Chapter 29 ;(1/2)
Chapter 29; Shall I leave?
"Then he also has to dare?"
Indeed.
After Xu Zhao was demoted, he went to Gao's house and was not angry when he came back.
He also personally went to the main courtyard to visit Mr. Gao.
After Gao was punished yesterday, he was carried back to the mansion by his servants.
In midsummer, when you have to kneel for two hours under the scorching sun at noon, let alone a pampered lady, even a rough man has to shed a layer of skin.
Yesterday, she knelt down and suffered a big sin.
Lu Yaoyao smiled mockingly.
But as Qiu Yu said, how could Xu Zhao dare to do anything to the Gao family?
With Gao Yanming here, he would have to hold back his anger no matter how angry he was.
Unless he finds another thigh that he can rely on, just like he did with her mother.
"Miss, should we take this opportunity to give him a fatal blow?"
As soon as Qiu Yu said these words, Lu Yaoyao shook his head quickly.
"Things are not as simple as you think."
It is true that the Xu family has been hit hard during this period. It would be a big mistake to underestimate them because of this.
It was the current emperor and empress who attacked Xu Zhao and Gao this time, and it was they who despised the imperial power first.
That's why he is so passive.
If it were others, how could Xu Zhao and Gao Yanming swallow their anger like this?
"The capital will be very lively next, so let's not get involved."
Hearing this, Qiu Yu nodded in understanding.
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door outside, and both the master and the servant were startled, and turned their heads to look outside.
This is the first time someone has come to the door since entering Bichuan Yard.
The master and servant went downstairs one after another.
As soon as Lu Yaoyao arrived and sat down in the lobby on the first floor, Qiu Yu came to report.
"Why did they come to me?"
The people coming from outside are siblings Xu Qingqing and Xu Wenxuan.
"I said I came to repay the gift."
"It sounds like I want you to beg for help."
Lu Yaoyao understood instantly and laughed out loud.
"Let them go back. I don't have the ability to plead with anyone."
Qiu Yu turned around and walked out.
But after a while, I heard a quarrel coming from outside.
"You little bastard, get out of here."
Lu Yaoyao raised his eyebrows, Xu Zhao actually came too.
However, will he go out when he asks?
Obviously it's impossible, Lu Yaoyao is still sitting in the hall, as if he didn't hear the roar outside.
After a while, Qiu Yu came in, and behind her were Xu Zhao, Xu Qingqing, and a group of maids and nuns.
"You little bitch who doesn't know etiquette, I shouldn't have let you come back in the first place."
Looking at Xu Zhao, whose face was bruised, he jumped angrily.
Lu Yaoyao's face was full of ridicule.
"Then shall I go?"
The calm voice made Xu Zhao's anger stagnant.
Leave? Xu Zhao will not let her go. He and Gao have plans that have not yet been implemented.
Letting him go like this would do more harm than good to him.
Lu Yaoyao knew very well what he was planning to do. Leave? It was impossible for her to leave.
but
"Don't speak? Then take it as the default."
"Qiu Yu, don't be stunned, hurry up and pack your things, let's go back to the farm."
Qiu Yu quickly responded.
"Wait a minute."
Xu Zhao stopped him, then turned to look at Lu Yaoyao, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"You can't leave until the original agreement is completed."
Lu Yaoyao smiled sarcastically.
"If the agreement cannot be fulfilled, you will be the unlucky one. What does it have to do with me?"
"Besides, I remember that Mr. Xu went to the farm to invite me back as the eldest daughter."
"Look at my Bichuan Courtyard. Is it considered the place where the eldest daughter lives?"
"Also, it has been two or three days since I came back to the Xu Mansion, and the servants of the Xu family have not even delivered a single meal."
"Master Xu's etiquette is really good."
Xu Zhao was furious and cursed in his heart.
The person he was scolding was not his wife. He supported everything Gao did from the bottom of his heart.
"Young lady who is a legitimate daughter, it's okay to live in such a wretched place without even having a bite to eat."
"My grandfather and uncle send a lot of support every year, right?"
"Master Xu takes this money to support the second wife. Don't you feel ashamed on your face?"
Xu Zhao was so shocked by her words that his face turned livid.
"Yo? What's the fuss about?"
A surprised voice came from outside.
The sudden sound made everyone in the hall startled.
Turning around to look, Xu Zhao's eyes shrank, while Lu Yaoyao slowly stood up after seeing the person clearly.
"Wei Chen has met His Royal Highness the First Prince and His Highness Prince Jin."
"The daughter of the common people has met your two highnesses."
Lu Yaoyao also bowed and saluted.
"Miss Lu, no gifts."
Ignoring Xu Zhao who was bowing in front of him, the eldest prince looked at Lu Yaoyao with a gentle expression.
"Miss Lu, your courtyard is quite unique."
King Jin ignored Xu Zhao and walked straight past.
"It's indeed very unique. Mr. Xu and Mrs. Gao Er put a lot of thought into it."
The soft voice full of ridicule fell into Xu Zhao's ears, making his face look ugly for a while.
"Master Xu, please forgive me."
This time the eldest prince spoke slowly.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
As soon as Xu Zhao straightened up, the eldest prince's cold scolding sounded immediately.
"Xu Zhao, it seems that you take the emperor's will seriously."
Hearing this, Xu Zhao was startled and quickly knelt down.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince, why do you say this?"
"Humph, I would like to ask you, why did Your Majesty demote you to the Ministry of Rites today?"
When Xu Zhao mentioned this matter, he felt angry for a while.
