Liang Wushuang asked the maid beside her, "You said earlier that the third young lady of Liu Cifu's family was bullied by Prince Qin in Xinglou. How did Prince Qin bully Miss Liu San?"
The maid also heard about it, and she said, "It seems that someone around Miss Liu San offended Prince Qin, and Prince Qin took them outside the Xinglou to teach them a lesson, and also wanted to take Miss Liu San back to the Tongqing Earl's Mansion. Later, Young Marquis Gu arrived and gave Prince Qin a severe lesson. After the incident became a big deal, the emperor stripped Prince Qin of his title of crown prince, punished Young Marquis Gu with eighty strokes of the cane, and confiscated Young Marquis Gu's position as the commander of the Five Cities Military Department."
Liang Wushuang felt somewhat disappointed after hearing this. She couldn't tell what she was thinking. She actually hoped that Miss Liu San would be teased by Prince Qin.
But Ci Fu's family was so prestigious, how could they be interested in Lu Jin, a small captain of the Imperial Guard?
"Why would Young Marquis Gu help Miss Liu San?" Liang Wushuang asked again, twisting the handkerchief in his hand.
"I heard that the Annan Marquisate wanted to marry the Liu family, but some people said that Madam Liu went to the Annan Marquisate in person and said that she had no intention of marrying the Annan Marquisate. Their third daughter is still young and needs to stay in the mansion for a few more years."
Seeing that she seemed quite interested in the Third Miss Liu, the maid thought that she wanted to make friends with the Third Miss Liu, so she couldn't help but remind her, "Madam, you'd better not get too close to these young ladies from official families, so as to avoid being framed by someone who might say that the governor is secretly forming a clique for personal gain."
The people in Liang Wushuang's house had all been working under Cheng Ying for a long time. Some of them had originally been looking after the house in the other courtyard. No matter what the rumors about Cheng Ying were, they were all very loyal. Those who were not loyal could not stay under Cheng Ying for long.
"Who dares? Who in the court dares to go against the governor now? Don't you think your life is too long?" Liang Wushuang sneered, "Don't think I know nothing. With the governor here, why should I be so cautious?"
Liang Wushuang didn't take the maid's words to heart, and she had no intention of making friends with Miss Liu San.
The maid fell silent and said no more. It was unknown whether Madam Wushuang had the governor in her heart or not. She always thought that the governor had all the power in the world and she could do whatever she wanted, but she didn't think about the governor at all.
Liang Wushuang stared at the teahouse opposite. He originally thought that Miss Liu San was a good person, but it sounded like she was not a woman who would settle down. She was having an unclear relationship with Young Marquis Gu of Annan Marquis's Mansion, and at the same time, she was flirting with Lu Jin.
Liang Wushuang held the handkerchief and thought for a moment, then walked towards the teahouse opposite.
Even if it were for no other reason, she should have reminded Lu Jin that he was a good man with a pure heart, who would stand up to help others when he saw injustice. Miss Liu San was not worthy of him at all except for her good family background.
Furthermore, Lu Jin had been waiting outside the gate of the villa some time ago, hoping to see her. In such a short period of time, Liang Wushuang didn't believe that he would fall in love with another woman. It must be that the woman used sweet words and did it deliberately.
"Madam, why do you want to go to the teahouse again? But you forgot something, and I will go and get it." The maid spoke up when she saw that she was going to the teahouse again.
Liang Wushuang frowned, "I feel thirsty again, can't I drink tea?"
She was really fed up with the two maids around her. They would always meddle in everything she did whenever she went out. If they were not arranged by Cheng Ying, she would have sent them out of the house long ago and picked two obedient maids to serve them.
The two maids had no choice but to follow her back into the teahouse. Liang Wushuang looked at every table in the lobby on the first floor, but did not see Lu Jin and Miss Liu San and the others.
She thought that after Miss Liu San left the rouge shop, she just said a few words to the female waiter and didn't waste much time, so she should still be in the teahouse, so she lifted her skirt and went to the second floor.
At this moment, a waiter at the tea table nearby tripped over something and bumped into Liang Wushuang.
The waiter was still holding the teapot in his hand, and Liang Wushuang's face suddenly changed. Fortunately, the two maids beside her were quick-witted and protected her. The waiter bumped into the maid, and the scalding tea poured all over the maid. The teapot fell to the ground, and porcelain pieces mixed with tea splashed everywhere.
Liang Wushuang was startled. After a moment of shock, he turned cold and scolded the guy who was still lying on the ground, "What do you do? Don't you have eyes?"
The guy happened to be lying on the broken porcelain pieces, his knees and palms were scratched by the broken porcelain pieces, and his body was wet. He apologized to Liang Wushuang repeatedly, "I'm really sorry, I don't know what I was tripped by, I didn't mean to bump into you, please forgive me."
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed the shopkeeper, who came over and helped the clerk up from the ground, saying with a smile, "My servant was careless, don't be angry, young lady. I will ask someone to buy some clothes for your maid and send them over."
The shopkeeper looked at the maid who was soaked by the tea and said, "The tea is hot. I'll have someone take the girl to rinse it with cold water first. I have burn ointment in my room. The girl should treat the injury caused by the hot tea first, otherwise it will become more serious if you delay."
Liang Wushuang snorted coldly. She didn't want Lu Jin to see her losing her temper because he was upstairs. So she said to the maid beside her, "Go and take care of the injury first."
The maid originally thought that Liang Wushuang would not care about her burns, but after hearing this, she was filled with gratitude and followed the maid called by the shopkeeper to the room to apply medicine.
Liang Wushuang glanced at the waiter with a cold face and said to the shopkeeper, "Why don't you kick out such a useless waiter? Do you know who I am? If the tea was poured on me today, you wouldn't have to open this teahouse!"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed, but he was concerned about Liang Wushuang's identity, fearing that she was really a royal relative.
At this moment, someone at the tea table nearby said, "Girl, calm down. This guy was pouring tea for me and bumped into me. I have to apologize to you."
Liang Wushuang looked at the woman who spoke and saw that she was wearing an exquisite dress and was well dressed. There were two maids beside her. It was obvious that she was a lady from a wealthy family.
"This is the Tianji ointment made from snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains in the far north. I'm giving it to the maidservant beside the girl. No matter it's a burn or a scar, after applying it, the skin will be restored to be as smooth as cream and as delicate as a baby's." Yang Jiyan took out an exquisite jade bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Liang Wushuang with a smile.
