Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow
Chapter 192: The Cannon Fodder Sister Who Was Married Instead in Ancient Chinese Literature 72
Unless they have something important to say to each other that cannot be known to outsiders, they will choose the "important place" in their hearts.
The servant beside the Marquis had also heard the Marquis' strange laughter coming from the study.
So, on the day of the wedding at the Marquis' Mansion, she resorted to some tricks, using the intelligence she had previously collected from the various mansions to make them act out a scene of persuading them to drink.
At this time, several masters were drunk, so she arranged for Master Wang to disguise "Lu Zhao" to send two guards away. The guests over there would delay the guards, and they took this opportunity to search the study.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find any useful information until they saw this painting.
The painting shows a woman with excellent appearance, just like a normal beauty painting.
But Jiang Yueshu took a closer look at the scroll and found that the paper was extremely valuable and even the scroll was made of small-leaf red sandalwood.
She glanced at the other scrolls whose materials were all ordinary, and felt that this painting held a secret.
In addition, the makeup and clothing of the woman in the painting were a little strange, at least she had never seen them in the imperial city.
Jiang Yueshu tentatively placed the copied scroll in Fang Ruyan's room, ready to see her reaction, but she did not have any different reaction.
After recent treatment, Fang Ruyan's mental state has improved a bit, her emotions are not as intense, and except for occasionally whispering a few words, she is in a trance the rest of the time.
While Jiang Yueshu continued to treat Fang Ruyan, she also began to secretly inquire about the woman's makeup and clothing.
......
At the Marquis' Mansion, Lu Zhao has been feeling very tired recently.
Because he had three wives, every time he went to the backyard, before he even entered Jiang Xinghui's yard, his two new wives would happen to run into him.
Lu Zhao was in a bad mood and didn't like dealing with the two of them, so he found an excuse and left.
He talked to Aunt Hua, and there were not so many chance encounters. However, he and Jiang Xinghui had just been together for two days when the other two wives came to visit Jiang Xinghui in his yard.
The two stayed from morning till night and refused to leave.
After Jiang Xinghui suffered a loss, he simply closed the gate to prevent the two from coming in.
But the two men didn't seem to be affected. They would hang out in front of Jiang Xinghui's courtyard gate every day. If they ran into Lu Zhao, they would immediately intercept him.
Because of this, Lu Zhao had to stay away from the backyard for a while, using the excuse of being busy with official duties.
At first, Jiang Xinghui took the initiative to come to the front yard to look for Lu Zhao, but when the two people guarding outside the gate noticed Jiang Xinghui's movements, they immediately followed him.
The shameless and persistent behavior of the two men completely angered Jiang Xinghui, and she went to find Lu Zhao late at night.
"Husband, look at the two of them! Every time I come to see you, you're like a dog smelling blood! Husband, it's been so long since I last saw you!"
She complained with a frown on her face.
Lu Zhao was sleepy and rubbed his forehead with a headache, looking helpless.
"Hui'er, this... I can't do anything about it! After all, the Marquis' Mansion still has to rely on the power behind them! You have to be good..."
"Husband! Then why don't you forbid them to leave the house? They want to complain, but they can't leave the house, so how can they complain? Or find someone to watch them, so that they can't say anything nonsense! Otherwise, what should we do in the future? We can't just stay away from them forever! At least they are alive!"
Jiang Xinghui said angrily that she was really fed up with these two women. She had been thinking for a long time before coming to find Lu Zhao.
Wait until Lu Zhao agrees, and then see how she deals with them!
Lu Zhao seemed to be thinking about something and began to think about the feasibility of Jiang Xinghui's method.
"Then ban them from leaving the house!"
Lu Zhao's light words determined the fate of the two people.
The next day, Jiang Xinghui changed her previous patience and pretended to go look for Lu Zhao. Xu and Li looked at each other and immediately followed her.
But suddenly two men in black flashed in front of them and stopped them.
"Get out of my way! How dare you block my way?" Xu roared.
"I'm sorry, I only take orders from the Crown Prince and his wife!" The man in black had a blank expression and a cold tone.
"The Crown Prince's wife?! Where did this bastard wife come from? Open your dog eyes and see clearly. We are both the two new Crown Prince's wives!"
The man in black remained unmoved and continued to use his body to block the two groups of people.
"Someone, come and deal with these two stubborn slaves!" Seeing that Xu's words were useless, Li calmly called for help.
As a result, no one around took any action and did not dare to step forward.
"Madams, this man is indeed the prince's man. The servants cannot interfere."
The two were so angry that they had to call Aunt Hua, who was in charge of all the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Aunt, this... Although my sister came to the mansion a few days ago, we were just walking around the mansion casually, and she sent two servants to stop us. These servants didn't listen to us masters! This... is it..."
In front of Aunt Hua, Xu's tone was gentle and her words were tactful.
Aunt Hua smiled at the two of them and said, "You two may not know that this guard only obeys the orders of the prince. I think the two ladies have been a little more active these days. The prince must want the two ladies to have a good rest in his own courtyard."
Without waiting for the two to speak, Aunt Hua continued to speak.
"You two ladies are friendly, so I will tell you the truth. The prince has always had his own ideas since he was young, and he doesn't like others to disobey him. You are still young, you should know that you can't act on impulse in the harem, and your husband's love is the most important. As an experienced person, I will give you a few advice, so don't misunderstand the prince's intentions!"
Aunt Hua put the hands of the three people together, patted the back of two of them gently and affectionately, and her words were meaningful.
The two looked at each other and understood what Aunt Hua meant, which was to ask them to listen to the prince and stay in their own courtyards.
Although the two were half-believing and half-doubting, they were now blocked by the guards, and Aunt Hua was trying to smooth things over in front of them. They couldn't see the prince, so it was even more difficult for them to judge the truth in her words.
"Don't worry, Auntie. If the prince thinks this way, my sister and I will naturally follow his will!"
Li quickly grabbed Xu Shi who was about to refute, and responded to Aunt Hua obediently.
Both sides were smiling and being polite.
After the two men left, they spontaneously went to Xu's yard.
After a while, a maid dressed simply opened the door. She looked around, saw that the man in black was not there, and immediately ran out.
......
The little maid looked around the prince's courtyard and waited until Jiang Xinghui left with his maid before she hurriedly reported her identity.
Lu Zhao, who was writing something, paused when he heard the guard's words. He thought for a while and then spoke.
"Let her go and say I'm busy!"
The little maid walked back and forth anxiously outside the yard, stopping from time to time to look at the yard.
After a while, the guard came over.
"The prince is busy with official business and cannot meet anyone."
"Hey! Just now..." The little maid was a little unconvinced. She clearly saw the prince's wife coming over just now. If it was inconvenient for her to see everyone, she should be treated equally!
Before she could speak, the guard's cold voice rang out.
"Sorry, please leave this place immediately and don't disturb the prince's official business!"
With a glare, the little maid left reluctantly.
When she returned to Xu's courtyard, she recounted the entire incident to Xu word for word, even recording the moment when Jiang Xinghui left the prince's courtyard.
"Great! This Jiang Xinghui! She is so scheming. The 'beautiful beauty' that was known to the whole imperial city is just this kind of person!! She is indeed a seducer!!"
Xu was so angry that her body was shaking and she slammed the teacup heavily on the table.
Li quickly comforted her and spoke thoughtfully, "Okay, Sister Xu, don't be angry! The angrier you are, the more Jiang Xinghui will agree! Just tell me, what exactly does this prince mean?"
If the maid they arranged had not gone there early, they would not have known that Jiang Xinghui had just come out from there.
If the prince was busy with official duties, why couldn't they go over to see Jiang Xinghui?
"Yes, how could the prince treat us like this?!" Xu calmed down and responded.
Jiang Xinghui went to the prince first, and when she came out, the prince didn't want to see them anymore?
Could it be... ?
"Could it be that that woman said bad things about us to the prince, so the prince ignored us?" Xu said excitedly.
Li did not reply, but frowned slightly. But how could she just listen to one side of the story?
Shouldn't the normal procedure be that Jiang Xinghui and the prince complained, and the prince called the three of them together to find out the truth?
Or maybe the prince was really busy with official duties, and Jiang Xinghui broke in by relying on his status, and they sent a maid over, so they did not dare to disobey the prince's orders.
"How is it? Tell me, sister?" Xu anxiously shook Li, who was in a trance.
Li came back to his senses, shook his head, and expressed his thoughts.
"Well...what my sister said makes sense, but judging from Jiang Xinghui's personality, it's hard to say. She must be trying to trick us and will naturally complain to the prince!" Xu said uncertainly.
"No matter which possibility it is, we can't see the prince. Whether it is a misunderstanding or because he is busy with official duties, we don't know." Li said calmly.
"Yes, what should we do?" Xu frowned and thought.
"Unless you see the prince in person and find out his attitude!" Li said affirmatively.
Xu's eyes lit up and she looked at Li happily, "Sister, do you have a solution?"
"Come here."
The two of them talked together for a long time before separating.
......
"Madam, I have checked, there is no one outside, and no one has come out of Madam Jiang's yard."
"Okay, okay! Let's go!"
Xu responded quickly, and she and her maid walked around to the gate, one in front and one behind.
She saw the prince's carriage from afar, and quickly took off the simple cloak in her hand, revealing the gorgeous clothes underneath. She lifted her skirt and excitedly prepared to greet him.
The next second, the guards at the door stopped her.
Mrs. Xu was unhappy, "Get out of the way, I'm Mrs. Xu from the mansion, can't you see that the prince is coming back, let me out!"
"Sorry, Madam, you can't go out!" The guard said expressionlessly.
"Get out of the way!" Xu shouted sharply.
The guard remained unmoved, his body as steady as a rock as he blocked Xu's attack.
Seeing this, Xu had no choice but to kick the guard, thinking that he would give way, but the guard still stood firmly in place.
"Okay! You slave dog, wait for me!"
Xu gave him a vicious look and said, "Okay, you can't go out, right? Then she will guard the gate."
As soon as the prince comes in, she will complain to this lowly servant.
Restricted in her movements, Xu could only quickly straighten her clothes and face at the gate, and then she looked at the prince who was getting off the carriage with a calm and gentle face.
She watched the prince walk forward step by step, getting closer and closer to her, and her heart beat rapidly without control.
"Prince..."
Lu Zhao frowned and looked at the woman in front of him for a while, then recognized her identity.
"How did you come?"
The voice was cold and without any warmth.
Xu was stunned. Her original uncertain guess became reality. It must be that Jiang Xinghui who complained to the prince, otherwise why would the prince be so cold to her!
"I... Your Highness..." She opened her mouth, not knowing how to start the conversation, so she changed the subject, "Your Highness, your highness and I haven't seen you for many days, and we miss you so much..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Zhao interrupted him.
"I understand. Didn't I tell you last time that the court is very busy recently, so you should just stay in the yard and enjoy yourself?" Lu Zhao was a little impatient.
"Prince..." Xu wanted to tell what happened that day.
Lu Zhao looked over coldly, "Anything else?"
"Ah..." Xu was startled and shook her head subconsciously, "No, no!"
She glanced and saw the guard from before. When she was about to speak again, the prince's figure was gradually walking away.
She glared at the guard angrily, stamped her feet, and stormed off.
......
"Oh, sister, I was so nervous. As soon as the prince started talking, my mind went blank and I couldn't remember anything!" Xu complained with a look of annoyance.
Li's focus was not here, and she asked her, "You mean, you wanted to leave the house but were stopped by the guards?"
Xu was stunned and nodded.
"Yes! The prince's carriage was right in front of me that day. I just wanted to go out of the house to pick him up, but he directly said, 'Madam, you can't go out'! Oh, it's also my fault. I forgot to tell the prince about this, otherwise I would definitely let him reflect on it!"
"No." Li suddenly said.
"Ah?" Xu was stunned for a second. There was nothing he couldn't know.
"The prince won't care." Li looked around before speaking cautiously.
"You said the carriage had arrived. You were so close to each other. The prince had been on the battlefield and was a martial artist. How could he not hear it?"
Xu was thoughtful, a little scared, and swallowed unconsciously.
"You mean... the prince knew that the guards stopped me?"
"Yes." Li was sure, "Either the prince doesn't like us, or... he is the one who gave the order!"
"This...how could this be possible? No...no, the prince said he only loves me, he is even afraid that I will get hurt..." Xu subconsciously took a step back, muttering to herself.
Li's eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Is it because I was afraid of hurting your body that I didn't consummate the marriage with you?"
