Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Concubine Xiao in shock and knelt on the ground in panic, "Please forgive me, Concubine!"
However, kneeling was a little uncomfortable, so she simply squatted secretly using the wide skirt, and couldn't help praising Concubine Xiao's good acting skills in her heart.
Concubine Xiao acted so realistically just now that if Lu Xiaoxiao hadn't noticed that she secretly winked at her, she would have really thought that Concubine Xiao wanted to use this opportunity to beat her up.
[I didn’t expect that the concubine and I have such a good understanding~]
[That’s good now. With the concubine sister holding them back, no matter what the Lu family wants to do, they probably won’t have the chance to do it~]
Lu Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted. When the Lu family members were not noticing, she secretly winked at Concubine Xiao and said silently: Sister, let the guards take me out quickly.
Concubine Xiao: "..."
Seeing such a clever and eccentric sister Lu, Concubine Xiao almost couldn't help laughing out loud. She quickly looked away and ordered the guards beside her with a stern face: "Why don't you take Lu Liangyuan out quickly!?"
As she spoke, Concubine Xiao gave Qingcong a look without leaving any trace, "Qingcong, go outside and watch. I want to hear her screams today."
Qingcong understood and hesitated for a moment before nodding.
Bai Zhi thought that Concubine Xiao was really going to punish her master. She panicked and quickly knelt on the ground begging for mercy, "Please forgive my master, Concubine. I am willing to bear the punishment for my master!"
"Please, Concubine!"
Seeing Bai Zhi constantly kowtowing to Concubine Xiao, and not caring even though her forehead turned red, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt distressed and looked at Concubine Xiao anxiously.
[What a silly girl! I had clearly told her when she came here that she should act according to circumstances and not move without my instructions. But now, she is still scared...]
[Sister Concubine, hurry up, take her out too! ]
"..."
Concubine Xiao did not expect that Sister Lu was so soft-hearted. If it were not for her support, this big drama would not be able to go on.
Concubine Xiao waved her hand and said impatiently, "Take this maid out as well. Don't disturb my peace!"
"Yes!"
Before he finished speaking, four guards strode forward and took Lu Xiaoxiao and Bai Zhi out.
Qingcong hurriedly followed, fearing that the guards would really torture Lu Liangyuan.
The lobby suddenly became quiet.
As soon as Qingcong left, Mother Lu collapsed to the ground. Her face was swollen like a pig's head, and her eyes were squinted and she could hardly open them.
There was blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he looked miserable and unbearable to look at.
Father Lu rushed over and held Mother Lu, and cried out, "Madam, how are you?"
Mother Lu opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Father Lu's face changed slightly, and he burst into tears: "Madam, please don't die. If you die, what's the point of me living alone!"
"This is too much, it's really too much!"
"Mom! Mom! Please open your eyes and look at your son!"
Lu Dabao also rushed over. The two Lu sisters exchanged glances quickly and burst into tears: "Mom, how could you die in the prince's mansion!"
"If my sister knew that my mother was killed because of her, how could she still have the face to stay in the Prince's Mansion and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future!"
Mother Lu: ……?
No, she felt she could still be saved!
Concubine Xiao, who was sitting at the top, seemed not to hear the wailing of the Lu family. She slowly picked up the teacup and raised her voice, "Why haven't I heard Lu Liangyuan's screams yet? Could it be that you didn't go easy on her?"
"what--"
As soon as he finished speaking, a shrill scream was heard outside.
"Ahhh-"
The screams became more and more shrill. Concubine Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said meaningfully: "It seems that the guards outside are not lazy."
"!!!"
The Lu family members present were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies tensed up.
Lu Dabao's eyes rolled around and he stopped howling. He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two sisters of the Lu family were also stunned and dared not say a word.
Mother Lu's face was filled with fear. She huddled in Father Lu's arms and could no longer act arrogantly.
Father Lu was also afraid, and at this moment he just pretended to be calm: "My Lady Concubine, this... this is probably not a good idea, right?"
Wrong, wrong, all wrong!
Father Lu didn't know what went wrong for a moment. Why was what he saw with his own eyes today different from what that person said?
That person had clearly told him that Lu Xiaoxiao was now a favorite of the Crown Prince, and as long as he could successfully bring Lu Xiaoxiao back to the Lu family, he would be able to get what he wanted...
Thinking of this, Father Lu gritted his teeth and said, "My daughter just said a word of begging for mercy, and she will be caned. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew about it..."
Concubine Xiao interrupted Father Lu coldly: "You want to use your highness to suppress me?"
"What a pity, His Highness is not in the mansion today and cannot save your good daughter."
"And you!"
Father Lu shuddered subconsciously.
Concubine Xiao laughed sarcastically: "Don't think that you can come to the Crown Prince's Mansion to ask for benefits just because you have a concubine in your family. As long as I am here, no matter what you want, I will never allow it!"
"Be sensible and leave the Prince's Mansion immediately, otherwise——"
"I am willing to let you have a taste of what it feels like to be caned in the Crown Prince's Mansion!"
"Come here, see the guests off!"
Lu Family:? ? ?
They couldn't even utter a word of rebuttal before they were immediately driven out of the Prince's Mansion by several guards.
The five people from the Lu family stood in front of the Prince's Mansion, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Father Lu was a little anxious: "Son, what should we do now? We took the money, but we messed up what that person asked us to do. What if that person comes to us and asks us to return the money..."
"Dad, let me think about it carefully first."
Lu Dabao took a deep breath.
What happened today was really beyond Lu Dabao's expectations. He was the one who arranged this matter in the first place, but in order to pay off his gambling debts, he had no other choice but to make some money.
Anyway, that little girl Lu Xiaoxiao has been annoying since she was a child. This time, she has Concubine Shu's support, so he can't sell her out. Since there is no room for that little girl in the Prince's Mansion now, he might as well let her earn some money to spend!
Father Lu knew that his son was smart and had the most ideas since he was young, so he would listen to his son and said, "Okay, think about it carefully. The money is already in our hands, and I can't bear to give it away."
Thinking that the huge sum of money might not be his soon, Father Lu felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
Lu Dabao was also reluctant.
He turned his eyes and looked at Mother Lu with a shrewd look, as if he had figured something out in an instant, "Dad, I know what to do. Let's go back and discuss it."
"This time, that stinky girl Lu Xiaoxiao will definitely come back!"
Lu Dabao said with confidence.
Father Lu's eyes lit up: "Are you serious?"
Lu Dabao nodded without hesitation: "This method will definitely work!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go back first!"
Now that he had another solution, Father Lu decided not to linger any longer in front of the Prince's Mansion. He hurried home with his wife, son and daughter.
……
On the other side, the Prince's Mansion.
Concubine Xiao had no idea what tricks the Lu family had come up with to deceive Lu Xiaoxiao. She was a little worried about Lu Xiaoxiao, so she quickly walked out of the lobby and entered the side room where the execution was taking place.
"Sister Lu——"
The worried voice suddenly stopped.
The corners of Concubine Xiao's mouth twitched, and her expression was a little complicated.
Concubine Xiao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in a rocking chair, flipping through a storybook and eating watermelon. How could there be any panic expression on her palm-sized face?
It's clearly very leisurely and comfortable!
Baizhi and Qingcong were sitting together. Before Concubine Xiao came in, the two of them were very diligent in shouting out shrill screams. The two of them were competing with each other, as if they were trying to see who could shout louder.
Four guards stood by with expressionless faces, constantly beating the ground with their court sticks.
Concubine Xiao was speechless: "..." It seemed that all her worries were unnecessary.
Sensing someone's gaze on her, Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously closed the notebook in her hand, raised her eyes and suddenly her almond eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Sister Concubine, you're here!"
"Have all the Lu family members left?"
Lu Xiaoxiao stood up, walked quickly to Concubine Xiao's side, and praised her as soon as she opened her mouth: "Thanks to Concubine Xiao's good acting skills, I don't have to face those people."
"You! You just take advantage of the fact that I love you!"
Concubine Xiao pinched Lu Xiaoxiao's cheek helplessly.
Concubine Xiao truly regarded Lu Xiaoxiao as her own sister, which was why she wanted to make things difficult for the Lu family after hearing her thoughts in order to vent her anger.
If it were someone else, she wouldn't bother to even bother with the other person.
Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes, a smile in her eyes, her mouth was as if covered with honey, "I know that Concubine Sister is the best!"
Concubine Xiao snorted: "Better than His Highness?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Lu Xiaoxiao pretended to have a sore throat and coughed lightly, then quickly changed the subject: "Sister Concubine, do you want to eat some watermelon? The housekeeper just brought it over. The Queen specially sent someone to bring two big watermelons for us to try."
"Then I'll try it too."
Concubine Xiao knew in her heart that in Lu Xiaoxiao's heart, she was not as good as His Highness at all.
She asked that question just now just to tease Sister Lu.
Lu Xiaoxiao happily gave a piece of the sweetest watermelon to Concubine Xiao.
Then, she picked up another piece, lowered her head and took a bite. It was so sweet that Lu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "It's delicious!"
Concubine Xiao also took a bite and found it was indeed delicious and sweet, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Lu Xiaoxiao quietly observed the concubine's expression, and seeing that she was very satisfied with the meal, she asked again: "Concubine, do you know why those Lu family members came to the Crown Prince's Mansion just now?"
Hearing this, Concubine Xiao frowned slightly, "I forgot to ask. If Sister Lu wants to know, I will send someone to inquire."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said mysteriously, "No need to send anyone to inquire. I already knew it a long time ago."
Concubine Xiao:?
After a pause, Concubine Xiao reacted instantly. Oh, she almost forgot that Sister Lu knew more than she thought.
After the four guards left, Concubine Xiao asked curiously, "Sister Lu, what exactly do the Lu family want to do?"
"They are trying to trick me into going back to the Lu family."
When the concubine was being "beaten with a stick", Lu Xiaoxiao had already read the plot about the Lu family in the system.
The Lu family members are not good people, so she naturally knows that she should be more cautious.
"Tricked you into returning to the Lu family?"
Concubine Xiao was speechless. "Now that you have entered the prince's residence and become the prince's concubine, you cannot return to the Lu family without His Highness's permission."
"I don't think those Lu family members are stupid. How could they not know about this?"
"They can't possibly think of going against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, right?"
"Who knows?"
Lu Xiaoxiao said calmly, "Someone gave them 10,000 taels of silver and told me to leave the Prince's Mansion and return to the Lu family within three days."
"They were reluctant to return the silver, so they had to find a way to trick me into giving it back."
"There is such a thing!"
Concubine Xiao said angrily: "I shouldn't have let them go so easily just now!"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Sister Concubine, you don't have to get angry because of those people. I have already experienced their coldness. What's more, my brother has a gambling debt again and he needs money."
Concubine Xiao's eyes darkened, "Those people are not worthy of being Sister Lu's relatives!"
Lu Xiaoxiao sighed softly.
She was not her original self and had never thought about becoming a member of the Lu family.
"Don't be angry, Concubine Sister. They are just some people you don't need to care about."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with a distressed look on her face. She took her hand and said gently, "Sister Lu, you don't have to be afraid of those Lu family members because I will support you from now on!"
Lu Xiaoxiao: ...She is not afraid at all.
But Lu Xiaoxiao was still somewhat happy to hear Concubine Xiao's words, "Then I'll have to trouble Concubine Sister to support me in the future."
Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "That's natural."
"correct."
Concubine Xiao suddenly remembered what Lu Xiaoxiao had said just now. She quickly grabbed Lu Xiaoxiao's sleeve again and said, "Sister Lu, you just said that someone made a deal with the Lu family?"
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded: "Yes."
Concubine Xiao frowned: "Sister Lu, do you know who that person is?"
"do not know."
Lu Xiaoxiao answered honestly: "Every time that person went to see my father, he not only wore a mask, but also covered his face with a black cloth, so that people couldn't see his face clearly."
"My father doesn't know who the other party is either."
"That's a bit of a pity."
Concubine Xiao originally thought that Sister Lu already knew who wanted to attack her, so she planned to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this and let him find the person directly...
"It doesn't matter."
Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head: "The person hiding behind the scenes will show up sooner or later, Concubine sister, don't worry about this matter for now. When His Highness comes back, I will mention it to His Highness and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on those people in the Lu family."
Concubine Xiao hummed: "That's good, then I can rest assured."
