Chapter 72 The Second Master Slapped Her
He knew his sister well. If there was anyone in the Lu family who was the most impatient, it would be Lu Wanrou, so this was very likely.
Lu Changqing was extremely conflicted. One was the woman he loved most, and the other was his own sister. What could he do?
"I think Sister Wanrou's mistake was unintentional, Second Master, please don't be angry." Fang Qianxue said softly, "The most important thing right now is to cure Miss Xu's body, don't you think?"
"You should go to bed early. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lu Changqing stood up and hurried out the door.
A cool breeze blew in from the door. Fang Qianxue stroked the teacup in her hand, looking at the man's receding back, knowing that she had truly let go of this relationship.
When Lu Changqing first brought Xu back, she was full of grievances and sadness, but now no matter what this man does, it can't affect her emotions.
Sometimes she pretended to be angry just to provoke him.
These days, Fang Qianxue watched Lu Changqing and Xu Miaoyan flirting and making a fuss, and she seemed to understand the man's thoughts. He had just been living a dull life for too long and wanted to find some excitement, and Xu Miaoyan's behavior just happened to give him some excitement.
Although Xu hadn't done anything good these days and instead brought bad reputation to Lu Changqing, he was still willing to worry about Xu.
Fang Qianxue smiled faintly: Since Lu Changqing wants excitement, she will give him a crazy and life-threatening excitement.
"Madam!" Cui Shuang walked in and said as she helped Fang Qianxue remove her makeup, "I just heard from Chenggong, who was beside the Second Master, that after the Second Master left Meihuaao, he went to Wenwan Courtyard. Guess what happened?"
"What's the matter?"
"The Second Master and Miss Wanrou had a fight! The Second Master slapped her in the face and threatened to kick her out." Cui Shuang laughed, "I heard that the Second Master wanted her to apologize to Xu and admit that she was the one who spread the news of Xu's pregnancy, but Miss Wanrou refused to admit it and said that the Second Master wronged her."
"With her personality, I wonder what kind of family she will marry into in the future." Fang Qianxue took off her earrings. "A few days ago, it seems that the Du family sent someone to propose marriage?"
In the original book, after Lu Wanrou failed to pursue Jiang Xu, she fell in love with Du Jinzhi's brother, Du Jinbao, the son of the Minister of Personnel. Du Jinbao's wife was pregnant, and he wanted to take a concubine, so Lu Wanrou became Du Jinbao's concubine.
After the male protagonist became rich, Du Jinbao still gave face to Lu Wanrou and doted on her and her son. However, Lu Wanrou herself was not ambitious enough and later she entangled with Jiang Xu and was thrown into a pig cage.
Lu Wanrou's stupidity is used to highlight the heroine's intelligence.
"We sent a matchmaker, but the old lady didn't agree." Cui Shuang combed her hair with a wooden comb. "Miss Wanrou is probably still thinking about the young marquis."
"It's okay to think about it, but people have to face the reality, otherwise they will get hurt." Fang Qianxue took out the key, opened the drawer of the dressing table, and took out a gold hairpin with Sanskrit characters wrapped in red silk.
Cui Shuang asked in surprise, "Why did you take out this hairpin again? Didn't you say you wouldn't wear it anymore?"
She still remembered that the lady had changed a lot since she stopped wearing the hairpin, and she couldn't tell why.
People say that some things can bring good luck, and perhaps this gold hairpin is one of those things. After the lady stopped wearing this hairpin, her luck improved, and more importantly, she turned from a weak person into a strong person.
Cui Shuang felt safer staying with Fang Qianxue than before.
"It's not me who wants to wear it, but you should grind this hairpin blunt, tie it with a red string and let Yao'er and Yuan'er wear it around their necks." Fang Qianxue gently stroked the Sanskrit words on the hairpin, "There is only one hairpin, so let them each wear it for a day."
"Why do you want to wear this hairpin?" Cui Shuang took the hairpin in confusion, "Wouldn't it be better to ask someone to make two new gold collars?"
"This hairpin can ward off evil and protect the body. I'll feel more at ease if I give it to the two children." She roughly estimated in her mind that Lu Changqing would probably take action against the two children in a few days.
The day he attacks the two children will be the day for her to escape and fly high!
Fang Qianxue was waiting for that day, but she was afraid that something might really happen to the two children.
"Yes!" Cui Shuang put the hairpin into her sleeve pocket, "I will tie the red string myself tomorrow."
***
The pine sound is in the middle.
Lu Changqing had just returned from court, humming a little tune.
At first he couldn't even raise his head when he went out, but in the past few days his good mood has gradually returned.
Today, Emperor Ming officially asked him to go to the Supervisory Office to fill in Lu Changli's vacancy, and soon the three offices will be able to try the Fang family's case. Although he has offended the Yang family, the old emperor has been very fond of him these days, and said that if he tries the case well, he will be directly promoted to the Minister of Personnel.
The editor of the Hanlin Academy is of the sixth rank, the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate is of the fifth rank, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel is of the fifth rank. This is a promotion by skipping grades, which he had never dared to think about before.
I thought that the old emperor would punish the Lu family after the incident of the Silkworm Ceremony, but I didn't expect that the emperor would just put the empress under house arrest and even promoted him. The emperor's heart is really unpredictable.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw that the lights in Xu Miaoyan's room were bright and I could hear a man talking.
Lu Changqing called a little girl, "Liansheng, what's going on in Miss Xu's room? Is there a guest?"
Xu Miaoyan had just had a miscarriage and was weak, who could it be?
"My Lord, Miss Xu has invited Taoist priest Tianjizi from the Wanxian Palace to treat her illness," the little maid replied. "Taoist priest Tianjizi is performing a ritual in the room."
"How to do it?" Lu Changqing was surprised for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
He walked into the house and found it filled with smoke and a strong smell of incense.
"Cough... cough cough! Miao Yan, what are you doing?" Lu Changqing had never seen any Taoist priests or monks before, but he had heard of the name of Wanxian Palace. It was said to be a very famous Taoist temple on the outskirts of Shangjing.
A thin old Taoist stood beside Xu Miaoyan, holding a talisman paper and muttering something. Then he hung the talisman paper folded into a triangle on the head of the bed, and then turned around to look at Lu Changqing.
"I asked Taoist priest Tianjizi to come and see me. He is an otherworldly master." Xu Miaoyan was still in a very low mood. Her almond-shaped eyes were red, and she looked like she had just cried.
When she learned that she had damaged the woman's foundation and would never be able to get pregnant again, she burst into tears. Later, when she learned that the Lu family had postponed the wedding date, Xu Miaoyan could no longer hold back and burst out.
The crying and making a fuss took a lot of his energy away, and the doctor said the situation was worse than before.
Lu Changqing thought that Xu would still quarrel with him when she came back today, but unexpectedly, she was surprisingly quiet today, even giving people a feeling of desperate efforts.
"Master." Lu Changqing bowed to the old Taoist priest, and then he realized that the old Taoist priest had a pointed face and monkey-like appearance, and did not look like a real person.
"Lord Lu." The old Taoist priest returned the greeting, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Lu Changqing walked over and sat on the edge of Xu Miaoyan's couch, and asked, "Master, have you figured it out? How is Miaoyan's health?"
