Ji Mingzhu came and went in a hurry, and there were many people watching the excitement around Lu Qing.
Grandma Zhong looked sideways to the left and glanced at Jing Feng.
She knew that Jing Feng was not a peaceful person, but Lu Qing was not willing to let her defend her everywhere just yet.
"Okay, go do your work."
Jing Feng gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Tao Yu and Xue'er who had come up with the idea.
Tao Yu smiled. Who would have thought that Concubine Ji had calmed down her temper? If everyone in the house hadn't said that she had a bad temper, how could they have thought of killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Xue'er is much calmer. She is not afraid of Jing Feng. Instead, she firmly believes that as long as she finds the right opportunity, she can get rid of Lu Qing.
After the crowd dispersed, Lu Qing stood up, gently brushed the dust off her knees, and continued her work as if nothing had happened.
When making tea the next morning, Ji Qin looked at her frequently.
Lu Qing looked at him with a smile, and she said softly: "You have been more careful these days, for fear of getting into trouble."
She and Jing Feng lived together, and she more or less noticed something was wrong.
Ji Qin is a kind person. She can't bear to see Lu Qing being plotted by the other three people. She should be reminded both emotionally and rationally.
Lu Qing understood her very well: "Thank you sister Jiqin, I will pay more attention to it."
She was the most cautious person. She thought nothing would happen if she was more careful, but she didn't expect that she underestimated the malicious intentions of Jing Feng and others.
One day, she was sent by Jing Feng to go to the accounting office to collect the monthly silver from Hemingyuan, and she happened to meet the accountant's wife.
Speaking of which, she and Madam Zhang have quite a connection.
It can even be said that she chose to be a maid for the first time, because she was forced by Mrs. Zhang.
At the corner of the garden, the fat lady Zhang suddenly appeared. She grabbed Lu Qing's wrist and scolded her with a ferocious face: "You little bitch! You are unruly!"
Lu Qing has a shadow on her, and the scene in the past when Madam Zhang coaxed her into meeting her stupid son comes to mind.
"Didn't we agree that you would marry my son and serve him? How dare you become the prince's maid! Are you looking for death?"
The pain in her wrist made Lu Qing frown. When she heard her say the word "Prince", Lu Qing felt much more awake.
She struggled to throw away Mrs. Zhang's hand and said coldly: "I have never promised you anything, and I am already the prince's man!"
The only two meetings she had with her stupid son happened without her noticing. Later, Madam Zhang mentioned marriage, but Lu Qing had clearly rejected it at that time.
After the refusal, Madam Zhang changed her original amiable demeanor, and her words and actions were full of coercion and inducement, but she couldn't do it no matter what, asking Lu Qing to commit herself to a fool.
At this time, Grandma Zhong helped Yan Fuguang select the maids in the room, and Lu Qing went from the embroidery room to Hemingyuan.
"The prince's person?" Mrs. Zhang seemed to have heard a joke, "Do you think I am easy to deceive? You are just a gadget of the prince, and you are also a rag, so you dare to threaten me?"
The maid who found her had said that although Lu Qing was favored, her identity had not changed at all. From this point of view, she did not look favored.
Madam Zhang's ambitions grew because of this, and it was easy for her to take advantage of a helpless maid.
"Tell me, if I tell the prince about this, can you still be my maid?"
The greed and malice shining in Madam Zhang's eyes made Lu Qing feel sick to her stomach.
But she couldn't help but examine those words.
The rumors are hurtful. She has no value to King Jin. Is it really like what Madam Zhang said...
"What do you want?"
Madam Zhang rubbed her hands, her fat face shining with oil: "One hundred taels, give me the money and I'll let you go."
It's like a lion opening its mouth.
"I don't have a hundred taels."
"We'll find a way without you, or I'll go to the prince and accuse you of having an affair with my son."
The proud Mrs. Zhang perfectly interpreted the word "villain".
If Lu Qing was favored, she would definitely not dare to do this, but someone has told her that Lu Qing is no threat to her, so Madam Zhang decided to take advantage of it.
Who told Lu Qing not to marry her son but to marry the King of Jin?
Lu Qing clenched her fists and stared at Madam Zhang in front of her: "Your son and I have nothing, and I don't have a hundred taels to give you."
She knew that she had no face in front of Prince Jin, but Aunt Zhong was a good person, so she might help her.
Lu Qing decided to take a gamble because she didn't want Lady Zhang to succeed.
Madam Zhang sneered: "The wings are stiff, then you just wait."
According to the previous agreement, if Lu Qing disagreed, she would report it to Prince Jin. Although she could not get any money, she could still vent her anger.
Madam Zhang ran to Hemingyuan.
Lu Qing followed closely behind. After much thought, she still believed that if she was upright, she would not be afraid of the shadow. If Madam Zhang took advantage of her this time, according to her greedy and excessive temper, there would be a next time, and a next time.
Compared with the difficulties he might fall into, Lu Qing could not tolerate being bullied by such people.
She moved quickly and arrived at Hemingyuan ahead of Mrs. Zhang.
Yan Fuguang was having dinner, and Aunt Zhong didn't go in to wait on her. She stood under the verandah and frowned when she saw Lu Qing walking in a hurry.
Lu Qing knelt down and kowtowed in front of Grandma Zhong, and said sincerely: "I beg Grandma to make the decision for me."
"What happened?"
Before she had time to describe Madam Zhang's evil deeds, Madam Zhang started crying at the gate of Hemingyuan.
"Ouch! Please let the prince make the decision for me! Lu Qing from Hemingyuan bullies me even though I am not the master! My husband has worked hard for the prince in the counting house for many years..."
Grandma Zhong had a dark face. Just as she was about to go around Lu Qing to see who was making the noise outside, Yan Fuguang, who was eating inside, put down his chopsticks.
A tall and straight figure appeared under the verandah, and the eunuchs and maids knelt down one after another.
"Your Majesty."
A chill ran down Lu Qing's spine and she didn't dare to raise her head.
Grandma Zhong looked at the door of the courtyard and stepped forward to report: "Someone is making a noise here. I will let someone deal with it right now."
Yan Fuguang nodded indifferently, and stepped forward to go to the study room to work.
Tao Yu spoke eagerly: "I seem to have heard that the man had a conflict with Lu Qing. I think it was a serious matter that brought it to the attention of the prince. Would you like to hear it, prince?"
After finishing speaking, almost everyone at the scene turned their attention to the bold Taoyu.
No one dared to point fingers at Yan Fuguang or suggest that such a thing should not be done by a servant like Tao Yu.
Grandma Zhong raised her hand to slap her mouth.
Tao Yu couldn't remember the two slaps she received, so she sobbed while covering her red and swollen cheeks, and glared at Lu Qing hatefully.
She couldn't let go of the opportunity to let Lu Qing fall into hell. If she missed it this time, she didn't know when the next time would be.
"This slave wants to report that Lu Qing is having an affair with someone else and deceiving the prince!"
There was silence in Hemingyuan.
Cold sweat broke out on Lu Qing's forehead. In front of Yan Fuguang, she said as calmly as possible: "I don't know why I was framed, please make the decision."
At this time, she also reacted.
If you are going to be entangled by Madam Zhang today, the participation of Jingfeng and the other two people will definitely be indispensable.
