Ever since Cheng Ying reminded her that day, Liang Wushuang thought carefully and realized that Liu Miwu was close to her only because of Governor Cheng.
Liu Miwu fanned the flames in the affair between her and Lu Jin, just to make Mr. Cheng dislike her, but what good would this do for Liu Miwu?
As a woman herself, Liang Wushuang could only think that Liu Miwu also had strange feelings towards Cheng Dugong.
Today's brocade bag was specially embroidered for Liu Miwu to see.
Liu Miwu looked at the two lotus flowers on the flower shed, and her heart sank a little. She kept smiling and said, "As long as it's embroidered by my sister, the governor will definitely like it."
Liang Wushuang smiled shyly, peeking at Liu Miwu's expression, and said, "The governor also said so."
Liu Miwu poured herself a cup of tea and said, "I just met someone outside the door. Can you guess who it is?"
Liang Wushuang shook her head and asked the maid to take the sewing basket away. "My yard is very secluded. Could it be that my sister met the governor? The governor has been busy these days and didn't send a message saying that he would come over."
Liu Miwu smiled and said, "Sister, you are mistaken. It's not Lord Du, but Mr. Lu."
Liang Wushuang tightened his grip on the handkerchief slightly, and the smile on his face faded a little.
Liu Miwu pretended not to have seen it and continued, "I saw that Master Lu seemed to have been waiting outside the house for a long time. He asked me to tell you that he wanted to see you. Just now he stopped my sedan chair and mistook me for you. I didn't see his sincere look, but I think Master Lu has deep feelings for me."
Liang Wushuang looked at Liu Miwu straight in the eye, her face calm, "Sister, why are you telling me all this? Since I've followed Lord Du, I'm Lord Du's person, how can I be involved with another man?"
"When I was living in Taoxi Lane, I was bullied by ruffians. Mr. Lu Qian saw the injustice and stepped in to protect me. I was grateful for his kindness. Some time ago, I wanted to rescue him from prison just to repay him. Sister Miwu also knows this." Liang Wushuang's tone was calm and when he mentioned Lu Jin, he seemed like an insignificant person.
She called the maid in and said, "Go and send that man outside away."
Liu Miwu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Sister, are you really not going to meet Mr. Lu?"
Liang Wushuang's almond-shaped eyes were cold, "Sister, why do you keep mentioning the outsider in front of me? Lord Du loves me and pampers me. Now I only have Lord Du in my heart and eyes."
A smile suddenly appeared on her lips. "Sister can get along with all men, but I am different from her."
These words were pure sarcasm. Liu Miwu pinched her palms and tried to maintain her composure, not immediately turning sullen.
"I am sorry for talking too much." Liu Miwu raised her delicate chin slightly, and stroked the hair beside her ears with her cardamom-dyed nails. "I didn't tell you before, but I was also a daughter raised in a good family. But later my parents died of illness, and my family fell into poverty. I had to go to my relatives' house for shelter."
"Later, the governor took me in. Just like my sister is now, I had a big house to live in, and maids and old women to serve me. The governor also invited famous teachers to teach me music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and everything was perfect for me." Liu Miwu said softly.
Liang Wushuang clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "Sister, what do you mean by telling me this?"
She only knew that Liu Miwu was helping Mr. Cheng, but she didn't expect that she was also kept in Mr. Cheng's house.
"I volunteered to work for the Governor in Xinglou. Since you look down on me, why do you still call me sister?" Liu Miwu narrowed her eyes, raising the corners of her eyes, adding a bit of condescending momentum. "I forgot to tell you, there are many girls like me who are supported by the Governor. Do you know where they all went in the end?"
Liang Wushuang was a little panicked. Could it be that she was just a little thing that the governor kept on a whim? She had thought that her face was special in Cheng Ying's heart, but it turned out that Cheng Ying had many other women.
Liu Miwu's eyes were penetrating, as if she had seen through Liang Wushuang's panic, and she smiled and said, "They have all gone to the palace to serve the emperor."
Liu Miwu stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on her sleeves, looked at Liang Wushuang and said with a half-smile, "I wonder if my sister will have such good fortune in the future. A beautiful woman can only be a beautiful woman, but she will still be a beautiful woman. I am different from my sister. At least in the eyes of the governor, I am still useful."
Liang Wushuang's face was getting paler and paler. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Liu Miwu, and said with an almost broken heart, "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense! It's not like that. The governor has me in his heart, how could he be willing to give me away!"
Liu Miwu still had a faint smile on her face. With such a little cunning, he still wanted to fight with her. Did he really think that she had remained the most popular courtesan in Xinglou all these years just because of her face?
She took light steps, approached Liang Wushuang, raised her hand and touched Liang Wushuang's face, "Sister, you must take good care of this face. If you lose this face, the governor will not support idle people."
Liang Wushuang slapped her hand away and said angrily, "Shut up!"
Liu Miwu chuckled and rubbed the back of her hand that was slapped red by Liang Wushuang, "I won't bother my sister anymore."
She curled the corners of her lips and walked outside in a graceful and elegant manner.
Liang Wushuang pursed her lips tightly, and a hint of stubbornness appeared on her distraught face. She suddenly shouted at Liu Miwu's back, "Wait."
