Xiao Shuyi didn't know where Lu Fengyi got the news. It was also possible that the master behind Lu Fengyi received the news first and then passed it on to her.
She couldn't tell whether the news was true or false, but the second brother's purchase of the drug store yesterday was true.
When she thought that her second brother was likely to be imprisoned, and might also implicate the Xiao family and His Highness, Xiao Shuyi couldn't stand in an instant.
[No, no, the time is not right. This life-related matter will not break out until Xiao Yunhe’s medicinal shop sells another batch of medicinal materials half a month later]
[The Xiao family should not know about this so soon]
[Then what exactly made Concubine Xiao feel so bad...]
Xiao Shuyi suddenly grabbed Qing Cong's wrist, her face darkened and her heart tightened a little bit.
If it was as Lu Fengyi said, the matter was exposed after half a month, it would involve eight lives. Once someone was secretly operating behind the scenes, the entire Xiao family would be dragged into the water...
And the Xiao family is her natal family, so maybe the people behind the scenes will point the finger at His Highness!
Qing Cong's hand hurt from being pinched, but she didn't dare to take it back. She looked at her master with a worried look on her face and said softly: "Your Majesty?"
Xiao Shuyi came to her senses.
She took a deep breath and let go of Qing Cong's hand: "Qing Cong, first go to Xiao's house to send a message."
She had brought Qing Cong from the Xiao family, and she had a steady temperament. If she was asked to go back and deliver the message, she would definitely not attract the attention of others.
Qing Cong nodded.
Because Lu Fengyi was still there, Xiao Shuyi deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Just say that His Highness has something important to discuss with him. Don't make it too public."
The Xiao family is just an imperial businessman, with wealth but no power. If someone really wants to use this to murder his second brother, then His Highness the Crown Prince will definitely be able to find out things that even the Xiao family cannot find out.
This time, she could only ask His Highness.
Seeing that her master's face was quite solemn, Qing Cong didn't dare to delay, so she said yes and hurriedly turned around and left.
Looking at her leaving figure, Xiao Shuyi sighed: "I hope it's not too late."
[Strange, why did Concubine Xiao’s maid suddenly run away]
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it.
But when she saw Concubine Xiao, she still stood in front and refused to move. It was like a big mountain pressing down on her, and she couldn't move.
Mu Qing was still standing by, probably waiting for her to enter the house before he would return to His Highness.
Lu Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and called out "Mu Qing" in a low voice.
Mu Qing tilted his head and looked at her in surprise.
Lu Xiaoxiao said almost in a breathy voice: "Can you take me to the outside of the abandoned courtyard where there was a dog cave before?"
She doesn't know her way around.
[I don’t know how long Concubine Xiao will stand outside, so I might as well go into the house through a dog hole! Anyway, I got out of it through a dog hole]
[There is a beginning and an end, and it is not difficult to dig deeper]
Xiao Shuyi: "..." Digging into a dog hole, right?
As soon as she entered the house later, she sent people to the deserted courtyard to fill in the dog holes there!
"Lu Fengyi!"
Just as Mu Qing was about to answer Lu Fengyi's words, Concubine Xiao's call came first: "Come here and go back to the house with me."
Lu Xiaoxiao:!
[Why did Concubine Xiao call me suddenly?]
[Is it because her maid ran away and asked me to be her maid? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao panicked and glared hard at Mu Qing.
Sure enough, Mu Qing has never been reliable. I don’t know why His Highness chose Mu Qing as his personal bodyguard! !
Mu Qing said without changing his expression: "Lu Fengyi, it's time to enter the house."
Lu Xiaoxiao slowly moved to Concubine Xiao, staring at her nervously, fearing that she would suddenly make things difficult for him.
As a result, Concubine Xiao glanced at her, took her hand, and walked towards the door of the mansion: "Lu Fengyi, now that you have entered the mansion to serve His Highness, as a woman who is also His Highness, from now on, you and I will be like sisters, no need to Why don't you call me Concubine? If I call you sister, you will call me sister."
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at her in shock: "Sister?"
As soon as the words came out, Concubine Xiao nodded with a smile on her lips: "After returning home, my sister will not have to go back to the deserted courtyard. From now on, you will live in Jingxiang Courtyard."
"If my sister doesn't want to stay in the courtyard, then you can often come and sit in my sister's Qingshu Courtyard..."
Jingxiang Courtyard and Qingshu Courtyard are not far apart. For a quarter of an hour back and forth, I don’t know if Lu Fengyi’s voice can reach Qingshu Courtyard...
Thinking of this, Xiao Shuyi suddenly felt that her arrangement was not good enough.
If she wasn't afraid that Lu Fengyi would think too much, she would have arranged her directly in Qingshu Courtyard.
"..."
Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned by Concubine Xiao's words.
[Strange, why is Concubine Xiao suddenly so gentle to me]
[Is this a sugar-coated bullet or a flattery? 】
Until Lu Xiaoxiao sat in the small pavilion of Jingxiang Courtyard and finished all the braised pig's trotters brought back from Zuixiang Tower, she still couldn't understand what Concubine Xiao was thinking.
"Forget it, I don't want to anymore."
If Concubine Xiao really wants to plot against her, then she will...
She can't afford to offend him, and she can afford to hide from him!
Lu Xiaoxiao picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, drank another cup of hot tea, and then shouted into the room: "Baizhi."
Bai Zhi was the maid sent by Concubine Xiao by the housekeeper. There were also three other people, Bai Shu, Chen Lu, and Chen Wu, who were all responsible for staying at Jingxiang Courtyard to serve her.
At this time, Bai Zhi and Baizhu were both in Lu Xiaoxiao's room sorting out the dowry she had brought into the house——
This dowry was originally purchased by Concubine Shu for Lu Xiaoxiao, in order to win over Lu Xiaoxiao and let her stay peacefully in the Prince's Mansion as an informant.
Hearing her master's voice, Bai Zhi walked out quickly: "Master, do you have any orders?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Bai Zhi, Chen Lu has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet. Go and have a look."
After she entered the house, she heard many maids secretly talking about the Fourth Prince and His Highness having a good time in the garden. They had already drank three jars of Qinggui wine, and even asked for wine to be sent there.
Lu Xiaoxiao was a little worried, so he asked Chen Lu to go find out the situation.
"Yes, Master."
Bai Zhi responded and was about to leave.
Bai Zhi had just left the courtyard gate when she saw Morning Dew coming in a hurry.
"Master, Chenlu is back."
"master."
Bai Zhi and Chen Lu came in together.
Chen Lu walked into the small pavilion, her round little face filled with joy. She said in a brisk tone: "Master, just now the Mu Qing guard next to His Highness sent a message to the slave, saying that His Highness asked the Master to go to the garden."
Chen Lu was shocked when guard Mu Qing found her.
However, if their master can gain His Highness's favor, then their maidservants can also be looked upon favorably by others.
Lu Xiaoxiao: "The fourth prince is still in the house?"
Chen Lu nodded.
"good."
Lu Xiaoxiao felt strange that the Fourth Prince was still here, so why would His Highness suddenly want to let her go to the garden?
But that was fine. She went to see the Fourth Prince to see if she could get some more food from him.
