Chapter 6 I thought it was the last time I would do something for her
After returning to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Lu Qiaoxiao called Bai Zhi and whispered a few words to her.
When she caught a glimpse of Yunxi sweeping fallen leaves in the yard, her eyes suddenly darkened.
This was the little maid that Wang Xiuwan placed in her room. Later, she went to the Pei family as her dowry. She even conspired with Lin Miaofu to plot against her.
He secretly drugged her tea and falsely accused her of having an affair with the Pei family's new staff member, causing her to be disliked by Pei Jinxuan.
Later, she was placed in a cold courtyard and forbidden to go out. She became a person who could be ridiculed by even the lowest servant in the mansion.
Do you like to tell tales?
Then use the same method to make her suffer retribution.
"Baizhi, come with me to Huanyi Pavilion to pick out some clothes. I have an important trip next month." She took a sip of tea slowly, her voice louder than usual, and more excited.
As she expected, Yunxi's movement with the broom paused slightly.
"Miss, are you preparing clothes for the Spring Banquet?" Bai Zhi blinked, looking confused.
"Spring Banquet, that matter is much more important than the Spring Banquet." Lu Qiaoxiao smiled meaningfully.
——
In Xiu Yue Tower, Wang Xiuwan was chatting with Lu Xiuzhu.
She looked at her daughter, who was happily eating an apple, with a worried look on her face, and advised, "The Spring Festival Banquet is coming in a few days. Take good care of yourself. If you can catch the eye of the Duke's son, you'll be very lucky."
Lu Qiaozhu is pretty and cute, especially her pair of round puppy-like eyes and slightly round nose. She is a beauty.
She and that dandy prince are a perfect match.
"Aunt, you should let my second sister get married. I don't want to get married so early." Lu Xiuzhu grumbled as she took a bite of the apple.
"Your second sister naturally has other plans, which will take some time." Wang Xiuwan's eyes flashed slightly. What she had her eyes on for Yue'er was the position of the principal wife of Prince Ding'an's Mansion.
Prince Ding'an is now deeply favored by the emperor in the court. When he ascends the throne in the future, his daughter will be the precious queen!
Lu Xiuzhu was not happy: "Mother, I knew it! The husband you chose for my second sister must be from a more prestigious family, right?"
"Why should I always be inferior to my second sister? You are too biased!" Lu Xiuzhu was so angry that she smashed half an apple on the ground and ran out.
"Oh, this child." Wang Xiuwan felt a headache. With this girl's temper, if she married into a family with a higher status, she would suffer sooner or later because of falling from a high place.
As soon as Lu Xiuzhu left the house, Yunxi arrived.
"Madam Wang, the Third Miss left crying, but what happened?"
Yunxi has always been smart, so she was noticed by Wang Xiuwan at first sight and was taken in as her own.
After all, how could the eldest daughter alone deal with Aunt Wang, the second daughter and the third daughter?
One against three, she naturally knew which side to lean towards.
What's more, Aunt Wang said that if she could keep a close eye on the eldest daughter, she would definitely take out a farm from the land and property allocated to the lady by the master in the future and put her name on it.
Wang Xiuwan rubbed her brows and said, "Don't worry about her, but is there any movement over at Xiaoxiang Courtyard?"
Yunxi whispered a few words in her ear, and Wang Xiuwan rolled her eyes: "Follow her carefully and see what she wants."

Xiaoxiang Courtyard:
"Miss, Yunxi really went towards Xiuyue Tower just now. What a traitor! Just wait and see how I'm going to deal with her!" Bai Zhi frowned and scolded.
Lu Qiaoxiao narrowed his eyes and said, "No rush, just leave her in the courtyard. Don't alert the enemy over trivial matters."
"It would be great if we could kill two birds with one stone."
Bai Zhi was secretly frightened when she saw the cunning look that flashed across her young lady's bright eyes.
Her young lady seems to be really different from before.
"Miss, do you really not like Mr. Pei anymore?" Bai Zhi was a little worried. After all, the young lady had been in love with Mr. Pei for so many years.
All the money I saved with great effort was used to buy gifts for Mr. Pei.
It was only because of her life-threatening situation that he did not convert the house deeds and land into cash.
The young lady is naturally cheerful and doesn't like to argue with others, so she gives her best enthusiasm and sincerity to Mr. Pei.
But the heart of that unfeeling man could not be warmed.
The news that the daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate personally went to the Pei family to cancel the engagement spread throughout the capital like a gust of wind.
Lu Qiaoxiao took Bai Zhi out without taking a carriage.
Passersby glanced at her and whispered to each other from time to time.
"Ah! How could the daughter of the Yong'an Marquis be acting like this? A few days ago, she couldn't wait to marry the man who won the third place in the imperial examination, and now she's running away to cancel the engagement the day before the wedding!"
"Why don't you call her absurd? Shameless like this!"
"How could the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion give birth to such a little whore?!"
Bai Zhi's face turned red with anger. These people were really making things up!
Why do they always subconsciously put the blame on women for problems between men and women?
When the young lady was sincere to Mr. Pei a few years ago, why didn't they think that the young lady's sincerity was admirable and precious?
She was about to step forward to argue, but Lu Qiaoxiao raised his hand to stop her: "Remember our business."
She caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, and her pace quickened.
Took the bait.
At the corner of the street, a luxurious and gorgeous carriage slowly passed by.
"Go and find out who is spreading rumors among the neighbors."
The man's voice was soft and gentle, and one could hear that his voice was steady and warm, but one could not tell what his emotions were.
"Yes, sir." A Yao looked at the hand that lifted the curtain, slightly distracted.
The fingers are long and strong, and under the fair skin are clearly visible blue veins.
The most important thing is that today I finally saw him smile with his lips pursed.
A few days ago, the young master stayed in the study with a gloomy face every day, which was really scary.
This morning, the eldest daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate personally came to the Pei family to break off the engagement with the second son of the Pei family.
When the young man was drinking tea, he actually stared at a blue and white exquisite cup for a long time.
Later, he called in a new reviewer from the Hanlin Academy and asked him if his work was going well recently and urged him to be prudent in his work.
That person seems to be the son of Yong'an Marquis Mansion——
After the curtain was lowered, the man sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to rest.
Three days ago, he passed by the same street corner and heard people speaking ill of her. He asked A Yao to borrow the commander-in-chief's token and scared those people into silence.
He thought that was the last time he could do anything.
But I never expected that there would be a sudden turn of events and a bright future.
"Young Master, Prince Ding'an has invited you to a banquet tonight. I guess he's going to send more people to your house." A Yao's voice was filled with worry.
Prince Ding'an loves beauties himself, so he wants to drag others into his corruption.
But his son is a handsome and kind man who never gets close to women.
How could he possibly touch those women coming out of the waterside pavilions and singing stages?
"Go, why not go." Shen Yuheng curled his lips, his eyes deep.
His heart was trapped in his chest, beating violently.
She won't marry—
That's great.
