Chapter 482 This Level Has Been Passed
Seeing that Lu'er refused to leave, the maid stopped forcing her and took another maid away.
In the room, the two fell into silence.
After a while, Shen Cuo asked, "Is he good to you?"
Lu Shian chuckled: "Everyone in the capital knows this."
Shen Cuo smiled bitterly: "Yes, this question is unnecessary."
It is known to everyone that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only favors his concubine.
"So, are you happy?"
"I'm happy. Why not? Look at what I eat, wear and use now. Everything is top quality."
Lu Shian answered without thinking.
Shen Cuo forced a smile and nodded. He knew, he had always known, that Li Hongting treated her very well.
But he just wouldn't give up and wanted to hear her say it in person.
Now that he said it, he felt so sad that he couldn't express it in words.
The two fell into silence again.
Lu Shian licked his lips and asked, "I heard that the Prince Consort recognized you?"
Shen Cuo uttered a light "hmm".
"Then the eldest princess..."
"It's also considered as acknowledging my existence."
Although he knew that the princess did not truly recognize him, it did not matter. As long as he could find out the real cause of his mother's death, he did not care.
Even if it means recognizing a thief as your father.
As long as he can find out the truth, he will admit it.
As long as he finds out the truth, he will definitely avenge his mother, no matter who that person is.
The two of them fell into silence again, and it lasted until dark, when Shen Cuo left Lu Shian.
Shortly after he left, someone went to report to Li Hongting.
"Your Highness, your guess is correct. Someone did come out from the backyard."
"Then did you see his appearance clearly?"
The man paused for a moment, then spoke out, "It's Shen Cuo."
Shen is wrong.
Li Hongting paused.
The relationship between the two was very ambiguous before, and now...
But he believed that he was framed today.
But he didn't understand how Lu Shian brought the person back to the Prince's Mansion.
He followed Lu Shian closely all the way, and there were people in the palace watching him secretly. It was impossible for a living person to be invisible to so many people.
He waved his hand to signal the man to leave, and then he sat behind the desk, lost in thought.
Suddenly he remembered the dark lump again.
He stood up and walked to the bookshelf, casually moving a vase. With a slight mechanical sound, the bookshelf slowly moved, revealing a door.
Li Hongting walked in. There were not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also many calligraphy and paintings. Of course, these were not the most important things. The most important thing was the neatly arranged bookshelf on the side.
Li Hongting took down a brocade box from the bookshelf, and inside the box were some dark black lumps.
No matter how hard he looked, he couldn't see the mystery.
"Lu Shian, what secrets are you hiding?"
And is the baby in your belly really mine?
Li Hongting's eyes were deep and dark...
On the other side, Wei Feng also returned from Huainan City.
He went straight to the palace to meet the emperor. As for what he said to the emperor, no one knew.
All we know is that when Wei Feng went abroad, he brought the imperial edict with him. He went straight to the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion and announced the imperial edict to the prince to mine gold. The Yongkang Marquis' Mansion was not aware of this, as it was all done by Lu Jinghui alone.
After hearing the news, Yongkang Hou breathed a sigh of relief, and most of his symptoms disappeared.
After hearing this, Lu Shian was also very confused.
"I thought it would be a big deal, but I didn't expect it to be lifted up high and then put down gently."
Li Hongting picked up a rib and put it in Lu Shian’s bowl.
"Lord Wei Feng said that after Lu Jinghui was sent back to his hometown, he had been thinking about changing the Marquis's mind. I don't know how he set his sights on the gold mine. He thought that the large amount of gold he could earn for the Lu family would change the Marquis's mind about him. Who knew that he would end up losing his life because of it."
Lu Shian ordered a bite of pork ribs. He had to admit that the pork raised in ancient times was really delicious.
"It has nothing to do with Prince Duan?"
Li Hongting paused, then said, "Lord Wei has already checked it out. If there is any connection, he should have reported it to the emperor."
Li Hongting responded perfunctorily, but he didn't think so in his heart. He was sure that this matter was 100% related to Li Hongyu. He just didn't understand why Lord Wei Feng didn't report it.
Given his understanding of Wei Feng, it was impossible for him to not find any clues at all.
There might be something else in this, but he doesn't know what it is yet.
Although the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion survived this disaster, the Yongkang Marquis's wife was not happy at all.
Because of this incident, she saw the warmth and coldness of human hearts.
After this incident, her mentality changed a lot.
She ordered her servants to buy more food and store it in the mansion.
Originally, she wanted to order people to make some bacon, but the servants said that the weather was hot and not suitable for making bacon, so she had to give up.
Yu Xiuying looked at the silk held by the servants and heard Nanny Li's smiling words.
"Madam Yu, this is what Madam asked me to prepare. Do you like it?"
"Thank you, Madam Li. It's just some food. You don't have to be so polite, mother-in-law." Yu Xiuying thought she would be in danger of death this time, but she was only locked up for a few days.
"Young Madam, please don't be polite. Madam, you can take it. Madam is not very good at speaking, so if she speaks bluntly sometimes, please bear with her."
Yu Xiuying is not only the first wife of the prince of the Marquis's Mansion, but also the biological mother of the prince's concubine.
Before, I didn’t understand why Yu Xiuying had so much food and acted so heartless. Now it seems that Lu Shian must have said something in front of the prince, which allowed the Yongkang Marquis’ Mansion to escape this disaster.
Although Yu Xiuying did not give birth to a son, she gave birth to two wonderful daughters.
Although both were concubines, one was married by the Emperor and the other by the Empress Dowager. This shows how powerful these two sisters were and how they could influence men to such an extent.
Lu Shian is currently a concubine, and when the prince ascends the throne, Lu Shian's status will also rise. Now that he has the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Yu Xiuying, how could the Yongkang Marquis' Mansion let him go.
Yu Xiuying was surprised that Nanny Li was so polite: "I know what kind of person my mother-in-law is. As a daughter-in-law, I may not understand her, but as a mother, I understand her."
Hearing Yu Xiuying say this, Nanny Li nodded repeatedly: "I'm glad you think so."
After seeing off Nanny Li, Mi'er came back and looked at the cloths.
“These fabrics are really beautiful.”
Yu Xiuying also thought the cloths were beautiful, and she picked up a piece and measured it against her body with a smile.
"Do you guys think I look good in this dark green?"
"Madam looks good in anything she wears."
"What about this peach pink one?"
Ying'er and Mi'er looked at each other and said in unison: "It looks good. Madam looks ten years younger in it."
After saying this, the two of them covered their mouths and laughed.
These two people followed Yu Xiuying from Changning Village to Anjing. In Yu Xiuying's eyes, these two girls were not ordinary maids.
No matter what she eats or wears on weekdays, she doesn't look like a maid, but more like a young lady.
