Chapter 188: Is the Commander Jealous?
This was the second time Lu Xingyao saw this sachet on Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng noticed his gaze and said softly, "Young Master, please follow me."
Lu Xingyao nodded and followed.
The two of them came to the room where Lu Xingyue was. Not far away, behind a stone pillar, Fu Qingyin was stroking his ring with a smile on his face.
Hao Mengye whispered: "Commander, can the princess convince Lu Xingyao? The Lu family cherishes this fifth lady very much. After all, she..."
"She is the future Princess Yi," Fu Qingyin said coldly, "The Lu family judged the situation and said that she was a noble scholar, but they just used different means."
Hao Mengye nodded: "Then the princess may not be able to let her stay. Although Lu Xingyao is young, I heard from the people in the Ministry of Households that he is very difficult to deal with and always follows the rules."
Fu Qingyin snorted and laughed: "I hope he can persist this time."
Hao Mengye was puzzled: "???"
Fu Qingyin glanced at him and said, "What's the benefit of keeping Lu Xingyue here? Can she be used as bait, or can she help in any way? She will only cause trouble."
Hao Mengye was even more puzzled: "Then why did you ask the princess to talk to Lu Xingyao?"
Fu Qingyin glanced at him again expressionlessly.
Hao Mengye immediately lowered his head and kept silent.
Although I still didn’t understand, I didn’t dare to say more.
When Lu Xingyue saw Lu Xingyao, she hid behind Yu Shengsheng without waiting for Lu Xingyao to speak.
"Sister, please save me. My brother is very fierce."
Lu Xingyao laughed angrily: "Princess Ruiyang is one year younger than you, and you call her sister? Aren't you ashamed?"
Lu Xingyue widened her eyes and looked at Yu Shengsheng again: "You...you are Yu Shengsheng?"
"Xingyue," Lu Xingyao reminded with a serious face.
Lu Xingyue grabbed Yu Shengsheng and said, "Oh my God, I finally saw a living person. I've heard of you before."
Yu Shengsheng was a little embarrassed. Heard of her? It was nothing more than a bad reputation.
"What is the countryside like? Isn't it interesting? I admire you for being able to come to the capital by yourself."
Yu Shengsheng: “???”
"I heard that you can ride and shoot. Su Zhiyi, she has been on the battlefield before, but she fainted and broke her leg after being startled by the horse. It's really interesting. Why is she so fragile?"
"Xingyue!" Lu Xingyao raised his voice.
Lu Xingyue pouted and lowered her voice, but still said, "I heard that you were asked to learn the rules. It must be very hard, right?"
Yu Shengsheng was shocked - no one has ever asked her, it must be very hard?
"I'm not in good health, and my mother asked me to learn the rules. I'm exhausted. They said that you must have suffered more if you were taken away for making mistakes."
Yu Shengsheng's throat rolled slightly, and before she could speak, Lu Xingyue said again: "You know what? You are my role model. I left home this time because I want to be like you!"
"You can come to the capital from the countryside, and I can go somewhere else from the capital."
Yu Shengsheng felt a little guilty for some reason. She caught a glimpse of Lu Xingyao's ugly face from the corner of her eye and quickly stopped him.
"No, Miss Lu..."
"Why call me Miss Lu? Just call me sister. Aren't you younger than me? I've never been anyone's sister. Call me sister now."
Yu Shengsheng didn't know what to say for a moment. Among the Lu family siblings, apart from Lu Xingyao, how come these two...
"Don't mess around, Xingyue," Lu Xingyao pinched his brows, "You ran away from home this time and almost caused a disaster. If the commander's men hadn't passed by, what would have happened to you? Do you know?"
Lu Xingyue was a little depressed: "Brother, I know I was wrong, but I feel that I can't leave now. I want to lure the snake out of its hole. Shengsheng will protect me, right?"
Lu Xingyao was so angry: "What kind of snake did you attract?"
Lu Xingyue was about to retort, but Yu Shengsheng held her arm down and said, "Master, don't worry. The promise I made to you outside just now still counts. Miss Lu is here. Apart from you and a few other masters in the mansion, no one else knows about it, right?"
Lu Xingyao remained silent. He really didn't know. Being in Zhenqiao Tower, even if he was rescued by someone, it was not a good thing and he couldn't let it be spread.
Not to mention the servants, no one except him, his father, grandfather, and even his mother knew about this.
Just wait until we bring the person back, and then we can give you another reason.
Yu Shengsheng knew from his expression that she had guessed correctly, and continued, "Master, Miss Lu has returned to the mansion. You can certainly continue to cooperate, but the atmosphere in the mansion is not right. Miss Lu told me that she was arrested not long after she left."
"Anything that's too coincidental is man-made. I suggest you go back and find out the situation in the mansion first."
Lu Xingyao immediately understood what she meant: "You mean... there is a traitor?"
Yu Shengsheng nodded.
Lu Xingyue took the opportunity to say, "Brother, I feel it's safer here. I finally got out. Please let me stay here for a few days."
She held Yu Shengsheng tightly, and Yu Shengsheng looked at Lu Xingyao.
Lu Xingyao thought for a moment and asked, "Does the princess also like to make perfumes?"
Yu Shengsheng didn't know how the topic turned to this, so she said truthfully: "I can't say I like it that much, I just understand a little bit."
The queen loves perfume, but does not trust the Imperial Household Department. There is a perfumer in the villa who is very old, has a strange temper, and has poor eyesight. Making perfume is an elegant thing, but the preparation, grinding and production of spices behind it are all hard work, and Yu Shengsheng has done a lot of it.
Lu Xingyao nodded: "Well, let Xingyue stay here for a while."
"Please lead the way, Princess. I will go and tell the commander."
Fu Qingyin was interrogating Xianglan. He was in a bad mood and his face looked bad.
When Lu Xingyao came over, he was sitting on a chair, touching his forehead without even lifting his eyelids.
"What? You want to take your sister away?"
"Lu wants me to stay here temporarily. Commander, please be flexible."
Fu Qingyin paused and glanced at him: "Is my Zhenqiao Tower the place where your Lu family takes care of the children?"
Lu Xingyao smiled lightly: "Of course not, I came here this time with a small gift, and I don't want to let the commander worry in vain."
He waved his hand, and his confidant came up with a small box behind him: "This is part of it, the rest is in the box and will be handed over to the commander-in-chief later."
Fu Qingyin glanced at Yu Shengsheng, then at Lu Xingyao: "Little Master Lu really surprised me. I thought you would look down on this place and insist on taking Miss Lu away."
"The commander-in-chief is responsible for eliminating traitors for the country and flatterers for the court. I am just a small minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I should look up to him."
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyebrows slightly. Lu Xingyao was really good at talking, much better than Lu Xingzhan.
Fu Qingyin laughed briefly and hooked his finger lightly. The Red Dragon Guard stepped forward and took the small box.
"Go back and tell the old Prime Minister that I am doing this for his sake."
"Of course," Lu Xingyao bowed, "Goodbye."
He turned and led his men away.
Yu Shengsheng turned around and was about to leave when Fu Qingyin's cold voice came from behind her.
"What? You still need to see me off?"
