Chapter 189 Sir Lu, if you have something to say, please speak directly
Seeing Qingshu so excited, Manager Zhao was a little confused.
"I don't know either. It was Su Lan who gave it to me and asked me to return it to the master."
Qingshu was about to ask something when Lu Sui spoke up.
"Bring the things here."
Qingshu hurriedly handed over the box in his hand.
Lu Sui took it and put it aside, then looked up at Shopkeeper Zhao: "Is there anything else?"
"Master, the cook Sulan told me today that she won't be going to Wanhelou tomorrow. If it were someone else, they would just not go and we could just hire someone else. But she's such a great cook, two of her dishes have even become our signature dishes, and many VIPs come just for them. And she suddenly said she's quitting, this..."
Lu Sui paused while drinking tea.
"Why doesn't she do it?"
"I asked her specifically, but she refused to speak frankly, so I couldn't press her any further."
Lu Sui nodded to indicate that he understood.
After Manager Zhao left, Lu Sui put down the teacup, looked at the rosewood box beside him, and raised his hand to open it.
The box that originally contained only hairpins was now filled with banknotes.
Qingshu, who was standing beside him, saw this and blinked: "Master, did you give the girl a banknote?"
Lu Sui ignored him, stared at the stack of banknotes for a while, and suddenly picked it up and threw it into Qingshu's arms.
The deep voice was filled with obvious anger.
"Go and bring Sulan to me."

In the house in Chunmen Lane.
Ever since Jiang Yueyao moved out, Sulan and Aunt Chun's daily meals have been very simple.
For dinner, she made some white porridge and two stir-fried vegetables. After a simple meal, she sat by the brazier in the house and did some needlework.
It gets dark early in winter. It’s completely dark just after dinner.
The two were doing needlework and chatting when they suddenly heard some noise in the yard. Their faces changed at the same time. Before they could go out to check, a clear voice was heard.
"Sister Lan, Aunt Chun, are you there? I'm Qingshu."
When they heard it was 'Qingshu', their faces relaxed immediately.
Sulan hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked out. With the help of the lantern under the corridor, she looked at Qingshu who came in from outside and greeted him with a smile.
"It's the butler. Why are you here at this time? What's the matter?"
Qingshu walked up to her, smiling and speaking in a gentle voice.
"Sister Lan, have you had dinner yet? If you have nothing else to do right now, come with me to the Regent's Palace. The master wants to see you."
When she heard that Lu Sui wanted to see her.
Sulan didn't refuse.
Although Yaoyao and Lord Lu are no longer in contact, Lord Lu has really helped them. Not only did he save the girl several times, he also gave them such a nice house to live in, saving them from being displaced and allowing them to live a very stable and comfortable life.
So in Sulan's heart, Lu Sui is a good person.
He was sure that he would not hurt her, so he followed Qingshu.
Because she left in a hurry and didn't explain clearly to Aunt Chun, as a result, as soon as she followed Qingshu out the door, Aunt Chun hurried to the Shen family.
Jiang Yueyao was sitting on the couch learning embroidery, thinking of embroidering a pair of insoles for her father and mother.
She was okay at making clothes, but asking her to embroider butterflies or flowers was like killing her.
Look, my finger was pricked by the needle again.
She was about to put it in her mouth and suck it when Amber lifted the curtain and walked in.
"Miss, Aunt Chun from Chunmen Lane is here. She said she has something urgent to discuss with you."
Jiang Yueyao subconsciously glanced outside.
It's already dark outside. Aunt Chun coming here at this time must mean something bad has happened.
She quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand and said quickly, "Quick, ask her to come in."
As he spoke, he got off the couch, put on his soft shoes and went to the door.
Aunt Chun walked in behind Amber.
As soon as he saw Jiang Yueyao, he spoke anxiously: "Yaoyao, it's bad, Sulan was taken away by Lord Lu's people."
----
As soon as Sulan arrived at the Regent's Palace, Jiang Yueyao followed.
When Qing Shule happily walked into the study, he looked at the man sitting behind the desk and his brows lit up with joy.
"Master, the girl is here."
Lu Sui didn't seem surprised at all.
Su Lan, who was standing aside, turned around and looked towards the study door when she heard Jiang Yueyao coming.
Soon, there was movement there, and the girl's arrogant and angry voice came: "Qingxuan, why are you following me? Can I still kill people and set fire to the Regent's Palace?"
"Heh... what a regent! He bullies others by taking advantage of his power and arresting people whenever he wants..."
Sulan listened as she spoke, which became more and more outrageous.
He hurriedly stepped forward to meet him.
"Yaoyao..."
Jiang Yueyao, who was cursing fiercely, looked up and saw Sulan coming out of the study.
Seeing her coming out, he immediately ran over, grabbed Su Lan's hand, and said anxiously: "Sister Lan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Lord Lu just asked me to ask a few questions. Don't worry." Sulan said in a low voice.
Jiang Yueyao said, "How can I not be worried? I'm so worried. It's so late, and the person was suddenly taken away."
She glanced at the open study door and deliberately raised her voice.
"Is there anything you can't ask during the day? Why do you have to ask in the middle of the night? It's freezing cold, and you're running around while I'm staying warm..."
Qingshu couldn't bear to listen any longer.
He hurried out.
Smile along.
"You are right, young lady. I was inconsiderate. Next time I will put a charcoal stove in the carriage so that it won't be cold."
Jiang Yueyao choked.
She snorted, "Are you done questioning? I'm going to take Sister Lan back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure came out of the study.
He stood on the steps, looking at Jiang Yueyao standing in the yard in the light of the lanterns under the eaves.
His thin lips were slightly parted, and his voice was deep and magnetic.
"Are you cold after all this travel? Do you want to come in and warm up?"
“…”
Jiang Yueyao looked at his left cheek first.
She remembered that day when her father punched her and Lu Sui's face turned red for a long time. He had a fair complexion and was particularly frightened.
Seeing that she was staring at his face, Lu Sui walked down the stairs, stopped in front of her, and suddenly leaned over.
Jiang Yueyao was so scared that she pulled Sulan aside.
"what you do?"
Lu Sui maintained a slightly bent posture, gently raised his eyelids, his eyes fell on her tense little face, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow.
"Isn't that what you want to see?"
"I just wanted you to see more clearly."
Jiang Yueyao immediately turned her face away, with a stern expression: "Who wants to look at you? Lord Lu really likes to flatter himself."
Lu Sui straightened up.
Put your hands behind your back.
His eyes remained fixed on her face.
"Come on, come in and have a cup of hot tea. I just want to ask you something."
Jiang Yueyao remained unmoved.
"It's getting late, Lord Lu, if you have anything to say, please just say it. I can take Sister Lan back after you finish speaking."
Seeing her like this, Lu Sui was not angry.
Nodding slightly.
Speak directly.
"Miss Jiang has now transformed herself into the second daughter of the Zhenguo Duke's family. With a distinguished status, does this mean that the vows she made in the past are no longer valid?"
