Chapter 336: Incident at the Banquet (1)
Shen Yu is discussing the marriage with Mrs. Ye. Of course, she is just a temporary worker, so everything has to wait for Aunt Ye and others to arrive and make the final decision.
Lu Yingxing's side was much simpler. He no longer needed to pretend to be a smiling tiger. He completely let himself go, with a cold face that kept strangers away. People who approached were scared away by his aura.
Naturally, topics such as greetings fell on Mr. Wu, those concerning business fell on Fu Yunxiu, and communication with the powerful and influential was shamelessly thrown to his father, as he was not familiar with those people.
Communicating with the military generals was even simpler, and it was directly handed over to General Gu Liu, who had inherited his father's position, and the newly appointed garrison commander Gu Chen.
He was just doing nothing when he suddenly saw Xiao Fan outside making a gesture to him. Lu Yingxing's face darkened. Something happened to his wife...
After Wu Liu and Wu Chen resigned from their posts as guards, Mu Yi took over. Both the light and dark guards were incorporated into the garrison army, still commanded by Wu Chen, who was responsible for the overall defense of the entire Zhuo City. The army led by Wu Liu was stationed outside the city.
The commander at the border is still General Feng, but he has handed over the position of commander-in-chief of the Zhuocheng Army to Lu Yingxing. Mu Yi, like Guyu in the past, has left the secret guards and is walking around under his real name, Xiao Fan.
"What happened?" Lu Yingxing's low voice sounded, like a cry before a storm.
…………
Half an hour ago.
Shen Yu said goodbye to Madam Gu and sent Zhan Chun and Nanny Zhang back. The palace was busy today, so why did they follow her? She herself was planning to go back and rescue Ye Mouan, the new favorite of the Gu family.
"Princess Zhuo."
She took Guyu with her, and the two of them walked and admired the beautiful scenery of the palace. When they looked up, they saw a strange maid running towards them. Shen Yu asked, "What's wrong?"
The maid looked like she had seen a savior, and said in a panic, "Miss Ye asked me to come and ask the princess to come over, saying that she was in trouble and asked the princess to come and save her!"
"Oh?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows in amusement and asked, "What did she do? Did she not restrain herself and kill the servants again?"
Guyu took a look at the princess who dared to tarnish the reputation of the new group favorite, and considered whether he could blackmail Wuchen if he complained to him.
The maid turned pale after hearing this, "No, no... I, I am just responsible for running errands, I don't know anything." Then she still said with a stiff upper lip, "Princess, please come with me."
Shen Yu nodded and said helplessly, "Okay, since you are not afraid of death, then lead the way!"
"Princess, this... this way..."
The maid led the two of them around a courtyard, through a garden, and after turning a few corners, they finally stopped in front of a very exquisite courtyard. On the right was a large artificial lake. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on the lake in patches, like a breathtaking painting. Every ray of light seemed to be telling the story of the quiet years.
It was beautiful, but Shen Yu couldn't help wondering how big her new home was! !
Seeing that she was not leaving, the maid turned around and asked, "Princess?"
Shen Yu shook his head and walked into the yard. Suddenly, there was a movement outside the yard, like a dark shadow flashing by. The maid shouted, "Who is it?"
Guyu glanced at Shen Yu, and seeing the latter nodded calmly, she slowly chased after him.
Shen Yu followed the maid into the front hall and discovered that although the house had been in disrepair for a long time, the details were still exquisite and the carvings were well-arranged. It was worthy of being the Prince Zhuo's Mansion. Every brick and tile revealed dignity and elegance. The faded gold lacquer decorations were still gorgeous in the sun.
"Where's Ye Muan?"
The maid shouted a few times and asked in confusion, "Miss Ye was indeed here just now. Princess, wait a moment. I will go outside to take a look."
Shen Yu nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
After the maid left, she considerately closed the gate of the courtyard. Shen Yu stood alone in the empty room, staring at the sky outside the courtyard in a daze, slowly closed his eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.
"My Lord...My Lord, please don't do this. Someone please save me!"
"Brother Xing, you already have Princess Zhuo, please don't be like this, wuwuwuwu!"
Then came Lu Yingxing's voice, "...she won't know."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled with great interest: Yo! Immersive catching an adulterer?
Did the sound seem to be happening on the second floor? She didn't go up, but just walked a little closer to the stairs.
The girl's cries became clearer and clearer. Perhaps because she didn't respond, the person above revealed his name directly, "Xue'er... I, Lu Yingxing, only love you in this life."
Then the noise above became louder and louder. Shen Yu walked up two steps, pricked up her ears and listened attentively from the corner. Suddenly, a hand covered her from behind. Shen Yu had half a foot on the stairs and was taken away before she could react.
"Ms. Ye! Help!!"
Ye Muan, who was almost exhausted at the banquet, had just sat down when she saw a maid hurriedly running to her and kneeling down with a plop, "Miss Ye, please save my young lady!"
Ye Muan was confused. Who is your young lady? Why would your young lady come to me, a guest of the palace, when she got into trouble?
As if she knew what she wanted to ask, the maid started to explain, "Our young lady...just met the drunk Prince Zhuo in the garden and was taken away!"
"What?!" Seeing Ye Muan's lack of response, a lady asked, "Who is your young lady?"
"Yes... it's Miss Daixue from the Tan family."
"What nonsense are you talking about? My sister has always been here and has never left." Tan Fuyao came up from behind and was surprised when she saw who was coming. "Hong'er, why are you here?"
"Miss! Please save Miss Two!" The maid named Hong'er seemed to have seen a savior.
Ye Muan just smiled faintly and said, "Oh, so, then you should look for Princess Zhuo, why are you looking for me?"
She was not stupid. There were endless evil tricks at the banquet, so her mother taught her how to deal with them since she was young. Besides, she didn't believe that King Zhuo would be easily fooled. This was still his home.
Seeing how calm she was, the people around her were confused for a moment, but they also agreed with her statement.
"Princess...Princess, she has already rushed over after hearing the news..." Hong'er gritted her teeth and still said this.
"What!!!" Ye Muan finally lost his composure and pulled the maid away, "You lead the way, hurry up!"
She didn't care whether Prince Zhuo had slept with a woman or not, but her daughter Yu'er was pregnant now. Even if it was true, she couldn't bear to see such dirty things.
The ladies and young ladies behind him also hurriedly followed, and Prince Zhuo's mansion became lively this time!
Ye Muan took the lead, but stopped at the hidden path next to the banquet hall and asked, "Are you sure you went here?"
Hong Er didn't understand what she meant by asking this question, so she nodded and said, "Yes, this is a shortcut."
Ye Muan frowned and deliberately asked loudly:
"Are you a servant of Prince Zhuo's Mansion? Or a servant of the Tan family? How come you are so familiar with the small paths in Prince Zhuo's Mansion?"
