Chapter 156: Lu Minghui's murderous intention

Go to the capital city.

Yongning Marquis Mansion.

Lu Minghui felt like her days were numbered, and she was restless and anxious.

Even a banknote with a face value of ten thousand taels could not ease her mood.

Lu Minghui did not expect that Sun Zhiye would use a long speech to quote classics and explain the pros and cons to reject her order.

She was the daughter of the Yongning Marquisate and the future mistress of the Zhenguo Dukeate. She offered Sun Zhiye a chance to succeed because she respected him.

If Sun Zhiye wants to get close to her, he must show his loyalty and value.

The banknotes were a gesture of goodwill, but they were not sincere enough.

Sun Zhiye helped her solve her problems, so she would naturally build a bridge for Sun Zhiye to make a fortune.

But Sun Zhiye doesn't know what's good for him.

“Pah.”

Lu Minghui flicked her sleeves and swept the things on the table to the ground.

The maid who was grinding ink quickly set up the ink stick and knelt down to kowtow and beg for mercy, "Miss, please calm down, Miss, spare my life!"

Lu Minghui just felt that it was very annoying, so she picked up the hem of her skirt and walked over quickly. When she got in front of the maid, she kicked her and said, "Shut up!"

"Extremely noisy."

Still not satisfied, he kicked her again.

"Qiu Shi, I heard that you used to serve Lu Mingchao and were very respectable. Why are you so stupid and dumb in front of me? Are you dissatisfied with me?"

Hearing this, Qiu Shi could not care less about covering her heart that was hurt by the kick, and took a breath of cool air, "Miss, you are wise, I dare not."

Lu Minghui glared at Qiushi fiercely, "You bastard."

"My dear, Madam Wang is coming to Lanxi Courtyard."

A slightly anxious voice was heard outside the door.

The anger on Lu Minghui's face faded a little, and she tried hard to suppress the rage that was about to burst out, and said quietly, "Qiu Shi, watch your mouth."

Since she returned to her ancestral home, she has been regarded as gentle and kind.

She knew she needed this good reputation.

The marquis' wife loved her and was afraid that she would be wronged, so she handed over the indentures of all the servants in Lanxiyuan to her early on.

Therefore, she is the sky of Lanxiyuan.

In Lanxiyuan, she doesn't have to be gentle, kind and humble.

As for the servants who were not careful with their mouths, they were killed secretly.

Killing a chicken to scare the monkey will naturally make the rest of the people tight-lipped.

Lu Minghui gently brushed away the wrinkles on her dress, stood quietly in front of the half-person-high bronze mirror, and carefully arranged the pearl hairpins on her bun, making sure that each one was properly placed.

She slightly pulled up the corners of her mouth and tried hard to force out a well-behaved and caring smile, appearing both decent and gentle.

"Aren't you going down yet?" Lu Minghui glanced at the honest Qiu Shi with disdain in her eyes.

I don't know why Emperor Ming of the Ming Dynasty chose such a stupid girl as his personal maid.

It can neither help her solve her problems nor make her smile, it can only make her feel unhappy!

"Thank you for sparing my life, young lady."

Qiushi endured the pain, his face turned pale, and his body was slightly shaking.

Under the eaves.

Chunhua lowered her head, lowered her voice, and spoke quickly, "You don't have to serve in front of the young lady today. I'll let Xia Chan take your place. There is medicine in Xiyan Huawenlu's wooden box. Go back and rest."

"Here's the key."

Covering her with her sleeve, Chunhua stuffed the key into Qiushi's hand.

Chunhua only felt something sticky and was surprised. When she looked up, she saw Qiushi's face, which was as pale as paper and covered with cold sweat.

"Autumn fruit."

Chunhua's voice unconsciously became sharp and piercing. "I'm going to try to convince the young lady to allow you and Dongxue to leave the house for a while. You can go to an inconspicuous clinic to see a doctor."

Qiushi held the key, his lips moving, but the pain was so severe that he felt dizzy and could not speak for a long time.

"Just take it slow."

“I’m used to it.”

Chunhua sighed, waved to the little maid who was sweeping the yard, and asked her to help Qiushi go back.

Watching Qiushi leave, Chunhua looked at the bronze key lying quietly on the bluestone slab and sighed.

Qiushi must have been in so much pain that he didn't even notice the key slipping from his hand.

Chunhua bent down, picked up the key and put it in her waist pouch.

Forget it. She will take some time out from her busy schedule to go back and apply medicine to Qiushi.

When he looked up again, there was a submissive and fawning smile on his face, like a puppet polished by the most skillful craftsman.

"Madame Wang."

Nanny Wang nodded, "Is the young lady here?"

Before Chunhua could say anything, the door opened.

"Madame Wang." Lu Minghui said softly.

Nanny Wang glanced at it inconspicuously, then quickly lowered her head and said, "Madam has obtained a piece of floating brocade and wants to buy some clothes for Miss, so she has specially ordered this old servant to invite Miss over."

No matter what the reason is, the superficial reason must be acceptable.

"Floating Light Brocade?" Lu Minghui's eyes lit up.

After more than a month of treatment, she has completely changed.

The floating luster brocade is made of the purple sea that does not stain its color, and is embroidered with five-colored silk to form patterns, each with 1,200 threads.

The light is flickering and dazzling.

Nanny Wang smiled and said, "It is indeed a glittering brilliance."

"Miss, please."

Nanny Wang led the way. Lu Minghui said casually, "I heard that Nanny Wang used to call Mingchao "Miss". When she left the mansion, Nanny was very reluctant to let her go."

"Minghui knows that she doesn't have as deep a relationship with the nanny as she has with them for more than ten years. Maybe she can't hear the nanny calling her "my lady" anymore."

Nanny Wang's heart tightened, but her expression remained unchanged. "The young lady is joking."

Lu Minghui smiled but said nothing.

Sooner or later she will get rid of this old guy.

In the previous life, Nanny Wang was Lu Mingchao's dowry nanny. After entering the Duke of Zhen's Mansion, she assisted Lu Mingchao in managing the household. She was loyal and the relationship between master and servant was deep.

How could she tolerate the fact that she cared about Lu Mingchao so much that he stayed by the side of the Marquis and ignored her?

Nanny Wang felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and her body was covered with goose bumps.

The eldest daughter of the Yongning Marquis's family is not easy to get along with.

Gentleness, kindness, and restraint are all superficial.

She is an elder person around the Madam, and all the affairs of Lanxiyuan are heard by the Madam as if they have only been heard by her.

Ever since the madam handed over the indentures of the servants of Lanxiyuan to the eldest daughter, Lanxiyuan thought it had executed three maids with sticks without anyone noticing.

The lady felt sorry for the eldest daughter and covered up for her everywhere, so the story didn't get out.

Just now, she saw Qiushi from a distance.

Qiushi's face was as pale as a dead person, and she found it scary just to look at him.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Nanny Wang was guarding under the eaves and did not go in.

The sound came out intermittently and faintly.

Nanny Wang stared at the desolate courtyard and let her mind go blank.

I dare not listen, nor do I want to listen.

"Mother, where is Fu Guangjin?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning looked a little unhappy. "Of course I'll keep the Fuguangjin for you. Mother heard that the porcelain in Lanxi Courtyard has been replaced like water in the past few days, and a little maid was beaten to death last night?"

Lu Minghui was startled, and then her eyes turned red. "Mother, I know I was wrong."

"The maid despised my daughter because she was raised in the countryside and was not worthy of being in public. She openly and secretly despised my daughter for not being as good as a hair of Lu Mingchao. My daughter was furious."

"When I gave the order, my words were a bit harsh."

"The mother takes the blame, but the daughter never complains."

The more he spoke, the more choked his voice became.

The wife of the Marquis of Yongning sighed, "He is just a servant. If he dies, he dies. Mother is worried about your reputation."

"You've been getting more irritable lately. What's bothering you?"

Silencing rather than sealing
