Chapter 221 Spy
"I am not chasing you away. I just asked my wife to arrange a job for you." The Duke of England had no idea what the woman was thinking and thought she had misunderstood, so he explained patiently.
But at this time, Xu Qingyan, who was sitting next to him, noticed something strange and complained: [Oh! This woman is not simple at first glance! She just happened to be seen by the Duke and bought back home when she sold herself to bury her father. In the book, those who put spies around others like to use this method, don’t they? Especially this woman is not bad looking. Look at the way she looks at the Duke, it’s typical that she wants to seduce the Duke! The Duke is too straight! I can’t even tell this! ]
When the Duke of England heard this, his body stiffened involuntarily. He really had not thought of all these things. He just thought that the woman was pitiful and was simply standing up for her.
At this moment, when he heard Xu Qingyan say this, he looked at the woman as if she were a poisonous snake. He quickly walked to the side of the Duke's wife and sat down. With a strong desire to survive, he grabbed the Duke's wife's sleeve and said, "Madam, I just feel sorry for her. You can arrange everything as you like."
Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife glared at him, then looked at the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to be a maid in my mansion? In that case, you can leave. The Duke will just consider it a good deed today! Come on, send her out."
When the woman heard what the Duke's wife said, she was suddenly panicked. She didn't expect that her weak appearance just now could not impress the Duke of England.
So, in order to stay, she had to beg the Duke's wife honestly: "It's not like that! Madam, you misunderstood, I want to repay the Duke's kindness. Please don't chase me away, as long as I can stay in the Duke's Mansion, I will do anything."
"Really? Are you willing to do anything?" the Duchess's wife asked quietly.
The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! I'm willing to do anything."
As long as she could stay in the Duke's Mansion, she would definitely find a chance to seduce the Duke. As long as she could seduce this man, her status in the Duke's Mansion would rise. She was very confident in her beauty! But the next moment, the words of the Duke's wife almost made her collapse and scream.
"That's fine! Our house is in need of a nightshade maid, so we'll arrange for you to go there!" The Duke's wife said nonchalantly.
"Pouring night incense?" The woman thought she had heard it wrong and repeated the question in disbelief.
"Yes! Pour the night incense." The Duke's wife looked at the woman coldly.
The woman clenched her palms tightly, and looked at the Duke of England with tears in her eyes. She didn't want to ruin the night, so she pleaded, "Duke, Madam, can I serve you or clean the yard?"
However, the Duke of Yingguo turned a deaf ear to her. His wife sneered, "The servants who can enter the courtyard of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion to serve the master have all been trained, and there is no shortage of people. Even the servants who clean the courtyard have worked in the mansion for several years. You are a newcomer. If you don't want to serve the night incense, then leave!"
"No...no, Madam, I...I do." Seeing that the Duke's wife was trying to drive her away, the woman became anxious and had to agree.
Xu Qingyan watched the Duke's wife's actions and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Her mother-in-law was really interesting! With the addition of the beauties sent by the King of Qin last time, the team of night incense pouring in the Duke's Mansion was even more lively.
At the same time, Pei Jingyuan was getting antsy in his courtyard. Ever since he learned that Prince Yu was demoted, he had been feeling uneasy. The emperor had not announced the real reason for punishing Prince Yu. After all, if he did, many ministers would probably write petitions to execute Prince Yu. After all, he was his own son, so the emperor still wanted to spare his life.
But Pei Jingyuan could roughly guess that this must be related to the Soul Devouring Gu, otherwise the emperor would not have punished Prince Yu for no reason. What he didn't understand was why this would happen after the Soul Devouring Gu was used on the emperor? Was there something wrong with the Gu, or was it discovered when they used the Gu? He had no idea.
But now, Prince Yu and the Sixth Prince had lost hope of becoming the heir, and except for Prince Qin, the other princes were too young, so he didn't know who else he could use. So, he had to go find Liu Rumeng.
"Mother, what do you think we should do now? The King of Qin is in cahoots with my eldest brother. The King of Qin is not as bad-behaved as the King of Yu and the others. We naturally cannot rely on him." Pei Jingyuan frowned and looked at Liu Rumeng and asked.
At this time, after being imprisoned, Liu Rumeng's entire quality of life declined and she looked much more haggard. After listening to Pei Jingyuan's description of the outside world, she couldn't make up her mind for a moment. She could only say: "How about... I should go see the Regent again! Ask his opinion. Now we are in the Duke of England's mansion, and we really can't get any benefits. If we continue like this, it's not a solution. Go and ask the Regent if he has any good plans. However, Jingyuan needs you to help mother escape. There are people watching over her here."
"Okay! However, my son also wants to meet the regent, is that okay?" Pei Jingyuan nodded and agreed.
He knew that there was a very powerful person behind his mother, and that he had been able to be successful before because of his help in many things.
Liu Rumeng hesitated for a while, but still refused: "No! He doesn't like crowds, it's easy to be discovered, you should wait for me at home!"
Pei Jingyuan's face didn't look like that person at all, and she was really afraid that he would be suspicious. Pei Jingyuan couldn't persuade his mother, so he had to give up the idea of following her.
The conversation between the two was clearly seen by the secret guards that Pei Jingchuan arranged to monitor Liu Rumeng, and they soon told him the news. Knowing that Liu Rumeng was going to go out again, Pei Jingchuan decided to catch them in the trap this time.
In order to convince the Duke of England that Liu Rumeng was a spy, Pei Jingchuan personally went out with the most trusted guard of the Duke of England to secretly follow Liu Rumeng. Under the cover of Pei Jingyuan, Liu Rumeng disguised herself and came to a remote mountain villa.
The villa was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters. After Liu Rumeng entered through the guarded gate, she disappeared. In order to avoid being discovered, Pei Jingchuan and his team could only think of ways to go in from other places to search. However, this back and forth took some time.
After Liu Rumeng entered, she saw the regent king who was dressed in all noble style. She felt bitter in her heart, and immediately hugged the man's waist, saying, "My Lord, please think of a way to take me away! Now, the old man, the Duke of England, doesn't trust me anymore, and there is no point for me to stay there!"
The man's eyebrows were displeased when he heard this. He pushed Liu Rumeng away coldly and said sarcastically, "I have trained you for so many years, and you can't even do this. You still want me to take you away? Where do you get the nerve to do this?"
When Liu Rumeng heard this, her heart sank, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "My Lord, if you don't do it for my sake, then do it for Jing Yuan's sake! After all, he is your son!"
