Chapter 571 Mother is Crazy
"Thank you!"
Song Yanjun nodded to He Zhiyan to express his gratitude, and then said no more and looked at Liu Liu.
Liu Liu understood and immediately came to his senses and took him to the back door.
Song Yanjun kept his head down all the way. When he was about to reach the back door, he met two old women. They were just servants. When they saw Liuliu, they politely called her "Miss Liuliu".
Liu Liu was so frightened that she subconsciously looked back at Song Yanjun, pretended to be calm, nodded to the two of them, and strode away.
The old woman had no suspicion of anything, and had no right to stop it.
It was not until he went out the back door and saw the carriage parked in the alley that Liu Liu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother." Lu Xiang saw Song Yanjun and hurriedly got out of the car. Then he noticed his wet hair and was stunned.
Before Lu Xiang approached him, Song Yanjun took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance, and said with a frown, "Don't come over."
Lu Xiang looked at Song Yanjun with a puzzled look, and a trace of uneasiness rose faintly: "What...what happened?"
Song Yanjun took a deep breath and said quickly, "Xiangxiang, lend me your carriage. I'll go back home first. Please rent another carriage to go back."
He came to the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion for the banquet on horseback. In his current condition, he could not ride a horse at all, and he did not dare to ride in the same carriage with Lu Xiang. The heat that he had suppressed with great difficulty showed signs of recurring after walking all the way.
Song Yanjun was afraid that he would lose control and rationality, which would lead to his death.
Seeing that Song Yanjun's face looked strange, with an abnormal redness in his paleness, Lu Xiang did not dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly told Ah Man and Yun Lu to get out of the car.
"Musheng, be careful." Lu Xiang reminded the driver.
Mu Sheng nodded, and immediately galloped away after Song Yanjun got on the carriage.
Watching the carriage gradually go away, Lu Xiang retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Liu with a slightly gloomy look: "Liu Liu, what's going on?"
Liu Liu looked at Lu Xiang with a sad face, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated: "Miss Third, I don't know either."
This was how she felt when she met Prince Song. Since her mistress didn't say anything, even if she had any guesses, she wouldn't dare speak nonsense without confirmation.
Lu Xiang pursed her lips, and no one continued to ask: "You should go back quickly. Sister Yan, if you have any problems, come to me immediately."
The Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion was in chaos right now, and it would be inappropriate for her to go in and ask what was going on, as that would easily attract attention.
"Yes, Miss Third, please take care. I'll take my leave." Liu Liu bowed and turned to enter the Marquis' Mansion.
Lu Xiang took Yunlu and A'man out of the alley on foot.
"Miss, please sit with the teahouse next to you for a while. I will go to the horse shop to rent a carriage." After leaving the alley, Yunlu said to Lu Xiang.
Lu Xiang: "Why don't we let Ah Man go?"
Yunlu shook her head and said, "Ah Man is good at fighting. I will stay with you. I will be back soon."
Seeing Yunlu's insistence, Lu Xiang smiled and nodded.
The horse carriage was not far away, and they didn't wait long before they saw a carriage coming towards them. It stopped in front of Lu Xiang, and Yun Lu got off.
When renting a carriage, the driver was also brought along.
Yunlu was good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, sewing and cooking, but as for the job of driving a carriage... she could only stare blankly. She only came to her senses after renting the carriage.
After Lu Xiang returned to the Lu Mansion, Yun Lu went to the palace. The second branch of the He family actually dared to set their sights on the prince. They were simply fed up with living.
When Qiao Jingru learned that Lu Xiang had returned, she immediately went to Qixiayuan with the gifts sent by Chen Pin.
"Why are you back so early?"
Lu Qiao immediately gave her an indescribable look, which made Qiao Jingru's mouth twitch slightly: "Nothing will happen, right?"
"Sister-in-law, you're awesome." Lu Qiao smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
Qiao Jingru glared at her, but seeing how cheerful Lu Qiao was, she thought it wasn't Lu Xiang and her who were in trouble, so she couldn't help but feel relieved: "I'm glad you're all right."
Lu Qiao took a sip of tea from the cup, and then said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, Third Sister is sharp-minded and noticed something strange..."
She had just said half of her words when Qiao Jingru suddenly jumped up from the stool in shock: "You have been tricked."
What do you mean by fortunately Lu Xiang was able to notice something unusual?
Could it be that someone in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion wanted to plot against them? Who is so bold as to do this?
Qiao Jingru looked at Lu Xiang with a slightly pale face, her eyes filled with worry.
"No, no." Lu Xiang quickly helped Qiao Jingru sit down and looked at her nervously: "Don't be nervous, sister-in-law, Sixth Sister only said half of what she said. Relax! Don't forget the baby in your belly."
Last time, because she was too excited when she heard that something happened to her, she suddenly had a stomachache and the fetus was unstable. Lu Xiang was really afraid that Qiao Jingru would have another miscarriage.
The baby is not even three months old yet, and she can’t stand her emotional ups and downs.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Lu Qiao was also startled and asked hurriedly.
Qiao Jingru sat down, calmed down, and said, "I'm fine."
"Are you really okay?" Lu Xiang confirmed again worriedly.
"Yeah." Qiao Jingru nodded.
Seeing that she really didn't look like she had a stomachache again, Lu Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and told her what happened in Wu'an Marquis' Mansion.
…
At the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion, Madam He wanted He Yu and his wife to help He Zhimiao clear her name. Song Yanjun didn't dare to think about it, but as the Marquis of Wu'an, it wouldn't be difficult for He Yu to find a legitimate son with a good family background for He Zhimiao.
When He Yu heard Madam He's unreasonable request, he was so angry that his face turned green, but because of Madam He's status as his stepmother, he managed to hold back and not curse.
The wife of Marquis Wu'an got so angry that she slammed the table and said angrily, "Mother, are you crazy? He Zhimiao is so shameless and yet you forced this hot potato into our hands. So many people have seen what He Zhimiao did. Do you think everyone else is stupid and won't spread this? He Zhimiao is shameless and has an affair with someone else for the sake of her reputation. Now she has implicated other unmarried daughters in the mansion. I haven't even settled accounts with your second branch yet, but you still want us to help you. How can you not be so happy?"
"How dare you!" Madam He was so angry at what the wife of Marquis Wu'an said that she felt dizzy before her eyes. She kept slamming the table to vent her anger: "He Yu is Marquis Wu'an. If he came forward to settle this matter, who would dare to gossip about it? He has the final say in this family. Why do you, a woman, have a say in this?"
He Yu looked at Madam He expressionlessly and said, "Even if the king of heaven came, he would not be able to stop the people from talking nonsense. If the second son wants to marry his daughter into a wealthy family, let him figure it out himself. I won't get involved in this mess."
"Brother, don't you even listen to mother? You are being disobedient and unfilial." He Xiong said angrily when he saw that He Yu didn't care.
He Yu raised his eyes and gave He Xiong a cold look, then looked at Madam He and said, "It is precisely because I am filial to my mother that I have been taking care of her wholeheartedly for so many years. It is my tolerance that has made you forget your own status. I guess nothing a stepson like me can do will satisfy you. In this case, mother should go live with her own son."
