Chapter 14 Jiang Yuzhu, You're Finished
By the lake, Hongli was arguing with the servant Liang An. She put one hand on her waist and pointed at Liang An angrily with the other.
Liang An relied on his status as the master's servant and usually treated Hong Li, the maidservant, completely disrespectful in the mansion.
Red Carp will not let go of this rare opportunity.
The two men fought from the lakeside to the blue brick road, and the battle continued to escalate.
Hongli's cheeks turned red with anger at Liang An, and she was ready to take action.
Seeing this, Liang An begged for mercy: "Stop, this is the Wei Mansion! It is said that a gentleman should talk, not fight, so hold back!"
Hongli sneered: "Are you giving in now? Weren't you very tough just now?"
The lady said that she was not a gentleman, but a little woman.
If you can take action, don't talk too much; it will only waste your breath and cause trouble.
The red carp moved forward, while Liang An kept backing away with a bitter look on his face.
He forgot that this girl was the Madam's maid and was not a reasonable person!
The lively fight between Hongli and Liang'an made Jiang Yuzhu and Xie Zhao by the lake seem particularly lonely.
Jiang Yuzhu thought Xie Zhao would mention her secret meeting with Feng Qing that night, or at least ask about it.
After waiting for a long time, Xie Zhao didn't mention it.
It seems that the description of the male protagonist in the book is correct.
Xie Zhao was extremely indifferent to love affairs between men and women. He was devoted to his career and cared about the people of the world.
He has great love in his heart, and the love between men and women is nothing more than personal desire, which is too restrictive for him.
Xie Zhao stared at the lake calmly, his eyes calm and collected. "My cousin is coming to stay in the capital for a while. I'm sorry to bother you, Madam."
He was curious about how Jiang Yuzhu defeated Princess Yutan, but he didn't want to bother to find out.
As long as the Xie Mansion does not catch fire and the houses are still there, Xie Zhao can survive.
He doesn't care about the rumors.
Xie Zhao was polite, so Jiang Yuzhu treated him as her roommate. The two of them played their own games and neither touched the other's bottom line, so they lived in peace with each other.
"Xie's house is too big, and I am usually alone here. My cousin can come and keep me company."
Jiang Yuzhu originally meant that she didn't mind Shen Zhilan entering the house, and as long as Xie Zhao asked, there was nothing wrong with taking a concubine.
There are many concubines, so they play mahjong together.
It’s best to find a wealthy concubine. Jiang Yuzhu is very good at playing mahjong!
Jiang Yuzhu thought her hint was obvious enough, but Xie Zhao suddenly looked up and said with deep eyes, "Madam, do you dislike me for often staying out all night?"
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
Why not play by the rules? Is that what she meant?
Originally, the couple respected each other and were ready to say goodbye after some business exchanging, but now they have to explain more.
"You are a pillar of the Qi Dynasty, busy with government affairs every day and working hard. I am just reminding you to take care of your health."
If Xie Zhao died, Jiang Yuzhu would lose a supporter, but she could be a happy widow.
For a moment, she was a little confused.
Thinking of the male protagonist's halo, Jiang Yuzhu decided not to curse Xie Zhao anymore.
In comparison, Xie Zhao's life is more valuable.
Xie Zhao concealed the interest in his eyes, paused for a while and said: "Since Madam dislikes the emptiness of the mansion, I will try my best to go back after leaving the government office."
Jiang Yuzhu: “…”
I swear to God, that’s not what she meant!
Jiang Yuzhu's face froze and she curled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.
Xie Zhao caught a glimpse of her expression and felt inexplicably satisfied.
It was getting late, and Jiang Yuzhu didn't want to be alone with Xie Zhao, so she hurriedly fled with Hongli.
Even though she is acting like a bitch, she still feels a little pressure when facing the male lead.
The main reason was that there was nothing good going on with Xie Zhao. There were too many women in the capital who admired him. It was so tasteless to make enemies for a man like that!
In the open space by the lake, all the ladies were listening to the opera attentively.
Suddenly, a scream was heard: "Ah, look, there seems to be someone in the lake!"
A young lady pointed at the lake and was so scared that she almost fainted.
After the scream, the noise from the stage stopped abruptly.
Madam Wei stood up, looking extremely serious.
Today is her birthday party. If someone dies and we can't explain it, it would be extremely unlucky!
Just as everyone was in a panic, the steward of the other courtyard came running over in a hurry: "Madam, the Queen Mother has arrived!"
Prime Minister Wei was an important official of the Great Qi Dynasty. The fact that the Queen Mother came to the other courtyard to attend the birthday banquet was a great honor for the Wei family.
Madam Wei's face turned pale, and she immediately said, "Quickly welcome the Queen Mother to the waterside pavilion."
Stay away from this place so that it will be easier to cover up if anything unexpected happens.
The steward of the other courtyard shook his head and said, "It's too late, the Queen Mother has already arrived!"
As they were talking, a luxurious BMW car pulled up to the lake.
Madam Wei felt bitter, and hurriedly led everyone forward to kneel and said, "We respectfully welcome the Queen Mother to live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"
The Queen Mother was dressed in her daily clothes. She was helped down from the carriage by the maids. She said with a smile, "Today I am here to celebrate the birthday. How can I let the birthday boy kneel before me? Stand up."
After saying this, the Queen Mother saw Princess Yutan and hurriedly called her to her side.
"Yuzhu is here too."
The empress dowager was in her early forties, well-maintained, with a majesty in her eyes and eyebrows.
This was the first time Jiang Yuzhu met the Queen Mother after traveling through the book. The Queen Mother had a noble temperament and was much kinder than in the TV series.
The Queen Mother called her by name, which was to give her respect. Jiang Yuzhu looked at her and stood to the side of Princess Yutan.
At this moment, the boat responsible for salvaging from the lake has reached the shore.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and when Wei Jing saw the person, her eyes widened in disbelief: "It's Sister Qingxue!"
The person who was drowning was Lu Qingxue, the daughter of the Lu family!
Madam Wei was devastated. Not only did her worst fear happen, but it also happened right under the Empress Dowager's nose.
If this matter is not handled properly, the entire Wei family will be convicted.
Faced with such a scene, the Queen Mother remained calm. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Bi Cui, go and see if the person is still alive?"
The palace maid Beatui agreed, touched Lu Qingxue's neck with her hand, and finally shook her head.
"Miss, Miss, why are you so depressed?"
Lu Qingxue's maid Lvliu rushed out and lay on Lu Qingxue's body, crying loudly, completely ignoring the presence of the Queen Mother.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother's face darkened and she asked, "What's going on?"
It was a happy birthday banquet at the Wei Mansion, but ended up with a loss of life.
The Queen Mother didn't care about the dead. It was really unlucky for her to see such a scene as soon as she arrived at the Wei Mansion.
Wei Jing stepped forward, her eyes red as she comforted Lvliu: "Lvliu, the Queen Mother is here. If your young lady has suffered any injustice, someone will take charge!"
Lvliu was still in a daze. After getting the reminder, she rushed to the empress dowager like a fly and kowtowed to her. After more than ten kowtows, her forehead was already red and swollen.
The Queen Mother asked absentmindedly, "What's going on?"
Luliu raised her head and glanced at Jiang Yuzhu first.
Princess Yutan was the first to receive the signal and whispered, "Jiang Yuzhu, you're done."
Before her death, Lu Qingxue had a big fight with Jiang Yuzhu in public.
Now that the person is dead, it is most appropriate to put the blame on Jiang Yuzhu.
Although Princess Yutan felt that Jiang Yuzhu was not entirely to blame for this matter, it was extremely difficult to clear her suspicion.
"Jiang Yuzhu, if I help you, how about we write off the previous things?"
Princess Yutan lowered her voice and said, "Forget about the apology and the compensation."
Princess Yutan seduced, and she was the only one present who had a say in front of the Queen Mother.
