Lu Xiaoyun understood. During these past few days at the Prince An's residence, she hadn't always locked herself in her study. Occasionally, she would call Jiang Chuan over to try and get some information out of him.
As for Jiang Chuan, he learned a lot from that "psychology" book and finally understood why the "prince" had changed so much after waking up.
Lu Xiaoyun didn't have to put in much effort; he just said whatever came to mind.
Combining this with Yuan Xiu's words, and putting them together, I understood the general idea.
After being sent out of the palace by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, it is unlikely that Consort Duan will ever be able to return to the palace in her lifetime.
Lu Xiaoyun waved her hand, and Yuan Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked away, his legs feeling weak.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chuan was engrossed in reading the book on psychology.
The more he looked at it, the more sinister it seemed. He could somewhat understand that people's personalities would change drastically after experiencing great ups and downs.
But how did the prince become a homosexual? He gave up too soon; he couldn't possibly be gay.
This "psychology" doesn't explain this.
Also, Lu Xiaoyun seems to have changed as well. Could it be that the two of them are changing in opposite directions?
As these opposite directions keep changing, could it be that even the orientation has changed?
Jiang Chuan scratched his head, thinking that he should find an opportunity to ask the princess whether she preferred men or women now.
He was starting to worry about Li Feng. This little girl was so naive and clueless. She might end up being taken advantage of by her mistress and end up thinking that her mistress considered her a good friend.
Jiang Chuan clenched his buttocks.
In Feixue Garden, Zhu Yu lay coldly on the bed, scoffing at Li Feng, who was beaming with surprise and exclaiming "Oh my god!" incessantly.
"My goodness, Miss, look, look! These clothes are so beautiful. And this hair ornament, and these earrings, and this headdress, wow, they're all so gorgeous. The Prince is so kind."
Zhu Yu rolled over to face inside, utterly ashamed to look. These were just some junk; how much could they possibly be worth? She and Jiang Chuan had bought them yesterday, and this girl had looked at them more than ten times already.
Isn't Lu Xiaoyun the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? Why does she only have such a small eyelid?
Oh!
"Miss, please get up and take a look. Jiang Chuan and I bought these yesterday. It cost a thousand taels of silver for just these few items."
"One thousand taels of silver?!" Zhu Yu turned around in disbelief.
Wow, a thousand taels of silver can buy five sets of clothes! That's quite something. Every single one of his clothes is worth a fortune.
The dress Lu Xiaoyun wore yesterday cost two thousand taels just for the gold embroidery.
I took his money to buy his clothes, and it turned out to be a set of clothes that cost two hundred taels, covering everything from top to bottom and inside out!
He's so angry!
There was so much silver in the chest in the study, yet she was only willing to spend a thousand taels on him!
"Yes, Your Highness, is that alright? Miss, your clothes have never cost more than ten taels before, and your jewelry and ornaments have cost at most twenty taels. When have you ever worn such expensive clothes?"
Zhu Yu's eyelids twitched. Which young lady from a noble family in Shengjing would wear such cheap clothes?
What kind of life did Lu Xiaoyun lead in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion?
Just as Li Feng was getting excited and Zhu Yu was lost in thought, three burly old women rushed in.
Upon seeing this, Li Feng panicked and immediately dropped the clothes she was holding, blocking Zhu Yu's bedside. Her face was pale as she asked, "What are you doing?"
One of the old women stiffened and said awkwardly, "Miss, you misunderstand. We are here on the orders of the Prince to take the Princess's measurements. The Prince said he would make thirty more sets of clothes for the Princess."
"Three, thirty bodies?" Li Feng could barely speak.
Zhu Yu snorted again. Very well, Lu Xiaoyun doesn't care at all when it comes to spending his money.
The old woman laughed and said, "Yes, not only the princess, but Miss Li, you also have ten."
"Ten, ten bodies? I, I'm just a little servant girl..." Li Feng's tongue was tied, and she didn't know what to do with her hands and feet.
She felt like she was dreaming until the three old women left with their measurements.
Feng Yan finally returned to the study in the front yard.
"Master," Feng Yan called out from outside the door.
"Come in."
Feng Yan pushed open the door and entered. Lu Xiaoyun asked, "How did things go?"
After yesterday's incident, Feng Yan no longer had any doubts about Lu Xiaoyun.
He replied, "Just as Master predicted, after our people leaked the information to Lian Yongyuan, Lian Yongyuan actually went to the mass grave last night and was caught on the spot by our people."
Lu Xiaoyun sneered. Lian Yongyuan was stupid and brainless. He got into the Ministry of Rites by spending some money and later got in touch with Li Quan, which is how he got to where he is today.
Although the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture was only a third-rank official, the Prefect of Shengjing, the capital city under the emperor's nose, was naturally not an ordinary prefectural governor. Li Quan had close ties with the Ministry of Personnel. Even Yongyuan himself couldn't establish connections with the Minister of Personnel, but perhaps he could do so through Li Quan.
He had his eye on the position of Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. If he wanted to advance further, he had to constantly curry favor with the Prefect of the Capital and rely on him to gradually move towards the center of power.
Therefore, after returning to her study from Feixue Garden yesterday, she immediately ordered a bodyguard to reveal this news to Lian Yongyuan.
When Lian Yongyuan found out, he naturally couldn't sit still. He guessed that besides stealing the corpse, there would be other plans. After all, there was nothing better than avenging Li Quan's killing of Sun.
But she never expected that Lian Yongyuan would deliver himself to her doorstep and even personally go to the mass grave to steal corpses.
