The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

On the day of the polo match, after Wang Xu saw four people go out of the gate, he asked Ah Ye to confirm the identity of the woman who saved people based on the descriptions of the four people. He personally went to the place where Xue Ji was beaten and carefully checked the scene to make sure that there was no handle left. Next to the sack, he found this white silk handkerchief with an orchid embroidered on it and the word "qing" embroidered on the lower right corner. Wang Xu picked up the embroidered handkerchief, gently put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and a faint orchid fragrance came to his nose. For some reason, he unexpectedly put the embroidered handkerchief into his sleeve and kept it secretly.

At this time, Zhang Da saw that Xiao Duanyue and Wang Xu had no more communication, so he continued to report: "Before leaving the house, I saw the second lady of the Lu family, Lu Qingxi, coming back from outside. The one who sent her back was Princess Lening, Zhao Lexuan."

Wang Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "Second Miss Lu", but he didn't plan to say anything. Xiao Duanyue turned his gaze to Wang Xu again and said calmly, "Why did Lu Qingxi get together with Zhao Lexuan? But that's not important. It seems that things are going slowly between you and her."

Wang Xu regained his composure and spoke with a deliberately helpless tone: "We have to let Xue Qinglan get married first, otherwise, Princess Lening will never give up."

Xiao Duanyue nodded in agreement: "As for Su Jiaojiao, we can proceed to the next step as you said. I hope it will be done soon."

Wang Xu nodded and planned to go back to his house to rest and go to Jiangnan tomorrow. When he passed by Zhang Da, he reminded him to "remember to bring some cakes back" before leaving.

After Wang Xu left, Xiao Duanyue secretly sighed that he was lucky to have this cousin by his side, but he didn't know how to move forward with Lu Shiyao's progress, and he himself didn't really want to move forward...

At the same time, Xiao Ruixuan also learned the same news from the secret guards guarding outside the Shangshu Mansion. When he heard that Xue Ji was saved by Lu Shiyao, he couldn't help but admire and identify with this woman. He felt that a woman who could save people so bravely must have extraordinary character and ability, and perhaps she could really become the future mother of the country.

However, when Xiao Ruixuan heard that Lu Qingxi and Zhao Lexuan were together, he couldn't help but frown. As a member of the royal family, Zhao Lexuan's closeness to Lu Qingxi would undoubtedly be disadvantageous to him. Xiao Ruixuan knew in his heart that he had to take action and he had to contact Lu Shiyao.

So, the next morning, Xiao Ruixuan appeared in front of the Shangshu Mansion. He asked someone to inform Miss Lu to come out of the mansion for a chat. The news quickly spread throughout the Lu Mansion, causing quite a stir.

After hearing the news, Lu Shiyao felt only a little excited but more helpless. She knew that the other party didn't really want to get in touch with her, but she had no reason to refuse. Because of her Phoenix fate, it seemed that she could only go this way and still get along with the prince. So, she had someone dress her up carefully and followed the prince out of the mansion.

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Qingxi also heard the news. She was resting in the room, and when she heard the little maid come in to share the news, her eyebrows slightly raised. She only had the impression that the prince threatened her, and the feeling of having her life in her control was really uncomfortable. Moreover, since she accidentally saved Xue Ji last time, Lu Qingxi had made up her mind not to care about those plots anymore. She felt that if she continued to participate, it would only make things more and more chaotic. Besides, she really didn't want to complete any tasks at all, she just wanted to live a life of idleness.

However, what Lu Qingxi didn't know was that because of her intervention, the plot of this world had already collapsed beyond all reason. Her every move was inadvertently changing the direction of this world.

At this time, Lu Qingxi was busy writing a letter to her cousin. She needed his help to help her check the details of a person. That person was none other than Su Jiaojiao, who intervened in the relationship between Zhao Lexuan and Xue Qinglan. Lu Qingxi felt that this woman's appearance was too abrupt. If she was really a weak woman, how could she go to the border alone and save a man with strong martial arts skills. She wanted to find out the true identity and purpose of this woman so as to help Zhao Lexuan. Yesterday, whether it was Zhao Lexuan standing up for herself or she confessed her feelings to herself. She wanted to help her. It is better for lovers to be together.

After writing the letter, Lu Qingxi quickly asked Xiaohuan to send someone to deliver the letter to the Duke's Mansion. She hoped that her cousin could reply to her as soon as possible and give her some useful advice and help. After all, it seemed that the plot was that the polo match was held in the Princess' Mansion, and the wedding was held in the General's Mansion less than two months later. She had to hurry up.

After Song Yi received Lu Qingxi's letter, he immediately began to investigate Su Jiaojiao's background. He knew that Lu Qingxi attached great importance to this matter and could not be careless, so he went all out and worked day and night for four days.

During these four days, Song Yi used his personal connections and resources to conduct an in-depth investigation into Su Jiaojiao's family background, upbringing, and recent movements. After some effort, he finally figured out the true situation of Su Jiaojiao.

Su Jiaojiao was from Suzhou, and her mother, Cai, was indeed a branch relative of the Xue family. However, due to the distant relationship, Cai was not taken seriously by the Xue family. Later, Cai was brought into the Suzhou prefecture as a concubine. In the first few years after entering the prefecture, she only gave birth to a daughter, Su Jiaojiao, so her life in the prefecture was not easy.

Su Jiaojiao's life before she was five was miserable. She was often excluded and bullied by the prefect's wife and other concubines. Fortunately, when she was five years old, Cai finally gave birth to a son, which made life a little better for the mother and son.

However, the wife of the prefect was still a difficult person to deal with. She was worried that Su Qi would compete with her son for the family property when she grew up, so she began to suppress them. In the end, the wife of the prefect actually sold Su Jiaojiao to a local wealthy businessman as a concubine. The wealthy businessman was nearly seventy years old, and it was said that he had accidentally killed three concubines. If Su Jiaojiao really married him, she would have a hard time.

Fortunately, on the wedding day, the bride ran away. A month later, Su Jiaojiao appeared at the border. As for why she appeared there, her current physical condition and treatment methods, Song Yi has not yet found out more information.

Song Yi carefully studied the contents sent from Suzhou and felt that the information should be quite comprehensive. So he wrote all the contents in detail in the reply letter and sent someone to send the letter back to Lu Qingxi.

After receiving the letter, Lu Qingxi read Song Yi's investigation results carefully. She felt sympathy for Su Jiaojiao's experience, but was also puzzled by the appearance and purpose of this woman. But she felt that there must be something she didn't know, but what should she do now? She also had many inconveniences in the mansion, and thinking of the fact that she had a yard outside, an idea came to her mind.

Lu Qingxi lay quietly on the bed, watching the moonlight outside the window pouring into the room, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind. She asked Xiaohuan to deliver a letter to the Princess's Mansion, then fell asleep peacefully, ready to greet a new day.
