Chapter 211: No Comparison
Ah Man squatted in front of the hanging flower gate between the front and back yards while biting a meat bun. She saw Lu Chao walking towards them from a distance and immediately rushed over like an arrow.
"Young Master."
Lu Chao was startled, holding his chest and taking two steps back: "You stupid girl, why are you yelling so early in the morning?"
Ah Man stuffed the meat bun in his hand into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, then said, "Master, the third lady wants you to come over."
"No." Lu Chao waved his hand without thinking, and was about to leave after walking past Ah Man.
He said that he would never enter Qixiayuan again. Doesn't he have any dignity?
Ah Man glared, reached out and grabbed Lu Chao's shoulders, squeezing them hard: "You must go."
"Hiss..." Lu Chao grimaced in pain, and kept slapping Ah Man's arm with both hands: "You dare to hit the master, you are asking for death, it hurts me to death, let go, let go."
Ah Man ignored her and just repeated, "Miss, please ask the young master to come over."
Lu Chao: “…”
Is this an invitation? This is called kidnapping.
"Go away, let go first. My shoulder is going to be broken." Lu Chaojun's face twisted in pain and he said hatefully.
When you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Ah Man let go after hearing this.
Lu Chao rubbed his shoulders and glared at Ah Man hatefully: "You are committing treason. Just wait for me." After saying that, he turned and walked towards Qixia Courtyard.
Ah Man rubbed his nose and followed Lu Chao, not taking his threat seriously.
With the Third Miss around, she was not afraid of the Eldest Young Master's punishment. Even if she wanted to retaliate, the Eldest Young Master was too weak to do so. She could beat him to tears with just one hand.
Lu Chao walked into the flower hall with an ugly face and sat down. Lu Xiang was having breakfast at this moment. The small round table was filled with breakfast. Although it was not luxurious, it looked good and made people salivate.
"Why is your breakfast so rich?" Lu Chao asked subconsciously.
He is the eldest son of the Lu family, and he is only worthy of light porridge and side dishes?
Lu Xiang was holding up his chopsticks, stunned by Lu Chao's sudden question.
You come here in a rage and ask this as soon as you sit down?
"Because my grandmother dotes on me, my father loves me, and my sister-in-law protects me."
Lu Chao's face suddenly turned dark.
The whole family dotes on Lu Xiang from top to bottom, it's incomparable.
Lu Chao didn't want to continue this topic, feeling sad, so he asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Yunzha, Wuyue, close the gate and guard it well." Lu Xiang ordered, and then said to Ah Man: "Ah Man, bring the people over here."
Yunzha and Wuyue went to close the gate and stood guard there.
They knew that Ah Man brought back a brothel madam last night, and they were also aware that the eldest young master had a mistress, but they didn't dare to say more.
"Miss, have you finished eating?" Ah Man asked.
Lu Xiang: “Not yet.”
"Then wait until the young lady finishes eating before I bring someone over. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat for a while."
Lu Xiang glanced at Lu Chao and nodded.
Lu Chao was so angry that his mouth was shaking: "If you have something to say, please tell me now. I still have to go to class."
Did you call me here just to watch you eat breakfast?
Lu Xiang drank the porridge and ate the spring rolls slowly: "Brother, why are you in such a hurry? People who don't know you would think you are very hardworking."
"Does diligence have a direct relationship with my studies? Besides, I can pass the imperial examination without diligence." Lu Chao said, reaching out to pinch a spring roll and started eating.
You know what, it’s quite delicious.
Isn’t Qiao Jingru in charge of the Lu family now? Why isn’t this spring roll included in his breakfast today?
Lu Xiang looked at the mysteriously confident Lu Chao with a look of doubt.
Why did he think he would definitely pass the imperial examination? Lu Chao might be smart and learn quickly, but that couldn't hide the fact that he failed the imperial examination in his previous life.
Lu Xiang didn't argue with him about this. After breakfast, he asked Ah Man to bring the madam over.
As soon as the handkerchief was removed from her mouth, the madam shouted in horror: "Who are you and what do you want to do?"
Lu Chao looked at the madam in confusion, then at Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang said: "I don't want to do anything. I just need you to answer a few questions honestly and I'll let you go."
The madam rolled her eyes slightly and said nothing.
Ah Man kicked her from behind and said fiercely, "Answer the truth. Do you hear me? If I find out you are lying, I can catch you once and kill you again."
The madam was startled, her body shuddered, and she nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I will tell you everything the girl wants to know."
"Rong Yin knows, right?" Lu Xiang said.
Speaking of Rong Yin, Lu Chao couldn't help but look at the madam.
The madam gave a flattering smile and said, "I don't know which Rong Yin you are talking about, but there is indeed a courtesan named Rong Yin in our brothel. She was rented out three months ago for five hundred taels. They said they came because of her fame and wanted Rong Yin to go to the capital to serve for half a year and then send her back after half a year."
When Lu Chao heard this, his expression suddenly froze and he looked at the madam in astonishment.
Rong Yin, the courtesan of a brothel?
Lu Xiang gave Ah Man a look of warning, and Ah Man immediately took out Rong Yin's portrait and asked her to identify it. The madam nodded repeatedly after seeing it: "Yes, yes, it's her. How could the young lady know Rong Yin? Did something happen to her?"
Lu Xiang did not answer the madam's words, but looked at Lu Chao with sarcasm, as if his eyes were saying: Look, this is the woman you like so much. She has to sing in the teahouse to make a living. It is obvious that she is an oinster from a brothel who comes specifically to deceive fools like you.
Lu Chao was so shocked when he suddenly learned of Rong Yin's identity that his head was buzzing. Lu Xiang's undisguised ridicule made him feel ashamed and angry.
"Was this the young man who took Rong Yin away?" Lu Xiang pointed at Lu Chao and asked.
The madam shook her head: "No."
Lu Chao glared at Lu Xiang: "I don't go to brothels."
Lu Xiang glared back: You already have a mistress, is it more noble to emphasize that you don't visit brothels?
Lu Chao choked with anger.
Lu Xiang continued to ask the madam: "Did the other party say which family it was?"
"No, the man looked like someone who was not easy to deal with. He didn't say much and gave me the money promptly. I let him take me away after he signed the document." Rong Yin's indenture was still in her hand, so she was not afraid that she would run away.
Lu Xiang: "What name did you sign?"
"My name is Yi Lin."
Ah Man took it to heart and decided to investigate this person carefully.
"Brother, do you have anything to ask?" Lu Xiang looked at Lu Chao with a faint smile, which seemed to have some ill intentions.
Lu Chao glanced away from her, his thin lips tightly pursed, not knowing what he was thinking.
The madam was in a panic: "Miss, can you please let me go? My sudden disappearance must scare the girls and servants in the building to death. If they report it to the authorities, there will be a big misunderstanding."
Lu Xiang sneered. Use the official position to pressure her?
However, her purpose was not to kill the madam. She asked Ah Man to take the person out of the house and called a car for her to leave the capital.
Lu Chao looked very unhappy when he left.
