Mu Siyu was not in the mood to come up with any new tricks. Anyway, she was ready to eat, drink and have fun, so she was inhumane, so there was no need to be too high-profile.
The protagonist of the whole banquet was Lu Shaoyu. There was no need to steal his limelight with other things. Most of the people attending the banquet also wanted to get to know Lu Yi and his son, so she would honestly be a good wife.
Lu Shaoyu finally got rid of the entangled ministers and came to the pavilion to get some air.
He was still young, so he didn't drink, but he responded to many people with tea instead of wine. There wasn't much food left in his stomach, which was full of water. He always felt like his insides were shaking when he walked.
Suddenly, he saw a black shadow shaking from the front.
There are many guests today, and everyone is there. Even though the Lu Mansion does not lack secret guards, most of them stay near the study. There are always places where supervision is not good enough.
He followed.
"Someone is coming..."
"Young Master." The secret guard jumped out.
"Someone passed by just now, did you see it?"
"Don't worry, young master, everything is under our supervision. This is what the master has allowed."
When Lu Shaoyu heard what the secret guard said, he finally understood that someone wanted to come to the house to search for something. His father had long expected that the other party would come, so he was waiting for him here.
"Keep an eye on it."
"yes."
"Ah..." a scream sounded.
Lu Shaoyu hurried over to check.
The secret guard also followed.
I saw a little girl tied up with a rope, hanging in mid-air.
"Get me down quickly." The little girl shouted to Lu Shaoyu below, "I want to find the hut, but I can't find the way. I didn't mean to break in."
"Put her down." Lu Shaoyu said.
The secret guard put the little girl down.
The little girl looks familiar. She is Xing Jiashi, the fifth young lady of the Xing Mansion who met Lu Shaoyu last time.
Last time, his father was the Crown Prince and Tutor. Now that the Crown Prince has passed away, the status of the Crown Prince and Tutor has become awkward.
"Why didn't you bring the girl?" Lu Shaoyu asked.
"My girl helped me get something." As she spoke, an uncomfortable look appeared on the little girl's cheeks.
It was precisely because of this discomfort that Lu Shaoyu became suspicious of her.
Originally, I had a good impression of this little girl when we last met, but now her eyes are evasive and she looks guilty, which is really suspicious.
"What to get?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Xing Jiashi stuttered, "You... why do you ask me everything?"
"You fell into the trap and wandered around my house again. Can't I ask a few questions?" Lu Shaoyu said, "Okay, then I will take you to find your maid. Can you still leave now?"
"I can walk, I'm not injured."
Lu Shaoyu glanced at the secret guard.
The secret guard retreated.
Why Xing Jiashi appears here and whether she is really lost must be verified carefully.
"I know the way when we get here, don't follow me!"
"I'll take you to your maid."
"You don't need to bring it..."
Lu Shaoyu continued to follow Xing Jiashi.
Seeing this, Xing Jiashi stood there and stared at him: "Stop following me."
"There are many mechanisms in our house. The one just now is the simplest, and there are many more dangerous ones. Do you really not want me to take care of them?"
"I..." Xing Jiashi wrung her handkerchief, "Then can you take me to a quiet place without people?"
"You want to rest?"
"Well, I'm a little tired and want to take a rest." Xing Jiashi blushed, "Is that okay?"
"OK……"
"Miss..." Xing Jiashi's maid trotted over, "Miss, where have you been? I've looked for you everywhere but couldn't find it. By the way, what you want..."
Xing Jiashi didn't wait for the maid to finish speaking, and quickly stuffed the thing into her arms.
At this time, her cheeks were extremely red, like a ripe apple.
Lu Shaoyu was suspicious, but didn't ask anything.
"Aren't you looking for a quiet place? Come with me."
Lu Shaoyu took the master and servant to a guest room.
"This is it. If you need anything, just call the servants."
"Thank you!" Xing Jiashi said, "I didn't mean to hurt you just now. It was because I was frightened today that I acted like this."
"It's okay." It's not very fierce anyway.
The one with teeth and claws showing is more like an angry kitten that needs to be coaxed.
Lu Shaoyu left.
Xing Jiashi let out a breath: "It scared me to death."
"Miss, what's wrong?"
"I just stepped on the Lu family's trap."
"So are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just felt like being hit like this..." Xing Jiashi's cheeks turned red, "I'm going to change first."
The maid complained outside the screen: "Miss, counting the days, it's your little day in the past few days. You just ate so much ice, no wonder you suddenly suffered a hemorrhage..."
"Stop talking, do you want everyone to hear it?" Xing Jiashi wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"That was the No. 1 scholar just now, right? He's so good-looking!" The maid held her face in her hands, "Miss, I was so close to the No. 1 scholar just now. I didn't even have a chance to say a few words. All I could think about was worrying about you showing any traces.
, not only will you be embarrassed, but your servant will be embarrassed as well."
"Shut up, I asked you to stop talking, but you keep talking." Xing Jiashi walked out from behind the screen and lectured angrily, "I usually indulge you too much."
Outside the door, Lu Shaoyu: "..."
He had been thinking about the fifth young lady of the Xing family who was hesitating in her words, with evasive eyes, and a guilty look on her face. She didn't know what kind of conspiracy she had, but...
It's just that the little daughter's family is indescribable.
Considering that he had solemnly ordered the secret guards to investigate just now, even thinking about it, he couldn't find anything.
He shook his head gently: "This Xing Wu... why is it a little 'surprised' every time I see her?"
The secret guard quickly reported the situation to him. As he thought, it was just that the little girl was greedy, felt unwell, and wanted to find a place to change clothes. As a result, she accidentally broke into the agency.
"Don't worry about her, just keep staring at the man in black."
"yes."
As Lu Shaoyu's twin sister, Lu Zhiyun was flattered by the ladies in the court, and more and more people took the initiative to chat with her. Lu Zhiyun found it noisy and immediately peeed away.
"Sister Zhiyun, where are you going?" Jiang Yanrong came over with several ladies.
Jiang Yanrong, one of the granddaughters of Mr. Jiang Ge, is ranked thirteenth in the Jiang family.
Normally when Jiang Yanrong and Lu Zhiyun met elsewhere, Jiang Yanrong would always turn a blind eye, but today she was particularly enthusiastic.
She should take half of the credit for her urine escape. After all, she was the most enthusiastic person in the audience.
"I'm going to the hut."
"What a coincidence, I also want to go to the latrine. I have been embarrassed just now because I can't find it. Now that I have Sister Zhiyun as my master to lead the way, I must not have found the wrong place, right? Your Lu family is really big, and the gardens you designed are also great.
It’s different from other places. If you’re not careful, it’s really easy to get lost.”
"Okay, let's go together!"
After coming out of the hut, Jiang Yanrong had no intention of separating from her and still followed her.
"By the way, sister Zhiyun, I heard that your family has a particularly powerful martial arts training ground. Can I go and have a look?"
"Can."
It's not a forbidden area, guests can go there if they like.
Lu Zhiyun took Jiang Yanrong to the martial arts training ground. She thought that she would get rid of her when they arrived at the martial arts training ground, so that she could do whatever she wanted.
However, there was a man practicing sword practice in the martial arts training ground.
The man waved the sword in his hand, and the sword threw out sword flowers. Look at his flexible posture, like a leaping dragon and a tiger, with extraordinary skills.
"Wow, that's amazing. Seventh Brother's sword practice looks really good." Jiang Yanrong shouted excitedly. After shouting, she remembered Lu Zhiyun next to her and said, "Sister Zhiyun, you haven't seen my Seventh Brother yet, have you?
That's my seventh brother, he is the most knowledgeable, the most skilled, and the most handsome in our family."
Lu Zhiyun smiled lightly: "It's not convenient for me to see my foreign husband, so I'll excuse you first. Miss Jiang can play with Mr. Jiang here slowly, it'll be fine."
"Hey..." Jiang Yanrong watched Lu Zhiyun walk away, "Brother Qi, stop practicing, he has already left."
The seventh son of the Jiang family came over and said, "This Miss Lu is quite interesting."
"Have you forgotten what grandpa said?" Jiang Yanrong said, "The Lu family is getting more and more powerful now. If you can marry Miss Lu, then the Lu family will be tightly tied to our Jiang family.
I can't break free. You have to work harder, I don't believe you can't even coax a little girl."
Lu Zhiyun didn't slow down until she couldn't see the Jiang brothers and sisters.
"My brother is the number one scholar, but I am not the number one scholar. Why are these people trying to influence me?" Lu Zhiyun muttered.
"Zhiyun..." Qin Lian ran over, "Go over there and take a look. Someone fell into the water over there."
"Are the servants rescuing people?"
"When I arrived, someone had already jumped to save others."
Lu Zhiyun rushed to the pond.
There were already many people there joining in the fun.
"What happened? Who fell into the water?" Lu Zhiyun asked.
"One is the seventh young lady of the Yang family, and the other is the fifth young lady of the Xing family." The person next to her said, "Then the seventh young lady of the Yang family and the third young lady of the Xing family are not going to deal with each other. She just suffered a loss from the third young lady of the Xing family and came out to breathe.
When I met Miss Xing Wu, I became even more angry, so I pushed Miss Xing Wu."
"Miss Xing Wu grabbed Miss Yang Qi, and they both fell into the water."
"Why is there blood in the water? Who was injured?" someone asked.
Miss Xing Wu was carried ashore.
"Brother..." Lu Zhiyun opened her mouth in shock when she saw that it was Lu Shaoyu who rescued Xing Jiashi ashore.
Lu Shaoyu said to the person next to him: "Please doctor."
Miss Yang Qi was also rescued, and her rescuer was a young servant.
"These clothes are..." The person next to him covered his mouth.
Miss Yang Qi's clothes slipped a lot, and her shoulders were exposed. The most important thing is that when the servant came to rescue her, he directly hugged her waist and dragged her up.
Look at Lu Shaoyu hugging Xing Jiashi again. He held her up like a princess. It looked intimate, but he avoided everything that should be avoided and didn't touch her at all.
The Xing family and the Yang family both rushed over.
After learning the whole story, the two families quarreled again.
As the host, Mu Siyu naturally had to come forward to deal with the situation. So, it was a good banquet, but these annoying episodes affected everyone's mood of eating, drinking and having fun.
"Jia Shi, where are you injured? Why are there so many..." Mrs. Xing was about to cry when Xing Jiashi's maid leaned over and said something in her ear. She couldn't cry anymore and shut up.
Fortunately, she didn't cry out, otherwise it would be found out that her daughter's bleeding was not due to injuries, but because of her childhood. Then her daughter would not be able to raise her head in the capital, and she could not afford to embarrass this person.
However, she was not allowed to touch cold water when she was young, but she was pushed into the water. Wouldn't her body be severely damaged?
"You Yang family are really bullying others." Mrs. Xing cursed at Mrs. Yang, "My daughter is so young and sick, and your daughter pushed her into the water."
"There is a quarrel among the children, Mrs. Xing, don't be so nervous, right?" Mrs. Yang said, "Besides, it's not just your daughter who fell into the water, my daughter also fell into the water."
"It's her fault that your daughter fell into the water. If she hadn't bullied my daughter, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this. Let me tell you, you must give us an explanation for this matter today."
"It's normal for children to be noisy," the eldest princess said to the crowd, "Why disturb everyone's fun? Look at what you are causing, even the No. 1 Scholar has been affected."
Everyone looked at Lu Shaoyu who was soaked all over.
"Speaking of which, Miss Xing Wu was saved by the No. 1 Scholar." Someone said, "We were so intimate just now. It would be unkind to not be responsible for this girl. It seems that someone's wishful thinking has come into play."
"Don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xing said, "We are very grateful to Mr. Lu for saving my daughter, but Mr. Lu has a bright future. How can the daughters of our Xing family dare to climb high? Mr. Lu saved my daughter, so he is my daughter's benefactor.
, when I return to the Xing family, I will send you a thank you gift and thank you deeply."
"That's right, if you save someone, you have to take responsibility. Mr. Lu is really pitiful." Mrs. Yang sneered.
"It's normal for Mrs. Yang to be reluctant to accept this proposal. After all, everyone just saw that your daughter was rescued by that servant. If you have to be responsible for hugging your daughter, then your daughter's good things are probably imminent, right?"
The lady sneered.
Yang's face was cold: "Is the doctor here?"
The doctor rushed over.
The doctor took the pulse of the two girls who fell into the water and said: "Fortunately, they were rescued in time and they are not seriously injured. Just drink a cup of ginger soup and they will be fine."
"Thank you, doctor."
Mrs. Xing looked at Lu Shaoyu and said, "I'm causing trouble in your mansion today."
"Don't bother me." Lu Shaoyu said, "Send it to the guest room first, and then make arrangements after Miss Xing wakes up!"
"Thank you." Mrs. Xing did not reject Lu Mansion's kindness. "Young Master, please change out of your wet clothes quickly. Be careful of getting cold."
As for Mrs. Yang, she was also waiting for Lu Shaoyu to speak, but Lu Shaoyu said nothing and only asked the servants to settle them.
Mu Siyu had a headache.
Although she was already in confinement, the damage to her body could not be healed overnight. Taking care of this banquet took a lot of energy from her, but there were still people here causing trouble, which made people even more annoyed!
"Everyone, please leave. There are still many delicious dishes at the banquet. Don't let those delicacies live up to you," Mu Siyu said.
