Chapter 162;
Unexpected
"It's all over."
Turning to look at Qiu Yuna's distressed expression, Lu Yaoyao pulled a smile from the corner of her mouth and waved her hand.
Then he turned his head and looked in the direction Xu Qingqing left, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight, interrupting her thoughts.
"Miss."
"Qiu Shuang is back? You are sweating profusely, you must be exhausted."
"Come here quickly and have a rest."
As Lu Yaoyao spoke, he ordered Qiu Yu to go to the kitchen and ask someone to prepare food.
"Have you found the source?"
"This slave is incompetent."
Qiu Shuang lowered her head in shame.
Although Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised by this, it was expected.
"I don't blame you. Maybe I'm overthinking it. There were a lot of people present that day. Maybe those rumors are just idle speculations made by some of them."
"Although I haven't found the source, I still found a few people who were adding fuel to the flames because those rumors spread so fast."
"oh?"
Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "How many families are there? Tell me, who are there?"
"The ones who jumped the most were the Lin family."
"Is that the Lin family behind the eldest princess's consort?"
Qiu Shuang nodded.
This was an unexpected person. She had never interacted with the Lin family. If she had, it was because of the strong drink.
Unexpectedly, just because of this, the Lin family would actually make her feel uncomfortable behind her back, which was really a bit domineering.
"Then there are Lin Jinyan, the eldest son of Yiyongbo Mansion, and some of his classmates and friends in the Imperial College."
"This is to be expected."
Lu Yaoyao was not surprised. Earl Yiyong's mansion had suffered such a big loss. It would be abnormal if there was no response at all. Even if he couldn't blatantly target her, just adding fuel to the fire later would still be considered as venting his anger, right?
"What else?"
"The Wei family and the He family are both members of the Gao family."
"I know this Wei family."
At the banquet at Princess Dachang's mansion, Wei Chan'er jumped up and down very fiercely. Later, Emperor Hongwen took care of her and her status dropped a bit.
It's not surprising that he would target her.
"What's going on with the He family?"
There are quite a few people in the capital who belong to the Gao family. Among so many people, it’s okay for the Wei family to cause trouble for her. After all, they have had troubles before. What does the He family mean?
"The He family and the Wei family are related by marriage. The head of the He family is called He Yunzhi, and he is currently the supervisory censor."
"We are related by marriage to the Wei family? That makes sense."
Lu Yaoyao nodded.
"Any more?"
"And there is the eldest prince."
At that time, when she found out that the eldest prince was behind it, Qiu Shuang was very surprised and carefully checked again and again.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she couldn't figure out what was going on.
You must know that they have no enmity with the eldest prince. On the contrary, when they first entered the capital, the eldest prince had always declared that Lu Yaoyao was her savior.
And he also helped Lu Yaoyao many times.
Why is it that the eldest prince wants to do this?
"This is a bit unexpected."
Although Lu Yaoyao was a little surprised, he felt relieved after thinking about it.
When the Lu family was in crisis last time, she originally wanted to ask the eldest prince to bring something as a donation, so as to lend his hand to help the Lu family.
As a result, the other party avoided seeing her, and the friendship they had in the past was completely severed.
I originally thought that even if they were strangers, there would be no conflict of interest between the two parties, and they should be able to keep their distance from each other.
I never thought that he would be involved in this matter.
"Miss, don't we have some friendship with the eldest prince? How could he do that?"
"It's broken. When the Lu family was in crisis last time, I looked for him, but he avoided seeing me. Later, when I entered the palace, I bumped into him, and we had some unpleasant verbal exchanges."
Back then, Qiu Shuang was busy with matters at home. This time when he went in and out of the palace, all the people following Lu Yaoyao were Qiu Yu.
Therefore, she did not know that Lu Yaoyao and the eldest prince had parted ways.
Hearing her say this, Qiu Shuang's doubts were relieved, but there was some dissatisfaction on her face.
"Originally, I thought this eldest prince was a nice person, but now it seems that he is nothing more than that."
"Thankfully, Miss, you asked Divine Doctor Lin to save him, but now he stabs him in the back. It's really ungrateful."
Listening to her indignant words, Lu Yaoyao waved his hand.
"This is the most ruthless imperial family. The royal family is always good at pretending. There have never been many people worth making friends with. There is no need for you to be angry."
"What about His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "He is one of those people worth making friends with."
Since Prince Jin got to know him, he has helped him many times. She is still grateful and regards him as one of her few friends.
"Any more?"
Qiu Shuang shook his head.
"Miss, do you want to continue investigating this matter?"
"No need, let them make trouble. If they want to talk, let them talk. Anyway, I won't lose two ounces of meat."
She never paid much attention to reputation or anything like that, and she didn't care what others said, good or bad.
"Isn't what the eldest prince did a little too much?"
"Why do you say that Xiang Jun helped him before, but what about now?"
In Prince Jin's Mansion, after Yan San learned about the rumors outside, he went to investigate. At this time, he finished reporting to Prince Jin.
I am very disdainful of the eldest prince's actions of fueling the flames behind the scenes.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who was sitting opposite, had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"When nothing happens, he is naturally willing to gain some good reputation."
"Once he is dissatisfied and dissatisfied, he will not care about friendship and friendship."
"Don't you know how many of his own people he has secretly eliminated over the years?"
Yan San curled his lips and was extremely disdainful.
"After all, half of the Wang family's blood bleeds, and there is no mercy at all for doing such ungrateful and backstabbing things."
"However, now that he has taken action, will Xiangjun be in danger?"
King Jin frowned.
Although he was very disdainful of the eldest prince's character, it was undeniable that the power behind him was extraordinary.
If he really wants to deal with Lu Yaoyao, it will indeed be a big trouble for her.
"There may be a little trouble, but what Xiangjun has in his hands now is extraordinary, and he doesn't dare to be too blatant."
"Then do you want me to go down and report to the Lord?"
King Jin did not refuse his proposal.
Not long after, Qiu Shuang received the news from Yan San.
"Miss, you are right, His Highness, Prince Jin, really has no choice but to meet each other."
"It seems that we have to be careful about this eldest prince."
Lu Yaoyao, who was leaning on the bed, heard her words, looked up at her, and said with a smile, "Why should you be careful?"
"It's just a kid's trick, there's no need to be so nervous."
