Chapter 8: Crazy about wanting to be in the spotlight

"Yes, my lord." Although Chen Zhao was suspicious, he did not ask any more questions.

Not long after, the two arrived at the Shangshu Mansion.

He should have waited for Ye Mu to report and confirm before coming, but for some reason, he wanted to see her quickly.

Looking at the gate of Shangshu Mansion in front of him, Jiang Yu couldn't help but think of the hands that groped his body last night, and his body suddenly felt hot.

Chen Zhao stood beside him and asked suspiciously, "Master, why are your ears red? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Jiang Yu coughed lightly and avoided answering. Instead, he looked at the guard at the door and said, "I am a friend of the Shangshu. I came back to the capital today to pay you a visit. Please help me pass on the message."

Seeing the man in front of him with an imposing manner, the guard did not dare to neglect him and said respectfully, "Our master has not returned home yet. Only the second young lady is at home now. I will go in and tell her."

After a while, a woman in a purple dress came out.

Lin Rouan had an impatient look on her face, but it disappeared the moment she saw Jiang Yu. Her eyes lit up, and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. Her voice almost trembled: "Sir, my father hasn't come back yet. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea first?"

It was the first time she had seen such a handsome man. Looking at his attire, he was definitely not an ordinary person. He might be a royal relative!

Lin Rouan felt extremely regretful. If she had known there would be such a good opportunity today, she should have dressed up.

Jiang Yu saw that the woman who came was not the one from last night. Thinking that he might run into her when he entered the mansion, he nodded and walked in with Lin Rouan.

Along the way, his eyes were looking around, and even when Lin Rouan almost broke her waist, his eyes never fell on her.

Lin Rouan was so angry that she almost bit her teeth to pieces. Over the years, wherever she went, she had admirers flocking to her, but no man had ever ignored her like this.

She suppressed her unhappiness, forced a smile, and said, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"That's right. I wonder if Second Miss knows who in your house knows medical skills? A few days ago, I was injured on my way home at night, and it was this woman who helped me. She said she was from the Shangshu Mansion, but she didn't tell me her name." Jiang Yu's eyes were indifferent. "To be honest with you, Second Miss, I came here to find her and give her a thank you gift."

Lin Rouan rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Young Master, you are joking. Apart from the little knowledge I learned from the Imperial Doctor when I was young, no one in this mansion has ever learned medicine. A few days ago, I happened to save a young master when I went out, but I was so focused on saving people and it was dark that I didn't notice the man's appearance. Could it be you?"

She covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "It is fate that there are such coincidences in this world."

Since they were returning home at night, it was probably impossible to see her face clearly. Besides, there was no one in the mansion who knew medicine. Even if there was, no one would dare to compete with her for the credit.

Lin Rouan raised the corners of her lips complacently.

Chen Zhao was standing beside Jiang Yu. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look at his master.

As expected, Jiang Yu's face became darker and darker, and he became increasingly colder.

He secretly laughed in his heart, thinking that the second young lady of the Shangshu Mansion had made a wrong bet. What the master hated most was people who lied to him.

"Oh?" Jiang Yu's eyes were dim, and there seemed to be a smile in the corners of his eyes: "You were the one who saved me a few days ago?"

Lin Rouan kept smiling without feeling guilty, and asked, "If it's not me, who else could it be?"

Jiang Yu looked Lin Rouan up and down, his eyes stopped on her face, and he shook his head in disappointment: "It's not you, she is not as ugly as you, the second young lady, nor as shameless as you, and she doesn't have the ability to lie without blinking like you."

Lin Rouan's smile froze on her face: "What do you mean?"

The smile on Jiang Yu's face also turned cold, and his frosty gaze fell on Lin Rouan, making her shiver uncontrollably and a sense of fear arose from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Yu said coldly: "Literally, the second young lady doesn't understand what people say?"

Lin Rouan opened her mouth, but found that she was so scared that she couldn't even utter a word.

Jiang Yu laughed sarcastically: "It seems that I can't find anyone to save me. Chen Zhao, let's go."

After saying that, he turned around and left with Chen Zhao without looking back.

Lin Rouan looked at Jiang Yu's back as he left, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. From childhood to adulthood, she had never been humiliated so mercilessly by anyone.

She was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn to pieces. She looked at the maid beside her and said sternly, "Go, check for me, who in this mansion knows medical skills? I will find this person no matter what! I will tear her into pieces!"

The maid shuddered and responded in a low voice.

At this time, a nanny came over and saw Lin Rouan's angry face. She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second Miss, what happened?"

The maid took a look at Lin Rouan's face and carefully told Nanny Song what had happened.

Nanny Song rolled her eyes and said, "Second Miss, today when I went out to buy things, I happened to see Third Miss getting on Madam Yun's carriage from the General's Mansion. She even lied in front of everyone that she knew medical skills. Do you think this person could be Third Miss?"

Lin Rouan put the teacup heavily on the table, her delicately made-up face full of anger: "Impossible, from childhood to adulthood, her mother never hired a private school for her. Where did she learn medical skills? I'm afraid she can't even recognize all the words. Wait, you said she got on Madam Yun's carriage, so how is Madam Yun now?

"After I saw the Third Miss get on the carriage, I hurried back to report to her. However, I worked as a midwife in the countryside a few years ago. Madam Yun's belly is so big and she is bleeding so much. She must be in danger. Even if the imperial physician comes, he will be powerless to save her. If you don't believe what I said, why don't you send someone to find out more?"

Lin Rouan chuckled, "No need. I know my sister best. I think she is crazy about being in the limelight. Aunt Song, when my father comes back, go and report this to him immediately."

"Yes," Nanny Song nodded in understanding, "Don't worry, Second Miss."

Lin Rouan smiled with satisfaction, took out a gold leaf from her sleeve, and placed it in Nanny Song's hand: "Thank you for your hard work today, Nanny."

Nanny Song smiled flatteringly, put the gold leaves in her pocket, and hurried out of the room.

A few hours later, in the study of the Shangshu Mansion.

Lin Cheng and two other officials were sitting together with gloomy faces, discussing what happened in the court today.

"Minister Lin, now that Prince Rui has returned to the capital, I'm afraid it will cause a stir in the capital. What happened back then could be re-investigated at any time. We don't have much time left. Whether we should support the crown prince or the third prince, we should make plans early!"

Lin Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and the cold and resolute figure of Lin Shuning kneeling in front of him today emerged in his mind.

He tapped his fingers lightly, his mind already made up.

Since you are going to give a gift, then you should give the best.

It's time to let this third daughter with such outstanding appearance become my helper.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, there was a knock on the study door.

"Master, something bad has happened!" Nanny Song's panicked voice came from outside the door.
