Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow
Chapter 169: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 49
Under Jiang Xinghui's deliberate arrangement, groups of young ladies from the imperial city came to Linglongxuan. When they were mocking and provoking her as usual, they were bumped into by Lu Zhao who happened to pass by.
"Why? The tutors of these young ladies are really good!"
There were some clapping sounds behind them, and several ladies were startled and turned around suddenly.
When they saw Lu Zhao looking at them with a cold expression, they instantly became embarrassed and anxious, and stammered to explain.
"Prince...Prince, we..."
"Shut up! I saw with my own eyes how you bullied my future wife. What else is there to explain?" Lu Zhao scolded coldly.
He slowly approached the sad Jiang Xinghui, handed her a handkerchief, motioned for her to wipe it, and then sat down with a swagger.
"Apologize!"
The three ladies were all frightened and looked at Jiang Xinghui hesitantly and in panic.
Seeing this, Lu Zhao gave an order, and the next second a guard slapped the leader of the three people.
The guard showed no mercy and slapped the woman so hard that her cheek became swollen and blood even seeped from the corner of her mouth.
The other two ladies immediately bowed and apologized, one faster than the other. The woman who was beaten looked at Lu Zhao's cold face and didn't even bother to cry out in pain. She quickly followed the other two and apologized to Jiang Xinghui.
Jiang Xinghui pretended to be frightened and left the three of them alone for a while before looking at Lu Zhao helplessly and pleading for them.
"Prince, this...I don't think the three sisters did it on purpose, so let them go!"
Lu Zhao looked at them with a gentle gaze and sighed, "Okay, for your sake today, I will let them go. Don't be soft-hearted again. If there is a next time, I will go to the homes of the young ladies in person to greet your father!"
These threatening words made the three ladies change their expressions. They apologized again and left immediately crying.
After Lu Zhao stood up for beauty, the ladies in the imperial city no longer dared to go to the shop to mock Jiang Xinghui, for fear of being caught by Master Lu and being found at home.
Jiang Xinghui also took this opportunity to look for Lu Zhao more frequently, but after all, Lu Zhao was highly valued by the emperor and had many assignments in the court, so he arranged for the girls in the marquis's mansion or the ladies from his relatives to accompany Jiang Xinghui.
For a moment, Jiang Xinghui felt that all the depression she had felt a while ago had disappeared. Not only did the prince like her, he also blocked off a group of ladies who pretended to be pretentious and mocked her, and even asked the girls from the marquis's mansion to accompany her.
Being praised by others, Jiang Xinghui naturally prefers to be with them and enjoy their praise.
The gate of Jingxin Garden was not opened until the end of the year.
After Yunxi was put in solitary confinement, he had nothing to do every day. Apart from copying scriptures and pretending to pray for Old Madam Jiang, he just counted the days to live.
After finally making it to the end of the three-month period, she dressed up early, tidied herself up from head to toe, and waited for the door to open.
As soon as the door opened, she walked out through it. There was no one outside.
She frowned, thinking Hui'er would be waiting for her outside, but no one came.
It has been three months since we last met. Maybe she is busy with something, Yun Xi thought, and led the maid to Jiang Xinghui's yard.
When she arrived at the yard, Jiang Xinghui was still not there. When Yun Xi heard the maid say that she had gone out, she remembered Linglongxuan where she had been imprisoned before. Fearing that something had happened to the shop, she called the maid again and prepared to go out.
As soon as she got into the carriage, she caught a glimpse of a red figure out of the corner of her eye. She thought it was Liu Jingyan, so she didn't pay any attention and got into the carriage safely.
After a while, the carriage arrived.
Yunxi was supported by a maid and came down. As soon as she entered the door, her brows were tightly furrowed.
It was clearly daytime, but there was no one serving customers at the counter in the shop.
Yunxi was instantly angry, "Is anyone there?"
The servant from the inner room who heard the noise came out hurriedly and spoke with a smile.
"Here you go, Madam, if you want anything, you can take a look!"
Yunxi frowned. She didn't know this person at all.
"Are you the waiter in this shop? Where is the boss?"
The servant was a little embarrassed. "Well, I work in this shop. Madam, if you need anything, just tell me directly. The boss... the boss is not here now."
"Oh? What about the other people in this shop? Where are Liu San and Liu Si?"
The servant was surprised that this man actually knew Liu San and Liu Si.
"Madam? Liu San and Liu Si are no longer here. I am their successor."
"I am the mother of the owner of your shop, and I was the one who was in charge of this shop before." Yun Xi said.
"This... this..." The servant was a little confused, "Madam, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this cannot be confirmed! Why don't we wait until our boss comes back?"
Yunxi: "When will she come back? Where did she go?"
The servant said: "I don't know. Madam, if you are willing, you can wait here. Otherwise, you can leave first."
Yunxi had no choice but to pull a stool in the room and wait for Jiang Xinghui to come back. While waiting, she observed her surroundings.
After waiting for two hours, no one came to the shop. The servant was bored and was wiping the room with a rag.
"When will your boss come back? And why are Liu San and Liu Si, who we mentioned earlier, not here? Why are you the only one in this shop?" Yun Xi couldn't help but ask.
The servant was bored, so he didn't mind chatting for a while. There was nothing to hide anyway.
"I don't know. The boss has to go out every day. If he is away for a long time, he will be back in four hours, and if he is away for a short time, it will probably be two hours. Brothers Liu San and Liu Si have no choice. After all, the business of this shop is not good, and they have to support their families. How can they waste their time and energy on this? As for me, of course, I can feed myself and my family will not worry. I don't have a big family to support, so I reluctantly find this job to make a living." The servant sighed lazily.
Yun Xi became even more anxious after hearing this. If she didn't know that the servant didn't trust her, she would have wanted to snatch the account book and take a closer look.
She looked around anxiously at the door, but she didn't hear any footsteps. At lunch time, she left a maid waiting in the shop and went to a nearby restaurant to eat.
When she came back, the maid was still standing there alone, and there was no one else except the boy.
It was not until the sun set that she heard laughter coming from the door.
