Lu Yuanzheng returned from the morning court and went directly into the study. Sitting behind the desk, Lu Yuanzheng thought about the matter that the emperor mentioned in the morning meeting about selecting a concubine for the prince, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed. The emperor had already made the matter of selecting a concubine an obvious matter.
, which means that he will soon make a decision as to which daughter he will send to the palace.
It's not that Lu Yuanzheng hadn't thought about Lu Zhiyao's last suggestion, but looking at Lu Zhiqing's current appearance, you know that that method won't work. But if Lu Zhiyao is really sent to the palace, the consequences will be huge.
It gives him a headache...
Lu Yuanzheng was in a dilemma and could only sigh secretly. His eyes accidentally saw the white paper at the door of the room. Lu Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, walked over and bent down to pick it up.
After reading what was written on the paper, Lu Yuanzheng's mood plummeted. He crumpled the paper into a ball and held it in his hand. Lu Yuanzheng suddenly opened the door and strode towards Ye Lianrong's room.
Lu Zhiyao, who had been hiding not far from the study, smiled with satisfaction after seeing such a scene, and hurried back to his courtyard, pretending not to know anything, and waiting to watch the show.
Ye Lianrong had just discovered that her money had been stolen, and she was in a state of being extremely mad and unable to vent her anger. After searching around, Ye Lianrong still couldn't find the banknotes. As she watched, she was messed up.
The house was in a daze, and while I was thinking about who might have stolen the banknote, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Ye Lianrong suddenly turned around and saw an angry Lu Yuanzheng.
"Master..." Ye Lianrong spoke with an unnatural expression. Seeing Lu Yuanzheng approaching her aggressively, she was about to ask "What's wrong?" But before she could say anything, she was greeted by Lu Yuanzheng.
He was slapped so hard that he was speechless.
Ye Lianrong covered her beaten face in disbelief and looked at Lu Yuanzheng with wide eyes. After a while, Ye Lianrong spoke with a trembling voice and said: "You...you hit me?!"
She had been married to the prime minister for so many years, and even though she had quarreled and got cold feet, he had never made a move on her!
"You actually hit me!?" Ye Lianrong's voice amplified in hindsight, feeling very aggrieved.
"That's right, it's you I'm beating!" Lu Yuanzheng didn't seem to calm down easily. He looked at Ye Lianrong's somewhat distorted face and casually threw the shapeless letter that he had rubbed into Ye Lianrong's hand.
Face. "Look what this is!"
Ye Lianrong lowered her head and opened the paper in confusion and looked at the content on it. After she read it, her mind went blank and she didn't know what was going on.
"Master, I didn't, you have to believe me!" Ye Lianrong shook her head repeatedly to show her innocence. "I really didn't, really..."
"No? Then what's going on in your room? Do you dare to say that you didn't throw anything away? Ye Lianrong, I remember that you and I have been tolerating you for so many years. Do you really think that the things you did in private, I
Don’t you even know this? Why didn’t I realize earlier that you are so vicious-hearted? She is just a child, and you are actually able to do it!"
"Master, I was wronged!" Ye Lianrong's legs softened, she collapsed on the ground, hugging Lu Yuanzheng's leg and cried. "Master, think about it, how could I possibly recognize that flower picker? Someone must have framed me, he must have
Yes! Maybe, maybe Lu Zhiyao wrote this letter herself, deliberately trying to frame me, sir!"
After Lu Yuanzheng heard Ye Lianrong's last words, he stretched out his hand and pushed Ye Lianrong aside. "You still dare to quibble now. She has never read a book since she was a child. How could this word be written by her! It's rare to have such a good intention.
I want to give Zhiqing the opportunity to enter the palace and let Zhiqing become the crown princess, but I don’t want you to be so cruel and ignorant. Ye Lianrong, I warn you, if you dare to do such cruel things in front of me in the future, don’t blame me for not sparing you.
!”
Lu Yuanzheng beat Ye Lianrong, scolded her angrily and then turned around and left, leaving Ye Lianrong crying and falling to the ground, still holding the letter written by an unknown person in his hand.
Lu Yuanzheng's voice was very loud when he was training Ye Lianrong, so naturally all the servants in the courtyard heard it. Soon, the news that the second lady was beaten by the master because of the eldest lady spread almost throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After Lu Zhiqing heard Yuechan's message, she hurriedly ran to Ye Lianrong's room and asked what was going on. Listening to Ye Lianrong crying, she said breathlessly: "I got it back from your uncle yesterday.
My thousands of taels of silver are gone. I don’t know who stole it. Your father received such a letter this morning and beat me without asking. Qing’er, how will your mother live in the future?
ah!"
When Ye Lianrong talked about her sadness, tears flowed down again. Lu Zhiqing looked very impatient.
"A few thousand taels? Mom, what did you do with so much money? Where did you put it? Have you looked for it carefully?"
"I've found it, I've found it all, and it's gone." Ye Lianrong was lowering her head and crying. Suddenly she raised her head and stared straight at Yuechan. "It was you who went to get the silver for me yesterday. No one else knows about it.
Say! Did you, a rip-off, steal the money?"
When Yue Chan heard what Ye Lianrong said, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground. "Madam, how could Yue Chan steal your things? With so much money, I wouldn't dare even if you gave me 800 courages! More
What's more, I left after giving the thing to Madam yesterday, and I don't even know where Madam put it."
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean you won't look for it!"
Lu Zhiqing didn't care so much, and shined his backhand on Yuechan's face. The sharp nails left blood-red marks on Yuechan's face. It was very painful, but Yuechan did not dare to cry. "Miss and Madam
You treat me so well, how could I steal your things, and I have nowhere to spend the money!"
Yuechan tried hard to clear away her suspicions. After the others struggled for almost an hour, they all calmed down and started to sum up the matter.
The general meaning of that letter was that he agreed to help Ye Lianrong and completely ruin Lu Zhiyao. So he took the deposit first, but he was only interested in the married woman, so he waited for Lu Zhiyao
Let's talk about this later after you get married.
The entire letter was written in a mocking tone, and the signature at the end of the letter was an unacceptable "骞".
"Mom, could this 'Qian' be..." Lu Zhiqing swallowed his saliva and asked Ye Lianrong cautiously, "Could it be that Chu Ziqian? Are you really looking for him?"
"How could I possibly find him? Don't you even believe me?" Ye Lianrong said angrily to Lu Zhiqing: "The court has been arresting the flower-picking thief for so many years. It would be better if I had the ability to find him.
Oh! Besides, if I found him, why would he send the letter to your father?"
"Then who wrote this letter? Lu Zhiyao? She can't write such good words." Lu Zhiqing looked at the strong and free handwriting on the paper and guessed: "Could it be the help she found?
"
"This person obviously wanted to frame me. Even if it wasn't Lu Zhiyao who did it, he would definitely have something to do with her! But we have no proof now, and your father also insisted that it was me who did it, so this loss
We can only swallow it ourselves." Although Ye Lianrong was angry, she also knew that she could not do anything to Lu Zhiyao at this juncture, otherwise Lu Yuanzheng would not let her go. What's more, she still cared about Lu Zhiyao.
The last few words Yuan Zheng said.
Lu Yuanzheng said that Lu Zhiyao voluntarily gave up the opportunity to enter the palace to Lu Zhiqing. What on earth is going on here?
Lu Zhiyao stayed in his yard all day, but there was no shortage of people to tell her the news about Ye Lianrong. Seeing Wan Yue and Yu Die walking over with happy faces, Lu Zhiyao pursed his lips and smiled.
, asked: "What good thing happened, are you so happy?"
"You don't know, right? The second lady was beaten by the master today, haha." Wan Yue sat down next to Lu Zhiyao and said unabashedly: "I saw Yue Chan just now. I don't know if she was beaten by the second lady."
Madam was beaten by the second lady, and there are still fingernail marks on her face anyway. This is simply dog eating dog, haha."
"You're talking nonsense, be careful if others listen to you, you won't be able to live without it!" Yu Die warned Wan Yue sternly, causing Wan Yue to restrain herself a little. Yu Die raised her eyes and looked at Lu Zhiyao's smiling expression.
, she thought for a while and asked: "Do you know why the master wants to beat the second wife?"
"How could I possibly know." Lu Zhiyao shook his head, not intending to tell them the truth. These two were not her own people yet, and she hadn't trusted them to that point yet. "But no matter what, it's because
What, this is finally something that makes people happy."
Lu Zhiyao chose to write such a letter purely on a whim. It is true that Lu Zhiyao cannot write, but Xia Yao can. For Xia Yao, who once liked to write and write, various fonts are no problem for her.
Next. As for choosing to write the letter in Chu Ziqian’s name, there is also a reason.
The name Chu Ziqian will scare many people, especially rich people and women. He is a famous thief in Xia Lai Country. He not only steals wealth, but also enjoys sex. Lu Zhiyao has heard his father and elder brother discuss it more than once before
When this person came, I also learned that people have two extreme opinions on this person. Some people say that he is a grand thief, and some people say that he is just a damn flower picker. In short, this Chu Ziqian is both good and evil, and is a popular figure among many people.
Lu Zhiyao thought that Lu Yuanzheng, as the Prime Minister of the DPRK, would not be unaware of this name.
The contents of the letter were enough to make Lu Yuanzheng so angry that he had no time to think about anything else. And Ye Lianrong did lose a lot of things this time, so Lu Zhiyao also decided that she would not dare to look for it in a big way. Otherwise, when the time comes
When Lu Yuanzheng actually asked her what she was doing with so much money, it was hard for Ye Lianrong to explain.
