Dali Temple. Lu Yi looked at the woman in the portrait, and then looked at the booklet in his hand.
"Qin Lian'er, 24 years old, her father was the former Fenyang County magistrate. He was imprisoned for corruption, and his wife and daughter lived in a brothel..."
Jia Chengping said from the side: "What's wrong with this woman?"
"There's nothing wrong." On the surface, the origin is clear and there is nothing suspicious about it.
"Then why did you check her?"
"I heard that she is receiving divine favor recently."
"Is it possible that Mr. Lu still wants to please a brothel girl?"
"I can't talk about trying to please you, but I would like to meet this beauty Qin."
The women who live in the Manna Palace are called beauties. Although beauty is also a status in the harem, this beauty is just a joking name for the emperor, not a status.
Jia Chengping handed the booklet in his hand to Lu Yi: "This case has been a bit difficult recently. Your Excellency, you should deal with it here first!"
Lu Yi opened the book and took a look. It recorded in detail that two military attachés stumbled upon each other due to personal grudges, causing a village to be completely killed by rogue bandits.
"Who submitted this case?"
"When I first arrived, this booklet was already on the table. Someone had obviously put it on it. One of the military attachés was a subordinate of General Su Sheng and followed him through life and death. Isn't General Su Sheng's daughter about to become your sister-in-law?
?This is someone who deliberately wants to alienate you!"
If this matter is not handled well, at least the marriage between Lu Xuan and the Su family will be ruined; at worst, someone may soon accuse Lu Yi of using power for personal gain and protecting the guilty minister.
"This kind of matter should not be under the control of Dali Temple." Lu Yi said calmly, "Leave it to Xingbu."
"Xingbu is going to have a headache." Jia Chengping took the booklet away.
"Wait a minute..." Lu Yi stopped Jia Chengping, "The other party wants me to wade through the muddy water, just throw it to Xing Bu, and it will eventually come back to me. Forget it, I'll handle it."
Wu'an Hou Mansion. Lu Zhiyun handed the clothes to the nanny next to her and stood there upright.
Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at her with a smile: "What are you doing standing there? Sit down first!"
"No, madam." Lu Zhiyun said.
"I still want to try to see if it fits! Could it be that you stand here waiting for me?" Mrs. Wu'anhou stood up and said, "Sit down, and you can leave after I try it on."
When Lu Zhiyun saw Mrs. Wu Anhou going to the inner room with her clothes, she slowly sat down.
The maid brought tea and snacks.
After a while, Mrs. Wu Anhou came out and said, "What do you think?"
Lu Zhiyun looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou and said, "Madam, have you lost weight recently?"
Mrs. Wu Anhou touched her waist: "It seems like it's really..."
It was originally custom-made, but I didn't expect it to be looser now.
"Madam, let me change it for you again."
"There's no need to go to the trouble." Mrs. Wu'an Hou said, "Well, it's not appropriate for you to stay here with me and you will definitely be uncomfortable. Why don't I ask them to prepare needlework and you can pick a clean place and slowly change it?"
"
"Okay." Lu Zhiyun agreed immediately.
Just changing the waist does not take much time.
The servant took Lu Zhiyun to a pavilion.
Lu Zhiyun re-measured Mrs. Wu Anhou's figure data and made modifications based on that data.
Apart from Lu Zhiyun, there was only one little girl in the pavilion. The little girl kept watch for a while, and soon fell asleep. Seeing that Lu Zhiyun had no time to take care of her, she chose a spot to take a nap.
Someone is coming.
Lu Zhiyun was concentrating on what she was doing and didn't notice anyone approaching.
At this time, someone reached out and pushed towards Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun noticed something and instinctively reached out to stab the other person's hand.
"Ah..." The man was stabbed and screamed.
Only then did Lu Zhiyun realize that there were two people in front of her, one dressed as a master and the other dressed as a maid. Looking at the appearance of these two people, they looked familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them before.
"You dare to stab Miss Ben?" Han Waner said angrily, "Xiaocui, deal with her."
Xiaocui rolled up her sleeves and slapped Lu Zhiyun: "How dare you hit our little..."
The slap did not fall, because a big white-haired dog pounced on her and bit her outstretched arm.
"Ahh..." Xiao Cui screamed.
The dog bit her arm so hard that blood flowed out and splattered everywhere.
Lu Zhiyun touched her cheek, and the wetness between her fingers disgusted her. Looking at the clothes in her hands, she saw that it was a crescent-colored dress, but now it was stained with dirty blood.
When clothes are ruined, it can no longer be solved by changing the waist.
She looked at the person in front of her sullenly, then looked back at the young man not far away.
Xie Chengjin leaned there lazily and said calmly: "What are you looking at? Come here yet. Do you want that dog to bite you?"
Lu Zhiyun frowned and walked towards Xie Chengjin.
The maid who had been napping just now was frightened and woke up, but as a little girl, she had never seen such a battle and was so frightened that she could not speak.
Before Lu Zhiyun left, he took her away to avoid being accidentally injured by the dog.
"Woof...woof..."
The dog barked and stared at Han Waner with a pair of fierce eyes.
Han Waner shouted: "Cousin, save me, cousin...that dog...get the dog away..."
Xie Chengjin snorted, grabbed Lu Zhiyun's arm and left.
"My lord saved you, and you didn't even say thank you?"
"The rude lady just now is the prince's cousin, right? This is the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. The little girl was hurt in your territory and frightened by a dog. Isn't it right for the prince to save me? Why?
Do I still want to thank you? In fact, I was frightened at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. As the master, the Crown Prince should feel guilty and give me some compensation."
Xie Chengjin looked back at Lu Zhiyun: "I thought you were nothing like your mother before, but now I realize I was wrong. Your shrewd appearance is exactly the same as your mother's."
"Are you scolding us or praising us?"
"Of course it's a compliment," Xie Chengjin said, "If shrewdness means scolding, then this prince will be scolded every day."
Lu Zhiyun: "..."
So shameless.
But there was no way to refute it.
"You have blood stains on your body. Find a place to clean it up and change your clothes!" Xie Chengjin said, looking at the maid next to him, "Take Miss Lu to freshen up."
"yes."
Except for the maid, there were no young women in the house. The maid didn’t know where to find a dress. The fabric and style definitely didn’t belong to the maid. It didn’t look like it was fashionable now, but it was very new, as if it had never been worn before.
After Lu Zhiyun put it on, she found that it was a little too big. It must have been worn by a woman older than her.
But this couldn't stop her, so she randomly used a few decorations and added a shawl to make her waist tighter.
"I want to see Madam, is Madam free now?" Lu Zhiyun asked after coming out.
"Madam is waiting for Miss Lu." The maid said, "Please come this way..."
Lu Zhiyun followed the maid back to Madam Wu'anhou's backyard.
Before I even entered, I heard the sound of crying.
"Auntie, you have to make the decision for Wan'er."
Lu Zhiyun was unhappy.
There's something really wrong with that woman, he attacks her when they meet.
However, while changing clothes, she finally remembered where she had seen her.
That woman was the rude rich girl who wanted to buy their village, but was driven away by her mother in the end. After all, there was only one person who walked with Xie Chengjin and called him cousin.
"Madam, Miss Lu would like to see you."
"Invite her in." Mrs. Wu Anhou's voice was still very gentle.
Lu Zhiyun followed the maid into the main room.
Mrs. Wu Anhou sat above, and next to her sat Xie Chengjin, who had been silent.
It turns out he is there.
Xie Chengjin raised his head and glanced at her. He was surprised for a moment when he saw the dress on her body, and then looked back at Mrs. Wu Anhou.
Mrs. Wu'an Hou showed a satisfied smile: "Yes, after your skillful change, it immediately became different. This dress was from when I was young, and I only wore it once or twice. If you don't dislike it, give it to me."
Here you go. That fabric should be extinct. I haven’t seen new products until now. You have always liked these, so you can take them back and study them slowly."
"Isn't this not good?" Lu Zhiyun was shaken when she heard the word 'extinct'. But thinking that it belonged to Madam Wu'anhou, she felt that she shouldn't take it back. "I came here to give clothes to Madam today.
Not only did you complete the task, but you also took away all the clothes from Madam. This is too rude."
"You look good in your clothes. I'm willing to give them to you. What's wrong with that?" Mrs. Wu Anhou said, "That's it."
"Aunt..." Han Waner looked at Mrs. Wu Anhou with aggrievedness, "Wan'er was injured. Aunt didn't make the decision for Wan'er, and even gave away the clothes that caused Wan'er to become like this. Wan'er doesn't accept it."
"Then tell me, why did you appear in the pavilion?" Mrs. Wu Anhou said calmly.
"Wan'er likes that pavilion and wants to sit there."
"Really? You like that pavilion, so what do you want to do to Miss Lu when you meet her?"
"No, Wan'er didn't do anything."
"If you didn't do anything, the dog would bite you?" Mrs. Wu'an Hou said coldly, "Han Waner, this is Wu'an Hou's Mansion, not your Han Mansion. You have offended my distinguished guest in my house. For the sake of my relatives, I
I'm not trying to embarrass you, but you still dare to call me "catch the thief"? I saw everything you did in the pavilion just now, and I can't tolerate your denial."
Xie Chengjin said calmly from the side: "Do you think I was the only one who saw it? Your aunt was not far away just now and saw what you did the whole time."
Han Waner's face looked ugly.
She didn't expect Mrs. Wu'anhou to be there. If she had known...
No, if she saw Xie Chengjin, she would definitely not do such a stupid thing.
But when she saw Lu Zhiyun, she couldn't suppress the malice in her heart and wanted to push her down.
The pavilion was in a relatively high position. If she were pushed down from above, it wouldn't be as simple as a fall, and she would definitely suffer some pain.
Lu Zhiyun originally wanted to explain, but since Mrs. Wu'anhou knew the ins and outs of the whole matter, she didn't need to say anything more.
"Madam, the clothes are stained with dirt and cannot be worn anymore. Zhiyun will make a new one and send it over."
"The clothes were damaged in our Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, so I can't blame you. But you can make a new one for me. The price is the same. Mother, please pay the money."
The nun next to me took out the box and took out five silver notes.
Lu Zhiyun was not polite and took the banknote.
"Then Zhiyun won't disturb you and will leave first."
"Okay." Mrs. Wu Anhou said, "I just have to deal with some housework."
Lu Zhiyun looked back at Han Waner and said: "Before I leave, I'll give you a piece of advice. It's better for you to restrain your temper. For the sake of my wife and the prince, I didn't argue with you today. Maybe I won't be so polite next time."
You may not know that I have four secret guards in the dark, all assigned to me by my father. If I hadn’t done anything just now, I’m afraid it would have been them who did it, and when they do it, they usually don’t just stick acupuncture, but...
…”
She made a gesture of cutting her neck.
Han Waner: "..."
She had a chill all over her body and a feeling of escaping death.
"I'll see her off." Xie Chengjin stood up.
"Okay, send it off quickly." Mrs. Wu Anhou smiled.
This girl is really rare. If she doesn't leave, she will take her home.
A daughter is better, she is good-looking, has a sweet temperament, and talks so funny, unlike a son...
Nothing but good looks.
Xie Chengjin sent Lu Zhiyun to the door.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sending me off." Lu Zhiyun said, "Then I..."
"You have more than four secret guards in the dark." Xie Chengjin said, "There should be six."
Lu Zhiyun: "..."
How could he tell?
Since she is a secret guard, of course it is because she is in a dark place, and even she usually doesn't know where she is.
"There are also many secret guards in the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. Do you think your secret guards could enter this mansion without my permission?" Xie Chengjin raised his eyebrows, "However, their skills are indeed good."
Lu Zhiyun glared at him and walked away angrily.
His skills are good, but not as good as his. Is this what he wants to say?
Xie Chengjin was confused by Lu Zhiyun's last angry expression.
No matter how smart he is, he still doesn't understand how he could fall out of love when he was fine just now?
Is there anything wrong with what he just said?
Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at Han Waner who was kneeling there and crying, and said, "You have also seen it. Every time you come, our family won't stop. Don't come here again if you have nothing to do."
"Aunt..." Han Waner looked at her in shock, "I am my uncle's niece."
"So? Do you think your uncle will fall out with me if I kick you out?" Mrs. Wu Anhou looked at her with a half-smile.
"Uncle...Uncle will be unhappy." Han Waner said stiffly.
"Han Waner, I used to indulge you because although you were noisy, it didn't affect anything, but now you dare to harm people in our house. We, the Marquis of Wu'an House, will never dare to take in a girl like you again. You
It's better to go back to your Han family, and I will write a letter to ask your parents to marry you off as soon as possible. As for my family, Chengjin, don't expect too much."
"Aunt, I didn't mean to harm anyone, I just wanted to make a joke with Miss Lu. Who knew she would react so strongly. My cousin also misunderstood me." Han Waner said anxiously.
