The next day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh.
When the maid came in to deliver food, Lu Yunchu asked her to have someone clean up the yard. He thought he would have to spend some time talking to her, but unexpectedly the maid agreed immediately: "Miss, you are right. Young Master Wen will be back home in a few days. I believe he will come here to take a look when he returns."
After she finished speaking, she made an expression that showed she understood, which made Lu Yunchu couldn't help but frown.
Mr. Wen... the male protagonist.
The pursuits in the previous two lives left Lu Yunchu with an indelible shadow on Wen Jue. Although he knew that the vicious female supporting character in the book deserved her punishment, when he traveled through time and became the scapegoat, Lu Yunchu began to feel some resentment towards Wen Jue.
She sighed, took the food box, and was about to open it to see what was inside when her body suddenly stiffened.
"He's back, with that woman?" Lu Yunchu heard his tone harden and turned uncontrollably to look at the maid.
The head maid replied timidly, "Yes, I just arrived at the mansion gate."
Lu Yunchu had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, the next moment, she threw the food box to the ground with a "bang": "I want to see what kind of beauty this so-called "cousin" is."
The master was angry, and the maid was so scared that she immediately knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to say a word.
She felt her master stride out, and the wind from her skirt made her shiver. Then the wind brought a strange muttering: "Fuck, I knew it. Why waste food when there is nothing else to do? Is there something wrong with this author? My breakfast."
Maidservant: ...
Wen Jue got off the horse, looked at the carriage beside him, and said in a soft voice, "Miss Liu, we're here."
There was a soft sound in the carriage, and a soft hand lifted the curtain, revealing a charming face. She smiled at Wen Jue, took the hand handed to her by the maid, stepped down from the horse stool, and was dignified and pleasing to the eye.
Wen Jue smiled, stepped aside, and extended his arm to guide her: "Miss Liu, please."
Liu Zhixu smiled and nodded, then walked slowly towards the mansion. She had a graceful figure, but a closer look revealed that her right foot seemed to be a little lame.
The smile on Wen Jue's face disappeared, and heartache appeared in his eyes. He secretly swore that when he conquered the world one day, he would visit famous doctors to treat Zhi Xu!
He followed Liu Zhixu into the mansion, ordered people to take Liu Zhixu to the best courtyard in the mansion to stay, and told her to rest well.
Liu Zhixu blushed slightly, nodded, thanked her, and left with the maid.
Wen Jue stared at Liu Zhixu's departing figure, unable to look away for a long time. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly saw a woman in red running around the corner in the distance. She was in a hurry, and even from such a distance he could tell that she was not a good person.
Wen Jue's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yunchu!" Why is this crazy woman still not at peace!
Liu Zhixu felt someone running towards her and subconsciously tried to avoid him, but unexpectedly the person stood right in front of her.
"Who are you?" the woman in red asked, raising her chin.
Liu Zhixu frowned slightly and said, "This girl..."
"I'm not a girl. I married into the Wen Mansion and I'm the owner here."
Liu Zhixu raised his head and looked at Lu Yunchu in surprise.
I thought I would be facing a stern and mean face, but unexpectedly I saw a face that was trying hard to smile.
Lu Yunchu had a kind face, but his tone was extremely harsh: "What's your name?"
Liu Zhixu was confused and answered subconsciously: "My last name is Liu."
"Miss Liu, right?" Lu Yunchu caught a glimpse of Wen Jue's approaching figure, and felt his body uncontrollably wanting to turn around. He uttered the words, "I've got it down."
Liu Zhixu stared at her blankly. Lu Yunchu hurriedly took out a letter from his arms and said quickly, "Miss Liu, please help me. Thank you."
After saying that, he stuffed the letter into Liu Zhixu's hand. He caught a glimpse of Wen Jue coming over from the corner of his eye. He left quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Liu Zhixu was stunned holding the letter, and was about to put it into his sleeve when Wen Jue came and stopped him.
"What did she give you?" Wen Jue's face was livid. When he was out on business, he heard from the servants that Lu Yunchu stayed in the yard all day and didn't like to go out. Except for changing a group of servants, she just drank every day. He was relieved and thought that Crazy Lu would live a peaceful life after marrying Wen Zhan. He was still expecting that if she died of alcoholism, it would be a good ending. Unexpectedly, she seemed to have not given up her evil intentions towards him.
Liu Zhixu replied: "I don't know, who is that lady - that lady?"
Facing Liu Zhixu's misty eyes, Wen Jue's heart softened and he said in a lighter tone, "She is just a lunatic. You don't have to pay attention to her. If she dares to provoke you, send someone to find me and I will deal with it myself."
Liu Zhixu seemed to be thinking about something and didn't ask any more questions.
"Give me the letter." Wen Jue said.
"This..." Liu Zhixu hesitated.
Wen Jue snatched the letter from her hand: "She is rude and disrespectful. The letter must be full of curses and threats to you."
This is exactly what happened in the original novel. Lu Yunchu wrote a long threatening letter, confusing right and wrong, and fabricating a love-hate relationship between her and the hero. Although the heroine did not believe it completely, she still had a grudge in her heart. However, in the original novel, the female supporting role stuffed the letter and left without saying much, while Lu Yunchu said an extra word of thanks, and the hero saw the action of handing over the letter in just a few breaths.
Liu Zhixu wanted to take the letter back, but he didn't want to snatch it ungracefully, so he could only frown and say, "Mr. Wen, this letter was given to me by that lady. It's my decision whether to read it or not. You have no right to make the decision."
After hearing her words, Wen Jue was not angry, but admired her even more: "You are polite to everyone, but have you ever thought whether they are worthy of your treatment?"
He didn't wait for Liu Zhixu to reply and opened the letter. "If you don't believe me, you will know it after reading it. I am not the kind of gossiper who likes to gossip and slander others behind their backs. When I said she was going to write a letter to insult you, I told her only after I was sure."
After opening half of it, he felt that touching the letter written by Lu Yunchu would dirty his hands, so he handed the letter to the servant beside him with disgust: "Read it to me."
Liu Zhixu glanced at Wen Jue but did not stop him. Ever since they met, Wen Jue had left her with a favorable impression that was different from ordinary people. She thought that Wen Jue would not make a firm judgment about a person's bad character without being sure, but the girl in red was inconsistent in her words and deeds, which was really weird, and she could not judge at the moment.
While she was thinking, the servant had already opened the letter.
He glanced at the contents of the letter and looked at Wen Jue hesitantly.
Wen Jue sneered, everything was under control: "Read it out. Read it out to me and Miss Liu. I want to see how she goes crazy and makes up stories behind my back. This time I will expose her sinister calculations to the light of day. No matter how much nonsense she talks in the future, I'm sure Miss Liu will have her own thoughts in her mind."
The servant still looked hesitant, and Wen Jue said impatiently, "Read it." After saying that, he glanced at the weak and frail Liu Zhixu and said, "Skip the dirty words."
So the servant took the letter and read it out incoherently: "Hello, Miss Liu. I am Lu Yunchu, the second wife of the Wen family. I know it is really rude to write to you when I have never met you, but I really don't know what to do."
Wen Jue raised the corner of his mouth in sarcasm. Sure enough, it was just as he expected.
"I have a favor to ask of you. It's a really strange request, and I hope you can forgive me. I don't know how to explain it. I know you are kind by nature and will definitely help me." The servant gritted his teeth and read out the rest of the words word by word.
Wen Jue: “Oh.”
"… I want you to ask the outer courtyard to send some fresh ingredients to our courtyard. I know you will be confused, and I don't know how to explain it. I really can't order the servants around, but I know they will listen to you. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Miss Liu, please help me."
Wen Jue’s smile froze on his face.
The servant's voice continued: "Here is the menu. Please tell the steward in the mansion: fresh vegetables, meat, rice, flour, oil, various seasonings, chicken, duck, goose eggs, and if there is any fish, you can also bring some -"
Wen Jue's face turned pale and blue, and with every additional word he read, his teeth clenched tighter.
Liu Zhixu really couldn't help it and looked at Wen Jue strangely, his eyes moving back and forth between the letter and his dark face.
The veins on Wen Jue's forehead were throbbing, and he could no longer bear it and said angrily: "Enough! Shut up!"
The servant immediately stopped talking.
Wen Jue was so angry that his voice was shaking: "What is Crazy Lu doing again! Good, this time she is smarter and uses this method to slander me. Good, very good!"
Liu Zhixu lowered her eyes and said softly, "Master Wen, calm down." She paused, but still asked the question she was confused about. "But there is one thing I don't understand. As the second wife of the Wen family, why can't she order the servants around? Why can't she ask the main kitchen to prepare meals, but instead ask for fresh ingredients to be brought to the courtyard? It looks like she wants to cook a separate kitchen in the courtyard."
Wen Jue gnashed his teeth and said, "This is her plan. She actually used such a shameless method to wrongly accuse me. How could she not be able to order the servants around? The whole yard is full of her servants! And she didn't eat from the main kitchen. Did she want to say that I was poisoning her? She is so arrogant and domineering. How could she be so humble and cautious to ask for favors from a stranger whom she just met for the first time?"
Liu Zhixu did not respond and made his own judgment.
Wen Jue turned around angrily and ordered the servants, "Send! Send her whatever ingredients she wants! Don't send food from the kitchen anymore, lest she gets sick from eating and puts the blame on me, this crazy woman!"
On the other side, Lu Yunchu, who was happily returning to the courtyard, couldn't help but sneeze.
Just now, when she was writing the letter uncontrollably, she remembered the plot. Fortunately, the book did not describe in detail how the female supporting role wrote, and the content of the letter could be changed. She took the opportunity to ask the heroine to help her and send some food to her yard. According to her experience in the previous two lives, the more main characters, the stronger their independent thinking ability, and the heroine should be able to help with such a small matter.
Sure enough, after a while, someone came with carts full of food, making Lu Yunchu rub his hands with joy.
The heroine is indeed a kind fairy.
She hummed a song while directing her servants to transport food, little knowing that she had attracted a lot of hatred from the male protagonist.
