Chapter 212 Looking forward and looking back
"So stingy" and "Not even a gift for meeting", Zhao Mianmian's description made passers-by on the street laugh, and everyone was waiting to watch the show.
On the other hand, when Wang Yuan heard what Zhao Mianmian said, his brows frowned, relaxed, and then frowned again. Finally, his usually cheerful face showed an unprecedented solemnity.
He just exchanged a glance with the person next to him, and that person walked away expressionlessly. After a while, he returned with a group of more than ten people.
Dozens of them were wearing narrow-sleeved black military uniforms, leather belts around their waists, black boots, and had cold and stern looks on their faces, as if they were doing their job properly.
Standing in front of Zhao Mianmian, one would feel as if one was about to be caught and burned to death in the next second.
Seeing this, Zhao Mianmian quickly loosened her grip on Wang Yuan's thigh and took a big step back feeling guilty.
"Forget it... forget it."
"This third sister... is not something that must be found."
Barrage:
[Hahaha, anchor, can you please not be like this? You are almost writing your guilty conscience on your face! ]
[Heh, she herself is an alien, and she tried to instigate the Xuanlin Guard to cause trouble. Isn't she afraid of shooting herself in the foot?! ]
[If you ask me, the anchor shouldn't meddle in this matter. He Xulan isn't a good person either. Don't save her or you'll get yourself into trouble.]
[Ah, not really. He Xulan is only fifteen years old. Although the anchor is living under the roof of the He family, there is no direct conflict of interest between her and He Xulan.
As the legitimate daughter of the He family, she shouldn't embarrass a little kid like the anchor. 】
[Fifteen years old? The daughter of the He family? No conflict of interest? Haha, you really like to overestimate human nature.
How about we make a bet? If the anchor can get away from this unscathed, I'll reward her with ten big swords! 】
[Hey, ten big swords? That would cost a hundred thousand gold coins. Sure, sure!]
[Oh my god, this is so inhumane, I like it. ]
[Host, one hundred thousand gold coins, you must agree to it. If you don't agree, I will look down on you.]
[Wait, what if the anchor falls into a trap? ]
[Then hehe...]
[Don't be so silly, tell me what you want to do if the anchor makes a mistake? ? ]
[By the way, since the host started broadcasting, he hasn't taken us to visit the Taifu Mansion. If the host offended He Xulan because of Lu Yuqing this time, then he can take us to visit the Taifu Mansion~]
The public screen was silent for a second as comments requested Zhao Mianmian to take them on a tour of the Grand Tutor's Mansion floated by. A second later, the screen was filled with two uniform words:
【Reasonable】
[Reasonable +1]
【Reasonable+】
[Reasonable, reasonable, very reasonable! ]
[It’s settled then! ]
[Eh? Wait, where is the anchor? Why isn't the anchor talking? ? ]
Zhao Mianmian:
【:)】
【Thank you guys for knowing that I am the host. 】
Zhao Mianmian didn't want to provoke Xiao Haizhou at all, but she was coveting those ten big swords.
In addition, she felt that although He Xulan had some small thoughts, she would not necessarily make mistakes on major issues, so she agreed reluctantly.
With the encouragement of the ten great swords, Zhao Mianmian seemed to be energized and instantly felt that the Xuanlin Guards were not as scary as she had imagined.
While everyone was still not reacting, she moved forward unnoticed, intending to continue hugging Wang Yuan's thighs.
However, before Zhao Mianmian could do anything, the man standing in front of her waved his hand and directly ordered the dozen Xuanlin Guards to go to the home of Lu Jiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Zhao Mianmian heard Wang Yuan righteously say:
"Although the safety of the people in the capital is under the jurisdiction of the Jingji Guard, since the little kid has come to me for help, I, Wang, cannot refuse."
"I'm going to take over Lao Zhang's job and find him."
"That Zhao... er, Young Master He, where did your family members disappear?"
"Oh, look at my memory, Lu family, you just said that your third sister entered the Lu family in the north of the city and never came out again, right?!"
"Alright, everyone, stop standing there and go to the Lu family!! Let's go to the Lu family right now to look for someone!"
He Shiyi was confused:
??? No, no, when did I say that the third sister never came out after entering the Lu family? ?
Zhao Mianmian blinked and watched Wang Yuan and dozens of Xuanlin Guards walking quickly towards the north of the city. She was too weak to speak...
**
With the Xuanlin Guards in place, even the door of a royal palace could be knocked open, let alone Lu Jiyuan's small residence as a third-rank minister.
After Zhao Mianmian reported the matter to Xuanlin Guard, he slipped away immediately, leaving He Shiyi alone looking at the empty street. He didn't know whether to find someone to inform the news first, or sneak back home to "take refuge".
Of course, the temporary entanglement did not allow He Shiyi to escape the fate of taking the blame.
Half an hour later, when He Xulan, wearing a veil and with unsteady steps, was sent back home, He Shiyi was also taken to the front hall.
Zhao Mianmian was very curious but didn't dare to go forward, so she found a place where she could hear everyone talking and hid there.
"Lord He is from a famous family and is well-informed. He is also a capable subordinate of Lord Zhang. You must keep your eyes open and not make mistakes on important matters."
The voice of the person speaking sounded familiar, but Zhao Mianmian couldn't remember who it was for a moment, so she had to prick up her ears and continue listening.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room had already imagined dozens of dramas and began to speculate on the public screen.
[Hey, you guys, what on earth happened to the Lu family? ! ]
[Although He Xulan was wearing a veil when she entered the room, and it was hard to see what her condition was, but judging from her gait, she didn't look fine.]
[Oh my god, is this true? ? He Xulan is the legitimate daughter of the He family after all, can the Lu family really do this to her? Aren’t they afraid of making a big fuss and losing their jobs? ? ]
[Oh, you just don't understand this. The He family claims to be a famous family, so how could they ruin their reputation because of a groundless rumor?
Make a big deal out of it? It doesn't even exist! 】
[That’s right, not counting the anchor, the He family has three legitimate sons, one legitimate daughter, and several illegitimate sons and daughters.
Even if something unpleasant happened to He Xulan in the Lu family, if it got out, it would affect the future and marriage of the three legitimate sons and a group of illegitimate children.
In this situation, do you think Qin Shuyu really has the courage to burn his boats and disregard his entire family for the sake of He Xulan? ? 】
[Especially He Shiqian, don't forget that He Shiqian is already quite old and is at a critical period in his career.
If I were to go toe-to-toe with the Lu family over He Xulan, the loss of face would be secondary. The key point is who would dare to marry their daughter to the He family in the future? ? 】
[You’re right. If we can think of it, then the Lu family can definitely think of it too.
Maybe the Lu family took advantage of He Jianxing and Qin Shuyu's cautious nature and set their sights on He Xulan! 】
[Ah, after your analysis, I feel a little sympathetic towards He Xulan...]
[Oh, what's there to sympathize with? Women in ancient times had no status to begin with, and being born in a wealthy family like the He family, they couldn't even make the decision on their own marriage. How could they escape the fate of being tools?
If you ask me, He Xulan can only blame herself for being born into the He family. Who made the He family value reputation more than anything else? 】
