"His Royal Highness, the frivolous young lady?"
Lutang was imprisoned in the oil-walled car by Xiao Yuanmu for more than half an hour. Then he came out with disheveled hair, loose clothes, and messy rouge. The result was obvious at a glance.
"Don't mention this again!" Lutang gasped, trying to calm down his anger.
Su Su was angry that she could not protect the young lady, and the coachman also bowed his head in shame and remained silent.
"My slave still thinks he is a good person..."
"Don't mention him again!"
In his previous life, the King of Jin sent Lutang to lure him with sex several times, but Xiao Yuanmu never fell into the trap. He was by no means a hungry ghost who easily fell into Rouge's scheme.
But Xiao Yuanmu in this life caught Lutang off guard. I originally wanted to form an alliance with him and make peace, but now I am afraid that I will be eaten by this hungry tiger that cannot be fed enough.
He is still a good person!
Lutang felt a splitting headache.
Except for Xiao Yuanmu's incident, today was extremely smooth.
Lutang returned to the mansion and immediately started planning and preparations.
"Pick a few reliable people. There will be a fight in two days. Everyone, prepare in advance!"
In her previous life, she was led by Wenhong Yao and was controlled by her everywhere. In this life, she must strike first.
In the early morning of the third day, what was supposed to come finally came.
"Second Miss, I found this thing in your yard, how do you explain it?"
The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion held a bag of boiled medicinal residues with a faint smile.
The safflower mixed with it is sour and pungent. You don't need to ask to know that it is an abortion medicine.
Lutang was having breakfast, and when he heard these familiar questions, he felt a little excited.
"I don't take medicine. How can I explain it? Our hospital's Miss Zhang makes medicine every day. Can't we just go to her room and ask?"
The housekeeper is Mrs. Wenhou's companion, and is in charge of the affairs of the Marquis's house.
In her previous life, Lutang was often humiliated by this evil slave.
"I've already asked Zhang Xiaoniang, and she said that you are in charge of everything in the courtyard, and you also handle her medicine!"
Lutang took a piece of snack and ate it slowly, with a look of indifference on his face.
"My servant has no rules, and he follows the example. When the young lady is eating, instead of waiting outside, she actually goes ahead to talk to you, and greets you and me when she comes. Is this the same for grandma in front of my aunt?
"The second young lady said old slave, but the old slave didn't dare to reply. It's just that the old slave is old, and he was brought by the madam's natal family, so he has some dignity. Even the Marquis has never said that about the old slave!"
The old guy doesn't know yet, but the second young lady in front of him has already reshaped his golden body and is no longer someone who can be manipulated at will.
"Uncle and aunt are really kind-hearted, allowing you to live until now. If I were in charge, I would have sent you to the West."
"You, a girl who has no parents and has not left the government, dare to be so unruly?"
"You are a slave, and you still want to beat me?" Lutang threw the teacup in his hand.
Diao Nu had boiling water poured on his face, and he rushed forward to fight with all his strength.
"It's murder! The housekeeper wants to kill the second young lady! Someone, come quickly! Someone, come!"
Su Su called her servants to rush into the house, dragged the housekeeper and three or five of her men to the courtyard, and beat and kicked them.
They originally wanted to investigate, but they didn't expect a group fight when they entered the house, and they were beaten to a pulp.
Lutang stood in the corridor, looking at the chaotic crowd.
The servants in the small courtyard were obviously divided into two teams. Most of them rushed forward in response, but only a few were timid and did not dare to show their faces.
The fighting in the courtyard was so lively that Zi Xian had already run out with her maid. Even Zhang Xiaoniang, who was lying in bed, was supported by others and went out to watch the fun.
"Someone eats red flowers in your courtyard! You, the widowed girl in the second wife, have raised evil seeds in your belly! You are shameless and dare to hit people!"
Being beaten anxiously, the housekeeper spoke freely.
Of course, the loyal servants in the small courtyard couldn't bear to hear such frame-up, and they fought even more vigorously.
"Bah! You old man who wants to die, if you dare to slander young lady, I'll beat you to death!"
The leader had already prepared a broom and a pole to hold against the door bars, and suddenly sticks were flying everywhere.
"There is evidence! It was brought by the mother-in-law in Zhang Xiaoniang's room! Zhang Xiaoniang came to the steward's room to report! Stop fighting!"
Finally, the housekeeper couldn't stand it any longer, so she grabbed the old lady who was watching the excitement, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and kept scolding her.
"Tell me! Was this found in the second lady's room?"
The one who went to the steward's room to report was Mrs. Hu, Zhang Xiaoniang's subordinate, who usually worked in the small kitchen.
"The second young lady was boiling medicine in the small kitchen. I was afraid that something would happen to her if she took the medicine randomly, so I left the dregs of the medicine behind!" Mrs. Hu's eyes rolled around and she kept glancing at Xiaoniang Zhang.
Zhang Xiaoniang immediately stamped her feet and beat her chest, jumping on her feet and crying: "Girl, this is the medicine for abortion! Oh, how can I be worthy of the dead second master and second wife! Girl, you have tricked me to death!"
The steward's room had been informed early that something had happened in the courtyard of the second room, and three or four more housekeepers were sent with more than a dozen people to calm down the commotion.
The small courtyard was so crowded that there was no communication between the inside and outside. Lutang set up a chair in the corridor and sat upright, holding a tea cup and acting with a smile.
"Have a slave take the dregs of the medicine, and say that I drank the medicine, and I say that I didn't drink it, so what? Are you asking me to confront the slave?"
The housekeepers who had just arrived felt that the second young lady was not easy to deal with. They whispered for a long time and decided to search everyone's room:
"The slaves are so bold that they want to search the second lady's house."
Lutang sneered and said: "You want to search my house just because of Mrs. Hu's words? I want to blind you! Since it's Zhang Xiaoniang's people who are holding the medicine dregs, let's search her own house first!"
"That's fine, I'm the only one taking medicine in the courtyard, so let's check my room first."
The housekeeper has a clear mind.
Now it seems that the weak persimmon in the second room is the sick Zhang Xiaoniang, not the pretentious Lutang.
She and Zi Yuan's mother and daughter lived in three east wing rooms, so searching first would make sure there was no mistake.
The best thing is to find something. If nothing is found, the blame will be placed on the aggressive second lady.
Zhang Xiaoniang was so angry that she had taken the medicine for a few days and had no room to think except crying.
The women entered the east chamber noisily.
Lutang glanced sideways at Zi Daan and pretended to lower his head to drink tea.
Zi Daan was hiding in the corner, looking around with big eyes.
Today's story was instigated by their mother and daughter. The source was that Mrs. Hu discovered that Su Su had hidden safflower medicinal residue in the ashes.
Zhang Xiaoniang woke up Zi Geng before dawn and asked her to go to the steward's room to spread the word.
The second sister secretly drank the abortion pill, which Zi Yun doubted.
She tried her best to persuade her that she should discuss with Wen Hongyao before making a decision.
But Zhang Xiaoniang refused to listen to her daughter and sent someone to the steward's room to report her.
"Why is there any need for the eldest lady to take action? We and I got rid of your second sister! As soon as this scandal came out, the Marquis had your second sister Shen Tang executed. You are the only daughter of our second wife. It is a good marriage in the Jin Palace. It’s yours! The second wife’s property and the second wife’s dowry all belong to my precious daughter!”
Zhang Xiaoniang's eyes were shining with golden light, as if she had everything under control.
But the scuffle in the courtyard this morning, coupled with Wen Lutang's behavior of sitting still, made Zi Yun worried.
Zi Xuan took her confidant maid Caiping and whispered, pushing her out of the courtyard gate.
"Where did the Third Miss send people?" Susu brought a snack plate to Lutang and took a few bites herself. After all, only when you have a full meal can you win the battle.
"Find Wenhong Yao to report the news." Lutang smiled lightly, everything was going according to plan.
"Found it!" An old woman held up the medicinal powder and proudly showed it to the housekeepers, teasing and taunting Zhang Xiaoniang and Zi Yuan who were crying.
"Mom, this is not the medicine you usually take. This was found from under the third lady's pillow!"
"I have been a midwife for more than ten years, and I know many gynecological medicines. This is a contraceptive product used by women to delay the ejaculation. What does the third lady use it for?"
Zhang Xiaoniang was speechless and Zi Daan's face turned pale in panic.
The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the spirit beside Zi Daan comes forward!
"Don't talk nonsense! This is good medicine. The eldest lady gave it to our third lady! The third lady is so precious that she is reluctant to use it!"
Lutang secretly cheered, the little girl was indeed not weak.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Don't talk nonsense! It's not mine!" Zi Daan almost collapsed. She never thought about how to explain the packet of medicinal powder, and Wenhong Yao didn't teach her how to clear up the suspicion.
Ling'er quickly grabbed the advantage: "Sister Caiping said it, and she won't let the slaves touch it!"
Zi Daan jumped up and down anxiously, while Zhang Xiaoniang hit her angrily: "You little hooves with a bad mouth! I let you talk nonsense!"
Ling'er cried loudly, her cries shaking the heaven and the earth.
Zi Daan looked around in shock, pushed her mother away and did not dare to hit her again, and coaxed Ling'er awkwardly.
Ling'er is young and has a naive appearance. She doesn't look like a child who can tell lies.
After getting involved with the eldest lady Wen Hongyao, the housekeepers realized that something was going on and lost their good spirits.
The noise in the courtyard slowly subsided and gradually fell into dead silence, leaving only the sounds of sobbing and crying.
Wen Hongyao didn't come forward herself, but instigated Zhang Xiaoniang and Ziqian to come forward. These housekeepers only knew how to watch the second wife's joke, and none of them had any brains!
"Since there is this in the Purple Giander Room, there might be something else." Lutang sipped the hot tea and said with a smile, "Send someone to look through it more carefully, right?"
Zhang Xiaoniang pointed at Lutang and cried: "Girl, when people bully your sister, sit down on the bank and watch! Even you will have to do it in a while, don't let others see the joke!"
Lutang put down the tea cup and said with a cold tone: "Stop talking about me, even my eldest sister will have to dig through the yard in a while! We are all the same family, who is laughing at who?"
Zijian hurriedly ran over holding the hem of her skirt, holding Lutang's hand, and said anxiously: "Second sister, this powder is not mine, someone must have framed me! What are you doing to pull the eldest sister? The eldest sister can't live with us. The hospital has nothing to do with her!"
"Zi Yu, who framed you, tell the second sister, and the second sister will make the decision for you." Lutang held her cold hand and held it tightly.
"Found it! There are also red flowers in the room!"
The mother-in-law held up a packet of medicinal paper, which contained sour dried safflower.
"You framed me! You framed me! I want to ask my eldest sister to make the decision!"
Zi Qian looked at the paper bag, tried her best to throw away Lu Tang's arm, and cried loudly.
Zhang Xiaoniang went crazy, crying and cursing: "It's obviously the second girl who did the scandal, why did she frame our Zidian! You are so shameless! Poor Zidian, your second sister can't tolerate you!"
Lutang turned his head and ordered, and immediately two women went to help the young lady, half dragging and half dragging her into the house.
"The young lady is ill and can't stand the wind. Send two good women to take her to the wing to rest. Give her another dose of the eldest lady's prescription."
Zhang Xiaoniang has already begun to talk nonsense, her hands and feet are trembling, her head is shaking, and the dose of the hallucinogenic drug of Tianxianzi is almost over.
Zi Daan was still struggling desperately, but Lu Tang did not relax and suppressed her by his side.
"Missy is here! Madam is here!"
At this point, no one can escape!
