Chapter 55 You Have the Final Say
"Tell the servants in the garden to ask Manager Zhou to come see me when he's free." Lu Xiang said, "Let's go find my sister-in-law."
The person is in the mansion and can't run away anyway.
"Yes, ma'am."
Yun Zha responded, and had not walked far when he was knocked down by someone who suddenly rushed from the corner.
With a thud, Yun Zha sat down on the ground, grimacing in pain. In the distance, an angry voice was getting closer and closer: "Stop right there, you little bitch! I'll skin you alive when I catch you."
"Wuwuwu...my butt." Yun Zha felt like his bones were about to break.
The culprit originally wanted to run away, but when he heard Yun Zhe's cry of pain, he hesitated for a moment and fell back, grabbed her arm, and lifted Yun Zhe up.
"Yun Zha, are you okay?" Lu Xiang asked worriedly.
Yun Zhai wrinkled her face, tears welling up in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "It hurts."
When the girl heard this, her round little face was filled with helplessness and uneasiness: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into this sister." Oh, it's over, she's in big trouble, she's going to be kicked out, His Highness will throw her to the camp to train soldiers.
Woo, she doesn’t want that. Military training is too hard. She can only eat two meals a day, and she still can’t be full.
When the girl thought of the consequences of not having enough to eat, she immediately revealed an expression that was even more aggrieved than Yun Zha's.
As she was talking, the person behind her caught up with her. Seeing that the girl stopped there and didn't run, she immediately held her knees and panted. Then she pointed her index finger at her angrily, "No... Don't run. I'm so tired."
This girl is so good at running that he has chased her around the Lu Mansion twice.
"Manager Zhou, what are you doing?" Lu Xiang supported Yun Zha and asked with a serious face.
The steward of the Lu Mansion actually chased after a maid. Did he want to force her to do something shameful?
Manager Zhou was frightened by Lu Xiang's slightly sharp gaze, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "I am honored to meet the Third Miss. You may not know that this girl is not clean and actually steals food. How can we keep such a dirty girl in our house? So I am going to capture her and sell her off."
Third Miss?
The girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and she jumped behind Lu Xiang. She looked at Lu Xiang with her dark eyes, pulling her sleeves and said excitedly, "My servant Ah Man, Miss Third, please save me. Manager Zhou is talking nonsense."
Lu Xiang listened to the voice and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
this……
It's quite different from the image of aloof, arrogant and beautiful that she had imagined.
"You bitch, don't be rude to the Third Miss." Manager Zhou cursed angrily.
"Manager Zhou, the new maids are ignorant and just need to be taught slowly."
Manager Zhou was stunned, thinking to himself, is Miss Three asking him to make a big deal out of a small matter? This wouldn't matter at any other time, but...
"Miss Third, although the Lu family doesn't lack for food, Ah Man's stealing behavior is unacceptable. Who knows if she will steal other important things in the future."
Manager Zhou was unyielding, and looked as if he was determined to catch Ah Man and give her a good beating, which made Lu Xiang narrow his eyes.
Her bright eyes were slightly curved, and her gentle and sharp expression was fully revealed, which made people feel cold as soon as they met her. Manager Zhou felt his hands and feet become cold, and a trace of uneasiness was beating faintly in his heart.
It's fine for others, but Ah Man is someone close to Chu Jinyan. If she really has dirty hands, how can a dignified prince keep her? And send her to her side. Doesn't he have any face?
Something is not right with the steward this week.
"Ah Man, go ahead."
Lu Xiang said without turning his head.
When Ah Man saw that the Third Miss was backing her up, she immediately became like a victorious goose, puffing out her chest and glaring at Manager Zhou with pride, making Manager Zhou so angry that he vomited blood.
"My dear Third Miss, I originally wanted to see Manager Zhou for something, but I found him in the kitchen. I saw that he had replaced the blood swallows that he was stewing for the master."
"Nonsense, it was obviously you who stole the blood swallow, and I found out and you came to accuse me. Miss Third, I have been in the Lu Mansion for many years, but today I was slandered by a new maid who has only been here a few days. I feel wronged." At the end, Manager Zhou slapped his thigh and felt sorry for himself.
The meaning of his words was clearly to tell Lu Xiang that he was an old man in the mansion, and A'man was just a new maid. Regardless of the weight of his words or the degree of trust, Lu Xiang should trust him instead of A'man.
It’s a pity that Manager Zhou didn’t know Ah Man’s identity, otherwise he would not dare to slander her at will.
Well……
Ah Man seemed to have thought of something, and he shrank his neck and choked.
Lu Xiang felt the person behind him take a deep breath and guessed that what Manager Zhou said was probably 70% false and 30% true.
Turning back, she looked at Ah Man, who was clasping his fingers guiltily, and asked, "Did you eat the blood swallow?"
"He took the blood swallow back to his room, and I followed him. As soon as I got back to the room, Manager Zhou went to the toilet. The fragrance went straight into my nose, and I couldn't resist and ate it."
Ah Man's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and he was so annoyed that he wished he could find a crack to crawl into.
How could I not help it?
Even if she eats, she has to choose the right time. Will the Third Miss be angry and kick her out?
Lu Xiang looked at Ah Man's wrinkled little face and chuckled. From these few words, he understood one of the main characteristics of this girl.
Greedy!
Okay, okay, after all, they were sent by Chu Jinyan. If she just chased them out, wouldn’t that be a slap in his face?
"Miss Third, I just like to eat a little bit. It's really that during these days since I came into the mansion, Manager Zhou was too mean and didn't let me eat enough. That's why I couldn't help it today. From now on, as long as I'm full, I will never be greedy." As she said this, Ah Man held out a little finger and pinched her fingertips to show that she really ate very little.
Lu Xiang: “…”
Was he complaining to her about the Lu family's harsh treatment of her diet?
Okay, okay, you are the ancestor and you have the final say.
There's nothing wrong with loving to eat, but are you afraid that Ah Man will eat you into poverty?
However, Lu Xiang later discovered that she was too young after all. She seriously suspected that Chu Jinyan sent her here because he was afraid that A'man, the Great King, would go broke.
"Manager Zhou, today both of you have your own opinions on this matter, and neither of you has any clear evidence. Why don't we just stop here?" Lu Xiang said to Manager Zhou with a cold smile on his face.
Manager Zhou was just about to say that the damn girl had just admitted it, but as soon as he raised his head, he met Lu Xiang's cold eyes. The aggressive aura made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Yes, I will obey the Third Miss's orders." Manager Zhou responded respectfully with a fist salute.
He didn't dare to refute, otherwise the Third Miss would conduct a thorough investigation and he would not be able to cover up the fact that he replaced his master's supplements.
Compared to Ah Man eating his food, his own matter was obviously more serious. It was a good thing for him now that the Third Miss was suppressing it.
That little bitch Ah Man will have plenty of opportunities to deal with her.
