After making a decision in his heart, Chu Luoci immediately got up and walked out.
Following his movements, Chu Ruanruan also stood up nervously.
At this time, Yanque suddenly placed the tea cup in his hand gently on the table. The sound of the tea cup falling on the table was neither loud nor quiet, but it successfully made Chu Ruanruan stop in his tracks.
Chu Ruanruan turned around and saw Yanque, casting a faint look at him. It was unclear what the look meant, but it made him dare not take the next step.
The weird feeling in my heart came to me again.
Chu Ruanruan always felt that Yanque's attitude towards him was very strange. At first, he showed his kindness to Yanque and expressed his intention to marry into the prince's palace. Yanque agreed and treated him quite well.
But he felt that he couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. Sometimes he would use some tricks from the back house, like Yanque, and be willing to follow his words, but sometimes he felt that he couldn't figure out what the man in front of him was thinking at all.
.I don’t know if he sometimes obeys his wishes because he likes me or for some other reason.
Just like now. Yanque clearly didn't say anything, but he subconsciously didn't dare to make any more moves.
And after Yanque put down the tea cup, he said something unclearly, "This is the valet of the General's Mansion, do you know? I am still in the living room, and you two sisters have left, so that I can taste it alone here"
Tea.
With just one sentence, Chu Ruanruan was able to sit down in a polite manner.
When Chu Luoci saw Chu Ruanruan staying in the living room, he calculated that it would take about two to three sticks of incense for Qin Yiliang to return. He made a little calculation in his mind and showed a determined look in his eyes.
Enough time.
He walked out and casually asked a little maid where were the oranges?
The little maid was confused by the question and asked stammeringly, Miss, you like oranges, what kind of oranges? Are you looking for oranges?
Chu Luoci patiently asked again, "Where's the orange? I was born with the orange in the past."
Oh, he was demoted to the rank of initial maid. He should be changing new clothes for his aunt in the backyard right now.
Chu Luoci didn't ask any more unnecessary questions and immediately walked back in a hurry.
As he walked, he recalled everything about oranges in his mind.
Orange is the personal maid next to the original work and they grew up together. However, since Aunt Qin came to the General's Mansion, she used a little trick to sow discord and successfully alienated the master and servant.
This is not entirely correct. Chu Luoci combed through the memory of the original owner. In fact, the original owner later realized that he was part of Qin Yiniang's plan to sow discord, but he felt sorry for Orange, and the little maid felt that she could not protect him. Instead of
Instead of letting Orange suffer injustice by her side, it would be better to let him be the initial maid. Although life is not easy, at least it is not as dangerous as being with the original owner, who is constantly targeted by Aunt Qin and her daughter.
Chu Luoci sighed in his heart and didn't know how to evaluate the original work.
Call him stupid, he also has some plans of his own, but call him smart, and he loves banquets wholeheartedly. This cunning man cost himself his life on his wedding night for nothing.
There was only a few steps from the living room to the backyard, and Chu Luoci walked there in no time.
From a distance, he saw a little maid in coarse clothes, struggling to wash a large pile of oranges. When he looked closely, the clothes were oranges.
Time was running out, so Chu Luoci didn't talk nonsense with him. He walked to Orange in two steps and said, "Orange, I have something to ask you to do."
When Orange heard the familiar voice, she raised her head slightly in surprise, and then the joy in her eyes flashed and turned into complaint.
The eldest lady has abandoned me and does not recognize the relationship between us as master and servant. What will the Lord do now?
Chu Luoci didn't talk nonsense with him, took out half a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Orange.
I know that you were wronged in the past, and I also fell into Qin's trap and used my mother's plan to sow discord with you. But later I realized that I was wrong, and I just didn't want you to continue to suffer with me.
Now, I implore you to do something for me. After the task is completed, I will take you out of the general's mansion. As long as you have a bite of food from me, I will never treat you badly.
Orange smiled sarcastically and asked, why should I believe you?
I didn't have the ability to protect you before, so I let you be the initial maid. But now I have the ability to let you go to the palace with me to live a good life.
He handed the jade pendant forward again and said that this and this half of the jade pendant were left to me by my father. I will give it to you now. You should believe my words. You know how important this jade pendant is to me.
Yes, if you don't regret it, you can destroy this jade pendant.
Orange was a little surprised when he heard this, and he believed Chu Luoci's words in his heart.
Chu Luoci's father, General Chu, had great military exploits, had a good personal relationship with the emperor, and conquered the country for the emperor. However, when he went out to lead troops again, he was ambushed by the enemy and disappeared for a long time.
Everyone said that General Chu was dead, including the emperor himself. The only thing he left behind was the two jade pendants split in two.
One of these two pieces of jade was in Chu Luoci's hand, and the other was the token Qin Yiliang held when he brought Chu Ruanruan to the general's mansion to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan.
At this moment, Orange saw that Chu Luoci had handed over such an important thing to him. After all, he was the master he had loyally protected for more than ten years. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
In a few words, Chu Luoci told Orange about how she was framed on her wedding night.
I heard another voice saying that Qin Yiliang and Chu Ruanruan are watching closely. I have no choice now. I have to find the evidence myself. You must complete this matter for me.
I know this matter is dangerous, but please believe me, I can definitely save your life.
Chu Luoci had a firm look in his eyes.
Orange has been with the original owner for more than ten years and understands his indecisive character best. Seeing her completely different look of determination now, she couldn't help but feel shaken.
Finally, he took the jade pendant and put it in his arms. He made a decision in his heart, nodded and said, OK, I will do this for the lady.
Chu Luoci patted Orange on the shoulder, with a worried look on his face.
I believe in you. You only need to do this one thing for me, and I will take care of the rest.
After the two said goodbye, Chu Luoci returned to the living room, where he had just returned.
When Yanque saw him coming in, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked, "It's been done so quickly."
Chu Luoci looked determined and nodded naturally.
As soon as he finished speaking, his aunt came over with the adult Pu'er that Yanque had asked him to find.
Aunt Qin was afraid that Chu Luoci would cause some trouble while he was away. So she walked quickly. When she came back, she felt relieved to see Chu Luoci still in the living room, and a smile appeared on her face.
This cake is aged Pu'er and is yours personally. Please taste it carefully.
While Aunt Qin was investigating, Yanque had been looking at Chu Luoci thoughtfully for such a short period of time. What had this woman done? Why did she have such a masterful expression after she came back?
Soon his doubts were answered.
While the three of them were drinking tea, a servant suddenly ran over in a panic.
The madam is not good, the second lady’s yard is on fire. This chapter has been completed!
