Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Chapter 45 I’ll take you back to Prime Minister Lu’s Mansion (page 12)

Jiang Xue dismissed Jiang Qibin, raised her head and asked Fu Dong, "Have you settled down, cousin?"

Fu Dong said: "I just came in and saw Xiang Lu leading Miss Cousin to the side room."

"Let Xianglu Xiangyun serve her these two days, and don't disturb her getting up tomorrow. This girl likes to sleep in, so let her sleep."

After Jiang Xue finished her instructions, a look of fatigue appeared on her face.

"My servant has just sent someone to boil hot water. Your Highness, please wait a moment. Xiaochun and I will prepare a bath for Your Highness."

Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Brother He brought you the medicine. Come and get it for me to take."

Jiang Xue took the pills and sat in the bathtub, feeling tired all over.

The medicine given by He Zhilin seemed to be very helpful for sleeping.

Jiang Xue took a bath for a while and then said she was sleepy.

Xiaochun and Fudong washed and dried her and then waited for her to sleep.

Before going to bed, Jiang Xue explained: "Ruan Yisui may come back tomorrow. If you see him, just find an inconspicuous place for him to rest for a while, and then call me over."

The two said yes, Xiaochun blew out the candles, and then left the house with Fudong.

The next morning.

As soon as Jiang Xuefu opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qiong's big blinking eyes.

Jiang Xue frowned and asked in a lazy voice, "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Lu Qiongshuang didn't have a change of clothes, so she had to put on Jiang Xue's dress, a sky-blue silk gauze chest-length skirt with wide sleeves, which made her look very awkward.

"Cousin," she stretched out her hand to help Jiang Xue stand up while tugging on her tedious sleeves, "take me out of the house to buy some clothes today. Your dress is too long. It feels awkward for me to wear it. I'm afraid of getting caught when I run." stumble."

"Didn't you used to be unable to get up without being exposed to the sun?" Jiang Xue half-leaned on the bed, "Why did you get up so early today? The bed in Gu's house is uncomfortable?"

"No," Lu Qiongshuang said frustratedly, "When I was in the East China Sea, my master would catch me to practice before dawn. I no longer have the habit of sleeping in."

She pointed to the outside of the courtyard and said, "I have been practicing outside for a long time, and I only dared to come in when the sky was getting brighter."

"It seems like your master has changed a lot of your bad habits." Jiang Xue said with a smile.

She slept very well these nights. It seemed that He Zhilin's medicine still had the effect of calming the nerves and promoting sleep.

Xiaochun and Fudong pushed open the door and entered the house, asking, "Your Highness, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Groom up for me."

Not long after, Fu Dong came into the house with hot water. Jiang Xue got out of bed and washed her face, then let Xiaochun do her makeup.

Lu Qiongshuang was bored and asked, "What does cousin do in Gu's house on weekdays?"

Jiang Xue smiled and said, "What can I do? I've only been here for a few days, and I just want to eat and sleep."

Lu Qiong said: "Wouldn't that be too boring? Why don't we go out for a walk today?"

Jiang Xue glanced at her and said lazily: "You'd better stay calm and don't cause any trouble when you go out. When the time comes, my aunt will come and tie you back, and I can't help you."

Lu Qiongshuang shouted: "I don't get into trouble every day!"

Her little face wrinkled, she walked to Jiang Xue and said pitifully: "Cousin, I really need some decent clothes."

"You think my clothes are not decent?"

"That's not the case, it's just that this dress is too gorgeous and complicated. If you put this kind of splendid dress on your cousin, she will look like a fair lady, but if you put it on me, she will look completely different."

She pointed to her simple high ponytail and said, "Look, does this match?"

Fudong and Xiaochun glanced at each other and chuckled.

Jiang Xue couldn't resist and said: "Then I will take you out - but no matter what arrangements I make later, you must obey them honestly, otherwise you can just stay in the house and embroider."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded obediently.

Fu Dong on the side also looked at Jiang Xue anxiously.

Jiang Xue said: "I know what you are thinking, so you can go out with us today."

Fudong immediately smiled and thanked him again and again.

She turned to Xiaochun and told Xiaochun: "You stay in the house and take care of the things in the backyard. If Ruan Yisui comes early, ask him to write down what he wants to report and give it to me when I come back later."

Xiaochun said yes.

Xiaochun was about to give Jiang Xue a bun when Jiang Xue said, "Just a simple hairstyle."

Not long after, Xiaochun combed Jiang Xue into a single snail bun and asked, "Does Your Highness wear a hairpin or some pearls and jade jewelry?"

Jiang Xue stretched out her hand, picked up a gold hairpin inlaid with red agate and turquoise, and handed it to Xiaochun.

On the Xiaochun hairpin, another ginger-yellow plain gauze skirt was brought for Jiang Xue to put on.

Jiang Xue twisted her head and saw Lu Qiongshuang sitting at the table with her chin in her hands, staring straight at her.

"Cousin, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Xue ignored her and only said to Fu Dong: "Let the concierge set up the car, and tell me that my cousin and I are going to Lu Xiangguo's mansion. You can find three more long curtain hats, put them away in the car."

Lu Qiongshuang exclaimed: "What? Where to go?!"

Jiang Xue smiled and said to her: "If you want to go out for a walk and don't have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to do embroidery in a short time, you can..."

"Just do as you are told..." Lu Qiongshuang muttered.

Jiang Xue nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiaochun: "Go find some appropriate gifts in my dowry and send them to the car together."

Xiaochun nodded and immediately went out to do it.

Jiang Xue said to Lu Qiongshuang: "I will take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a while. If you don't talk, I will intercede with my aunt and let you be a guest in the Gu Mansion."

Lu Qiongshuang nodded.

When the two sisters went out, Jiang Xue took Xu Chong and Gan Ning with her, as well as some guards and servants.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Prime Minister Lu's Mansion, Jiang Xue asked Xu Chong to lock the door. Not long after, a group of people came out, and the woman in the lead trotted anxiously to the front of the carriage.

"Ms. Xu, I would like to extend my greetings to Your Highness. Your Highness is here to greet you. I am sorry that my servants are not welcome from afar. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Fudong opened the car door, Jiang Xue looked over and saw the woman kneeling on the ground, saying: "Mrs. Xu, get up quickly. It turned out to be my impromptu decision. What are you guilty of?"

Lu Qiongshuang reluctantly got out of the car and reached out to help Jiang Xue get out of the car.

"Mother Xu, where is grandma?" Lu Qiongshuang asked cautiously.

Madam Xu got up from the ground, bowed her waist and smiled at Jiang Xue: "My wife is preparing in the inner hall, waiting for His Highness."

Jiang Xue smiled and said: "Then let me go in. I won't keep my aunt waiting for a long time."

Lu Qiongshuang followed Jiang Xue closely and whispered: "My cousin will have to speak for me in a while. My mother-in-law is very scary now."

Jiang Xue said calmly: "The less you talk, the less scolding you will get."

Not long after, they arrived at the inner hall.

There were several rows of servants standing outside the hall, headed by a plump and beautiful woman, wearing a purple and gold embroidered peony satin coat. She looked to be in her forties, except for her thick waist, but her face was well maintained. It was Mrs. Shen, the daughter-in-law of Lu Xiang.

"Aniang..." Lu Qiongshuang shouted in a low voice.

"Auntie is well." Jiang Xue approached and greeted her with a smile.

The woman who was glaring at Lu Qiongshuang who was hiding behind Jiang Xue immediately put on a smile, bowed slightly to Jiang Xue, and said: "I have seen Your Highness, I would like to thank Your Highness for thinking about you. Everything is fine, my wife."
