Quick Wear: Cannon fodder fly bravely, good fortune will always follow

On this day, the maid prepared meals for the two of them as usual, and a nanny stood at the door behind them, staring at them.

The little maid picked up the food box and placed it on the table, very close to Li. She opened the lid with one hand and used the other hand to serve the food.

Perhaps it was placed a little off position, the maid's arm suddenly touched Li.

Li glanced at her subconsciously, and they looked at each other for a second, then she shifted her gaze to the lid on her left hand.

Li moved her eyes over calmly and saw the maid wipe it gently with her hand, and a few words gradually appeared on it.

"Write, it will appear when it meets water."

Her pupils suddenly shrank and she subconsciously glanced at the maid. The maid calmly brought out the last two bowls of soup and moved them in front of Li.

It’s called soup, but it looks more like water, so thin that you can reflect your face in it.

After setting the table, both of them left the house.

Xu quickly invited Li to eat together, but Li looked at the two bowls of soup with a serious look, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Sister, eat quickly! The food will get cold soon!"

"it is good."

Li moved the two bowls of soup in front of her to the side.

Xu scratched his head in confusion, and Li explained calmly.

"I need that soup, don't drink it yet!"

Xu nodded obediently.

......

Li walked around the room and saw that there was nothing wrong, so she pulled Xu into the innermost part and covered the room with a screen.

Then she picked up a brush and tried it. She dipped the brush into the soup and began to write on the paper.

Xu looked at her busying herself in confusion. She couldn't even see the words being dipped in the soup and written on. What was she doing?

She stopped writing after writing a word, blew on the paper, waited for it to dry, and poured another cup of water.

She put the dry paper into the water, and soon, a big "person" appeared.

Xu was about to exclaim, but she covered her mouth consciously the next second.

Li changed the bowl of soup again, but it had no effect. It seemed to be just an ordinary bowl of water.

It seems that the person behind this was not sure whether he had water or not, so he prepared a bowl of water and a bowl of soup at the same time.

After cleaning up the scene, Li did not act in a hurry, but fell into deep thought.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry at all, Xu quickly went over and whispered to her.

"Sister, it looks like that little maid is here to help us. Is she going to help us pass on a message?"

Xu was a little confused.

"It seems so." Li nodded. "The Marquis' Mansion has us locked up now, so there should be no need to make a fuss. I just don't know who this little maid belongs to, and what her intentions are."

"Sister, no matter what his intention is, he can help us get out. We will know it then! Let's write it down quickly!" Xu said enthusiastically.

"it is good."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the pen and gave it to Xu. After thinking for a while, she took out a handkerchief.

"Use this! The paper is still too obvious."

Xu nodded, dipped his finger in the soup, and began to think about how to write.

She subconsciously glanced at Li next to her, wanting to see how she was writing, but when she turned around, she saw her standing in a daze with empty hands.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why don't you write?"

Li came back to his senses and said, "It's useless if I write it."

"Ah? What did you say? How can it be useless to write it?" Mrs. Xu was stunned.

"Because my father doesn't care whether the Marquis' Mansion has me under house arrest or not. What he cares about is the benefits I bring to him. As long as I am here, as long as the Marquis' Mansion stands with him, my life or death is not important. Even if I successfully leave the Marquis' Mansion, my father will still sell me like a commodity. If I am no longer useful, he can just throw me away." Li said this calmly.

Xu opened her mouth, her eyes uncontrollably becoming warm again, she sniffed to stop the tears.

"Then what will you do next?"

"Try to live. Perhaps once this happens to you, the Marquis' Mansion will release me because of their reputation and won't dare to divorce me. Then, perhaps I will live more freely." Li chuckled.

Mrs. Xu stopped talking. She tried her best to suppress the tears and sobs that were about to burst out. After calming down for a long time, she finally thought about what she wanted to write.

Everything was ready, and the two began to discuss plans for the next day.

......

It was still the same little maid from yesterday, and she served the meal slowly.

Mrs. Xu seemed to be in a very good mood. She threw out a handful of copper coins and silver coins. "Not bad, I am very satisfied with today's lunch. This is a reward for you!"

Copper coins and silver coins fell to the ground like flowers scattered from heaven.

The little maid was stunned for a second, then looked back at the nanny cooperatively.

The nanny's eyes were shining as she stared at the silver coins on the ground closest to her.

"Thank you, Master!"

The maid bowed and began to pick up the copper coins.

She looked ahead intently, getting closer and closer to Xu. The nanny looked at the three of them several times, and finally succumbed to her greed.

Not only did she quickly pick up the nearest change, she even looked around to see if there was any fallen money around.

Xu seized the opportunity, quickly took out the silk handkerchief that had been hidden in her sleeve and stuffed it into the maid's arms, and the maid stuffed it in tacitly.

Li always paid attention to the nanny's gaze and blocked her view just right.

After the maid and the nanny left, Xu covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned close to Li and spoke in a low voice.

"I was scared to death. Fortunately, this trick worked! Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many copper coins and small change in this room, and it would be even harder to divert Mammy's attention in the future."

They put a lot of thought into collecting the money for today. Not only did they search the house thoroughly, they even searched the personal maids.

In the following days, both of them waited quietly.

In less than three days, there was movement outside the yard.

Xu had been paying attention to the noise these days, so when she heard the noisy noise in the yard, she immediately opened the door.

She immediately saw her anxious mother at the front of the crowd. Lu Zhao was beside her with a very ugly look on his face.

"Mother!" Xu shouted.

When Mrs. Xu heard her daughter's voice, she hurried over.

Mrs. Xu was a little worried that her mother might fall, so she ran over as fast as she could.

When Mrs. Xu saw her, tears welled up in her eyes. She touched Mrs. Xu's face and kept saying, "You've lost weight. Daughter, you've suffered!"

After finally seeing her mother, Xu's long-accumulated grievances suddenly burst out, and both mother and daughter burst into tears.

Lu Zhao was a little embarrassed and quickly winked at the servant.

After the two of them had been talking about their love for a while, Xu pulled Li over and said, "Mother, this is Sister Li. I am so grateful to her for taking care of me during this period of time!"

Mrs. Xu immediately held Li's hand and looked at her lovingly, "Good child, thank you!"

Li was a little embarrassed. She smiled back with a stiff expression, "Ah...it's my duty."

As if she suddenly remembered something, Mrs. Xu suddenly turned around and shouted to the crowd behind her.

"Doctor, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the doctor quickly walked around the crowd and came to the front.

Lu Zhao wanted to say something but stopped himself, but Mrs. Xu rolled her eyes and turned her back to him.

The group then returned to the house.

Xu looked at her mother with tearful eyes and felt happy.

As soon as the doctor withdrew his hand after taking the patient's pulse, Xu hurriedly pulled Li, who was standing next to her, over. She swiftly took out the silk handkerchief in her hand and covered Li's wrist with it.

"Wait, doctor, check her pulse too!"

The doctor took the patient's pulse without hesitation, and then looked at Mrs. Xu.

"The two ladies are in good health and just need to rest for a few days."

Mrs. Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked him, "Can the doctor tell if they had any serious illness before?"

The doctor frowned in confusion and shook his head, "No!"

"Okay, thank you doctor, Cuizhu!"

A maid came out in response, handed over a bulging purse, then bowed and made way for him to go out.

"Master Lu, what do you mean?" Madam Xu asked directly in public.

Mrs. Xu looked at her mother in confusion, but did not say anything.

Seeing that Xu's mother actually questioned him in front of all the servants in the mansion, he was secretly annoyed but looked calm on the surface.

"You all get down!"

At the command, all the servants in the marquis's mansion retreated, but the maid and servant brought by Xu's mother stood there motionless.

"Mother-in-law, this..."

Lu Zhao called her and glanced at the servants around him.

Mother Xu was unmoved and had no intention of dismissing the servants. "Why? Is this the character of the Marquis's son? I am your elder, so I can't even ask questions? Not only did he not reply, he even gave me instructions on how to do things?"

"Mother-in-law misunderstood. I didn't mean that!"

Mother Xu snorted coldly and did not reply.

Lu Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply, "Mother-in-law, you don't know, but the two ladies did behave very strangely some time ago. They kept saying some incomprehensible nonsense, and when they saw people, they got emotional and uncontrollably started fighting with them. In addition to these, the ladies always felt that the mansion would not let them leave, and when they arrived at the mansion gate, they fought with the guards. I thought they were dreaming, but later the ladies actually took the hairpin and pretended to commit suicide."

He spoke with great confidence, and his voice became smoother as he went on.

"I realized the problem only then. In order to prevent the two from hurting themselves, I had to temporarily lock them up in the yard and put away the sharp weapons. I specially asked a doctor to come and see them. The doctor said that he had never heard of such a disease and that he couldn't tell the cause even after taking their pulses. He guessed that it was a nightmare and confused my dream with reality, so he told me to rest. I didn't believe it at first, but the symptoms of the two ladies were indeed getting better day by day, so I had no choice but to do this!"

Lu Zhao sighed and knelt down in front of Madam Xu.

"Thank you for your worry, mother-in-law! I am worried that you will be sad after knowing this, so I will wait until they are well before telling you. If mother-in-law had not come to visit suddenly today, I would have brought my wife to visit her in the mansion after she recovered. What I said is true. If mother-in-law does not believe me, you can ask the maids and servants in the mansion, including the doctor who is also in the mansion."

As Lu Zhao spoke, his eyes became red. His gaze was firm and he looked extremely sincere.

Mother Xu's thoughts were rarely confused. She subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li, and began to recall the contents on the handkerchief.

Was her daughter dreaming or was Lu Zhao lying?

Xu was completely stunned. If she hadn't been one of the people who experienced all these things, she would have thought that what Lu Zhao said was true.

Li was slightly surprised. She glanced at Lu Zhao secretly and then lowered her eyes to hide her expression.

It seems that everyone in the imperial city has been deceived by this prince!

One of them is a talented lady with stunning beauty, and the other is a handsome man with all-round talents in literature and martial arts. They are all fake!

Mother Xu took another close look at Lu Zhao, who was still kneeling on the ground with an unyielding expression. He did not look like he was lying.

The doctor also said that there was nothing wrong with her daughter. Apart from having her pearl hairpins and jade rings taken away, there was nothing wrong with them. Could it really be her daughter's fault?

But everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was controlled by Lu Zhao, and he had no idea of ​​the doctor he mentioned, so naturally, whatever he said was the truth, and there was no way to verify it. Perhaps all the witnesses were used by him.

She looked at her daughter suspiciously again. Her daughter's eyes were clear and her anxiety was so obvious that she seemed extremely sober.

Seeing her mother's hesitation, Mrs. Xu was shocked and her face changed.

If their mother had been deceived by the prince, what would have been waiting for them would have been even more miserable!

"Mother, what the prince said is all lies! He was the one who locked us up. We are not sick at all!"

Lu Zhao quickly bowed and said in a gentle tone, "Mother-in-law, my wife...she can't stand being provoked. I think she was provoked too much today and started talking nonsense again!"

"I didn't! You have been talking nonsense all along. Not only did you lie to me, but now you are even lying to my mother. Isn't it just for the power behind our Xu family!"

Xu hated Lu Zhao so much that she angrily spoke to him without thinking.

"Shut up!" Xu's mother looked at her daughter disapprovingly. No matter what, some things cannot be said casually.

Xu was anxious, thinking that her mother believed Lu Zhao, and she cried emotionally, "Mom, everything I said is true... Lu Zhao even lied to me that I was still young, and we have been..."

"Madam! My mother-in-law is still here, stop talking nonsense!" Lu Zhao thought something was not right and quickly stopped her loudly.

But Xu's mother noticed something and her voice became a little cold.

"What's happened to you guys so far?"

Mrs. Xu was still crying, "Mother, we...didn't consummate our marriage..."

When Xu's mother heard this, she was so angry that she almost fell down. She leaned on the table and looked at the prince with cold eyes.

Lu Zhaoqiang propped himself up and thought about how to respond.

When Xu's mother saw that he did not directly refute her, she felt disappointed. It seemed that this was most likely true.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the yard. Marquis Zhongyi and Aunt Hua were leading a group of maids and old women over.

"Madam Xu, what's wrong? You have come all the way to visit the Marquis' Mansion, please don't hurt yourself because of misunderstanding." Aunt Hua asked gently.

Mother Xu glanced at her, expressionless, "I heard from my daughter that she and the prince have not yet consummated their marriage?"
