Chapter 274: Unexpected Accomplice
Cheng Zishan's answer made Yu Shengsheng's expression change slightly.
Seeing her expression change, Cheng Zishan was very satisfied.
"Why don't you pretend anymore? Are you finally scared? Yu Shengsheng, do you know that I hate the way you act like you don't care about anything the most?"
Cheng Zishan pinched her face hard.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't move and her face was pinched red.
"Why do you hate me so much? It doesn't seem to have started now."
"Of course," Cheng Zishan said bitterly, "I started to hate you since you came back home."
"Why? I had never offended you at that time, and I had never even met you."
"I heard that my aunt's biological daughter is back and wants to come see you," Cheng Zishan let go of her hand and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief, "but my mother said that she is a lowly creature and there is nothing good about her."
"I still couldn't help myself. I once secretly watched, following the Su family's carriage, and saw Su Dingqin and Su Yanshu taking you for a stroll."
"You are so stupid, you smile so foolishly," Cheng Zishan's voice suddenly became harsh, "but you have a face like a fox."
"I was about to get married, and I had my eyes on a guy whom I liked very much. But when we met by chance on the street, he fell in love with you."
"The marriage proposal that was originally intended for me was cancelled. His family looked down on you because of your humble origins and did not agree. He missed you day and night and soon fell seriously ill and passed away."
"Why wasn't it you who died?"
Yu Shengsheng was stunned. How could such a thing happen? She had never known about it.
"Also, Kong Dezhao, the Crown Prince's Consort, why should it be your turn? But he protects you so much, and yet you look down on him."
"Why do you look down on me?"
"And the guy from Zhenqiao Tower, he actually protects you too, Yu Shengsheng, are you very proud?"
Yu Shengsheng was totally confused.
Cheng Zishan stared at her for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing again.
"You really believed it?" Cheng Zishan laughed crazily, "I'm kidding. You don't really think you're so charming, do you?"
"Okay, enough nonsense, let's say goodbye to the Su family."
Yu Shengsheng asked anxiously, "Where are you taking me?"
Cheng Zishan put a handkerchief over her mouth and said, "You will know soon."
She walked quickly into the yard and clapped her hands three times at the door.
Soon, a figure walked out from the darkness, came to the door, and knocked three times.
After the secret code was matched, Cheng Zishan opened the gate and led people into the house.
Yu Shengsheng recognized him at a glance. This man was a groom of the Su family. His surname was Liu, but his full name was unknown. It was said that he was the fourth child in the family, and everyone called him Liu Laosi.
When Jin Baobao went out in a carriage, she often passed this person's hand. She mentioned that Liu Laosi was a taciturn man, like a gourd with its mouth sawed off.
Who would have thought that this gourd would be in cahoots with Cheng Zishan tonight.
Cheng Zishan took out a mask and put it on Yu Shengsheng's face. She then took out a badge from the grid under the bookshelf and put it in her arms.
"Carry her away and prepare the carriage." Cheng Zishan ordered.
Liu Laosi nodded and came over to carry Yu Shengsheng.
The three of them quickly disappeared into the yard.
On the treetop next to the wing room, Fu Qingyin's face was as gloomy as water. Just as he was about to get up and chase, Lu Hu came quietly stepping on the branches.
"Commander, wait a minute." Lu Hu said in a deep voice, "The lady has instructed that no matter what happens, do not act rashly."
"What?" Fu Qingyin's eyes were sharp. "She's been taken away. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Green Lake lowered her eyes: "That's what the lady ordered. She said that no matter what happens, including her being caught."
Fu Qingyin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Really?"
Lu Hu nodded: "I dare not speak nonsense."
"Baobao was there at the time. She is also among the flowers in the yard now. You see, she didn't stop us."
Jin Baobao didn't stop it, but he was almost dying of anxiety.
She also didn't expect that what Yu Shengsheng said, "No matter what the situation, even if she is arrested," actually came true.
She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't panic. She followed Yu Shengsheng's instructions and secretly followed behind, sprinkling perfume powder as she walked.
Her heart was beating fast as she looked at the carriage in front of her, afraid that she would lose it.
Fortunately, it was late at night, and the carriage was afraid of encountering patrolling curfew guards, so it chose to go through quiet side streets and did not go fast.
Yu Shengsheng was in the carriage, not moving a muscle to persuade them. Cheng Zishan was sitting opposite her with a cold look in her eyes.
Suddenly the carriage slowed down and Cheng Zishan became a little nervous.
"What's wrong?"
Before the driver could answer, someone outside suddenly asked, "Excuse me, whose carriage is this?"
When Yu Shengsheng heard the voice, isn’t this... Lu Xingyao?
Why is he here?
Cheng Zishan whispered to Yu Shengsheng: "If you dare to make a sound, I will kill you right now."
"Oh, I forgot. You can't make any sound. Don't expect anyone to save you."
"Tonight, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save you."
Cheng Zishan said softly, straightened her collar and sleeves, and went to the door to lift the curtain.
She just blocked Yu Shengsheng behind her tightly.
Yu Shengsheng couldn't see Lu Xingyao, but she could hear his voice very clearly.
Cheng Zishan smiled and said, "It's me."
Lu Xingyao really knew her: "Miss Cheng? No, Madam Second Young Master, where are you going so late? This is not the way back to the Su Mansion."
"Mr. Lu, you don't know, but my grandmother is seriously ill and has nightmares all the time. She hasn't gotten better after taking medicine. Today, I asked a master from the temple to see her. He said that we can find someone who has a connection with Buddha, walk around the Su Mansion a few times, and burn some incense to relieve her."
As Cheng Zishan spoke, she took out two incense sticks from the car.
"Look, I just finished one and was about to order a new one."
Yu Shengsheng was secretly surprised that Cheng Zishan was so well prepared. It seemed that this was not the first time she had done such a thing.
Lu Xingyao nodded.
Cheng Zishan asked, "I wonder why Master Lu is here so late at night? Please don't tell anyone. I can't help it."
Lu Xingyao said calmly: "The Ministry of Revenue is busy, so it's late."
He turned aside and said, "Please."
"Thank you." Cheng Zishan told the driver, "Let's go."
The curtain was lowered and the carriage slowly drove away.
Lu Xingyao looked at the direction the carriage was going, and the servant beside him whispered, "Sir, it's getting late, let's go back home."
Lu Xingyao turned his horse around and quickly ordered in a low voice: "Go to Zhenqiao Tower and say that you found a carriage that looks strange."
The servant quickly asked, "Sir, what about you?"
"I'll chase after him and take a look," Lu Xingyao patted the sachet beside him, "Do you remember the smell of Wen Lianxiang? Follow this smell and find him."
Having said that, he picked up the reins and chased after him.
The servant was afraid and anxious, but he dared not disobey the order, so he gritted his teeth and hurried to report the news.
Lu Xingyao is good at making incense and is proficient in it. Except for a few people in the Lu family and Concubine Shu, no one else knows it.
The reason why the carriage was stopped just now was not because it was running during curfew, but because of the fragrance wafting from the carriage.
