Chapter 1219 Xiao Shi's Wrath
The maid swallowed hard, lowered her head, and whispered, "Why don't we invite Lord Lu again? This time, invite him to the county office and say that Miss feels guilty about what happened today. After Lord Lu arrives, let Mr. Tang and her share a room. That way, even if the two of them have ten mouths, they won't be able to explain themselves, and the magistrate will surely give up."
Lu Sanzhu, who was in the water, stared wide-eyed and almost couldn't help but curse out loud. He even accidentally slapped his hand on the water's surface.
The slightest noise startled Lu Sanzhu to death.
However, at the same time, Xiao suddenly stood up, slammed her hand on the table, and swept the teacup off the table.
The sound just happened to cover up Lu Sanzhu's movements.
"Shui Xin!! Do you even know what you're saying?! Although I dislike Lu Xiangjun and want to marry her off as soon as possible, I would never resort to such despicable means. If she doesn't like Tang Wenqian, I'll introduce her to Li Wenqian or Zhang Wenqianâthat's all perfectly aboveboard. And you're telling me to frame her by forcing her to her death? Shui Xin, what kind of person do you take me for, Xiao Ruojun?"
Shui Xin was startled and hurriedly knelt down. "Miss, Miss, Shui Xin knows she was wrong. Shui Xin shouldn't have said such things."
"I'm so disappointed. You shouldn't stay in the peach blossom grove today. Go back to your residence first."
Shui Xin shuddered, but dared not say anything more, and quickly got up and left.
As soon as she left, Madam Xiao said to Granny Gu with a stern face, "This girl can't stay by my side anymore. She's been thinking like this for a long time. She's too vicious. I don't feel at ease using her."
Granny Gu nodded, "This old servant understands. In the end, it's Hewen who makes Miss feel at ease. It's a pity that she has to stay in Jingcheng."
Xiao sat back down and rubbed her temples. "I thought coming to Jiangyuan County would make things easier for me, but I didn't expect one trouble after another to come."
Granny Gu stood behind her and massaged her temples. "Miss, although Shui Xin's idea is too despicable, if Lu Xiangjun really interfered knowing that the master has a wife, then she is indeed not a good girl. It is not unreasonable for us to use some methods to deal with her."
Madam Xiao was annoyed. "That was something without evidence. If there were evidence, I certainly wouldn't have let her off the hook. Fine, I'll wait another half month. If she lied to me and no one goes to the Lu family to propose marriage, then I'll go and settle accounts with her. She shouldn't think that the daughter of the Xiao family is so easily fooled."
Granny Gu then said nothing more.
The two didn't sit in the pavilion for long. After all, Madam Xiao was the hostess of the banquet, and since Shu Yu had left, she naturally had to go out to entertain the guests.
After tidying up her expression and clothes, Madam Xiao went out with Granny Gu.
As soon as they left, Lu Sanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, moved his hands and feet, and quickly swam towards the other side of the shore.
Shortly after he swam away, a young woman came over and looked at the water.
Not seeing anyone, he frowned and left.
Lu Sanzhu swam to the shore after quite a while, struggled to climb ashore, stretched his body, and finally felt a little better.
Without saying a word, he ran off to change his clothes, and then hurried back, peeking out from outside the peach grove in the southwest corner.
The old woman guarding the gate saw him and coldly shouted, "What are you doing here sneaking around? Get out of here right now, or don't blame us for being impolite."
