Shi Qing was heard outside, calling out in a panic, "Miss, something bad has happened. Someone has come from the palace and wants you to go back to receive the imperial edict. Princess Qin and Princess came back with the eunuchs from the palace. They looked so proud. Could it be that the Queen Mother promised her something? Miss, you must be prepared."
"Empress Dowager?" Lu Wan laughed. Qin He was an abandoned child. Rouran didn't want her at all. The Empress Dowager was also very wary of her. How could she treat her sincerely?
No matter what promises the Queen Mother made to her, Lu Wan felt that they were not sincere and were instead toying with her.
"Go back." Lu Wan said calmly, without any fear at all.
Qin He saw her coming and said with a smile: "Sister, why do you always go to the General's Mansion? Even though the General's Mansion is close to Li Mansion, it is still your mother's home. Wouldn't it be a joke if you go back so often?"
"You don't need to ask about this. I just feel sorry for my sister whose family lives in Rouran. She can't go back to her parents' home because the mountains are high and the roads are long and inconvenient." Lu Wan responded with a smile.
Qin He was very angry about what she said. Wasn't she warning herself that her backer Rouran was thousands of miles away, so she had to be careful with her words and actions? Qin He refused to do so and even wanted to give Lu Wan a heavy blow.
"Sister, since you are here, just wait for the order. This is the imperial decree from the Queen Mother."
After saying this, she signaled to the eunuch Chongxi beside her and said, "Sir, you can issue the Empress Dowager's decree now."
After saying this, he bowed and half-knelt, glancing at Lu Wan with a smug look.
Lu Wan avoided her gaze in annoyance, and heard Chongxi say, "According to the Queen Mother's decree, Lu Wan was arrogant and domineering, openly disrespected the Rouran Princess Qinhe, and repeatedly made things difficult for her. This was really rude, and it not only brought shame to the Li Mansion and the General's Mansion, but also to the Central Plains. However, the Queen Mother is kind-hearted and will not punish you. She will only deprive you of the power to manage the Li Mansion and transfer it all to Qinhe."
"Lu Wan, you know you are wrong!"
Lu Wan looked up at Chongxi in surprise. She didn't expect that the Queen Mother would deprive her of the power to manage Jiangli Mansion. Qinhe and she didn't know how to manage a house at all. How could the power of Li's family be given to her!
However, how could she resist the Queen Mother's decree? She could only accept the decree under Qin He's mocking gaze and said, "Lu Wan knows her mistake and will help Qin and manage the Li family well in the future. Thank you Queen Mother for your mercy and please calm down."
"Yeah." Chongxi nodded with satisfaction and left with his people.
Qin He then said proudly: "Sister, now you know that even if Rouran is thousands of miles away from me, as long as I am the Princess of Rouran, even if I am a concubine, my status is a hundred times higher than yours. From now on, Lijia will be mine. You must behave well. If you annoy me, I will deduct your monthly salary."
After saying that, Qin He left, looking like he was in a very good mood.
Shi Qing said from the side: "Miss, she is too arrogant. She even wants to take away your housekeeper power. If this continues, you will be bullied by her."
Lu Wan shook his head and said with a smile: "There won't be such a day."
Qin He officially took charge of the Li Mansion, and made it a mess. She was indeed not familiar with household affairs, so Lu Wan had to follow her and help her clean up the mess.
Qin He saw it all and said nothing, instead he was proud. If Lu Wan was willing to clean up, then let her do it. Since she loved cleaning up the mess so much, then he must take good care of her and create enough trouble for her.
Because of Qinhe's identity, Lijia was very wary of her. The relationship between Rouran and Central Plains was not good, and it was only gradually getting better since Qinhe's marriage. Recently, there has been peace, but it does not mean that there are no undercurrents in secret.
Sure enough, with Lu Wan and Shen Yan’s extra attention, they actually discovered that Qin He had sneaked into Shen Yan’s study several times, looking hurried and furtive.
In order to test her, Chen Yan deliberately asked someone to pretend to be him and leave the study. Sure enough, Qin He sneaked in after a while. She came in for no other reason, but to go straight to Chen Yan's desk and bookshelf, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, looking through the plans and secret plans.
Shen Yan and Lu Wan hid in the secret room behind the bookshelf and watched all this, only to realize that Qin He was spying on the secrets of the Central Plains. She was probably trying to pass on military secrets to the Rouran.
But what she didn't know was that Lu Wan and Shen Yan had been on guard against her. The things on the table were not real military secrets, but were deliberately made by them to confuse Qin He.
If Qin He passed these secrets to Rouran, he would be passing on false information.
Afterwards, Lu Wan kept an eye on Qin He's movements. She did not choose to let anyone know, but instead sent a pigeon to deliver a message.
In the dead of night, a pigeon suddenly flew out from the sky above Li's house, with something tied to its leg.
Lu Wan and Shen Yan secretly asked someone to shoot down the pigeon. When they took the thing and looked at it, they found that the tightly sealed information inside was actually from the Central Plains, described in simple words, and it was in the language of the Rouran people.
As they expected, Qinhe had been secretly transmitting information to Rouran.
After they confirmed it, they released the pigeon, with the false information still tied to its legs.
Lu Wan said worriedly: "Perhaps Qinhe has already passed a lot of information from the Central Plains to the Rouran using this method."
"Don't worry. My study room will be locked and guarded strictly when leaving. No one can enter without my permission. Qin He went in several times, but I deliberately left the door unlocked and instructed others not to guard it. She should have sent false information to Rouran three times. What do you think Rouran will do to her?"
Shen Yan laughed softly.
Of course Lu Wan knew what he meant. The Rouran royal family had never cared about her in the first place, and now that she had sent false information, she was afraid that the Rouran royal family would think that she was a traitor and even rebelled and defected to the Central Plains.
