Chapter 149: Something in the Lake
"Go pick out that gorgeous goose-yellow dress embroidered with Tencel silk, and prepare two more spare sets."
Chu Jiuning stood up and walked to the lakeside. Seeing the koi swimming leisurely, she grabbed a handful of fish food and sprinkled it down. Looking at their fat bodies swimming slowly and their lazily opening their mouths to eat slowly, she gave them a faint instruction.
tomorrow.
She's going to dress up.
"Okay, I'll get ready right away."
Nanny Hong turned around to pick out things for tomorrow's use, and Chu Jiuning asked someone to invite Yang Heming over.
Yang Heming learned from Cheng Yanzhi that Chu Jiuning was really planning to destroy the Lu Mansion for him, and his heart has been restless. When he heard that she invited him, he came over immediately.
Ever since he went to Jiangzhou and witnessed the bloody storm, the moments of life and death, and the loyalty of colleagues, Yang Heming's previous bookish aura had long disappeared.
Transformation is a very difficult thing for a person, but once he has experienced life and death, he will become a different person overnight.
Chu Jiuning looked at Yang Heming with some joy. He was wearing a purple robe and his brows were firm and no longer soft, and said to him.
"Sit down, brother."
Yang Heming sat down confidently, his brows full of love and gratitude for Chu Jiuning.
"I've already entered the Zhan family's residence. Jiu Ning, I'm a little embarrassed to ask you, my sister, for help again and again, but since we're family, there's no need to be pretentious."
"That's what my brother said."
Chu Jiuning laughed, and Amber served snacks and tea with a smile, then listened to Yang Heming talk about what happened in Jiangzhou. When she heard him say that he had a narrow escape when cleaning up those people, Amber couldn't help but stepped forward and asked.
"Master Yang, can someone as powerful as this servant be of any use on the battlefield?"
Yang Heming was stunned at first, then nodded heavily.
"Of course, that would be extremely useful. After all, it's very likely that among a hundred thousand people, there might only be one person as strong as you. You can flip the enemy's horse over with your bare hands, and you can also capture the enemy's general with your bare hands."
Amber's eyes lit up when she heard this. When she looked at Chu Jiuning, she seemed to want to say something but didn't.
Chu Jiuning looked at her and felt a slight sinking in his heart.
Amber wants to join the army!
She wants to contribute to her country.
Seeing a girl as young as her going to the battlefield, Chu Jiuning felt torn in her heart.
Now life is a little more stable, and I am thinking of taking them to live a better life.
"I think."
She lowered her eyes and thought about it.
"I'm afraid that a war between the Great Dynasty and Linghao Kingdom will come sooner or later. After all, the compensation that the Song Mansion was supposed to pay hasn't arrived, and Song Jinhuai hasn't apologized. I heard that there's serious internal strife in the royal family over there, and the Crown Prince will definitely want to make military achievements to gain the support of the world. When the time comes, our Crown Prince may have to lead the army himself. If you want to go to the battlefield, you can go with His Royal Highness."
"If you have any military merit, I will free you from slavery and you can go on your own."
"real?"
A smile suddenly spread across Amber's face.
She originally thought.
How should she tell the young lady about this? But the young lady immediately knew what she was thinking and allowed her to go to the battlefield.
She really wanted to go into battle and kill the enemy. Since she had such an advantage, she should contribute.
But it doesn’t matter whether she gets rid of her slave status or not, because she will follow the lady for the rest of her life anyway.
"kindness."
Chu Jiuning smiled at her, and then talked to Yang Heming.
"The Lu family will be destroyed sooner or later. As for the next prime minister, you should think about who is the most suitable one to be promoted."
"Yes, I know."
then.
The two chatted about some family matters, and then Yang Heming left.
The second day.
Because he went to Lu's Mansion for revenge, Chu Jiuning got up neither early nor late. After finishing all his things slowly, he got into his BMW and drove through the city. In the bright and warm sunshine, he arrived at Lu's Mansion.
The ladies and young ladies from various families had already arrived and were playing in groups of three or five.
Prince An sat alone in the pavilion, drinking wine slowly and looking at the fish in the lake, his body cold.
now.
After Prince Jing died, his fiefdom was taken away and the Queen Mother was imprisoned. The Prince Jing's Mansion, which was once revered by everyone, has now become the residence of Prince An, a place that no one cares about.
No one came forward to greet him, and no one went to have a drink with him.
Even if someone looked at him, it was full of ridicule.
Chu Jiuning was extremely beautiful and elegant. When she slowly appeared, she attracted almost everyone's attention.
The eyes of the young ladies from the aristocratic families fell on her luxurious clothes, her priceless hairpins, and her beautiful face.
Everyone clenched the handkerchief in their hand, and the smiles on their faces became unnatural.
one person.
He is rich and pretty, and he wants to step on all of them.
Prince An naturally saw her at first sight, and the cup in his hand shattered.
He looked at Chu Jiuning.
When my heart started pounding, I realized that I was still alive.
Chu Jiuning gave the gift to Lu Fuyu, who accepted it indifferently, looking at her with a defensive and cold look. She didn't want to invite Chu Jiuning, but the maid was right. If Chu Jiuning was not invited, Prince An would not come at all.
but.
Lu Fuyu sneered in his heart.
Prince An is no longer the Prince An of the past. Could she still like him now?
There are so many powerful people in the world, and she is not stubborn.
She now felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the real hero. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that she liked and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that she wanted to marry. With her father around, the Crown Prince would not dare not marry her.
She certainly had her own purpose in inviting Prince An and Chu Jiuning.
As long as she moves her fingers.
Put these two people together... As long as they succeed, even if Chu Jiuning has desires for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid there will be no hope.
Just right.
Doesn’t Prince An like Chu Jiuning?
Then she would do a good deed and help this couple get together.
Chu Jiuning glanced at the garden indifferently, and did not go to greet Prince An. She just found a relatively quiet place and sat down.
"Miss, she's here."
The maid beside Lu Fuyu came forward and spoke softly. Lu Fuyu nodded with a cold face. One of them sat on the east side and the other sat on the west side, which was not easy to deal with. She turned her eyebrows slightly and handed a glass of wine to the maid.
"Send it over and tell him that Miss Chu treated him to a drink. Although it's inconvenient to meet in the future, we're still friends."
The maid smiled and hurriedly did as she was told.
When Prince An took the wine, the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
He could still see through this little trick, so he drank it all in one gulp, his face as gloomy as if a storm was about to come.
Okay.
Just consider it a gift from her.
Drinking this way will make you feel better.
Lu Fuyu stood aside and watched coldly. Seeing that Prince An did not get up to look for Chu Jiuning, she stomped her feet in anger.
Gritted his teeth.
She turned and walked towards Chu Jiuning.
"Miss Chu, I didn't expect you to come. Thank you very much."
Lu Fuyu held up the wine and thanked her with a smile. Chu Jiuning also smiled and drank a glass with her. When her eyes fell on Lu Yungui who was chatting happily with the young masters in the distance, she asked Lu Fuyu.
"I didn't plan to come, but I've been having this dream lately."
"What dream?"
Lu Fuyu didn't expect her to be so frank, and her face darkened. Chu Jiuning met her curious eyes and then spoke lightly.
"I dreamed that there were many wronged souls in the Lu Mansion. They kept crying and seemed very scared. Each one was very young and had many wounds on their bodies. Some of them looked like they had been eaten by something."
"What?"
Lu Fuyu stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed fiercely, then he quickly calmed down, sat back down, and said while covering his heart.
"That's impossible. My father is a powerful and righteous man. Even if there are evil creatures, they can't enter our house. Moreover, we invite high monks to chant sutras and cleanse the entire mansion every year. Could these dreams Miss Chu have had be something she wants to do to us?"
Chu Jiuning listened to her eloquence and smiled.
"I'm a person who likes to be straightforward. I find it troublesome to play dirty."
Finished.
Chu Jiuning put down the cup in her hand, leaned over and looked at Lu Fuyu.
Lu Fuyu was shocked.
Subconsciously took a step back.
"In my dream, I saw wronged souls floating around your Lu Mansion, and most of them were young women."
"nonsense."
Lu Fuyu's face turned pale and he became anxious.
"Miss Chu, if you attend the banquet properly, I welcome you. If you want to cause trouble, please leave immediately."
Finished.
Lu Fuyu quickly glanced towards Prince An.
really.
When Prince An heard them arguing, he quickly stood up and walked over here.
Although she no longer liked Prince An, Lu Fuyu was still furious when she saw his reaction to Chu Jiuning, and her face became increasingly uglier.
"Jiu Ning."
Prince An's face was gloomy. He stood beside Chu Jiuning and looked at Lu Fuyu coldly, which made her want to vomit blood.
She had devoted several years of hard work to Prince An, but had not received even a single response from him. However, Chu Jiuning got it without any effort.
"What's going on?"
Chu Jiuning told him what happened in her dream. Prince An looked at Lu Fuyu coldly. Lu Fuyu turned his eyes slightly, walked forward and forced a smile.
"It was just a dream. I'll send someone to investigate. Prince An, Miss Chu, it's rare for us to have a peaceful chat and a drink like this."
Prince An and Chu Jiuning looked at each other, and Prince An pointed at Lu Yungui.
"Perhaps we can ask Young Master Lu about this matter."
Lu Fuyu felt a chill in her heart and looked at her brother in panic. Chu Jiuning put the two antidote pills in her hand into the wine of herself and Prince An.
Then.
The three of them each picked up the wine in front of them.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Lu Fuyu's smile deepened, and he spoke in a rare friendly manner.
"You guys sit down and chat, I'll go say hello to the other sisters."
After getting up.
Lu Fuyu said to the maid again.
"You stay here and serve Miss Chu and Prince An."
otherwise.
Soon the effects of the alcohol took effect and there was no one to lead them to where they should go, so the show became difficult to perform.
"yes."
The maid understood and stood not far behind Chu Jiuning.
Chu Jiuning smiled and said to Prince An.
"How about we take a walk along the lake and talk?"
They all knew that there was something in the wine, and Prince An also knew that Chu Jiuning had put the antidote in. Lu Fuyu was just waiting for them to attack, so he nodded, and the two of them walked towards the lake together.
Lu Yungui turned his head to look at Lu Fuyu. Lu Fuyu's eyes were filled with smiles. She raised her hand to adjust the hairpin on her temples and smiled.
Lu Yungui looked at Chu Jiuning's slim figure, and a hint of evil flashed in his eyes.
What a pity.
Once the meat is in your mouth, it will fly out.
After drinking the wine in his hand, Lu Yungui patted his brother's shoulder and raised his chin.
Everyone looked towards Chu Jiuning's graceful back, and Lu Yungui leaned back.
"I really don't want to accept this. I'm just a merchant. Is it that difficult to get one?"
"I heard that Prince An likes her very much."
Not only that, her status among the common people is far higher than that of a lady from a noble family. If she were to make any move, there would probably be no good results.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also very fond of her."
Several young masters shook their heads.
This person still can't move.
When she came out, her parents told her that no one should touch Chu Jiuning. Although she currently does not have any title, her status is far better than that of a princess.
"Yun Gui, forget it."
Someone advised Lu Yun to return.
Lu Yungui was not convinced after hearing this. He stood up with a cold face and chased after Chu Jiuning and Prince An.
"Are you planning to leave the capital?"
Chu Jiuning asked Prince An, they probably wouldn't receive any good treatment in the capital, even if they still retained the title of prince, because the wealthy families in the capital were the most opportunistic.
"It depends on what Mother wants. If she wants to leave, then she can leave."
Prince An's eyes were as black as ice as he looked into the distance.
"Lü Fuyu wants to frame you and me?"
"kindness."
Chu Jiuning nodded and glanced at the lake beside her.
"There are many female corpses in this lake. I want to eliminate the Lu family."
"so?"
Prince An was about to go into the lake, but Chu Jiuning hurriedly stopped him.
"Lü Yungui is here. Push him down and dig out the secrets in the lake while you're at it."
Prince An also saw Lu Yungui out of the corner of his eye. He was stumbling and looked like he had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.
Chu Jiuning stopped, waited for him to come closer, and smiled at him.
Lu Yungui was so shocked by Chu Jiuning's beauty that he didn't move for a long time, and just pounced straight towards Chu Jiuning.
Chu Jiuning quickly dodged.
Prince An quickly stretched out his foot, and Lu Yungui stumbled and fell forward, falling into the lake with a splash.
The maidservant didn't expect things to turn out this way. She panicked and screamed subconsciously.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the young master has fallen into the lake."
Prince An turned his head and looked at the servant beside him, and the servant immediately jumped down.
Chu Jiuning also brought enough people who knew about water.
Everyone jumped down first.
When everyone saw seven or eight people go into the water, they all ran to the shore and waited anxiously, and no one else went into the water.
However.
They don't know.
None of the people who jumped into the water were trying to save Lu Yungui. They dived down and dug deep, trying to find the body buried in the mud.
They carry special things on them that will react as long as there is a corpse.
then.
Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, the water began to surge.
Someone shouted.
"Found it, found it."
