Chapter 159 The Secret of Saint Jingli
late at night.
Lu Chaochao tiptoed out of the door.
Riding a dog, he stood under the wall with his jade book and jade zither.
The wind-chasing dog barked twice.
A man jumped over the wall and carried Lu Chaochao out of the house in a few seconds.
Rong Che asked in a low voice: "Where should I send you? Don't tell your mother that I carried you out!"
Lu Chaochao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Chaochao will never betray me!"
"Go to the Marquis' Mansion."
Rong Che and Lu Chaochao carefully bypassed the guards on duty and soon arrived outside the marquis' mansion.
"What's the point of carrying this thing? It stinks!" Rong Che pinched his nose.
It's bad enough to visit late at night, but he also brought shit
"Chao Chao is useful!" Lu Chao Chao knew that there was a dog hole in the outer wall of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Wait outside." Lu Chaochao made a gesture and immediately took Yu Shu through the dog hole.
Rong Che scratched his head. He couldn't understand why things turned out like this.
He just wanted to please Yunniang's children and have them speak well of him.
Can……
He was Lu Chaochao's accomplice and also leaked information to Lu Chaochao. It seemed a little strange.
"Sister Yushu, come with me quickly..." Lu Chaochao crawled through the dog hole.
I thought it would take a lot of effort to hide from the guards.
Who would have thought that in order to reduce the share of the mansion, Pei actually withdrew half of the guards.
She didn't even need to spend energy hiding and could just walk around the mansion with a swagger.
From time to time, you can hear the little maid's complaints and curses.
"You rotten heartless thing, even your hard-earned money is deducted!"
"What's the point of being a marquis if you don't have money?"
"They only know how to act arrogantly in front of us, but they dare not say a word outside!"
"Okay, okay, sister, stop scolding. Be careful that the lady will hear it and scold you again." A little maidservant advised.
Another cursed again: "So what if you heard it? Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty when you have no money? I have never heard of any mistress deducting the monthly wages from the maids! She was the one who asked to spend the money, and now she blames me?"
"Deduct half a year's salary from me!"
"A concubine is a concubine. How can she compare to Madam Xu who was born in an aristocratic family? Madam Xu is generous and kind, and never deducts from the lower class. Life was so good in the past."
Several maids all sighed.
"Why did the Marquis take a fancy to Mrs. Pei and drive Mrs. Xu out of the house?"
"And the eldest son, he was originally a paraplegic, and now he has passed the imperial examination. I think the old lady must be regretting it."
"If the eldest son gets the top three places in the imperial examination, I'm afraid he'll be so angry that he'll die."
"I saw Madam Xu today. After only one year of hard work, she is actually prettier than Madam Pei. Oh, you didn't see Madam Pei's expression. Tsk tsk...she deserves it."
Everyone gloated over the other's misfortune.
"The money I earn in a year now is not even one-third of what Mrs. Xu used to make... Alas..." Everyone sighed.
If the master is immoral, the servants will also suffer.
Lu Chaochao tiptoed to the window and took a peek, and saw the little maid spitting into Pei's teacup.
The little guy covered his mouth and laughed.
The little guy strolled around the yard and entered Deshan Hall.
First I went to check the rag doll I had placed there.
The rag doll and Buddha statue in the Buddhist hall are gone. I guess the old lady was heartbroken enough that she no longer had the heart to worship Buddha.
Lu Chaochao entered Deshan Hall again.
The lights in Deshan Hall were dim and the air was filled with the smell of medicine.
Lu Chaochao covered her nose.
There is always a dead and sickly smell.
The nanny was massaging the old lady's legs: "Old lady, don't be too anxious. Young Master Jing Huai is a talented young man praised by the whole capital. He was assigned to the Shit Division this time, and he was seriously ill, so he must have performed poorly."
"I will definitely be able to avenge my previous shame in the imperial examination."
The old lady was lying on the couch with a hot towel on her forehead. She had a severe headache.
"I love him more than Yanshu. For him, I even removed Yanshu from the family tree. He must strive for excellence."
"He can lose to anyone, but he must not lose to Yanshu! Otherwise, where will the reputation of the Marquisate be?"
The old lady felt a little regretful.
I should have waited another year and postponed it for another year!
"I only hope that I can win the imperial examination and surpass Yan Shu." The old lady regretted vaguely that life in the Marquis' Mansion would be too difficult without Xu.
Although Pei was her niece from her mother's side, she was born into a poor family and was not very wealthy.
"Don't worry, Master Jinghuai will definitely bring the top scholar back to the Marquis' Mansion and won't let you down. The abbot of the Huguo Temple personally said that the Marquis' Mansion will produce a noble person. Is it true?"
"That's true. He said that a marquis's mansion will produce a number one scholar, and a marquis's mansion will produce a noble lady, which is definitely true."
"Rub your hands and feet more. They're very numb." The old lady said softly.
Ever since Pei came into the mansion, the palace physician who originally lived in the mansion was dismissed, and she hasn't asked for Ping An's pulse for more than half a year.
Lu Chaochao was lying outside the door, and Yu Shu cursed secretly: "You still want to be the top scholar, what a joke."
The two of them secretly ran to Lu Jinghuai's yard.
The few guards in the mansion all looked idle.
Pei's family withheld monthly wages, and the servants had to rely on their monthly allowance to make ends meet, and had long been complaining.
He moved into the courtyard that once belonged to Lu Yanshu. At this moment, the courtyard was extremely quiet.
Lu Chaochao did not come closer.
I could only vaguely hear him say, "Send the letter to the embassy in person and give it to Saint Jingli."
The servant smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my job, please rest assured."
"From what I have seen, Saint Jingli treats you differently. Today, I advised you not to be saddened by what others say."
"Saint Jingli loved your letter so much that I heard she kept it in her hands every day. She often recited: I searched for her among the crowd for hundreds of times, but when I turned around, she was there, in the dimming lights."
A smile appeared between Lu Jinghuai's brows.
"How can Miss Jiang compare to Saint Lady Jingli? Besides, Saint Lady is of noble status, so she is worthy of you, young master."
"Stop joking and deliver the letter quickly. Don't let any news leak out and don't let the Jiang family know." Lu Jinghuai warned seriously.
The servant agreed and quickly went out.
Lu Jinghuai's smile faded slightly. Today, he has been staying in the Western Vietnamese Embassy.
He knew that his talent and learning were not as good as Lu Yanshu's.
I know that all of this is plagiarized.
With the help of Lu Yanshu's past articles and the famous poems throughout history given to him by his sister, he might be able to make it into the top three.
But when it comes to facing Lu Yanshu, it would be like an insurmountable mountain.
It is unattainable and can only be admired.
Today, everyone's disdainful ridicule was like a sharp weapon, piercing his self-esteem.
In the future, he will definitely get them back one by one!
Yu Shu's face turned red with anger: "He actually hooked up with Saint Jingli? What virtue and ability does he have to be worthy of the saint? Saint, please don't be deceived by him..." Saint Jingli is the one that the whole capital city yearns for.
Lu Chaochao frowned and was flirting with Saint Jingli?
"Your third brother also said that he wanted to marry a girl like Saint Jingli."
Lu Chaochao waved her hands in fear: "No, no, no, that's not necessary."
Saint Jingli, don’t touch her! !
Oh my god, Saint Jingli is...
Lu Jinghuai sees Saint Li on camera, so exciting! !
