

Luo Jinshuang clenched her fists and was about to retort when a soft and lazy voice came:

"It's quite lively at Minister Luo's house."

Seeing Lingying pushing Lu Cha, the people in the hall hurriedly saluted.

Minister Luo's face was filled with flattery: "Why didn't you inform me that Your Highness had arrived? I didn't even have time to go outside the palace to greet you."

"Just passing by." Lu Cha glanced at Luo Jinshuang's back. Her clothes were soaked in blood, which was enough to prove how serious the wound inside was.

"What's the matter?"

"My little girl is disobedient, so I have to teach her a lesson."

"It was clearly Luo Zelan who framed me! My father loved her so much that he convicted me without even investigating!" Luo Jinshuang was so angry that her eyes turned red.

She has been working as a bodyguard in modern times for several years. Because she is a girl, she has been questioned and targeted many times and is tired of fighting.

Coming to this strange world, I just want to do something I like and make enough money to live a simple life.

As a result, Luo Zelan provoked him time and again, and the Shangshu doted on him too much and could not distinguish right from wrong at all!

Just when Luo Jinshuang was feeling indignant, a gentle touch held her hand.

Lu Cha winked at her, then turned his head and glanced at Minister Luo:

"Do you think someone from this palace would steal a broken jade pendant?"

Luo Shangshu & Luo Zelan: “?”

When did this concubine's daughter get to know the eldest princess?

It was Minister Luo who first recovered and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, are you and my daughter..."

"Friend." Lu Cha smiled: "I like Jin Shuang very much."

Minister Luo was startled, and he understood almost instantly. He turned around and slapped Luo Zelan, saying angrily:

"Asshole! How could you wrongly accuse your sister?!"

Luo Zelan widened his eyes in disbelief.

Dad, that’s not what you said just now!

When Minister Luo turned around and was about to talk to Lu Cha to save his attitude towards Luo Jinshuang, he was pushed away by Lingying.

He took Luo Jinshuang with him and left without looking back.
