Luo Lingyu bowed: "...Thank you, madam."
Madam Lu said, "Then Madam Luo, please go down and have a rest."
Mrs. Lu turned her gaze to Lu Xian and hesitated for a moment before she said, "Erlang, please stay. I have something to ask you."
After Luo Lingyu and the others left, Lu Xian stayed with Madam Lu. Madam Lu drank a cup of tea for a long time and said, "I asked Madam Luo to stay for another reason. Why did you chase someone out of the alley? You were so attentive to the daughter of the Luo family, and she pushed you into trouble, but you didn't let me care. You must give me a reason."
Lu Xian was shocked.
Where could he find an excuse? Could it be that he was attracted to Luo Lingyu? Then Mrs. Lu would have to eat Luo Lingyu up. How could Luo Lingyu stay in the Lu family?
Being stared at by his mother, Lu Xian couldn't come up with any other excuses. He was sweating profusely. Finally, he said with a stiff face, "It has nothing to do with me. It's, it's..."
Mrs. Lu: “What is it?!”
Lu Xian suddenly had an idea and said, "...It was Sanlang who admired her! Yes, it was Sanlang!"
Mrs. Lu: “……?”
Thoughtful.
The author has something to say: Lu San: I heard that everyone wants to change the male lead, is there anyone in this world who loves me? (T_T)
Chapter 27
After Lu Erlang left, Mrs. Lu was still skeptical. How could it be Sanlang? Erlang didn't coax her? Luo's daughter's background was much worse than Lu's, and Mrs. Lu didn't like her. Mrs. Lu would never accept this girl as her daughter-in-law. But if it was Lu Sanlang... Mrs. Lu would not interfere in the affairs of the second house to avoid suspicion. The only people who could be the master of Lu Yun's marriage were probably the old marquis and the old lady, and Lu Yun himself. As long as Luo's daughter had nothing to do with Lu Erlang, Mrs. Lu thought this girl was also good from an outsider's perspective.
The maid Lu Yao, who had just sent Lu Xian out, saw that Madam Lu was still thinking with a frown on her face. Lu Yao knew what Madam Lu was thinking. She hesitated for a moment and said to Madam Lu, "Madam, on the day when Erlang woke up, didn't we run into Sanlang hugging a girl outside the courtyard? Afterwards, I observed carefully and found that although Sanlang used his cloak to block people, the corner of the girl's skirt that was exposed was exactly the same as what Madam Luo was wearing that day."
Lu Yao: "Madam, is it possible that Ms. Luo did not pray in the temple that day as she said, but was with San Lang?"
Mrs. Lu was startled and raised her eyes: "Are you seeing things?"
Being stared at by Madam Lu, whose eyes were as sharp as lightning, Lu Yao was undecided for a moment... Lu Yao coughed and rolled his eyes: "Madam, why don't we check it out?"
Mrs. Lu's heart was moved: "It's okay to investigate her. I'm just afraid that she really has something going on with Sanlang. I don't want to investigate Qingyuan. If I drag Sanlang into this, won't the elders say that I'm treating my uncle's bloodline badly?"
Facing the second house with only one male lead left, the head mistress was so worried and didn't want to get involved. After thinking for a while, Mrs. Lu waved her hand and murmured, "Forget it, it's better not to know about this matter. I just think she is not simple, and she has fascinated so many people and pleaded for her. If she was really with Sanlang that day, huh?" Mrs. Lu said, she was puzzled. I don't know whether to worry that Luo Lingyu might have teased them behind their backs, or whether Luo Lingyu was really closer to Lu Sanlang than Erlang.
Madam Lu slammed the table and asked the mother to come forward: "My sister-in-law arranged for Madam Luo to come to our house, and I didn't ask much. But now it seems that Madam Luo is not a quiet person. If she and Sanlang really have something in the future, I can't be completely ignorant if the old lady asks about it."
"Find some smart servants to come see me. I have to send them to Nanyang to find out why Luo Lingyu left the Nanyang Luo family."
"Is it because of her bad character that she was kicked out by the Luo family? Or is it because she is always causing trouble and relying on her beauty to seduce the brothers to fight for her... or some other reason that forced her to come to the Lu family in Jianye."
At this time, Lu Yun was in a private room on the second floor of a newly opened teahouse next to the new bridge on the Qinhuai River. The southern country has good tea, and teahouses are everywhere in the market. When all kinds of new teas are on the market, they are often snapped up. However, the teas sold in the market are all left over from the wealthy families' competition for wealth. Lu Sanlang came to the teahouse, of course, not for tea.
After opening the window and leaning on the railing, and drinking a cup of tea, the curtain of the elegant house was lifted, and Chen Wang Liu Chu came in. Liu Chu had a delicate face, but at this moment he frowned and looked like he was worried. Seeing Sanlang's casual and leisurely look, Liu Chu was silent for a while and sat down.
Without waiting for Lu Sanlang to speak, the stuttering and silent Prince Chen sat down and said impatiently: "Xuechen, you, leave Jianye and hide for two days."
Lu Yun stared: "Why?"
He closed his eyes and said, "I have been recuperating at home these days, not even leaving the house, and have done nothing. Why should I seek refuge? What difficulty am I avoiding?"
Liu Chu was anxious: "Hengyang, King Hengyang he he he..."
He stuttered for a long time, unable to speak, his face flushed with anger. He simply wrote on the table with tea to communicate with Lu Yun: "During the court meeting, Prince Hengyang told my father that he was assassinated before coming to Jianye. My father was furious and sent people to investigate. He also sent infantry outside the Prince Hengyang's mansion to protect the Prince Hengyang. This matter has nothing to do with us, but I don't know why, the news that you left Jianye for a few months and were injured and could not go out after returning was spread. Before going to court today, a guest told me that Prince Hengyang seemed to suspect that you were the assassin."
Lu Yun raised his eyebrows: "I left Jianye for Yicheng, but I never went to Hengyang. Several great scholars in Yicheng can testify to this. What does the assassination of the King of Hengyang have to do with me?"
Liu Chu: "This means that there is no one in the court. Hengyang and Yicheng are both heading south, and you have been hiding from those noble families all the way and not taking the official road. If you use this as an excuse, you will not be able to clear yourself if the King of Hengyang makes trouble."
Liu Chu spoke again: "I'll take over Jianye. You, go out and hide first. Don't mess with him."
Lu Yun: “No.”
He said slowly, "He wants to attack more than just me. I am not in the court, and I have no interest in him. He may be targeting you, Your Highness. He came to Jianye and told His Majesty that he was assassinated, instead of investigating privately. Prince Hengyang must have something in his hand... I won't leave, I want to see his reasons. Even if I am not in the court, I am not willing to take the blame obediently."
