Chapter 338 Unlucky White Moonlight 14
What a fool! He can't even control his selfish desires, yet he still wants to be the emperor.
Thinking about what Luo's father said this morning, Luo An smiled slightly. Everything that Prince Jin did was reported to the emperor by someone with ulterior motives. Now the emperor's impression of Prince Jin was getting worse and worse, and he had almost excluded him from the candidates for the throne.
It's a pity that a man who is immersed in the land of women is still complacent and doesn't know what's going on.
"Miss, you seem to be in a good mood today?"
"When am I in a bad mood?" Luo An asked back.
Cuizhu nodded in her heart while combing her hair. That's true. Ever since the young lady broke off her engagement with Prince Jin, her life has become more and more carefree.
Prince Jin spent the entire night with Mei Niang, and only then did they have time to discuss their original plan.
"Your Highness, I don't think Luo An is as easy to deal with as we thought." When talking about Luo An, Mei Niang couldn't control her distorted expression.
"No confidence?"
Prince Jin ruffled Mei Niang's hair with a somewhat nonchalant tone, but Mei Niang still heard a hint of danger.
Although she re-entered Prince Jin's Mansion today, she was still a nameless person with no status. In addition, Prince Jin had a fickle personality, so Mei Niang really didn't dare to say anything nonsense and hurried to make amends.
"No, I just think we should plan more carefully. Tracking alone won't do. It will easily expose our purpose."
King Jin agreed with this point. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
The ball was kicked back again. Mei Niang thought of her mother's methods and laughed out loud, "How about we just do this..."
The two whispered to each other and smiled sinisterly at the same time.
The next day, a maid who was sweeping the floor in Luo'an Courtyard slipped out of the general's mansion avoiding the attention of others. She thought that the unscrupulous parents were looking for her, and her face was full of resentment and anger. However, she never expected that when she went out, her younger brother and two strange men were standing outside.
"Sister, help! You must save us!"
The maid Dongmei thought that her younger brother owed money again and was forced to come to her to ask for money. Her face was full of indignation. Her family did not sell her to the human traffickers because they had no food to eat. It was just because she had a younger brother who loved gambling.
There is only a two-year age difference between them, but the younger brother owes money and cries twice, which can cause his parents to sell her to pay back the debt. Anyone would hate her, and she is no exception.
"How much money do you owe me this time? I don't even make two cents a month working at the General's Mansion. Don't expect more from me."
In fact, she didn't want to give the money, but if she dared not to, her unscrupulous parents would come to the general's mansion. She was lucky to be bought by the housekeeper. As long as she worked, she would have food and drink, and she could also get a monthly salary. It was not like other mansions where she would be beaten or killed if she did not do her job well.
She is very satisfied with her current life and does not want it to be ruined by her parents and brothers, so she has to be coerced by them from time to time.
"Sister, I really don't owe much this time."
He really did owe money. Dongmei was furious. She wanted to say something but felt it was pointless. "How much?"
"Twenty taels." He was kicked just as he finished speaking. He could only correct himself with tears and snot, "No, no, it's two hundred taels."
Two hundred taels. Dongmei turned back on the spot. Why should she help? Even if she sold herself eight or ten times, she still couldn't get enough two hundred taels of silver.
As a result, after taking just two steps, someone hugged her legs and said, "Sister, sister, you must help me, help me, otherwise I will really die."
Dongmei tried her best to pull her legs free, but the other person was holding her too tightly and she couldn't move at all.
"Sister, they said I don't have to pay this time, and only you can help me."
Even Dongmei, no matter how dumb she was, could sense something was wrong. It seemed like the other party might be targeting her. After thinking it through, Dongmei took a deep breath and decided to get to the bottom of it all. "How can I help?!"
Dongmei's brother thought things had turned around when he heard this, and his expression became excited, "Sister, they said that as long as you report Miss Luo's every move and living habits to them, not only will you not have to pay back the 200 taels you owe, but you can also give me another 200 taels.
Sister, you see, I'm not young anymore. Big Ox and Two Tigers have both married, and they laugh at me every day for not being able to get married. As long as I have these two hundred taels, I can marry a wife and have children, and my parents won't have to worry about me anymore."
When Dongmei heard the three words "Miss Luo", her heart skipped a beat. In an instant she understood that these people were targeting her young lady.
After her angry mind calmed down, Dongmei turned around and looked at the two men who had been standing there looking at her, thinking about what to do next.
To be honest, if she were asked to choose between her parents and her young lady, she would definitely choose her own young lady. She knows very well who treats her well and who treats her badly since she was a child.
She wanted to go back immediately and report the news to the young lady, but now she was being watched. If she didn't agree to their request, she might not be able to leave.
In just one minute, Dongmei came up with a solution.
She looked at the two strange men nervously and fearfully, her words stuttering and frightened. "Brothers, is what he said true?"
The two men were very satisfied with her reaction. Knowing to be afraid was good, as it would allow them to better control her. They nodded immediately and said, "You don't have to be too scared. As long as you cooperate, your brother won't have to suffer any harm. If you don't cooperate..."
The man stepped forward and kicked Dongmei's brother in the knee, causing him to fall to his knees and scream, "Sister, you must save me! Save me! If I die, our Zhang family will have no descendants!"
If the scene were changed, Dongmei would have wanted to roll her eyes. She had heard this sentence countless times, and yet this idiot was still alive and well.
But now she just wanted to think of the best way to solve the current dilemma. "Two big brothers, I am a servant in the young lady's courtyard. Apart from cleaning the yard and washing clothes, I have no chance to interact with the young lady. You suddenly want me to say this, I really can't think of it."
Seeing the two men's expressions suddenly change, Dongmei continued with a look of fear, "How about this? Give me two days and I'll find out everything you want to know. Otherwise, if I'm wrong, you won't be able to explain it, right?"
This reason was still tenable. The two men discussed it for a while and continued to look at Dongmei fiercely. "Okay! But you must not fool us, otherwise, not only your brother, but also your parents will have a hard time."
Dongmei shuddered, her hands waving. "No, no, my parents are in your hands. How dare I do anything? But you also have to ensure the safety of my parents and my younger brother. Otherwise, I will not let you go even if it means my death."
Seeing that his sister had not given up on him, Dongmei's younger brother was very excited. "Sister, you are the best! Sister, you must find out everything, otherwise they will not let you go."
Holding back her nausea, Dongmei looked at her brother with a worried look on her face, "Don't worry, I will definitely save you."
