Chapter 128 Let's find another master

After parting with Liu, Lu Zhili came to the Li Mansion to pay tribute.

Lu Yunqing's body had been put into the coffin. Because she was just a concubine and her status was not noble, the funeral was arranged in Qingxin Residence, and all the clothes were formal.

After Lu Zhili finished mourning, he went directly to find the second prince.

At this time, Baili Feng was lying on the couch holding a wine pot, watching the beauty dance. After a few sips of hot wine, his cheeks were flushed. When he saw Lu Zhili, he waved his hand and asked him to sit down and drink together.

"Second Prince, I came here today to ask you to help me kill someone."

"Who?"

"A man named Liu Jinglei, he killed my sister."

Baili Feng threw the wine pot to the ground with a clang, and laughed jokingly: "You are worthless, why should this prince help you?"

A trace of ugliness flashed across Lu Zhili's face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If someone hadn't maliciously obstructed me, I would have been a third-rank official, a member of the six ministries, and would naturally assist the second prince in his coronation ceremony!"

"What about now? You are down and out, and there was an accident at home. You are really of no use to this prince."

"I..."

"Alright." Baili Feng sat up from the couch, speaking in a somewhat brisk manner, "Now that things have come to this, I will no longer force you to help me carve out a niche. Since you don't have the ability, let's go our separate ways and live in peace. Don't waste your time any more, just find another master."

Looking at the tone, Lu Zhili was casually denied.

He was stunned.

His lips moved, wanting to explain, but he didn't know what to say.

He still remembered that when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was recommended by Su Ronghai and entered the Imperial College to study. He was proficient in everything and always ranked first, and everyone praised him.

It was also at that time that he got in touch with Baili Feng and was recruited by him as a conspirator. During that period, Lu Zhili had never thought about being in the same camp as the prince, but although the prince was gentle and kind-hearted, he had a strong sense of family status, and he looked down on him and did not want to associate with him at all.

Lu Zhili retreated and did the next best thing, thinking of staying dormant next to Baili Feng. When he got the chance, it would not be too late to find a new master again.

With Baili Feng's support, Lu Zhili's future could have been bright and skyrocketing. Unexpectedly, after leaving the Imperial College, he would be in trouble, thus ruining his future.

The blow of cheating was huge, and it directly ruined his path to becoming an official in the court.

Although Lu Zhili was unwilling, he was helpless and retreated behind the scenes. He thought that even if he was Baili Feng's counselor and not an official, he could still make a living.

But now Baili Feng is so crazy that she wants to part ways with him? Go their separate ways?

Lu Zhili can't accept it.

Under the power, he can't do anything to Baili Feng.

Coming out of the Prince's Mansion, Lu Zhili looked at the dark and gray sky, feeling so depressed that he couldn't speak.

A carriage rushed past, and the water in the water was spilling everywhere, splashing Lu Zhili's robe.

He was about to curse, but suddenly recognized that it was the Guo family's carriage.

Guo's house...

in Tingxue Garden.

Su He ate and slept every day, and then listened to Pei Xia's report on the situation outside.

"Li Qi personally sent 100 taels of silver as compensation to the Lu family, and kowtowed three times to Madam Liu before leaving. Who would have thought that Miss Lu would die like this? If she had been able to give birth to a child smoothly, who knows how happy she would be now!"

"This is the result of her own choice."

Su He thought of how Lu Yunqing became the mistress of a wealthy family in her previous life. Not only was she not grateful for Su He's admonitions and cultivation of her, but she also resented the fact that Li Qi and she could not be together.

But now it's different.

She willingly married Li Qi and entered the Li Mansion, and even wanted to become a co-wife with Zhao Liuyun. In the end, no one in the mansion recognized her identity, and the maids and old women just referred to her as Aunt Lu.

"I heard that the Third Miss lived a hard life when she was pregnant. Not only was she kept under guard in Qingxin Residence, but her daily diet was mostly oily meat, which led to her obesity. She has changed so much, and she has lost her child. She can't stay in the Li Mansion anymore. Who wouldn't be crazy?" "

When my sister-in-law was pregnant, she said that we can't eat too much oily food, otherwise the fetus will absorb too much nutrition, and it is very likely that the baby will have a difficult birth." Su He said.

Pei Xia thought about it and couldn't believe it: "Madam, what you mean is... the Li Mansion didn't let the Third Miss give birth to the child?"

Su He shook his head.

"I can't say for sure. But Chen has always been in charge of the Li Mansion. Not to mention that she has also given birth, just from what she has seen and heard, she must have more experience than us. Why does she ask Lu Yunqing to drink pork soup every day? If you say she has no selfish motives, I really don't believe it."

Maybe Chen wanted to avenge Lu Yunqing's entry into the family.

She was a woman who had never left the palace, and it was rumored that she had an affair with Xuande General Li Qi for no reason, and she was pregnant. This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Chen and the Li family.

If we really talk about selfish motives, Chen's scheming is a bit too deep.

"Where is Qingyun?" Su He asked.

Pei Xia looked around the yard: "Who knows? Why did Madam call him?"

Su He's eyes narrowed, staring at the gray sky in a daze: "I don't know how he is now?"

Pei Xia naturally knew who Madam was talking about.

But this journey is long and arduous, and there are many disaster victims on the road, so it may not be convenient to send letters.

We can only wait and see.

"Is the young lady in there?"

Hearing the voice of Nanny Tang coming from outside the Snow Garden, Pei Xia hurried out to greet her and ask. Nanny Tang answered and walked in with a smile, "Young lady, please wash up, we have to go to Kunning Palace for dinner later."

Su He was startled and drove away all the sleepiness.

Pei Xia also followed up with a start: "What are you going to do in the palace?"

Kunning Palace, the palace of Queen Guo.

Nanny Tang explained: "Empress Guo wants to see you, Madam. Although the Princess doesn't like to deal with her, you know about Princess Xianyin... I guess tonight, she has other intentions."

So that's the case.

Su He and Empress Guo had never met before, so it was absolutely impossible for him to want to see her.

Last time, Hua was angry and left the table after being exposed. She must have gone to Queen Guo to complain. There has been no news for so many days, so the matter should be left unresolved.

"I know, thank you Madam for coming in person."

"What's the big deal? I'm happy!"

Madam Tang said and left with a smile.

After Pei Xia sent her out, she came back and said, "I see that Madam Tang likes Madam very much and wishes that Madam was her daughter-in-law!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Su He scolded, and explained, "Madam Tang is your wet nurse. She has been raising you with your mother since she was a child. Naturally, her feelings cannot be guessed. In her heart, she must have regarded you as her own child for a long time, but we can't talk about it."
