"Miss, why did you bring the chicken soup back again?"
When Yuqing, a maid in the Chen household, saw Lu Changping carrying chicken soup into the room, she was somewhat surprised that Lu Changping had returned so quickly.
But when she saw the chicken soup in the bowl, she couldn't help but ask.
Miss, weren't you going to the study to deliver chicken soup to the Marquis?
Why are you back so quickly? Did something happen?
When Yuqing saw Lu Changping, who looked completely lost and pale, she was immediately terrified.
"Miss, what happened? Don't scare me!"
Although Yuqing's life with Lu Changping was not easy, if anything happened to Lu Changping, she was afraid she would be sold off.
Perhaps it was Yuqing's high-pitched voice that brought Lu Changping back to her senses and brought her back to her senses.
Lu Changping looked at Yuqing, showing a rare good temper, and said softly, "Grandpa is asleep, you can take your things away, I need to rest too."
Yuqing looked puzzled, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, the young lady whom Tongfu Pawnshop had found had a temper that was sometimes good and sometimes bad. If things didn't go her way, she would beat and scold the servants.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuqing didn't say anything more, picked up the chicken soup on the table, and left Lu Changping's room.
After everyone left, Lu Changping had already dug deep marks into her palms, but she felt no pain at all, and even felt a sense of pleasure and comfort.
It's been almost a year since she returned to the Marquis's residence. The whole family keeps saying that since they finally found her, they must make up for all the suffering she endured outside all these years.
But after she returned, apart from having no worries about food and clothing, she was not even allowed to leave the mansion or go out on the street for the first three months.
They claim that there are many important people in the new capital, and that if you don't learn the proper etiquette, you're likely to offend them.
This will also be detrimental to her reputation, making it difficult for her to find a noble family to marry into in the future.
Thinking about the good days to come, she obediently learned the rules, but to her surprise, the two old women didn't give her any face at all.
If it weren't for the people sent by that old woman, she would have already taught them a lesson.
Originally, she was doing this for the sake of a life of wealth. The servants said behind her back that she was freeloading, and her cousins from the second wife made things difficult for her in every way.
Now, things have gotten even worse; the people from the Marquis's mansion have actually found out Lu Qiqi's whereabouts.
This is a tricky situation. What if people find out that she is an imposter and used to bully the two sisters every day?
The people of the Marquis's mansion will certainly not let her off easily.
Lu Changping turned her head and saw the dressing box on the dressing table. It was a box made of sandalwood and contained all the jewelry and ornaments that she had acquired after coming to the Marquis's mansion.
If she escapes with these things, she can buy a small house and live a comfortable life as long as she doesn't buy expensive items in the future.
only...
In less than a year, she had already become accustomed to a life of luxury, so it would be difficult for her to give up on escaping.
She was not willing to accept it!
She slammed her clenched fist on the table with a dull thud, and pain shot through her hand, but Lu Changping showed no change in expression, her brows furrowed in pain.
"Lu Qiqi, I will not give up the good life I have now!"
She needs to make some careful plans for herself!
The next day, early morning.
Lu Changping was already waiting for breakfast in her second uncle Chen Ziye's courtyard.
Having lived in the Marquis's residence for nearly a year, she moved from her eldest uncle Chen Zirong's courtyard to her second uncle's courtyard.
Because her eldest uncle's only daughter had already married and there were no sisters of the same age in the courtyard, she was arranged to live in her second uncle's courtyard with her nominal older and younger cousins.
"Oh, so you've been waiting for this?"
"Sister, my cousin is growing up, so naturally she's thinking about food."
Judging from the voices, Lu Changping knew without turning around that it was her second uncle's two daughters.
When she was first brought back by the Marquis's mansion, she was still trying to please the two sisters.
Unexpectedly, they not only humiliated her in public, but also made the Lady of Lin'an Marquis dissatisfied with her, and completely ignored her.
However, she didn't have the confidence to argue with them now.
I could only pretend I didn't hear it and sit quietly without saying a word.
Chen Ziye left the mansion early in the morning; the young masters of the second branch of the family never ate here.
Therefore, Lu Changping had only met him a few times.
The arrival of her second aunt finally ended the two sisters' sarcastic remarks, and Lu Changping was able to pick up her chopsticks and bowl.
"Oh dear, your eyes are all bruised, you can't even eat."
Don't go complaining to Grandma again, saying we won't even feed you."
Lu Changping was about to retort when she heard a slight cough.
The coughing sound came from behind Yuqing.
Therefore, Lu Changping was unusually not provoked by her cousin.
Ever since Lu Changping overheard Chen Zirong saying he was going to send someone to find Lu Qiqi outside the study, she has been restless and unable to eat or sleep.
She knew that as long as she found Lu Qiqi, everyone in the Marquis's mansion would know her true identity.
I don't even dare to think about what will happen to her then.
It was late at night, and Lu Changping lay in bed, staring at the bed curtains above her head.
She had considered bribing an assassin to kill Lu Qiqi in Luzhou Prefecture.
But once she returned to the Marquis's residence, she rarely had the chance to leave the mansion in this new capital city, and had no idea where to look for anyone.
Moreover, murder is something that cannot be accomplished without connections, even if one has money and is willing to pay a high price.
Thinking of this, Lu Changping tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and stayed awake until dawn.
In contrast, Lu Changping was in a state of constant anxiety at the Marquis's residence.
Lu Qiqi lived a very carefree life in Luzhou Prefecture.
After learning of Chen's identity, An Shi had already set off for the new capital.
