Chapter 218: Being ambushed
"Aman, where have you been? How did you get ambushed?" Qiao Jingru helped Aman put on his clothes again and asked as she looked at his nightgown.
Ah Man looked at Lu Xiang, asking with her eyes if her master could say it.
Lu Xiang pulled Ah Man to sit down, then looked at Qiao Jingru and said, "Rong Yin is not a good person. If we really take her into the mansion, we will leave a scourge. Since Big Brother is unwilling to turn back, I will get rid of her as soon as possible. But now it seems that things are not as simple as I thought."
Qiao Jingru stared at Lu Xiang in a daze, with a touching look in her eyes.
This was originally her own business, but Lu Xiang was always worried about her.
Ah Man said, "I waited for a few days and finally waited for that woman to return to Jilan Lane to get something. I found out where they were going to live and planned to take action at night. But just as I made my move, someone attacked me from behind. His martial arts skills were comparable to mine. He was masked and I couldn't recognize him."
Lu Xiang fell into deep thought: "A brothel girl actually has a master secretly protecting her. This is weird no matter how you look at it."
Ah Man said, "Miss, when you took me to find Rong Yin for the first time, I didn't sense any aura of a master around. This person either happened to appear today, or he has been secretly protecting Rong Yin since she moved away."
After a pause, she continued, "Could it be that because the eldest young master made a scene a few days ago, Aunt Yao guessed the young lady's intention and paid an expert to guard against it?"
Qiao Jingru listened to the two people talking in a daze, and couldn't help but said, "I don't think so. Although I don't know where you learned such good skills from and why you entered the Lu Mansion as a slave, you are a minority. We can't find anyone better than you in the Lu family. The monthly salary of the servants who know some martial arts in the mansion is several times higher than that of others, not to mention hiring a master to secretly protect one person. Aunt Yao may not be able to afford it."
Ah Man said silently in her heart: She was sent to the Third Miss by His Highness!
Lu Xiang nodded in agreement: "Yes, so I tend to think it's the person behind Aunt Yao. Judging from the current situation, Rong Yin's ultimate goal is probably not simple."
At least it is not as simple as just destroying Lu Dynasty.
If Aunt Yao was really so capable and competent, she wouldn't have been inferior to Madam Liu all these years.
"That man is injured. I will go again tomorrow night." Ah Man said.
Qiao Jingru hurriedly said: "Don't move for now. Since Rongyin is protected, they won't send only one person. You are also injured. There is no need to take risks again."
"Take good care of your injuries. If you fail to strike them, they will be more vigilant." Lu Xiang said, frowning fiercely: "But this may alert the enemy and cause trouble."
Qiao Jingru said: "Xiangxiang, you have done enough for me. Since this Rongyin is a restless person, I will never let her enter the Lu family. No matter how many tricks she has, she will have nowhere to display them."
"Well, you must not be soft-hearted."
The matter of Rong Yin was beyond her knowledge. She didn't know if it was the butterfly effect caused by her rebirth, or if there were many things in her previous life that she didn't know.
She needs to think about it carefully.
However, the next morning, Rong Yin knelt at the gate of the Lu Mansion, repeatedly begging the Lu family to spare her life.
The lonely, weak and beautiful woman's desperate pleas attracted a large number of passers-by. Even without being explicitly stated, everyone could imagine a big drama and pointed fingers at the Lu family.
Due to the huge impact, Lu Youping asked someone to invite Rongyin in before talking. Rongyin just screamed in fear, saying that she was afraid that the Lu family would quietly kill her as soon as she entered. She just wanted to see the eldest young master and beg him to have mercy on her and give her a chance to live.
Once these words were spoken, how could any smart person not understand?
Lu Youping was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. How could he go to the Ministry of Industry with Rong Yin making such a fuss at the door?
He angrily threw his official hat onto the table and ordered his servants, "Go and call the young master. His wounds haven't healed yet, so crawl over here."
The noise at the door was so loud that the servant not only called Lu Chao over, but also Lu Xiang and others who heard the news ran to the front yard.
Lu Chao did not go to see Lu Youping first, but hurried to the door and helped the kneeling Rong Yin up: "Come in and talk first."
Rong Yin seemed to have thought of something, and shivered in fear, saying weakly, "Master, I am afraid."
Lu Chao comforted him, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As he said that, he pulled Rongyin into the mansion, and Yunchun followed closely behind.
Seeing this, the servants hurriedly closed the door.
When the people found that there was no gossip to be found, they dispersed with laughter. However, they still had to talk about the excitement in front of the Lu family for a few days.
Lu Chao brought Rong Yin into the main hall. Lu Youping sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, staring at Rong Yin with his sharp black eyes.
Oh……
It turns out that those kept outside are not good.
Liu betrayed him, and Rong Yin also wanted to ruin the reputation of the Lu family.
"Just because you shamelessly ran to the door of my Lu Mansion and cried and made a scene, do you still want to enter my Lu family?" Lu Youping sneered unceremoniously.
"Dad, she is a weak woman, how can you say such things."
Lu Youping glared at Lu Chao angrily: "I haven't said anything more unpleasant yet."
Qiao Jingru stood beside Lu Xiang. It was the first time she saw this mistress. Seeing how carefully Lu Chao was protecting her, her face turned pale in an instant. It felt as if an invisible hand was pulling at her heart, making it painful even for her to breathe.
Her body swayed slightly and she seemed a little unsteady on her feet.
Aunt Lin and Lu Qiao also came to the front yard, and Aunt Yao also stood in the main hall, watching everything silently.
Rong Yin was irritated by Lu Youping's words and shook her head in grievance: "Sir Lu, it was really because the third young lady of your house was too aggressive and wanted to kill me. I had to come here to save my life."
Lu Chao was shocked: "What did you say?"
Rongyin cried with tears in her eyes, "Master, there is a maidservant next to the Third Miss who is very skilled. Last night, she ran to my residence and drew her knife to kill me. Mother Qian was unfortunately killed by her because she saved me. I took the opportunity to hit her with a stool, and when she couldn't stand steadily, Yunchun chopped her arm with a knife, and let her run away. I am afraid that I will not see the sun today."
Qiao Jingru said angrily with a gloomy face: "Nonsense, how can I, the people of the Lu Mansion, allow you to slander me at will."
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, call out the maidservants around the Third Miss and confront them to see if anyone has a knife wound on the arm."
Rong Yin glanced at Qiao Jingru, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes, and leaned towards Lu Chao's chest again, silently provoking him.
Lu Xiang's expression was icy cold. He glanced at Aunt Yao calmly, then sneered at Rong Yin, "Young lady, you are really good at turning the tables. My maid is not someone you, a brothel girl, can confront whenever you want."
