Chapter 355: Noticed
Liu Anyao put down the teacup in her hand and said with a bad look, "You are right. If I go to the banquet, Lu Xiang will definitely be on guard and it will be difficult for him to take action. I'm sure my cousin's wife won't dare to perfunctorily deal with me."
"It would be fine if the Second Imperial Concubine did not agree to help Madam, but since she agreed, she will definitely do her best to help Madam. After all, if she wants to stay in the position of the principal consort, she still has to rely on Madam."
The fourth young lady of the mansion is about to enter the second prince's mansion as a concubine. If the second imperial concubine becomes an enemy of the lady, and the fourth young lady joins forces with concubine Xu, the second imperial concubine's life in the mansion will be difficult.
The Liu family is the Second Prince's greatest reliance, and the Second Princess has no choice.
In the pavilion, a maid found Linglong, the maidservant beside the Second Imperial Concubine, and leaned over to whisper something in her ear.
After hearing what the maid said, Linglong immediately turned back to the Second Princess.
"What's wrong?" asked the Second Princess.
Linglong whispered, "The maid said that Third Miss Lu sent her to come to you, the Imperial Concubine, saying that Tuanzi suddenly went crazy, broke free from Third Miss and ran away, so she came to ask Second Imperial Concubine what to do now?"
The Second Imperial Concubine frowned: "Lu Xiang sent someone to ask me? Tuanzi is the Third Imperial Concubine's cat, why didn't she report it to the Third Imperial Concubine?"
She always felt weird.
Linglong said, "I told the maid the same thing. I told her to tell Miss Lu San, but the maid said that Miss Lu San meant that Tuanzi ran to her from the imperial concubine's hands and you asked her to take good care of him. He suddenly disappeared. She was afraid that if she reported directly to the Third Imperial Concubine, she would blame the master. Besides, there were many distinguished guests in the garden. If she offended anyone, she would not be able to explain herself."
The Second Princess's mouth twitched involuntarily. Would Lu Xiang be so kind as to not have the heart to let the Third Princess blame her?
I guess he can't wait to step on it again.
"Lu Xiang must have noticed something. He really underestimated her. No wonder Liu Anyao is so wary of her and wants to get rid of her as soon as possible."
Linglong was confused: "Ah? How can you say that, Master?"
The Second Imperial Concubine looked at Linglong and said, "My intuition tells me that she probably let Tuanzi go on purpose so that I wouldn't be able to explain to my Third Brother's wife."
She thought so because Lu Xiang had been on guard against her from the beginning and didn't believe her, just as she didn't believe what Lu Xiang said at this moment.
"What should we do now?" Linglong asked.
The Second Princess: "Let's go find Tuanzi first, and then take advantage of the opportunity to act."
However, if Lu Xiang really saw through her methods, she would definitely not be able to accomplish her goal today. If she wanted to get rid of Lu Xiang, she would have to rely on someone else.
Her vigilance was too high.
The Second Princess found an excuse and took Linglong out of the pavilion.
The maid who came to deliver the message had not left yet. Seeing this, Linglong couldn't help but ask, "Do you have anything else to do?"
The maid bowed to the Second Imperial Concubine, then said respectfully, "Miss Lu told me that if the Second Imperial Concubine wants to look for Tuanzi, she should lead me to the place where Tuanzi ran away. She has already gone to look for him elsewhere."
The Second Princess glanced at the maid calmly, and then said, "Let's go."
The maid led the way and stopped not far from the lotus pond. She turned to the Second Imperial Concubine and said, "Second Imperial Concubine, this is where I heard Miss Lu's exclamation. She also said that when they got here, Tuanzi suddenly jumped out of her arms and ran away."
Linglong looked at the bushes nearby and said, "Princess, I will go look over there."
"Yes." The Second Princess nodded, then took out a purse from her waist and handed it to Linglong, saying, "This contains the dried fish that Tuanzi likes to eat. You can use it to tempt it. Maybe it will come out by itself when it smells the smell."
"Yes." Linglong took the purse, bent down and went to find the cat while meowing.
The Second Imperial Concubine then searched along the way, saying that she was asked to find the cat. One couldn't let a dignified imperial concubine run into the bushes with her body bent, so this job was left for the servant to do.
The maid who led the way was also sensible and offered to look for it on the other side.
The Second Imperial Concubine couldn't ask for more.
The maid was about to leave when she suddenly said to the Second Imperial Concubine, "Second Imperial Concubine, please don't move. I saw a caterpillar on your shoe.
”
When the Second Princess heard this, her body suddenly stiffened. When she thought of the soft, fat bug, she felt sick all over.
"Hurry... help me get rid of it."
This is disgusting. Does no one take care of the garden? There are even caterpillars.
The maidservant squatted down without waiting for the Second Princess to bring it up. After taking away the bug, she carefully used a handkerchief to wipe the surface of the Second Princess' shoes clean.
"Second Princess, everything is fine now." The maid stood up and said.
The Second Imperial Concubine was already so disgusted that she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. She hated these soft flesh worms so much that she wanted to take off her shoes and throw them away.
But she couldn't appear barefoot in front of people, otherwise where would she put her face as an imperial concubine?
The Second Princess was so immersed in the nausea caused by the bugs that she didn't notice the abnormality when the maid was polishing her shoes.
At this time, the maid seemed to have seen something, pointed to the river bank and exclaimed: "Second Princess, I saw Tuanzi running over there."
The Second Princess stamped her feet, her face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, and walked in the direction the maid pointed.
At the same time, behind a locust tree, Ah Man was holding Tuanzi, stroking her with his fingers from time to time. Lu Xiang was standing far away, but from his angle he could see everything here clearly.
She guessed that when she collided with someone earlier, the rouge and powder spilled all over the ground had the scent that Tuanzi liked, and that the powder got on her body, which was why Tuanzi stuck to her so much.
Ah Man took Tuanzi away from her by force. The little guy meowed as if he was being abused. It was a horrible sight.
However, away from Lu Xiang, Tuanzi calmed down.
The main thing is the comfort of being rubbed.
Seeing the Second Imperial Concubine getting closer and closer to him, Ah Man calculated the time and threw the dumpling in his hand forward.
Tuanzi, who was enjoying the caressing just a moment ago, was suddenly thrown away and fell to the ground with his cat face dazed.
"Second Princess, here." The maid pointed at Tuanzi who was squatting on the ground and shaking his fur, then squatted down and picked up Tuanzi.
The Second Princess walked towards Tuanzi with an unpleasant look on her face, this useless little thing.
"Give it to me." She reached out to the maid, wanting to take the cat, wondering in her mind whether it was still necessary to carry out her plan.
The Second Imperial Concubine asked for a cat, so the maid naturally gave it to her, even though it was the favorite pet of her family's imperial concubine.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, the cat in her hand began to struggle violently, accompanied by sharp cries. The maidservant did not go crazy for a moment, but screamed and let go.
Tuanzi suddenly pounced towards the Second Imperial Concubine. The Second Imperial Concubine couldn't dodge and was pounced on by it. Its sharp claws scratched her face fiercely, and then Tuanzi's four hooves stepped hard on the Second Imperial Concubine's head...
