Chapter 230: The Irritable Queen Mother vs. the Cold Imperial Master (13)

Seeing that the person coming was General Jiang, Jiang Lianxue burst into tears:

"Dad! Jiang, the Queen Mother wants to kill me!"

In front of General Jiang, the old nanny slapped Jiang Lianxue and said, "Don't slander the Queen Mother!"

Jiang Lianxue cried even louder.

General Jiang was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened. He glared at Lu Cha: "Rebellious girl! Are you crazy?! Hurry up and tell those slaves to let Xue'er go!"

His precious daughter! She was beaten into a pig's head!

Finding that Lu Cha was indifferent, General Jiang immediately ordered the servants in the mansion to go and rescue him.

But Lucha had too many people and they couldn't get close at all.

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.

It was Lu Cha who raised her hand and signaled the palace maid to let go of Jiang Lianxue.

"Quick! Send the young lady to treat her wound!"

General Jiang watched with distress as the maidservant helped Jiang Lianxue away. After turning around and facing Lu Cha, a hideous and twisted expression appeared on her face:

"Did you beat your sister to death?!"

Lucha said seriously:

"My sister doesn't know etiquette. She will be laughed at if she goes out. If she meets someone with a bad temper, she might even hit him. I am helping her."

General Jiang laughed angrily: "Then why haven't you attended court these past few days?!"

Just because this rebellious girl didn't attend the morning court, Chu Yixiao found the opportunity and removed several of his followers!

If this continues, Chu Yixiao will sooner or later take back the power in the court!

"I can't get up."

Lucha is justified.

She is not in good health and needs more rest!

Seeing that Lu Cha was still in the mood to eat candied fruit, General Jiang wanted to rush over and slap that smiling little face to pieces.

Fortunately, I still have some sanity.

After taking a look at the huge crowd of eunuchs and palace maids standing around, General Jiang did not want to humiliate himself and ordered his servants to take action.

He took a moment to calm down his anger before speaking again in a firm tone:

"As long as you rescue Qian Huairen and help him regain his position as the Minister of Revenue, I won't bother with you about what happened today!"

"Otherwise, you, as the Queen Mother, will not be able to live in peace!"

Lu Cha's eyes were dim: "Ai Jia, I really don't like the way you speak."

Before General Jiang could react, he was pinned to the ground by several eunuchs.

The servants of the Jiang Mansion wanted to go forward to help, but were stopped by the palace maids.

Lu Cha glanced at the old nanny:

superior!

Beat him up!

The old lady hesitated.

This is the current Grand Marshal!

"I am the Queen Mother."

Pah! The old nanny slapped Commandant Jiang in the face.

It was the first time that he was slapped in public by someone, a lowly maid. General Jiang almost fainted from anger.

"Jiang Lucha, I am your father!!!"

The old nanny skillfully slapped him again: "Master Taiwei, please be mindful of how you address yourself."

Lu Cha said earnestly: "I am doing this for your own good."

"If neither father nor daughter know etiquette, not only will they be criticized and accused of being uneducated, they could also be beaten to death."

I just like the way you can't stand me but can't kill me, hehe~

Looking at Lu Cha's bright smile, General Jiang's eyes were blazing with anger. He was so angry that he fainted.

The old nanny stopped her hand in mid-air, unsure whether to let it fall. "Empress Dowager, do you think I'll continue to hit you?"

"Return to the palace."

Lu Cha stretched and stood up, and did not forget to ask Jin Yu to go to the woodshed to get back the original owner's things.

Although she was also the daughter of a general, the original owner could only live in a woodshed, with only a wooden hairpin as jewelry. Even the few pieces of clothes that were washed white were picked up from those that Jiang Lianxue didn't want.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Lu Cha's eyes, and before leaving, he kicked the unconscious General Jiang.

That’s enough activity for today!

-

Because he was bringing too many people, in order to avoid attracting onlookers, Lu Cha returned to the palace via a remote path.

Noticing that the carriage suddenly stopped, Lu Cha lifted the curtain in confusion.

Not far away, a man was wearing a coarse linen shirt, but it still did not affect his handsome appearance. If you didn't look at his clothes, you would probably think he was a refined young man from some family.

Jin Yu reported in a low voice: "Empress Dowager, this is the new number one scholar and newly appointed Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Yuanfan."

"He said he wanted to tell you something."

Lu Cha nodded slightly and signaled Jin Yu to bring the person over.

thump--!

Li Yuanfan knelt on the ground, his back straight, and bowed:

"Your servant, Li Yuanfan, would like to thank the Empress Dowager for exposing Qian Huairen's crimes in court a few days ago."

He could have been the top scorer in the imperial examination, but because of Qian Huairen's interference and the other young masters of noble families bribing the examiners to cheat, he only got the third place.

I thought I would just swallow my anger and accept this injustice, but unexpectedly, Qian Huairen was thoroughly investigated by the emperor, and other people who committed favoritism and fraud were also exposed. Unexpectedly, he regained the honor he deserved.

"I have no intention of disturbing the Queen Mother. I simply wish to express my gratitude for allowing a humble child like me to receive justice."

He did not believe the rumors about the Queen Mother.

After all, seeing is believing, hearing is not.

Lu Cha raised her eyebrows slightly and signaled Li Yuanfan to stand up.

Li Yuanfan was treated like this by those officials because his family fell into poverty, but he was a good person and valued friendship and loyalty.

Chu Yixiao has not yet won over Li Yuanfan.

The same was true for General Jiang, which was why he wanted her to rescue Qian Huairen who was imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

Lu Cha smiled cunningly.

It seems like I’ve found the tool!

"Are you willing to help me?"

Li Yuanfan was stunned.

He naturally understood what Lu Cha meant, but to be so blunt in trying to win him over on their first meeting...

Before Li Yuanfan could come to his senses, Lu Cha had already asked Jin Yu to take off the badge and stuffed it into his hand.

"Don't employ those you doubt, and don't doubt those you employ. I'll give you time to think about it."

"When you have thought it through, come to the palace and find me."

Li Yuanfan was still in a daze until the carriage drove away.

He looked at the badge in his hand, which represented the empress dowager, with a complicated expression.

Queen Mother, aren't you afraid that he will use the badge to do something bad?

-

Night falls.

When Lu Cha returned to the Cining Palace, he dismissed everyone, lay comfortably on the bed, and fell asleep.

When she woke up again, she had arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion and turned back into a little fox.

Finding that there was no one in the study and the doors and windows were closed, Lu Cha slipped out curiously.

Zhuo Xuan and the servants who used to guard the courtyard were now nowhere to be seen.

The little villain was killed by his enemies?

Lu Cha was about to go to the bedroom to check, but he vaguely heard the sound of water coming from afar.

She curiously went around to the back of the study.

There is a hot spring in the emerald green bamboo forest.

When she saw the man leaning against the hot spring with his back to her, Lu Cha immediately clenched her little paws.

Oh no!

The little villain without clothes!
