Several maids took advantage of Liu Yiyu's absence to discuss what happened today in a low voice. Ever since their young lady came back after being injured last time, they had always felt that she was weird, and it was even more so today.
Liu Yiyu was not in the mood to think so much, and hurried to Pan Wenhua's room. After seeing Pan Wenhua, Liu Yiyu's hanging heart calmed down a little.
"Mom!" Liu Yiyu walked to Pan Wenhua in a panic, took Pan Wenhua's arm and said, "I'll come and live with you tonight!"
"What's wrong?" Pan Wenhua looked at his daughter in confusion. She had long passed the age of acting coquettishly, and it was even more impossible for her to say such words for no reason. Liu Yiyu's fear did not look like she was pretending, so Pan Wenhua also
Then he became nervous.
There was uneasiness in Liu Yiyu's eyes. After glancing at Pan Wenhua, she drove the slaves out of the room, and then hesitantly told what happened just now.
Pan Wenhua was also startled when she heard the name Xia Yao. After a moment of silence, she asked in a low voice: "You are not mistaken, are you?"
"You can't be wrong, mother, what on earth do you think is going on?"
Although Liu Yiyu was certain, Pan Wenhua had not seen it with his own eyes after all, and the matter was too strange. She was more willing to believe that her daughter was suspicious.
"Maybe you haven't slept well these past few days, so your eyesight is dazzled. Don't be afraid, just stay with me tonight." Pan Wenhua patted Liu Yiyu's head and comforted her softly.
At this point, Liu Yiyu had no other choice. She nodded slowly and stayed close to Pan Wenhua. No matter where Pan Wenhua went, she would follow him, for fear that he would be alone and something strange would happen again.
The maid took the jade pendant and left the Liu Mansion. After wandering around, she came to the pawn shop. Lu Zhiyao knew everything about it. After listening to what Chu Ziqian said with a smile, she said: "Go and find out which pawn shop it is, and bring the things
Steal it back for me."
"Steal?" Chu Ziqian was surprised that this word would come out of Lu Zhiyao's mouth.
"What? You have stolen so much, and you are still missing this piece of jade pendant? Even though it is free, it still costs a lot of money." Lu Zhiyao glanced sideways at Chu Ziqian and said, "We are waiting.
It took me so long to come up with this finished product, and I don’t want to waste any more time and money on Liu Yiyu. Fortunately, the maid was opportunistic and didn’t really throw the thing away."
Chu Ziqian sighed secretly, and then asked: "How can you be so sure that Liu Yiyu will remember this jade?"
"Because it's expensive." Lu Zhiyao replied directly without thinking: "For that kind of person, the more expensive things are, the more she likes them. Even if she dies, she is unlikely to forget that piece of jade in her life, because she
Can’t afford it.”
Lu Zhiyao's words were full of sarcasm, but that's the fact. She didn't notice this situation in the past, but now she thinks about it very clearly. She bought two of the pearl and jade rings back then, one was given to Liu Yiyu, and the other was kept.
Gave it to himself. After the Xia Mansion was breached, his piece had long since been lost. As for whether Liu Yiyu still had it, Lu Zhiyao could only make a rough guess.
Liu Yiyu is a woman who pays great attention to her dressing. As long as there are important occasions where outsiders are present, she will definitely put on her best clothes and her most beautiful accessories. The ring she gave her was something she couldn't put down.
But when she came back from Qingming Kingdom and appeared in the palace several times, Lu Zhiyao did not see the ring on her body.
Lu Zhiyao remembered that he had laughed at Liu Yiyu because of dressing up, because it would never happen to him if it took him an hour to get dressed. At that time, Liu Yiyu blushed and said coquettishly to let her go.
, Thinking about it now, maybe what Liu Yiyu wanted to say back then was to get out of here quickly.
Lu Zhiyao thought of this and laughed at himself. This move was just to test her. It didn't matter if she made a mistake, because she prepared two pieces that were exactly the same as before. One had Liu Yiyu's name engraved on it, and the other had Liu Yiyu's name engraved on it.
It belongs to Xia Yao.
The reason why Lu Zhiyao succeeded so easily was entirely because of Chu Ziqian and the Gu family. The Gu family has several jewelry and jade shops. If Lu Zhiyao remembers correctly, she bought the two jade pendants from the Gu family's shop.
Come. Now these stores are in the hands of Chu Ziqian and himself.
, it became more convenient for Lu Zhiyao to do things. According to his memory, he drew the appearance of the ring and gave it to Chu Ziqian, and Chu Ziqian did not disappoint her at all. Although it took a little longer, in the end
What she got was exactly the same as before.
Chu Ziqian left Lu Zhiyao dejectedly. When he asked which pawn shop the jade pendant had gone to, his mouth almost opened. He had never thought that doing a lot of business at home was a good thing.
But when he effortlessly got the ring pawned by the maid of the Liu Mansion, Chu Ziqian couldn't help but secretly lament his father's shrewdness.
If the first time Liu Yiyu saw something that should no longer exist, it could be explained by dazzling, then the second time was enough to scare her out of her wits.
With a scream, Liu Yiyu staggered out of the room, startling several maids who were in the yard.
She had been staying at Pan Wenhua's place for a few days, and it had been very peaceful these days, with nothing happening. Who would have thought that just after she returned to her room for a day, something like this happened again!
Liu Yiyu stood in the yard with a pale face, trembling all over. Several maids gathered around to ask. It took Liu Yiyu a long time before she found her voice.
"Go...go get me the things on my table."
The maid listened to her words and entered the room. Looking at the ring that appeared here again, the maid who had changed it into silver last time was also frightened and turned pale.
Walking up to Liu Yiyu and handing the thing into her hand, Liu Yiyu stood in the middle of several people, looking at the word Xia Yao engraved on the transparent jade surface under the sunlight, her face became increasingly ugly.
Who on earth played this kind of trick on her twice in a row? Appeared in her room without her noticing?
With Xia Yao's appearance in her mind, Liu Yiyu was so scared that she couldn't help herself. She ran to Pan Wenhua and showed her the things. Pan Wenhua didn't know how to explain it for a while.
The two of them sat staring at the jade pendant on the table for a long time, still unwilling to believe that it was Xia Yao's soul that was causing trouble.
"Mom, is Xia Yao really dead?"
Liu Yiyu slowly raised her head and looked at Pan Wenhua. She had always heard others talking about the Xia family and the fact that Xia Yao was dead. But she had not seen it with her own eyes, so it was possible that Xia Yao was still alive.
?
The last time I was knocked unconscious and sent to Prince Luo's Mansion, the most likely person to do that was Xia Yao! There was also the matter of Jiang Han being hunted. If you think about it carefully, how could you hate the Jiang family to that extent?
Yes, only people from the Xia family, right?
Lin Yixiang kept saying that Xia Yao was really dead and that he saw it with his own eyes. But now, his words are starting to look more and more like a lie.
Liu Yiyu suddenly clenched the jade pendant in her hand, stood up and looked at Pan Wenhua.
"I want to go to Prince Luo's Mansion and ask Prince Luo for details!"
"Daughter, are you...not suitable to go there now?"
"Nevermind." Liu Yiyu was heartbroken. Compared with Nangong Nuoer, she was more afraid of Xia Yao, who didn't know whether she was dead or alive!
Liu Yiyu thought well, changed her clothes and hurried out the door. She sat in a sedan and went directly to the gate of Prince Luo's Mansion. Before she could get off the sedan, she heard the words "Eighth Princess" coming from outside.
"Miss, we're here." The servant lifted up the sedan curtain and said to Liu Yiyu. They were already here, and Liu Yiyu had no reason to leave without saying anything.
After getting off the sedan, Liu Yiyu saw Lu Zhiyao who was about to walk into the palace. The two of them looked at each other in the air, and they looked at each other with strange eyes.
"Why are Sister Liu here?" Lu Zhiyao saw Liu Yiyu and turned around and walked towards her. "You didn't show up at the prince's birthday banquet that day. Could it be that you came here specifically to give the prince a replacement gift today?"
Liu Yiyu hurriedly saluted Lu Zhiyao and said with a smile: "The daughter of the common people was entrusted by my father to bring a message to the prince."
"It just so happens that I came here for something. But unfortunately, the prince seemed to have been taken away by the eighth prince just now. It should be okay if you bring the message to the princess, right?"
Lu Zhiyao smiled sweetly, and what he said sent shivers down Liu Yiyu's spine.
Lin Yixiang is not at the house? Only Nangong Nuoer is here?
Liu Yiyu subconsciously wanted to run away, regretting her reckless behavior. Lu Zhiyao took the initiative to take her hand and walked into the palace. Liu Yiyu did not have the courage to throw away her hand and run away. Every step was extremely difficult.
, when Liu Yiyu saw Nangong Nuoer, she didn’t know what kind of expression she should use to face her.
Nangong Nuo'er was already in a bad mood when she saw Lu Zhiyao, but she didn't expect that Liu Yiyu would join in the fun!
His sharp eyes swept across the faces of the two people, and Nangong Nuoer even wondered if the two people had agreed to come together to make her angry!
"What are you doing here?" Nangong Nuo'er asked Liu Yiyu in a cold voice, which made Liu Yiyu's neck shrink.
Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but smile when he saw Nangong Nuo'er's aggressive look. She always acted like this when facing people she didn't like. She had this expression most of the time when she faced Xia Yao in the past. Lu Zhiyao could see it now.
I actually think that Nangong Nuoer is much better than Liu Yiyu.
"Look at you like this, you scare people so much that they don't dare to say anything even if they have something to say."
"No one asked her to tell her." Nangong Nuoer glared at Lu Zhiyao. If the emperor hadn't ordered Prince Luo's Palace and the Eighth Emperor's Palace to jointly investigate the matter, she wouldn't have had to meet Lu Zhiyao.
!
"Sister Liu just told me that she has something to say to the prince." Lu Zhiyao started to sow discord in a serious manner, causing the faces of the two people to gradually become distorted. "Since the prince is not in the house, you guys
The two of us can talk first. As for our matters, I can wait. Anyway, I have a lot of time, so I’m not in a hurry."
Lu Zhiyao said to Nangong Nuo'er "understanding", but who knew that the two people would not accept her kindness.
Liu Yiyu was stared at by Nangong Nuo'er's sharp eyes, and she had long since lost the courage to talk to her. She could still clearly remember the scene and the pain of the last time she was beaten by Nangong Nuo'er. If she was alone with Nangong Nuo'er at this time,
, if no outsiders were around, she would definitely do something to herself!
Liu Yiyu hurriedly stepped back, not caring about the strange look Lu Zhiyao looked at her, and said: "If the prince is not here, I will leave first. If the princess and the eighth princess have something to do, I won't disturb you two."
After Liu Yiyu said that, she turned around and ran away. Lu Zhiyao's hurried back made Lu Zhiyao feel funny.
"She seems to be afraid of you?" Lu Zhiyao looked back at Nangong Nuoer and asked knowingly.
Nangong Nuoer wanted everyone who knew about Liu Yiyu and Lin Yixiang to die. So it was naturally impossible for Lu Zhiyao to notice anything.
"You're overthinking. I think she left because she was afraid of you." Nangong Nuo'er turned around and walked forward, saying indifferently to the person behind her: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly. After you finish speaking, leave quickly."
Lu Zhiyao had long been accustomed to Nangong Nuo'er's attitude. He pursed his lips and followed him with a smile. She originally came here just to find trouble, but now she naturally had nothing to say and tried to stay to see the fun.
Liu Yiyu ran out of the palace, but did not leave home. She took her servants to a place a little far away from the gate of the palace, and hid in the alleyway waiting for Lin Yixiang to come back. She was rightly afraid of Nangong Nuoer, but as for Xia Yao, she
The same fear! If the matter is not explained clearly today, Liu Yiyu will not even dare to go home or enter her room again!
