Chapter 210: Helping Lovers
"Okay, I'll go take a look that day, and check out a few farms at the same time. I heard that Lu Mingzhu made a fuss several times, but my father ignored her. The only thing to do is to make sure she doesn't starve to death." Qiao Jingru said.
Hearing this, Lu Xiang couldn't help but think of the scene when Xiao Muheng went to the Liu family to propose marriage with great fanfare some time ago.
"Does Lu Mingzhu know that Xiao Muheng is going to marry Liu Anyao?" Lu Xiang asked.
She was so focused on how to solve the problem of Lu Chao's mistress that she forgot about Lu Mingzhu for a while.
Qiao Jingru hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I didn't hear her making a fuss about Xiao Muheng, so you probably don't know. What? Do you want to use this to provoke Lu Mingzhu?"
Stimulate?
No, no, no, she wants to help a pair of lovers get together.
"Not now, let's wait for Xiao Muheng to be proud for a while." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru pursed her lips and did not ask what Lu Xiang wanted to do. She said sarcastically, "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person. In order to cling to the rich and powerful, he even rushed to marry a fallen woman like Liu Anyao. His marriage with the Liu family has become known to the whole capital. As a result, his marriage with Lu Mingzhu can only be abandoned."
Lu Xiang held the teacup, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light surging in her eyes.
In his previous life, Xiao Muheng made many plans just to marry Lu Mingzhu, but now he wants to give up in this life?
It’s a beautiful thought.
The more he hated Lu Mingzhu, the more Lu Xiang wanted to help them get together.
She wanted to see how Lu Mingzhu, who had been unscrupulous in her previous life because of Xiao Muheng's love, would live a life worse than death after being rejected by Xiao Muheng in this life. Lu Mingzhu had to suffer the same pain that she had suffered.
Qiao Jingru sat for a while and then left.
When Ah Man saw that everyone had left, he entered the house like a thief, looking very furtive.
Lu Xiang pointed to a stool nearby and asked Ah Man to sit down: "Have you checked it out?"
"Yes." Ah Man nodded. "I couldn't find any news about Rong Yin in the capital, so I borrowed your connections and found out that Rong Yin was the courtesan of a local brothel in Ningzhou, which is adjacent to the capital."
Lu Xiang was not surprised by Rong Yin's identity, but was surprised that this person was from Ningzhou.
"How did you get to know Big Brother?"
Ah Man said, "I can't go to Ningzhou, so I asked someone to ask. The brothel's madam said that someone gave Rongyin five hundred taels and asked her to go to the capital to serve for half a year. After half a year, she would be returned and given another one thousand taels. A contract was signed at that time. Seeing that the person who came was quite noble, the madam agreed without thinking. It was a man who took Rongyin away. After bringing her to the capital, he took her to a teahouse where the eldest young master often went to sing. Because she was beautiful, many young masters liked her. Some even said that they wanted to take Rongyin as a concubine."
Going so far to find a prostitute to seduce Lu Chao is quite a big deal.
Is it to avoid being found out in the capital?
The most puzzling thing is that apart from the deceased Liu, who else has such a deep hatred for Lu Chao?
Suddenly, Lu Xiang seemed to have thought of something and her eyes widened: "Aunt Yao."
Ah Man was puzzled: "What Aunt Yao?"
If there is anyone who is so hostile to Lu Chao that she wants to destroy him, Aunt Yao is the most likely suspect.
The Lu family has only two sons, both of whom are illegitimate sons. Aunt Yao naturally has to plan for Lu Xiao. As the eldest illegitimate son, Lu Chao will naturally inherit the Lu family in the future. How much will Lu Xiao get when he grows up? Moreover, under the situation that the old lady dotes on her, although the Lu family will not give her half, the old lady will definitely not treat her badly.
She had always limited her focus on Liu, but ignored the extremely subtle relationship between Aunt Yao and Liu. At least she knew in her previous life that Liu was also chosen by Aunt Yao and sent to her father.
Aunt Yao knew what kind of woman would be more liked by men. Since she understood her father, she would naturally observe what kind of woman Lu Chao liked.
Rongyin is the woman she carefully selected.
In her previous life, Liu was the mistress of the house and held great power in the Lu family. She wanted to go to Ningzhou to find a courtesan to bring to the capital, although it was not easy but she did it. On the surface, this person was sent to Lu Chao by Liu, but secretly, Aunt Yao was definitely behind the scenes advising her.
It seems that she can't wait for the person behind Aunt Yao to slowly surface, she has to find out as soon as possible.
"Take some time to find Uncle Huo and tell Zongli to help me find out what connections Yao Kun had to become an official in the Imperial Observatory."
Ah Man responded, "Miss San means that you suspect that this matter is related to Aunt Yao?"
She knew that Yao Kun was Aunt Yao's elder brother.
Lu Xiang frowned and said, "Well, let's check it out first. There will always be a day when her fox tail will be exposed."
The gambling house had just reopened, so it hadn't formed a news network that quickly. Lu Xiang didn't expect results within a few days. Besides, if the person behind Aunt Yao was really powerful, it wouldn't be easy to investigate.
This is different from investigating Rongyin's origins. No matter how far away Rongyin is, you can always find her as long as you follow her. I guess Aunt Yao doesn't think that A'man has the ability to find her way to Ningzhou.
"Okay." Ah Man responded, and just as she turned around and was about to leave, Lu Xiang stopped her again and said:
"Ah Man, bring the madam to the capital."
"Yes, Ningzhou is not far away. I will go there now. If we ride at full speed, we can arrive before Hai time." Ah Man said.
Lu Xiang nodded: "Okay, quietly bring her back to our yard, don't let anyone find her. It's too late, just find a room for her to stay."
Ah Man nodded and left in a hurry.
How could the madam go with Ah Man so easily, so Ah Man knocked her unconscious while she was going to the toilet and carried her away. When she woke up, she was already staggering on the horse's back. As soon as she struggled and couldn't ask a single word, Ah Man knocked her unconscious again with a knife.
He was still asleep when he entered Qixia Courtyard.
Ah Man did not bother Lu Xiang and locked the madam in the room where Mu Jin and Hong Yin lived.
Because of her outstanding embroidery skills, Hongyin was arranged by the young lady to train apprentices in the workshop behind Furong Pavilion.
The madam didn't wake up until the next morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ah Man sitting beside the bed, staring at her with wide eyes. She screamed in fear. Ah Man quickly covered her mouth and threatened fiercely: "Shut up, now is not the time for you to talk. If you dare to make any sound again, I will kill you."
“Mmmmm…”
The madam stared in horror, shaking her head like a rattle, and found that her hands and feet were tied and she could not move.
Oh my God, who is this girl? And where is this place?
The madam had a lot of questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions at this moment.
She was able to get herself out quietly, and the madam had no doubt that Ah Man would really kill her.
Ah Man covered the madam's mouth with a handkerchief and went to find Lu Xiang.
"Miss, now that the person is here, what should we do with him?"
Yunzhe and Wuyue were helping Lu Xiang wash and dress. Lu Xiang sat in front of the bronze mirror and said, "Go to the front yard and wait for the young master. Bring him over."
