Chapter 275 The Man Behind the Scenes
Furong Pavilion gradually became famous among the powerful and wealthy in the capital, and its business gradually got on track.
Lu Xiang had the memories of his previous life, and all kinds of novel patterns and designs emerged one after another. He also found embroiderers with superb embroidery skills. The clothes made by them were several blocks ahead of other silk shops in the capital, and people couldn't put them down.
"Huh?" Suddenly, Mu Sheng, the coachman, exclaimed.
Ah Man lifted the curtain and asked, "Mu Sheng, what happened?"
Mu Sheng pulled the reins, slowed down the carriage, and replied, "Miss Third, I just saw Aunt Yao go to that alley."
Because Lu Xiang often went out of the house, she specially chose Mu Sheng to drive the carriage for her, so he was also her man.
Hearing this, Lu Xiang asked, "Are you sure it's Aunt Yao?"
Mu Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I am sure. Although she was masked, I saw Madam Zhou. And that figure was undoubtedly Aunt Yao."
Lu Xiang asked Mu Sheng to stop the car and got out with A Man.
"You wait here, Ah Man and I will go take a look."
"Yes, Third Miss." Mu Sheng didn't ask any more questions and drove the carriage to an open space on the side.
Ah Man walked in front, and Lu Xiang walked behind her, and they entered the alley that Mu Sheng mentioned.
If it was someone else, Lu Xiang would not have any suspicion, but if it was Aunt Yao, she would have to be suspicious.
The alley is very long and there are no people living on both sides. It looks like the backyard of a mansion.
At an intersection, Lu Xiang vaguely heard voices. Without her telling anything, Ah Man tiptoed onto the top of the wall and quickly disappeared around the corner.
After a while, Ah Man came back.
"Miss, I think it's Aunt Yao. The person she's talking to is sitting in the carriage and can't be seen. There's a patch of grass in front, so you can hide there."
Lu Xiang nodded, and quietly hid in the grass following the direction of Ah Man's finger.
Ah Man squatted on the top of the wall and used a dense branch to hide his body.
Although he couldn't see anyone, the voice of Aunt Yao talking to someone reached Lu Xiang's ears clearly.
"I have provided you with so many conveniences, but you still can't even move a hair. You are such a waste. If I had known you were so useless, why would I have wasted so much time on you?"
Aunt Yao's face was ugly after being scolded, but she dared not speak out: "Lu Xiang is really hard to deal with. The entire Lu family is in her hands. After the first attempt failed, she had already torn her face with me. It is undoubtedly difficult to get rid of Lu Xiang quietly again."
Lu Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sarcastic smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.
What an unexpected gain.
She had been searching for such a long time, but she only found Yi Lin. Today, she unexpectedly ran into Aunt Yao and the person behind her.
Can't sit still anymore?
And the voice in the carriage was extremely familiar to Lu Xiang.
Liu Anyao!!!
It's really like searching for something in vain. Liu Anyao couldn't sit still anymore when she saw that she couldn't kill herself.
Come to think of it, even if Aunt Yao tried every means to get rid of her, she had almost no chance to do so in the Lu family. What's more, she had a falling out with Aunt Yao, and Aunt Yao didn't dare to act rashly without a way to eliminate her in one fell swoop, otherwise she would only end up getting burned.
"I don't care. I helped you plot against Lu Chao and tried to destroy him so that your son would inherit the Lu family in the future. I have spared no effort to help you succeed, and I also want to see corresponding rewards, otherwise I will kill you first." Liu Anyao said hatefully.
In the past, she could wait and let Yao slowly make plans, and she didn't mind Yao using her to eliminate dissidents.
But now Liu Anyao wanted to cut Lu Xiang into pieces all the time. Seeing that Yao benefited in every way with her help, but she didn't even hurt Lu Xiang, how could Liu Anyao tolerate this.
Ever since her reputation was damaged by Lu Xiang's scheme, her mother had kept her in the house, fearing that she would get into trouble again if she went out, and that the rumors outside would ruin her mood.
Because her wedding date was approaching, she got the opportunity to leave the house under the pretext of going to get the jewelry she had made, so she couldn't wait to ask someone to call Yao out.
If I don't warn her properly, I'm afraid Yao will forget what she should do.
Aunt Yao lowered her head in fear and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely live up to your expectations."
She didn't know who the other party was, she only knew that her identity was very noble. When the other party approached her for the first time, she agreed to cooperate with him without hesitation.
After all, this man could give her much more than Liu at that time.
Facts proved that her decision was right. Liu was trapped in Lu Xiang's trap and had no chance to fight back. She even lost her life in the end. Without Liu's help, she could hardly accomplish anything in the Lu family on her own. But with this man's help, even without Liu, she could still do what she wanted.
Lu Chao was kicked out of the Lu family. With just a little more push, she could make sure that Lu Chao would never be able to return to the Lu family, and her son would be the only heir to the Lu family.
She didn't know what hatred this man had against Lu Xiang, but as long as she could achieve her goal, there was nothing wrong with him helping her get rid of Lu Xiang. However, she didn't expect that Lu Xiang was not easy to deal with.
Although she is just a fifteen-year-old girl, she is fierce, smart and courageous, which makes people afraid.
"My patience is limited. You should decide for yourself." Liu Anyao said in a gloomy voice.
"Yes." Aunt Yao responded respectfully, feeling uneasy.
Liu Anyao didn't stay long and asked someone to drive the carriage out of the alley.
Aunt Yao held on to the wall with her weak legs, and it took a long time before she asked Mother Zhou to help her leave.
When the alley became quiet, Ah Man jumped down from the wall and pulled aside the grass to let Lu Xiang out.
"Miss, Aunt Yao has bad intentions and cannot be kept."
Lu Xiang's face was gloomy, and he slowly walked towards the street: "Well, now that we know who she works for, there is really no need to keep her. However, Rongyi's sudden death arouses suspicion. I will tell my grandmother to send Lu Xiao away first."
No matter whether Lu Xiao would hate her after learning the truth, at least Lu Xiang had no intention of dragging Lu Xiao into this mess.
What's more, separating Aunt Yao from her family and making her live in constant anxiety can also give her a good grief.
As they were talking, the two returned to the carriage.
Mu Sheng didn't ask any more questions and drove away in the carriage. Because Lu Xiang was delayed by meeting Aunt Yao, he did not go to Furong Pavilion first, but went to see Qiao Jingru.
Thinking of Aunt Yao's rivalry with Lu Chao, Lu Xiang couldn't help but give Qiao Jingru more instructions.
He also told Qiao Jingru not to interfere in anything that happened to Lu Chao.
What happened in his previous life left a shadow on Lu Xiang.
But now that his sister-in-law lives in the Qiao family, the experience is different from the previous life. Lu Xiang hopes that he is just worrying too much.
