Lu Qing'er ran all the way to Yingyuan, went upstairs and rushed straight to Xia Taoyuan's room, pushed Xia Taoyuan onto the bed and tickled her armpits. Xia Taoyuan was so itchy that she laughed until she couldn't breathe and kept begging for mercy.
The two of them laughed and joked for a long time before they stopped. At noon, the maids brought lunch early. After lunch, they rested for a while. Lu Qing'er suggested going out to play, and Xia Taoyuan was naturally willing and readily agreed.
The two of them left the house without taking anyone with them. With Lu Qing'er as an expert, the maids naturally didn't have to worry about the young lady's safety.
Lu Qing'er took Xia Taoyuan for a walk and came to a place. Although there were shops on both sides of the street, it was not as lively as Jinshi Street. This street mostly sold pens, ink, paper, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings, and most of the people who came here were scholars.
Xia Taoyuan liked the atmosphere here very much. When she saw Lu Qing'er picking a brush, she suddenly remembered that she saw Chu Xingluo writing when she went to Prince Jing's Mansion. She was worried about what to give him, so she decided to give him a brush to avoid being accused of eating his snacks for free.
Lu Qing'er said that she bought it for her own use. Her father always told her that as a girl, she should be calm and not have a bad temper. She should be more restrained and practice calligraphy to cultivate her character.
After choosing for a while, the two finally bought what they liked. Then they went to Jinshi Street for a walk and bought some food and toys before leaving.
Lu Qing'er sent Xia Taoyuan back home. Not long after she walked, she ran into the Lu Mansion's servant who came to look for Lu Qing'er. The servant was extremely anxious and said, "Miss, I just went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for you. They said that you and Miss Wei went out to play. You should go home quickly. Something happened at home!"
Lu Qing'er asked anxiously: "What happened?"
The servant explained the cause of the incident in bits and pieces. It turned out that General Lu's two concubines had a quarrel and ran to Madam Lu to ask her to judge. Madam Lu was not in good health to begin with, and she was upset by the two concubines. She fainted from anger. Lu Qing'er's maid asked Zhang Qing, a servant in the mansion, to go out and look for Lu Qing'er.
Lu Qing'er got angry when she heard this. She told Zhang Qing to send Xia Taoyuan back to the prime minister's residence and then went straight home.
Seeing that Lu Qing'er was very angry and afraid that something might happen, Xia Taoyuan asked Zhang Qing to return home quickly. Anyway, they were very close to the Prime Minister's Residence, and what could possibly happen?
Zhang Qing left as he said. Xia Taoyuan walked towards the prime minister's residence by herself. As she walked, she thought: I didn't expect General Lu to have two concubines. Do all wealthy families have to marry concubines? Then she thought of Chu Xingluo and suddenly felt a little irritated. It was impossible for the prince Jing to marry only one. She knew that in ancient times, people with a little status had three wives and four concubines, not to mention the prince?
Would she be jealous of Chu Xingluo's concubines in the future? Thinking of this, she shuddered. She didn't want to share a man with others. It was dirty!
But she was in ancient times, in the Kingdom of Beiyue, and any man with some power would not have only one wife. Moreover, she could not guarantee that she was charming enough to make Chu Xingluo love only her.
Xia Taoyuan became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it. He looked at the brush in his hand and suddenly became angry. "Give you a brush? That's just wishful thinking!" He folded the brush into two pieces and threw it away.
She walked forward angrily, and suddenly her eyes went dark, and something covered her head. She tried to move it away, but someone clamped her hands tightly and she couldn't move. As soon as she shouted for help, someone covered her mouth. Xia Taoyuan felt something was wrong. Was she kidnapped? How could someone be so bold in broad daylight?
