Chapter 114 Enough of Pretending to be a Gentleman
Lin Yinan saw Lu Zhiyao lowering his head and saying nothing, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.
After Lu Zhiyao felt uncomfortable for a while, he returned to his usual self. After all, she had done everything, and Lin Yinan wouldn't believe it even if she didn't want to admit that she did it.
"Why did the Eighth Prince come back so soon?" Lu Zhiyao asked in a low voice. Seeing that Lin Yinan was still sitting there, not wanting to answer his question, Lu Zhiyao could only continue: "I didn't expect you to be like this. Come back soon."
"So you dare to do anything and say anything while I'm not around?"
"I will take care of it." Lu Zhiyao didn't know how much Lin Yinan knew. After all, he just came back today. So Lu Zhiyao thought that he might not have heard a lot of news. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as uncomfortable as he is now. It's tepid. But, why did he call me here in the middle of the night, not to raise an army to accuse him? There was obviously a beauty around, so he asked me to come, wasn't he asking for trouble? Or was he doing it on purpose? To let himself see that beauty? In case he marries to the Eighth Emperor's Mansion in the future and finds out about the affairs between the two of them and causes a big commotion?
Lu Zhiyao frowned while thinking about it. Lin Yinan looked at her and stopped after saying a word. After the expression on his face became more and more unhappy, he didn't know what she was thinking. In this situation, it should be You should be the one who is unhappy, right?
Lin Yinan coughed lightly, bringing Lu Zhiyao back to reality from his meditation. Lu Zhiyao's mind was still thinking about Lin Yinan and that woman. He didn't reflect for a while, so he asked directly what he was thinking. come out.
"Is the eighth prince marrying me just for her?"
Lu Zhiyao's question made Lin Yinan slightly startled. After he figured out what she was talking about, the smile in Lin Yinan's eyes completely disappeared and was replaced by a cold light.
When Lu Zhiyao saw that Lin Yinan was unhappy, he quickly stopped the topic and secretly murmured in his heart, as expected, she shouldn't have opened or picked up any pot, which made the aloof eighth prince angry. She must have no good fruits to eat. .
Lu Zhiyao shut his mouth knowingly, but Lin Yinan had no intention of ending the topic just like that.
Lin Yinan stood up slowly and walked to Lu Zhiyao. Lu Zhiyao looked up at him, and his heart suddenly rose in the air.
"Eighth Prince, I promise that what happened today will not be told, don't worry!" Lin Yinan looked down at Lu Zhiyao's behavior, which made Lu Zhiyao feel guilty and promised again and again. Unexpectedly, it seemed to annoy him even more.
Lin Yinan slowly leaned forward, placed his hands on both sides of Lu Zhiyao's side, spoke with a gloomy look, and whispered: "Do you know, I've had enough of playing the role of a gentleman in front of you."
Lin Yinan was so close that Lu Zhiyao's nerves tightened involuntarily, and his heart beat violently. Lin Yinan's sharp gaze made Lu Zhiyao unable to escape. He breathed carefully, and Lu Zhiyao did not move. He moved and looked straight at Lin Yinan. After a while, Lin Yinan stood up straight and walked away, feeling a little discouraged.
Lu Zhiyao was relieved when Lin Yinan stayed away. Looking at Lin Yinan walking to the window, Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that he was a little weird today.
Lin Yinan stood in front of the window for a while, then slowly said: "I came to you today because of General Xia's affairs."
General Xia?! Lu Zhiyao suddenly stood up from his chair, strode to Lin Yinan, and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"You should take care of Lin Yixiang's affairs first, and then come to me to talk about this." Lin Yinan said in an appetizing tone. Seeing that Lu Zhiyao had something stuck in his throat but couldn't express it with his expression, he sighed softly, "Let's go, I'll see you off."
You go back."
"No need, I can go back by myself." Lu Zhiyao quickly rejected Lin Yinan's kindness. Without staying too much, Lu Zhiyao walked out of the room without saying a word. The moment the door closed, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but take pictures.
He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
On the way back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao was absent-mindedly thinking about his conversations with Lin Yinan. Unknowingly, when he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lu Zhiyao lay down on the bed exhausted.
"Yudie, do you know how to get the calligraphy written by the second lady before?"
"What did the second lady write?" Yudie looked at Lu Zhiyao puzzled, not understanding what she meant.
"As long as it's the words she wrote, it's fine. Think carefully, can you get it?" Lu Zhiyao sat up and said with a solemn expression.
"The Second Madam is not a person who likes to write or write. It is not easy to find the words she has written. But Miss, why do you want that thing?"
"Miss, I know where it is!" Wan Yue walked in from the outer room and happened to hear what the two were talking about. She walked up to Lu Zhiyao. Wan Yue thought about it seriously and said, "I remember it was a year ago.
Well, the second lady must have been in charge of the family's accounts for a while. At that time, the master was ill and asked the second wife to take care of the family expenses. But later, because the wife bought some valuable bracelets and annoyed the master, she continued
There is no chance. The second wife was very strict about money management at that time, so I think there should be something written by her in the account book."
"It was already a year ago. Even if I find the account books from that time, I can't tell which ones were written by her." Lu Zhiyao rested his left elbow on his half-crouched leg and kept talking.
He was banging his head, trying to find a good way to get Ye Lianrong's handwriting as soon as possible.
"It's hard to find the second lady's words, but it's the second lady's. You can find some now." Wan Yue was also thinking of a way with Lu Zhiyao. Her thoughtful words made Lu Zhiyao's eyes suddenly brighten.
"How do you say this?"
"Miss, you have been staying in the backyard without anyone to look after you, so it is understandable that you don't know about this. The master has always wanted to train the second young lady to be like Xia Yao, who is famous in the capital and is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Later, I specially invited a teacher to come back and teach the second young lady how to write. However, the second young lady insisted and stopped learning after less than a month. The master was very angry at that time. The handwriting that the second young lady wrote at that time should be all
In her small study room. The second lady is very precious to her things, so we servants don't dare to touch them casually."
"Learn from Xia Yao?" Lu Zhiyao raised the corner of his mouth, "Then she has no hope in this life. Wanyue, are you sure that the things she wrote at that time were not taken to the kitchen to light the fire?"
"No." Yudie intervened with certainty at this time, "I heard my mother talk about this matter. The master seemed to be angry at that time and really wanted to burn all the things belonging to the second lady, but
The second lady stopped me. The second lady said that the second lady was still young and would definitely pick it up again in the future, so she didn't burn it."
"Little? My father and second mother really dote on my sister." Lu Zhiyao said with a sneer, and then asked: "Where is the study room you two mentioned? Why don't I know?"
"It's right next to the garden. Didn't we pass by there last time, miss? You asked me why no one lived in that house. I said it was a warehouse for storing useless things, so you didn't ask any more questions." Wan Yue
Reminding Lu Zhiyao, Lu Zhiyao quickly remembered where that place was.
Without thinking, Lu Zhiyao immediately got out of bed and said to Wan Yue, "Come on, come with me to have a look."
Wan Yue followed Lu Zhiyao out of the house in confusion. Although it was already late, at least Lu Zhiyao was busy at home, so Wan Yue and Yudie were not particularly afraid.
When they arrived at the place where Wanyue said, Lu Zhiyao looked at the locked door and curled his lips, took out the dagger from his waist, and opened the lock in a few clicks.
After leading Wan Yue into the room, Lu Zhiyao walked to the dusty desk, picked up a book at random and browsed through it.
"Miss, this is it." Wan Yue stood next to Lu Zhiyao with a lantern, pointed to a pile of paper on the table, and said, "Look, there is my name written by the second lady on it!"
Lu Zhiyao nodded, took a few glances at Lu Zhiqing's calligraphy papers, and then took them all away.
After returning to the room, Lu Zhiyao kept looking at the words written by Lu Zhiqing on the papers. He ordered the maid to prepare pen and ink for her. After Lu Zhiyao looked at it for a while, he sat down at the table and wrote a few lines quickly.
, then raised it up to show it to the two maids, and asked: "Does it look like it?"
Yudie took the words written by Lu Zhiyao and compared them with what Lu Zhiqing had written before. She nodded in surprise. "Miss, you really learned the same thing!"
"It's good." Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled, and said to Wan Yue: "You have done a good job today. When I get free, I will take you out to play. It's too late today, you two go to bed quickly.
.”
Lu Zhiyao sent the two maids back to the outhouse, wrote another letter, packed his things with satisfaction, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Wanyue and Yudie were tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. How could they not know when Lu Zhiyao learned to write? And it was incredible that she could imitate other people's writing skills so well.
After Lu Zhiyao had a good sleep, she began to think about her plans for the night. Lin Yinan had already given her a notice, so she had to speed up her pace. But she had never done anything like sneaking into the palace secretly before.
Yes. If you fail, you will be in trouble.
Lu Zhiyao lay on the rocking chair and basked in the sun with a headache, but he didn't know that Ye Lianrong was almost going crazy because of her teasing.
The Seventh Prince personally came to the mansion to ask about Lu Zhiyao's affairs. How could Lu Yuanzheng dare not take it seriously? He called Ye Lianrong and scolded her severely. When Ye Lianrong knew the real purpose of Lin Yixiang's visit to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she suddenly
Just confused.
Has this matter become such a big deal? Even the prince knows about it?
Ye Lianrong did not dare to admit what she had done casually. According to Lu Yuanzheng, the prince received a letter written by someone else, so he knew about it. Could it be said that more than one person knew about the affair between Lu Zhiyao and the seventh prince?
