Because Jiang Lusheng was so calm, Lord Sun took a new look at him. He immediately had someone clean up a yard for him to live in and asked a tailor to make clothes for him.
Huaixiu stared at the things that were delivered.
After the others left, he asked in confusion, "Master, what did you say to Lord Sun? Why is he suddenly so nice to you?"
Jiang Lusheng picked up a piece of cloth, looked at it, put it aside, picked up the teacup and said, "Because he is a smart man."
"Ah?" Huaixiu scratched his head. "I'm stupid and don't understand."
Jiang Lusheng took a sip of pear juice and said patiently, "Lord Sun is in charge of the backyard. He is the Lord who was married to the Duke of Ying. No matter whether they are legitimate children or illegitimate children, they must call him father. Even if he doesn't like the illegitimate children, he doesn't have to raise them. He just needs to pay a little money. Why does he have to make everyone unhappy in public?"
Huaixiu suddenly understood, "So if he treats you well, he can also gain a good reputation?"
Jiang Lusheng nodded. "Besides, the prosperity of a family never depends on one person. If a concubine's children are successful, he will also benefit. A large family prospers and suffers together, so wise people will not treat concubines too harshly."
"Now I understand." Huai Xiu said happily, "Then you can live a good life."
Jiang Lusheng didn't say anything.
After a while, Huaixiu packed up his things, and Jiang Lusheng asked him to go out and find out about things related to Prince Rong.
As a result, Huaixiu left smiling and came back crying.
Jiang Lusheng's eyelids twitched. "What's wrong?"
As soon as the door closed, Huaixiu cried even harder, "My lord... wuwuwu... that Prince Rong is such a bad guy! What are you going to do if you marry him?"
Jiang Lusheng's eyelids twitched even more. He put down the book in his hand and asked, "Stop crying first. Tell me what's going on."
Huaixiu burped and said, "When I went out to ask around, I found out about Prince Rong's romantic affairs. She was said to summon seven men in one night."
Jiang Lusheng raised his eyebrows, a smile playing on his lips, "Oh?"
Huaixiu continued, "She also said that she spent seven out of ten days in Lanyu Tower."
The smile on Jiang Lusheng's lips turned a little cold, "What else?"
Huaixiu: "Her backyard is filled with all kinds of handsome men, so many that she can't even remember their names."
Jiang Lusheng stopped smiling and lowered his eyes with an ambiguous expression. "Is that so?"
"Oh, by the way, I heard that she even recruited a new prostitute from Lanyu Tower to dance in her mansion today. He was nearly assassinated but was saved by a prostitute. Now that prostitute is still in her mansion. I'm afraid he'll become her mistress."
The more Huaixiu spoke, the angrier he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not worth it for Jiang Lusheng. He looked up and wanted to persuade him again, but saw that his young master had a murderous look on his face.
He was so frightened that he shuddered and closed his mouth, even holding back his tears.
"Young Master?"
Jiang Lusheng came back to his senses and looked at him kindly, "What's wrong?"
Huaixiu wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally did not dare to say a word.
Jiang Lusheng didn't care. He just wrote down everything Huaixiu said and waited to discuss it together when they met.
…
Lan Shuang sneezed several times as soon as she left the house. Meng Yu asked worriedly, "Your Highness, are you catching a cold?"
This shouldn't happen in such hot weather.
"I don't know, maybe someone is thinking about me?" Lan Shuang sniffed and didn't take it seriously. "Has that Yun Xing been sent away?"
Mentioning this, Meng Yu rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "No."
"Huh?" Lan Shuang immediately turned to look at him, "Why haven't you sent him away yet?"
"It's not that I'm unwilling to do my job, it's that he refuses to leave. I've tried everything I can to persuade him, but he keeps complaining about the pain in his wound and that he can't walk. He wants to wait until he's healed before leaving."
Meng Yu thought of the other person's tearful face and felt a little reluctant.
Lan Shuang's voice turned cold. "If you can't walk, have him carried out in a sedan chair. If he's still here when I come back, you'll have to quit."
Meng Yu was startled and looked at Lan Shuang in surprise, who suddenly became so imposing.
Lan Shuang instantly regained her lazy and dandy look, "Don't stand here, go do what you need to do."
She got on the carriage holding a folding fan. The coachman cracked the whip and the carriage started running towards the palace.
Meng Yu scratched his head. "Is it my imagination?"
The carriage did not stop at the palace gate, but went straight into the palace. This was a privilege given to Lan Shuang by Lan Ling.
Lan Shuang lifted the curtain of the carriage and took a look outside. The palace of Kun Kingdom was quite beautiful. Compared with other palaces in the ancient world, the palace here was more delicate and exquisite, and the pavilions, flowers and trees were very unique.
The carriage stopped outside the Imperial Garden. Lan Shuang asked the coachman to wait at the palace gate. She got off the carriage and walked slowly into the Imperial Garden.
Lan Ling was sitting in the pavilion playing chess with herself. The female official Cui Jing was standing beside her. When she heard the noise, she turned around and saw that it was Lan Shuang. A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
Lan Shuang saw this and smiled at her leisurely. Cui Jing turned back and whispered a few words in Lan Ling's ear.
"Royal sister, why are you playing chess by yourself? Why not let Master Cui join you?"
Cui Jing straightened up and said calmly, "My chess skills are not very good, so I won't show off in front of Your Majesty."
"Shuang'er is here, sit down." Lan Ling put down the chess piece, looked up at Lan Shuang, and after making sure that she was not injured, he relaxed.
Lan Shuang sat down opposite her and looked at her with a smile, "My dear sister, you are still so radiant today."
Lan Ling is a very pretty oriental beauty with an oval face, phoenix eyes and willow-shaped eyebrows. Her face has very good proportions and there is no blind spot no matter how you look at her. She holds great power and has a noble and majestic aura.
This is the look that Lan Shuang likes very much, it’s really pleasing to the eyes!
She couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Prince Rong always drools at her sister, so Lan Shuang's behavior is not surprising, and Lan Ling is used to it.
"I've heard about what happened in your mansion. I've also found out who the assassin was. He's Prince Jing's man."
Lan Ling's emotions didn't fluctuate much when he spoke, but the chessboard was filled with murderous intent.
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows. This was the emperor's ability to hide his emotions.
But, how could it be Prince Jing?
She held her chin with one hand and tilted her head. "That fool Prince Jing would send assassins to kill me? That's unlikely, right?"
Lan Ling chuckled. "She's certainly not very smart. She's probably being used as a pawn. I've already sent people to investigate further. I'll also ground her for a month to vent your anger. Didn't she scold you a month ago?"
"A month? I'd completely forgotten about it." Lan Shuang smiled, but was actually shocked. How could he hold a grudge? He cursed me a month ago, but he still wanted to take revenge now. Absolutely not.
"You should also learn your lesson. What's so fun about those dirty things out there? Focus on your life and get married sooner rather than later. You're still not satisfied with the marriage I arranged for you, but the second son of the Duke of Ying is a concubine's son, so his status is indeed lower."
Lan Ling looked at Lan Shuang thoughtfully, "How about letting him be the concubine? I'll find you another one who is outstanding in character and appearance, the principal one?"
