Chapter 55 Madam Lu Doesn’t Want to Listen to “Books”
That night, a message came from the Crown Prince. It turned out that it was Cao Lanxin who introduced herself. The palace maid knew that Lu Jiangnian's wife would come to the East Palace for a banquet today, so she thought that the person next to Cao Lanxin was the wife of the Prince of Loyalty and Bravery.
That’s why the wrong message is conveyed.
At that time, Liang Yusong did meet Zhao Liangfeng in Ziyunxuan.
Zhao Liangfeng was drunk at the time, and when he saw the young and beautiful Liang Yusong, he couldn't change his nature, so he went up to tease her.
Fortunately, the second prince arrived in time and helped Liang Yusong escape the disaster.
If the most favored person in the palace is Madam Zhaohua, then Concubine Zhao is the second most favored.
She was also the only concubine in the palace with two adult princes.
The third prince, Murong Ji, was good at martial arts. He once hunted a tiger and presented it to the emperor, winning the emperor's personal praise.
The Sixth Prince Murong Luo was a book lover who never put his book down and was good friends with men of letters.
The two brothers, one a scholar and the other a warrior, complement each other and are a force that cannot be underestimated in the court.
Zhao Liangfeng's biological father is the Minister of War, so he is very arrogant and doesn't even take ordinary people seriously.
Liang Yusong showed the sign of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, but Zhao Liangfeng became more aggressive and almost attacked Liang Yusong.
Lu Jiangnian was silent for a moment before he asked Xuanying, "So, it's a coincidence?"
Xuanying said: "At the moment, it seems to be a coincidence."
seem?
This didn't sound like something Xuanying would say. Lu Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Tell me, what did you find?"
Xuanying said calmly: "After the prince left, the maid was very calm and went back to her work with peace of mind."
"Logically, since she was so enthusiastic about telling you this, you should at least pay attention to the subsequent developments. It seems that she just passed on a message."
Lu Jiangnian nodded with satisfaction: "That makes sense. She thought I listened to her and went to Ziyunxuan. The mission was completed, so I shouldn't worry about other things."
It seems that this is also a nail.
Who on earth had placed so many people around the prince? Was it Madam Zhaohua or Concubine Zhao?
"Tell the prince to make some arrangements and see if he can catch some fish and shrimp."

Because of the subversion of the plot, Yuan Wanru was depressed for two days.
That day, Liuzhi suddenly came in and whispered something in Yuan Wanru's ear. Yuan Wanru's previous depression was swept away, and her eyes lit up: "I almost forgot about this matter. I'm in a bad mood. I should go collect some interest."
Liuzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that her mood had returned to its former cheerful state.
After the eldest young lady came back from the East Palace, she acted strange and couldn't cheer up.
Fortunately, the thing she had been keeping an eye on before finally had some results, and the eldest young lady was able to have fun again.
Yuan Wanru dressed up beautifully and was about to go to Rongshou Hall with Liu Zhi. Liu Yan looked at them with a sad face: "Are you really not going to take me with you?"
Yuan Wanru saw the bruises on her neck that had not yet disappeared, and said regretfully: "There is no way. Your injury is hard to heal. You can't go out until the injury is healed."
"Don't worry, Liuzhi is here with you. If you want to listen to the opera, she'll come back and tell you. It's the same thing."
Liu Yan curled her lips in disdain: "Forget it, she probably summed up everything in just two sentences, and it made me feel even worse."
Liuzhi glared at her and said unhappily, "I won't tell you if you want to hear it."
-
In Rongshou Hall, Aunt Cao said in a sarcastic tone, "The old lady just went to bed. If the eldest young lady is really filial, why not wait here? The old lady will be happy to see the eldest young lady when she wakes up."
How could Yuan Wanru not know that Old Lady Lu's little plan was just to make her stand here as punishment.
"Forget it then. The old lady is old and it's rare for her to get a good night's sleep. If she knew I was standing here, she might not be able to sleep well. I am so filial, how can I let the old lady sleep uneasy?"
"Madam Cao, when the old lady wakes up, you can tell her that I was here."
Nanny Cao had never seen such a shameless person. It was obviously she who was unwilling to wait, but she insisted on giving herself the label of "filial piety".
"I didn't even know that this is the way to be filial to your elders."
"If the eldest young lady didn't have this filial piety, she shouldn't have come to Rongshou Hall."
Yuan Wanru looked at Madam Cao with a smile, but that smile was a little cold.
"Why? The old lady has doubts about my filial piety. If that's the case, why not wait until she wakes up and I'll talk to her about the principles in the book. I should also let her know that the way to be filial is not what she thinks."
When Madam Cao heard this, she felt sick all over.
Now, whenever the old lady heard Yuan Wanru mention the word "book", she felt uncomfortable all over. Who knew where Yuan Wanru would come up with this long speech that would confuse everyone and make her look like a fool.
"No need, Madam, please go back quickly."
This is exactly what Yuan Wanru was waiting for.
I didn’t come to Rongshou Hall in the past because Old Lady Lu ordered me not to pay my respects.
If she came to Rongshou Hall but didn't pay her respects to the elders first, she would be being disrespectful.
Now, Old Lady Lu herself refused to see her, and that was not because she did not know etiquette.
"Then I won't disturb the old lady's rest."
Nanny Cao watched her turn around and walk away, thinking she had left, but unexpectedly, she turned around and went to the west wing.
It has been more than ten days since Cao Lanxin made a scene about catching a thief, and Yuan Wanru has never mentioned the matter, so everyone in Rongshoutang breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Wanru suddenly showed up.
She hurried in to report to the old lady, telling her that she couldn't really be allowed to take away the entire set of headwear.
The Cao family will not suffer such a big loss.
-
When Cao Lanxin heard that Yuan Wanru was coming, her face immediately turned ugly.
"Why is she here?"
Cao Lanzhi sighed: "I'm afraid it's because of the headgear."
Cao Lanxin slammed the table hard. "My second cousin is so useless. I gave her five hundred taels of silver, but she didn't do anything."
In order to get the note back, she gave Zhou Fang a lot of silver. Compared with thousands of taels and hundreds of taels, she would of course choose the smaller loss.
As long as she got the note, she could keep the entire set of headgear.
If Yuan Wanru wants a complete set of headgear, she must exchange it for a receipt.
Otherwise, who knows if she will turn against her and blackmail her again.
Cao Lanzhi didn't care about Zhou Fang anymore. What was bothering her now was how to fool her and persuade Yuan Wanru to leave.
The Cao family is thrifty in their nature, and the sisters could not accept losing a large sum of money for no reason.
Moreover, the beneficiary was Yuan Wanru, whom they hated very much.
Just thinking about it makes me feel so uncomfortable.
Before they could come up with a good idea, they heard a message from outside: "The eldest young master's wife is here."
Cao Lanzhi and Cao Lanxin looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. How could they get rid of this stubborn woman?
As soon as Yuan Wanru entered the room, she saw the Cao sisters. Both of them had long faces and there was no smile at all.
She smiled even more widely.
Why did she waste time these two days?
I should have come to trouble them a long time ago.
When you are feeling down, make the people you hate more unhappy than you are, and you will feel happy.
