Chapter 24: Give Her Ten Slaps
Lu Shengsheng pursed her lips and said nothing.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's that she can't say it.
The time has not come yet, and not a single word can be revealed about Qi Mubai.
The Su family is powerful, and she doesn't dare to take the risk in case Qi Mubai is in danger.
Seeing her silence, Su Yanshu thought she agreed.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was relieved.
At least he’s not the third son of the Lu family.
As long as it's still under his control.
Su Yanshu's tone softened a little. He slowly loosened his hand and picked up the page of paper.
"Shengsheng, you are second brother's biological sister. Honestly, how has second brother treated you in the two years since you returned home?"
"This marriage is also for your own good. Prince Nanshun dominates a region, and the Crown Prince is his only legitimate son. If you become his Crown Prince's Consort, when he inherits the title in the future, you will be the Crown Princess. Isn't that better than Shen Zhiyuan?"
Yu Shengsheng raised her eyes, not looking at him, but staring at the piece of paper in his hand, watching him crumple the paper into a ball little by little, and the word "Lan" on it also twisted and disappeared.
"With such a good marriage, why don't you let Su Zhiyi marry? With the Second Young Master's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to ask the Crown Prince to change her marriage."
There was a hint of sarcasm in her tone, like a needle as thin as an ox hair, yet sharp and incisive.
Su Yanshu chuckled and brought the paper ball close to the candle. The flame suddenly lit up and then turned to ashes.
He did not respond to Yu Yusheng's words, but instead said in a commanding tone: "The day after tomorrow I will hold a lotus viewing banquet, and all the noble ladies and gentlemen in the capital will attend. At that time, I will announce your marriage to the public."
"Don't you like beautiful clothes? Tomorrow I will ask Jinluoge to measure your body. You can pick out a few that you like. I will buy them for you no matter how expensive they are. You must dress up beautifully the day after tomorrow."
Yu Shengsheng's heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer: "The day after tomorrow?"
Su Yanshu patted her head gently and said, "You don't have enough people around you. Let Mrs. Wu come over the day after tomorrow to help you dress up."
Su Yanshu's words were calm but sharp, just like a brother who loves his sister so much that he worries about her and thinks about everything carefully.
If it weren’t for the disaster this year, Yu Shengsheng would really think so.
Yu Shengsheng was still in shock until Su Yanshu left.
When Nanny Zhou entered the room, she saw her with a pale face, sitting alone at the table, holding a brush tightly in her hand, which had been broken into two.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Yu Shengsheng came back to his senses, took a few deep breaths, looked at the broken pen in his hand, and the support in his heart seemed to be broken as well.
She thought there was less than a month left, and she would try every possible means to delay it. But now, it will be announced the day after tomorrow, and Su Yanshu doesn't even give her a single moment of time.
Jin Baobao came in after cleaning the bathroom and was shocked to see Yu Shengsheng's appearance.
"Miss, what's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll beat him up!"
Yu Shengsheng said nothing. Jin Baobao saw the letter paper and the dripping ink and said, "Miss, do you want to write a letter? Write it and I'll deliver it to you."
A glimmer of light flashed in Yu Shengsheng's eyes. Can it still be sent out? I'm afraid that after what happened just now, Su Yanshu will send people to guard it strictly.
"Don't worry, miss. I can do it," Jin Baobao patted his chest confidently.
She took another pen and stuffed it into Yu Shengsheng's hand without any explanation.
"Miss, write quickly!"
…
The next morning, Su Yanshu wrote the invitation and gave it to the servant to deliver.
As soon as the guests arrive tomorrow, he will deliberately leak some news. The guests are all smart people, so he doesn't need to say anything. Shengsheng's marriage to Kong Dezhao is 80% certain.
By the time Kong Dezhao arrived in Beijing, public opinion had already been formed, and he would not disagree. First, it was the emperor's opinion, and second... because of Yu Shengsheng's stunning face.
The servant took the invitations and saw one of them. He was a little surprised: "Sir, why are you sending it to the Lu family? The Third Young Master Lu just had a conflict with the Major General. This..."
"That's why I want to send him. My elder brother was once detained because of him, but I let bygones be bygones. If he doesn't come, it means he has no tolerance."
The servant muttered, "In my opinion, Lu Sancai doesn't care about his reputation, so I guess he won't come."
"Let him."
It doesn’t matter if you don’t come, it’s even better if you come.
Let Lu San hear the news with his own ears. No matter whether he has feelings for Sheng Sheng or not, he should cut them off as soon as possible.
He had to ask a servant to deliver the post, and he had to go to the Eastern Palace in person and invite the Crown Prince to come, so that the news he spread would be more credible.
"Tell the people in the mansion to watch over Miss Dian Sheng's yard and not allow her to leave the mansion."
"Don't worry, Second Young Master. After you gave the order last night, we have already arranged for someone to watch over it."
Only then did Su Yanshu feel at ease to leave the house and go to the Eastern Palace.
Yu Shengsheng brought herself more breakfast, so that she could keep her body healthy. If she really wanted to run one day, she had to be in good health.
"Miss," Madam Zhou came into the room and replied in a low voice, "There are people guarding outside the yard."
Yu Shengsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, but Jin Baobao didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, Miss. Even if they are guarding, I can still deliver the letter."
What a joke! Even if she couldn't get out, the chief would send someone to see her.
Besides, those few people are nothing in her eyes.
"Be careful. If you can't get out, don't force it. Protect yourself first." Yu Shengsheng warned.
Jin Baobao was stunned - save yourself first?
Shouldn’t the mission be more important than anything else?
Jin Baobao's heart suddenly felt swollen and warm.
He patted the letter hidden in his secret pocket and nodded solemnly: "I'll remember it."
Jin Baobao took the food box and plate and went out of the yard. The people guarding the gate didn't take her seriously at all.
After sending the things to the kitchen, Jin Baobao turned around and did not go to the front door, but went directly to the side door where the shopping boy went.
There happened to be a carriage going out to buy groceries, and there was no one around. She crawled under the carriage, stuck close to it, and successfully left the house.
Jin Baobao smiled slyly: What a bunch of idiots.
The carriage turned out of the intersection and onto the road. While there were not many people around, Jin Baobao landed gently on the ground, crawled out from under the carriage, dusted himself off, and quickly went to the delivery location.
Not long after she left, Ru Jian tilted his head slightly in front of a roadside peddler's stall, watching her leaving back and sneering silently.
The princess guessed correctly. What was the point of the second young master sending two servants to guard that bitch's yard? The key lies in this damn maid.
Ru Jian lowered his hat and quickly followed.
This time, she wants to catch Jin Baobao and cut off her hand to avenge the slap!
The golden leopard walked and strolled, moving back and forth on the street.
He went to the stall selling bronze mirrors and picked up one with great interest: "How much is this one?"
The bronze mirror reflects the Confucian sword behind.
Jin Baobao sneered, "Why are you wearing a hat? Are you afraid that I can't see you?"
She put the bronze mirror down and said quickly and quietly, "Did you see the person wearing the bamboo hat? Stop her and slap her ten times in the face."
Golden Leopard was very happy. He bought a cup of ice cream and ate it while walking.
Now, we can deliver the letter to its real destination.
Seeing the inn from afar, Jin Baobao was about to go in when someone at the roadside herbal tea stand asked in a low voice, "It's hot, little girl, would you like a cup of herbal tea?"
Jin Baobao turned her head and saw Hao Mengye sitting at the table drinking herbal tea, motioning her to sit down with his eyes.
"What are you doing here?"
Jin Baobao whispered, "I'm here to deliver a letter to the young lady."
Hao Mengye didn't even raise his head: "What letter are you sending? Are you aware that someone is following you?"
