Chapter 057 Li Tingting Can't Sit Still
Prince Lu gritted his teeth, wanting to get angry but unable to, because if he did he would have no reason to come tomorrow.
"I was inconsiderate. Madam Chu, I have brought her here. Please give me some face, how about that?"
"But I don't want to give it to you." Xia Xue said lightly.
The atmosphere froze instantly. Li Tingting gritted her teeth and was about to explode. Prince Lu glared at her a few times, and Li Tingting held back.
I'll see if you can still laugh tomorrow! Li Tingting gritted her teeth.
Prince Lu was rejected and his face turned pale and blue. He looked at Chu Zhenxuan again and again, but Chu Zhenxuan didn't react.
I cursed in my heart, what a useless henpecked wife, but I couldn't say anything else.
After a while, Prince Lu found a step and said, "Madam Chu has always been a person who pays attention to etiquette. I was negligent this time. If I bring my princess here next time, I wonder if Madam Chu will welcome me or if she will still embarrass me like this?"
"Princess Lu is virtuous and kind, and she is also the principal wife. The Prime Minister's Mansion will naturally welcome her with great joy." Xia Xue replied.
"Then please remember what you said, Madam Chu." Prince Lu flicked his sleeves and followed Chu Zhenxuan inside.
Li Tingting was a little anxious, "Prince."
"You wait here." Prince Lu frowned.
Li Tingting kept stamping her feet and glared at Xia Xue again and again.
If it weren't for this woman, maybe she would be Mrs. Chu now. This woman not only blocked her way, but also insulted her so much. How hateful!
But thinking about the good show tomorrow, Li Tingting's anger instantly subsided a lot. Tomorrow, Chu Zhenxuan will recognize him as his son and marry him a concubine. Then...
When Li Tingting thought about what was going to happen next, she felt relaxed all over.
"You two, keep an eye on Miss Li here. After all, Miss Li's reputation is damaged. If she enters the mansion and something bad happens there, no one will be able to explain." Xia Xue ordered the guards.
"You! I won't bother with you."
"If Miss Li still wants to be beaten in the Prime Minister's Residence, just keep on speaking rudely."
Li Tingting gritted her teeth and shut up.
She knew that Xia Xue was a madwoman capable of doing anything.
Xia Xue was quite satisfied and turned around and went in.
Li Tingting chatted with the guard who was watching her.
"Don't you remember me?"
"I used to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion often."
"Old Madam Chu loves me very much. If it weren't for her insidiousness and cunningness, I might have become your wife."
One of the guards turned around and whispered, "She also thinks the lady is sinister."
When Li Tingting heard this, she quickly replied, "I have suffered many losses at her hands."
"Hey, Prince Lu's people have suffered losses, so it's nothing if we suffer a little loss." said another guard.
Li Tingting rolled her eyes. Xia Xue was really unjust. Even the guards of the prime minister's residence rejected her.
Li Tingting pursed her lips and took out two silver ingots from her sleeve wallet. "Two young men, please be flexible. I need to go to the toilet."
The two guards looked at each other and didn't dare to take it.
"Look, there are only three of us here now. If you and I don't tell anyone, naturally no one will know. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't know how to entertain guests, we can't let people go to the toilet at the door. Can you please help me? I'll be back soon, okay?"
"Why don't we let her in first? Anyway, the Prime Minister will be receiving guests and won't come out for an hour or two." One guard said to another.
The other guard thought for a while and took the silver. "Then go quickly and come back soon."
Li Tingting nodded and hurried inside.
She had been to the Prime Minister's Mansion hundreds of times, so she was naturally familiar with the place. The spies reported that the woman lived next door to Xia Xue's garden, which made it even easier to find her. However, because of Xia Xue's impoliteness, Li Tingting still carefully avoided people.
When they finally reached "Fuhua Pavilion", Li Tingting saw four guards standing at the door and suddenly had a bad feeling.
The servant from the prime minister's residence had delivered a message to them before. How did he do it?
There are four guards standing at the door. How can that boy get in?
As she was thinking about it, two maids came out mysteriously with trays. One pulled her and the other pushed her. Both of them had heavy faces and seemed to want to say something. The other told her not to say anything and pulled her into the woods.
Li Tingting hurried to catch up.
"What do you think we should do about this? This is a life-threatening situation. If we're not careful, we might lose our heads."
When Li Tingting heard that there was something interesting, she wanted to throw her ear over.
"But Madam has made the arrangements. Madam is vindictive, and if we don't follow her orders, we will be the next ones they will deal with."
"Why don't we go to the Prime Minister and explain the situation to him? It's better than killing someone like this."
Murder? Who does Xia Xue want to kill?
"Madam is pestering the Prime Minister every day now, and she won't give us a chance to speak. Moreover, we don't know what kind of medicine Madam gave the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister now believes everything she says. Even if we sue, we will only die faster."
"Alas, the old lady is the only one who can judge justice in this family now. If the old lady hadn't felt something was wrong yesterday and arranged for her people to guard the garden, maybe the lady would have taken action last night."
Li Tingting understood. It turned out that the guards were added by the old lady yesterday. It seemed that the old lady also noticed that Xia Xue was going to deal with Liang Ronghua.
Thinking of this, Li Tingting suddenly became very excited. It turned out that there were more than just her who wanted to deal with her.
Li Tingting jumped out and stood in front of the two maids.
When the two maids saw someone, they were shocked and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Tingting straightened herself up and said, "I was sent by the old lady to monitor you."
When the two maids heard this, they knelt down and said, "We didn't do anything. Please don't misunderstand me, young lady."
"Okay, then I want to ask you, what exactly are you going to do?"
The two maids looked at each other and lowered their heads.
"If you don't want to talk, come with me to see the old lady."
"No, no, I said. It was Madam. Madam said that a distinguished person would come tomorrow and that we should deal with what needs to be dealt with before tonight. We thought it was something else, but Madam gave us a packet of arsenic and asked us to put it in the dinner of the person in Fuhua Pavilion. Miss, please believe me, it really has nothing to do with us."
"Do you dare to say these words again in front of the old lady?"
"I don't dare."
"What?" Li Tingting raised her eyebrows.
"Since the young lady is by the old lady's side, she naturally knows the current situation of the Prime Minister's residence. If the Prime Minister is here, even if the old lady gets evidence, she can only let it go. Moreover, the lady has always been vindictive. One second the old lady made a symbolic criticism, and the next second the servants would be beaten to death. Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well listen to the lady and have a glimmer of hope."
Has Xia Xue already done whatever she wants to this extent?
"What if the emperor comes? Do you dare to tell him?"
"Madam, you dare to kill someone so casually. You have violated the law. If the emperor is willing to listen to us, we will stand up and seek justice for the young master's mother."
"Young Master?" Li Tingting was stunned.
"Yes, everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion calls it that."
Li Tingting laughed immediately. Men can never escape the shackles of flesh and blood. Everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion calls Chu Yun "Young Master", which means that Chu Zhenxuan believes Liang Ronghua's story and is ready to acknowledge this son. So Xia Xue can't sit still. Is she going to save the son from the mother?
Want to take advantage and become a mother right away? No way.
Li Tingting took out another bag full of silver and handed it to them, "You keep your word. If you dare to correct Xia Xue in front of the emperor, you will be rewarded tenfold."
The two maids took it and bowed, "Thank you, young lady. Thank you, young lady."
