"That girl is wearing a white dress and she looks very beautiful. I really don't know what will happen if I offend the young lady from the Duke's Mansion!"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and told the truth about the scene he saw. Perhaps it was because the girl was so beautiful that people took a few more glances and remembered her appearance.
I also felt a little regretful in my heart. If I angered the young lady from the Duke's Mansion like this, I'm afraid the end would not be good.
"Thank you."
Hearing that she was wearing a white skirt further confirmed Lu Chen's uneasiness that she was really her sister.
After walking out, he suddenly felt confused again. Can he enter the Duke's Mansion alone?
What's more, if my sister is so capable, how could she be taken away by a lady from the Duke's Mansion? I think this must be intentional.
He shouldn't be able to go in, so he might as well go back to the palace to find the emperor. Isn't the emperor the most important person in the capital? Who would dare not let people go as long as the emperor is gone?
Ever since she met Lu Chen, Lu Wange had been in a state of confusion. She couldn't eat well or sleep well every day, and her complexion had deteriorated a lot.
What's more important is that I don't know what Lu Chen wants to do, and I don't know when such a person exists, so I feel worried and scared all the time.
This time she couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to pay her respects to the queen. She heard that the saint once took her younger brother to pay her respects to the queen, so she wanted to ask.
"Why are you asking these things?"
The queen glanced at Lu Wange casually, but found that Lu Wange's appearance was not as good-looking as before.
But more of them felt puzzled. His Majesty had made it clear about the saint, but Lu Wange still came over to ask. Could it be that there was a misunderstanding?
"Your Majesty has made it clear that the Saint is assisting His Majesty in government affairs and has nothing to do with the harem, so you can rest assured."
The queen's tone was a little sarcastic, thinking that Lu Wange was worried that the saint would compete for favor like a concubine in the harem, but how could this be possible?
The saint is such a capable person, and it would be too unfair to compete for favor in the harem.
"No, no, that's not what I meant."
Seeing that the queen had misunderstood, Lu Wange quickly shook her head and defended. In the past, she would not have been so eager to explain, but now she had something more puzzling to ask.
"Does your Majesty know about the saint's younger brother?"
As he spoke, Lu Chen's face appeared in his mind, and his heart jumped suddenly.
Why did this child still appear in front of her, why didn't she die there, why was she still haunting her like a nightmare!
Why on earth!
"I don't know about this. I just met her once and she seemed taciturn. But what does all this have to do with you? Your Majesty has already said that no one in the harem is allowed to have anything to do with the saint, nor are they allowed to interfere. anything."
Perhaps His Majesty himself knows that the Saint is such a beautiful little girl, and the concubines in the harem are always a little cautious, so he gave such an order.
What is going on with Lu Wange? Even if there is a fight, it won't really come down to the saint, right?
"So that's it, that concubine has resigned."
Not getting any useful information, Lu Wange could only retreat in disappointment. She came here just to get the answer she wanted, not to listen to the Queen's sarcasm.
As long as she seizes the opportunity, the Queen likes to ridicule her. This mouth is really unforgiving, no wonder she has to be loved by His Majesty!
"Have you been ill these past few days? I see that your complexion looks very bad. Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look?"
Yuexiang held Lu Wange's arm and asked with a worried look on her face.
Even she could tell that the empress didn't look good. No wonder His Majesty hadn't been here these days. The most important thing to the empress was her appearance, so she couldn't relax.
Lu Wange didn't want to speak, but just shook his head. If he was sick, it was a mental illness. If he didn't resolve these major issues in his heart, he might not get better.
Now that Lu Chen has appeared in front of her, the saint knows everything about it.
But now that the Saint is so trusted by His Majesty, if she casually says a few words in front of His Majesty, will she still have her glory and wealth?
The more I thought about this, the more frightened I became. In the end, my whole body became weak and I didn't even have the strength to stand up, and my body was all leaning against Yuexiang.
"What happened to my empress?"
Yuexiang stretched out her hand to support Lu Wange with her own body. She didn't understand what happened to the empress these days. It seemed that her whole person had changed since she last saw the saint.
But I was also present at that time, and the saint didn't say anything or do anything. Why was the empress so frightened?
"Stop asking, let's talk about it when we get back!"
Lu Wange bit her lip hard. In fact, it was quite a bargain when she thought about it. She had lived a life of fine clothing and fine food for so many years, so it was not a loss. If that child wanted to take revenge, then let's do it!
Indeed, I feel sorry for this child and made him suffer for so many years. If you want to take revenge, then take revenge!
The emperor was delivering memorials in the palace, and someone announced that it was the saint's younger brother who wanted to see him. He raised his eyebrows in confusion.
In his impression, the saint's younger brother has always been taciturn and doesn't like to talk. I wonder if there is anything that can make him come to him in person?
When Lu Chen came in, he first saluted and said hello, and then told him exactly what happened just now.
It was already past the time agreed between him and his sister, but her sister still didn't show up, which meant that she was really taken to the palace.
"What?"
The emperor became angry when he heard this. Tao Yao was a saint he had personally consecrated. If he dared to treat the saint like this, it showed that he didn't take him as the emperor seriously at all. It was just a slap in his face!
Immediately, he took people to the Duke's Mansion angrily, to see who was so ignorant that he dared to bully the saint!
There was a lot of commotion in the Duke's Mansion. After Wei Shu had Tao Yao brought back to the house, she had people bring in benches and long boards, hoping to give her twenty boards.
But how could Tao Yao be beaten obediently? Naturally, the whole house was turned upside down. This made Wei Shu even more angry, and her fair little face turned red with anger.
Wei Zhao originally didn't want to make the matter such a big deal, but his sister insisted on it, so he had no choice but to make her happy first.
But now seeing Tao Yao causing a scene in the house, with a bit of murderous intent in her eyes, this woman is like a shrew.
"Do you know that this is not a place for you to act up? Originally, I just wanted to beat you twenty times, but you dare to be so crazy in front of me. It's better to keep your life here!"
Wei Shu pointed at Tao Yao and scolded her fiercely. It's good, since she couldn't bear it for so many days and she had to have someone to vent her anger on.
This time it was this crazy woman who bumped into her, so don’t blame yourself for being cruel. She was just a girl from a mountain village who didn’t know where she came from. Even if she really beat someone to death, so what?
Wei Zhao didn't say anything, but he acquiesced to Wei Shu's intention. Anyway, everything was just to make his sister happy.
"Then I'm so scared! It turns out that this aloof rich lady likes to beat people to death when she's unhappy!"
Tao Yao deliberately spoke loudly, and it turned out to be such a big fuss that it naturally alarmed the Duke and his wife.
Seeing the Duke and his wife coming out, the Wei Shu brothers naturally restrained themselves a little, but Wei Shu was still angry. It was obvious that Tao Yao had just made her angry.
"What happened? Who is this girl? Why is she in our house?"
The Duke's wife looked at all this with confusion on her face.
"Mother!"
Wei Shu walked to the side of the Duke and his wife aggrievedly. Just now she was arrogant and protective, but now she lowered her head in aggrieved manner, with tears in her eyes. She looked like she had really been greatly wronged.
"Why are Shu'er crying? Why have you been wronged?"
Seeing his beloved holy daughter crying so aggrieved, the Duke's eyes were fixed on Tao Yao. It seemed that Tao Yao was the culprit.
"I went shopping with my sister just now, and I fell in love with the same hairpin as this girl, but the girl didn't let go, pushed my sister, and said some dirty words, so my sister is like this Wronged."
Wei Zhao naturally spoke to Wei Shu, and implicitly and externally he placed all the blame on Taoyao. In his opinion, everyone who made his sister unhappy should die.
"Why are you so ungrateful, girl?"
The Duke's wife immediately felt distressed when she heard this. How could her pampered daughter suffer such injustice outside?
Looking at the girl's clothes, they are not too luxurious, and she is so unruly. She doesn't think she is a young lady from a wealthy family.
"Why are you so unreasonable? It's true that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! As a mother, you don't ask clearly what happened. Instead, you just take your anger out on me for your daughter. You are really confused when you call the shots!”
Tao Yao was really angry and laughed. She took a closer look at the Duke and his wife. They were only concerned about Wei Shu's mood.
In fact, they are the silly girl's biological parents, and Wei Zhao is the silly girl's biological brother, but at this moment, they are all protecting Wei Shu.
Even in the original world, I wish that stupid daughter had never come back.
"How dare you speak so rudely to your mother! You are really bold!"
Wei Shu bit her lip fiercely. In fact, the reason why she was so angry had nothing to do with the hairpin. It was just because she disliked this girl!
Yes, from the moment I saw her face, I felt a very uneasy feeling in my heart, and it was that familiar feeling of anxiety.
She didn't like the girl in front of her, she was disgusted, especially when she saw the girl's smiling eyes, she always felt a little panicked.
She just wanted this girl to disappear, and all the anxieties in her heart to disappear!
The Duke and his wife looked at Tao Yao with disgust. They had never seen such an unruly girl. No wonder Wei Shu was so angry.
Wei Shu was so angry that she immediately gave the servants around her a look. She would never let this bitch leave the Duke's mansion alive tonight!
Naturally, Taoyao would not let others take advantage of her. She flew up and sat on the roof, looking down at these people.
In fact, these people should have been relatives of the silly girl. The girl should have enjoyed all this, but because of an accident, he lost everything and gained nothing.
"You girl are really weird. You are so unruly and don't understand the rules. Don't you know where this is? You have gone too far. Do you think you can leave safely tonight?"
The Duke of Guo obviously had murderous intentions and stared at Taoyao who was sitting on the roof.
This little girl really has no rules at all. She made Wei Shu so angry and dared to speak rudely to Madam without shame. She really needs to be taught a lesson!
"Whether I can leave safely or not is my own business. You don't need to worry. I think you should worry about how to explain to His Majesty later!"
Tao Yao sat on the roof dangling her feet. She really didn't have a good impression of anyone in this family. The Duke and his wife just preferred Wei Shu and were not unreasonable at all.
The same goes for Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao clearly saw all this just now, but he still chose to dote on his sister, and it was not unreasonable at all. After all, we are all a family!
She never thought about being merciful. Since they all treated her like this, she would think about how to explain to His Majesty later!
