Chapter 188: Kill Him All at Once
Although Lu Xiang said so, she was sure that Wan Mo was the second prince's man.
It wasn't what Ah Man saw, but something she knew in her previous life.
But Lu Xiang didn't know whether it was him who leaked Chu Jinyan's secret base this time.
"Yuanfeng, check Wanmo first, and kill him on the spot after finding out the truth." There was a hint of coldness in Chu Jinyan's cold eyes.
Yuan Feng: "Your Highness, don't you want to ask why he betrayed you?"
Wan Mo has followed His Highness for many years and once saved His Highness's life, so Yuanfeng could not understand how such a loyal Wan Mo could be a traitor and why he would betray His Highness.
Chu Jinyan: “No need.”
"Yes, I understand." Yuanfeng clenched his fists and gently closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Yuanfeng turned and left.
Lu Xiang also stood up to say goodbye, and Chu Jinyan stood up to see him off.
However, Lu Xiang had just taken two steps when he turned around and said, "Your Highness, please ask someone to pay attention to the Misty Rain Tower. If you have the ability to wipe him out, I believe you can make up for the loss this time."
Chu Jinyan was startled: "You..."
Lu Xiang looked at his surprised expression and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to ask any more questions. I will know and I have my own way. Your Highness, please stay, otherwise people will see and talk about you."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
There were many people getting off the boat at this time, and even though the place she was in was remote enough, it was still not safe.
The Misty Rain Tower was the property of the Second Prince. In everyone's eyes, it was a brothel, but who said that a brothel was not a great place to gather intelligence and plot? And the gold and silver they collected was also a considerable fortune.
Sheng Xian was shocked by Lu Xiang's words. After a long while, he turned his head and looked at Chu Jinyan: "Your Highness, are you going to build the Misty Rain Tower?"
Chu Jinyan: "Well, I think we can gain a lot."
From what Lu Xiang said, he always felt that it seemed to have something to do with the second brother.
In this case, we should do it even more.
When Lu Xiang returned to the Lu Mansion, the servant said that Lu Youping was waiting for her in the front hall, so she went to the front hall again.
"Dad, you're looking for me?"
When Lu Youping heard the voice, he immediately put down his teacup and looked at Lu Xiang with a loving smile.
"You're back. Where did you go today?"
He asked casually, but Lu Xiang felt inexplicably guilty.
"I didn't go anywhere, I was just strolling around, and then it started raining and I came back a little late."
Lu Youping nodded. He didn't want to know where Lu Xiang went. He continued, "The day after tomorrow, Madam Su will celebrate her 70th birthday. I've told your grandmother that I'll take you and your sister-in-law to the banquet. You should prepare in the next two days and dress up to go out on the day. Madam Jinyuan will definitely bring Master Zhang with her. You must not be outdone by the other daughters."
After thinking for a while, Lu Youping said, "But my daughter is extremely beautiful. She will definitely outshine all the other girls."
Now that the eldest son's wife is in charge of the family, Lu Chao, as the eldest son, will definitely be the head of the Lu family in the future, so his wife should also attend many banquets.
Lu Xiang said, "Dad, didn't we agree that the marriage at the Marquis Jinyuan's mansion was called off?" Why are you still thinking about it?
Lu Youping smiled awkwardly, "If we don't choose the Jinyuan Marquis's Mansion, there are other young masters from aristocratic families. The second young lady of the Su family is very likely to be the future Seventh Imperial Concubine. Her grandmother's birthday party, the young masters and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion should also give her face and attend. It would be a great thing if she can find a good match."
Lu Xiang twitched his lips speechlessly: "Seventh Imperial Concubine? Dad is talking about the Minister of Industry Su family?"
"That's right. Lord Su is Dad's immediate superior. He invited us so kindly. We must not lose our manners. You two sisters-in-law should pay more attention to the gift, okay?"
His performance evaluation at the end of the year depends entirely on Lord Su.
"Got it, Dad." Lu Xiang responded obediently: "Then if there is nothing else, I will go to discuss it with my sister-in-law."
"Okay, go ahead, go ahead."
If he could be favored by a young master from a prominent family and asked to marry him at the Su family banquet, he would have a powerful relative.
It's a pity that there is only one such outstanding daughter now, and Qiao'er is too young to get married.
Lu Xiang first went to find the old lady and asked her what gift she wanted to give to Old Madam Su. The old lady didn't say anything and just let the two of them do it.
On the day of the banquet, the old lady suddenly caught a cold and had a slight cough.
Lu Xiang wanted to stay and take care of the patient, but the old lady said that was not necessary.
"I can't go, so you two have to explain it for me. He's your father's superior, and if we don't go, we'll offend him."
So only Qiao Jingru and Lu Xiang went.
Lu Qiao watched the two people leaving in the carriage from afar, with the handkerchief in her hand twisted into a knot.
The Su family’s banquet must be attended by many dignitaries, so why didn’t her father let her go?
Su Family
It was Madam Su’s birthday, and almost half of the people in the capital knew that the Seventh Prince had been chasing after the Second Miss Su for some time, so everyone knew that Su Yunwan’s becoming the Seventh Imperial Concubine was probably a foregone conclusion.
Although the Seventh Prince's biological mother died early, that does not affect the Seventh Prince's dignity. To put it bluntly, he is afraid that he will not have the chance to become the Emperor, but he will be a prince in the future.
So almost everyone who was invited by the Su family came, and even those who couldn't come sent gifts.
Even though Su Yunwan and Song Zhenzhen were not on good terms in private, she had to treat her politely with a bright smile today.
After Qiao Jingru and Lu Xiang arrived, they were taken by a maid to where Old Madam Su was hospitalized.
There were many noble ladies sitting in Madam Su's room. The two of them bowed and congratulated her, and presented her with gifts. Then Lu Xiang smiled and said to Madam Su, "Madam, my grandmother suddenly coughed when she woke up early, and she was sick so she couldn't come. She asked me to apologize to Madam Su. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay. Is your grandmother seriously ill?" Old Madam Su said with a kind smile.
She is a bit chubby, with very fair skin, and when she smiles, the wrinkles on her face look like deep grooves.
"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. It's not a big deal."
Madam Su: "That's good. You two don't have to be so reserved. Just treat it as your own home and have fun. The flowers in the garden are blooming. Ask someone to take you to see them. There are many girls there, and they will talk about and play with things you like."
"Yes." Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru bowed in response.
Then another maid took the two of them out.
The Su Mansion was very lively. Not only were there young ladies admiring the flowers in the garden, but there were also many young masters. Some were sitting together chatting, while others were playing flying flowers with the girls. Everyone was having a great time.
"Sister-in-law, there are not many people in the pavilion over there. Let's sit there." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru nodded and went to the pavilion with Lu Xiang.
