Lu Zhixing could no longer say the words "I'm sorry" in front of Song Yushu, as he felt that this was not something that could be solved with just an apology.
Sensing Lu Zhixing's low mood, Song Yushu half-truthed and half-lie, "Ah Xing, Godfather regards you as his life, and your feelings are what he values most."
It must be said that the loyalty of people in ancient times was unquestionable. Song Yushu's godfather only had eyes for Lu Zhixing when he was alive.
There was only Lu Zhixing in his life, and even Song Yushu would be scolded if he complained a little more.
After a long silence, Lu Zhixing held Song Yushu's hand and said, "Tomorrow will be extremely dangerous. Even though you have Yuzhu and Aunt Yue by your side, don't let your guard down."
"Okay." Song Yushuhui shook his hand. "You should also pay attention to your safety. The Lin family is fighting a desperate battle and will not let go easily."
Lu Zhixing was completely disappointed with the Lin Mansion. If it weren't for the kindness of his grandfather over the years and the pressure of filial piety, he would never have set foot in the Lin Mansion. His eyes were full of indifference.
"You have to let it go even if you don't want to."
The next day it was still dark.
Yan'er and Xi'er carried the basin of water and wanted to knock on the door, but before they got close, they were stopped by Yuzhu.
In terms of physique, neither of them was as tall as Yuzhu. She stood at the door and looked down at the two people below, with her hands folded and not saying a word.
"Miss Yuzhu, the old master has sent a message from his courtyard, requesting that the prince go there to pay his respects. Please move aside and don't delay him." Xi'er was about to go upstairs with the flower basket, her face full of arrogance. "If I delay you, a maid like you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Yuzhu snorted, "You're talking as if you're not a servant. Stop pretending to be the master! The prince has never even looked at you!"
Being ridiculed so early in the morning, and by someone who was just a country girl's maid, Xier was almost furious. She raised her hand to hit Yuzhu, but was stopped by Yan'er. She glanced at the flower basket in Xier's hand and shook her head slightly.
"Miss Yuzhu, this is the old master's order. You are not from the Lin family, so don't worry about it. We are different, and neither you nor I can afford to delay the prince's time to pay his respects." Although Yan'er's eyes were full of disdain and a hint of excitement, she pretended much better than Xi'er.
Yuzhu looked at the two of them coldly, crossed her arms, and even took two steps forward. Then, with lightning speed, she swept the washbasins and flower baskets in their hands to the ground. "Don't tell me all this. The prince said that if he doesn't call, no one can disturb him!"
"You!——" Xi'er and Yan'er never thought that a country maid could be so bold! They looked at the basin and flower basket on the ground in panic.
At this moment, Lu Zhixing called out, and Yuzhu let out a proud sigh. She even went down the stairs, stepped on the petals scattered on the ground, crushed them hard twice, and then ran into the room like a fly.
Xier and Yaner's minds went blank. This was something the master had repeatedly instructed them to deliver to the prince's room!
Yan'er even picked up the flower basket with a pale face and wanted to pick up the petals on the ground, only to find that the damn Yuzhu didn't even leave a handful of good petals.
"Sister, what should we do..." Xier's hands were shaking, and she couldn't help but pull Yaner's sleeve.
Yan'er immediately glared at her, interrupted her, and shouted, "Shut up."
At this moment, Song Yushu came out holding Lu Zhixing's arm. She frowned and looked at the two people in front of her, "What's going on?"
Yan'er glanced at Lu Zhixing and knelt down with a plop. "Your Highness, I've greeted you countless times since you came to the Lin Mansion. I'm an old man you're familiar with. Today, the old master specifically asked Yan'er to bring you morning dew and the finest Chu chrysanthemum petals for you to wash, but—"
"You were tired last night, so you don't have to make pastries for me at noon today. Just have a good rest." Lu Zhixing spoke, but ignored Yan'er completely.
The veins on Yan'er's hands hanging at her sides were bulging, and her teeth were about to break, and she barely managed to control the expression on her face.
But she could hold it back, but Xier couldn't. In fact, the two of them were already treated as concubines in the Lin Mansion and had never been treated like this before.
"Your Highness! Even if you can't see the miserable state of Sister Yan'er and me, you should at least give us both justice!"
After Xier finished speaking indignantly, Lu Zhixing finally "looked" in the direction of the two of them, but the smarter Yan'er noticed something was wrong, and before she could say anything, Lu Zhixing spoke coldly.
"Who do you think you are? Liu Bai, throw them out, open your mouth fifty, and tell the people in the Lin Mansion that the next time you appear in front of this king, it will not just be open your mouth!"
"Your Highness! Your Highness! Xier was just confused for a moment and said some--" Before Yan'er could finish her words, Liu Bai's sword was across her neck.
"Miss Yan'er, if you say another word, this sword won't just be in this place anymore."
In the end, Liu Bai carried them both out, and the yard immediately became quiet.
Listening to Yan'er and Xi'er's constant pleas for mercy, Song Yushu sighed softly, "Actually, they are both really good-looking. They are not considered to be extremely evil people."
Lin Zong liked her looks, and every move was trained by Mrs. Lin according to his preferences.
It's just that during this period of time, the Lin family wanted to please Lu Zhixing and wanted to be tied to him, which is why they wanted to get close to Lu Zhixing. In fact, they had no say in this.
"Don't worry about them. You must be very cautious and careful today." Lu Zhixing held Song Yushu's hand.
Song Yushu nodded, "You too."
Watching Lu Zhixing leaving, Song Yushu lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then brought Yuzhu to Aunt Yue's yard.
"Today I have found out where Lin Zong's letters and keepsakes are. As long as you give the order, I can take action immediately." Aunt Yue finally waited for Song Yushu to come to her in person. Her eyes lit up and she even rubbed her hands with anticipation.
Song Yushu pondered, "Correspondence is one of them, but is there any witness?"
Song Yushu wanted to have concrete evidence for every crime committed by the Lin family and would never let the Lin family overturn the verdict. These were the straws that broke the camel's back for the Lin family.
"There are some, I have sent people to protect them, you just send people to take over." Aunt Yue was not a stupid person, her parents had always been proud of her.
"Very good. Today the Lin Mansion will surely make a final stand. You and I both need to be alert. I even hope that after you obtain the physical and witness evidence, you will leave the Lin Mansion and go to the Crown Prince's Mansion." Song Yushu stared at Aunt Yue. "This move is extremely dangerous. Are you willing?"
