After March 3rd, the capital city seemed to be covered with spring clothes overnight, and it was filled with bright green.
The emperor spent two days in the palace and returned to the palace yesterday, but the excitement about March 3 has not subsided.
The back door of Luzhai in Beijing quietly opened, and the shopping cook pulled up the scarf she was wearing, covering half of her forehead before walking out. But as soon as she reached the entrance of the alley, three or four women jumped out.
"Ms. Fu, let's go buy groceries." they said enthusiastically.
These are all neighbors, and the cook also recognized them, and forced a smile: "Yes, madam, please..."
She wanted to say that Madam was rushing her, but before she could finish her words, she was surrounded by these women.
"That Miss Xiahou really scolded Mr. Lu at the last banquet?"
"How dare she do this?"
"That's right, you are indeed bullying others with your strength."
"Is Third Young Master angry?"
"Are your ladies angry?"
"Oh, it's so pitiful. Madam is just sad, and she has to be so angry again."
"Yes, if you ask me, Madam should go to Xiahou's house and scold them."
"How about we go visit Mrs. Comfort?"
The cook was so dizzy due to the storm of words. She wanted to say something, but she also thought of what to say and could not respond. For a moment, she could only respond and hurriedly backed away.
"I remembered that our wife also told her to send her some Buddhist scriptures to Luohan Temple, but she forgot to take them."
The cook broke away from the surrounding women and hurriedly retreated through the back door.
"Close the door quickly." She waved to the servant on the door.
The servants quickly closed the door.
The women outside the door were still talking about each other.
"Master Lu is so pitiful."
"I didn't realize Miss Xiahou was so domineering."
"Mr. Lu is really unlucky when he meets the Xiahou family."
"Yes, otherwise Mr. Lu and his fiancée would have been married long ago, and they would not have been snatched away."
….
….
Listening to the cook's reply, Mrs. Lu felt a little happy.
"Everyone is sensible and speaks for you." She said, looking at Lu Yizhi sitting aside, "This is not a bad thing."
It was not a good thing to speak for him. Lu Yizhi held the teacup and said nothing.
Originally, he kept the Xiahou family's mouth shut because he knew this fact. The world's attention was only on his feud with Huo Lian, which gave him enough time to secure his official position.
Unexpectedly, Miss Xiahou would ignore the woman's reputation and immediately break up with him in front of others.
Although it seems that everyone is talking to him for the time being, and the Xiahou family has a worse reputation, the Xiahou family is not the disgusting powerful officials like Huo Lian.
The Xiahou family has been a century-old family, inheriting the great principles of poetry and calligraphy. There are countless students in the same school, and Mr. Xiahou is even more famous as a great Confucian.
He Lu Yizhi faced Huo Lian, and no one spoke for Huo Lian, but Mr. Xiahou was different. He talked a lot, and his relatives, friends, and students must have different attitudes.
Miss Xiahou was not supposed to be such a person.
Lu Yizhi drank the tea in one gulp.
Mr. Lu looked at Lu Yizhi's face and thought about what happened in the past. His son always said it was okay with a smile, it was okay, but now he held the tea cup and said nothing.
"Isn't it troublesome, Yinzhi?" he said, also frowning, "The Xiahou family does have a great family background."
The capital is really full of powerful people from aristocratic families, and they are often related to the emperor.
They are different people and weak in strength alone.
But he’s not someone to be bullied either!
"On the other hand, don't be afraid even if there is trouble." Mr. Lu said solemnly, "There is no trouble in this world that money cannot solve!"
He slapped the table and stood up.
"We, the Lu family, are not afraid of them. We will spend all our wealth to protect your future."
Lu Yizhi put down his tea cup: "Father, we haven't reached this point yet. I was just thinking about something and got distracted." He looked at Mrs. Lu with a smile, "It's not a bad thing to talk on the street, but it's not a good thing either. If you talk too much, there will always be trouble, so
, I would like to trouble my mother to take care of the family during these days, and ask them to be careful in their words and deeds, not to respond to any questions from the outside world, let alone to scold the Xiahou family. At this moment, silence is louder than sound, and the more you say, the more mistakes you make."
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I'm at home."
Lu Yizhi resigned.
Mr. Lu did not sit down again: "I'm going to take care of the treasures at home so that I'm prepared."
Watching the father and son leave, Mrs. Lu sat in the hall, a little lost in thought.
I don't know whether it's because the house is too quiet or the house is too small, but I always feel that the noise from outside is coming in, which is annoying.
Look, you shouldn't have anything to do with that woman. It's really not a good day.
What happens next?
Although the next step would not go as planned, there was no need to worry. Lu Yizhi took a deep breath.
No matter what, because of his enmity with Huo Lian, His Majesty will definitely not give up on him and quarrel with Mr. Xiahou. At most, he will be given more resistance and less support in the officialdom, which will not affect his position in His Majesty's heart.
His reputation is not good, and the Xiahou family's reputation is not much better either.
"Sir." A boy came in hurriedly, "I have heard about it."
Lu Yizhi came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Miss Xiahou did meet other people at the Xishan Palace that day." The servant said, "Her maid revealed it."
Miss Xiahou changed so much in Xishan. Lu Yizhi didn't think that this was her true nature and that she must have been instigated by someone, so he arranged for a servant to go around and inquire about it. There were so many people in Xishan, so as long as someone appeared, there would be no trace of her.
It will leave no trace.
really.
"Who is he?" Lu Yizhi asked.
The boy said: "It was a strange servant girl who said that their lady sprained her foot on the mountain, and that person helped her."
On the mountain, Lu Yizhi asked: "Who else was there on the mountain at that time?"
"There was no one on the mountain at that time," the boy said. "At that time, the guards of Duchasi drove them away, saying..."
"Say, there's someone here." Lu Yizhi took over the boy's words.
The boy nodded hurriedly, yes, that's what he said.
Lu Yizhi smiled, with a relieved look on his face: "That's Qixing."
The boy also came to his senses: "She!"
Of course, he didn't think Qixing was dead. Although a memorial tablet had been placed at home, he was occupied by Huo Lian when he entered the Ducha Division, so he was still alive and dead.
Immediately he was shocked and angry.
"Sir, was she the one who tricked Miss Xiahou into making noise with you?"
What to do?
This time she just bewitched Miss Xiahou, then next, if she bewitched Huo Lian——
Others don't know, but they know that the maid was kicked out by the Lu family because she didn't want the young master. Now that she has Huo Lian as her backer, doesn't she want to take revenge on the young master even more?
Lu Yizhi's face was not as gloomy as before, and his smile was relaxed.
"If she were just the orphan Qixing, I would have to worry about her."
"Now that she is climbing up to Huo Lian, she is just being bullied by evil people. There is really nothing to be afraid of."
Huo Lian's status as a pet can no longer threaten him.
…
…
"You bastard!"
In the deep house of Huixian Tower, Rich Man Gao raised his crutch and hit Gao Xiaoliu.
"Are you going to kill everyone! How dare you go to the Xishan Palace just to see that woman!"
Gao Xiaoliu actually hid it from him when he left the casino. One day, he grabbed the boy and the boy knelt down and told Gao Xiaoliu's movements neatly.
"Anyway, the young master has done everything he should do at this time."
There was no news about Gao Xiaoliu after he left. Just when Gao Cai was about to use his connections to find him, Gao Xiaoliu came back swaggering in the morning light.
Even after he came back, he couldn't just let it go. The wealthy man really decided to break his son's legs with his own hands this time.
Gao Xiaoliu raised his hand and grabbed the crutch to correct him: "It's the headmaster, not that woman." He smiled again, "Actually, I didn't just go to the Xishan Palace, I also went to Duchasi."
The rich man's face changed as he held the cane.
"It's a long story, so let's not mention it for now. Dad, let me ask you first." Gao Xiaoliu's face darkened, he took the crutch over and held it, and paused in his hand, "Why did you stop Chen Shijian from inviting the leader?"
