Chapter 251: We'll see
Chapter 251 Let’s wait and see
Ruji nodded, "Indeed, how can ordinary people survive after being poisoned by such a serious poison as curare?"
Just as Lu Ziqin was about to speak, the porter came in and said, "Sir, the second master is here."
Lu Ziqin said with great disgust: "What did he do here?"
Gu Huayu stood up and said, "Lu Zixun has seen me, so I went to the next door to take shelter."
Lu Ziqin nodded, "If you're bored, read a book to pass the time." After saying that, he turned to Ruji and said, "Take Xiaoyu to the study."
"Master, please follow me." Ruji turned around and walked to the study.
Gu Huayu followed Ruji to the study room.
As soon as Gu Huayu left, Lu Zixun stepped into the threshold and saw Lu Ziqin lying on the bed dying, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Lu Ziqin glanced at Lu Zixun, who was carefree, and replied weakly: "Nothing, I can't die."
Looking at the person who is usually aloof and aloof and never takes him seriously, lying on the bed and letting him ridicule him. Lu Zixun's mood suddenly improved.
Walking to the bedside, Lu Zixun stretched out his feet and kicked the brocade stool, sat down, and said with a bit of schadenfreude: "How does it feel to lie down? Do you enjoy it?"
Lu Ziqin saw that he looked like a villain and said, "It's okay. Do you want to try it?"
Lu Zixun waved his hand, "Forget it, I can't enjoy this kind of blessing."
After finishing speaking, Lu Zixun turned to look at Ruxuan Rujin and said: "You guys are all good at talking and boasting. When something happens, you can't protect the master, so what use are you?"
Ruxuan and Ruji stood by the side with their hands hanging down, their eyes looking at their noses, and their noses looking at their hearts, letting Lu Zixun scold them.
Although they are people under Lu Ziqin, in the British government, Lu Zixun is the second master and the master. If they dare to talk back, they will be doing the following and being disrespectful.
Lu Zixun's eyes turned back and forth on Ruxuan Rujin and asked: "Which of you went out with Ziqin yesterday? You or you?"
Ru Yan leaned forward and said, "Back to the second master, he is the younger one. It's all my fault that the younger one didn't protect the sixth master well."
Lu Zixun stood up, shook his folding fan and walked to Ru Jin. He closed the folding fan in his hand and poked Ru Jin's shoulder with the folding fan: "Yesterday you were by Zi Qin's side, but Zi Qin was hurt. You should know What's the crime?"
Ruzhen's body swayed back and he lowered his head without saying a word.
When Lu Zixun saw that Ru Jin was silent, he raised his hand and pushed him, and said in a deep voice, "You are mute. What do I want to say to you?"
Rushi then took two steps back.
Lu Ziqin said: "Second brother, Rujin is my person."
Ru Ji bowed and said: "The young man did not protect his master well and deserves to be punished."
Lv Ziqin and Ru Jin said at the same time.
Lu Zixun ignored Lu Ziqin's stop. He had long wanted to teach these guys under Lu Ziqin. If he could take the opportunity to send these guys out, it would be perfect.
Raised his hand and slapped Ru Yan, "You still know that you are not protecting the Lord well? You..."
“Stop!” Lu Ziqin shouted loudly.
Lu Zixun raised his hand and wanted to turn it back, but when he heard Lu Ziqin's voice, he was frightened and stopped.
Ruxuan looked at Lu Ziqin and saw that Lu Ziqin was covering the wound with his hand and stopped Lu Zixun with a painful voice.
Upon seeing this, Ruxuan quickly stepped forward and helped Lu Ziqin sit up, leaning against the head of the bed.
Lu Zixun pointed at Ruju and said to Lu Ziqin: "How do you still protect such a person who doesn't protect his master well? Lu Ziqin, are you mentally ill? What will you do if you don't kill this guy with a stick?"
Lu Ziqin said slowly: "He is my person. How to deal with him is my business and has nothing to do with you."
Lu Zixun clicked his tongue several times and said: "I have seen through it all, you are just a ignorant person. I will teach you a lesson, if you are not grateful, forget it, but you still think my hand is stretched too long. I don't care about your business?"
Lu Ziqin raised his head slightly, "Forget it this time! Next time, if you reach out to my people again, try it."
After saying that, Lu Ziqin didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he said, "I'm going to take a rest. Please come back."
Lu Zixun saw Lu Ziqin's order to expel guests, and sat back on the brocade stool with a playful smile, "Isn't he just a servant? Don't be angry!
I just arrived, and we haven't even said a few words, and you drove me away. How bad it would be!
We haven't had a good conversation in a few days, so it's time to talk more today. Don't hurt the friendship between brothers for the sake of a servant. "
After Lu Zixun finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Ziqin's reply, he turned to look at Ruxuan, "I've been here for a long time, and you don't even serve me tea? There's no etiquette at all."
Ruxuan looked at Lu Ziqin and saw that Lu Ziqin was silent, so he stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Lu Zixun.
Lv Zixun took it and took a sip, and said with a sigh: "If you ask me, when a young man does things, there is no maid who is as careful and thoughtful as possible.
You should add some maids to your yard. It would be much more comfortable to have maids at your side than to serve as a servant.
Zixun, how about I have someone send you a few tomorrow? How about ensuring that you have a beautiful face and a slim figure? "
Lu Ziqin replied angrily: "No need, you can keep it for yourself."
Lu Zixun looked at Lu Ziqin, leaned forward, and whispered: "There are rumors outside that you are inhumane, but is it true?"
Lu Zixun is particularly excited today, constantly testing and challenging Lu Ziqin's bottom line. He just wants to see him get angry.
Lu Ziqin glanced at Lu Zixun and said calmly: "Do you think I will be angry because of a few shameless words from a shameless person?
If you think so, then you are wrong.
I have always laughed at the behavior of shameless people. Just like I am now, do you understand? "
Lu Zixun thought his words would anger Lu Ziqin, but he didn't expect that Lu Ziqin didn't take the bait at all.
Lv Zixun has never been as good as Lu Ziqin in terms of verbal skills.
Lu Zixun looked at Lu Ziqin's disdainful smile, his teeth itched with hatred, but he was unwilling to do so.
His eyes fell on the gauze wrapped around Lu Ziqin's chest, and he continued: "You said, you, the legitimate son of the British Duke, are you embarrassed by someone's cold arrow? You have wiped out the face of the Duke."
The legitimate son of a military general would be looked down upon if he was not proficient in martial arts. Lu Zixun thought he had touched on Lu Ziqin's pain point.
Lu Ziqin raised his eyebrows and replied: "It's really embarrassing. I'm embarrassed to stay in the Duke's Mansion, but the British Duke doesn't allow me to leave.
Otherwise, I would have followed my grandmother and the others back to Chengguo's mansion yesterday.
If you can persuade the British Duke to release me back to the Chengguo Palace, I will be grateful. "
Lu Zixun blurted out: "Lv Ziqin, do you want to lose face? Your surname is Lu, and you have been working in the Duke Chengguo's house all day long. Are you embarrassed? Don't forget, the surname of the Duke Chengguo's house is Ye."
Lu Ziqin said: "What's wrong with me? My grandmother doesn't dislike me. If you can persuade the British Duke to let me go back, how about I give you fifty thousand taels of silver?"
I know you have been short of money recently and have a lot of gambling debts. I am a brother enough to worry about your worries and think about what you want. "
Lu Zixun looked at Lu Ziqin in shock and asked in disbelief: "You asked someone to check me?"
Lu Ziqin smiled and said: "Are you in a hurry? No need to be in a hurry, I won't tell the Duke.
Also, the questions must be accurate. Check you? You think too highly of yourself.
There is no need to investigate the bad things you do outside, someone will bring them to me.
How about it? Is this a good condition? You can earn fifty thousand taels of silver just by talking. Where can you find a bargain with no capital and huge profit? "
Lu Zixun looked at Lu Ziqin in shock. He didn't listen to a word of Lu Ziqin's next words. I just thought, if Lu Ziqin knows, does his grandfather know?
If grandfather knew about it, how would he punish himself?
Also, how much does Lu Ziqin know about him? Asked: "What else do you know?"
Lu Ziqin looked at the short-tempered Lu Zixun and said calmly: "I know everything I want to know! What? Are you nervous? Are you afraid that I will tell the truth to the Duke?"
Lu Ziqin's ambiguous words made Lu Zixun even more uneasy, and he said impatiently: "Tell me, what do you really know?"
Lu Ziqin looked at Lu Zixun who was spinning around in the room and asked, "Besides gambling, what else have you done?"
Lu Zixun stopped and turned to look at Lu Ziqin, "Are you deceiving me?" After speaking, he raised his finger and pointed at Lu Zi and said: "I'm warning you, you'd better keep your mouth shut, otherwise..."
Lv Ziqin raised his head and asked, "What else? What do you want to threaten me with?"
What leverage do I have in your hands? I can make you threaten me! Ever since I was little, when have I ever been afraid of you?
Lu Zixun, please remember this for me. You are not qualified to speak loudly in front of me, and you cannot threaten me.
It is important for people to be self-aware. Understand?
The door is over there. Go back and tuck your tail between your legs and be a human being. Goodbye!
No, you'd better avoid wherever I am.
Otherwise, when I see you, I may think of what you did and I can’t help but spill the beans. Um? "
Lu Zixun stared at Lu Ziqin as if he were a stranger.
In the past, Lu Ziqin would give him the respect he deserved no matter how displeased he was.
The Lu Ziqin in front of him treated him not only with indifference but also with a bit of hostility.
Seeing that Lu Zixun was silent, Lu Ziqin asked, "What? Didn't you understand?"
Lu Zixun glanced at Lu Ziqin and said: "What are you dragging? What do you have to drag? When Prince Xian's Palace and Wang Xiang's Palace are married, and the Prince marries Miss Wang San, do you think the Prince will still care about you?"
Just because you are seeking to divorce the king because of a village girl, will the king tolerate you? There are still many days to come, let’s wait and see who laughs last. "After saying that, Lu Zixun walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Gu Huayu leaned against the door frame of the study room and looked at Lu Ziqin with a smile.
Lu Ziqin smiled and asked, "What are you standing there giggling at?"
Gu Huayu said: "The world says that Mr. Lu Liu is cold, aloof, and not good at speaking. It seems that the world has misunderstood you."
Lu Ziqin waved to Gu Huayu and said, "Xiaoyu, come here, don't stay so far away from me. I'm a patient, don't let me talk to you at the top of my lungs."
Gu Huayu came over and Ruxuan Rujin retreated outside the house consciously.
Gu Huayu asked: "The wise king wants to marry Miss Wang San?"
Lu Ziqin reached out to hold Gu Huayu's hand and said, "It should be! Do you know why the Duke sent someone to take me and my mother back to the British government?"
Gu Huayu shook her head: "I don't know! Why?"
Lu Ziqin said: "After the incident between my second uncle and Ziran, the emperor neither saw the empress nor the prince."
Gu Huayu said clearly, "So that's it. Did you enter the palace a few days ago?"
Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "I went. Your Majesty went with me, and your Majesty also went there later."
“Which position did King Xian marry Miss Wang San for?”
Lu Ziqin nodded and said, "That's right. It's none of our business, so let's not talk about it. Let's talk about something else. Did it go well for you to enter the palace today?"
At noon, the ladies who entered the palace to attend the flower party returned to each mansion one after another and told the people around them what happened in the palace.
The dispute between Princess Yanran and Wang Peiyun and Cui Xinyi was widely rumored.
Cui Shangshu's wife, Mingshi, was so angry that she was shaking with anger after hearing the maid's story. She ordered people to prepare a car and went to the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion to find her eldest sister-in-law, Cuishi.
When Mrs. Ming arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Cui was taking Wang Peiyun to complain to Mrs. Shangguan in Anfu Hall.
Hearing that Mrs. Ming was coming over, Mrs. Shangguan said to Mrs. Cui, "Go and greet her. The Prime Minister is about to leave the office, and I will not receive Mrs. Ming today."
Cui Shifu stepped down and took Wang Peiyun out of Anfu Hall.
Wang Peiyun looked back at Anfutang and asked, "Auntie, what does grandma mean? She won't leave her daughter alone, right?"
Mrs. Cui replied, "You are her granddaughter, how could she ignore you?"
Wang Peiyun said: "My aunt is here now, she must be looking for my mother for today's matter, but why doesn't my grandma see my aunt?"
Mrs. Cui looked at Wang Peiyun and said, "You can see that your aunt is here for this matter, how could your grandmother not see it?
The reason why your grandmother is missing is that she is missing.
I will talk to your aunt later. You don’t have to stay around. Go back to your own yard. Understand? "
"Why do you want to take away your daughter? Can't your daughter listen?" Wang Peiyun asked.
Mrs. Cui said: "When the adults talk, what do you children listen to?"
Wang Peiyun nodded in agreement.
The mother and daughter arrived at the second gate and welcomed Mrs. Ming to Yayuan, while Wang Peiyun returned to her own yard.
Mrs. Ming and Mrs. Cui talked together for more than half an hour, and then Mrs. Ming stood up and left.
In Anfu Hall, Mrs. Shangguan waited for Mr. Cui and Wang Peiyun to leave. She raised her head to look at the hourglass and told Aunt Yang: "When the Prime Minister returns to the house, ask someone to come and report."
Mother Yang bowed down and ordered her to go down.
Not long after, a servant came in and reported: "Old madam, the Prime Minister has returned to the house and is coming to the backyard."
Mrs. Shangguan quickly got up and walked out, "Follow me to greet the Prime Minister."
The old lady of Shangguan and her maid came to the Moon Gate. When they saw the king in official uniform, they couldn't help but be startled and stepped forward to greet him. "Master Prime Minister."
Wang Xiang nodded slightly and said warmly: "Why are you coming out? Is there something wrong?"
Old Madam Shangguan glanced at Aunt Yang, who stopped the maid and asked Madam Shangguan and Wang Xiang to go forward, while she followed at a distance with everyone.
Mrs. Shangguan didn't reply to the Prime Minister's words, but asked: "The Prime Minister came here without changing his clothes when he returned home. Is there something wrong in such a hurry?"
The Prime Minister turned his head to look at the old lady Shangguan, with a joyful expression on his brows, "Your Majesty, I will leave you here today to ask about the marriage of the three girls."
Mrs. Shangguan's eyes lit up, and she asked happily: "The wise king has gone to ask the emperor? What does the emperor mean? Are you willing to grant marriage to the wise king for our third girl?"
