Chapter 158: Extraordinary Scheming
Lu Shiyin bit her lip hard, and finally said reluctantly, "I'm sorry!"
After saying this, she turned and ran away, and the scene fell into awkwardness again.
Xiao Wanzhen remained silent with a cold face, while Qian Shi smiled apologetically, "Shiyin has a childish temper, please forgive me, County Lady."
Second wife, Mrs. Lu, also agreed.
Lu Zhiran said indifferently, "The temper of your young lady is really not commendable. I will definitely not dare to come to the Lu Mansion again in the future. I am sorry for bothering you today. Goodbye."
After saying that, she turned and left without caring about their reactions.
Xiao Baozhu snorted and followed him.
Xiao Wanzhen was so angry that her face turned blue.
Lu Zhiran's actions this time clearly showed she had no regard for her dignity at all. Where did she put the Lu family? Where did she put herself, the princess?
The corners of Zhao Shuning's lips curled up into a smile of anticipation.
Lu Zhiran boasts of her own contributions, so she is arrogant and makes enemies everywhere. She will suffer in the future.
After leaving the Lu family, Xiao Baozhu felt very relieved.
Everyone was used to maintaining superficial peace. Even if it came to breaking off diplomatic relations, no one would bring it up openly. However, Lu Zhiran spoke frankly and did not give the Lu family any face at all. Xiao Baozhu thought she was very cool.
Lu Zhiran's expression was stern. "Their schemes against me are obvious to everyone. Why should I continue to play along with them?"
Xiao Baozhu agreed greatly, "I like this straightforward approach. If something happens, just go crazy and see who dares to provoke us."
There was a faint commotion and discussion outside. Xiao Baozhu listened carefully and realized that the news that Chu Yunqing fell into the water and was rescued by the Sixth Prince had actually been leaked. Now, Chu Yunqing's entry into the Sixth Prince's mansion was a foregone conclusion.
There is no need to guess, this must be the work of Zhao Shuning.
Before Xiao Baozhu understood the twists and turns, Lu Zhiran explained it to her in detail.
Xiao Baozhu was dumbfounded. "Zhao Shuning is too bold. How dare she do this right under my sister's nose?"
The key is that it succeeded.
Lu Zhiran commented seriously, "Zhao Shuning's scheming and tactics are indeed extraordinary."
It's a pity that she lacks a sense of morality and empathy in her bones. In order to achieve her own goals, she can do anything, which makes her scheming and means become particularly terrifying.
"Then why didn't you expose her right then and there?"
Lu Zhiran shook her head. "If I expose her, wouldn't that be like exposing the Fourth Princess and the Sixth Prince's scheme against me? Not only will they not admit it, they'll probably turn the tables. Besides, I have no evidence. Why waste my breath on something that has no basis or proof?"
Xiao Baozhu was speechless, but she couldn't swallow this anger in her heart.
"They are all bad people. How dare they set their sights on you? That's really too much!"
Lu Zhiran smiled faintly, "Don't be angry. I already have a plan to deal with Zhao Shuning. I didn't expose what happened today to your face, it's just that the time has not come yet."
This incident will become a seed of doubt planted in advance, and when the time comes, this seed will break out of the ground.
After a pause, she continued, "Today's events have shown that their relationship is not unbreakable. Zhao Shuning has many ulterior motives. If the Sixth Prince uses her, he will surely suffer the consequences."
Xiao Baozhu nodded heavily, "That's right, let's just wait and see them fight each other!"
There was a sound of horse hooves outside the carriage. Xiao Baozhu lifted the curtain and looked out, and saw a familiar figure.
"Seventh Brother."
Xiao Yanci reined in his horse, glanced lightly towards the carriage, and then quickly withdrew his gaze.
"What a coincidence. Aren't you guys attending the flower viewing banquet at Lu's house? It's over so quickly?"
"It's a long story. Let's find a place to eat and talk."
The brother and sister made a quick decision and decided to meet at the old place, Shufangzhai. Lu Zhiran didn't even have a chance to speak.
As soon as she entered the box, Xiao Baozhu started chattering and told everything that happened at the banquet.
Xiao Yanci just listened to it for fun at first, but as time went on, his expression became uglier and uglier. With a force, he crushed the teacup in his hand.
What a daring Xiao Yanqing! He's so bold that he even dares to plot against Lu Zhiran! He doesn't even take a piss and look at himself. With his character, how can he be worthy?
"Your Highness Prince Jin, your hand is injured."
Xiao Yanci let go, and a cut was made on his palm by the porcelain, and bright red blood gushed out.
A plain handkerchief was handed to him. He immediately put away the cold expression on his face and took it.
The touch is soft and silky as soon as you touch it. It is such a waste to use such a handkerchief to wipe the blood.
While he was hesitating, Xiao Baozhu had already quickly pressed the handkerchief to his wound.
"What are you standing there for? You're about to bleed out!"
The plain handkerchief was immediately stained with blood. Xiao Yanci felt a pang in his heart and glared at Xiao Baozhu.
Something that is not tactful.
Xiao Baozhu was still mumbling, "You're so careless that you hurt yourself at such a grown-up."
Xiao Yanci said coldly, "I just lost my mind for a moment when I heard that bastard Xiao Yanqing was doing nothing again."
Hearing his words, Lu Zhiran couldn't help but smile.
He was the only one who would scold Xiao Yanqing like this, but his scolding was quite appropriate.
Xiao Baozhu was worried. "Given his personality, if one plan fails, there's no guarantee he'll come up with another one."
Xiao Yanci sneered, "I think he's just too idle. If that's the case, I'll find him something to do."
Lu Zhiran's mind raced as he remembered another thing.
"I happened to learn a secret about Prince Consort Lu, but I don't know whether it's true or not."
The four eyes of the two men immediately turned to look at her.
Lu Zhiran coughed lightly and told an incident that happened in her previous life.
Xiao Yanci immediately said, "I'll send someone to investigate this matter."
Xiao Baozhu rubbed her hands excitedly, "If this is true, then we're in for a good show!"
Lu Zhiran smiled faintly.
Xiao Wanzhen was too idle, so she had the time and energy to get involved in Xiao Yanqing's affairs.
If there was a fire in her backyard and she was busy taking care of herself, how could she have the energy to care about Xiao Yanqing's affairs?
She said, "If no one offends me, I won't offend anyone. If someone offends me, don't blame her for being rude."
Lu family.
Xiao Yanqing sneezed several times in succession. It was a chilly spring day and the lake water was icy. Even though he was young and strong, he still felt a little cold.
Xiao Wanzhen showed concern, "Yan Qing, are you okay? Drink this bowl of medicine quickly."
Xiao Yanqing drank the medicine in one gulp. His aura was heavy and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at Xiao Wanzhen.
"Royal sister, what exactly happened today? Didn't you say that everything was prepared?"
I suffered a lot but didn't get anything done. I feel so frustrated!
Xiao Wanzhen's expression suddenly turned grim. "My plan was indeed very thorough, but who would have thought that Lu Zhiran would see through it and even set a trap! Zhao once said that Lu Zhiran was very cunning and difficult to deal with. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that I underestimated her."
