"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid." Lu Xuan said, "Besides, I have an idle position, so it's useless for them to find me."
Lu Yi rubbed his forehead.
Lu Xuan handed Lu Yi a bottle of pills.
"A friend gave this to me. Taking one when you are drunk has miraculous effects. I used one last time and it was indeed useful." Lu Xuan said.
"Do you still have friends in the capital?" Lu Yi took it and took one.
"Didn't the Zhenguo Government want you to help investigate the Hua Zi case? Why has there been no movement recently?" Lu Xuan asked.
"They are still busy with housework and have no time to investigate this matter at the moment. There are a lot of troubles in those big families. I just wait for the news and let them say when they will start the investigation."
Lu Yi was looked for in turn every day by people from the official department, Zhenguo Duke's Palace, the East Palace, and Prince Zhong's Palace. People wanted to find him for all kinds of complicated things, but he never had a moment of leisure.
Mu Siyu went from being nervous at the beginning to relaxing later, looking for business opportunities everywhere in the capital, and also learned about the furniture market in the capital, and gradually integrated into the life here.
"The barbecue restaurant on East Street is better, the sesame cakes on West Street are more fragrant, and when it comes to pastries, the century-old restaurant in the inner city is more authentic. Besides..."
Mu Siyu was talking to the two girls about the delicious food in the capital when she saw a carriage parked in front of the Lu residence, and outside the carriage stood a well-dressed nanny.
"Is this Mrs. Lu?" Aunt Chen said blessedly, "This old slave is Aunt Chen from the Zhenguo Palace."
"Is something wrong?" Mu Siyu asked.
Aunt Chen said politely: "Our wife has invited you."
"I wonder what your wife wants from me?" Mu Siyu did not go to the people who were rushing to curry favor with the Duke of Zhen.
She spoke to Nanny Chen very calmly, as if the 'Zhenguo Gongfu' was no different in her eyes from the 'Baozi Mantou Shop' on the roadside.
"Of course it is to thank Mr. Lu for saving the eldest son of our family." Nanny Chen said, "Master Lu is a foreigner, and there are men in the family who come forward. Mrs. Lu is a female family member, so it is our wife's responsibility to entertain him."
"Okay." Mu Siyu got on the carriage.
Zi Su and Aster follow.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage entered the luxurious courtyard in the inner city.
When Zi Su raised the curtain, Mu Siyu happened to see their carriage entering through the corner door.
If you really respect your savior and would not enter through the corner door, it can be seen that the "gratitude" of this town's government palace is really limited.
However, Mu Siyu never cared about this.
These wealthy families had a lot of rules and troubles. She just had to come along out of politeness, but it didn't mean that she really took their words seriously.
"Miss Pearl, please give Madam a message and say that Madam Lu is here." Grandma Chen said to a young and beautiful maid.
The maid glanced at Mu Siyu and nodded: "Wait a moment."
Not long after, the maid came back again and said to Mu Siyu: "Madam, please come this way."
There are many women in the garden, including noble official wives and innocent and pure aristocratic girls.
Mu Siyu was brought to one of the women.
The woman was extremely beautiful. Although she was dressed in luxurious clothes, she looked so weak and weak that she could be blown away by the wind.
"This is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. Why don't you be polite?" Pearl reminded.
Mu Siyu saluted: "I have met Mrs. Zhenguo."
The people next to me were chattering.
Mu Siyu looked at ease, not affected at all.
The person who originally pointed at her looked at her again.
"Mrs. Lu, you don't need to be polite, please sit down." Mrs. Lan, the Duke of Zhenguo, said, "I invited a few sisters to drink tea today. I think Mrs. Lu has just come to the capital and doesn't have many friends yet, so I specially invite you to come and see her.
See you. Madams, you haven’t seen Mrs. Lu yet, have you? You haven’t seen Mrs. Lu when she first came to the capital. But you should have heard the master at home mention Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu is the parent official of Hubei City and is deeply loved by the people. This
Thanks to Mr. Lu, we were able to find the son-in-law of our Duke's Mansion, otherwise..."
The lowest-ranking person present here is also the wife of a fifth-rank official. This is the first time for a wife like Mu Siyu, the magistrate of Zhima County, to attend such an important tea party. No one has any intention of making friends with Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu originally thought that there was some conspiracy waiting for her, but after she finished her tea, the tea party was over, and she was rewarded by the Duke of Zhen's wife, and went back safely and without any danger.
A stubborn little girl like Zi Su was confused.
"What's going on?"
Mu Siyu looked at the jewelry in the box with little interest.
"They are all old-fashioned styles and I can't wear them. What can I do for them? How stingy!"
"If you can't wear it, you can still sell it!" Ziyuan said, "No matter how small the silver is, it's still silver. Madam, you can't look down on silver."
Mu Siyu said lazily: "It seems that Ziyuan has obtained the true inheritance of my love for money, and now there is a trend of being better than others."
"Thank you, Madam. I haven't done enough. I will continue to learn from Madam." Zi Yuan looked embarrassed.
Mu Siyu flicked her forehead: "The acting is too bad, exaggerated."
"Madam, the lady at Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is so strange." Zisu said, "She was talking about the eldest son in the whole room, and seemed to feel pity for him, but I clearly saw that she looked disgusted.
look."
"You can find someone to inquire about, and ask about the relationship between the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest son." Mu Siyu said, "Once you find out more about it, you will probably know her intentions."
Zi Su got off the carriage and quickly came back after inquiring about the news.
"The current wife of Duke Zhen Guo is the step-sibling." Zi Su said, "The eldest son is the son of his original wife. It is said that when Duke Zhen Guo's eldest son was lost, the step-sibling had just married not long ago."
"No wonder." Mu Siyu said, "The other party invited me over and then gave me a reward in front of so many people to express their gratitude to our Mr. Lu. This is to convey a message to everyone: Look, I am the son of a descendant.
The eldest son is back, and I, the stepmother, am extremely happy, so I will never hurt him. The disappearance of my eldest son has absolutely nothing to do with me."
"It turns out that Madam has been taken advantage of." Zi Su understood.
"It's not considered use," Mu Siyu said, "I just acted as a tool once, went through a formality, and then got a reward. This is nothing to lose to me, it doesn't really matter."
"Sister." A figure suddenly appeared in front of Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu looked at the handsome young man in front of her and said with a smile, "Chu Ling!"
Chu Ling said with a smile: "I heard that sister is here. I have wanted to come to see you for a long time, but I have been unable to get away. I finally came out today. Sister, let me take you to the best restaurant in the capital for dinner!"
