"Master?" Lan Bai was surprised, why did they want to see the little beggar's sister.
Lou Qingwu gave her a calm look, and got down from the carriage, Lan Bai immediately followed. Lou Qingwu asked the coachman to stop here, and followed the child slowly in one direction.
They walked all the way to the end of the alley, and then went around many circles. At the end, Lan Bai couldn't remember how he was going to get out.
Finally, when they arrived at a dilapidated courtyard, the little beggar became excited, and pushed open the rusty iron gate of the courtyard. With a creaking sound, Lan Bai's ears trembled. He turned his head and asked cautiously: "Master, isn't this a conspiracy?"
Lou Qingwu smiled but didn't answer, she followed the little beggar and walked in first, Lan Bai followed, when they walked in, the iron gate closed with a sound, Lan Bai quickly turned around, and saw several black-clothed shadow guards guarding there, She squinted her eyes, and then looked at the main hall facing Yuanzi. A tall man was standing with his back to them. Hearing the movement, he turned around. He was dressed in a black suit, making his face even more stern.
It was the second prince Xia Hourui.
Lan Bai was stunned for a moment, and grabbed Lou Qingwu's sleeve, "Master, how could it be the second prince? You already knew it?"
Otherwise, how could the master follow along so happily.
"Well, the kid told me."
"Oh? Miss Lou is talking about it, why did the child tell you?" Xia Hourui walked out from the main hall, his eyebrows and eyes were more serious than before, but there were more things that Lou Qingwu couldn't find, and they faded away. Xia Hourui, who was finally frizzy in his bones, really looked like a king.
"This child is dressed in rags, but there is a piece of black jade hanging on the rope around his waist. If I read correctly, this black jade is the only one that the Empress Dowager gave you as a birthday present in the eighth year of Yonghe. "
There was a strange color in Xia Hourui's eyes, and then it settled into the black eyes, so deep that one can't see to the end.
"Miss Lou is really smart."
"I don't know that the second prince brought me here, but something happened?" Lou Qingwu smiled indifferently, and changed the subject to ask Xia Hourui's purpose for coming today.
"I don't believe Miss Lou can't guess my purpose." The light in Xia Hou Rui's eyes softened, with a bit of incomprehensible emotion in them, and finally turned into Wubo Wuhen.
"Oh? What exactly does the Second Prince want to know?"
"Did you do that thing? I want to know... the real answer." Xia Hourui's eyes darkened.
Lou Qingwu pursed her lips, thought for a while, then nodded: "I did it."
"But really?"
"Half-truth, half-false, the second prince only needs to know that she is not dead."
Xia Hourui pursed her thin lips lightly, and after a long time, he sighed, "I can't understand your thoughts at all now." Since he has already ruthlessly rejected him, why should he help him now? He doesn't like Shangguan Yiyun, nor does he want to After marrying her, after Qian Fan died, he was finally disappointed and agreed with all the arrangements. But at this moment, she took Shangguan Yiyun away from him again.
"I said before that I will help you, and naturally I will not leave you with any regrets. After Shangguan Yiyun faked his death, you can naturally announce to the world that Miss Shangguan will not marry for three years. This will also leave everyone with a sage and benevolence reputation, and I also believe that three years is enough for the second prince to get what you want. As for the person who will stand by your side in the future, the second prince needs to choose."
A moving expression flashed across Xia Hourui's eyes, "You..."
"But no matter who it is, it can't be me." Lou Qingwu interrupted him, cutting off the last hope in his heart.
"Okay, I see." Suddenly lowering his eyes, Xia Hourui covered the darkness in his eyes: "You... just like Xia Houqing so much?"
Lou Qingwu paused for a moment, and then said something unclear: "Whether you like it or not, you just need to know that I will marry him in the end."
When Lou Qingwu returned to Lou's mansion, when she passed the front yard, she unexpectedly found that the second wife Ruan Zhen and the fourth wife Hao Meier had a good conversation. The two walked slowly, with smiles on their brows and eyes. This kind of scene seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.
Hao Meier saw Lou Qingwu first, and quickly walked a few steps forward with the help of the maid.
"Miss, you came at the right time. I haven't found a chance. I want to thank you for saving me last time. Without you, there would be no Hao Meier now. I apologize to you for what happened last time."
"What did Si Yiniang say, the child in your womb will also be my younger brother in the future, so I will naturally do my best."
His gaze inadvertently fell on the kind face of the second wife, and she looked at Ruan Zhen and Hao Meier's sisters with a smile, squinted her eyes, and said something polite to Hao Meier, Lou Qingwu went back to Yifeng with an excuse Court.
As soon as he entered the Yifeng Pavilion, Lan Bai yelled in disbelief, "Master, with the jealous nature of the second lady, it is really rare to be able to get together with the fourth lady. Moreover, the fourth lady is so relieved of the second lady? After all, she is pregnant with the master's child, which is a big threat to the second lady." Lou Qingwu smiled and looked up at Lan Bai.
"Since you find it strange, go find out what happened during our absence."
She didn't believe that Hao Meier would be so careless, that she would really believe that Ruan Zhen would treat her sincerely.
There is only one explanation for letting her guard down so much.
Ruan Zhen must have done something to make her believe that Ruan Zhen would not harm her again.
Lan Bai's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm going right away." After finishing speaking, she floated out like a gust of wind, but after half an hour, she floated back again, and when she arrived in front of Lou Qingwu, she couldn't believe it.
"Master, you won't even believe it when you tell me that the second lady saved the fourth lady's life today."
"Oh?" Lou Qingwu's pupils shrank, "How do you say?"
Lan Bai poured two cups of tea, one for Lou Qingwu, and one for herself, before taking a breath and continuing.
"In the afternoon, Fourth Madam Hao Meier came out to breathe and relax because she had been trapped in the yard for too long. Just as she walked to the bridge in the front yard, a snake suddenly swam over. Fourth Madam jumped up in shock. I don't know who the maid who was following her accidentally tripped her, and when she was about to fall into the water, she was rescued by Ruan Zhen who came across. Then, the fourth lady was so grateful that she felt estranged from the second lady Then they broke up, and the master also saw the opening scene."
Lou Qingwu bent her fingers, and lightly tapped the table with two fingers, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, Ruan Zhen was smart.
"What do you think of this matter?"
