Chapter 588 The Sixth Miss is in Trouble
It was almost evening when Chu Jinyan reluctantly sent Lu Xiang back.
Lu Xiang watched his carriage leave and was about to enter the mansion, but suddenly heard an urgent voice coming from afar.
"Miss Third, Miss Third..."
Lu Xiang stopped and looked sideways. It took him a while to see clearly that the person running towards him was Qiu Ying.
At this moment, she looked flustered, and even her hair was messed up because she ran so fast.
Lu Xiang walked down the stairs quickly, and Qiu Ying ran up to him: "Why did you come back alone? Where's the Sixth Miss? What happened?"
She was Lu Qiao's maid. The Wu family had a banquet today, so she followed Lu Qiao to the Wu family for the banquet. But now she came back alone, and she looked so embarrassed. Lu Xiang couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart.
"Sixth Miss is in trouble at the Wu family. I have no choice but to sneak back here to ask for help while no one is paying attention. Please ask Third Miss to save Sixth Miss."
As soon as Qiuying finished speaking, Lu Xiang grabbed her and quickly got into the carriage.
The ones who followed Lu Xiang out of the house today were Yun Zha and Wu Yue. Seeing this, they followed him into the car.
The driver cracked his whip and the carriage sped away.
On the way, Qiuying finally had time to explain what had happened one by one.
The Wu family held a banquet and naturally many young ladies attended. Although Lu Qiao was a concubine's daughter, even if some people disdained to associate with her, they would not make things difficult for her for the sake of the Lu family.
But there are always some people in this world who think highly of themselves.
"Miss Qi insisted that Miss Six stole her jade pendant. Miss Six was so angry that she argued with her. In the heat of the moment, they started fighting. Then a jade pendant fell from Miss Six's body. Miss Qi said it was hers, but I swear to heaven that Miss Six never took Miss Qi's jade pendant. Miss Six didn't know when the jade pendant was put on her body. Miss Six had no way to defend herself and was accused of being a thief by everyone, bringing shame to the Lu family."
Qiu Ying's face was filled with anger when she thought of the injustice and humiliation her young lady had suffered that day.
Lu Xiang listened quietly. Under his calm face, there seemed to be a huge rage brewing. He tightened and loosened his knuckles, "Why did everyone believe what Miss Qi said, but no one believed Sixth Sister?"
Even if she was not granted marriage by imperial decree, her father was the Minister of Works. Do they look down on the Lu family so much?
Qiu Ying: "Because Miss Qi said that her jade pendant was given by Princess Wen Shuang, and it has a special meaning."
Hearing this, Lu Xiang understood.
Since Miss Qi brought out such a backer, it was naturally impossible for those people to say the opposite. Would they deny Princess Wen Shuang for the sake of a concubine's daughter of the Lu family?
To take a step back, even if someone notices something is wrong, they will choose to protect themselves first.
After all, the jade pendant did fall off Lu Qiao's body.
This sudden change must have left Lu Qiao with no time to react, and the change in her expression must have made them realize that this thing was not Lu Qiao's.
"Princess Wen Shuang is there too?" Lu Xiang asked.
"No." Qiu Ying shook her head, then looked at Lu Xiang worriedly and said, "Miss San, do you have any solution?"
The Sixth Miss was bullied. She was angry but didn't know what to do. She subconsciously thought of helping the Third Miss, but now she found that this was a dead end. There was no witness and the Sixth Miss had no way to defend herself. Even if the Third Miss went, those people dared not say anything because the Third Miss had already been confirmed as the Eighth Imperial Concubine and allowed the Third Miss to take the Sixth Miss away. However, in their hearts, they still believed that the Sixth Miss had stolen something and her reputation was ruined.
