Chapter 136 Kidnapping Lu Zhili
Zhao Yang said in a deep voice: "He is thousands of miles away. How many people will the letter pass through? How many people will see it? You and I have no way of knowing. If we want our family to be safe and sound, the fewer people who know about Ah He's pregnancy, the less risk there is.
Su He also had the same idea.
But what she really wanted was to protect Lu Huaihe from being threatened.
"Yes……"
Nanny Tang realized it later and agreed cautiously.
After reading the letter, Su He sat in the bedroom for a while before getting up and returning to Tingxue Garden.
Qingyun had been waiting outside the courtyard early. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly reported everything to her.
"That guy was so strong that he actually broke the door open from the inside? I was so angry that I bought three more locks and added them to the outside. Now he can't run away."
Listening to his vivid description, Pei Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "I didn't expect you to have a talent for being a villain?"
"I am gifted and can play both the good and bad roles."
Pei Xia glanced at him and said, "I gave you a date and you really thought it was icing? If you dare to be a bad person, I'll see if the adults will break your legs!"
Qingyun chuckled: "I dare not do anything reckless when an adult is here."
Listening to the bickering between people around her, Su He smiled.
"You two seem like a pair of bickering lovers."
Pei Xia blushed and said immediately: "Miss, please stop joking!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."
After the joke, Su He reminded Qingyun a few more times, asking him to keep an eye on Lu Zhili. She didn't like the sight of blood, so she planned to torture him in a very quiet way.
Guo Mansion.
The servant who had been waiting outside for a whole day finally returned home.
Hua was waiting anxiously. When she saw him, she looked behind her and saw that there was no one there. She asked hurriedly, "Where is he?"
The servant was also helpless, waving his hands and explaining: "I waited for a whole day at the place you said, and many people came and went, but I didn't see the second young master Lu! Later, I secretly went to the Lu family to inquire, only to find out that he was not at home. He also said that he left early in the morning, and I didn't know where he went."
"He clearly made an appointment with us, how could he break it?"
"I don't know either... Could it be that the second young master of the Lu family was playing a trick on us before?" The servant was sure that he had not moved a step from where he was. Even though he wanted to urinate, he kept holding it in, so he indeed didn't see anyone.
Fahrenheit hesitated.
There was no need to say that Lu Zhili was deliberately playing tricks on her. The Guo family could easily find a reason to get him killed. Why take such a risk? Besides, the secrets of the Lu Mansion that he told in order to gain her trust were most likely true after verification.
If Lu Huaihe and the eldest princess really did something that threatened the interests of the Guo family or Queen Guo, they could still use this as a threat.
Hua had a strong temper throughout her life, was shrewd and conceited, and especially wanted to show off her cleverness in front of her husband and Queen Guo, so she gave Lu Zhili a very warm reception after he found her.
Now the person has disappeared?
Hua ordered, "Send someone to guard the Lu family. If there is still no news about Lu Zhili, then he really played a trick on me. Then I will have to make him pay."
The servant nodded in agreement.
In a villa outside Beijing.
Lu Zhili was kept in a pen like an animal, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the pen.
After the food was finished, someone would bring new food every now and then.
He asked the man a question, but no one answered.
In short, everything is quiet.
A few days passed and it was almost New Year's Day.
Lu Huaihe sent back another letter, which outlined the general situation of his investigation, and personally distributed the disaster relief money to the victims. According to the method proposed by Su He, the plague in some areas was well controlled, and the number of patients decreased day by day. The doctors who accompanied him also played a great role.
When the letter arrived, the rumor spread all the way back to the capital. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded Li Yuan with many treasures. He also personally set up a banquet on the Yuhua Terrace in the Purple Gold Palace and invited Zhaoyang and Suhe to join him.
Upon hearing the news of entering the palace, Su He looked heavy-hearted and it was obvious that he didn't want to get involved.
On the day of the banquet, Su He wanted to decline the banquet on the pretext of feeling unwell, but unexpectedly Empress Guo's personal maid Liu Guang came to Tingxue Garden in person to deliver a message.
"If Madam is feeling unwell, there are many skilled imperial doctors in the palace. If you don't go, who can bear the consequences if something happens to her body?"
These words were full of sarcasm. It happened that Nanny Tang brought ginseng soup to Su He at the appointed time every day. Upon hearing these words, she put the food box in her hand on the table with a clatter. She didn't care who the master in front of her was, and just kept on saying, "Which noble lady came to invite me personally? It turns out that I am just a servant? What? Do you think that you have been a maid for a few years and served the master for a few years, so you think you are the master too? Don't you take a piss and look at yourself? My young lady was carefully married to me by the adults. She was brought back by our eldest princess who prayed to the Buddha for her blessing day and night. How dare you, a lowly maid, say that you are not responsible for your body damage in the eldest princess's mansion? Ugh!"
"You are such an rude old lady. I am just..."
"Who cares what you are?"
Liu Guang's face turned red with anger. "I am the head maid of the Queen! If you speak rudely, I will tell the Queen!"
It would have been better if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned Empress Guo, Nanny Tang became more energetic with her hands on her hips, and glanced at Liuguang from head to toe with contempt.
"So, when I was young, I served the emperor. Later, when the princess got married, the emperor saw that I did a good job and asked me to serve her. Now that the princess has a daughter-in-law, he asked me to take care of the young lady. According to what you said, can't I complain to the emperor?"
"You! You are clearly making trouble!"
Nanny Tang said, "Since I am being unreasonable, you can report me to His Majesty or the Queen! For the sake of the young lady, I am willing to sacrifice my reputation in front of you! But I still want to ask you, who has the final say in the palace?"
Even if His Majesty holds a banquet, everything is still understandable.
Why is it that it doesn't work when it comes to this slut?
Since the emperor was brought up, Liuguang couldn't say anything else. She held her breath, bowed her head, and admitted her mistake to Su He.
Aunt Tang clapped her hands and said, "That's right, go and reply."
"……Yes."
As soon as Liuguang left, Nanny Tang opened the food box and brought out the still warm ginseng soup.
As she watched Su He drink it, she whispered, "The princess has already gone to the banquet, and the young lady insisted that she was not feeling well and would not go out. As long as we are in the princess's mansion, everything will be fine."
When Su He saw Liu Guang's righteous look just now, he was certain that there was something wrong with this banquet.
Maybe it wasn't the emperor's idea, but Empress Guo's.
She frowned and thought for a moment: "Will it be dangerous for mother to go?"
