Chapter 269 Mai Dong decides to go to Mobei
Mai Dong walked inside and said, "I came here today to tell you that Lord Zhao is willing to help my third brother. Thank you so much. I know you must have asked Lord Zhao to intercede for my brother many times..."
There is no pleading.
I just used my body to serve him for more than half a month, maybe that was the reason.
But she couldn't say that.
"Your Excellency and the Marquis have always been good friends. Your Excellency will definitely be willing to help. It's not necessarily all because of me."
“I didn’t do anything…”
Gao Wanxin didn't want Mai Dong to know that she was having a mistress.
She was afraid that Maidong would dislike her because of this.
She has always taught herself that as a woman, she must have an independent personality. She doesn't know what this means, nor does she quite understand it, but what Maidong said is right.
She felt that was right.
But she can't do it.
She felt guilty and didn't dare to face Maidong.
"Wanxin, thank you for your help. You don't know that my second brother Gu Heng has looked for Lord Zhao several times before, but he never showed up. Moreover, Lord Zhao also told me that he was willing to help because of your face."
"Your cousin is very good to you."
Gao Wanxin's face felt a little hot with embarrassment.
What cousin?
If he really treated her as his younger cousin, he wouldn't have such inappropriate thoughts about her.
If Maidong gave Gao Wanxin money, she would definitely not accept it, so Maidong bought a lot of rouge and powder.
When Gao Wanxin found out, she immediately stopped him and said, "Maidong, there's no need for this. You don't have to pay me by buying things."
Mai Dong had this idea in mind because she knew Gao Wanxin was not living a good life.
Maidong deliberately found an excuse.
"I forgot to tell you, I want to go to Mobei to visit my sister-in-law, so I want to bring some rouge and powder with me. Besides buying from you, I also want to buy some from other rouge shops and bring them to Mobei. Maybe I can make some money."
The business trip to Mobei was fake. She wanted to ask His Highness how to rescue her brother.
I can't let my brother stay in jail forever.
Also, she hoped that the princess sister-in-law could come back and support the marquis's mansion.
She didn't tell Gao Wanxin about this, and there was no need to tell her.
After hearing this, Gao Wanxin immediately sold all the items in her shop to Maidong, leaving only a few for her to open the shop and sell goods. It would only take a few days for Fang Jia to make a new batch and send it over.
After putting down the money and leaving two servants to pack the rouge and powder into boxes and take them away, Maidong left first.
Knowing that she was busy, Gao Wanxin didn't try to keep her.
Maidong bought a lot of rouge and powder on the street. She paid and asked the servant to wait for the delivery.
As she continued walking forward, she found someone catching up with her.
"Lu Yu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Maidong stood there, looking at the young man coming from behind.
Lu Yu walked up to Mai Dong, a serious look on his handsome face. "I didn't mean to do anything. I know you're going to Mobei, and I want to go with you. In today's world, it's not safe for you to go alone."
Mai Dong asked coldly, "As long as you follow me, I will be safe?"
"At least I went there once."
Mai Dong stared at Lu Yu and asked him, "When did it happen?"
"Don't worry about it." Lu Yu said, looking at Mai Dong. "I'm also moving goods this time, so it's a good opportunity to go with you. Don't worry, I'll remember everything you said."
What did she say?
I really can't remember it.
After all, she had said so many words to reject Lu Yu that he could no longer remember them.
Mai Dong didn't say anything else. After a pause, she said, "I'm leaving at the end of the month. Is it too late for you to prepare the goods now?"
Since they were going to Mobei together to do business, Maidong didn't object.
Lu Yu finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.
"I have some tea in my warehouse. It's the tea I picked after the rainy season last year. The quality isn't very good, and I can't get a good price in Kyoto. That's why I thought of trying Mobei. There's a huge trade market there, and many foreigners come to exchange and trade. If I can sell it to people from other countries, I can make a considerable profit."
After listening to Lu Yu's words, Mai Dong began to look at him with a new respect.
"Since you have made up your mind, let's go together."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lu Yu stepped forward and stopped her with his body. "Mai Dong, you don't have to be so cold to me. We can be friends now. You are not such a cold person. Aren't you very nice to Gao Wanxin?"
Mai Dong chuckled, "Lu Yu, but you are not a girl."
Lu Yu was stunned.
Before he could react or say anything, Maidong left.
"What does she mean by that?"
The servant immediately flattered him and said, "Sir, what the girl said is true. You are not a woman. She is only gentle to women."
"You're the only one who talks too much."
Lu Yu was dissatisfied with this explanation.
The servant bowed and smiled, "Sir, the head of the Lu family said he wants you to go back."
"I'm very busy and don't have time."
Lu Yu's biological father saw that his son was not doing well, and that Lu Yu was becoming more and more steady and had good business skills, so he wanted to adopt him and let him stay in the Lu family, preferably listening to his opinions and studying to get a good degree.
Lu Yu just wants to do business well and be able to match Maidong.
He had no intention of passing the imperial examination.
During this period, he has been avoiding the Lu family, especially his nominal father.
His relationship with his biological father is not as good as that with his uncle.
***
Before going to Mobei, Maidong went to find Zhao Xuan and took her to see his third brother who was in prison.
After seeing his usually high-spirited brother now in such a shabby state, Maidong burst into tears after leaving the prison.
Lu Yu came along but didn't go in. When he saw Mai Dong's moved expression, he immediately walked forward.
"Uncle, what's going on? Why is she crying so hard?"
Zhao Xuan: ...? ? ?
What does this have to do with me? Are you questioning him, kid?
"Seeing my brother not doing well, I felt bad, so I cried. Okay, comfort her. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."
Zhao Xuan talked to Lu Yu and asked him to take good care of the girl from the Chen family.
Lu Yu had never seen Mai Dong cry so hard. He was so heartbroken that he didn't care about what he had promised her before, that he would not get close to her or touch her.
He came forward and just stood up when Maidong leaned on his shoulder and cried heartily.
"This is the first time I've seen Third Brother like this. I always thought my brother and I weren't close. We hadn't seen each other for so many years, and he suddenly showed up and asked me to call him brother. He also controlled my bad habits and my friends, and asked someone to teach me the rules. If I didn't learn, he would spank me."
"I didn't like him at first. I really hated his domineering nature."
"But he was really good to me, and everyone in the Chen family was very good to me."
"He looked so haggard and asked me to take care of myself. He was in such a state, yet he was still worried about me."
"He said I was his closest sister. We had the same parents, so we were the closest."
“Wuwuwuwu….”
Maidong was pretending to be cold in front of her third brother just now, but now, she really couldn't help it.
She cried so hard that Lu Yu's clothes were soaked.
Lu Yu listened quietly.
Waiting for Maidong to vent his anger and cry.
"Let's work together to find a way. We will definitely rescue your brother. I'll go with you. Don't cry, okay?"
Maidong's sobbing gradually calmed down.
Lu Yu just put his hand on Maidong's head, but before he could move it, Maidong knocked it away.
"Who wants to join you?"
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to Mobei to find the princess and her sister-in-law. I want to see what she means."
Maidong suddenly felt some strength. She had to find a way to rescue her brother, who was her biological brother. It would be even better if the princess sister-in-law was willing to do it with her.
Lu Yu was pushed away suddenly and stumbled before he could stand firm.
This girl really hugs people tightly when she needs them, and quickly pushes them away when she doesn't.
"If you have any plans, you can take me with you. I want to contribute as well."
His words made it impossible for Maidong to refuse.
How could she reject a man who volunteered to help her save her brother.
"Even if you help me, I may not like you and marry you." Mai Dong made it clear first.
"I never thought of doing all this to get you to marry me. I also respect Lord Chen, and I just want to contribute." Lu Yu said calmly.
