After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

To some extent, Lu Kui's actions were more convenient than Chu Huan's. He didn't even find an excuse. After leaving the Forbidden Palace, he drove his extremely conspicuous black carriage and parked it in front of the gate of Xinyuan Hou in a dignified manner.

Today, he didn't use the guise of Shen Chongyan, but walked in with a swagger: "Tell Shen Chongyao that I'm here."

When the doorman saw this, he hurried to report to the second master.

Shen Chongyao came running, wiping his sweat. He saw the man standing by the door at a glance and smiled at him: "Second Master, how are you?"

Didn't we just meet? Why are you here again? Shen Chongyao complained in his heart, but his face was full of flattering smiles.

He always felt uncomfortable in front of Lu Kui, and hurriedly said, "Sir Lu, no, no. You are the superior, so it's your subordinate's turn to greet you."

Lu Kui took Shen Chongyao's hand and put it on his shoulder, then walked into the house with familiarity, saying with a smile: "At home, what's the point of talking about superiors and subordinates? Lord Shen, why are you so nervous?"

Shen Chongyao took out a handkerchief from his collar, pressed it lightly on his forehead twice, and said with a wry smile: "Please don't make fun of me. If you have any instructions, please tell me clearly."

Lu Kui smiled. He was wearing a scarlet and dazzling gold-embroidered stand-up collared gown today. The flying fish pattern on his shoulders was eye-catching, which made his master look even more cheerful. "Master Shen, do you want to stand here and talk to me?"

Shen Chongyao hurriedly escorted him into the reception hall.

Lu Kui held the teacup in one hand. His blood-soaked hands, now holding the azure-glazed porcelain cup, looked as white and slender as jade. No one would have thought that these were the hands that held knives and swords and killed people without hesitation.

He lowered his head and blew gently. The tea produced a whitish mist that swirled around his face.

"Sir Shen, I came straight to your house after coming out of His Majesty's Yuchen Palace." Lu Kui took a sip and put down the teacup.

Just one sentence made Shen Chongyao stand up nervously.

Lu Kui glanced at him and said, "I've told you, don't be nervous. Sit down." He pointed to the huanghuali armchair opposite him and said, "Before leaving the palace, His Majesty specifically told me that Shen Er is one of his own and that I can't easily bully you."

Shen Chongyao was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Did your majesty really say that?"

Lu Kui said lazily, "Your Majesty's words are golden, could they be false?"

Shen Chongyao was surprised and happy at once. He was happy that the emperor finally saw his loyalty, but he was shocked that Lu Kui came to him again and again, and it turned out that he was following the emperor's order.

He bowed with both hands, stood up quickly, and respectfully bowed, saying sincerely: "Since this is the case, whether in public or private, you are Yao's superior, so please accept my greeting."

Hearing this, Lu Kui smiled and said, "We both work for His Majesty, so why should we be so persistent in these empty formalities? Second Master is older than Lu Kui, so just call me Wenbi."

This was a rare gesture of his to show his friendliness. Shen Chongyao hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "Kui is the master of Wenchang, Bi is the star of Duoji, and Brother Lu's name is very good. In this case, you can call me Yishan."

Lu Kui smiled and said, "Kui Xing and Bi Xing are both the masters of Wenqu, but it's a pity that a murderer like me has usurped the throne. This is really a disgrace to the culture."

Shen Chongyao didn't expect that his flattery had actually hit the horse's leg, and he said awkwardly: "Brother Wenbi is a brilliant writer, and his name is just as he deserves." He quickly changed the subject: "I wonder if you have any advice for me today?"

Speaking of business, Lu Kui's face also became serious: "Since we are one family, there is no need to beat around the bush about many things. To be honest, I was summoned here today."

He looked at Ning'er's uncle by blood and said, "Miss Ning is in trouble, and His Majesty sent me here, hoping to relieve her worries. Brother Yishan, please ask her to come over for a chat."

Shen Chongyao never expected that Ning'er would borrow Lu Kui from the emperor in one day. He immediately felt very uncomfortable: "I wonder what important matter the young lady has that requires you to come? I wonder if Yao can do it for you?"

Lu Kui spread his hands and said, "As for what to do, I am just like Yishan, waiting for your instructions."

----

Being stared at by such a huge Buddha, Shen Chongyao had no choice but to obey the order. Not caring about the late hour, he sent someone to invite Miss Ning over, which was not very polite.

Ning'er had been waiting for Lu Kui for a long time. She had been wondering how he would come to find her, but she didn't expect that before Lu Kui came, the maid from the second master's room came first.

"Lord Lu?" Ning'er walked into the flower hall in confusion. When she raised her eyes, she saw the person she was looking for standing in front of her.

He was dressed in a dazzling crimson official robe, looking handsome and dazzling, and was waiting for her with a smile on his face.

She looked at Shen Chongyao in surprise: "Second Master?", then turned her gaze back to Lu Kui and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

At this moment, Lu Kui's mind was filled with only Ning'er. He personally helped her to a seat and poured tea for her. Then he looked at Shen Chongyao and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Ning. The second master is one of us."

"One of our own?" Ning Er raised her eyes thoughtfully and looked at Shen Chongyao meaningfully: "I see."

In front of Ning'er, his identity was suddenly revealed. Shen Chongyao was a little embarrassed: "This... that, I didn't mean to hide it, but I am indeed lucky to follow the master."

Ning Er took a sip of tea slowly and said faintly, "Okay, okay, so you are also his person. I thought that Liu Ying was one, Han Guang was one, but that was not enough, he even had the ability to manipulate the second master of the Marquis' Mansion."

She said something sharp, "Second Master, is the surname of the Xinyuan Marquisate Shen or Chu?"

Shen Chongyao couldn't even pretend to be an elder anymore. He clasped his fists and begged for mercy: "Please forgive me, young lady. I really didn't mean to hide it. I just haven't found the right opportunity."

Lu Kui folded his arms and watched from the side, sneering: "Second Master, you are confused. Will the young lady blame you for such a thing?"

Ning Er really laughed and said, "Second Master, you are joking. You are good friends with Master Chu, so how can you talk about hiding something?"

She turned to look at Lu Kui and said, "I'm just wondering if it would be convenient for me to let the Second Master know about my visit to Lord Lu?"

Lu Kui simply said, "Whatever the young lady wants to do, I can do it by myself. Why should I let others interfere?"

Ning Er tilted her head and thought for a while, a little undecided: "But this is indeed a family affair of the Marquis' Mansion."

Shen Chongyao was surprised: "The Shen family's affairs?" He really couldn't think of what kind of family affairs in the Marquis' Mansion could require Miss Ning to go to so much trouble to ask Lu Kui from the Emperor to investigate.

When Lu Kui heard this, he laughed. He said softly, "If that's the case, just tell me directly." His eyes flickered as he spoke and laughed, "Even if the Second Master knew about it, I wouldn't dare to delay your business."

Those extremely beautiful eyes revealed a murderous aura, and he stared at Shen Er: "Brother Yishan, is that right?"

Shen Chongyao was sweating profusely. He laughed and said, "If it's inconvenient, how about I take my leave first?"

Ning Er held onto the chair, sighed deeply, and spoke with great difficulty: "Before a conclusion is reached, you must not tell anyone else."

She stared at Lu Kui and whispered, "I want Lord Lu to help me check... whether Master Ying and Miss Yao are the Marquis' children!"
