"Help, come quickly, the third lady is crazy, whip the eldest lady with a whip.
Xiao Xi's shout immediately summoned everyone. Liu Furong, who was taking a nap, also woke up the maid Xiao Ju beside her. She hurriedly put on her coat, without even having time to comb her hair, and hurried to Yuqing Pavilion with it hanging loosely behind her.
After hearing the servant's report, the third lady Liu Hanyuan led her maid Xiaoqing to Yuqing Pavilion to watch the fun.
Prime Minister Lu Xiuyuan's study.
Beitang Ye sat leisurely at the table drinking tea and chatting with Lu Xiuyuan.
Lu Xiuyuan, who was sitting with him, was trembling with fear, thinking in his mind what kind of wind was blowing today that brought the current King of Qi, the emperor's biological brother, to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Could it be that he had an argument with the head of the Chen family on the street a few days ago, and Prince Qi, who had always been close friends with the eldest son of the Chen family, found out about this and came to look for trouble?
Just when Lu Xiuyuan was anxiously making various guesses, panicked voices floated into the study before the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived.
"Master, something serious has happened. The third lady is crazy and is making trouble in Yuqing Pavilion. She is beating the eldest lady with a whip."
"What's going on?" Lu Xiuyuan stood up suddenly and looked at the housekeeper who ran into the study out of breath. He was so anxious that he forgot his etiquette and yelled loudly.
"Back to the prime minister, I don't know what happened. I just heard someone coming to report. I don't know what happened to the third lady today. I took a whip to Yuqing Pavilion and whipped the eldest lady hard with the whip." The housekeeper calmed down.
He took a quick breath and replied.
"Prince Qi, I really made you laugh. I still have housework to deal with, look at this..." Lu Xiuyuan then remembered that Beitang Ye was still sitting next to him.
identity, but he did not dare to offend Bei Tangye by doing the following. He only hoped that Bei Tangye would be wise and understand the meaning of what he did not say.
"It seems that I have come to the right place to have tea with Mr. Lu today. I don't have any hobbies in my life. I just like to watch the excitement. Mr. Lu, why don't we go to Yuqing Pavilion to see what's going on?
Bei Tangye raised his narrow eyebrows, with an evil light shining in his eyes, pretending not to understand what Lu Xiuwu said. He put down the teacup in his hand and walked out of the study first.
Although he was dissatisfied with Bei Tangye for treating his family affairs as a show of excitement, Lu Xiuyuan could only sigh helplessly. Who said he was a prince, he was just a minister.
Lu Xiuyuan also walked out of the study, reluctantly leading Bei Tangye and hurried to Yuqing Pavilion, with the housekeeper following behind them.
"Ah, it hurts."
As soon as the three of them walked outside the courtyard of Yuqing Pavilion, they heard miserable cries of pain and sharp shouts coming from the courtyard.
Bei Tangye and Lu Xiuyuan walked into the yard quickly, and saw Lu Wanqing with messy black hair, curled up on the ground, with several shocking blood stains on her delicate face, and blood was gurgling. Her body was not much better, and her clothes were not much better.
It was in tatters and had numerous large and small whip marks.
Lu Wu held the long whip with both hands and still waved the whip vigorously to greet Lu Wanqing.
There were seven or eight servants standing around, but they didn't dare to take a step forward. There were more or less whip marks on their bodies and faces. They seemed to be preparing to step forward to pull Lu Wushuang away, but she whipped them.
of.
Liu Furong stood in front of the crowd, staring at Lu Wushuang with hateful eyes. She was also whipped on the arm. She was too timid to take a step forward and watched her daughter being brutally beaten by Lu Wushuang.
Under the hot whip, her body was completely beaten, and she was so heartbroken that she could only shout: "Lu Wushuang, you lunatic, please stop now."
Lu Wushuang snorted coldly, as if she didn't hear it, and moved faster. To make such a big move, she had to whip him a few more times to make enough money before Old Man Lu rushed to Yuqing Pavilion. As for those
The servants who tried to pull her away saw the speed and strength of Lu Wushuang's whip, and they all felt timid and just stood there without daring to step forward.
"You bastard, stop it quickly."
Lu Xiuyuan, who was behind the crowd, had a gloomy face and shouted angrily.
Hearing the sharp shouts, Lu Wushuang put away the whip, stepped aside, and whispered softly, "Why did it come so fast? She hasn't even had enough of the beating yet."
Everyone in the courtyard looked back and immediately moved out of the way. Liu Furong, with runny noses and tears, walked towards Lu Xiuyuan and cried sadly, "Master, look at what the two girls have beaten Qing'er into. This time
Master, you must not be partial, you must make the decision for Qing'er and punish that lawless girl."
"Take Qing'er down first to treat her injuries. I will definitely punish the two girls severely for what happened today." When Lu Xiuyuan, who was full of anger, faced Liu Furong, who was in love with her blossoms and rain, after all, they had been married for many years and had given birth to a daughter for him.
His heart softened, and his tone softened to comfort her.
After receiving Lu Xiuyuan's promise, Liu Furong cast a sinister and proud look at Lu Wushuang, and while asking for a doctor, someone helped Lu Wanqing, who was about to faint, to go into the house. She also followed her into the house.
inside.
In the courtyard, the atmosphere was solemn.
Lu Xiuyuan walked toward Lu Wushuang with extreme anger radiating from his body, and it seemed that he was truly angry.
The rest of the people, including the servants who had just been struck by Lu Wushuang's whip, all looked at Lu Wushuang with joyful eyes, wishing that the prime minister would give her a severe lesson.
I saw Lu Xiuwu walking step by step in front of Lu Wushuang, his angry eyes looking at Lu Wushuang who was standing proudly and knowing no mistakes. His anger rose to another level. He raised his hand trembling slightly, trying to face Lu Wushuang.
face waved away.
"You, you, you, you are the girl who poisoned my little Huang to death half a month ago, making it very difficult for me to find you."
When Lu Xiuyuan was about to slap Lu Wushuang, Bei Tangye stepped forward quickly and raised his finger to Lu Wushuang's nose. The raised position of his hand just stopped Lu Xiuyuan's waving hand, forcing Lu Xiuyuan to put down his palm, confused.
He looked at Beitang Ye.
"What Xiao Huang? How do Prince Qi and the two girls know each other?"
Similarly, Lu Wushuang looked at Bei Tangye inexplicably. She frowned slightly, wondering what tricks this guy was planning to play? Also, what was Xiao Huang? Was it his dog? Why didn't she listen?
I said, when did he have a dog?
"Girl, I caught you this time, let's see where you go to escape." Bei Tangye grabbed Lu Wushuang's arm and continued: "Half a month ago, in Jufeng Tower, I put Xiao Huang in the bird cage
Put it outside the private room. When you passed the door of the private room, you fed Xiao Huang with the cloud cake in your hand. Who knew that Xiao Huang died after eating it. When I walked out of the private room, I happened to see you holding the leftover cake in your hand.
The half piece of cloud cake that he had eaten escaped. Afterwards, I asked the imperial doctor to examine it and found that the cloud cake that was fed to Xiao Huang had arsenic added to it."
After listening to Bei Tangye's words, Lu Wushuang finally understood that Xiao Huang was a bird. However, how did he know about cloud cake, and it was cloud cake with arsenic added. Did Vanilla tell him?
After pondering for a moment, Lu Wushuang looked at Bei Tangye with his dark eyes, watching him wink at her. She suddenly understood that he wanted to save her from the siege.
Lu Wushuang was extremely smart. She rolled her eyes and followed Bei Tangye's words to clarify for herself: "That's right. When I passed by the private room of Jufeng Tower that day, I saw Xiao Huang chirping from hunger and just yelling, I
There was nothing else to eat around, so I had to feed Xiao Huang the cloud cake that my eldest sister had specially ordered the kitchen to make for me. Little did I know that Xiao Huang would die as soon as he ate the cloud cake. It must have been you.
Wrong, there is no way that the eldest sister would ask the kitchen to make cloud cakes with arsenic added for me to eat. Xiao Huang must have eaten something else to starve to death."
Listening to Lu Wushuang's words, although there are some contradictions, it is not important. In the eyes of everyone, if a fool can speak so clearly, he can be considered clear and coherent, and he cannot ask for too much.
So, being a fool also has the advantages of being a fool.
At the same time, everyone clearly understood Lu Wanqing's gentle face and vicious heart from this passage.
When Lu Xiuyuan heard these words, a storm was brewing in his dark eyes.
They are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into mutual conflict!
I think it was more serious than Lu Wushuang whipping Lu Wanqing, or Lu Wanqing putting arsenic on the cloud cake in an attempt to poison Lu Wushuang.
"Sir, I remember that Miss Third's favorite pastry is cloud cake. When my sister was still alive, she often asked the kitchen to make Cloud Cake. This time, fortunately, Miss Third was lucky and didn't eat the cake mixed with arsenic.
He was saved from the murderous hands of the eldest lady by eating Yun Pian Cake. This must be my sister protecting the third lady in heaven." The third lady Liu Hanyuan knew that Lu Wushuang was pretending to be stupid, and she was also a shrewd person. At this time, she stood up and deliberately mentioned Lu
Wushuang's dead mother hoped that Lu Xiuyuan would remember his relationship with Lu Wushuang's mother and punish Lu Wanqing severely. Only when Lu Wanqing was in pain would Liu Furong, a mother, feel pain.
Lu Xiuyuan frowned tightly and remained silent.
Liu Hanyuan was slightly disappointed with Lu Xiuyuan's reaction, and she decided to add fuel to the fire. She knew that Lu Wushuang was a calm and intelligent person. Last time, Lu Wanqing poured arsenic to poison her, but she just responded with a bowl of corn porridge.
Lu Wanqing's hands and feet were so weak that she couldn't get out of bed for half a month. Today, Lu Wushuang was so impulsive that he rushed to Yuqing Pavilion and whipped someone. It seemed that the wrong thing Lu Wanqing did this time must be more serious than poisoning with arsenic.
"Third Miss, is it because you have a grudge against the eldest lady because of the arsenic poisoning that you rushed into Yuqing Pavilion and whipped your eldest sister with a whip?" Liu Hanyuan's bright black eyes flashed shrewdly,
She walked in front of Lu Wushuang, held her hand, and asked everyone, as if she was trying to induce Lu Wushuang. In fact, Liu Hanyuan's question also gave Lu Wushuang a chance to explain the reason for his madness today.
"Mama Feng from Feng Yue Tower told me that to deal with a bad person, you have to beat her hard with a whip so that she will not dare to do bad things again." Lu Wushuang tilted her head, the sun shining on her stunning face.
She looks cute but charming, with a bit of innocence.
