Chapter 11 Your Pei Lang is Lord Lu’s nephew
The government office is located on West Street in Suzhou.
Jiang Yueyao's carriage stopped opposite the government office. She got out and gave instructions to the coachman.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll be out soon."
After she finished speaking, she crossed the road and just as she reached the gate of the government office, a carriage drove over. The coachman seemed not to see her and rushed straight towards her.
If she hadn't dodged in time, she would have fallen under the wheels.
Jiang Yueyao was already in a bad mood and was about to lose her temper, but when she saw it was the Fan family's carriage, she endured it and ultimately said nothing.
The Fan family's status in Sucheng is on par with that of the former Pang family.
Although the Fan family did not produce many high-ranking officials, Concubine Rou in the palace came from a branch of the Fan family.
As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone around him will benefit.
The Fan family also rose in status and became more respected in Su City.
The car curtain was lifted and a beautiful figure walked out.
Jiang Yueyao took a look and made to leave, but was stopped by the other party.
"Jiang Yueyao, what are you doing here?"
The speaker was Fan Meiyu, the second daughter of the Fan family.
If you were to ask who in Sucheng is the most hostile to Jiang Yueyao, it would be her.
When the Pang family was prosperous, Fan Meiyu showed her kindness to Pang Jinze many times, but Pang Jinze turned a blind eye and treated Jiang Yueyao differently.
Because of this reason, Fan Meiyu has been causing trouble for Jiang Yueyao many times. Every time they meet, she is even sarcastic and mocks her, and even makes up stories about her behind her back.
Opposite the Jixiang Inn is Yunyan Pavilion.
She said that she was an innkeeper during the day and worked as a prostitute in Yunyan Pavilion at night.
Because of this, Jiang Yueyao beat her once, leaving her with a black eye and a swollen face, crying for her parents.
After the beating, she became afraid again.
I was waiting for the Fan family to cause trouble, but who knew that everything would be calm and nothing would happen.
Jiang Yueyao was showing off to Liu Yunyan across from her at the time, but she rolled her eyes and called her "idiot" and went on with her business.
Even until now, she still doesn't understand why he became such an idiot while talking to her nicely?
Now, back to the topic...
Seeing that Jiang Yueyao ignored her, Fan Meiyu frowned.
"Hey, are you deaf? I'm asking you a question. What are you doing here?"
Jiang Yueyao glanced at her and said, "Is the government office your home? I come whenever I want, it's none of your business!"
"you……"
"Fan Meiyu, I'm in a bad mood today, please don't mess with me."
Jiang Yueyao said this and tried to leave, but the other party grabbed her arm.
She broke free and looked at Fan Meiyu.
But the other party laughed.
"Jiang Yueyao, you probably don't know yet, but your Pei Lang won't be coming back."
Seeing that she seemed unconvinced, Fan Meiyu moved closer to her and lowered her voice.
"Pei Yu is not an orphan at all. He is the third son of the Duke of Ying's mansion who went missing. He has now been adopted by the Duke's mansion. I heard that he has even been arranged to marry well."
Jiang Yueyao was very surprised.
"How did you know that?"
"My aunt is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and my uncle and his family are all in the capital. I will also go to the capital in the future. Naturally, I know more than a country bumpkin like you."
Jiang Yueyao nodded, ignored him, turned around and left with an expressionless face.
Seeing her like this, Fan Meiyu was surprised.
She caught up with him: "Why aren't you angry?"
"If I'm angry and sad, wouldn't that be what you want?" Jiang Yueyao sneered.
"You..." Seeing her walking towards the government office, Fan Meiyu's face changed, "Jiang Yueyao, you still haven't told me what you are doing here?"
"none of your business."
"Heh... Did you hear that the Imperial Envoy is Grand Tutor Lu and want to show your courtesy?"
Seeing that she was still moving forward, Fan Meiyu's words became even more unpleasant.
"I've seen a lot of people like you. You were abandoned by Pei Yu, and then you turned around and got involved with Pang Jinze. Now that the Pang family has fallen, you're trying to get close to Master Lu."
"Who is Master Lu?"
"He was born into the Duke of Yingguo's family and is the most distinguished prince of the family. Two years ago, he entered the cabinet and became the youngest Prime Minister of the Daye Dynasty. Furthermore, he is also the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince..."
"You're just the proprietress of a small inn, not even worthy of carrying his shoes, you..."
"What did you say?" Jiang Yueyao suddenly interrupted her, her voice urgent, "He is the prince of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion?"
"Humph, what else do you think? He comes from a noble family, how could he be like you..."
"Then Pei Yu..." Jiang Yueyao felt her hanging hands trembling slightly.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Pei Yu is now the nephew of Master Lu. You can imagine how noble Pei Yu's status is now..."
For a moment, Jiang Yueyao's mind was blank.
But soon, she was replaced by a huge sense of humiliation and anger.
She was about to go to the government office, but was stopped by Fan Meiyu again.
"Are you crazy? Lord Lu is inside. Who dares to enter?"
At this moment, Jiang Yueyao was on the verge of anger.
She stared at Fan Meiyu coldly.
“Get out of the way!”
Fan Meiyu was frightened by her eyes: "You..."
Jiang Yueyao pushed her away and was about to step forward when Qingshu walked out from the government office.
Fan Meiyu saw him first.
Recognizing him as Lu Sui's personal servant, he quickly let go of Jiang Yueyao and stepped forward to meet him.
"I'm from the Fan residence. My father heard that Lord Lu stayed up all night trying a case yesterday, so he asked me to bring some snacks for him to try."
As she spoke, she took the food box from the maid beside her and looked at Qingshu attentively.
Qingshu looked at her and smiled.
"Thank you for your kindness, but my master has always been picky about his appetite. He won't try any food from outside except the food we cook."
Fan Meiyu refused to give up: "I made all of these myself..."
"Miss Fan, please go back!" Qingshu smiled, but his voice was unquestionable.
Fan Meiyu was unwilling, but she had no choice.
She turned around and walked back, and sneered as she passed by Jiang Yueyao.
"See? Someone like me doesn't have a chance, let alone a country bumpkin like you..."
But who knew that the words had not yet fallen.
But Qingshu had already arrived in front of Jiang Yueyao.
Then she heard him say----
"Boss Jiang, please follow me. The master has been waiting for you."
Jiang Yueyao: "Thank you very much."
She followed Qingshu into the government office, while Fan Meiyu behind her looked incredulous.
"She...why does she have the right?!"
The maidservant beside her hurriedly spoke to comfort her, "I heard that Lord Lu was staying at the Jixiang Inn before."
"What?" Fan Meiyu looked surprised. "Lord Lu is staying at the Jixiang Inn?"
"So, Jiang Yueyao has known him for a long time?"
"From what I've seen, it seems to be the case."
Fan Meiyu thought of the sarcastic remarks she had made to her just now, and her face turned redder with rage.
"She just wanted to make fun of me. She was pretending so convincingly just now."
"Do you think she's very pleased?"
"Oh, what are you so proud of? No matter how proud you are, it's just something abandoned by Pei Yu, not worth showing off."
…
Qingshu led Jiang Yueyao to the study in the government office.
He saw that her face was pale all the way, but she kept frowning.
Then he expressed his concern.
"Are you feeling better?"
Jiang Yueyao replied calmly: "Thank you for your concern, I'm much better now."
Seeing that she was so polite, Qingshu thought for a moment and explained.
"The master has been interrogating prisoners these past two days and has been very busy..."
"Qingshu." Jiang Ruyue suddenly stopped.
Qingshu also stopped, he was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"The Third Master Lu that the Duke of Ying just found is the fiancé Pei Yu who wanted to kill me..." She stared at Qingshu closely, "Did your master know about this a long time ago?"
