Chapter 97 The real daughter, she quit (43)

It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this!
The thoughts in Wu Jinrou's mind were complicated and chaotic, because he was so shocked that there was even a buzzing sound in his ears.

Obviously Luo Hongxin had analyzed it with her. The Wu family can be regarded as a wealthy family after all. No matter what they do, they will try their best to make people unsuspecting. There is no reason for the loss of a second daughter. Before releasing this news, they will go through a thorough investigation. It is planned, at least in the early stage, some false news will be created to confuse everyone.

How many days had she been missing since the Wang family was wiped out?It has to be said that Wu Xiuyuan really caught everyone including Luo Hongxin by surprise.

It can be said that all the plans of these people instantly came to naught with the sound of Wu Mansion's mourning.

Taking advantage of her dazed effort, Haiyao stepped forward again, stopped beside her, turned her face slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm really curious, once you completely lose the way of retreat of the Grand Scholars' Mansion, what will happen to you?" Will Mr. Luo still treat you so generously?"

To put it bluntly, what Luo Hongxin valued was Wu Xiuyuan behind Wu Jinrou. After all, relying on the title of the second daughter of the university scholar's mansion, he could successfully obtain a not-so-low rank in the harem.

This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, a pawn belonging to the prince’s faction has been placed in the harem, and on the other hand, it can tie Wu Xiuyuan’s hands and feet. Even if he doesn’t choose, the prince can no longer get close to other princes. .

"Mr. Luo has never valued me because of my identity!" Wu Jinrou also turned his head, with a fierce expression, but when he spoke, he was a bit weak for no reason.

It must be so, she tried to comfort herself in her heart, Luo Hongxin treats her differently from others because she is smart, witty, and can do what the other ladies can't, not because of the name of the daughter of a scholar named Lao Shizi!
What if you don't rely on the Wu Mansion?It is not without precedent in history that a court lady finally became a favorite concubine, and seeing that there is no hope for her to regain her identity, maybe Luo Hongxin will cherish her more and more, and simply take her back to the Luo Mansion.

Right now, she is no longer delusional about being able to be a legal wife and accompany her side by her side, even if she is a concubine, she is willing to do so.

"Okay, since you're so confident, I'll wait and see, sister Jinrou..." Haiyao paused tactically when she said this, with an apologetic expression on her face: "I'm sorry, from now on I am afraid that there will be no such person as Wu Jinrou in the world in the future, so what should I call you?"

Wu Jinrou's face flushed red, her teeth bit her lower lip tightly, the humiliation in her heart almost overwhelmed her at this moment, even though her mouth was already filled with the smell of blood, she seemed unaware .

No matter how Haiyao asked, she didn't say a word, it seemed that it was her last stubbornness and counterattack.

But at this time, another palace lady in palace attire ran back from a distance, and after seeing Wu Jinrou standing here, she called out from a distance: "Qiaoyan! Why are you still here, mama?" I lost my temper, you are not fast..."

When the court lady came close, she found Haiyao's figure beside her, she hurriedly stopped, and said respectfully, "My lord."

"No problem." Haiyao smiled lightly, and immediately turned her gaze back to Wu Jinrou: "So your name is Qiaoyan, and you really live up to your name, and your appearance is as nimble as a swallow flying in the air, and you are so irritating." People like it, since the mother calls you, go quickly, so as not to be punished later."

The word "Qiaoyan" was bitten very hard by her, and the ironic meaning in it directly made Wu Jinrou's face completely pale, and her thin body became more and more crumbling.

Just at this time, Lu Xiangxiang walked along the gravel road from the direction of Concubine Chen's residence, and saw someone moving here from a long distance, so he called out 'sister Yao' at the top of his voice.

Haiyao agreed, and finally took a deep look at Wu Jinrou who seemed to have lost her soul, turned around and left.

When she met Lu Xiangxiang, the girl looked curiously at the figure in the garden who was still standing there, but because the distance was too far, she couldn't see the palace man's face clearly.

She could only ask curiously: "Sister Yao, were you talking to someone over there just now?"

"Oh, I just happened to meet a few court ladies who came to pick the petals, and one of them accidentally dropped the bamboo basket full of petals on the ground, so I went up and asked a few words." Haiyao replied calmly light.

Lu Xiangxiang didn't doubt that there was him, so he turned around and continued chatting about some interesting things he had encountered in the palace before. Because of her lively and cute expression, she didn't feel boring.

Soon, the two walked out of the inner palace gate, and returned to the long dark and suffocating green brick road with high palace walls on both sides.

Not long after walking forward, I saw a few blurred figures in front of me. When I got closer, I could vaguely hear the slightly hurried footsteps of those people.

In just a few breaths, the two collided head-on, and after seeing the face of the leader on the opposite side, Haiyao and Lu Xiangxiang both slightly bent their knees: "Mr. Luo."

When he said this title, Lu Xiangxiang wrinkled his nose in displeasure. Because of Lu Chengen's relationship, even she didn't like the descendants of civil servants in Beijing, and she was full of benevolence and righteousness towards them. The false appearance of morality is very sniffy.

"Miss Lu, Miss Wu." Luo Hongxin arched his hands gracefully, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his handsome face like the breeze and bright moon: "Why is Miss Wu in the palace? Just now I heard that the mansion seems to be Is there a funeral?"

Haiyao's face immediately changed when she heard the words, her reaction at this moment was very natural, and no one could notice anything strange: "What?"

"What's wrong? Miss Wu doesn't know yet?" Luo Hongxin was also taken aback.

"Miss Lu and I entered the palace together at that time. At that time, the second younger sister was still..." Haiyao said this, as if she suddenly realized that she had slipped her mouth, and quickly stopped talking, just turned her body and looked anxious. : "Miss Lu..."

Lu Xiangxiang was also really taken aback, and hurriedly comforted when he saw this: "Sister Yao, don't worry, our carriage should have been guarded outside the door, and I will order the driver to hurry up."

After saying that, the girl stretched out her hand to hold Haiyao and hurriedly rushed towards the outer palace gate.

It's a pity that when we got there, there was no sign of the carriage of the Duke's Mansion. Lu Xiangxiang was a quick-tempered person, and after a few words of advice, he went out with his maid to investigate the situation, leaving only Haiyao and Chunxi in the palace. inside the door.

Fortunately, the palace wall here blocks the sun very much, which saves me from the pain of being scorched by the midsummer sun.

At this moment, rhythmic footsteps sounded from behind, but Haiyao didn't turn her head and kept her original posture until Luo Hongxin stopped a meter away and stood side by side with her.

"I also know the second lady in the house. What happened today is a bit sudden." The already powerful young man said lightly. Disrupted exasperation again.

Haiyao pretended to hold the handkerchief and wiped away the tears that did not exist in the corners of her eyes: "Second sister has not been well since that day when she came back from praying at Shanyuan Temple. Mother thought she was scared, so she not only called the doctor, but also invited a Many masters came to the house to help her and drive away evil spirits."

"Because of the second sister's sudden illness, the family has long been in chaos, but no matter what methods have been exhausted, the second sister is still confused all day long."

"Before I went out this morning, I sent someone to ask in the second sister's yard. They said that she was in good condition. Who would have thought that it would be just two hours..." When she said this, she bowed her head and sobbed twice. .

"Miss Wu, I would like to express my condolences." Luo Hongxin comforted her, but there was not much sincerity in it.

After all, both of them knew that Wu Jinrou was in the palace, and it was just that they hadn't pierced the hypocrisy of each other at the moment, so they could only come and go, constantly probing.

Haiyao nodded slightly, and replied very politely: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your concern."

"Master Wu and Mrs. Wu must be deeply saddened by the fact that something happened to the second miss. Fortunately, there is still Miss Wu who can accompany them." Luo Hongxin said, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his eyes: "Words Then again, Luo didn't mean to offend, but I just heard that Miss Wu grew up in the countryside?"

"indeed."

"It's fortunate that Miss Wu can still learn such a good piano skill in such an environment." Luo Hongxin seemed to have something in his words, and then changed the topic: "This is not the only thing that Miss Wu surprised me. , the most recent fire in the city is Ruxiangfang..."

Haiyao is not surprised that the other party can know this, she dares to bet that the lies Wu Xiuyuan and Zhao have been declaring that she grew up in her old parents will not be able to hide the lies from some people in Beijing, and everyone just can't see through it. To put it bluntly, it's all about maintaining each other's decency.

"It's just a place that sells rouge and gouache. It can't compare to Zhang Heji. Those golden hairpins and beautiful jade always make me linger." Haiyao stabbed back indifferently.

She is no longer the baseless Wu Haiyao who was at the mercy of others a few months ago. If anyone still wants to take advantage of her, they have to be prepared to be bitten off by her back.

"Heh..." Luo Hongxin suddenly laughed in a low voice, then turned around for the first time, and looked seriously at the person in front of him.

It's just that she has just reached the age of Ji, after a period of careful raising, compared to the previous time by the lakeside of Minghu Lake, Haiyao's whole body is visibly healthy to the naked eye.

A standard beauty face, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, big almond eyes and a small nose and mouth, delicate and beautiful but without losing the aura between the eyebrows and eyes, she is indeed a rare person in Beijing who has both brains and appearance Miss Noble.

Luo Hongxin opened his mouth again: "Miss Wu is a person whom Luo really appreciates, and since I saw Miss's piano skills at the shore of Minghu Lake that day, it is inevitable that some friendship will arise."

Hearing this, Haiyao glanced at him as if she had seen a ghost, and even raised her leg and took a big step to the side, with the words 'Don't hit me' written all over her face.

"It's a pity that I don't appreciate Mr. Luo's personality, so it's better to treat it as a stranger when we meet in the future."

"..."

Luo Hongxin: I really thought it was possible to be straightforward, but I didn't expect it to be so straightforward.

Sure enough, as soon as Haiyao said this, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became awkward.
