Xie Wu's small courtyard is located on the west side of Cuizhu Courtyard.
The courtyard was very clean, but there was a pale maid kneeling on the bluestone floor in the front yard of the main room. It looked like she had been kneeling for a long time.
However, at the moment, Lu Rong didn't care about why the little maid was kneeling down here. After all, there was another person beside her.
He was the one who asked her to come visit Sister Wu, but why did he come with her himself?
Lu Rong had 110,000 questions in her mind, but her brother looked calm and calm, as if everything was caused by her overthinking.
Not only Lu Rong was surprised, but Xie Wu was also stunned when she heard the maid's report.
"Girl, girl..." Seeing that Xie Wu didn't speak, the maid on the side couldn't help but call her twice.
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and finally came back to her senses.
"Go and invite Mr. Lu and the princess to come in." Xie Wu ordered the little maid with a calm expression.
The little maid felt blessed and followed the instructions and left the house.
There are so many young masters among the nobles in the capital, but Lu Zhan is the most dazzling one among them.
Not to mention his noble birth and good looks, he was also very talented. At the age of sixteen, he made a bet with the Prince of Jingnan, and when he took the exam, he easily came back with a Jie Yuan, which shocked all the nobles in the capital.
The prince of Jingnan did not believe in evil and made a bet with him. As a result, he took the exam the next year and entered the first class directly.
With such a talented and talented grandson, Emperor Zhengxuan laughed so hard that his teeth hurt, so he selected him as the third prize on the spot.
How could such a master who was adorned with gold and jade not make all the noble ladies in the capital secretly admire him?
Xie Wu in her previous life was naturally one of them.
Moreover, Xie Wu's aunt Xie Min was the crown prince of Dingguo Palace. She had more chances to meet Lu Zhan than others. Lu Zhan always wore a gentle and elegant skin, and he was kind to her, so much so.
Let yourself have delusions that you shouldn’t have…
She still remembers the contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth when she was forced by Yang Xiao to beg him, and the words - Thank you, Miss, women should be reserved, and, do you think I am blind?
Xie Wu closed her eyes and suppressed the surging undercurrent in her eyes.
The little maid opened the curtain and welcomed Lu Zhan and Lu Rong.
"Second Young Master, Princess." Xie Wu greeted the two of them.
"Sister Wu, stop being so polite." Lu Rong hurriedly shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, stepped forward and said to Xie Wu with a smile.
Xie Wu smiled and said, "Second Young Master, Princess, please take a seat." After that, she looked sideways and asked the maid next to her, "Go and make a pot of tea."
"Yes." The little maid responded and quickly left.
Lu Zhan raised his eyes and looked around the room.
The furniture in the room is all made of solid rosewood. There are various antiques on the museum on the left, and a white-glazed willow vase with a few plum blossoms in it on the high table by the window.
But the most eye-catching thing is the crystal curtain hanging on the partition of the inner room, which is crystal clear and translucent.
"Sister Wu, I heard that you ate the wrong thing last night and got a rash. Are you feeling better now?" Lu Rong asked Xie Wu gently as soon as he sat down.
Although Lu Zhan said nothing, his eyes followed Lu Rong's words and looked at Xie Wu.
I saw that she was wearing a light blue short coat embroidered with magnolia flowers in silver thread today, and a silver moonlight skirt underneath. Perhaps because she didn't go out, her outfit was very simple, with only a white flower on her head.
Hosta, but even with such a simple dress, it could not hide her charming and bright face at all. Instead, it gave her a somewhat cold and dusty appearance, vaguely a bit like Xie Wu in his memory.
Wu lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I took the medicine last night and I'm fine now."
Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
Will it be cured after just one dose of medicine?
Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows imperceptibly. Seeing Xie Wu lowering her eyes, he curled his lips and said nothing.
Xie Wu didn't notice Lu Zhan's gaze.
In fact, her attention had been focused on Lu Zhan since he came in.
Lu Rong has a gentle and gentle temperament. He is kind to everyone and never puts on airs like a princess. She came to see her. Xie Wu was not surprised at all, but what happened to Lu Zhan? Moreover, he did not have this in his previous life.
Going out?
Xie Wu didn't speak, and Lu Rong wasn't a talkative person, so the room suddenly became quiet.
"What's going on with the little maid outside?" Finally, Lu Zhan broke the silence in the room.
Xie Wu frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Even Lu Rong couldn't help but turn his head to look at his brother.
How can anyone ask someone about their personal matters as soon as they come up?
But the person who asked this didn't think it was inappropriate at all, and still looked at Xie Wu with a smile, waiting for her answer.
"It's just a small mistake... Second Young Master, do you want to plead for that little maid?" Xie Wu curved her lips and looked at Lu Zhan with clear eyes.
Lu Zhan smiled, "Of course you can do whatever you want with your maid, I just feel a little sad."
Xie Wu raised her eyebrows.
"I don't know how your Wu'an Marquis Mansion selects the maids. All of them are so ignorant of rules and etiquette!" At this point, Lu Zhan paused slightly, and then continued, "The same goes for the girls in the mansion."
"Brother." Lu Rong shouted anxiously to Lu Zhan.
She really didn't understand what happened to her brother today? He had just scolded Sister Paoyuan in Yimei Garden, and now he came to Sister Wu and said such words!
However, Xie Wu didn't even move her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips were still curled into a shallow smile.
"I'm not talking about you." Lu Zhan added another sentence as if he just realized that what he just said was inappropriate.
"So, did my second sister offend the second young master?" Xie Wu looked at Lu Zhan and said with a smile.
There were only a few girls in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, and Xie Wu knew very well what the Yang mother and daughter had planned.
But who is Lu Zhan? He has been trained as a fox for thousands of years. He looks gentle and elegant on the outside, but in fact he is the most cunning and sinister on the inside. If Yang and her daughter dare to set their sights on him, it is like a mouse looking for a cat.
Playing games - seeking death!
As expected, Lu Zhan spoke again, "Today I have deeply realized what it means to be shameless. Since the eldest girl is the eldest sister, she should teach her younger sister well when she has nothing to do. The most important thing for a girl's family is to be chaste, quiet and virtuous. If the Marquis of Wu'an can
Today is an extremely difficult day, but don’t let a mouse excrement spoil the pot of porridge.”
Xie Wu had always known that Lu Zhan was venomous and would not show respect to others. She had learned this lesson in her previous life, but it was not until just now that she discovered that Lu Zhan was indeed merciful to her in his previous life.
What he said just now was so poisonous and damaging, not to mention Xie Yuan, even she felt as if her face had been burned by fire.
"Brother." Lu Rong beside him couldn't sit still and called Lu Zhan with a bare face, his eyes full of blame and resentment.
Originally, the words he said to Sister Yuan in Yimei Garden were serious enough, but now he actually came to Sister Wu to talk nonsense again. If this spreads out, how can Sister Yuan behave?
"My second sister is young and ignorant. If she offends the second young master in any way, please don't argue with her." Xie Wu said as she stood up and saluted Lu Zhan solemnly.
Lu Zhan smiled and said, "It's not enough to be careless. It's inevitable to hold grudges..."
Xie Wu lowered her eyes and did not answer Lu Zhan's words.
She originally had nothing to say, but Lu Zhan was scolding Xie Yuan. Although she and Xie Yuan were both girls from the Marquis of Wu'an, there were still differences between the first and second bedrooms. After all, sooner or later, the second bedroom would be separated from the Marquis.
…
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed across Xie Wu's eyes.
Or perhaps, today's events can be used to lay some grounds for separating from the second house in the future.
No matter what, in this life, she will never let the second house lead the first house by the nose!
"Brother." Lu Rong simply stood up and stamped his feet towards Lu Zhan, with some resentment in his eyes.
Even if Sister Yuan does something wrong again, Wu'an Houfu is the eldest aunt's natal family after all. If my brother humiliates Sister Yuan like this, where will he put his eldest aunt? Moreover, the eldest aunt has treated both her and her brother in these years.
It's very attentive.
Lu Zhan touched the tip of his nose and finally followed his sister's wishes and shut up.
After all, what he wanted to say has been said, and the people he wanted to see have also been seen.
Looking at Xie Wu's quiet side eyes, Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and finally got in the mood to pick up the teacup on the table.
"Sister Wu, what happened today may be a misunderstanding. My brother..." Lu Rong looked at Xie Wu apologetically, intending to defend Lu Zhan, but what Lu Zhan just said was poisonous and damaging. She
I really can't find anything to say to excuse him.
Xie Wu smiled softly at Lu Rong, "I know that the second young master will not argue with my second sister. When I have free time tomorrow, my second aunt will definitely bring my second sister to visit the second young master in person.
Apologize."
"Why, it's not enough to disgust me once, you have to come to your door to disgust me a second time?" Lu Zhan frowned and said with disgust on his face. After saying that, he didn't even drink the tea, put down the tea cup and got up to prepare.
Leave.
Lu Rong looked at Xie Wu apologetically.
Xie Wu pursed her lips and said nothing. She just sent the brother and sister out of the house in person.
In the courtyard, Nianyue was still kneeling straight, her eyes were red but full of dissatisfaction.
When Lu Zhan walked past her, he glanced at her several times for some reason, and finally couldn't help but curled his lips and smiled. Xie Wu didn't see it, but Lu Rong's right eyelid beside him couldn't help but twitch a few times.
Down.
Brother, please don’t fall in love with this little maid in Sister Wu’s courtyard...
"Stop that little thing in your mind, am I, your brother, such a blind person?" Lu Zhan could see through Lu Rong's thoughts at a glance, and couldn't help but frown and glare at her.
Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the best, today would have been chaotic enough.
She didn't know if there was any news at Jinguangtang. For a while, she didn't know how to explain what happened today to her eldest aunt.
Thinking of this, Lu Rong's head swelled, and his eyes looking at Lu Zhan became more and more complaining.
