The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Miss, that's where the distinguished guests are staying. We can't go over there. If the lady finds out..."

"Hey, girl!"

As the maidservant spoke, she saw her own girl walking straight over there without even listening.

She quickly chased after her and tried to stop Lu Yayin, but Lu Yayin was annoyed and pushed the maid away with a flick of her sleeve.

She just wanted to take a look from a distance.

Today, when she was stamping in her father's study, a group of people came to the mansion and she saw them from a distance.

It was this one glance that made her unforgettable. The young man in the lead had hair as if cut by a knife and eyebrows as if painted with ink. He was a unique and handsome man.

The trace of blood on his cheek added a unique charm to him. Lu Yayin was stunned on the spot, her heart beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Lu Yayin was still staring at him blankly until the man disappeared around the corner.

She really couldn't sleep tonight, so she got up and came over to take a look. She knew very well that she couldn't go over.

She seldom went to the front yard on weekdays. These days she followed her mother to learn housekeeping. Today, her mother was tripped up by trivial matters and asked her to go to her father's study to get the seal.

Maybe this is fate, Lu Yayin thought.

I wonder where this young man is from?

Lu Yayin stood by the pond and looked over there. She could faintly see lights on in the courtyard.

Lu Yayin lifted her skirt and walked gently over. She stood under a willow tree and leaned slightly against it.

The maid was relieved when she saw that her daughter did not pass through the second gate. It was not because she was worried that her daughter could get through, after all, the second gate was locked and there was a maid guarding the gate.

Although! But! If! Anyway! If the lady knew that she hadn't stopped the young lady from doing such an outrageous thing, she would definitely be punished.

My monthly salary is already pitifully low, and I was fined last time and haven’t received any money this month.

If it were to happen again...

The maidservant complained bitterly in her heart, and felt very nervous when she saw the girl there.

I just hope nothing happens, and I can go back quietly later, and let this matter be over tonight.

A breeze blew by, bringing the heat in the air and causing the willow branches to sway slightly.

Lu Yayin just stared at it blankly. She didn't know what was wrong with her, as if she was obsessed.

She just wanted to take another look at that person, even just for one moment.

Duan Jing'an happened to walk over here. He had just heard from the servants that there was a lake next to the yard, and fresh water was being brought in.

Thinking that the lakeside would be a little cooler, I walked out of the yard and was led here.

When I got here, although it was still stuffy, it was not as hot as in the house. It was better than nothing.

The servant in front was holding a lantern to light the road under his feet.

Duan Jing'an saw a private viewing area not far away and walked over.

Just like that, his figure appeared in Lu Yayin's sight.

"Bang bang bang!"

It was the familiar heartbeat again. Lu Yayin covered her chest and stared at the man on the other side of the lake.

After Duan Jing'an sat down, he first admired the remaining lotus leaves in the lake.

The withered lotus leaves are under the willows, and the crescent moon is above the clouds.

Although it was not a full moon at this time, Duan Jing'an actually felt a little homesick.

Realizing his own mood, he shook his head with amusement, and set off for Beijing after his third brother-in-law got better.

And at this moment, Duan Jing'an felt a burning gaze locking onto him.

I looked over there involuntarily, and saw a beautiful figure standing on the opposite bank in the darkness.

Realizing that this might be a female member of Magistrate Lu's family, Duan Jing'an felt a little annoyed.

You shouldn't walk around in someone else's house.

It was his fault for offending the women in the mansion. Thinking of this, he quickly stood up.

"There are mosquito bites here, so let's go back early."

In order to reduce trouble, I pretended not to see it.

In this way, Duan Jing'an came and left in a hurry.

Before Lu Yayin could see enough, Junying disappeared.

She held onto the willow tree and couldn't help wanting to call out to him.

"Eh"

The maid Qiao'er next to her was so scared that she quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth.

Oh my god, do you want me to live?

Qiao'er didn't dare to think about what would happen if this disturbed the distinguished guest and the master and mistress found out.

Lu Yayin was pulled back to her senses. Thinking back to her rudeness just now, her face turned red. She lowered her head, frowned, covered her face, and ran back.

Qiao'er felt relieved and hurried to catch up. The ancestor had finally returned.

In fact, it was too early for Qiao'er to let go.

When we returned to the yard, everything was quiet.

Qiao'er was glad that no one noticed her, but when she entered the house, she saw the lady sitting in the first seat with a gloomy face, eight old women standing beside her, and the maids in the yard were kneeling on the side.

Lu Yayin was startled. She was thinking about something and didn't notice that all the maids in the yard were gone.

Qiao Er was so exhausted after seeing this that she almost fainted. Oh my god, her money was gone again!

Her legs went limp and she fell to her knees.

Lu Yayin was still standing, but she was already extremely panicked.

Mrs. Lu asked the maid to close the door, and everyone else left.

When the door closed, only Qiao'er, Madam Lu and Lu Yayin were left in the room.

"Your Majesty!"

Lu Yayin was startled and slowly knelt down. Qiao'er beside her was already trembling with fear.

"Tell me, why aren't you in your boudoir so late? What are you doing?"

Just as Lu Yayin was about to speak, Mrs. Lu stopped her sternly, and Lu Yayin was so frightened that she trembled all over.

"Shut up, I want her to speak!"

When Qiao'er saw that the lady was talking about her, her face turned pale.

"Reply, reply, reply Madam, the young lady said that the room was stuffy and wanted to go out for some fresh air. I followed the young lady to the edge of Ming Lake to enjoy the breeze for a while, and then we came back."

Mrs. Lu looked at Qiao'er without blinking. Qiao'er felt numb all over and answered in a trembling voice.

"is it?"

Qiao'er kowtowed quickly

"Madam, what this servant said is all true, please understand."

As for who the girl met and her abnormal behavior at the end, Qiao'er naturally didn't dare to say it out loud.

When Lu Yayin heard Qiao'er say this, she quickly continued the conversation and spoke to her mother.

"Yes, mother, I felt stuffy in the house, so I went out for a walk to cool off. I thought it would be cooler by the lake, so I went for a walk there."

Mrs. Lu dropped her teacup heavily on the table and sat there.

Qiao'er shuddered again when she heard the voice, and Lu Yayin knelt down and stepped forward to apologize with a smile.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? You came to your daughter's house so late. Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had come, I wouldn't have gone out."

Mrs. Lu's expression softened a little when she heard her daughter's coquettish voice.

"Get up."

Lu Yayin quickly stood up and smoothed her clothes.

"Are you telling the truth? Didn't you lie to me?"

Lu Yayin felt a little guilty, but she only stayed by Ming Lake for a while.

"Of course. If you don't believe me, you can ask the servants."

Seeing Lu Yayin's convincing words, he believed her 70% in his heart.

She is Yayin's biological mother, and her abnormality had been reported to her during the day.

She didn't care at first, but in the evening she remembered that she forgot to tell her that she was going to a banquet the next day, so she came to see her.

Who would have thought that there would be no sign of her? When I asked the servants, they didn't know where the girl had gone.

Thinking of her abnormal behavior during the day, Mrs. Lu suddenly became angry, which led to the scene just now.
