After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor

Chapter 55: Madam Lu Doesn’t Want to Listen to “Books”

That night, a message came from the Crown Prince. It turned out to be Cao Lanxin introducing herself. The palace maid knew that Lu Jiangnian's wife would come to the East Palace for a banquet today, so she thought that the person next to Cao Lanxin was the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

That’s why the wrong message is conveyed.

At that time, Liang Yusong did meet Zhao Liangfeng in Ziyunxuan.

Zhao Liangfeng was drunk at the time, and when he saw the young and beautiful Liang Yusong, he couldn't change his bad habits, so he went up to tease her.

Fortunately, the second prince arrived in time and helped Liang Yusong escape the disaster.

If the most favored person in the palace is Madam Zhaohua, then Concubine Zhao is the second most favored.

She was also the only concubine in the palace with two adult princes.

The third prince, Murong Ji, was good at martial arts. He once hunted a tiger and presented it to the emperor, winning the emperor's personal praise.

The sixth prince Murong Luo was a book lover who never put his books down and was good friends with men of letters.

The two brothers, one a scholar and the other a warrior, complement each other and are a force that cannot be underestimated in the court.

Zhao Liangfeng's father is the Minister of War, so he is a very arrogant person and doesn't even take ordinary people seriously.

Liang Yusong showed the sign of the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion, but Zhao Liangfeng became more aggressive and almost attacked Liang Yusong.

Lu Jiangnian was silent for a moment before asking Xuanying, "So, it's a coincidence?"

Xuanying said: "From the current perspective, it seems to be a coincidence."

seem?

This didn't sound like something Xuanying would say. Lu Jiangnian raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Tell me, what did you find?"

Xuanying said calmly, "After the prince left, the maid was very calm and went back to her work."

"Logically, since she was so enthusiastic about telling you this, you should at least pay attention to the subsequent developments. But it seems like she just passed on a message."

Lu Jiangnian nodded with satisfaction: "That makes sense. She thought I listened to her and went to Ziyunxuan. Since the mission was completed, I shouldn't worry about other things."

It seems that this is also a nail.

Who on earth had placed so many people around the prince? Was it Madam Zhaohua or Concubine Zhao?

"Tell the prince to make some arrangements and see if he can catch some fish or shrimp."

Because of the subversion of the plot, Yuan Wanru was really depressed for two days.

That day, Liu Zhi suddenly came in and whispered a few words in Yuan Wanru's ear. Yuan Wanru's previous depression was swept away, and her eyes lit up: "I almost forgot about this. I'm in a bad mood, so I should go collect some interest."

Liuzhi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that her mood had returned to its former cheerful state.

After the eldest young lady came back from the East Palace, she acted strangely and couldn't muster up any energy.

Fortunately, the thing she had been keeping an eye on had finally been figured out, and the eldest young lady was able to have fun again.

Yuan Wanru dressed up beautifully and was about to go to Rongshou Hall with Liu Zhi. Liu Yan looked at them with a sad face: "Are you really not taking me with you?"

Yuan Wanru saw the bruises on her neck that had not yet disappeared and said regretfully, "There's nothing I can do. Your injury is hard to explain. You can't go out until it heals."

"Don't worry, Liuzhi is here with us. If you want to listen to the opera, she'll come back and tell you. It's the same thing."

Liu Yan curled her lips in disdain: "Forget it, she probably just said two sentences, but it summed up everything. It made me feel even worse."

Liuzhi glared at her and said unhappily, "You want to hear it but I won't tell you."

-

In Rongshou Hall, Matron Cao said sarcastically, "The old lady has just gone to bed. If the eldest young lady is truly filial, why not wait here? The old lady will surely be happy to see the eldest young lady when she wakes up."

How could Yuan Wanru not know that Old Lady Lu's little plan was just to make her stand here as punishment.

"Forget it then. The old lady is old and rarely gets a good night's sleep. If she knew I was standing here, she might not be able to sleep peacefully. I am such a filial son, how can I let the old lady sleep uneasy?"

"Madam Cao, when the old lady wakes up, tell her I was here."

Nanny Cao had never seen such a shameless person. It was obvious that she was unwilling to wait, but she insisted on giving herself the label of "filial piety".

"I didn't realize that this is the way to show filial piety to elders."

"If the eldest young lady didn't have this kind of filial piety, she shouldn't have come to Rongshou Hall."

Yuan Wanru looked at Madam Cao with a smile, but that smile was a little cold.

"Why? The old lady has doubts about my filial piety. If that's the case, why not wait until she wakes up and I'll talk to her about the principles in the book. I should also let her understand that the way to be filial is not what she thinks."

When Madam Cao heard this, she felt sick all over.

Now, the old lady felt uncomfortable when she heard Yuan Wanru mention the word "book". Who knew where Yuan Wanru would come up with this long speech, confusing everyone and making her look like a fool.

"No need, Madam, please go back quickly."

This is exactly what Yuan Wanru was waiting for.

I didn’t come to Rongshou Hall in the past because Old Lady Lu ordered me not to pay my respects.

If she came to Rongshou Hall but did not pay her respects to the elders first, she would be disrespectful.

Now, Old Lady Lu herself refused to see her, and that wasn't because she didn't know etiquette.

"Then I won't disturb the old lady's rest."

Nanny Cao watched her turn around and walk away, thinking she had left, but unexpectedly, she turned around and went to the west wing.

It has been more than ten days since Cao Lanxin caused the incident of catching a thief, and Yuan Wanru has never mentioned it, so everyone in Rongshou Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Wanru suddenly showed up.

She hurried in to report to the old lady, telling her that she couldn't really be allowed to take away the entire set of headwear.

The Cao family will not suffer such a big loss.

-

When Cao Lanxin heard that Yuan Wanru had arrived, her face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Why is she here?"

Cao Lanzhi sighed, "I'm afraid it's all about that headgear."

Cao Lanxin slammed the table hard. "My second cousin is so useless! I've given her five hundred taels of silver, but she hasn't done anything."

In order to get the note back, she gave Zhou Fang a lot of silver. Compared with several thousand taels and several hundred taels, she would of course choose the smaller loss.

As long as she got the note, she could keep the entire set of headwear.

If Yuan Wanru wants a complete set of headgear, she must exchange it for a receipt.

Otherwise, who knows if she will turn against her and blackmail her again.

Cao Lanzhi didn't care about Zhou Fang anymore. What was bothering her now was how to fool her and persuade Yuan Wanru to leave.

The Cao family's frugality is ingrained in their nature, and the sisters could not accept losing a large sum of money for no reason.

Moreover, the beneficiary was Yuan Wanru, whom they hated very much.

Just thinking about it makes me feel so uncomfortable.

Before they could come up with a good idea, they heard a message from outside: "The eldest young master's wife is here."

Cao Lanzhi and Cao Lanxin looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. How could they get rid of this stubborn woman?

As soon as Yuan Wanru entered the room, she saw the Cao sisters. Both of them had long faces and not a single smile on their faces.

She laughed even more broadly.

Why did she waste time these two days?

It's time to trouble them.

When you are feeling down, make the people you hate even more unhappy than you are, and you will feel happy.
