February 2
The Xu family decorated the yard with lanterns and bright red silk cloths.
The servants were carrying plates and moving around the yard, but they looked less happy.
Xu Wanyan looked at the book in front of her, but couldn't read a single word.
"Miss......"
Qiao Yun looked at her and felt a little worried.
Xu Wanyan came back to her senses and shook her head, "I'm fine."
But she always felt that something was going to happen.
"Wanyan, hurry to Mingzhu Garden. Xu Wanqing has started washing her face."
Huang Yueping came to call Xu Wanyan with a happy face. It seemed that she was unable to handle it alone.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Xu Wanyan packed up and came to Mingzhu Garden.
"Second Miss, our young lady is bathing inside and cannot see you for the time being."
Xu Wanyan didn't care. She didn't want to see Xu Wanqing in the first place.
After this, Xu Wanqing and Lu Mingxuan will have a love-hate relationship.
"Wanyan, your sister is dressing up inside, so don't go in yet, lest she feel uncomfortable."
Xu Wanyan snorted coldly, "In that case, please ask Aunt Zhao to keep an eye on everything here. Later, my sister's sisters will come to add makeup to her. Remember to entertain them well."
Zhao Yaru's expression changed. After a long pause, she replied sternly, "Who asked them to come? They just came to laugh at Wanqing, didn't they?"
Then, she stared at Xu Wanyan fiercely, "It's you, you invited them here, you wanted them to cause trouble for Wanqing, right?"
Xu Wanyan smiled slightly, "This time, you guessed right."
Then, she glanced outside and said, "I'm afraid it's almost time."
"I have other things to do, so I'll leave this to my aunt."
"you......"
Zhao Yaru wanted to eat Xu Wanyan alive, but unfortunately, this was a critical moment and she couldn't let him down.
After Xu Wanyan left, Zhao Yaru took a deep breath and walked into the inner room.
"Mom, what should I do?"
Xu Wanqing hugged Yu Qilin tightly in her arms and looked at Zhao Yaru in panic.
"Wanqing, my dear daughter, I have already made arrangements for you. Take the black people with you and go out through the back door while there is chaos. Your uncle's carriage is waiting for you there."
"So, are we going to the East Palace?"
Zhao Yaru shook her head. "You are not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial edict. Your uncle will arrange for you to stay at the home of a colleague. Then the prince will come to see you."
Hearing this, Xu Wanqing's face was full of excitement, "Okay, I'll listen to my mother."
This time, she was determined to burn her boats and climb up to the high branch of the prince, and step on Xu Wanyan, Huang Yueping and that wild child under her feet.
"Then, what about Mingxuan?"
A hint of disdain flashed across Zhao Yaru's eyes, but she still looked at Xu Wanqing with a loving expression, "Wanqing, don't worry about Mingxuan. Mother will arrange for Xixue to marry him in your place."
When Xu Wanqing heard about the replacement marriage, a trace of displeasure flashed through her heart and her face darkened.
Seeing this, Zhao Yaru quickly explained, "Don't think too much. Xixue is my mother's person. She is just marrying him for you and will definitely not consummate the marriage with Lu Mingxuan."
"When you succeed, you can do whatever you want with Lu Mingxuan."
"real?"
Xu Wanqing looked delighted.
Zhao Yaru nodded heavily, "Of course it's true. When has mother ever lied to you? In mother's heart, you are the most important."
Xu Wanqing was a little bit unconvinced. If her mother loved her the most, why would she move so many good things to the Zhao family?
If her father hadn't taken out the list, she would have been kept in the dark.
However, now is not the time to fall out with my mother.
Xu Wanqing buried her head in Zhao Yaru's arms and said affectionately, "I know that mother loves me the most. When I become the Crown Princess and the Queen, I will definitely avenge my mother and make Xu Wanyan, the bitch, kneel before you."
Zhao Yaru's eyes were filled with relief. "Okay, Mom will wait."
The mother and daughter chatted in private for a while, then secretly let her put on the servant's clothes and asked his confidant to take her to the back door.
"Xixue, do you remember what I told you?"
Xixue nodded submissively, "Madam, I remember that I went there in place of the young lady."
Zhao Yaru gave her a look of disgust. "Just remember, even if Lu Mingxuan is unwanted by the young lady, you can't covet him. Do you understand?"
Xixue lowered her head and whispered, "I understand. I will help you keep an eye on Master Lu."
"In that case, Qingping, put makeup on her!"
"yes!"
Qingping was a little angry. Why was she the young lady's maid and now Xixue's maid?
She refused to accept it, Xixue was also a maid!
Feeling resentful, his hands couldn't help but move a little harder.
"Ouch, Qingping, you hurt me!"
Xixue looked at Qingping with tears in her eyes and felt wronged.
Qingping became even more annoyed and said bitterly, "So what? You're just a servant. Why should I dress you up?"
"But, this is not something I can decide."
Qingping looked at Xixue. She had never realized before that Xixue was so adorable when she cried.
The more she watched, the angrier she became, and she pulled the rope even tighter.
"ah......"
Xixue covered her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face.
A cry of surprise caught Zhao Yaru's attention.
"Take your hands off me!"
After she saw the red marks on Xixue's face, she slapped Qingping without saying a word.
"You're so rebellious! How dare you mess up what I decided?"
Qingping knelt down in panic and kowtowed repeatedly, "Madam, please spare my life, Madam, please spare my life, this maidservant, this maidservant accidentally did not mean to do it."
"Hmph! I tell you, you are a slave of the Xu family. If you don't accept it, don't go to the Lu family this time."
"Madam, this maidservant..."
She really didn't want to go. Not only was the Lu family a small family, but Mother Lu also looked difficult to get along with, so she was sure they would have a hard time.
Besides, why should she be Xixue's maid?
"Don't you want to go?" Zhao Yaru looked at Qingping sharply.
"Madam, I, the maid, want to accompany you for the rest of your life."
Zhao Yaru snorted coldly. She had never realized before that this girl was so scheming.
In this case, she can't go to the Lu family.
"Okay, you can stay at Xu's house."
After she finished speaking, she looked at another maid and said, "Xichun, you accompany Xixue to marry over there. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
The maid named Xichun didn't react much. She bowed and said, "Yes, I will definitely follow your instructions, Madam."
Zhao Yaru nodded with satisfaction. This girl is very steady.
"Okay, continue with your makeup!"
"yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rustling sound of footsteps outside.
Zhao Yaru's expression changed, knowing that it must be those noble ladies coming.
"Don't go out, I'll go take a look."
"yes!"
Zhao Yaru squeezed her face and soon put on a friendly smile.
Now she walked out satisfied.
