Chapter 52: Surprised or not? Happy or not unexpected
The only news that could be sent back to the mansion was from the steward who came directly to Lu Jinchuan in a panic. It sounded like there was quite a bit of trouble.
Lu Xinran's eyes widened instantly, and he wished he could look through the booklet right now and read the whole story from beginning to end.
Lu Jinchuan gave Pei a warning look, as if warning her not to cause him any more trouble.
Earl Zhongqin has been in the emperor's favor recently and has been promoted to the Ministry of Justice where he works.
He had never been able to understand the emperor's intentions and was undoubtedly very wary of Ma Jianbai, the loyal and diligent earl.
Thinking of the trouble that might arise later, he left in a hurry, regardless of the chaos in the house.
Lu Xinran's eyes were bright, and everyone knew that she wanted to see the excitement.
"Xinlan, you guys should also go over and take a look. If your grandfather can't handle the situation, you guys can help smooth things over."
Lu Xinlan responded steadily, with a solemn expression on his face, making it impossible to find any fault with the three of them.
The servants prepared the carriage, she bowed to Mrs. Pei, and drove straight to Zuichunlou with the "loudspeaker".
In the mansion, Pei had obtained Lu Jinchuan's consent, so naturally she had to sell off all the people who were not her confidants.
"Go and ask someone to call a thug."
Nanny Xu ran out in a hurry. She had been busy all day and it was already past noon. Since the masters hadn't eaten lunch yet, she naturally had no time to eat either.
But she would be happy even if she starved to death to see her master finally be able to hold his head high.
Aunt Wang and Aunt Jin were still paralyzed on the ground. Lu Jinchuan left in a hurry and had no time to take care of them. They only vaguely heard that something had happened.
As for what it was, neither of them thought about themselves while they were stunned.
The third girl, Lu Xintong, came out of the house and looked at Aunt Wang who was still lying on the ground, and kindly gave her a reminder.
"Just now the steward said that Third Uncle was drinking and had a fight with someone outside, and the person he beat was the legitimate child of an important official."
Aunt Wang’s eyes went dark and this time she almost fainted.
First, she lost the manpower she had painstakingly deployed in the mansion over the years, and now she heard that something had happened to her precious son.
She no longer cared about lying on the ground and pretending to be weak. She got up and ran quickly to Pei's side, then knelt down with a plop.
"Madam, I beg you to save Kang He. Kang He must have been framed."
Pei turned around and left in disgust: "Lu Jinchuan has already gone to Zuichunlou. Whether he is wrongly accused or not will be revealed when he arrives."
Lu Xinran looked at the scene outside the car window, his heart completely focused on Zuichunlou.
She thought about it carefully and realized that she had never seen this third master in the mansion before.
The day before, the Empress Dowager celebrated her birthday, but he was not eligible to attend because he was a concubine's son. She had returned to the Lu Mansion simply for the sake of her family, and no one had made a special trip to introduce her to the people in the mansion.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Pei was not very kind to the original body, but he did have some affection for her as an ancestor and granddaughter.
Hearing her thoughts, Lu Xinlan thought about the tricks used by her original body. She wanted to explain but didn't know how.
It's not like she didn't try to remind Lu Xinran tactfully that she was also transported here, and maybe they came to this time and space at the same time.
But every time I tried to open my mouth, it was as if I was cast under a spell of silence.
The same goes for handwriting. Her body is also constrained, and the pen seems to be extremely heavy, making it impossible for her to lift it.
However, regardless of whether she could let the other party know her identity, she occupied the body of the original person, and the things that the original person had done in the past were the sins that she wanted to work hard to atone for.
Until she can think of a better way to atone her sins, she will stay by her side as much as possible and do her best to protect her.
Lu Xinran complained a lot in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw her with her brows lowered, wondering what she was thinking.
The carriage stopped on the street. There was a great deal of noise in Cuichun Tower. The streets were completely blocked by people who came to watch the fun, making it impossible for the carriage to pass.
The two sisters got out of the car, each wearing a veil. There was a crowd of people in front of them. She calculated the distance and tiptoed to try to squeeze in.
I tried several times but was rejected each time.
As they were getting confused, the crowd suddenly parted in the middle, and a group of people riding tall horses came from the other end of the street.
The two sisters leaned sideways and looked up, and met Song Junyan's gaze which was full of confusion, speechlessness, headache, and all kinds of complicated and incomprehensible things.
Lu Xinran felt like he had just seen a fan chart!
As expected, it’s the male protagonist, the functions of his eyes are different from those of normal people.
Song Junyan: “…”
Accustomed to her strange remarks, he now just wanted to know what a fan diagram was.
Lu Xinlan pulled her and moved to Song Junyan and a group of officials from Shuntian Prefecture before the crowd gathered.
Not wanting to hear the ridiculous thoughts in her head, she quickly explained, "Your Highness will bring someone in to investigate the situation."
If they want to see the excitement, it is most convenient to follow each other.
Lu Xinran understood immediately and gave her a thumbs up, saying that she knew how to use people well and was very smart.
The fan-shaped diagram's eyes swept over again, and the two sisters watched with their eyes and noses, and shamelessly followed the group of people into Zuichunlou.
[So this is Chunlou, it looks really nice. ]
[No wonder those men like to come here, I like it too. ]
[If there are brothels, then there must also be prostitute houses. If you have the chance, you must go and have a look. You may find something shocking.]
Song Junyan and Lu Xinlan paused in unison, looked at each other for a rare moment, and then moved away in an extremely complicated manner.
Does she really think she hasn't caused enough trouble?
Upstairs, Lu Jinchuan sat on a chair with a gloomy face, staring at Ma Jianbai, the loyal and diligent uncle who came up right behind him.
The two old foxes both wanted to get the upper hand by finding out what was going on from each other, so after getting to know the general situation upon arriving here, they sat opposite each other and laughed.
Lu Jinchuan was still thinking about how to resolve this matter, when a sudden thought came to him like a bolt from the blue.
He suddenly stood up and looked towards the first floor with bloodshot eyes, and saw two familiar slim figures behind several tall figures.
As if sensing his overly passionate gaze, Lu Xinran looked up in the midst of her busy schedule, grinning with her white back teeth showing.
[Are you surprised? Are you surprised?]
[I feel relieved to see that you and your precious son are not doing well. ]
[You favored your concubine and killed your wife. The concubine was my true love, and the wife was an accident. The retribution is still to come. Your precious son gave you a huge gift package worth a fortune, which can empty all your private property.]
[Hahahaha, thinking about the retribution of the old scumbag, I feel happy and want to sing. ]
Her tone was so cheerful that everyone in the building couldn't help but look towards Lu Jinchuan.
Lu Jinchuan's face looked like a paint bottle had been overturned, so ugly that Ma Jianbai couldn't help laughing.
"Lord Lu, this kid in your family is really interesting."
He even cursed his own grandfather. How bad was his grandfather?
After all, having been in the officialdom for many years, Lu Jinchuan quickly withdrew his gaze and sat back in his chair like an old man in meditation.
